A’ja Wilson Is Ready for Her WNBA Takeover

t’s like the pickle on a Chick-fil-A sandwich—you never know where it is.cheap nfl nike jerseys china

The pickle, according to A’ja Wilson, is Crime Mob’s “Knuck If You Buck”; the Chick-fil-A sandwich, her pregame ritual. Wilson listens to the Southern rap classic every time she steps on the hardwood, but only via a pump-up playlist on shuffle—that way, it’s a surprise every time. She leans forward confidentially while explaining her affection for the song, tucking her feet (she’s wearing Birkenstocks with pink and green Alpha Kappa Alpha socks, a nod to her college sorority) below her.nfl jerseys nike cheap

“When I hear it, I’m like, ‘It’s time to go! It’s game day!'” Wilson says, executing a couple of shoulder rolls in her warm-ups after practice in Albany, New York.cheap nike nfl jerseys china 637b7f8fe5a92733f8d4d54e035f5065_crop_exact

The Atlanta rap group recorded “Knuck If You Buck” about a three-hour drive from Columbia, South Carolina, the town that turned Wilson from basketball agnostic to No. 1 high school recruit to one of the best women’s college players in the country—and it’s been her soundtrack all the way through. A video of her lip-syncing, snapping and milly rocking to the song went viral just after Wilson led her South Carolina Gamecocks to their third consecutive SEC tournament victory in 2017.nike nfl jerseys cheap paypal

Her only ad-lib to the NSFW lyrics? “I wish a hater would get crunk up on this Gamecock crew.”

“Her whole personality came out in that rap. It had a little coolness to it, a little ratchetness to it, but at the end [of the video], you just hear her laugh uncontrollably,” says South Carolina coach Dawn Staley. “It’s just so her. She made me want to learn the words.”

It’s this side of Wilson that might be her biggest asset as she enters the WNBA as the consensus No. 1 buy nike nfl jerseys cheap draft pick. Sure, she averaged a double-double, finishing her season in the top 10 in the country in points with a list of achievements that requires five pages of minuscule type in the South Carolina media guide—and most recently, Wilson swept all seven national player of the year awards.
