On this episode of Levels to This, Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby kick off (one of) the most wonderful times of the year: Athletes Unlimited season! They break down why this year’s AU roster might be the deepest yet, from returning champions and OGs to rookies looking to prove they belong. The duo digs into what makes AU such a critical cultivation ground for players fighting for WNBA opportunities, the impact of vets like Tina Charles joining the mix, and why this season feels especially important for player development. They also get into new builds for AU this year—from named teams to real coaching staffs—and make early, spicy predictions about who could walk away as champion. PLUS: Should AU be the WNBA's G League?
