You Can Argue With a Wall": Dawn Staley Makes Strong MVP Case for A'ja Wilson Over Kelsey Mitchell and Olivia Miles

A’ja Wilson’s MVP case got a major boost from former coach Dawn Staley, who publicly argued the Las Vegas Aces center should be the league’s top player. With the Aces needing wins in their final two games to secure the No. 3 seed, Wilson is averaging 26.2 points and 2.0 blocks per game while ranking among the top five in rebounds (9.3). Staley, speaking via CBS Sports, said “You can argue with a wall” and called Wilson the MVP, while also praising Kelsey Mitchell and rookie Olivia Miles. Wilson also made history on Sunday by becoming the first WNBA player to record multiple 1,000-point seasons, scoring 30 points in a 98–77 win over Seattle.
