“I want Michael Jordan to come to a game,” she told Chicago station WGN9.
“I’m telling you right now, I want Michael Jordan to come to a game.
“I’ve never met him. That’s the only person I really want to come to a game.”
The third overall draft pick by the Bulls in 1984, Jordan went on to spend 13 seasons in the Windy City, winning six NBA titles and being named league MVP five times.
Whether or not Jordan ends up making his way to the Wintrust Arena this season to watch Reese and Co. she still expects to see plenty of other famous faces in attendance.
“Everybody is going to be courtside,” she told reporters.
“The celebrities are going to be courtside, just know. The who’s who are going to be courtside.
“I was at the Met Gala and Usher is going to come up to a game in Vegas, and Cardi B…
“I know some people that y’all might not think I know.”
One such celebrity may end up being Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams.
Selected first overall out of USC last month, the former Heisman Trophy winner and Reese have already forged a friendship.
In fact, Williams and Bears teammates Rome Odunze and Keenan Allen all sat courtside during Reese’s 101-53 preseason win on May 7.
Recently, Reese said she and Williams had discussed their mutual goal of doing “great things” while in Chicago.
“It’s just great being able to bring that winning culture back to Chicago in all sports, not just football and baseball as well, but everybody, so just being able to have a city that’s winning and everybody loves you from all different kinds of sides,” she said, as per NBC Sports Chicago.

“Being able to come together for the community for the right thing is something I’ve always emphasized.”
Across the Sky’s two preseason games, Reece totaled 26 points, 14 rebounds, and two assists.
Her most recent game, against New York, came the day after she stunned at the Met Gala.
On the same day she turned 22, Reese wowed in a turquoise 16Arlington dress by Marco Capaldo.
Her floor-length dress included a deep V-neck lined with sequins, a feather-covered skirt, and a sheer patterned fabric that reached the floor.
Reece’s look, which was styled by Naomi Elizée, was finished with a pair of custom ice-blue Stuart Weitzman heels, according to Marie Claire.
As for her WNBA career, that will begin in earnest on Wednesday, May 15 when they head to Texas for their first regular season game against the Dallas Wings.
Reese will have to wait another 10 days for her first opportunity to play a regular season game at home, however, when they take on the Connecticut Sun.
