The Atlanta Dream’s Rhyne Howard sits down with Sue Bird to reflect on her standout Kentucky years, her early years in the W, and her aspirations to bring a championship to the Dream. They discuss how Rhyne strongly considered transferring after Kentucky head coach Matthew Mitchell retired before deciding to stay with the program. They also dive into how Howard consistently turns doubt into motivation, what people get wrong when they question her motor, and why she sees it as simply playing at her own pace. They also discuss her impact on both ends of the court and what she thinks of the Dream’s new head coach Karl Smesko and his system as Atlanta chases a title. Plus, Sue gives another history lesson — this time on Elena Delle Donne and her incredible 2019 MVP season.
