A’ja Wilson Has Hilarious Reaction To Surge In Women’s Dunks In Modern Basketball

The Unrivaled season highlighted that veteran stars still hold control over the championship runs despite a huge influx of talented young players. It also saw a monstrous dunk by Dominique Malonga, as fans reacted positively to the same. Interestingly, veteran forward A’ja Wilson, the WNBA megastar, earlier shrugged off the possibility of Dunk and now is watching some of the craziest dunks in Women’s basketball.

The player is at Team USA training camp with other top players from the WNBA. While there had been a limited number of dunks in the league, they went through a viral craziest dunk video.

A’ja Wilson Reacts To Surge In Women’s Dunks

There are very few female athletes who have managed to rise above the rim and slam the basketball through the nets. But a recent viral video showed a girl not only dunking in front of a crowd but hanging onto the rim for a moment.

The video shocked the four-time WNBA MVP, who said, “That’s pretty cool. I don’t know what the kids are eating nowadays”

“Idk what the kids are eating nowadays”

The Aces’ star had been vocal about revolution in the women’s sport, and a dunk is one of those kinds that she would be proud of. But off the court, too, the megastar is happy with the players’ association for the way they handled the CBA discussion.

A’ja Wilson Feels Proud Of WNBPA

WNBA players received a fourfold raise in their salaries, while the franchise’s saw their salary cap reach $7 million from $1.5 million. Although a Nobel Prize-winning economist played a vital role in ‘formulating’ the growth, WNBPA also held its line to get the deal.

Reacting to the same, A’ja Wilson recently said, “I’m most proud of there’s money in our pocket … I’m really, really proud of the fact that … we never left the table …. in moments where people just felt like we needed to give. I’m so proud … for sitting at the table for us. And that’s that’s a huge deal. But it didn’t come by any surprise.”

A’ja Wilson is proud that the WNBPA “never folded” before the new CBA deal.

She added that Phoenix “means a lot” to her and women’s basketball (where she led Aces to the 2025 WNBA title vs Mercury, won Finals MVP, location of Women’s Final Four and @McDAAG Girls Game this week). pic.twitter.com/uRMqBOq5Xv
