If there was any doubt that Las Vegas Aces superstar A’Ja Wilson was the best player in the WNBA, her performance on Tuesday night did plenty to support the idea.
Wilson dropped 53 points on the Atlanta Dream, which tied the WNBA single-game scoring record held by Liz Cambage for a Dallas Wings game in 2018.
It was a remarkable achievement for Wilson as she became only the third player in WNBA history to score more than 50 points in a game.
She’s the reigning MVP winner in the WNBA, and with a performance like this, she may well just repeat once the award is given out again this season.

Wilson’s performance was quite literally one for the record books, and WNBA fans know how special it is that they get to watch an all-time athlete like Wilson operating in her prime like this.
We won’t be surprised if Wilson has another career night like this one day.
