She’s been almost unstoppable on the court. Now, former South Carolina women’s basketball great A’ja Wilson is being recognized for her power off it.
Bleacher Report Magazine released its list of the 50 most influential people in sports culture for 2018 on Monday, and Wilson, now a WNBA All-Star with the Las Vegas Aces, made the cut alongside some of the world’s greatest athletes.
Included under the list’s section of those who have “leveled up,” Wilson was included alongside soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, Olympic gold medalist Chloe Kim, two-way MLB phenom Shohei Ohtani and NBA All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo, among others.
