In the early hours of July 11th, the WNBA regular season saw a clash of titans as the Aces narrowly defeated the Storm 84-79 on the road. Wilson, the core player of the Aces, erupted for her first career double-20 performance. Facing the formidable frontcourt duo of Ogunmike and Magbegor in this intense battle, Wilson still held the upper hand. Playing for 35 minutes, she shot 7-for-18 from the field and made all 10 free throws, delivering a comprehensive stat line of 24 points, 20 rebounds, 4 blocks, 3 steals, and 2 more blocks. The combined efforts of Ogunmike and Magbegor, two elite post players, amounted to only 19 points and 18 rebounds, thoroughly outmatched by Wilson. Notably, this was Wilson’s first career double-20 performance, the 21st such occurrence in WNBA history, and she became just the second player in WNBA history to record at least 20 points, 20 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 3 steals in a single game. In this season’s WNBA statistical rankings, Wilson reigns supreme, averaging 27 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.7 blocks, and 1.8 steals per game. Among these, her scoring and blocking averages lead the league, while her rebounding average is second-best and her steal tally ranks fifth, truly deserving of her title as the world’s No. 1 women’s basketball player.
