Simone Biles is the name on everyone’s lips! Especially after Paris— for who else is on the top of their game, etching history like it’s a casual stroll in the park? There might be none in gymnastics. However, there’s one in WNBA, who’s scaling to historic heights in her sport with every shot of hers that baskets like a flash! Yes, we’re talking about the two-time WNBA MVP, A’ja Wilson.
Since the Sunday game between the Las Vegas Aces and Connecticut Sun, has any sports fan stopped talking about her? We believe not. While the Aces walked away with an 84-71 win in their pockets, it was Wilson who touched a never-before benchmark. While that got her dancing her heart away with her teammates and sharing a wholesome moment with her parents on the court, a former WNBA coach brought in a Simone Biles reference.
Wilson’s signature to get Biles’ eponymous move-like status?
The Michelob Ultra Arena erupted in cheers after Wilson reached the 1,000-point mark in the final minutes of the fourth quarter on Sunday. Fans are in awe for good reason! Wilson is not only the first player in WNBA history to surpass 1,000 points in a single season but also holds the highest single-season scoring record after last week.
