A’ja Wilson has been in tremendous form this year. With the Las Vegas Aces looking to heat things up with their scintillating performance, one of their mainstays has been Wilson. The Aces’ star has been the frontrunner for this year’s MVP award. And in a recent update, Wilson hinted at earning a 4th WNBA MVP award.

The Las Vegas Aces faced a bit of a challenge in the midseason. However, as the team regrouped, they put on a marvellous show to win 17 games in a row. And soon after the achievement, Wilson was swift to take a shot at the critics.
A’ja Wilson Believes In ‘Staying Poised Through The Noise’
The Las Vegas Aces squared off against the Seattle Storm in the first game of their playoffs. And sure enough, the team demolished the Storm with a scoreline of 102-77. Emerging as one of the strongest sides of the league, the Aces are now looking like a serious contender to win the title. Following their dominant victory, Wilson spoke with ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt and reflected on the outside noise.
“You know, we keep thee main thing the main thing. We let the people talk. We always say ‘stay poised through the noise,’ and that’s what you see now. We never counted each other out, we stuck together, and we’re just playing good basketball within our system. It’s been good so far, but we still have some more work to do,” Wilson said.
