I am so glad you said the thing about players who have to play overseas being forgotten about. My daughter plays overseas now because of her college choice but I feel she is definitely a wnba caliber player. Im her mom and her biggest critic (and fan...not gonna lie) but stats don't lie. Love this interview

[@ShowtimeDPodcast]

I actually saw her at my job at target in jersey but i was so shy to ask for a pic 3 times😭

[@Yes_Sir420]

People that hate on WNBA basketball still gotta appreciate the greatness Aja Wilson brings to the game. If you love basketball you’ll know that Aja is a GOAT.

[@amymcfarlane2674]

Thank you both for being one of few podcasts who bring WNBA players on.

[@kaylee42900]

It seems like NBA players love the wnba and recognize game. KG knows his shit, Paul George has WNBA players on the pod, same with JJ. Charles and Ernie talk wnba on the steam room as well.

[@Fatboy53]

Amen thank you

[@oaklandsoldier8520]

Oh yeah. This podcast has definitely changed the game by bringing on greatness regardless of gender and the league

[@ryanbunn7335]

You should check out knuckle heads podcasts they have wnba ladies on all the time

[@openmike4559]

@@v0liumonly you noticed. Congrats

[@kaithecreatorrr]

There is NO other player in the W that is on A'ja's level right now. They barely touched on it but I would've loved for them to talk more about Game 4 in the '23 Finals. A'ja was locked tf in and the entire team was locked in with her. On the road, just lost Game 3, down two starters, and they clutched up! The best part is that she's only going to get better. I can't wait to watch next season. Go Aces!

[@vincet4410]

Definitely one of the best episodes to date. A'ja's character is so humble, powerful, and authentic. The sky is the limit for her! Crazy she does not have her own shoe already. Nike, Adidas, UA, and others need to wake up. 🔥🔥🔥More rings coming for the Aces!

[@michellesmith9522]

But they’re saying nobody has talked about this before 😂

[@CarlosLopera-ck5rl]

Heyy boo u 2 cute 2 be cursing 🤬 like that

[@BIG_BLACK_HERO]

Setting up a resume to be the greatest wnba player of all time! Keep reaching higher and higher

[@Fatboy53]

Dad “I didn’t birth you to just sit here” mad props to this player and her Dad. That’s FAM 101 made me smile need more of that in today’s world. Show is better with a woman on it guys loved this interview. A’ja is magical and honest luv her

[@Richyay]

A’ja will go down as one of the greatest players to play the game !!

[@SupermanHopkins]

Aja Wilson is a monster! 🐐

[@michaelthomas1087]

Damn sucks that this was a short interview love seeing the WNBA players on here getting acknowledged

[@joyrichardson9794]

Love me some Aja, so relatable!

[@tiffanybell4412]

A'ja is truly the goat! Thank you for your contributions both on and off the court. Your legacy will be great because of your intentionality, your beautiful spirit, and your relentless drive to continuously set the bar! You deserve all your flowers, queen. Thank you for being such a great role model and instilling in our generation that anything is attainable to achieve. 🎉👑

[@LouSeph]

If they can three-peat it’s the greatest WNBA dynasty since the Comets.

[@takeoverusa]

A'ja Wilson you are appreciated and congratulations on everything and future success coming your way. God Bless 👑

[@gabriel_the_salubri]

I'm always impressed with how A'ja engages with the media. Always well spoken... She thinks and answers through the question(s) and never displays anything but class... Even when she's showing out. #LeoEnergy

[@pua_ching]

One of the most authentic and truest interviews I’ve seen. The way she speaks, thinks and the personality she encompasses truly makes her a beautiful person.

[@poloregal]

South Carolina in the house. 803 to be EXACT

[@RJPWritez]

This was a great interview! Aja Wilson is always fun to listen to. Her star is only going to get brighter! And I totally agree with her about storytelling! The more stories we highlight the more these women’s name and brand grow the better for the league it will be!

[@Bluefield93]

Aja’s the definition of a girl boss. She and the Aces are doing something special

[@kennethbrooks8505]

Great interview. And OMG! She is stunningly beautiful!

In 2022 I would’ve said Stewie was the best in the league rn but there’s no question now this woman right here. Top two and not the 2

[@ladydavis1658]

Great interview ❤

[@brandygates6583]

I’m so late to discovering you all’s podcast but it along with the PIVOT are my favorites. I’ve been binge watching your episodes. I would love to see more women professional athletes as guests. This interview was so dope and I can’t wait to see and hear more of them. The double standards that women face in the same basketball game as men is down right ridiculous. Congratulations A’ja on all of your accomplishments. I bought a few tickets to see the Gamecocks in person and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m a graduate of La Tech Univeristy

[@figo007tv]

They Need to tap into soccer players. Salute to you
