Tina Charles has seen it all. She’s won an MVP, Olympic gold medals, played overseas, been traded, and competed alongside (and against) some of the biggest names in WNBA history. This is a special two-part episode, recorded first in late June, then again on July 10. Across both conversations, Tina and Sue talk about Tina’s early struggles at UConn, playing for her hometown New York Liberty, and what she learned from each of her stops along the way. Tina also reflects on the highs and lows of her time in Phoenix, what it was like joining super teams, and how she’s evolved as a leader and a teammate. Finally, Tina and Sue tell some incredible previously untold stories about USA basketball, life overseas, and...drug tests... Plus, Sue shares her take on the new CBA possibly bringing more European players to the W, DeWanna Bonner’s return to Phoenix, and the rookies named to this year’s All-Star team.
