Las Vegas’ A’ja Wilson Caps Historic Season with WNBA Title

On Friday, A'ja Wilson led the Las Vegas Aces to a 97-86 win, completing the first four-game Finals sweep in history and securing their third championship in four years.
Wilson used midseason adversity to spark a turnaround after a 53-point loss, sending a blunt message and powering the Aces on a 16-game win streak.
In Game 2, Wilson delivered a 28-point, 14-board performance that helped seize series control, and in Game 4 she scored 31 points and nine rebounds, extending her Finals scoring lead.
Teammates praised Wilson, with Jackie Young saying `I thank you for challenging me to get out of my shell and always believing in me and cussing me out when I needed it`, while Hammon called her leadership `the result of all the work that you don't get to see`.
Three weeks ago Wilson won her record fourth league MVP and became the first WNBA or NBA player to win the scoring title, MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and Finals MVP combo, while Nike pushed her A'One signature sneaker retailing at $115.
