Tom Brady took to Instagram to celebrate the Las Vegas Aces’ WNBA Finals win as he added yet another championship ring to his collection.
The Aces defeated the New York Liberty 70-69 in a Game 4 thriller to win their second straight title – less than a month after Brady was officially approved as the team’s minority owner.
And Brady was delighted for the team as he penned a touching tribute to the Aces.
‘So proud of these women and this organization,’ he wrote on Instagram. ‘Took everyone’s best shot all year long and never stumbled.;
The quarterback then posted a story in honor of each player on the active roster, as well as coach Becky Hammon.

Brady was also seen taking in Game 1 of the Finals with owner Mark Davis back in Las Vegas.
The title is the eighth that Brady has been involved in after he won a staggering Seven Bowls (six with the Patriots, one with the Buccaneers) in the NFL.
Brady and the Aces announced on March 23 that he purchased a minority share in the team, but the transaction was not finalized until October 3.
The former quarterback has also invested in Championship club Birmingham City, while he has also agreed to become a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders – also owned by Davis.

However, that deal has stalled of late, with the Washington Post saying it’s unlikely to be ratified at the next owners’ meeting from October 17-18.
Complicating matters is a new no-equity policy installed by the NFL that prevents employees who aren’t family members from receiving a stake in teams.
Brady isn’t technically a Raiders employee just yet, but as Pro Football Talk reported in July, Davis had planned to employee the 45-year-old in some capacity as part of the deal. Davis reportedly informed other owners of this plan at league meetings.
Now, since the no-equity rule was adopted, Davis’s hopes of employing Brady and selling him a portion of the team have been complicated, considerably.
