Athletes support other athletes! Team USA’s men’s and women’s basketball teams have supported each other all throughout the tournament. That trend continued to the quarterfinals, where one of Team USA’s biggest stars came out to support her peers.
Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson watched the men of Team USA dominate Brazil in the quarterfinals of the Olympics. Wilson was joined by another megastar, Snoop Dogg, sitting beside her and enjoying the game.
After the game, Wilson had a short but sweet reaction to her watching the game with Snoop Dogg. Wilson simply said, “The vibes were top tier ✨🙏🏾” in her caption.
Wilson has been the women’s team’s best player in the tournament so far. The former WNBA MVP is tied with Breanna Stewart as the leading scorer for Team USA, with 20.3 points per game. Her steady presence in the paint with 9.7 rebounds per game has stabilized Team USA.

Wilson witnessed history in Team USA’s win over Brazil. In the game, Kevin Durant became the all-time leading Olympic scorer for USA basketball, surpassing WNBA legend Lisa Leslie’s previous record.
Team USA is looking to win their eighth gold medal. After the men’s team’s dominance over Brazil, the women’s team looks to follow suit against Nigeria. Wilson will once again be counted on to lead Team USA through the Olympic playoffs.
