Two Barbie girls in a Chicago Sky world. A few days ago, sisters Joy and Jade Lee had a goal to raise enough money to buy tickets to Chicago Sky's game against Indiana Fever, one of the hottest tickets in the WNBA, by selling lemonade to their neighbors. On Friday, their dream came true.
With the help of philanthropist Early Walker and the Chicago Sky, the sisters and their family received the VIP treatment ahead of the Sky's "Barbie Night Game," a highly anticipated matchup between star rookies Angel Reese of the Sky and Caitlin Clark of the Fever. The sisters, dressed up in their best all-pink outfits, were picked up from their Roseland home in a luxury SUV and were dropped off at Wintrust Arena where they sat just a few rows away from their favorite players — including Reese, whose nickname since being selected No. 7 in this year's draft by the Sky is Chi-Town Barbie.
"I love Angel Reese so much," said Jade, 12. "She's my favorite player. I love her personality and she loves Barbie and I love Barbie.
" Despite the Sky falling to the Fever in a 100-81 loss, Reese recorded her 23rd double-double, the most by a rookie in league history. The Lee family joined by friends and family pose outside their home in Roseland ahead of being picked up to see the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever game on Friday.
