After winning all the possible titles in women’s basketball, A’ja Wilson has nothing more to prove. The Aces’ forward clinched all individual and team accolades from her college career, making her an ultimate superstar in the current era.
After winning the 2025 championship, Wilson also won TIME’s 2025 Athlete Of The Year accolade, which was a testament to her impressive season leading the Las Vegas Aces to the championship. But what’s more incredible is her comparison with the NBA legend Michael Jordan.
A’ja Wilson Predicts More Titles In Future
The former South Carolina star understands the pressure and responsibility that come with being the best player in the league and accepts the reality willingly. When she consistently delivers on the floor, the 29-year-old is often compared to Michael Jordan, one of the most dominant basketball players of all time.
In her recent interview, when the presenter brought up the topic, Wilson said, “I think I can do three more. That right there is everything I want (compared to MJ). Give me rings. Let me take the picture and really show off who I am. I don’t want to have to be somebody that’s like, ‘Yep, I’m A’ja Wilson, everybody.’ I could also hold this aura and impact where everyone’s like, ‘Oh no, that’s A’ja Wilson.’ And I don’t have to say a word.”

While the Bulls megastar won six NBA Championships in his career, Wilson has three. Also claiming that ‘that’s everything I want’, the reigning MVP might also be aiming for the three-peat that MJ achieved twice in his career.

A’ja Wilson Opens Up On Comparison With Michael Jordan
The Aces megastar was confident about winning more titles and cementing her identity as the GOAT in the WNBA; she felt overwhelmed following comparison with MJ. In the Jennifer Huson show, the forward opened up about her love for the game and reaching the level she’s currently at.
Wilson said, “It’s crazy. It’s mind-blowing to think that my name could even be in those conversations, as a young girl who hated to sweat and didn’t like the sport. And now it pays my bills. So, I love it. It’s so special, and I’m grateful. God has blessed me with so much. To have my name in those conversations, hey, I’m one blessed girl,” Wilson added.
But the comparison doesn’t end there; her boyfriend, Bam Adebayo, expressed deep admiration for Wilson’s success and compared her with Bill Russell, amping up her achievements.
