Golden State Valkyries standout Veronica Burton joins Sarah to talk about her breakout season last year, believing in herself during her lean years in the league, coach Natalie Nakase’s ‘no a-holes’ policy, and the magic of Ballhalla. Plus, a “well, duh” kind of statement, a 16-year streak continues, and an annoying reminder that we still have to consider the men.
