NEW HAVEN, Connecticut A’ja Wilson intends to go all-out for the parade in Las Vegas honoring her Aces’ 2022 WNBA championship.
She also makes a strong effort to get supporters that are as enthusiastic as she is.
Defensive Player of the Year and the 2022 WNBA MVP urged individuals who intended to attend Tuesday’s parade in Las Vegas to “take four shots” in advance of the events. Kids, she continued, might “take shots of ginger ale.”
Wilson emphasized by raising her fist to the table in front of her and said, “You have take four shots before you drive up to the parade.” And please drink sensibly!
But you have to be four shots in to be in the procession, she continued. “If you are not, it is unacceptable.”
Chelsea Gray, the WNBA Finals MVP, who was sat next to Wilson on the dais, let out a startled but amused “WHAT?!” and buried her head in her hands at that time.
Wilson nonetheless went on to deliver her message:

“So Vegas turn up!” Wilson continued. I saw the police vehicle had our insignia on it. You best fasten your seatbelts because we’re going to lose it!
She added, at the request of her team’s head of media relations, “Tuesday 5:30 p.m. Pacific Time!” “Go there or go home,”
The others in the room believed Wilson had finished speaking at that moment. Wilson’s statement, however, took a surprising and rather unexpected turn as she reiterated her views that anybody who hasn’t had four shots should “remain at the home!” and that kids should “pop ginger ale.”
Gray attempted to seize the microphone, but Wilson rebuked him, saying, “Drink responsibly — don’t be crazy now.” But Usher, I had best come visit you!
She said, “I’m not playing with you, Usher. “Usher, I better come visit you.”
The R&B performer started his My Way Las Vegas residency this summer; he is presently taking a month off but will return next month.
“Come on everyone to the city!” Even when the moderator switched to the next question, Wilson continued. Drake yells, “Everyone!
