The Oklahoma City Thunder are NBA World Champions—how did they do it, and what does it mean for the future of the league?

We dive into major injury headlines, including Tyrese Haliburton, Caitlin Clark, and Paige Bueckers. Who’s the better all-around player between Caitlin and Paige? We compare their games, impact, and future ceilings in the WNBA.

Angel Reese is putting up massive numbers in her last five games. Has she turned a corner and established herself as a dominant force?

Top high school recruit Ace Bailey wasn’t happy being drafted by the Utah Jazz, which sparks a deep conversation about how NIL deals, agents, parents, and outside influences are allowing young athletes to manipulate the draft process before they even reach the league.

And finally, we discuss the recent announcement of a sit-down interview between Knicks leadership and South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley. Should women’s college basketball coaches make the jump to the NBA or WNBA? Is it good for the game—or does it hurt the development pipeline?
