April 25, 2024. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly A’ja Wilson has solidified herself as one of the best WNBA players. Wilson boasts two MVP awards, a WNBA Finals MVP, and two WNBA titles at just 27 years old. Above all, Wilson is surrounded by supportive teammates like Alysha Clark, who often praise her. The exhibit of which was seen recently in an interview where Clark had something intriguing to add for the Aces’ center. In a recent appearance, Alysha Clark talked about her teammate’s impressive scores and skills on the court. “A’ja is disgusting in the most beautiful way,” she said, via Hoffman Women’s Sport. “The stuff that she does, the way that she scores, the way that she impacts the game, even off the court.” As of now, Wilson has secured the most rebounds in the history of the Women’s Basketball League. Additionally, she also boasts the highest average of 28 points per game. Mesmerized by Wilson’s on-court skills, Clark could not hold herself from praising her teammate. She added, “If she’s sitting in the room with you, you would never know that she’s the player or the superstar she is, and that’s along with all the amazing players that I’ve been with.” ADVERTISEMENT Article continues below this ad For those unaware, Clark isn’t celebrating Wilson for the first time. In the last matchup against New York Liberty in mid-June, Wilson got emotional in the postgame presser because despite scoring a dominant 21 points, Liberty emerged victorious.

Love you @_ajawilson22!” However, it isn’t just Clark; Wilson also focuses on making her on-court friends feel better. But how? Recently, Wilson brought a cake for her gay friend Sydney Colson just to tell them that she appreciates and accepts them as they are.
