Playing essentially only six players due to injuries to starting point guard Chelsea Gray, starting center Kiah Stokes and Candace Parker, who has been out since July 25, a Game 5 in Vegas appeared inevitable. <\/p>\n<p id=\"LOTZxT\">Then A\u2019ja Wilson got to work. <\/p>\n<div id=\"06bzqW\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">So with 5:05 left in the third quarter, the Aces are down 8, A&#8217;ja Wilson is 4\/11 from the field and she just got blocked pretty bad by Jonquel Jones.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson proceeds to make 7 of her last 10 shots and Vegas wins the title.

She gets blocked by Jonquel Jones, but then hits a jumper to cut the lead to six. She grabs another defensive rebound on a Sabrina Ionescu miss and converts a layup on the other end of the floor. Later in the quarter, she had another offensive outburst, scoring five-consecutive Las Vegas points. The 12-point deficit is erased and the Aces entered the fourth quarter with a two-point edge. <\/p>\n<p id=\"GpgSZe\">This turning point in the game, which led to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swishappeal.com\/wnba\/2023\/10\/19\/23923336\/wnba-finals-las-vegas-aces-new-york-liberty-wilson-young-plum-gray-stewart-jones-ionescu-vandersloot\">70-69<\/a> Las Vegas Aces win, was just a vignette in the myriad of moments where A\u2019ja Wilson demonstrated why she\u2019s not just the MVP of her team, but of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swishappeal.com\/\">WNBA<\/a> Finals\u2014and why so many thought she should\u2019ve been the MVP of the league over Stewart.<\/p>\n<div id=\"jwHnOr\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Back to back <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bPNFRMig39\">pic.twitter.com\/bPNFRMig39<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 A&#8217;ja Wilson (@_ajawilson22) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_ajawilson22\/status\/1714870168608739362?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 19, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"9kdFCH\">At the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/SQsyPCUP3ro?si=znqlNzJ5VQ401HDR\">postgame press conference<\/a> that was filled with<strong> <\/strong>rambunctious energy and \u201cKnuck If You Buck\u201d blasting out of a JBL speaker that Kelsey Plum hoisted on top of her shoulder, Wilson donned a shirt that simply stated \u201cMVPeriodt.\u201d When she spoke, Wilson thanked the critics for the motivation and spoke about the challenges of beating the Liberty on the road. <\/p>\n<p id=\"ZWNBrA\">\u201cWe came back and we kept weathering the storm,\u201d Wilson said postgame. \u201cAnd now we came out on top.\u201d Wilson didn\u2019t directly discuss the MVP chatter, but her teammate Alysha Clark took the opportunity to talk about it. \u201cWhen you have the best player, you\u2019re going to always vouch and fight for them, right&#8230;She\u2019s just been doing what she\u2019s been doing all season,\u201d Clark said. \u201cAnd so to be able to be here on the biggest stage and show up the way she showed up just speaks to who she is as a player, what she means to this team, what she means for this franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"jTvaLo\">Her place in this franchise is more than secured; two titles, a Finals MVP, two regular-season MVPs, five All-Star appearances and room for more. In the biggest game of the season, Wilson finished with game highs in points (24) and rebounds (16) while playing in 39 of a possible 40 minutes. She made the team\u2019s first and last basket of the night, with both shots against Jones in the post. <\/p>\n<p id=\"Up7ECp\">Time will tell if the MVP race of 2023 will be considered a faux-pas by the media or just a tight race with multiple deserving candidates. But one thing is for certain, when the lights were the brightest and the two best teams in the WNBA competed, Wilson eclipsed everyone on the court to ensure her team came out on top.
