MVP Periodt and the Queen of Brooklyn are making WNBA headlines.

A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces and Sabrina Ionescu of the New York Liberty have certainly left their mark, both on and off the court. Once rivals in the 2023 WNBA Finals, they have been named Eastern and Western Conference players of the week.

Ionescu has a signature shoe with Nike and debuted the Sabrina 2s last month. Coincidentally, around the same time, Wilson announced her own shoe, the Nike A’One. Set to debut in 2025, Wilson joins Ionescu as one of three active WNBA players with their own signature shoe.

Less than two months into the season Wilson and Ionescu are having significant impacts on their team’s overall performance.

Although Wilson is a two-time WNBA Champion, MVP, and defensive player of the year, she simply still hasn’t forgotten that one fourth-place MVP voter. Rightfully so, she continues to clap back at the doubters through her performance on the hardwood.
