LeBron James spamming IG for A'ja Wilson—Is this the ultimate show of respect in sports?

A’ja Wilson just solidified her GOAT status with that third MVP! She bagged it in 2020, then flexed again in 2022, and now here she is in 2024, proving she’s built differently. She dropped over 26 points, snatching 11 rebounds, and swatting 2 shots a game. However, more than stats, it’s her drive that really sets her apart. Hitting that 1,000-point milestone was just the icing on the cake. And with the Aces pushing for that three-peat, A’ja’s legacy isn’t just set—it’s about to get more legendary.

Social media’s been blowing up with mad love for A’ja Wilson, and you know it’s real when stars like LeBron James and Pau Gasol are hyping you up. LeBron went full-on fan mode, spamming his IG stories with A’ja’s MVP highlights, and giving props to the queen herself. LeBron posted one WNBA pic highlighting Wilson’s legendary stats. One image had the words “unanimous.” He was referring to the unanimous MVP vote. A’ja’s out here making history, being the first ever in the WNBA to lead in total points, boards, and blocks in the same season—that’s next-level greatness.  Pau wasn’t missing out either, dropping a retweet on Twitter like, “More than deserved 🌟 and big congrats to her for that third MVP. The whole sports world is straight up giving A’ja her flowers, and it’s a vibe.

A’ja Wilson was straight-up unstoppable this season, and that sixth All-Star nod? Just the tip of the iceberg. She had the whole league shaken, leading the Aces to a 27-13 record and putting everyone on notice. But the MVP voting is where her dominance hit different—she didn’t just win, she took all 67 first-place votes. No one was touching her. Napheesa, Breanna, Caitlin—didn’t even come close.

This season wasn’t just about the numbers or awards for A’ja, it was about locking down her spot in the history books. The way she commanded the court and led her squad? She’s not just playing, she’s building a legacy that’ll last forever.

Aj’a Wilson’s shattering records like it’s nothing

A’ja Wilson’s season was legendary. She became the first player in WNBA history to go off with five consecutive games of 20+ points and 10+ boards. Moreover, she followed that by dropping 35 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 steals in one game—something no one else has ever done. She locked down her spot as the Aces’ all-time highest scorer and even snagged her first 20/20 game, only the second player in franchise history to pull that off.

Breaking records became the norm for A’ja this season. She set a WNBA milestone with 20 consecutive games of 20+ points, crossing over seasons, and smashed the single-season record with 15 of those. She’s out here rewriting the history books like it’s nothing, standing right there with legends like Candace Parker after putting up a wild 25 points, 15 boards, 5 assists, and 5 blocks in a game.

A’ja Wilson has truly made her mark this season, tying Breanna Stewart and Diana Taurasi with four 40+ point games, At the same time, she holds the record for the most 30+ point, 10+ rebound games in a single season with eight. Her achievement of surpassing 1,000 points in a season and breaking the PPG record by averaging over 25 points while pulling down 10+ rebounds is incredible. It’s impressive to see her dominance on the court, and she’s undeniably reshaping the standards for future players.
