The Las Vegas Aces star A?ja Wilson appeared in an interview with USA Today Sports on Wednesday. And on being questioned about the dream team owner, the 27-year-old was quick to take Beyonce?s name like a dedicated fan – ?Beyonce? I?m screaming at the top of my lungs like they might have to put me in a hospital.?
For the unversed, NFL?s retired quarterback Tom Brady had announced in March this year about purchasing a minority stake in the defending WNBA champions the Las Vegas Aces. The majority owner Mark Davis was super excited to have an offer from Brady and had reflected how the partnership would help in growing the league exponentially. The WNBA recently approved Brady?s offer to have a stake in the Aces.
To show his support for the Aces, Brady was also present with Mark Davis during their Game 1 of the Championship Finals against The New York Liberty at Michelob Ultra Arena. Brady was in fact taunted by the Aces star Kelsey Plum as per an article by Meredith Cash on Insider. Prior to this, Brady had also sent Plum gifts including a signed jersey.
Meanwhile, the Aces blew out the Liberty with a huge margin of 104-76 during Game 2.
