Las Vegas Aces star center A’ja Wilson is the frontrunner for the 2024 WNBA MVP award with her incredible statistics. The two-time WNBA champion leading the league in points and blocks has to set a WNBA single-season rebounding record. After breaking injured Angel Reese’s record, Wilson’s response in a post-game interview left social media in splits.
On Tuesday, the Aces beat the Seattle Storm 85-72, and Wilson registered seven rebounds to surpass Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese in the WNBA single-season rebounding. Before getting injured, Reese recorded 446 rebounds, averaging 13.1 per game.
In a post-game interview, A’ja Wilson reflected on her record-breaking 451 rebounds in 2024. She said, “That’s cool. I don’t hunt rebounds so it’s not something that is always on my mind when it comes to just getting the basketball for my team. … When it comes to getting them to get them, I’m not focused on that. I’m focused on putting the ball in the hoop.”
On her record-breaking achievement, Wilson said, “I mean, it’s a blessing. This league is tough, so if my name can be in the record books in some sort of way, it’s a blessing. So that’s cool.”
Didn’t Need To Cook Reese Like That: Fans React To Wilson’s Comments
With coach Becky Hammon and teammate Kelsey Plum, the two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year had a hilarious back-and-forth in the interview. Wilson appeared to take a subtle jab at Reese, which prompted hilarious responses from fans on social media.
In two weeks, Wilson broke the WNBA’s single-season scoring record, became the first WNBA player to reach 1,000 points in a single season, and registered a rebounding record on Tuesday. The Aces center is clearly the frontrunner to win the 2024 WNBA MVP.
