Sheryl Swoopes’ WNBA season ended prematurely when her Seattle Storm lost to the L.A. Sparks in the first round of the playoffs. But the three-time league MVP is back on the radar Monday in the latest episode of Logo’s Shirts & Skins. The fascinating new reality series goes behind the sometimes disharmonious scenes with the San Francisco Rockdogs, a gay basketball team on the proverbial rebound (Mondays, 10 pm/ET).
In previous episodes openly gay NBA vet John Amaechi has counseled the team on both game strategy and coming out. In this week’s episode (the fourth of six), Swoopes stops by for a pep talk as the squad prepares for the national gay basketball championships. The guys had better listen: Swoopes, who came out publicly in 2005, has NCAA, WNBA and Olympic titles to her credit.
