A’ja Wilson’s dominance in the WNBA isn’t just about the eye test—it’s written in the numbers. At just 28 years old, Wilson has already built a résumé that rivals the legends of the game, and she’s not slowing down anytime soon. From her statistical dominance to her historic accolades, the numbers make a powerful case that A’ja Wilson may already be the Greatest of All Time.

It’s the number of league MVP’s A’ja Wilson has won thus far, winning it this season and in 2020, 2022, and 2024. Sheryl Swoopes and Lauren Jackson, two of the WNBA’s greatest, follow with three each.

That’s the number of WNBA titles Wilson has right now after her Las Vegas Aces swept the Phoenix Mercury in the 2025 WNBA Finals. It’s the Aces’ third title in four years. It’s also the number of Defensive Player of the Year Awards she’s won (2022, 2024, 2025). It’s also the number of All-Star Game MVPs she’s earned.

This is how many Olympic gold medals A’ja Wilson has won with Team USA. It’s also the number of FIBA Women’s World Championship Wilson has to her name, also as part of Team USA>

26.8

This was Wilson’s average in the 2024 WNBA Season, setting the record for highest scoring average in a single season. Diana Taurasi’ 25.3 in 2006 was the previous high.

21.4

That’s Wilson’s career scoring average, which would put her no. 1 all-time, surpassing all-timers Cynthia Cooper (20.9) and Breanna Stewart (20.5).

That’s the number of players in WNBA history who has won a championship, Finals MVP, league MVP, and DPOY in the same season. Wilson is that player, accomplishing the feat this year. It’s also the number of players in WNBA history who has scored 300 points in a postseason, and Wilson did it, too, in the Aces latest playoff run.

28

That’s A’ja Wilson’s age, meaning she’s still in her athletic prime—with years of superb play still ahead of her. Most players don’t even begin the GOAT conversation until their 30s, but she’s already matched or surpassed the career totals of many Hall of Famers.

—————————————————————————————————-

Whether you favor the rings, the awards, or the raw numbers, A’ja Wilson’s case for WNBA GOAT status is undeniable. She’s not just dominating her era—she’s redefining what dominance looks like. And if the numbers tell the story, that story’s still being written, one MVP, one title, and one historic season at a time.
