Would a fifth 2026 MVP make A’ja Wilson the undisputed WNBA GOAT?

A’ja Wilson is leading the WNBA at 26 points per game and, per SwishAppeal’s 2026 awards preview, is ‘all but guaranteed’ to claim a fifth MVP no player has ever won — while the Aces chase a fourth title in five years and the playoffs open the door to a three-peat. Supporters call the case closed: five MVPs plus three rings, multiple DPOYs, scoring titles, and a prime that has already outlasted every previous one add up to a GOAT no counting stat can dispute. Skeptics counter that Sue Bird’s four titles across 20 seasons, Diana Taurasi’s all-time scoring crown, and Wilson’s comparatively lighter college resume mean voting hardware alone shouldn’t settle the greatest-ever debate.
