Aces MVP A’ja Wilson has emotional moment with teammates Chelsea Gray (left) and Alaina Coates following their victory in Game 4
Every time Pretty and I walk past the A’ja Wilson statue in front of Colonial Life Arena where the University of South Carolina Gamecock women play basketball in Columbia, we see people posing for pictures at this remarkable tribute for the Hopkins, SC native. Wilson is much beloved by Gamecock fans who regard her as one of the greats in our program’s history. No one seemed happier than Gamecock Coach Dawn Staley Wednesday night as she sat on the floor of the Barclay Center in New York with the Aces to watch her former player Wilson take the team on her back in the third quarter to lead Las Vegas to their win over the New York Liberty for a decisive Game 4 of the 2023 WNBA Championship series. The Aces also won the 2022 WNBA Championship which made them the first team with back-to-back championships in the league since the 2001-2002 Los Angeles Sparks.
Huge congratulations to the Las Vegas Aces for their historic second WNBA Championship in two years, to MVP A’ja Wilson, and to Coach Staley for having two former Gamecock players (Coates played with Wilson on the 2017 NCAA championship team) on the Aces roster!
