The Las Vegas Aces are having a great 2022 season, as they hold the best record in the Western Conference as of this writing. Star Kelsey Plum has played a significant role in the team’s success.
Earlier this year, Plum got to meet Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, who was sitting courtside at the Aces’ May 31 home game against the Connecticut Sky. It just so happens that Brady is Plum’s favorite athlete.
On July 23, Plum shared a gift that she received. It was from Brady, and inside the box contained an autographed jersey!

The jersey was not only autographed but it also featured a message which read “Kelsey you are amazing. Good luck. L.F.G.” Plum received other gifts as well.
Plum spoke about meeting Brady in a press conference following the aforementioned game. So what did Plum tell the seven-time Super Bowl winning quarterback? Well, Plum revealed she said “Man you’re a dawg, I love you,” and barked at him. Brady responded with an approving “yeah.” You can take a listen at Plum’s comments below, courtesy of KSNV News 3 Las Vegas’ Jesse Merrick.
The week has been great to Plum, as she was named the MVP of the WNBA All-Star Game after scoring 30 points. That is tied for the most points scored in a WNBA All-Star Game. Maya Moore tallied the same amount back in 2015.
Through 27 games this season, Plum is averaging a career-high 19.7 points and 5.4 assists, while shooting 44.0-percent from the field and 41.2-percent from the three-point line.
What a memorable week it has been for Kelsey Plum.
