OutKick's Craig Carton calls WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson's acceptance speech comments a "bold-faced lie"
Welp.
Las Vegas Aces superstar A'ja Wilson has, once again, put her foot in her mouth.
The now 5-time MVP made some controversial comments regarding her upbringing during her acceptance speech of her latest award.
During Friday's Craig Carton Show, Carton took exception to Wilson stating, "15-year-old A'ja wasn't sitting up here dreaming about being a 5-time MVP.
She wasn't dreaming about being a 3-time champion.
She was dreaming about surviving this world." "It's a bold-faced lie," Carton stated.
A'JA WILSON WINS RECORD FIFTH MVP AS FIRST THREE-PEAT IN WNBA HISTORY STRENGTHENS ALL-TIME GREATNESS CASE "You went to Heathwood Hall [Episcopal School]," Carton continued.
"That's a private school, Clarence." To add a little background to Carton's comments, if you were to put your child through Heathwood from first grade through high school today, it would cost almost $260,000.
That's how braindead and tone deaf these comments by Wilson really are.
"Why is A'ja Wilson cosplaying like she grew up in the streets of South Carolina? Or Poor? Or Disenfranchised? Or without a mom and a dad there to raise her without love?," Carton asked.
"The exact opposite is actually true," Carton said.
Those are the facts.
Wilson grew up having a fairly privileged life in a stable home with her mother, Eva Rakes Wilson, and her father, Roscoe C.
Wilson Jr., who was a former professional basketball player in Europe.
