'Be amazed by that now:' A'ja Wilson's greatness on display as Aces chase three WNBA championships

A’ja Wilson’s greatness has been on full display this season as the Las Vegas Aces pursue a historic WNBA three-peat.

With a regular season performance that has shattered records and left fans and coaches alike in awe, Wilson has solidified her place as one of the most dominant forces in the league's history.

In a season that saw her lead the league in points, rebounds, and blocks, Wilson has etched her name in the annals of basketball history. Her 1,021 points, 451 rebounds, and 98 blocks stand as a testament to her unparalleled skill and athleticism.

This level of dominance is so rare that it has never been achieved in the NBA, making Wilson's accomplishments all the more remarkable.

Not only has Wilson excelled on the court, but she has also shouldered the responsibility of representing the U.S. women’s basketball team at the Olympics, extending their gold-medal streak to an eighth consecutive victory.

Her dedication to both her national team and the Aces exemplifies her unwavering commitment to the sport.

As the Aces gear up for their postseason campaign, Wilson's teammates and coaches are urging fans to appreciate her greatness in real-time. Alysha Clark, a teammate of Wilson's, emphasized the importance of savoring her accomplishments while she is still actively competing. "When you have players of this caliber that are playing now, appreciate that," said Clark. "

Because one day she’s not going to be here. She’s going to retire and go on and live her life, and people are going to marvel at what she’s done. Marvel at it now."

Even third-year coach Becky Hammon, who has spent years immersed in the world of basketball, finds herself at a loss for comparisons when trying to contextualize Wilson's skill set.

Her unparalleled abilities on the court leave even seasoned professionals like Hammon in awe. "I mean, I have two eyes," Hammon said with a laugh. "But then it’s on to the next play. You can’t sit there and linger in the greatness."

Despite her individual brilliance, Wilson remains focused on pushing herself to new heights. She remains driven by a desire to continuously improve and elevate her game.

"I don’t even feel like I’ve tapped into that zone (yet) where I’m like, oh, this is some next level (stuff). I still feel like I have more," she told USA TODAY Sports.

Wilson's journey to greatness began during her time at South Carolina, where she played a pivotal role in establishing the foundation for the university's women's basketball program.

Under the guidance of coach Dawn Staley, Wilson was constantly challenged to stand out on every play. Staley's words continue to resonate with Wilson, propelling her to strive for excellence in every aspect of her game.

As the postseason unfolds and the Aces embark on their quest for a three-peat, all eyes will be on A’ja Wilson. Her remarkable season has set the stage for a postseason filled with anticipation and excitement.

With her sights set on back-to-back unanimous MVP titles, Wilson's determination and drive are undeniable.

In a league where greatness is often fleeting, A’ja Wilson's legacy is one that will be remembered for years to come. Fans and basketball enthusiasts alike are witnessing a once-in-a-generation talent who continues to push the boundaries of what is possible on the court.

As the Aces pursue history, Wilson's greatness remains a beacon of inspiration and a reminder that true excellence is not to be missed.
