Examining Napheesa Collier's MVP Season & The Rise of the Valkyries with ESPN’s Kendra Andrews

The Women’s Hoops Show

In this episode, ESPN’s Kendra Andrews joins us for a wide-ranging conversation on some of the biggest WNBA storylines right now. We kick things off with a deep dive into Napheesa Collier’s MVP-caliber season, her leadership role with the Lynx, and what her recent injury means for Minnesota’s title hopes.

We then shift to the ongoing CBA negotiations, player leverage, and the impact of Unrivaled on the future of the league. Kendra also gives us the inside scoop on the Golden State Valkyries—how they’ve become the league’s most exciting expansion story, the role of international talent, and what makes them a real playoff threat.

Plus, we talk NBA vs. WNBA coverage, media access, and how storytelling differs across leagues. And yes, we even find time to unpack Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion’s power couple moment.

Whether you're here for the hoop talk, the business of basketball, or the Bay Area takeover, this episode has it all.
