Can you believe it? Coach Becky Hammon’s squad once hovered around .500 midseason, and now they’re in the Finals. And a huge credit for the impressive run goes to A’ja Wilson, who’s been the motor for the Aces. She carried them with fire, which is now helping her dominate the Finals. But that’s not the only thing she’s doing, though!

The two-time WNBA champion is ensuring that she gets the championship title in her own unique way. She’s rewriting history while attempting to win. Just consider — she’ll be entering Game 4 against the Phoenix Mercury as the first player in WNBA history to record 300 points in a single postseason, cementing her name among the league’s all-time greats.

Coming off 34 points and 14 rebounds in Game 3, Wilson’s consistency and composure under pressure have defined this Finals run. She’s dropped everything from clutch jumpers to game-saving defensive stops to grab a win. “This is what I’ve worked for — these moments,” Wilson said postgame, flashing her signature grin.
