Ever wondered about the vibrant culture that surrounds women's basketball? Join us on the Things You Should Know podcast as we welcome Philly's own Kelly Wilson, who shares her firsthand experiences with the passionate WNBA fan bases. Kelly also gives us a glimpse into her personal life by recounting a touching moment at her godkids' kindergarten graduation, reflecting on how quickly children grow and the passage of time for adults. We dive into the excitement and enthusiasm of the WNBA, celebrating cities like Las Vegas, Connecticut, Seattle, and New York that boast some of the most dedicated fans.
The episode takes an in-depth look at the intricate dynamics of women's basketball. We spotlight influential figures like Candace Parker and discuss the raw competitiveness and unique appeal of the WNBA, contrasting it against the sexism and racism that often taints sports media coverage. Debunking the myth that the league needs a single superstar to gain attention, we emphasize the excellence and engaging drama that make the WNBA a must-watch. From team dynamics to personal relationships akin to reality TV drama, discover why this league offers much more than a game. Tune in for a celebration of the WNBA's quality and the compelling stories of its athletes.
