Mark Davis hits the pink hair beat as A'ja Wilson earns fourth WNBA MVP

Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis, 70, drew attention Sunday as he appeared with a bright pink wig to celebrate A'ja Wilson's historic fourth WNBA MVP award. The moment came as Wilson accepted the league's top honor from commissioner Cathy Engelbert in Las Vegas, with family and fans around to share in the celebration.

Wilson, 29, led the league in scoring (23.4 points per game) and blocks (2.3) this season and became the fourth player to win four league MVP awards, joining Sheryl Swoopes, Lisa Leslie and Lauren Jackson. She said the moment was 'truly a blessing' and that her name would be in the history books forever. Her family and boyfriend Bam Adebayo were on hand for the ceremony, though Adebayo was not seen wearing a pink wig.

Reaction flowed across social media, with many fans praising Davis’ bold styling choice. Some Raiders supporters joked that his pink hair might be a distraction or a jolt to a team that had started the season 1-2, while others defended the playful moment as a lighthearted celebration of Wilson’s achievement.

Davis has long been associated with a distinctive look of his own. He is widely known for his blond bowl haircut, a feature that has drawn attention for years. A 2015 ESPN feature detailed how he traveled from Oakland, where the Raiders had just relocated, to Palm Desert, California, to visit his preferred barber. The piece noted that people frequently urged him to switch his hairstyle, but he remained steadfast. A close friend and former Raiders wide receiver Cliff Branch told ESPN, 'He ain't changing it.'

The pink wig worn by Davis during the celebration was read by some as a nod to Wilson’s own style—the wig she wore while introducing her signature A'One sneaker—and to the spirited culture surrounding the team and its stars. Wilson herself acknowledged the magnitude of the moment before Las Vegas lost Game 1 of the WNBA semifinal series to Indiana, saying, 'It's not going to hit me until the end of the season honestly; it is truly a blessing to be where I am. I don't think I could ever put into words how special this moment is.' The milestone adds to Wilson's legacy as she continues to chase a championship with the Aces after becoming a four-time MVP this season.
