A'ja Wilson has been named the WNBA’s Most Valuable Player for the 2025 season. She is the first four-time MVP, besting three-time winners Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie and Lauren Jackson.
The Las Vegas Aces center won the award over finalists Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier, Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray, Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell and Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas.
"It’s crazy. It really is," Wilson told ESPN about the possibility of being a four-time MVP back on Sept. 11. "I’m just blessed to be in the position that I’m in, honestly, and just have my name in these conversations and on the list of greats when talking about the WNBA.
"Every time I step foot on the court, I don’t take a moment for granted. … I love what I do every single day."
Wilson set a record during the regular season with 13 30-point games. She broke the record on Sept. 8 as the Aces beat the Chicago Sky to secure their 14th victory in a row, tying for the WNBA's fourth-longest winning streak.
