Crowning Aja Wilson

It's time to crown A'ja Wilson as the GOAT. Wilson's teammates applauded as they joined fans at Michelob Ultra Arena on their feet. The in-game announcer’s voice burst through the cheers acknowledging the moment. WNBA's four-time MVP scored her 1,000th point with her previous free throw, becoming the only woman to do so twice. She was the first player to accomplish the feat in 2024.  

None of it distracted Wilson. The Las Vegas Aces star still had another free throw to make. Wilson reached the milestone with 3:39 remaining in the second quarter of a 98-77 win over the Seattle Storm on Sunday, Sept. 20. She finished with 30 points and eight rebounds.

Like when she made history the first time, she only responded to cheers with quick nods. She clapped twice and backpedaled to return to defense. If you know her, you know she remained unshaken as the crowd roared, recognizing not just a record but a symbol of perseverance. With every instinctive move, she demonstrated the calm edge that defines champions, turning pressure into performance and inspiring the next generation to chase greatness.

The career of Wilson has been marked by remarkable accomplishments, including being the first pick in the draft. A four-time WNBA MVP, she has earned numerous All-Star selections and defensive player of the year awards. On the court, her dominance is only matched by her leadership and dedication off it. As a role model for young athletes, she consistently sets an example for her peers. Each season, Wilson elevates her game, solidifying her legacy as one of the greatest players in WNBA history.
