🏀 Before There Was Caitlin... There Was Cynthia Cooper

How’s it going, welcome back to The Smoke Signal 💨, the official newsletter of All The Smoke.

We back in L.A., back in our bag, and back with a legend. Cynthia Cooper is one of the coldest to ever lace ‘em up. She pulled up to All The Smoke and didn’t hold nothin’ back. From dominating overseas to building the W from scratch to speaking Italian with Mamba, Coop’s story is a masterclass in grit, grind, and greatness.

She took us back to Watts, broke down how today’s WNBA is finally getting its shine, and even gave us her personal Top 5 all-time list (yes, she made the cut — like she should).

Let’s get into it. 🧨

As always, appreciate y’all — Matt & Stak
