Andrew Maraniss has written an exceptional and vital new book, "Inaugural Ballers". He joins host Howard Megdal to tell the story of the 1976 USA Basketball team, yes, but really a story of how that team both fits within the broader scope of the feminist movement, served as an answer to the bad-faith critics of women in basketball, and helped create a roadway for the growth of women's sports in the decades since. Hear the origin stories of Ann Meyers Drysdale, Pat Summitt and many more.
