At this stage of her career, A'ja Wilson is the dream of every franchise in the league. Jason Kelce's wife, Kylie Kelce, made an early pitch to the Las Vegas Aces superstar to bring her to Philadelphia.
As a part of the WNBA's expansion, Philadelphia will have its WNBA team in 2030. However, that didn't deter the wife of the former Philadelphia Eagles' center from making an early pitch to the best player in the world, and it was compelling.
"I can set the scene for you," Kelce said. "Our food scene, outstanding. Uh, I will tell you the passion from fans in Philadelphia. Oh, yeah. unmatched." "I will say on the receiving end, from visiting teams, negative feedback. Uh, from people who have joined us, 10 out of 10. Big fans. They're big fans of our fans. We pour it all into it. We really we love love people who ride for us."A'ja Wilson has established herself as the greatest player of her generation, to say the least. It is hard to imagine the Aces letting her go at any cost.
According to the reports released by the league, the team will be based in South Philadelphia. Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment has the ownership of the team, with Comcast holding the minority stake.
A'ja Wilson reveals the toughest player to guard in the WNBA
With 3x WNBA Defensive Player of the Year awards, it is hard to imagine A'ja Wilson finding it difficult to guard a player in the WNBA. However, during the interview, when Kylie Kelce asked about the player who brought out the best in her, Wilson mentioned a New York Liberty star.
"I'm gonna always say Breanna Stewart. I'm gonna always say Stewie," Wilson said. "Only because Stewie is just, she's a three-level scorer. And the way that she plays the game is so tough to read, because she's that skillful. ... Stewie is completely different." (Starts at 35:40)A'ja Wilson added that Stewart was a big danger to her opponents because of the combination she presented with a center-like height and guard-like skills.
"You really have to be able to know how and when she's gonna score the basketball. ... I really love competing against Stewie, because every time we play against each other, it is blockbuster, some elite basketball that you're watching. And she makes me think every possession, and I love that."Wilson quipped that she tends to get bored mid-game. However, when she is playing against Stewart, the Liberty star keeps her "head on a swivel." In their 19 regular season matchups, Stewart leads Wilson with a 10-9 record, and an 8-7 in the playoffs.
