It was Wednesday night. Records shattered as Wilson lit up the court—941 points over 35 games. That’s right—she’s now the highest scorer in a single season! The basketball world went wild, with players from left and right lining up to congratulate her on this achievement. 

The Aces’ stakeholder and seven-time Super Bowl Champ Tom Brady also shared a post on X, expressing his admiration for the three-time WNBA MVP. “There are so many incredible players in the @WNBA right now. But there’s only one @_ajawilson22.” It’s clear Brady’s a literal fan.

While Wilson basks in the glory, the shadow of Caitlin Clark looms large. The Iowa star entered the season with MVP hopes but ended up with a harsh dose of reality. As we shift focus to Wilson’s triumph, one thing’s clear: Clark must be feeling the heat.

Caitlin Clark’s rookie season ends in drama

With playoff positioning already locked in as the No. 6 seed, the Fever decided to rest their stars, including Clark. She clocked just 20 mins, tossing in eight points, eight assists, and five rebounds. Mic-drop moment? Not really.
