Isn’t Becky Hammon fantastic? Credit: By Platon Shilikov

Becky Hammon can’t stop making history.

Last night, she led the San Antonio Spurs to a 93-90 win over the Phoenix Suns to clinch the NBA Summer League Championship in Las Vegas.

Hammon is the first woman to win a summer league championship and she’s also the first woman to work as head coach in the summer league. Last year, Hammon broke the NBA glass ceiling by becoming the first female full-time assistant coach in the NBA.

Congratulations, Becky!
