*The WNBA is being mocked on social media for presenting Las Vegas Aces guard Kelsey Plum with a small All-Star Game MVP trophy.
The trophy “is a small tin cup that one would receive as a participation trophy when they are playing sports in Elementary School,” Hot New Hip Hop writes.
As reported by NBC Chicago, Plum earned the award at the WNBA All-Star Game on Sunday in Chicago.
“Plum was the best player on the floor as she tied the record for most points scored in a single WNBA All-Star Game, matching Maya Moore’s 30 points from 2015,” per Deadspin.
