Over the past 8 years, A’ja Wilson has established herself as the undisputed best women’s basketball player in the world. With that comes unprecedented fame and endorsements.

The latter has seen her become the second-ever African American WNBA star to get a Nike signature basketball shoe. The A’One has been a success, and repeated restocks have sold out.

Her exploits at the Paris Olympics and the WNBA continued to keep her at the top, even though others were trying to give her a fight. Then came the 2025 season, and the South Carolina star took her abilities up one notch.

After struggling with her Las Vegas Aces, the 29-year-old took charge and led her team to 16 straight wins. She then continued to lead all players in the postseason and proved time and time over that she was the best at what she does.

A 3rd championship in 4 years, and a WNBA record 4 regular-season MVPs later, the forward was back on the road promoting herself and her brand. One of the shows she was set to attend was The Jennifer Hudson Show. Before bringing the Aces star on, the singer was speaking to a mother and her 4-year-old son.

When the boy claimed he was a Wilson superfan, Hudson brought the 3-time champion. Seeing her, the boy ran into her arms. Then later, while sitting on the couch, the boy professed his love for A’ja Wilson. That melted the WNBA superstar’s heart, and she reciprocated his love.

Fans moved by young fan and A’ja Wilson’s interaction

In an age where sports fans are used to viral and negative news, moments like this tend to melt their hearts. Fans had those reactions when they saw this clip. Some felt the young fan proved he was A’ja Wilson’s biggest fan.

They believe that was a true proclamation of one’s love for an athlete, unlike many others who just want to be seen with them. Then others joked about how Bam Adebayo would feel after the boy professed his love for the Miami Heat star’s girlfriend. Check out examples of those reactions below.

With the growing reach of the WNBA, A’ja Wilson and her peers are enjoying a massive surge in fan following. In this scenario, the 4-time league MVP seemed she could not get enough of who could be her youngest fan.

A’ja Wilson flexes her new Porsche

Long before A’ja Wilson became a Nike signature athlete, she was already one of the highest-paid WNBA players. She had endorsement deals that helped her drive a nice car, something which was rare in the league.

Now, with millions funneling through her deals, the superstar felt the need to upgrade. A clip surfaced showing the 7-time All-Star standing on the door sill of a green car.

As the video panned out, it became clear that she was in the yard of a Porsche dealership and was in her new Macan Turbo electric SUV. Quite the flex for someone who generally does not show off luxury items.
