And I feel like every year, Bron constantly showed you and showed people why you will never put him in a box.”
Wilson further mentioned, “So I feel like when people compare me to him when it comes to our league, I feel like that is what I see. Not necessarily the style of play, but just more so of like when people see me, and they see me play, they see someone that has put a lot of passion into the game. But also, I never lose sight of the fun. Like, it is a game at the end of the day. And then obviously, if you’re compared to LeBron James, you’re doing something right.”A’ja Wilson even revealed that LeBron James is a big fan of hers.
