A’ja Wilson is on the lookout

“Bump the block I’m weak at this page calling my dad a fan. He’s def a SUPER fan,” writes A’ja Wilson in her Instagram stories, disapproving of a fan page for mistaking her father as a fan. Reportedly, a video was posted on that fan page, showcasing A’ja Wilson blocking Caitlin Clark’s layup shot and Wilson’s father having an expressive reaction to it.

The video has been captioned, “Fan can’t believe his eyes as A’ja Wilson raises up and blocks Caitlin Clark’s shot. That felt personal. NOT IN MY HOUSE”

On reading the caption, many fans flooded the comment section. One of them said, “Lmao that’s not just a fan that’s Mr. Roscoe, A’jas dad.” Another one said, “That’s her literal father coaching from the sideline.” While, a fan took the criticism to another level saying, “You guys are so ridiculous.. That’s A’ja’s dad this is why some people should not have a social media page.”
