Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson continues to make history. On Sunday, the WNBA announced that she was the unanimous choice as the league’s Most Valuable Player.

Wilson is only the second player to win the award unanimously, joining Cynthia Cooper, who achieved the feat during the league’s inaugural season of 1997.

Wilson received all 67 first-place votes from a national media panel and has now won the award three times. The Aces’ star forward was also honored in 2020 and 2022. With her third win, the 28-year-old has tied the record for the most MVPs, matching Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie and Lauren Jackson.
