A'ja Wilson, the Ace, Joins Q and D | Knuckleheads Quarantine: E13 | The Players' Tribune
Спорт
Young Legend A’ja Wilson pulls up on Knuckleheads with Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles. The Las Vegas Aces superstar has already done so much it’s crazy to think she’s just at the start of her basketball journey. But, man, what a journey it’s already been. She started out at a small private school learning how to camp. Yes. She can build a fire and take care of herself in the wild. Talk with the fellas moves on to A’ja’s recruitment to South Carolina. She explains why playing with Dawn Staley was the best decision of her life and reveals what went into establishing South Carolina as a basketball powerhouse. What it was like pledging to the legendary Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. Why going No.1 in the WNBA draft was both a dream and a stressful experience. Playing with her idols. Playing with Pearls. Nearly winning a championship in her second year. And the reason why the Bad Boy himself, Bill Lambier, has her back. It’s a ride that’s just getting started, a story that’s still being told. You won’t want to miss this one. Young Legend. A’ja Wilson. Respect.

Let’s go
I listen while i'm driving and that is the only reason I have not left numerous comments urging D. Miles to use the correct fucking word lol. He's asked the same question in God knows how many interviews and every time he's used the word "installed" lol.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Preciate y’all
A’ja and I the same age. Lisa Leslie ain’t play that long ago lol. Being from LA, she’s literally who I grew up on. So Lisa just wasn’t accessible to A’ja at that time.
D Miles was funny asf this episode lmao
