COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - In the last moments of her speech presented to a very limited crowd due to the pandemic, former South Carolina and current WNBA superstar A’ja Wilson became very emotional just outside the Colonial Life Arena where she had provided the bulk of her amazing play.
Wilson, preparing for her fourth season with the Las Vegas Aces as the league’s reigning MVP was the guest of honor at Monday’s official christening of a statue of her likeness that honors her play off the court and representation of the university and athletics program away from competition.
