Y’all. Breaking news. Sometimes, Twitter can actually be used to put some positivity in the world.
Kelsey Plum showed us that on Friday night.
The Las Vegas Aces star has been absolutely scorching the nets this season. She’s been one of the most efficient scorers in the WNBA and is a big reason why the Aces are title favorites at this point.
But what she did on Friday doesn’t really have too much to do with basketball. Someone pointed out a fan to her with a sign that said “Living W Stage 4 Breast Cancer. Meeting Plum #10 is on my bucket list.”
She didn’t meet the fan during the game. So what’d she do? Let Twitter do it’s thing. She posted a picture of her and asked if anyone could help find her.
Hi, can someone help me find this person??????? ❤️❤️🥹 pic.twitter.com/FGXY5b9peY
