Wave Originals
About this episode

WNBA Champion & Two-Time MVP A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces joins Paul George and his co-hosts Jackie Long and Dallas Rutherford to discuss when the WNBA first became a reality for her (4:52). A’ja explains why she decided to attend the University of South Carolina, what her relationship with Dawn Staley is like, and how much it means to have a statue of herself on campus (9:30). We find out which of A’ja’s accolades means the most to her and why she’s striving to become one of the GOATs in the WNBA (12:11). Then A’ja and PG break down the rumors of LeBron James’ retirement, why Carmelo Anthony was a walking bucket, and why the media continues to underrate Nikola Jokic (26:13). Finally, PG and A’ja draft their Starting Five WNBA GOATs team (51:23).
