Aces high—again
Fresh off her Paris triumph, Wilson returned to Las Vegas with momentum—but her 2024 WNBA season had already left its mark. That year, she claimed her third MVP, doing so unanimously, becoming only the second player in league history to sweep all first-place votes.
While the Aces didn’t take the title that fall (falling to the eventual champion New York Liberty in the semi-finals), there was no doubt as to who was the face of the league.
Then came 2025.
If 2024 reaffirmed Wilson’s stature, 2025 redefined it. After a midseason slump that included a 53-point loss — the worst in franchise history — she led the Aces to 16 straight wins and the No. 2 playoff seed. From there, she delivered a campaign unmatched in WNBA or NBA history: the scoring title, regular-season MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and Finals MVP, all in one year.
Wilson averaged 26.4 points, 11.7 rebounds, 2.5 blocks, and 1.6 steals, leading the league in scoring and defensive efficiency. Her fourth MVP broke the all-time record, surpassing legends like Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, and Lauren Jackson, while her third Defensive Player of the Year tied Tamika Catchings. She earned her seventh straight All-Star selection and another All-WNBA First Team and All-Defensive First Team nod.
The Aces swept Phoenix in the Finals to claim a third title in four years, and Wilson’s second Finals MVP. By season’s end, Wilson had cracked the top 25 in career scoring and rebounds, and firmly held a top-10 position in blocks.
