    On Tuesday night, Kelsey Plum and A'ja Wilson each put forth dominant performances to take down Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever.

    Plum finished the contest with a game-high 34 points. Wilson chipped in with 28 points, nine rebounds and five blocks.

    Wilson put up this incredible stat line with relative ease — but Plum wants to make sure no one is taking her teammate's greatness for granted.

    Wilson is currently the frontrunner for this year's MVP trophy, and Plum feels the vote should be unanimous.

    "It's a unanimous vote this year, you feel me?" Plum told reporters after the 88-69 win.

    "We're watching one of the greatest players of all time in front of our eyes," she continued.

    Wilson, the league's 2022 MVP, finished third in MVP voting last season behind winner Breanna Stewart and runner-up Alyssa Thomas. If the 2024 season ended today, Wilson would be the clear winner of this year's award.
