Lexie Brown has made her stance clear: voter fatigue shouldn’t stand in the way of greatness. In a recent interview, the Los Angeles Sparks guard voiced her frustration over how MVP voting trends could impact A’ja Wilson’s chances this season. “We always relay A’ja [Wilson] to Jokic. Our voters get voter fatigue. … I think that’s dumb. If A’ja wins MVP this year, she will be the first player in WNBA history to be a four-time WNBA MVP,” Lexie Brown said.
The comparison to Nikola Jokic is timely. Jokic, despite posting historic numbers, faced skepticism during his third MVP campaign due to repeated wins. Lexie Brown believes Wilson is facing the same uphill battle—not because of performance, but because voters want something new.
Wilson’s stats back up her case. She’s averaging 20.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game, anchoring the Las Vegas Aces on both ends of the floor. Her consistency and leadership have kept the team at the top of the standings.
Lexie Brown’s comments reflect a broader concern in sports: how narratives can overshadow results. She’s not alone in this view. Analysts have pointed out that MVP voting often shifts based on storylines rather than sustained excellence.
All Lexie Brown is asking is about fairness. The award is just one aspect. She’s calling out a pattern that could deny one of the league’s best players her rightful place in history.
And she’s not backing down.
