A’ja Wilson has been soaring in the MVP rankings for a long time. Playing some incredible basketball, Wilson has now led the Las Vegas Aces to 16 consecutive wins in the league. And while the team is currently pushing for a deep playoff run, the situation around their frontline star is looking pretty rosy at the moment. As the frontrunner to winning the WNBA MVP, the 29-year-old had a vibrant message for her team.
The race for the MVP has intensified significantly. A host of athletes like Napheesa Collier, Alyssa Thomas, and Kelsey Mitchell have been touted as potential winners. However, in all probability, the crown might be going to none other than Wilson. And she cannot be happier about the same.
A’ja Wilson Gets Candid About Her Potential Fourth WNBA MVP Award
The Aces star has been in phenomenal form throughout the season. Wilson recently achieved a major single-season milestone for the Aces. She surpassed Breanna Stewart for the third-most points scored in a single season. And with that, the noises of the Aces star winning the MVP award yet again got louder. She has already won the award three times in her career so far. If she can really clinch the title for a fourth time, it will be a unique feat.
Speaking about the same, Wilson looked extremely happy and grateful to be achieving the award. In an interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews, the Aces’ frontline star said, “I’m grateful, I’m blessed to be just surrounded by an amazing team that helps me just be who I am.”
