\"A'ja<\/p>\n

The\u00a0\u00a0is having a record-breaking season across the board, and it started as early as the opening month.<\/p>\n

May was the league’s highest-attended opening month in 26 years and set the all-time record for viewership.<\/p>\n

Rookies\u00a0Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark\u00a0have surpassed multiple marks. Reese, whose season ended early after a wrist injury,\u00a0set records\u00a0for consecutive games with a double-double (15) and single-season rebounding average (13.1), among a slew of others.<\/p>\n

Clark has set the records for most assists in a single season, most assists in a single game (19), the fastest player to reach 350 points and 150 assists in a season and\u00a0several WNBA rookie records\u00a0with two games left to play.<\/p>\n

But neither player has\u00a0approached the dominance of\u00a0Las Vegas Aces<\/span>\u00a0center A’ja Wilson. The two-time \u2014 about to be three-time \u2014 league MVP is about to accomplish something only\u00a0NBA<\/span>\u00a0legend Wilt Chamberlain, perhaps the most unstoppable player in the game’s history, has ever done.<\/p>\n

A’ja Wilson Will Set Two Significant WNBA Records<\/h2>\n

The Aces center will break scoring, rebounding marks<\/h3>\n

    Chamberlain holds the NBA record for most total rebounds in a single season when he pulled down 2,149 in 1960-61. The 1961-62 campaign is when he really ran through the league, though, as he scored the most points ever in a single season with 4,029 and also led the league in rebounding with 2,052.<\/p>\n

    Reese is about to do something similar; arguably even more remarkable than anything Chamberlain ever accomplished.<\/p>\n

    The 28-year-old has already broken the record for most points scored in a single season and extended it after scoring 29 in a win against the\u00a0\u00a0on Sept. 15. She also grabbed nine rebounds in the win, putting her just two shy of tying Reese’s single-season record.<\/p>\n

    Wilson, who’s averaging 9.9 rebounds per game this season, should break that record on Sept. 17 against the\u00a0\u00a0.<\/p>\n

    She’s also setting records in\u00a0several other\u00a0areas:<\/p>\n
