- WNBA. Caitlin Clark opens up about suring expectations as WNBA's top assist leader
Not many people had a better summer than A'ja Wilson. The frontrunner to be named the 2024 WNBA MVP added an Olympic gold medal to her accolades.
Wilson made the United States proud as part of the women's national basketball team. Her Olympic counterpart, LeBron James, did the same for the men's squad, coming away with gold just like Wilson. The Olympics gave the men's and women's player plenty of opportunities to become closer professionally and personally.
That seems to have led to James paying closer attention to Wilson and the WNBA. After Wilson hit the game-winner against the Chicago Sky on Sunday, LeBron took to X to voice his excitement.
Wilson drew praise from just about everyone for her buzzer-beater. She finished the game with 20 points and 18 rebounds.
A'ja Wilson is very upset with WNBA refs
In the postgame interview, Wilson was particularly heated. When prompted on why she felt like that, it was clear she didn't like the performance of the referees in this game; and throughout this whole season.
Everyone has to do their job. From the players to the refs to the coaches... I don't appreciate being looked at and stared at as if you're trying to intimidate me or act like I don't have a voice on this court. If I get fined for this I am terribly sorry, but it's ridiculous. We've been going through this all season.
The Las Vegas Aces are now 18-11 and are currently the 5th seed in the WNBA playoff picture.
