A'ja Wilson eclipsed a historic mark crossing the single-season 1,000-point mark for the first time in WNBA history on Sunday.
Following the game, Wilson shared the once-in-a-lifetime moment with her parents, bringing them along for a picture with the game ball from her historic game.
A'ja Wilson scored 29 points against the Connecticut Sun on Sunday night, crossing the 1,000-point mark with two minutes left in the game with a mid-range jump shot.
She became emotional upon eclipsing the historic mark and returned to the bench during the ensuing timeout to celebrate with her teammates and enjoy her moment.
The MVP frontrunner added nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks, shooting 52% from the field in yet another dominant display. The Las Vegas Aces moved to 25-13 on the season, while the Connecticut Sun dropped to 27-11 with just two games remaining for both teams.
A'ja Wilson eyes unanimous MVP vote with latest record-setting performance
Upon adding the latest record to her already legendary resume, A'ja Wilson furthered her argument as a unanimous pick for the WNBA Most Valuable Player award.
Wilson's argument for a unanimous selection has been garnering attention over the last few weeks.
Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo has also campaigned for Wilson to receive the unanimous vote.
A'ja Wilson is averaging 27.0 points, 12.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists, along with 1.9 steals and 2.7 blocks per game, and is the massive favorite to win the MVP award.
Wilson's landslide odds (-5000) lead Caitlin Clark (+8000) and Sabrina Ionescu (+8000) with just two games remaining in the regular season. Given the wide margin of the odds, it's realistic to think the two-time MVP will add her third and secure every vote among the committee in the process.
Wilson would be the first unanimous MVP in WNBA history. Jonquel Jones was just one vote away from securing the honor back in 2021.
