LeBron James shows love to A'ja Wilson after historic MVP victory
A'ja Wilson wasn't going to be denied the MVP award this season and LeBron James wanted to give her the proper recognition she deserves.
He shared two screenshots of the Aces star's latest accomplishment and one showing her dominance this season. It has been a brilliant showing from Wilson and James is all in on celebrating her.
With her third MVP, Wilson has punched her ticket to the rare company of WNBA legends who have won the award three times. These legends are Sheryl Swoopes, Lauren Jackson and Lisa Leslie.
After a disappointing fourth-place finish in last season's voting, Aces' Wilson ensured there wouldn't be much debate on who the award goes to this season as she was the unanimous winner.
In his latest Instagram stories posts, LeBron James didn't want to miss out on commending A'ja Wilson for the kind of production she put out this year.
Aside from posting MVP images of the Las Vegas Aces superstar, the Lakers forward also included an image that listed Wilson's personal accolades in her seventh season.
From being the first WNBA player to drop 35+ points, 10+ rebounds and 5+ steals in a game to having the most boards in one season, Wilson was a force to be reckoned.
LeBron James commended A'ja Wilson for her 1000-point achievement
Last Sunday, the Las Vegas Aces handled their business against the number-one ranked defense of the Connecticut Sun. It was an 84-71 victory for the home team but it was Wilson's historic 1000-point accomplishment that ruled all the headlines from the game.
Being the first WNBA player to score 1000 points in just a single season deserved all the praise and LeBron James didn't miss out on it. He congratulated Wilson on X.
"Straight buckets! Congratulations sis," James posted. "Love to see it."
This season, Wilson put up 26.9 points (51.8% shooting), 11.9 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game. It was a dominant showing at both ends of the court for Wilson, which made her a matchup nightmare for multiple opponents.

He also shared the post on her Instagram stories and had strong praises for the four-time champion's signature shoes.
"LeBron's best sneaker for real," Wilson posted.
With a three-peat championship on the line, Wilson equipped herself with one of the best signature sneakers out there.
