A'ja Wilson Drops 'Very Lonely' Admission About WNBA Career

The days haven't always been sunny for Wilson, though. In fact, the two-time WNBA champion recently admitted in a tell-all interview that it does get lonely at the top.

“Everyone talks about not wanting to fail, but it’s kind of like you also have to be scared of success,” Wilson told Andrea Stanley of Marie Claire. “On the success end, it’s very lonely.

"You’re very by yourself because it takes a lot of hard work and consistency to get up there. So you may be up there by yourself, and it’s kind of like, Who do I turn to? You have that sense of anxiety, and you want to be perfect, and you want to be great."

As they always say, greatness comes with a price. For her part, it is clear that paying this stipend has taken its toll on Wilson over the years.
