On Wednesday, at the Aces’ media day, Wilson revealed what motivates her to keep dominating.

“The real answer? I like making people mad.

Wilson has previously discussed her place in the WNBA’s history, while crediting others who helped get the league to where it is today.

“It wasn’t a hit at me, because I’m going to do me regardless,” Wilson told Time. “I’m going to win this MVP, I’ll win a gold medal, y’all can’t shake my résumé. It was more so, let’s not lose the recipe. Let’s not lose the history. It was erased for a minute. And I don’t like that. Because we have tons of women that have been through the grimiest of grimy things to get the league where it is today.”
