Chelsea Gray Was Shocked A'ja Wilson Used This Analogy After Aces Win Over Mercury

In this story:
Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson continued her WNBA dominance on Friday night, tallying 30 points and 16 rebounds while leading her team to an 86-83 win over the Phoenix Mercury.
Following the contest, Wilson spoke about how, since the All-Star break, she's worked on letting the game come to her instead of trying to force things on the court. In doing so, she used quite the analogy:
"It's like forcing a fart, all you get is sh—."
Naturally, this answer from Wilson elicited a hilarious reaction from teammate Chelsea Gray. Check it out:

"That's gonna go viral," Gray said, flabbergasted. "I'm so sorry."
Whatever works, I suppose. The Aces' victory marked their sixth in a row as they look to climb in the standings ahead of the postseason. They now sit at 20-14, in third place in the Western Conference, with 10 games to go before the playoffs.
