YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx made a relentless public critique of league management last year.

In an interview with NPR's Steve Inskeep, she talks about the new WNBA contract and securing higher pay and increased benefits for women. Reminded that she had called WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert "the worst leadership in the world," Collier stepped back slightly.

"Thinking about the state of the world right now, I think that's a little dramatic," she said.
