"She’s watched me win on every level at this point. That’s a special moment between us. ... Everyone knows in this room, Coach Staley is like my second mom. So for her to come out – and she texted me, she was like, ‘I’m coming to this one’ – she didn’t surprise me this time.

"It was just a true moment and I knew I had to find her," said Wilson, after she guided the Aces to the 2023 WNBA title as Finals MVP with Dawn Staley in attendance.
