This week, Sue welcomes Brittney Griner to Bird's Eye View for a deeply personal conversation about her basketball journey, how she’s overcome the most extreme adversity, and how she found her voice as a veteran mentor. BG opens up about her harrowing 10-month detention in Russia and the long road to mental and physical recovery that followed upon her release. After a historic, championship-winning 11-year run with the Mercury and a pit stop with the Dream, BG finds herself mentoring a young Connecticut Sun squad, and looking forward to the franchise's upcoming relocation to her hometown of Houston in 2027. And she happily shares that she's finally turned a corner and is throwing down two-handed dunks again. Bird’s Eye View is produced in partnership with VOX MEDIA and TOGETHXR.
