It’s A’ja Wilson’s world, and we are just lucky to watch! The 29-year-old superstar led the Las Vegas Aces with unstoppable skill in the 2025 WNBA Finals against the Phoenix Mercury. Making history, A’ja grabbed the MVP trophy for the *fourth time in a row* back in September 2025. What a champion! LeBron James, the iconic Los Angeles Lakers player, is a huge fan of A’ja Wilson. After her brilliant performance, LeBron and his wife, Savannah James, went on Instagram to celebrate her huge success. LeBron posted, “@mrs_savannahrj and I watching our game bring it home again!!!! Congratulations Sis!!” What love and respect! Meanwhile, Savannah James kept it short and sweet, writing on her Instagram story: “Congratulations, my girl!!” She also shared a note praising A’ja’s amazing 31 points and Finals MVP win. This isn’t the first time LeBron has shown his respect for A’ja. He previously applauded her after she won the 2025 WNBA MVP award in September. The mutual admiration runs deep! Back in 2024, during a Wall Street Journal interview, A’ja talked about being called the “LeBron James of the WNBA.” She said, “I feel like that's what it is, but I try to wear it with grace. When it came to LeBron and his career and his journey, he did things on his time, his way. People tried to mold him and cookie-cut him and put him in this box. And I feel like every year, Bron constantly showed you and showed people why you will never put him in a box.” She added, “So I feel like when people compare me to him when it comes to our league, I feel like that is what I see...someone that has put a lot of passion into the game. But also, I never lose sight of the fun. Like, it is a game at the end of the day. And then obviously, if you're compared to LeBron James, you're doing something right.” A’ja also revealed LeBron is a big fan of hers and frequently praises her achievements on social media. Clearly, this dynamic duo shares more than just love for the game—they share mutual respect and inspiration! What a journey for A’ja Wilson—four MVPs in a row and a huge cheer from one of basketball’s greatest legends. The spotlight’s shining bright, and we can’t wait to see what this powerhouse does next!
