The WNBA is in the midst of a breakout era, drawing unprecedented attention and momentum across the league. In this episode, Swin Cash joins Sabreena and Annie for a timely conversation on the game’s rapid evolution—from intentional pathways for hiring women coaches and Olivia Miles turning heads on the court, to her role in the WNBA’s equity stake sale and her perspective on veteran recognition payments.
Swin also shares which team she’d love to play for if she were still in the league today.
Plus, a quick update on All-Star fan voting, along with Nike unveiling the first look at Caitlin Clark’s signature shoe.
