• Levels to Gambling Problems

  On this episode of Levels to This, Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby tackle the NBA’s gambling scandal—what “inside info” does to the integrity of the game, where accountability belongs, and why timing matters—while drawing a sharp line between fan betting and what players, coaches, and insiders should never touch. Sheryl brings the locker-room lens; Terrika brings the reporter’s receipts, and together they ask what safeguards women’s sports need as wagering grows. They close with a quote that reminds us that faith is SO grounding.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
