Good Game with Sarah Spain

Washington Mystics forward Kiki Iriafen joins Sarah to discuss how her team’s young roster makes the pros feel like they’re back in college, her late start getting into the sport of basketball, why she only has one mandatory item on her pre-game to-do list, and what it took for people to finally start pronouncing her name correctly. Plus, racing double, lacrosse on the lake, and getting coached up to “outwit, outplay, and outlast.”
