GIRLS TRIPP! Ty Young: They Told Me to "Just Play Basketball" & How The W Finally Caught Up

Listen for free

View show details

12-year WNBA vet Ty Young joins Girls Tripp for the first time, and she doesn't hold back on what it cost to be herself. Young talks about being openly gay and living publicly with her partner while playing, catching backlash for her fashion and reality-TV life when the message was "just play basketball," and why she believes staying true to who she was may have shortened her career. She also revisits coaching a young A'ja Wilson (who still calls her "grandma"), playing for a trash-talking Bill Laimbeer, and how being a versatile 6'2" guard-forward kept her in the league for 12 years. Then Ryan Ruocco travels around the W, breaking down the Commissioner's Cup atmosphere at Barclays and his theory that a great crowd is its own kind of star that pulls TV viewers in, why he wonders if the Kelsey-Plum-less Sparks should become sellers at the deadline, and how the expansion Valkyries climbed to third in the standings with no lottery pick and what opposing players call the best atmosphere in the league. 🏀 Girls Tripp airs EVERY WEEK on the Road Trippin' channel. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 — Iman Shumpert Crashes the Studio 04:00 — Ty Young on the Amazon Prime Booth 11:00 — Commissioner's Cup: Liberty Repeat 18:00 — Coaching A'ja & Playing for Bill Laimbeer 28:00 — Being Herself: Fashion, Reality TV & the Cost 38:00 — Fast Lane, Girls Trippin' & Tunnel Fits 48:00 — Ruocco: The Crowd as a "Star" & the Sparks' Deadline 📱 FOLLOW The Road Trippin' Show on socials: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/roadtrippin TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@roadtrippinshow X - https://x.com/roadtrippinshow 📺 FOLLOW Girls Tripp on socials: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/girlstripppod/ Allie - https://www.instagram.com/al.clifton/ Jordan - https://www.instagram.com/jordanligons/ 🎙️PRODUCED by Rain Delay Media - https://www.raindelaymedia.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
