LeBron James on One WNBA Player: ‘Too Damn Good’

Los Angeles Lakers forward and NBA legend LeBron James has weighed in on the level of play that one WNBA player in particular continues to perform at.

Over the years, LeBron James has shown his support for women's basketball and has been a significant advocate for the growth of the WNBA.

During the NBA offseason, he has taken time to attend women's games, whether they are WNBA games or, for example, the multiple Team USA women's basketball games at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Several WNBA players are having standout seasons, including a pair of rookies. Caitlin Clark from Indiana and Angel Reese from Chicago have quickly made a name for themselves in the league. Clark leads the WNBA in assists, while Reese leads in rebounds, something unheard of for first-year players.

Clark currently averages 18.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 8.4 assists, while Reese averages 13.3 points, 13.1 rebounds, and 1.8 assists.

Although James has shouted both of those two players out recently, he made sure to highlight Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson after another dominant performance on Sunday afternoon.

"TOO DAMN GOOD!!!!," James wrote on his Instagram story. "My sister better than yours! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣."

In the Aces' 97-79 win over the Phoenix Mercury, Wilson had a monster game, finishing with 41 points, 17 rebounds, and two assists. This is just what fans have come to expect from her this season and in previous years.

Wilson is now in her seventh season in the WNBA and has been racking up accolades along the way. She is a two-time league MVP, as well as a two-time WNBA champion. Additionally, she has been selected as an All-Star on six occasions, received two Defensive Player of the Year Awards, and was named Rookie of the Year.

In 2024, she currently averages a WNBA-leading 27.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists.

The Aces will be in action on Tuesday, September 3, against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky. Tipoff is set for 10:00 p.m. ET.
