A’ja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces)
September 2025
NBA legend Dwyane Wade claimed WNBA star A’ja Wilson could beat some NBA players 1v1, citing her intelligence, footwork, and versatility. Wilson, a three-time MVP and two-time champion, continues to build a case as one of the greatest women’s basketball players ever. On Lou Williams’ podcast, Wade argued many male pros rely on athleticism, while Wilson’s skillset and basketball IQ could expose them. While hypothetical, his comments highlight her dominance, raising her profile beyond the WNBA and sparking debates over cross-gender matchups.
