A'ja Wilson has played professional basketball for seven seasons, but this current season has marked one of the most monumental of her career; she has set the league's single-season scoring record (the first in WNBA history to top 1,000 points), broken the single-season rebound record, and had the most blocked shots in a season, too. Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces will cap off this impressive season with an appearance in the WNBA playoffs starting on Sunday when they will play the Seattle Storm.
