simply the best

A’ja Wilson’s greatness has transcended eras, narratives, and even debate. The Las Vegas Aces have now won three WNBA titles in the past four seasons, and Wilson has been the unstoppable force behind every one of them. It’s easy to get caught up in generational comparisons, but the truth is simple — A’ja Wilson is the greatest women’s basketball player in history, and it’s not particularly close.

She has won at every level — a national championship at South Carolina, Olympic gold, and complete dominance in the WNBA, where she’s now a four-time MVP and the clear face of the league - at least with anyone who pays attention to the actual basketball. What makes her greatness even more striking is how she continues to evolve. The last two months of her career have arguably been her best stretch ever — a blend of power, finesse, leadership, and relentlessness that no one else in the sport can match.

Wilson’s game is art and authority rolled into one. Her work ethic, defensive command, and big-game consistency define what excellence looks like. Rumors that she may soon focus on starting a family are real, but if that’s what finally slows her down, she’ll leave having already cemented a legacy that will never be touched.
