Behind the Scenes: Fans react to Cathy and players at WNBA Live | QITM

WNBA All-Star Weekend has officially arrived in Chicago! On today’s episode of Quita in the Morning, I’m taking y’all behind the scenes of everything I experienced during Day 1, even without a media credential. We’re talking about the Voices of the Game panel featuring LaChina Robinson, Elle Duncan, Ari Chambers and more, my first impressions of WNBA Live, the best player outfits and all the incredible interactions between players and fans. I also have to tell y’all what happened when WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert walked through the crowd because, yes, there were definitely some boos. But the overall energy was filled with joy, love and excitement for women’s basketball. Plus, Natasha Cloud proved once again why she is one of the realest players in the league, I finally got a picture with Teresa Weatherspoon, and I explain the new WNBA Shooting Stars competition. And then, live on the show, I discovered that my plans for the day might be completely ruined because apparently I missed one very important RSVP.
