On Wednesday night, it was reported that Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark will get her own signature sneaker from Nike. She'll become the third active player in the WNBA to get her own shoe, joining Sabrina Ionescu and Breanna Stewart. 

After this news went public, people started wondering when two-time WNBA champion A'ja Wilson will get her own signature sneaker. 

Former ESPN personality Jemele Hill tweeted, "A'ja Wilson, who is a 2-time league MVP, 2-time WNBA champion, 2-time DPOY, a Finals MVP, a 5 time WNBA All Star, and a best-selling author, is probably somewhere like."

Hill wasn't the only person who vouched for Wilson. Countless fans said the South Carolina product deserves more recognition. 

Well, it appears Wilson has offered her own thoughts on this situation. Late on Wednesday night, Wilson posted this message on X: "Always remember what is delayed is not denied."

That's the right mindset to have at this time. If the WNBA's popularity increases dramatically, Wilson could very well get own signature sneaker. 

In the meantime, all Wilson can do is continue dominating her opposition. She flexed her muscles last season, averaging 22.8 points and 9.5 rebounds per game for the Las Vegas Aces. 

There'll be plenty of eyes on Wilson when the 2024 season begins.
