Wilson excelled in many areas of the game this season, but her scoring was one thing that stood out the most. She became the first player in WNBA history to record 1,000+ points in a single season. Some of Wilson’s biggest offensive eruptions include going for 42 points against the Dallas Wings and posting 41 points against the Phoenix Mercury.
A’ja Wilson sends out heartfelt message following MVP win
Winning MVP at any level is a hard feat in itself, let alone doing so by unanimous decision. After securing the hardware, A’ja Wilson took to social media to send out a heartfelt message.
Early Monday morning, Wilson took to X (formerly Twitter) to give out multiple thank yous to fans and friends. She wanted the world to know how appreciative she was of all the people who went out of their way to congratulate her on an incredible season.
Now that she’s secured the MVP, A’ja Wilson’s focus must be on the bigger task at hand. That being helping the Las Vegas Aces defend their title and complete a three-peat. If they can accomplish this, they’ll be just the second team in WNBA history to do so.
On Sunday, the Aces had their first game of the 2024 postseason. Facing off against the Seattle Storm, they managed to take a\ 1-0 lead in the best-of-three series. Vegas won by double-digits, securing a 78-67 victory.
