Valkyries Break Records, MVP Race Starts, and Clark-Reese Reignites

The WNBA is back and opening weekend did not disappoint! On this episode of The Women’s Hoop Show, hosts Jordan and Autumn break down the biggest storylines lighting up the league. From the Golden State Valkyries' historic debut in front of a record-breaking crowd — with Autumn reporting live from the arena — to Kelsey Plum’s electric Sparks performance and the Liberty’s banner-raising blowout led by Natasha Cloud, we cover it all. Plus: Paige Bueckers’ rookie debut vs. Caitlin Clark’s media storm, DeWanna Bonner’s historic scoring milestone, and a fiery conversation around Angel Reese, fan behavior, and what it really means to grow the game. We also spotlight under-the-radar storylines like the Mystics’ 2–0 start and debate whether the Aces and Storm are contenders or just getting started. And we end with Giving Flowers — celebrating the players who won the weekend.
