A former league All-Star and the first ex-player in his role, he discusses how players are responding to the league's new rules, some of the recent off-the-field player controversies, and sports media entering the streaming era.

Then, Lisa Brummel and Ginny Gilder, two of the three co-owners of the WNBA's Seattle Storm, join the show to talk about how they've help build the most valuable franchise in the WNBA, how they keep fans engaged, equity in sports, and more.

Plus, Bloomberg Originals correspondent Vanessa Perdomo breaks down the news of Vlatko Andonovski stepping down as head coach of the US women's national soccer team after their abrupt exit from this year's World Cup. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
