Becky Hammon was quite in the mood, even in the post-press meet of the Aces versus Liberty finals. Though the defending champions cast a stellar show and humbled the No. 2 seed of the league to a score of 99-82, Becky was still skeptical. But this time, the shoes of A’ja Wilson provoked her. The Finals of the WNBA was particularly a star-studded affair. Celebrities such as Cheryl Swoopes and Lakers legend LeBron James graced the event. Two four-time champions adorned the court, and the most interesting part was a tribute by A’ja to LeBron James.

If anything dominated the presence of A’ja’s performance yesterday, it was the shoes she chose to wear. It was despite the fact that A’ja seemed nonchalant about it. Because of her ward’s successes, her coach feels it’s high time to dedicate her a signature line.

But there was something about A’ja’s sneakers that drew attention. She donned a pair of sneakers worth 200 dollars given to her by LeBron James during the WNBA finals.

When she was asked about wearing LeBron sneakers for the game, her coach seemed unhappy and said, “She needs her own shoes.” Becky Hammon added, “She is the two-time MVP, Olympic gold medalist, and best defensive player two years running.” A’ja remained cool, opting to respond “In due time” while expressing gratitude for being included in the discourse.

A’ja is a Nike athlete with her own Nike Cosmic Unity brand. But when she made history with the Atlanta Dream by scoring a career-high 53 points, she picked the LeBron 20 sneakers to wear on the memorable night. She was even recognized by the Lakers icon, who turned to social media to celebrate her accomplishment and mocked “maybe the shoes.” After she won the DPOY and led her team to the finals, he gave her an exclusive pair of LeBron 21s.
