The entire team, along with Wilson, were invited to The White House recently. Roscoe Wilson, the father of the 2022 champion, also accompanied his daughter and he seemed visibly emotional.

“I did all I could not to cry, I swear. I tell you that candidly, I did all but to be with my daughter at the White House. I mean, you can’t ask for a whole lot more. A lot of prayers, a lot of sacrifices, she made it. There’s not a dad in the world who wouldn’t want their daughter to be in a good place”, said Roscoe Wilson.

Like every other WNBA and NBA championship-winning team, the Las Vegas Aces met with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. While this might be Wilson’s first-ever visit to The White House, this certainly will not be her last.
