Candace Parker on coaching, commentating and coming out + Hardship contracts explained

With two more guards injured on the Indiana Fever, Zena, Ben, and Sabreena discuss the intricacies of hardship contracts and roster spots – and what the near-future might look like for the Fever. Plus, they get into the latest rendition of the Sabreena Scale. Then, one of the greatest of all time, Candace Parker, joins the crew to discuss her new memoir and dig into topics affecting the WNBA today – like how to cultivate diverse coaching staffs and how the media can break away from “gentle commentating.” And to help us kick off Pride Month, Candace shares her journey to self-acceptance and embracing her sexuality. _________________Visit our YouTube page!_________________References:WNBA power rankings: Are the New York Liberty destined to repeat? by Sabreena MerchantWhy Brittney Griner has been ‘rejuvenated’ since joining Atlanta Dream by Ben Pickman_________________Get in touch!
