While it's easy for new fans of the game to assume A'ja Wilson has always been in the GOAT conversation, the reality is that the climb was anything but easy.

But knowing that backstory makes her game winner on Wednesday all the more meaningful.

What does the WNBA's labor fight look like to someone that has intimate knowledge about how it all works?

On this week's Ball Up Top, Andrew is joined by former NBPA Executive Director Tamika Tremaglio to discuss a CBA negotiation for the ages.

Tamika Tremaglio helped lead the negotiations for the NBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement in 2023 and advised on the WNBA's CBA in 2020. So what are her thoughts on the W's labor battle?

I feel like a broken record but Andrew absolutely cooked

No Cap Space WBB @nocapspacewbb.com · 7d

On October 8th, 2021, A’ja Wilson was blocked by Brittney Griner with a series on the line.

Four years to the day, the Aces superstar elevated over Alyssa Thomas to get Vegas within one win of a title.

A proper payoff for a hero’s journey, @aghaubner.bsky.social writes.

There's no question about it now. One win away from a third WNBA title in four years and on the heels of a Game Three game winning jumper, A'ja Wilson is officially the undisputed best in the world.
