The WNBA’s momentum is at an all-time high, drawing record online viewership, lucrative media rights deals, and packed arenas across the country. Yet, as the league continues to make waves in women’s sports, the broadcast booth has faced backlash for seemingly safe, monotone commentary and underrepresentation.

Ric Buchner highlights the need for the biggest voices in sports to join the WNBA broadcast.

For the last five years, I have cleared my schedule for every A’ja Wilson versus Breanna Stewart matchup — and there have been many.
