Miami Heat Legends Makes Bold A’ja Wilson Statement
Dwyane Wade sparked debate this week by asserting that Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson possesses the skill set to defeat certain NBA players in one-on-one matchups. Speaking on “The Underground Lounge” podcast alongside host Lou Williams, Wade pointed to Wilson’s resume as evidence of her elite status and capacity to take on men at basketball’s highest level.
“A’ja Wilson can get a couple,” Wade said. “She is smart. Get into a 1-on-1 with someone like A’ja Wilson, who knows how to play basketball, that’s got crazy footwork and all that, your a** is gonna get tore up if you don’t know the game. This isn’t just about being an athlete. You know what I’m saying? Like, ‘I have jump higher than you.’ That’s not gonna be the thing. So she can definitely cook.”

While Wade did not name any specific players, he thinks A’ja Wilson can beat in the NBA, but he stood firm on his belief that the four-time WNBA MVP can go toe-to-toe with the men in the league.
