Tom Brady and sports – they just go together. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback has now acquired shares in the US basketball team Las Vegas Aces.

Tom Brady has apparently found a new team to root for in the future. The former NFL quarterback has acquired a stake in the reigning WNBA champions Las Vegas Aces, as he himself announced on Twitter.

Mark Davis, owner of the Aces and the Las Vegas Raiders, confirmed the share purchase. Only the league’s official confirmation is still pending.

“Since I bought the Aces, our goal has been to win on and off the court,” Davis said. “Tom Brady is not only an asset to the Aces and the WNBA, but to all of women’s sports. “

Brady calls his sisters “a great inspiration to me “

“My love for women’s sports began at a young age when I went to all of my older sisters’ games – they were by far the best athletes in our house,” Brady said in his statement. “We celebrated their accomplishments together as a family, and they remain a huge inspiration to me. “

According to “The Athletic”, Brady was introduced to the Aces last year when he sat on the sidelines as a spectator during their win over Connecticut Sun.

This is not Brady’s first foray into ownership: he bought shares in an extension team in Major League Pickleball with ex-tennis player Kim Clijsters last year.
