Alongside archival footage, there are interviews with stars of the past and present, including Rebecca Lobo, Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore, Breanna Stewart, and Paige Bueckers, as well as staff members and rivals who try to explain what it takes to enter this system, survive in it, and continue the streak of success.
