They\u2019re 9-1 in their last ten games, looking healthy and making wins look like routine; the Aces undoubtedly have regained their stride. A\u2019ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young have played at a very high level in the last 10 games, while the leadership of Chelsea Gray continues to be evident on and off the court. The Aces are riding insane momentum going into the incoming Olympic break.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"S6d6Nb\"><strong>A\u2019ja Wilson, Cover Girl<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"e-image\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Washington Mystics v Las Vegas Aces\" data-mask-text=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/vCv3zYTl4kbMMKEIbtJHwfk2ivE=\/400x0\/filters:no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/25532843\/2159969012.jpg\"><br \/>\n      <cite>Photo by David Becker\/NBAE via Getty Images<\/cite><figcaption>A\u2019ja Wilson\u2019s 2024 season has been defined by exceeding high expectations. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"n7c7f4\">Just when you thought the best couldn\u2019t get better, she did. In the past two weeks, Wilson has graced the cover of NBA 2K25, won the ESPY for Best Athlete in Women\u2019s Sports and continued her legendary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swishappeal.com\/\">WNBA<\/a> season by breaking records and barriers, including the Aces franchise record for points on Sunday night. <\/p>\n<div id=\"RGo32u\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Top Tier Cover Girl  \u2728   <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA2K?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NBA2K<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sL9YuDHnaE\">pic.twitter.com\/sL9YuDHnaE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 A&#8217;ja Wilson (@_ajawilson22) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_ajawilson22\/status\/1811161279312318585?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 10, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"iIDs2x\">Wilson is currently leading the W in points and blocks, while ranking second in rebounds and fifth in steals. Heading into the Olympic break, Wilson looks to go gold for the second time as she is representing Team USA in the 2024 Games. This season alone, Wilson has unveiled plans for a signature shoe, appeared on a 2K cover and won an ESPY for being the best in her craft before soon representing her country in the Olympics, maintaining an extremely high chance of winning her third WNBA MVP award and striving to lead the Aces to the first WNBA three-peat since 1999. Talk about exemplifying greatness.<\/p>\n<div id=\"sfhID5\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Standing ovation for A\u2019ja Wilson, the Aces\u2019 new all-time leading scorer. <\/p>\n<p>She had 28 points tonight, overtaking Sophia Young-Malcolm\u2019s previous franchise record of 4,300 points. <\/p>\n<p>Young-Malcom was in attendance for the alumni celebration.

Getting out of a slump with the world on your shoulders is tough, especially when you\u2019re known for nothing short of success. The next big test for the Aces is maintaining their flow and focus when play resumes in August. This isn\u2019t this team\u2019s first rodeo, but that doesn\u2019t mean it makes it any easier. The final push of the season will be extra tough for this squad because every other team in the W will go out of their way to keep the Aces from catching fire and bringing another chip back home. Can Vegas keep it up?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>        Kelsey Plum (#10) and A\u2019ja Wilson (#22) of the Las Vegas Aces. | Photo by Steph Chambers\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>  The ESPY for Best Athlete in Women\u2019s Sports.
