It’s easier to spot an expressive LeBron James than a quiet one. And that was the exact case after A’ja Wilson made history with a record fourth WNBA MVP award.
The NBA superstar has never been shy about cheering on the women’s league, and with a bit of downtime before Lakers training camp, he’s been all over the playoffs and big news from the league. And as the Las Vegas Aces star clinched the title, he was all over social media for his unique wish.
LeBron James Had Unique Wish For A’ja Wilson After WNBA MVP Award
LeBron James kicked off his Sunday scrolling through the highlights, and when the news hit that A’ja Wilson had clinched her fourth WNBA MVP, he couldn’t resist chiming in. He hopped on Instagram with a post that cracked everyone up.
“4 piece chicken nugget!!!! Congratulations sis!” Bron captioned his Instagram story alongside an ESPN graphic celebrating her win. However, this isn’t the first time LeBron has shown love for Wilson. Back in 2024, he was all over her unanimous MVP, posting multiple stories and calling her one of the greats.
