In 2024, Las Vegas Aces forward A'ja Wilson ran away with one of the league's highest honors en route to a historic 1000-point season and her third MVP trophy. She joined an illustrious group of WNBA greats like Lisa Leslie, Lauren Jackson, and Sheryl Swoopes, who also have three MVP awards and added her name to a long list of history-makers.

NBA two-time MVP was perhaps one of the greatest set-up men in league history. He recently lent those skills to WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu of the New York Libert
