Defending WNBA champions, the Las Vegas Aces started their title defense earlier this week as they hosted the Chicago Sky at the T-Mobile Arena. The Aces have been the team to beat all season and their recruitment of former Chicago star Candace Parker during the offseason has only made their team stronger. While the Sky managed to scrape into the Playoffs on the final day, the Aces have dominated the inaugural 40-game season winning 36 pof those as they clinched the top seed for the Playoffs.

While the Aces did lose the Commissioner’s Cup to Sabrina Ionescu’s NY Liberty, the champions are still clear favorites to retain the WNBA crown. Their season so far has been exceptional with the team breaking multiple records during the course of the year. This unprecedented season by A’ja Wilson and Co recently left an ex-NBA star in utter amazement as Tom Brady’s recent investment of millions into the franchise looks to be playing its part 6 months in.

Revealing that the team achieved their “best offensive rating in WNBA history” this season the former Mavericks man stated, “The Las Vegas Aces this season ended up having a 113 offensive raking, the number one best offensive rating in WNBA history.”

Continuing to praise A’ja Wilson and Co’s nigh insurmountable feat JJ then expanded on their other achievement of the season as he explained, “They also ended up with a plus 15 net rating which is the third best in WNBA history only to the 2000 and 1998 Houston Commets.”

Notably, earlier this year the Las Vegas Aces announced NFL legend Tom Brady as their newest member as the Patriots icon became a minority stakeholder of the WNBA side.
