It’s the finals that every hooping fan deserves. After days of back and forth, it all came down to one game that will decide the 2024 WNBA Champion. Importantly, the Minnesota Lynx seemed to have stepped onto the court without nerves, as they took a 7-point lead over the NY Liberty at the end of the first half. Thanks to star forward Napheesa Collier. However, fans seemed more interested in the WNBA-Skims commercial amid the one-sided first half.

Heading into the Game 5, the Liberty had their eyes locked on the title, as they reach this place for the sixth time in three decades. However, Collier seemed to be a problem for the side. In Game 1, where it all looked like the NY side would go one up in the series comfortably, the Defensive Player of the Year’s overtime heroics, pulled the game in the Lynx’s favor. Moreover, in tonight’s game, it isn’t any different.

Napheesa Collier dropped a game-high 17 points in the first half, completely demoralizing the Liberty. Despite the crucial juncture of the game, fans seemed distracted by Kim Kardashian’s brand, Skims commercial played during the quarter breaks.

Notably, a few days ago, the loungewear brand dropped pictures of NBA stars Donovan Mitchell and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in Skims, catching quite the attention. So, that has been the story for tonight’s game as well. The only difference is, the fans decided to speak, creating a divide on the internet.

Well, there could be only two reactions to this situation. A section of fans definitely didn’t want to see a commercial take over amid the series-deciding game. On the other hand, some fans did enjoy a little breather amid the intense finals action. Importantly, there isn’t a right side or wrong side to this debate but there’s something that we can certainly look into, hilarious reactions.

To kickstart the proceedings, here’s a viral reaction that took over the X. The fan wrote, “WNBA skims commercial? When I’m just tryna watch some ball?” This fan indeed belongs to the first category. However, they didn’t go with just that statement. Here’s the apt video dropped along with the post.

Another fan went a step further and attempted to find the reason behind WNBA-Skims’ situation during Game 5. They wrote, “wnba skims commercial is making up for the fact that the liberty are playing soooo terribly.” This reaction made sense for a while until the Liberty made a comeback in the third quarter and headed into the fourth quarter with a three-point lead. Meanwhile, as mentioned before, there were a few fans, who belonged to the second category. This fan wrote, “The WNBA skims commercial was fire tho let’s talk about it.” 

Nevertheless, everyone is headed to catch up with the final few minutes of the game, as it could be anyone’s game from here. Will be the NY Liberty’s first ring or the Lynx’s fifth? Let us know in the comments.
