Becky Hammon Praises A’ja Wilson For Excellent Season
While the Head coach deserved a lot of praise for delivering the third title, Hammon chose to give flowers to her superstar forward, who made things easier for her. The two-time finals MVP stayed on top of her opponent and raised the bar of her game in the second half of the season.
Speaking to ESPN, the HC lauded the 29-year-old player and said, “You run out of adjectives. That’s why I start using animals and mountaintops and everything else to describe her.”
Hammon famously called Wilson Mount Everest while comparing her with the former players and current players in the All-time greats comparison. Wilson also jokingly said, “I’ve been a gazelle, I’ve been a lion, I’ve been an elk all this year. If you could put that all into an animal, I think you get A’ja.”
The star had been ‘queen’ of the WNBA for a long time, and combining with the coach of Hammon’s quality, she is an unstoppable force.
