- A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces won her third MVP award in 2024.
- No player has won four MVP awards in WNBA history.
Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson became just the second unanimous WNBA MVP in league history after a dominant 2024 campaign.
Wilson received all 67 first-place votes, making her the only unanimous MVP, along with Cynthia Cooper of the Houston Comets. Cooper accomplished this feat during the league’s inaugural 1997 season.
The MVP award marks Wilson’s third such trophy in her career, making her the fourth player in WNBA history to reach that milestone. Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, and Lauren Jackson are the only other three-time MVP winners in league history.
Wilson broke the record for scoring average this season, posting 26.9 points per game to go along with 11.9 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, 2.3 assists, and 1.8 steals per contest. The 6-foot-4 center was the betting favorite at the BetMGM online sportsbook throughout the 2024 season.
Now, Wilson opens as the WNBA odds favorite to make history with a fourth MVP trophy in 2025.

WNBA MVP Odds 2025: Will Wilson Repeat?
No WNBA player has ever won four MVP awards, but Wilson has established herself as the best player in the league.
After finishing third in MVP voting last year, Wilson admitted she used that as motivation for one of the best individual seasons we have ever seen. She’s also only 28 years old, meaning this is supposed to be her prime years.
Wilson begins as a WNBA betting odds favorite (+200) to win the 2025 MVP award, but she might not be as much of a lock this time around.
The Aces underwhelmed in 2024, finishing fourth in the league standings after back-to-back championship runs. She carried the Aces for much of the season.
Typically, this award has gone to the best player on the best team. Brenna Stewart (2023) and Wilson are actually the only MVP winners since 2016 not to play for the best regular-season team in the league.
I’ll need the Aces to return to form next summer before investing in Wilson’s short MVP prices.
