    Rebecca Lobo on Playing in the First W Game & Iconic “We Got Next” Campaign | Thirty Years of the W
    2026/11/13
    Bird’s Eye View is sending the thirtieth WNBA season off with a bang. Over the next few weeks, Sue will revisit the five eras that defined thirty years of the league in a special series called “Thirty Years of the W.” To kick things off, WNBA OG and Hall-of-Famer Rebecca Lobo takes us back to the days when the league was just getting started. No team logos, no rosters, only women who firmly believed “We Got Next.” Rebecca and Sue discuss why Rebecca trusted the vision of the WNBA, playing in the league’s inaugural game, the rise of the W’s first dynasty, and efforts made to prove women’s basketball has a place in the professional sports world. Bird’s Eye View is produced in partnership with VOX MEDIA and TOGETHXR.

    The Champ is Here! Gabby Williams Reflects on the Golden State Valkyries’ First WNBA Title
    2026/11/06
    Fresh off securing the first ever WNBA championship for the Golden State Valkyries, 2026 Finals MVP Gabby Williams stops by Bird’s Eye View! Gabby and Sue talk about Gabby’s offensive strategy for Game 7, how it felt facing an equally defensive-minded team in the Atlanta Dream, Natalie Nakase’s bold leadership, and why Golden State’s system can’t be replicated. Gabby also reflects on all of the ways she and the Valkyries made WNBA history during this Finals run, from Gabby scoring the most points in a Finals game half (28 points) to Golden State becoming the fastest team to win a title.
