With five overall and three-straight WNBA MVP awards, A’ja Wilson’s all-time greatness becomes even more undeniable

Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson cemented her status as the most dominant force in WNBA history by winning her fifth MVP award and becoming the first player to claim three consecutive MVPs. The 2026 honor was hers by a commanding margin, with 65 of 74 first-place votes—an overwhelming endorsement of her third straight season leading the league in scoring (26.2 points per game) and blocks (1.9 per game, her fifth straight league lead).

Beyond her statistical dominance, Wilson set multiple records in 2026, including tying the mark for 30-point games in a season (13) and leading the league in high-impact double-doubles, further solidifying her two-time sweep of Western Conference Player of the Month honors.

While Wilson’s individual accolades continue to pile up, her team faces its biggest challenge yet. The Aces, already battling injuries, now trail 0-2 in the WNBA semifinals, forcing Wilson to elevate her game even further.

With five MVPs and three championships under her belt, the expectations for her are sky-high—but as her latest award proves, she’s not just meeting them; she’s redefining what’s possible in the league.
