This week, Azzi and Ashanti are joined by basketball icon Sue Bird, and it’s giving legend energy from the jump. They swap UConn stories — yes, the CD games, the pantyhose era, all of it — and talk about how much the game (and the world) has changed since Sue’s college days.

Sue opens up about leadership, what confidence really looks like, and how to handle the pressure that comes with being that girl on and off the court. Azzi and Ashanti even force Sue to rate some of her classic fits throughout the years.
