Sheryl Swoopes on playing MJ 1-on-1, Kobe vs LeBron, growth of the WNBA

NFL: Good Morning Football

On the latest Off the Edge with Cam Jordan podcast, Cam comes to you live from the start-studded Fanatics Fest in New York City. He’s joined by Pro Basketball Hall of Famer and women’s basketball icon Sheryl Swoopes. They get into Sheryl being the first player to ever sign a contract with the WNBA, and how winning the first four championships in league history cemented her legacy as an all-time great. She then discusses the evolution of the WNBA and praises current players like superstar A’ja Wilson. Sheryl then shares what happened in her famous 1-on-1 game against Michael Jordan, and the memento she kept from that game. Sheryl and Cam later have a G.O.A.T. debate about Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant. And Sheryl gives us the inside stories of what it was like to be on the “Martin” TV show, and the off-script moment she still talks about.

The Off the Edge with Cam Jordan podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Radio.
