Have you all seen what A’ja Wilson just did? She totally made history by becoming the first WNBA player ever to score 30 points and grab 20 rebounds double-double in a single game. Like, how amazing is that?
A’ja is an absolute beast on the court and this incredible feat just proves it. She’s definitely one of the GOATs in the league right now.
Wilson, who turned 29 on Friday, finished with 32 points and 20 rebounds to go with five assists and two steals in an utterly dominant performance as the Aces claimed a 94-86 home win over the Connecticut Sun.
The three-time WNBA MVP now has 30 career games with at least 30 points, tied for third all-time with Breanna Stewart.
“It’s huge,” Wilson said, per ESPN. “I didn’t even know, as many greats as we have in this league, it’s kind of a shocker that it’s just now happening. It’s a blessing. I love what I do.
“I love what I do. I love it so much, so anytime that I can come out and just play basketball the way that I love it, and the team, and we’re all getting involved – I’m happy with that.
“It’s pretty cool to have my name in the record books when it comes to that. I’m pretty sure there’s going to be a lot following up. So yeah, it’s pretty cool to kind of be the first one.”
The Aces have now won four straight to improve to 18-14 and move to sixth in the league standings in what has been an up-and-down season so far.
30 points and 20 rebounds in one game? That’s some serious skill and determination right there. A’ja is showing everyone what she’s made of and I couldn’t be more proud. You all give it up for our girl A’ja Wilson, making history and taking the WNBA to greater levels.
