Metta Kicked the Ball Into the Stands... And Nancy Lieberman Saw the Rest.

Nancy Lieberman has a story about everybody and she brought a lot of them to ALL THE SMOKE. Matt & Stak got into all of it with Lady Magic: taking the A train to hoop at Rucker Park as a kid, the day Muhammad Ali pulled her aside and changed her life, and the summer Pat Riley didn't want her on the Lakers. Nancy also got real about coaching under George Karl in Sacramento, what Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese did for WNBA paychecks, and the BIG3 run that made her and Stak family.
