Bam Adebayo wants A'ja Wilson to become GOAT

A'ja Wilson became the first player in WNBA and NBA history to win the scoring title, MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and Finals MVP in the same season. Earlier in the season, when Wilson was named the regular season MVP, it was Bam Adebayo who presented the trophy to the Aces’ star center.

The Miami Heat center later opened up about his feelings for Wilson. The Paris Olympics gold medalist made it clear that he believes Wilson should be recognized as one of the greatest women’s basketball players of all time.

"I want in life, I want her (Wilson) to win," Adebayo said. "I want her to keep being and setting a higher standard for everybody to where people think it’s impossible until it’s done. I want people, when she’s done, to be like this is the greatest women’s basketball player to ever touch a basketball. From the time she touched it to the time she left."

Wilson delivered another incredible performance in Game 4 against the Phoenix Mercury. She missed out on a double-double by a solitary rebound but stuffed the stat sheet by dominating on both ends of the floor. The Aces' MVP finished with 31 points, nine rebounds, four assists, two steals and three blocks in 36 minutes.
