Kelsey Plum is a household name in the sport of basketball. She’s the NCAA women’s basketball’s all-time leader in points scored, a former No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft, Sixth Woman of the Year and an Olympic gold medalist.
But this calendar year, she’s been on another level. Plum is currently fourth in the W in points per game (19.7) and was recently named the MVP of the 2022 All-Star Game. Before then, she had a memorable encounter with seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady at a Las Vegas Aces game where she barked at him in their first official meeting.
As it turns out, Brady may be a fan of barking. He sent a gift package to Plum with this in it:

“Kelsey, you are amazing. Good luck. LFG (Let’s [expletive] go).” Signed. Sealed. Delivered from Mr. Brady himself.
Like Brady has so many times, can Plum help lead her squad to a championship? The Aces are in second place and have +162 odds at Tipico Sportsbook to win the title.
