Bird's Eye View with Sue BirdShow Notes
This week, Sue welcomes Marina Mabrey and Aaliyah Edwards — two teammates on both the Connecticut Sun in the WNBA and Lunar Owls in Unrivaled!
They get into so much WNBA and Unrivaled talk…with lots of laughs in-between! Marina and Aaliyah share their relationship as teammates in both the W and Unrivaled and their first impressions of each other, discuss the recent Unrivaled games in Philly (which included Marina’s 47-point game), and how they feel they are growing their games this Unrivaled season. Marina also shares the origin of her crashout jar, and opens up about some her more notable “crashouts” (including against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever last season) and the challenge of balancing and controlling of her competitiveness. They also have a in-depth discussion about the Unrivaled 1-on-1 tournament, and so much more! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
