On Friday, the Las Vegas Aces center surpassed Diana Taurasi's record of 489 made field goals in the playoffs, becoming No. 1 on the all-time list with her 490th basket. Wilson's record-breaking shot, a mid-range jumper, came after an assist from Jackie Young with 5:28 left in the first quarter of Game 3 against Golden State Valkyries. This victory sets up potential records for Wilson, including becoming the all-time blocks leader in WNBA playoff history with 132 blocks and closing in on Sue Bird's career points record with 12 points remaining. Despite her achievements, Wilson remains humble and grateful, expressing her desire to maintain her love for the game while acknowledging her place among the league's greats.",
