It all started with MVP

The 2023 WNBA Finals MVP competition was won by A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces over Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty. Many believe that Wilson should be overjoyed with her prize haul to make up for losing the regular-season MVP vote to Stewart.

The Aces head coach, Becky Hammon, who has been vocal about the exclusion from its inception, may claim that Wilson should have received the 2023 WNBA MVP award over Stewart in the first place.

Wilson, who was named MVP in 2022, created a name for herself in the final series, helping the Aces upset the Liberty 3-1.
