3x WNBA champ with three different teams plus two NCAA championships! #Winner Thank you Candace Parker for all you have done, and will continue to do, for the sport and the women who play it! You’ve changed the game by changing expectations and have always stayed true to you!

The 1981-82 Cheyney University WBB team was recognized as Trailblazers of the Game by the WBHOF and the incredible Valerie Walker gave the acceptance speech on their behalf. They were the first and still only HBCU to advance to an NCAA Championship! Incredible team! IfNotForThem

In Knoxville for the WBHOF Induction Weekend and stopped to see their newest exhibit on Caitlin Clark … plus the brick I purchased when the doors opened in 1999, 25 years ago! IfNotForThem

We’d love one in Kansas City Alexis Ohanian 🇦🇲!

Another win! A 5-2 victory at CPKC Stadium tonight!!! The KC Current are now 4-0-1! Glad to have have nephew Jack Mohr join me at the game tonight!

Thank you Chancellor Doug Kristensen for your service to UNK and greater Nebraska! You will be so missed in your current role but I’m confident you will continue to inspire excellence in whatever is next and have positively influenced generations of
leaders. Thank you! #Loper4life

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! Bessie Stockard is a national treasure and more people need to know her name! Andrew Maraniss included her in his book “Inaugural Ballers” and she will be featured in the IfNotForThem docuseries in production. She helped build the foundation for today’s success

As I continue my research for @ifnotforthem while I’m producing the ten-episode series, I am finding these types of whispers from the past — we should celebrate and thank those who broke down barriers and changed social norms so we have what we do now!

Thank you Dana & Parks - KMBZ Radio for having Executive Producer Brenda VanLengen on the show to talk women’s basketball!

Tonight Caitlin Clark crushed it on SNL and she thanked WNBA Stars Sheryl Swoopes Cynthia Cooper Lisa Leslie dawnstaley and her hero Maya Moore for kicking down the door so she could walk inside. She also roasted Michael Che pretty well for all his anti-women’s sports jokes!

Thank you Ford Clark for inviting me to speak with your students at University of Nebraska at Kearney! So impressed with the work they are all doing on campus and in the community! I hope UNK Athletics knows how lucky they are to have such hard working students broadcasting their games!
