Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson has made history once again. She is now the first player ever to win four WNBA Most Valuable Player awards. The league announced the incredible honor on Sunday, September 21, 2025. At just 29 years old, Wilson has surpassed legends like Sheryl Swoopes and Lisa Leslie. This is also her second consecutive MVP win.
Wilson received an overwhelming 51 first-place votes. She finished with 657 total points. This solidifies her status as the league’s top player. Her competition was fierce. Minnesota’s Napheesa Collier came in second with 534 points. Phoenix’s Alyssa Thomas finished third with 391 points.
A’ja Wilson’s Historic MVP Season Performance
Wilson’s statistics this season were simply dominant. She led the league in scoring for the second straight year. She averaged an impressive 23.4 points per game. She also grabbed 10.2 rebounds each night. Wilson scored 937 total points this season. She had 13 different games where she scored 30 or more points.
Her game has expanded in every way. She hit a career-high 42 percent of her three-point shots. She also led the league by making 284 free throws. For the second season in a row, she was the only player to average at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, and a steal. Her all-around performance was unmatched.
The Las Vegas Aces’ Remarkable Turnaround Story
The Aces’ season did not start smoothly. At the All-Star break, the team’s record was just 11-11. They looked far from ready to compete for a title. Wilson single-handedly shifted the team’s momentum. She led the Aces on an incredible 16-game winning streak to close the regular season. This is the second-longest win streak in WNBA history.
Wilson was phenomenal during that crucial stretch. She averaged 26 points and 12 rebounds per game. She even shot close to 60 percent from the three-point line. Her leadership and skill propelled her team from mediocrity to dominance. This turnaround was a key factor in her MVP victory.
A’ja Wilson’s Legendary Career Achievements and Legacy
This fourth MVP award adds to an already stunning resume. Wilson now has two WNBA championships. She has also won the Defensive Player of the Year award three times. She is a Finals MVP and a seven-time All-Star. She has built a legacy that will last long after she retires.
“Honestly, looking at that list makes you pause,” said one reporter. “Wilson has already built a legacy that will outlast her playing days.”
The physical MVP trophy comes with a $15,450 prize. It is also a custom design from Tiffany & Co. However, the true value is what it means for her place in basketball history. At 29, she is still in the prime of her career. Fans can expect even more greatness in the years to come.
