Tom Brady’s still winning championships even after retirement! Seems like after conquering the NFL world and earning 7 SB rings. There’s still hunger and passion left inside the legendary former QB to enlarge his trophy cabinet. As a minority investor for WNBA team Las Vegas Aces, Tom Brady gave a wake-up call to Aces’ A’ja Wilson and teammates in a bid to continue with the wins in the championship finals.

Given the small margin of error and with talented players on both sides, the Aces chalked out a hardworking win of 99 points over Liberty’s 82.
