On Wednesday, after A’ja Wilson broke the WNBA single-season scoring record, her teammate, Alysha Clark, could barely keep it together as she spoke about who Wilson is as a person.
Wilson’s ginormous night got the attention of some pretty incredible people, including Tom Brady and LeBron James. Brady, James, and even Bam Adebayo tweeted about how special A’ja is and how she deserves to be WNBA MVP. But Clark’s comments during an Aces postgame presser were probably the best of the night.
Alysha was asked what makes A’ja such a great teammate off the court, and in a very touching moment, she held back tears as she answered. Here’s part of what she shared with the media (See the tweet and the 4:09 mark of the clip below):
