“When it’s all said and done, she’ll be the biggest one to ever do it,” ACE’s head coach Becky Hammon told ESPN. “Four [MVPs] already says she is. In a league that has continued to get much better, she is still getting better. “
This season, the Wilson League led to points (23.4 per game) and blocks (2.3), while there were also an average of 10.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists. She was also named Co-Defensive Player of the Year with Lynx star Alanna Smith.
“You see poetry in motion. You see the story,” Hammon said. “And she’s just 29 years old. She could win four more of these when she’s done.”
