Nneka Ogwumike Retires + The Case for Her To Be Next WNBA Commissioner

Hours after Nneka Ogwumike announced her retirement, Cynthia Cooper breaks down what the W is losing, and the trio makes their plea for her real next job: WNBA Commissioner. Then Coop relives Hall of Fame weekend, from her 2010 induction with Karl Malone and Scottie Pippen to her admission that Dream Team hoopla unfocused the '92 team that became the last USA women's squad to lose at the Olympics. Then the trio travels around the W — Taurasi's Ring of Honor, the 2027 All-Star Game landing in the Bay, why Coop says the Fever have everything they need to be champions, and Dallas needing the FIBA break most. 🏀 Girls Tripp airs EVERY WEEK on the Road Trippin' channel.
