Las Vegas Aces star Kelsey Plum went off for 30 points in the WNBA All-Star game on July 10, but all anyone wanted to talk about after the game was her MVP trophy. It was so, so small, especially compared to the NBA’s enormous Kobe Bryant All-Star MVP trophy that debuted in February.
The internet had a lot of jokes, and WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert didn’t forget. She brought the jokes with her to the Commissioner’s Cup Final between the Aces and Chicago Sky on Tuesday.
After the Aces won, Englebert gifted Plum a new trophy, and it was even smaller than the original.
Safe to say @Kelseyplum10 wasn't feeling her new All-Star MVP trophy 😂

The new trophy was so small Plum initially thought the gag was an empty box. The laughs really came out after she dug through the Tiffany & Co. box for the little cup buried underneath all the plastic.
“Cathy got jokes!”
That is equal parts cold and hilarious! At least the Commissioner’s Cup was a good size.
