A'ja Wilson Earns 5th WNBA Most Valuable Player award
A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces just won the 2026 Kia WNBA Most Valuable Player award.
I may have come (back) into the WNBA as a fan of what I saw in Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark as that narrative played out, but I pretty quickly clocked who this A'ja Wilson person was when I'd see other teams play the Aces and listen to postgame.
And by the end of last season, I was a convert. I own two WNBA items - a general Golden State Valkyries shirt and a Las Vegas Aces shirt with Wilson's number on the back.
So, five MVP titles seems like a lot, right?
