You're listening to DraftKings Network.
Hey, what's up, y'all? Welcome to Good Follow Show, presented by DraftKings. It's your girl, Roz Goldenwooder, and I am coming to you from Nashville, Tennessee, because I am here for a preseason welcome week of extravaganza activities for Athletes Unlimited heading into their fifth season. And for this episode, we have a very special guest joining the show. She is a WNBA champion. She is most recently of the Seattle Storm and will be rejoining them. And for Athletes Unlimited entering her fifth season, also my homegirl and friend, Lexi Brown. My girl.
What's up, Lexi? How are you?
I'm great. How are you? I'm good. I'm always happy to see you.
How does Lexie plan to support new players in Athletes Unlimited?
Yeah, we always run into each other.
Yeah. Never for work, though. This is like our first work.
This is a work thing. Last time I saw you, it was the Women's Final Four. And you were like, let me get you an individual photo shoot. And I was like, no, there's no way. Like, Alexi, you do not have to take a picture of me.
Because I was like, what I was like having.
No, no, no. No, no, no, stop. No, no, no. But I was like, what do I look like at the Women's Final Four having Lexi Brown taking my photos? I make everybody take my pictures.
What is Lexie's experience with free agency in the WNBA?
My friends already know.
If we're going out, you have to take photos of me. Not for nothing, you nailed it. They look good.
You posted them.
The likes went crazy. That's what I'm here for.
Yeah.
Actually, you know, before we even started this, it took us a while to even get to the basketball because to me, you're a little sis, you know, like this is, you know, the youth coming up and you just told me you're heading into year nine of the W. Yes. Nine. I'm proud of you. Thank you. That's a testimony.
Considering all you've had to overcome through your basketball career. It's been a lot.
How will the new head coach Sonia Raman impact the Seattle Storm?
I didn't think I was going to even get to five years. Honestly. Well, I mean, I got cut after year three. I was like, Oh God. Wrap it up. But now we're heading into year nine. I'm so blessed and grateful.
That's crazy. And there's also been a lot of things that have been outside of your control, whether it's Crohn's disease. You know, it's also just a competitive league. You've played in it during a time where there were less teams.
A lot of changes.
Roster spots.
Everything.
Yeah.
What is Lexie's perspective on the ongoing CBA negotiations?
Almost anything you can experience as a WNBA player, I've probably experienced. I'm like a walking testimony of just how hard it is at times, but also how amazing it is at the same time.
So knowing that as you step into Athletes Unlimited this upcoming season, which will now be your fifth, what do you need from this experience?
What are you trying to get out of it? Honestly, I think this is like the first season. I don't need a thing. I'm here to serve and pour into everybody that's here. And I think for me, this is going to be a really special season Because it is such a transformative year for women's sports and women's basketball. We have like a really, really good roster. Like this is the best roster we've ever had. And we were very intentional of who we brought to Nashville this season for season five. And there's going to be a lot of changes, a lot of excitement. And I'm just ready to pour into people. Like I've just been poured into constantly every single year I've been here.
How does Lexie feel about the reactions from WNBA owners during negotiations?
I just felt like I've always been the person that everyone's like, are you good? Do you need anything? What's going on? You got traded. Yeah. Like I got traded last year during season, like right before a game. So like I walked into the arena and everyone was like, are you okay?
I think I might've been there last week.
Are you there? I literally was like late to warmups. Like I got the call literally on the way to a game and like we were, I walked into like our pregame meeting and everyone was like, are you okay? I'm like, yes, I'm employed. I'm fine. It's okay.
What role does Lexie play in the Athletes Unlimited player executive committee?
Everything's going to be fine. But I just feel like every year has been something with me. And I think this year will be the first year where I can really just show up for everybody else. And I'm really excited about that.
