'Champs Only': Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso Turn Heads In NBA Finals Promo

Chicago Sky rookie forwards Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso are going viral after appearing along with NBA royalty in a new NBA Finals promo.

The one-minute, 44-second clip features Queen Latifah as an emcee transported from The Great Gatsby, and the two women's college basketball national champions make an appearance at the 56-second mark.

"Tonight, we honor basketball's king and queens," Queen Latifah says before the camera cuts to Reese.

"Champs only," the 2023 national champion says, then mimes placing a crown atop her head along with Cardoso, who won the national title just last month at South Carolina.

NBA Hall of Famers Dwyane Wade, Ray Allen, Isiah Thomas and Magic Johnson also appear in the clip as the league builds anticipation for the 2024 NBA Finals, which tip off Thursday, June 6 on ABC.
