A’ja Wilson Catches Chelsea Gray Off Guard With Unexpected Postgame Remark; 'That's Gonna Go Viral'

A'ja Wilson apparently doesn't force anything. And that goes for unexpected humor, too.

The Las Vegas Aces star completely shocked teammate, Chelsea Gray, during Friday night's postgame press conference after their win over the Phoenix Mercury. And just like Gray said after looking completely shocked, "That's gonna go viral," it certainly did.

Friday night's 86-83 win over the Mercury marked six straight wins for the Aces. They currently hold the longest winning streak in the league.

Wilson once again made WNBA history with 30-points and 16-rebounds, passing Tina Charles for the most games with at least 30 points and 15 rebounds.

Wilson's amazing performance didn't end when the game ended. She kept that energy up during the postgame press conference, where she even shocked her own teammate with the words that came out of her mouth.

During the postgame press conference, Wilson had the room laughing with her analogy. But it was Gray's reaction that added to the hilarity of the conversation.

While speaking about how she's been working on letting the game come to her rather than force anything on the court, Wilson made an analogy to further explain her thought process.

"I told myself after All-Star break to just let the game come to me like it is. It's gonna be what it's gonna be. And if I try to harp it and force it, cause I want this win so bad for my team," she said.

"It's like forcing a fart. All you get is sh-t."

Gray, sitting next to Wilson, couldn't contain her shock. She gasped and slapped the table, which added to the now viral moment.

Wilson continued through Gray's shock and never dropped the seriousness.

"So, I just really like, learned to be patient with myself but also my teammates and so I think that game kind of showed it," she continued, as if Gray wasn't having a flabbergasting type of moment next to her.

Gray chimed in to say, "That's gonna go viral!"

Gray was right! This moment is definitely viral, capturing the attention of many fans. Some fans took to the comment section of ESPNW's Instagram post to share their thoughts and jokes about Wilson's analogy and Gray's shock.

"Chelsea made this 100x funnier. I lost it when the camera cut to her," one person shared. Another added, "Chelsea is us lol..out of all the analogies in the world that’s what A'ja hit us with." One other viewer said, "Intrusive thoughts won this time."

And there were plenty more hilarious comments shared. A few people pointed out that Wilson just kept going through Gray's shock and stayed focused and serious.

"It’s the way A’ja ain’t skip a beat and just kept on rolling," one person wrote. Another said, "Best part: A’ja was serious." One other viewer shared, "And said it with a straight face."

The Aces are on a winning streak! Seeking that seventh consecutive win, the Aces are back at home for the next three games - Dallas Wings on Sunday, Aug. 17, Atlanta Dream on Tuesday, Aug. 19, and they'll face the Mercury again on Thursday, Aug. 21.

Then the team hits the road for three games - Washington Mystics on Saturday, Aug. 23, Chicago Sky on Monday, Aug. 25, and Atlanta Dream on Wednesday, Aug. 27.
