Beat Migs! We ask the rockaholics what shocked them the first time they saw it?

One of the great, but forgotten teams, in WNBA history is the 2010 Seattle Storm. Lead by two all time greats in Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson, the Storm (no pun intended) stormed their way to a terrific regular season before pulling off the very rare perfect postseason, sweeping their way to a championship. One of the best runs in WNBA history is a great story, but was this a great team? Nate Wall, Jacob Brindle and I try to answer that question!

A lesson in media relations, players' privacy, and more, within the context of the question that was asked to Azzi Fudd about her and Paige Bueckers' relationship. Helen Williams and Jamie Steyer Johnson get into all of that, the closing of the Women's College Basketball Transfer Portal, and more.
