Tom Brady backs A'ja Wilson for MVP—Is she the future face of women's sports?

In March 2023, Tom Brady bought a minor stake in the WNBA franchise Las Vegas Aces. Since then, he has promoted the team on various occasions. As the saying goes, quality attracts quality! In his team, the 3-times NFL MVP has found a perfect athlete. 2-times WNBA MVP, A’ja Wilson. The Aces star is smashing records this year. And Brady is praising her. Is he trying to build up the tempo for another MVP Award for Wilson? Looks like that!

The GOAT posted a video on his Instagram story with highlights of the WNBA star scoring a basket. Endorsing another award for her, he tagged Wilson and wrote, “MVP” and “If you’re not watching, you’re missing out.” While she is breaking league records one after another in the current season, her recent performance makes a strong case for another MVP award. During the game against the Wings on the 27th of August, she topped the scoring chart with 42 points. Impressive! This is the second time Brady has given his seal of approval for her talent.

Acknowledging her dominance in the WNBA, Time Magazine gave her a spot in TIME100: The Most Influential People of 2024. Tom Brady wrote an essay on the 2024 Olympics gold medallist, which read, “A’ja Wilson is not just an incredible athlete, she is also an inspiration to all who witness her talent and drive. Her journey is a testament to the power of passion and fearlessness in achieving greatness.” WNBA has become huge in recent years with women athletes inspiring more and more women to play sports. Wilson is one of those. And Brady understands it.

A champion himself, The GOAT knows that no one can succeed in competitive sports without dedication and resilience.  He sees those qualities in the 2X WNBA MVP and expresses it in these words, “A’ja Wilson is not just a champion; she is a symbol of resilience, compassion, and unwavering dedication. Her story is a reminder that with passion and fearlessness, anyone can achieve greatness.” With back-to-back WNBA titles (in 2022 and 2023), the 2024 MVP Award will be cakewalk if she makes it a 3-peat.
