A'ja Wilson celebrated the Las Vegas Aces' second consecutive WNBA championship on Monday's parade, and she took this opportunity to one last time remind everyone about how she was snubbed from 2023 MVP title by wearing the receipts on her back.
Wilson wore a shirt that had the voting breakdown printed in the back in big black numbers, including the one vote she got for fourth place.

The Aces became just the third team in WNBA history to win back-to-back titles after taking down the New York Liberty 3-1 in the Finals series. Wilson was a huge key to success for the team, as she averaged a double-double of 23.8 points and 11.8 rebounds in the playoffs. She did earn the 2023 Finals MVP award, but missing out on the season MVP recognition felt wrong to her and the rest of her team.
The fourth-place vote is still a mystery. Alysha Clark event tried to get answers during their finals postgame press conference to no avail. Meanwhile, head coach Becky Hammon described that vote was "a joke."
Wilson wasn't particularly happy with it either, but she decided to thank the person who voted her fourth during the parade.
"Whoever you are out there that voted me fourth, thank you. Thank you so much," she said on stage. "I want to say I appreciate you because that just means that I got a lot more work to do. We are coming back, we are coming back, baby. We are going to do this shit again."
