New York Liberty team owner Joe Tsai offered an invitation to ESPN personality Michael Wilbon to join him for Game 4 of the WNBA Finals at the Barclays Center after the latter was critical of their attendance.

Wilbon launched his criticism toward the Liberty and the Brooklyn Nets for having a bad homecourt advantage. The Liberty headed back from Sunday for an elimination game against the Las Vegas Aces. If the Aces won, they would be the two-time WNBA champions.

"You need a rabid, Phillies-like crowd in Brooklyn. Oh, wait. They’re barely awake in Brooklyn," Wilbon said on ESPN’s "Pardon the Interruption," via Nets Daily. "It is the worst home-court advantage, home-court situation in terms of spirit in the entire NBA – all 30 teams (maybe Washington) – and the entire WNBA – all whatever it is, 12 teams? It’s the worst.
