A’ja Wilson Compared to Serena Williams As 4-Time Champion Backs Her Against NBA Players
Las Vegas Aces superstar A’Ja Wilson has built a reputation as a beast in the WNBA, amassing a record four MVP titles to her name, which simply proves she’s really out of her league. This sentiment has been echoed by former four-time NBA champion John Salley, who thinks Wilson could also dominate in the NBA. [...]
Former four-time NBA champion John Salley has compared Las Vegas Aces superstar A'Ja Wilson to tennis legend Serena Williams, predicting that the WNBA star would dominate in the NBA if given the chance. Salley's comments were made during an appearance on the "TFU Podcast" and drew a comparison to Williams' reputation for dominating her sport.
A'Ja Wilson has already earned a record four MVP titles in the WNBA and boasts three championships in the league, making her a force to be reckoned with on the court. However, her health issues may stand in her way as she sits out Team USA's 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup in Berlin due to a back injury. Despite this setback, WNBA analyst Jason Whitlock believes that Wilson's decision to withdraw from the competition is a smart move that could solidify her status as the league's top player.
Whitlock argues that Wilson's absence from the World Cup will allow her to focus on the MVP race at home, where she's currently leading with impressive statistics, including an average of 26.0 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals, and 2.0 blocks per game.
