A’ja Wilson crowned Paris 2024 MVP to headline All-Star Five

PARIS (France) – It was a double celebration for A’ja Wilson after the USA forward added to the second Olympic gold medal of her career by taking MVP honors at the Women’s Olympic Basketball Tournament Paris 2024.

Wilson showed why she is one of the biggest stars in the global game with another exceptional campaign. She was a dominant force in the Final, putting up 21 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 blocks in the Gold Medal Game.

Throughout the competition, she averaged 18.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals, and 2.7 blocks per game while shooting 59.2 percent from the floor. That contributed to an amazing 25.7 performance efficiency valuation.
Breanna Stewart joined her USA colleague in the All-Star Five having also been on fire throughout USA’s latest golden campaign. The forward was unstoppable at times en-route to the Final and eventually averaged a 20.3 performance valuation, 16.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.7 blocks per outing while shooting 56.7 percent.

Gabby Williams was the inspiration behind France and their run to a dream Final on home soil. The forward added to her silver medal with the Best Defensive Player award and an All-Star Five berth after harvesting 18.8 in efficiency, 15.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game.

Alanna Smith helped Australia collect the bronze medal and posted her best-ever campaign in an Opals’ jersey with some super displays. This eventually produced 15.8 efficiency, 11.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists per outing.

Emma Meesseman was a tour de force as usual for Belgium as they attained their best-ever finish at the Games with fourth place. The forward averaged some incredible numbers with an efficiency of 28.5 from 23.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.5 blocks per game.
