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.”

Becky Hammon Details Why A’ja Wilson Will Be A Perfect MVP
Initially, it was Napheesa Collier who was running away as the MVP. Unfortunately, things took a turn when she was sidelined due to injury. And Wilson used this opportunity to the fullest. Taking note of how well the 29-year-old has been playing, head coach Becky Hammon shared her take. She explained why exactly Wilson is the right choice for this year’s MVP award.

Hammon stated that in almost every category, Wilson can be found in the top three. And that is exactly why there can be no debate regarding who the Most Valuable Player was.
“Anytime a media person has to ask a question, ‘who’s as good as A’ja Wilson,’ that’s where you start with the conversation, that’s your answer. That’s your answer. She’s top three in every major statistical category, but most importantly, efficiency. She’s number one in efficiency. And to me, people need to do that kind of homework,” she said.
Not only Hammon, Stephen A. Smith, too, recently backed Wilson for winning the MVP. Thus, with things going right for the Aces’ icon, fans will be waiting to see how things are panning out in the future.
