The WNBA Playoffs are just a few hours away. Another thrill-filled Postseason will pave the way for some remarkable rivalries. Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty are the prime favorites to square off in the Finals. However, before that, the Aces will have to face a dogged Chicago Sky squad. With the big game day looming, A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces also had some fun alongside hooping enthusiast Tom Brady.

The former NFL Superstar took to the Aces court and even issued a challenge.

During Las Vegas Aces’ practice before the Chicago Sky Round 1 game, Tom Brady showed up to shoot some hoops. In the background, Travis Scott’s “Thank God” is playing. In the first instance, with a reverse cap on, Tom Brady shoots three beautiful jumpers. The form is akin to a well-versed pro-shooter and the fluency on the shot is brilliant to watch.

Meanwhile, in the second instance, BlackOps Basketball skills trainer Chris Joseph Brickley cuts to the left wing and splashes home a mid-ranger. The look of the jumper isn’t the prettiest, but he does follow many fundamentals such as getting his shooting arc parallel to the rim. These two put on a shooting clinic. In his story, Brady tags the Aces’ stars Kelsey Plum, A’ja Wilson, and Candace Parker, writing “Let’s run 2’s!?” A’ja Wilson reposts the story without adding anything to it.

Around his retirement, the interest of the unparalleled NFL phenom has grown in different fields. Thus, he is also a keen investor in the Las Vegas Aces. Six months ago, Brady invested in the Aces, which is valued at around $14 million. With a net worth of around $250 million, the former Patriot has got a ton of investment post-retirement. 

The current Fox Sports analyst does look serious about growing the game, though. Showing up to practices and wearing Sabrina Ionescu’s Nike Sabrina 1 signature show.

Brady learned a lot from his sisters

The Brady family was a sports galore. Brady used to catch up to his sister’s games when they were young. Upon buying a minority stake in Aces, he revealed,”I am very excited to be part of the Las Vegas Aces organization. My love for women’s sports began at a young age when I would tag along to all my older sisters’ games.”

He recognized their talent by saying, ” They were by far the best athletes in our house! We celebrated their accomplishments together as a family, and they remain a great inspiration to me.”
