Plus:
- A quick history of WNBA expansion team expectations
- Thoughts on the early identity of the Valkyries
- Why fan traditions matter — and how they start
- Listener Q: Why do women play with a smaller basketball?
- This week’s Buzzer Beater (shoutout to the record-setting All-Star ticket sales!)
