The award comes after the five-time All-Star completed third within the voting for this season’s WNBA MVP, which was received by Breanna Stewart of the Liberty.
The Aces are the primary workforce in 21 years to win back-to-back championships, with the Los Angeles Sparks final attaining this in 2001 and 2002. That is Wilson’s first WNBA Finals MVP as she continues to solidify herself as one of many WNBA greats.
