A'ja Wilson reportedly named WNBA MVP for third consecutive year, fifth time overall as Aces star extends all-time record

Wilson extends her WNBA record for most MVP Awards.

Aja Wilson claimed the prestigious WNBA MVP title for an unprecedented third consecutive year and a record fifth time overall. This achievement marked her first annual payment of $205.00 plus GST for a one-year subscription, which automatically renewed to $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks. The 30-year-old sensation was the sole player to secure three MVPs, joining a select group of Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, and Lauren Jackson.

Wilson led the league in scoring, averaging an impressive 26.2 points per game, with a remarkable shooting percentage of nearly 53%. She also contributed significantly with 9.4 rebounds, a career-high 3.2 assists, and 1.9 blocks per game. Minnesota's Olivia Miles and Indiana's Kelsey Mitchell followed closely, receiving 287 and 212 points respectively, based on votes from a national panel of sportswriters and broadcasters.

Wilson's team, the defending champion Aces, has made it to the WNBA semifinals for the eighth consecutive season, although they currently sit at 2-0 against the Golden State in their best-of-five series.
