Angel McCoughtry's Still Dreaming & Fighting For The WNBA
Description
She’s a No. 1 draft pick, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, and one of the most decorated defenders in WNBA history—but Angel McCoughtry isn’t done yet. In this powerful and wide-ranging conversation, Angel joins The Women’s Hoop Show from Egypt (yes, Egypt!) to talk about everything from mentoring kids through NBA Africa, to her thoughts on the 2024 WNBA Draft, to fighting for a final shot at the league.
Angel opens up about what it feels like to be left out of the league despite still believing she has what it takes—and the mental toughness required to keep going. She reflects on the growth of the WNBA, shares her hopes for expansion (hello, Louisville!), and even gets candid about the viral moment where she asked a reporter to name 10 current W players.
Plus, she dishes on her time at Louisville, the hardest players she’s ever had to guard, what it was like playing on Team USA, and her post-hoop hustle—including her Atlanta-based ice cream shop.
And don’t miss the debut of our new game segment, Pick & Roll, where Angel plays casting director for the movie of her life.
