A’ja Wilson ended her historic playoff run with a performance for the ages — and a heartwarming moment to match. The Las Vegas Aces superstar capped off her third WNBA championship in four years with a dominant showing in Game 4, leading her team to a 97–86 sweep over the Phoenix Mercury.
Wilson poured in 31 points and nine rebounds, earning Finals MVP honors to complete a dream season that also included the regular-season MVP and Co-Defensive Player of the Year awards. Her all-around dominance solidified what many are calling one of the greatest single seasons in WNBA history.
As the confetti fell, Wilson shared a touching postgame moment with her boyfriend, Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo, who watched from the stands alongside her parents. After celebrating with teammates, Wilson found Adebayo, broke into tears in his arms — and then turned those tears into a joyful dance that quickly went viral on social media.
At just 29 years old, Wilson continues to build a legacy that’s already legendary. With three championships and two Finals MVPs, she’s showing no signs of slowing down — and the Aces will once again be heavy favorites heading into next season.
Wilson and Adebayo’s relationship first sparked rumors during the 2024 Paris Olympics, where both won gold medals for Team USA. Wilson later confirmed their relationship in February, and now, Adebayo is cheering on a three-time WNBA champion — and one of the most decorated athletes in the sport’s history.
