A’ja Wilson On Chasing Greatness, LeBron Retirement Talk, WNBA GOATs & More | EP 13
Спорт
WNBA Champion & Two-Time MVP A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces joins Paul George and his co-hosts Jackie Long and Dallas Rutherford to discuss when the WNBA first became a reality for her. A’ja explains why she decided to attend the University of South Carolina, what her relationship with Dawn Staley is like, and how much it means to have a statue of herself on campus. We find out which of A’ja’s accolades means the most to her and why she’s striving to become one of the GOATs in the WNBA. Then A’ja and PG break down the rumors of LeBron James’ retirement, why Carmelo Anthony was a walking bucket, and why the media continues to underrate Nikola Jokic. Finally, PG and A’ja draft their Starting Five WNBA GOATs team. #ajawilson #paulgeorge #nbaplayoffs #nbapodcast #wnba #lasvegasaces

@@seventhcompactor1505 she was on the team that brought home South Carolina’s first NCAA Championship. She was the MOP of that game and won SEC POY 3x in a row. She’s the leading scorer in USC women’s basketball history. She swept all of the awards in 2018. All of this can be found with a simple google search. Furthermore, the ppl that PAID for the statue deemed her worthy. The University of South Carolina deemed her worthy. Who tf are you to say otherwise? Sounds like hate disguised as an “opinion”.

I still don’t know how this happened, they’ve only lost 1 game. It’s actually unfair, surprised David Stern didn’t resurrect to shut it down.
#1 for a reason. A’ja my favorite player in the WNBA she’s a beast been watching her since South Carolina 💯
I was reading some thread about one of A'ja's plays and all the comments were from people who knew who all the players were and their contrasting dynamics, picking apart the game and appreciating the plays. It was honestly refreshing, real ass basketball talk about WNBA, reminds me of how we used to talk about the NBA on forums. Impressed how popular WNBA is becoming and made me realize that I'm slacking,, time to get into it
Good shit P! She ain’t no any regular WNBA player. She’s a champion and mf MVP!!! Read that again!

This interview was so damn good!! A'ja Wilson is an absolute future Hall of Famer! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love ❤️ A’ja 🎊 🎉 Salute Her🫡
Real ones fw Candace Parker, growing up as far as Women's Basketball it was Candace Parker and the team of UConn that was buzzing. shout out to Candace, she goated for sure.
When Aja picks herself at the end 55:10 ish…. That’s IT. Self confidence. “If you don’t believe in yourself, who else is going to”
Thank you, Paul George for the content. Congratulations to A'ja Wilson on the accolades. Hopefully A'ja Wilson will continue to be successful. Let's go Las Vegas Aces and shout out to the 803

Love me some A’Ja Wilson, she a GOAT in the sport already.💯🗣
PG struck gold with this podcast. The conversation flows really well with his co-hosts. The set is dope too
I got to see her at the McDonald’s All American ring ceremony and she’s really dope. She spoke with any kid that wanted advice or pictures. Super nice and humble
Knew A'ja was a real one from the moment she was celebrating the Championship with the Aces but this definitely cements it. Down to Earth and creates amazing conversation. Continue to lift the sport to the next level Queen!

shes awesome. you can tell shes a real hoop fiend. Much respect A'ja!
Nice interview! I love what A’ja is doing for women’s basketball. The WNBA is on the come up. It won’t be long before they start signing million dollar contracts. They’ve only been around for 27 years. They’re still a new league. It took the NBA about 30 years to gain popularity, so they’re right on track.
Love to see Aja on the pod. Keep killin’ it P!
PG’s Charles Barkley impression is pretty good.😂
I laughed about the game 7 comments. But this was a great show and I’ve been a fan of A’ja since the South Carolina days. The vibes were great

I always enjoy A'ja interviews. However, I do wish they would have chilled on some of the NBA questions. Geesh!
Best podcast by any NBA player. Current and former!
