In this episode of El Ganso de Taberna, Don breaks down the 2025 WNBA Finals — a clash between the defending dynasty Las Vegas Aces and the rapidly rebuilt Phoenix Mercury. It’s more than just basketball: it’s a battle of philosophies, team-building strategies, and the future of the league itself.

From the on-court duel between four-time MVP A’ja Wilson and defensive powerhouse Alyssa Thomas, to the sidelines where Becky Hammon and Nate Tibbetts face off, this series promises fireworks. But the Finals unfold against a bigger backdrop — looming CBA negotiations, rising calls for fair pay, and Naphessa Collier’s bold statement that lit a fire under players and fans alike.

Don dives into the storylines that matter: dynasties versus reinvention, ownership investment versus continuity, and how the outcomes on the floor could ripple far beyond the game. With Vegas chasing a third title in four years and Phoenix looking to cement one of the fastest rebuilds in league history, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Prediction? Don’s riding with the Aces in seven. But more importantly — this might be one of the most significant Finals in WNBA history.
