A'ja Wilson has etched her name in the WNBA history books once again, becoming the first player to score 1,000 points in a single season. During a thrilling home game against the Connecticut Sun, the Las Vegas Aces star hit the milestone with a clutch fadeaway jumper in the final minutes, sealing an 84-71 win for her team.

The record-breaking feat came just days after Wilson set a new single-season points record, surpassing Jewell Loyd’s 939-point tally in a showdown against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever.

His legacy as a rapper with a basketball background remains iconic.

Other artists, like J. Cole and 2 Chainz, also highlight the seamless connection between hip-hop and the sport.
