We’ll never forget Becky Hammon’s news conference, in which she chastised MVP voters for passing over Aja Wilson. And at the Victory Parade, the bead coach takes the microphone to honor her star athlete. Wilson’s most recent records solidify her place as the most renowned player in WNBA history, and we’re likely to see a rise in GOAT in the meantime. A’ja Wilson is only 27 years old, and her rise to fame in the league is no exaggeration. The dominance she has shown this season is exceedingly improbable, and we suspect she has already perfected her art.

Becky Hammon took the microphone during the Las Vegas Aces’ victory parade and praised A’ja Wilson’s ability. We all knew Becky’s basketball experience, so when she selected a player and labeled them as outstanding, it was notable.

The head coach of the Aces never missed an opportunity to praise her teammates, and she’s been constantly reminding us about the greatness of A’ja Wilson and her potential, which will raise the standing of the WNBA. The Hall of Famer has contributed a 16-year-long standing career in the WNBA, and her post-retirement resume sparks up as she’s been with Gregg Popovich.

Hammon debuted as the head coach of the Aces last season, and she brought them back home with two consecutive titles, and the sports world expects them to repeat the title as a three-peat like the Lakers did in early 2000.

Becky Hammon picked up the mic and said A’ja Wilson is “the GOAT of the GOATS “ she has witnessed in her entire career.

Star Sportscaster took to Twitter to share Hammon’s insights on Wilson, as he wrote, “Becky Hammon is unhinged. I took the mic from an A’ja to get some bars off. I’m an old ass b*tch. “I’ve played against all the GOATS…this is going to be the GOAT of GOATS.”

A’ja couldn’t hold her chuckle as she followed up with Becky and said she’d repeat this championship again, and the crowd roared thunderously. “We’re coming back, baby. We’re going to do this s**t again. Let’s do this s**t again.” Said A’ja concluded Becky’s speech.

Wilson is always drawn in parallel to LeBron James, and indeed, she is considered his sister. Expectations are high on A’ja, as she would build a LeBron-like legacy in the WNBA.

A’ja Wilson, the sister of Lebron James

The bond of camaraderie between LeBron James and A’ja Wilson is very endearing. King James has always been a vocal supporter of Wilson, and he even traveled to the Finals to express his support. When Wilson created WNBA history by scoring 50 points against Atlanta, it was a dream come true. She was LeBron James’ hallmark show. She also donned a pair of LeBron 21 sneakers that he had given her for the Finals.

Sabrina Ionescue and Breanna Stewart have their own shoe line. Lebron Jmaes demanded a shoe line for A’ja Wilson after she was selected as the Finals’s MVP. There is no doubt that Wilson is going to create history and grow beyond basketball like Lebron James, and we can sense that the day is not far.
