Becky Hammon has long been clear on her feelings about A’ja Wilson, but nothing was more to the point than when she took the mic at the Las Vegas Aces’ second championship parade.
“I played against all the GOATs,” said Hammon, the Aces’ head coach and former franchise player. “Imma put it out there. This is going to be the GOAT of the GOATs.”
Wilson, who finished third in one of the closest MVP votes in history, has upped her game yet again in her seventh season. She is en route to setting the WNBA record for the highest season scoring average and carried the Aces while point guard Chelsea Gray remained out with a foot injury the first quarter of the season.
