On this week’s episode of Bird’s Eye View, Sue Bird talks to Seattle Storm rising star Dominique Malonga about having Wemby as a peer, going pro at fifteen, and becoming a versatile post player. Dominique opens up about what it was like to transition from playing professional basketball in France to playing in the WNBA, how she plans to continue diversifying her post game (dunking is involved), and the lessons from this season that she, Awa Fam and Flau’jae Johnson will carry with them into next season.
Plus in Sue’s View, Sue speculates who may still have a chance to sneak into the top eight in a new segment called “The Superpower vs. Achilles Heel.”
