I'm a CT resident and long time UCONN women's basketball fan. Naphessa has always been one of my favorites. However! I learned so much more about her on this podcast! She's so much more mature as a person since she came to CT and graduated...she's so much more than being a basketball player. Good luck at the Olympics Naphessa! We'll be watching!
We love to hear that! She is amazing and we’re happy to help share her story outside of just being an athlete. Thanks for watching!
Napheesa you are very impressive. Good luck in Paris.

I 100% know if you women start creating a bigger platform with starting top 25 3vs3 comp, desgining clothes for girls to women, big and small. You are gonna get alot of owners and companies outside the WNBA owners, sponsors, etc vying for your pop up businesses and hiring alot more women to cater for the explosion that will happen. Go hard and i love womens hoops!
maybe we're looking at a future Commissioner of the WNBA.
Maybe! :)
