The world of sports has been forever changed by trailblazers like Napheesa Collier and Nancy Lieberman. Last week, Collier's comments criticizing WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert and the league's lack of accountability set the sports world ablaze and just the latest in her ever-growing list of accomplishments leading the game forward. "Queen Phee", the NCAA champion, four-time WNBA All-Star, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, and co-founder of the empowering women's basketball league, Unrivaled, doesn't shy away from revealing to Dan Le Batard her fears of an early retirement after becoming a mother. Napheesa also shares why she was so determined to create Unrivaled after being fed up with how the WNBA has let its players and fans down with its "tone-deaf and dismissive" leadership. Then, the legend, Nancy Lieberman, also talks with Dan about how women’s basketball has reached new heights, looking back on how far the game has come… and how brightly the stars of the current day – Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, A’ja Wilson, and more – shine when the spotlight is finally put on them.
