[Iko] A’ja Wilson: “I’ve always admired KD. He always shows love when it comes to the women’s game. So to be here and witness [passing Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list] — even though it’s against my boyfriend — it was heartbreaking in that sense, but it’s a beautiful thing.”
“I’ve always admired KD,” Aces forward A’ja Wilson, who was also in attendance when Bam Adebayo recently made NBA history with an 83-point game, told Yahoo Sports. “Obviously I’m here for the Heat, but admire his work ethic. He always shows love to our side of the basketball when it comes to the women’s game. So to be here and witness the buckets — even though it’s against my boyfriend — it was heartbreaking in that sense, but it’s a beautiful thing. Kevin has given so much to this game and it was just a matter of time for him to continue to climb.”
