Las Vegas Aces superstar and former South Carolina Gamecock A’ja Wilson added another remarkable achievement to her Hall of Fame-caliber career, becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 6,000 career points.
Wilson reached the milestone during the Aces’ 101-91 victory over the Seattle Storm, accomplishing the feat in just 278 career games. In doing so, she shattered the previous record of 291 games held by WNBA legend Diana Taurasi.
The four-time WNBA MVP delivered a dominant performance worthy of the historic night, finishing with 34 points, 12 rebounds, nine assists, and three blocks. She crossed the 6,000-point mark in the fourth quarter, sending the home crowd into celebration as fans rose to their feet to honor one of the league’s greatest players.
Wilson’s latest accomplishment further strengthens her legacy as one of the most dominant forces the WNBA has ever seen. Already a multiple-time champion, MVP, Finals MVP, and Defensive Player of the Year, she continues to rewrite the record books while remaining in the prime of her career.
What makes the milestone even more impressive is the pace at which Wilson scored those points. Reaching 6,000 career points in only 278 games highlights her unmatched consistency, efficiency, and scoring dominance since entering the league as the No. 1 overall pick in 2018.
For Aces fans and Gamecock supporters alike, the historic moment serves as another reminder that A’ja Wilson is not just one of the best players of her generation—she is firmly establishing herself among the greatest players in WNBA history.
