Sheryl Swoopes claims Angel Reese alone is enough of a reason to tune into the WNBA Finals: "Tune in and watch"

WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes is urging basketball fans to tune into the 2026 championship series, specifically highlighting the growth and performance of Angel Reese. Swoopes believes the Dream star has overcome significant criticism to reach this stage, making her a primary draw for the upcoming games.

The anticipation for the series has driven ticket prices to record levels, with the cheapest seats for Game 1 starting at $214, a massive jump from the $34 entry point seen last year. Average purchase prices for the opener have reached $355, while premium courtside options are fetching upwards of $4,000.

Potential future games, such as a Game 7, are seeing entry prices as high as $416. Reese enters this series following a strong playoff run, including an average of 2.2 blocks per game, building on her reputation as a dominant rebounder.
