The WNBA just dropped its 2025 All-WNBA Teams, and let’s just say, the future of women’s basketball is brighter than ever. A'ja Wilson, Paige Bueckers, and Napheesa Collier are leading the charge, but it’s not just their names that are making waves—it’s the stories behind their dominance that are truly captivating. Fresh off securing her record-breaking fourth MVP title, Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson has now earned her sixth All-WNBA selection, solidifying her status as one of the league’s all-time greats. But here’s where it gets even more impressive: Wilson didn’t just stop at MVP—she also snagged her second Defensive Player of the Year award, sharing the honor with Minnesota Lynx’s Alanna Smith. Talk about a double threat!
Joining Wilson on the 2025 All-WNBA First Team are the other MVP finalists: Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier, Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas, Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell, and Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray. Each of these players brought their A-game this season, but their journeys to the top are as unique as their skill sets. Collier, for instance, finished as the MVP runner-up for the second straight year, proving once again that she’s a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the court. Meanwhile, Thomas continued her reign as one of the league’s most consistent playmakers, averaging a staggering 9.2 assists per game in her first season with the Mercury—a move that helped Phoenix jump from a 19-21 record to a solid 27-17.
And this is the part most people miss: the Second Team is just as stacked. Headlined by Dallas Wings guard and 2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year Paige Bueckers, this squad features veterans like Sabrina Ionescu (New York Liberty), Jackie Young (Las Vegas Aces), Aliyah Boston (Indiana Fever), and Nneka Ogwumike (Seattle Storm). Bueckers, in particular, has been turning heads with her seamless transition from college phenom to WNBA standout. But here’s the controversial question: Is Bueckers already on track to challenge Wilson’s dominance in the coming years? Let’s just say the debate is heating up.
Wilson’s historic season deserves a closer look. During the Aces’ 16-game winning streak, she averaged a jaw-dropping 26.1 points, 12 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game. That kind of performance doesn’t just win games—it cements legacies. But it’s not just about the stats; it’s about the impact. Wilson’s leadership and relentless drive have transformed the Aces into a dynasty. Here’s the bold take: If Wilson keeps this up, she might just become the undisputed GOAT of the WNBA. Agree or disagree? Let’s hear it in the comments.
Collier, meanwhile, continues to fly under the radar as one of the league’s most complete players. At 29, she’s averaging 22.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.6 steals, and 1.5 blocks per game, all while shooting a career-best 40.3% from three-point range. Her two-way prowess is unmatched, yet she’s still chasing that elusive MVP title. Is the league sleeping on Collier, or is Wilson simply in a league of her own? It’s a question that sparks heated debates among fans.
As we celebrate these incredible athletes, one thing is clear: the WNBA is thriving, and its stars are rewriting the record books. But here’s the final thought: With young talents like Bueckers rising and veterans like Wilson and Collier still dominating, who will emerge as the face of the league in the years to come? The floor is open—share your predictions below!
