A’ja Wilson Crowned WNBA MVP for Record-Breaking Fourth Time — G.O.A.T.
Written by b87fm on 09/22/2025
Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson just made history. On Sunday, the 29-year-old was named WNBA Most Valuable Player for the fourth time — more than any player in league history. She now stands alone above legends Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, and Lauren Jackson, who each won three.
Dominance in the Numbers
Wilson earned 657 total points in the MVP race, grabbing 51 of 72 first-place votes. She outpaced Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx (534 points) and Alyssa Thomas of the Phoenix Mercury (391 points). Her season? Monster stats: 23.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, plus a share of Defensive Player of the Year honors after leading the league in blocks and ranking high in steals.
From Struggles to Streaks
The Aces weren’t always cruising — sitting at 11-11 midway through the year. But they closed the regular season on a 16-game win streak, with Wilson leading the charge. Accepting her award, Wilson got emotional as she saluted her squad:
“They counted us out and wrote us off, but we showed up every single day. It has my name on it… but this is for all of us.”
Legacy in Motion
This marks back-to-back MVPs for Wilson (2024 and 2025), adding to her wins in 2020 and 2022. She also set the record for most 30-point games in a single season and became the fastest player in WNBA history to hit 5,000 career points.
FOUR. EVER. THE. ONE. 👑

Her coach, Becky Hammon, didn’t hold back:
“By the time it’s all said and done, she will be the greatest to ever do it… Four [MVPs] already says she is.”
With the award secured, Wilson and the Aces now shift focus to the playoffs — eyeing another championship to cap off a record-breaking season.
