The 2024 WNBA Finals concluded with controversy, but all fans agree that it was an intense five-game series that may be remembered as the most competitive and exciting championship in league history.
Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese was among the fans torn between the two teams, both featuring beloved players that the women’s basketball community wanted to see win the championship.
However, there was one individual who did not want either team to win.
WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes appeared on the “Gil’s Arena” podcast with former NBA player Gilbert Arenas and expressed her conflicted feelings about the Liberty winning the title.
Sheryl Swoopes explained on the podcast that she was happy for the Liberty’s victory but never wanted New York to win anything due to past rivalries. She also revealed that she did not want Minnesota to secure a fifth championship, as her Houston Comets had won four consecutive titles in the league’s early years.

Swoopes referenced her Houston Comets’ rivalry with the New York Liberty during their championship years and why she did not want either team to win the 2024 title.
Some may view Swoopes’ stance as competitiveness, while others may see it as simply disliking both teams.
