In a recent appearance on ‘The Pat Mcafee Show’, Kelsey Plum talked about what it is like having Davis as the owner of the team. On being asked what it is like having Davis as the owner and if is this what all WNBA is like, Plum responded, “Mark is incredible. So, his investment in us, when it first started, I think people scratched their heads and you know, you look at it now and you see it pay off tremendously.”

“But Markman, he’s a competitor. He’ll text me before games, ‘Just win baby, just win’, he’s yelling at me on the sideline. We’re running back and forth, he’s a competitor, he’s not satisfied, and he’s loved, he’s loved by the people. So, shout out to Mark, great human being. I mean, WNBA owners, I don’t know what everyone’s like, I’ve only played for Vegas, But what I do know is, I wouldn’t wanna be with anybody else, in terms of Mark Davis and his investment in us and he’s growing the league,” Plum added. 

Her words showcase that the Aces have found an owner who’s not just passionate but a driving force behind their success.
