Tom Brady, LeBron James and the sports world praised A’ja Wilson’s historic WNBA scoring record

LeBron James Tom Brady WNBA Aja Wilson Jewell Loyd Aces Bam Adebayo

A’ja Wilson is on another planet, and Tom Brady, LeBron James and so many other current and former athletes know it.

Not only is A’ja averaging career highs in points, rebounds, steals and blocks, but she leads the league in points and blocks and is second in rebounds and steals. (EXCUSE ME, A’JA WILSON!) Hoops fans are witnessing a GENERATIONAL baller on a GENERATIONAL tear.

On Wednesday, she broke Jewell Loyd’s single-season scoring record that Jewell set just last year (939 points), and she did it in 35 games to Loyd’s 38. That kind of production has never been seen in WNBA history, and she could very likely be well on her way to something else that has never happened — 1000 points in a single season.

Naturally, A’ja’s record-breaking performance got the attention of some big names like Tom Brady, LeBron James and several other sports figures.

Here’s how they congratulated her on her big night:
