The Aces drafted A'ja Wilson with the first overall pick in the 2018 WNBA draft. Since then, she has won two WNBA titles with the team while also being honored as the league's Defensive Player of the Year three times. So far, she has played in 267 regular-season games while averaging 2.0 offensive rebounds, 7.4 defensive rebounds, and 21.4 points per game.

Wilson came forward to share her feelings about winning the league MVP for the fourth time ahead of their semifinal Game 1 against the Indiana Fever.

"It's not going to hit me until the end of the season honestly," Wilson said as per Sports Inquirer. "It is truly a blessing to be where I am. I don't think I could ever put into words how special this moment is. My name is in the history books forever."

How well is Mark Davis' Raiders performing this season?

Mark Davis inherited the Raiders after his dad passed away in 2011. However, the team has just qualified for the postseason twice so far during his tenure as the owner.

This season, the Raiders kicked things off with a Week 1 victory over the Patriots at Gillette Stadium. However, they suffered a 9-20 loss at home last week at the hands of the Chargers. On Sunday, they took on the Commanders at Northwest Stadium. Unfortunately, they ended up extending their losing streak to two games after a 41-24 defeat.

Mark Davis and his team hired Pete Carroll as the head coach this season to help achieve success on the field. Will the Raiders be able to qualify for the playoffs this year and potentially compete for the Super Bowl?
