Despite a slow start to the 2025 WNBA season, the Las Vegas Aces are showing why they\u2019ve been a powerhouse over the past five years. Led by reigning MVP A\u2019ja Wilson, the Aces have now strung together 16 consecutive wins. Aces head coach Becky Hammon has imprinted her mindset, which is evident in their production on the court. However, Wilson seems to have picked up on some of other Hammon\u2019s habits lately.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s easy to allow frustration to take over when things aren\u2019t going right. The Las Vegas Aces<\/a><\/strong> began the season 14-14. That amount of losses marked the most in the franchise\u2019s history since their inaugural season in Las Vegas. The standard within that organization is excellence; something that was not being reflected in their performances.<\/p>\n Regardless, A\u2019ja Wilson<\/a><\/strong> understood her role as a leader. After the Aces\u2019 sixth straight win on August 15, Wilson addressed the media in her typical candid fashion. The three-time WNBA<\/a><\/strong> MVP spoke on how she has been able to maintain composure. In the middle of her response, she used an analogy which caught everyone off guard.<\/p>\n \u201cI told myself after the All-Star break to just let the game come to me,\u201d Wilson said<\/a><\/strong> to the media. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be what it\u2019s going to be. If I try to harp and force it because I want this win so bad for my team, it\u2019s like forcing a fart and all you get is s***.\u201d<\/p>\n The WNBA world couldn\u2019t believe the extremes of Wilson\u2019s analogy. Her teammate, Chelsea Gray, who was beside her during the post-game presser, proclaimed, \u201cThat\u2019s going to go viral.\u201d She was right.<\/p>\n In a recent appearance on ESPN\u2019s\u00a0NBA Today,\u00a0Malika Andrews brought up the infamous moment with Wilson. The Aces star couldn\u2019t help but break out into laughter. For those wondering how Wilson was so quick on her feet with that analogy, she proceeded to enlighten the panel.<\/p>\n
