A'ja Wilson celebrates her 30th birthday on Saturday as the Las Vegas Aces face the Minnesota Lynx at 1 p.m. ET on CBS. With an impressive career already boasting four WNBA MVP awards and three championships, the discussion around her potential GOAT (Greatest of All Time) status intensifies with this milestone.

Currently, Diana Taurasi, the league's all-time leading scorer, remains a prominent figure in the GOAT conversation. However, Wilson's achievements position her as a top contender:

• Four-time MVP (most in WNBA history)
• Three-time Defensive Player of the Year (tied for third)
• Eight-time All-Star (tied for seventh)
• Two-time scoring champion
• Five-time blocks leader

In a candid moment during the All-Star weekend, Wilson revealed her motivation, stating, "My haters. I really do love proving people wrong." This drive has propelled her performance, making her a formidable force on the court.

Wilson's accolades include:

• Most MVP awards in WNBA history
• Top career scoring average at 21.9 points per game
• Ranked sixth for career blocks with 591

As she approaches her 30s, Wilson seeks a fourth championship title, which would tie her with legends like Cynthia Cooper and Maya Moore.

Her record before turning 30 is remarkable:

• 6,491 points (most in WNBA history before 30)
• 8 All-Star appearances (most before 30)
• 4 MVPs (most before 30)

Comparatively, other GOAT candidates like Taurasi, Lisa Leslie, and Maya Moore achieved their milestones later in their careers. Wilson's ongoing excellence and potential for longevity could solidify her legacy as the WNBA's GOAT.
