Tom Brady announces return to sports world after NFL retirement

Tom Brady is ready to enter the game.

But this time, instead of switching to football, he switches to basketball instead. The recently retired quarterback, 45, has acquired a stake in the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, the team announced on March 23.

“I have some very special news to share today,” Brady said in an Instagram video. “I am pleased to announce that I am joining the Las Vegas Aces organization. It was only a matter of time before I would be back in the building with some of the greatest athletes in the world.”

The seven-time Super Bowl champion also shared his personal connection to the purchase decision.

“I grew up with three older sisters,” he noted. “They were all incredible athletes in their own right. They were role models for me. This is where my love for women’s sports began. I came with you. I was the annoying little brother to all their House games, and they’re still a huge inspiration to me.”
