Dawn Staley's Bold Declaration About A'ja Wilson Sparks Viral Buzz

MVP frontrunner A'ja Wilson and the reigning-champion Las Vegas Aces took the court for a home matchup against the Chicago Sky on Tuesday night.

And just as she does nearly every game, the former South Carolina Gamecock proved why she's the favorite to win her third MVP trophy.

Wilson is the clear favorite for this year's award. But according to her former college coach Dawn Staley, the WNBA superstar should win more than just MVP.

Staley thinks Wilson is the league's MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and Most Improved Player.

"I know yall will say I’m crazy and biased or both….maybe but @_ajawilson22 is your @WNBA Most Valuable Player, Defensive Player of the Year and Most Improved….." Staley wrote on X.

Wilson leads the WNBA in both points (27.2) and blocks (2.8) per game. Heading into tonight's matchup against the Sky, the Las Vegas center trailed only Chicago rookie Angel Reese (12.0) in rebounds per game (11.9).

The Sky lead the Aces 69-63 through three quarters. Wilson has 22 points, eight rebounds, three blocks and three steals.
