When A’ja Wilson picked up her record-breaking fourth WNBA MVP award, the spotlight was naturally on her — but Las Vegas Raiders and Aces owner Mark Davis managed to steal a little of the show.
Known for his unmistakable blond bowl cut, the billionaire showed up in a brand-new look that had fans buzzing: a bright pink wig.
Matching the Star’s Signature Style
The choice wasn’t random. Wilson herself famously wore a pink wig when she launched her A’One sneaker line, and Davis, 70, decided to join in the fun by paying tribute to her in the same way.
Even her boyfriend, Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo, was in attendance — though he skipped the wig.
Fans React to Davis’ Wig Moment
While the evening was meant to celebrate Wilson, it was Davis’ pink hair that had social media lighting up.
Many fans joked it was the best hairstyle he’s ever had.
-
“This is the best his hair has ever looked,” one fan wrote on X.
-
“Better than his real hair,” another quipped.
Of course, not everyone was impressed. Some joked that Davis’ late father, Raiders legend Al Davis, would be fuming at the sight.
Others went so far as to blame the wig for the Raiders’ rough 1-2 start to the season, writing: “This why we losing.”
A Hairstyle With History
Davis’ hair has been the subject of conversation for years.
Back in 2015, ESPN revealed that he used to travel from Oakland all the way to Palm Desert, California, just to see his preferred barber.
Despite years of people urging him to ditch the blond bangs, he’s refused.
“He ain’t changing it,” late Raiders receiver and close friend Cliff Branch once told ESPN. “When people say something, he just laughs.
The more they tell him, the more he’s going to keep it. If they back off and don’t say anything, he might change it.”
Wilson’s Historic Achievement
At the end of the day, the real reason for the celebration was Wilson’s achievement.
The 29-year-old forward etched her name into the record books, becoming the first WNBA player to win four MVP awards, surpassing legends Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie, and Lauren Jackson.
Wilson, who led the league in both scoring (23.4 points per game) and blocked shots (2.3) this season, admitted the moment still feels surreal.
“It’s not going to hit me until the end of the season honestly; it is truly a blessing to be where I am,” Wilson said.
“I don’t think I could ever put into words how special this moment is. My name is in the history books forever.”
Her big night, however, was capped with a tough reminder that the work isn’t done.
The Aces fell in Game 1 of their semifinal series against the Indiana Fever — proving Wilson will need to keep carrying the load if Las Vegas wants to repeat as champions.
