Story summary

Zendaya, an Oakland native and Hollywood actress, attended Game 5 of the WNBA Finals between the Valkyries and the Dream at Chase Center in Golden State, showing support for her hometown team. The Valkyries are in their second season and have gained popularity among local celebrities like George Lucas and Too $hort. Despite sharing an arena with the NBA's Golden State Warriors, the Valkyries' playoff games reportedly generate louder crowds than NBA matches, according to 49ers star Deebo Samuel. The team has sold out every regular-season home game for two seasons and is now two wins away from winning their first WNBA championship.
