This season in the WNBA, Kelsey Plum has been the dominant force many observe her as. And on July 10th, she sealed her status as one of the best in the league with a career-high 40 points to her name. In a game between Las Vegas Aces and Minnesota Lynx which ended 113-89 in favor of the Aces.
Plum managed to contribute over 25% of the total points tally for the Aces on her own. And Brady was quick to notice and posted a story on his IG handle. He added a picture posted by the Aces, a team in which he shares a stake as one of the owners, to his story. He would go on to caption the story with 40! and three fire emojis, as words could not do justice to the feat.
The Aces minority holder was stunned as she is the only WNBA star to have hauled a 40 point game 7 times in a single season, with the previous record set at 3. The former Patriots QB would be proud of Plum and will hope she continues to stack up her achievements. And her husband will hope the same as he cheers her on after a beautiful ceremony a couple of months ago.
