MVP or Not, A’ja Wilson Is the Best Player in the WNBA

A’ja Wilson is only 27 and still rising, which raises the question: How much higher can she go? She might already be the best player ever.

That might sound like hyperbole. It is not. What Wilson just did with (and for) the Aces was breathtaking. With her team down three starters, including a future Hall of Famer and last year’s Finals MVP, Wilson dominated the Finals against perhaps the most talented team in league history, the Liberty.

Wilson came in third for MVP voting this year, but was named the Finals MVP after the Aces clinched back-to-back titles.
