Seven Super Bowls and fifteen Pro Bowls with numerous astonishing accolades were apparently not regarded enough for Tom Brady to justify walking away from the field completely. Hence, following retirement, he continued his involvement in the sporting world by purchasing stakes in Las Vegas Aces and Birmingham CityFC.
Within a month of his retirement, Brady purchased a share of the WNBA franchise. However, recently A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces reached a record during a game against the Atlanta Dream, and Tom couldn’t help but take to social media to commend Wilson.
Brady applauds A’ja Wilson’s record-tying performance in the WNBA game
In the Tuesday night game, the Las Vegas Aces defeated the Atlanta Dream 100–112. The game was quite thrilling for the Aces team, not just because they won, but also because of Wilson’s incredible 53-point performance. She equaled Liz Cambage for the most points scored in a regular-season game in the WNBA due to her performance.
Tom Terrific is still active as an owner and appears to enjoy attending his teams’ games on a pretty regular basis. After witnessing Wilson’s feat, which tied the past record, the 46-year-old praised the Aces player on his Instagram story, writing, “I never scored 53 and mine were worth 6,” tagging Wilson.
The Aces’ first-round selection in the 2018 WNBA draft helped them win their first WNBA championship last year. Due to her remarkable play, the 27-year-old also took home the WNBA MVP and Defensive Player of the Year awards in the same season.

The three-time NFL MVP purchased a minority ownership in the Las Vegas Aces on March 23, though the exact percentage of his investment was not made public. Following that, Brady expressed his joy in a statement and mentioned how he developed a liking for women’s sports while accompanying his elder sisters to their sporting events.
“I am very excited to be part of the Las Vegas Aces organization,” said Brady in a statement. “My love for women’s sports began at a young age when I would tag along to all my older sisters’ games—They were by far the best athletes in our house! We celebrated their accomplishments together as a family, and they remain a great inspiration to me.”
A’ja and Kelsey Plum appeared to be really happy about the former NFL player joining the team, and they quickly expressed this happiness on Twitter after learning of the news.
In his 23-year career, TB12 has already accomplished a lot as a footballer. It will be interesting to watch how successful he turns out as a sports team owner.
