Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James couldn't be any prouder after seeing A'ja Wilson win the 2022 WNBA MVP award.
The Las Vegas Aces star took home the honor on Wednesday after leading the team to the best record in the Western Conference (and joint top in the whole WNBA). She is the seventh player in league history to win the award multiple times, which is a massive achievement by its own right.
Wilson first won WNBA MVP in 2020. Even better, she is also only the fifth player in the league to win Defensive Player of the Year and MVP in the same season ever.
James, for his part, took to Instagram to show his love for Wilson and congratulate her for the incredible achievement. The Lakers star uploaded a tribute photo for Wilson and captioned it with, “DAMN RIGHT!!!!! CONGRATS SIS!!!”
