LAS VEGAS — A’ja Wilson found the cameras. After the Aces forward, her teammates and coaches all received their championship rings for winning the 2022 WNBA Finals and the banner commemorating their accomplishment was unveiled Saturday night, she turned to the media gathered to capture the ceremony and flashed her ring with her pinky pointed toward her teeth.
Wilson then flipped her hand forward to put the ring in clearer view, started to stroll closer to the congregation of cameras nestled near half court and struck a few more poses. Satisfied with her solo shots, she waved her teammates over to join in.
The two-time WNBA MVP squatted, rested her chin in her hand and kicked off the group photoshoot as her teammates took their places around her, adjusted their rings and leaned in close to one another. As they let the celebration soak in alongside owner Mark Davis and the championship trophy, music blared in the background and the roaring fans cheered on.
“We blinging!” Wilson…
