There cannot be a grander spectate than what the audience at the Michelob ULTRA Arena witnessed today. It was a double win for the Aces as guard A’ja Wilson carried the team to an 84-71 win while she accomplished a career feat of scoring 1000 points and became the first player to reach the milestone in a single season. It was just 2 minutes led in the game when Wilson hit a pull-up to reach the 1000-point mark. Just then, her teammates called a 30-second timeout and mobbed around Wilson to celebrate her big moment. She acknowledged the fans clapping her hands with tears of happiness in her eyes.
Talking about the big moment, Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo took his celebration to X, resonating his words with Wilson’s 1000-point career mark. “Hope everybody finds A’thousand reasons to smile on this lovely Sunday,” he wrote. The joy in his message was apparent as the Aces guard achieved an unprecedented milestone in her WNBA journey.
Right after his tweet, A’ja Wilson dropped a meme, responding with a rather blushing vibe.
