    Kate Scott: The voice behind the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA & being the "first" woman in sports broadcasting

    If you watch basketball at all, you're familiar with her, Kate Scott is the voice of the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA, but she didn't start there. Kate was the first woman to call an NFL game on the radio, the first woman to call Pac-12 football was a member of the first all-female broadcast team for the NHL, was the first woman to call a Golden State Warriors, and called the Olympic men's and women's basketball on NBC. She's a force to be reckoned with, but she doesn't take herself too seriously, so get ready for some laughs.
