Women’s basketball and the WNBA has been on the rise and it took many years, coaches and players to get to this point. One of those trail blazers is Judy Mosley McAfee, one of the very first women drafted into the WNBA. Today we hear her history, after an update on the Valkyries from the host Erin Lim.
