WNBA star A'ja Wilson hopped on Twitter to speak her mind about LeBron James' $154 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. Here's what she had to say inside...
Last night, it was announced LeBron James is leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers to join the Los Angeles Lakers after signing a $154 million four-year deal with the organization.
Naturally, everyone was losing it. And everyone has their own opinion about it...including WNBA star A'ja Wilson.
The Las Vegas Aces player commented how it "must be nice" to receive a $154 million contract. Then, she proceeded to "stay in her lane" when folks got in their feelings about her pointing out the wage disparity:
154M ........... must. be. nice. We over here looking for a M but Lord, let me get back in my lane pic.twitter.com/IFDZLlI53z

And she's not taking ANYTHING away from King James. She's commenting on a bigger issue:
And I love Bron not taking nothing away from him

Apparently, the comment got up under the skin of some men on Twitter because they wasted no time to hop in her mentions and "explain" why she doesn't deserve that amount of money. Here's what she said to that:
Ooowwwweee the men in my mentions showing out, I hit a nerve I see I pray your future daughters wanna play basketball then maybe you’d chill on all the hate and get a better understanding

Bloop! They obviously don't get it. And what she says below proves just how much they DON'T get it:
& Stop telling to “get back in the kitchen” “stay in the kitchen” allat ... I CANT COOK! ask my parents, bae, friends all them know stop trolling and tweeting me that! I’ll burn the kitchen down

Oh, and don't tell her when it's time for her to speak her mind:
It’s always time “sweets” https://t.co/5KSoJhxgJy

The folks in her mentions with the BS are totally missing her point about gender inequality and UNEQUAL pay because, privilege (white & men):
We get less than 30% revenue vs the guys get 50%..... >><<>><<>>< https://t.co/ixes8kP3Ft

A'ja's teammate Kayla McBride also joined in on the conversation as well and had a clear message to the haters:
I don’t wanna hear anything or anyone who doesn’t walk in my shoes every day talking about salary in the WNBA. We deserve more. Period. If you don’t like it. Or watch it. Or whatever. Stay in your lane homie because you not out here hoopin every night. Like I Am.

And on that note, there's nothing left to say.
