Who In the world is Diana Taurasi? I've never heard that name until about an hour ago. Apparently she's really jealous of janitors. Janitors deserve to get paid more than her at any point in her career. Janitors are actually needed, they aren't playing a game.

Trinity Rodman is so back. After spending months sidelined with a back injury, the Washington Spirit forward made her return and scored a game-winning goal. Tears, hugs, and a vulnerable celebration ensued. Blake and Caroline also dive into why the women's Tour de France has some cyclists talking about periods, infertility, and overtraining.  In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: Blake and Caroline's recap of Diana Taurasi's docuseries premiere in New York The will-they-won't-they situationship between Micah Parsons and Jerry Jones Just how fast Caitlin Clark clocked Jordan Chiles' disloyalty to the Fever  The tea on the potential $325 million sale of the Connecticut Sun Why Luka Dončić is gaining honorary millennial status  Blake's IG: @blaaakkkke Caroline's IG: @cghendy theSkimm's IG: @theskimm PS: Did you know theSkimm has a sports newsletter?

From being the No. 1 high school basketball player in the country to winning national championships with UConn and now leading her hometown Dayton Flyers — Coach Tamika Williams Jeter's story is one of excellence, energy, and coming full circle.In this episode of SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next, we sit down with one of the most influential names in women's basketball to explore her journey from the courts of Jefferson Township in Dayton, Ohio, to the pinnacle of college hoops and back home again — this time as head coach.Coach Jeter reflects on her legendary playing days at UConn, where she teamed up with icons like Sue Bird, Swin Cash, and Diana Taurasi to build a dynasty and take down Tennessee's dominance. After a successful WNBA career, she transitioned into coaching, guided by the philosophy of her mentor Geno Auriemma: “Never lower your standards.”Now at the helm of the Dayton Flyers, Coach Jeter is infusing her program with passion, toughness, and purpose. This episode dives deep into:How she became the top high school player in the country despite starting lateWhat it was like being part of UConn's most iconic eraHer coaching evolution and why building relationships matters just as much as Xs and OsWhy returning to Dayton was more than a job — it was a callingThe vision for Dayton women's basketball and her mission to bring home championshipsWe also get to know the woman beyond the coach — a proud mom, community builder, and low-key chef known for her legendary banana pudding. Her authenticity, drive, and deep roots make her a force in the game and a role model far beyond it.

Coach Nikki Blue's journey through the game of basketball is nothing short of legendary. From the streets of Bakersfield, California, to the bright lights of the WNBA, and now calling plays from the sidelines at USC, her story is filled with grit, leadership, and a relentless commitment to growth — both on and off the court.In this inspiring episode of Sportslifetalk's You Got Next, we sit down with Coach Blue to unpack a career that has impacted the women's basketball world at every level. She takes us back to where it all started — watching Showtime Lakers tapes with her mom and falling in love with the art of the pass, a love that would eventually make her one of the most electric point guards in the country.Coach Blue reflects on her decision to choose UCLA over national powerhouse UConn, staying close to home and honoring her roots while becoming a four-time All-Pac-10 standout. She opens up about her time in the WNBA with the Washington Mystics and shares wild overseas stories — like dodging flying objects from rowdy fans in Greece — and how those moments shaped her perspective on life and leadership.One of the most powerful chapters in her story came when she was unexpectedly named interim head coach of the Phoenix Mercury. With little time to prepare, Coach Blue stepped up, earning the respect of superstars like Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner while guiding the team to one of the most explosive offensive quarters in WNBA history.Now an assistant coach at USC, Coach Blue is helping guide one of the hottest programs in the country — all while coaching for UCLA's crosstown rival. She talks candidly about what it means to put rivalry aside and focus on elevating the women's game in Southern California.You'll also hear her powerful advice for today's players and parents navigating the new age of NIL deals, transfer portals, and AAU overload. Coach Blue keeps it real, emphasizing balance, values, and taking control of your time and journey:“This is one of the biggest decisions of your life. Enjoy it. Take your time. And don't let anyone rush your greatness.”Coach Nikki Blue's story is a masterclass in resilience, leadership, and staying grounded while chasing big dreams. Whether you're an athlete, parent, coach, or fan of the game — this is an episode that will leave you motivated and ready to level up.

The Phoenix Mercury let it fly — and the shots just kept falling. Erika, Stephen, and Quita Loves Sports break down Phoenix's statement win over the Sky, powered by a franchise-record 17 made threes.

Plus: how Phoenix's offensive identity is evolving, all-star voting updates, and a look ahead to the next big matchup.

The Phoenix Mercury just handed the New York Liberty a rare loss — and they did it without Kahleah Copper. Alyssa Thomas was the heart, soul, and muscle of the win, dominating both ends of the floor and putting the league on notice: she belongs in every MVP conversation. Erika and Stephen break down AT's impact, how Monique Akoa Makani & Kit Laksa stepped up, and what this win says about the Mercury's identity when their leader is sidelined.

Order has been restored in Phoenix. The Mercury are off to a 7-4 start—their best since 2018—and Alyssa Thomas is back to doing what she does best: setting the tone, anchoring the defense, and unlocking the full potential of Satou Sabally. Erika, Stephen, and special guest Nekias Duncan break down how AT's return has changed the Mercury's identity, what the team's recent sellout crowds say about the energy in the Valley, and how the starting lineup could evolve moving forward.

Satou Sabally led the Phoenix Mercury with 20 points, but it wasn't enough to hold off the Seattle Storm in their third matchup of the season—this time ending in a tough home loss.

The crew also highlights what her growth could mean for the rotation moving forward. Plus, what this game tells us about the Mercury's identity through the first ten games, how they've fared in close contests, and what needs to shift before next week's matchups.

Another double-digit comeback, this time built on lockdown defense and a career night from undrafted rookie Lexi Held, who casually dropped 24 points like she's been doing this. Erika and Stephen unpack the rise of Held, how Satou Sabally's leadership is setting the tone, and why Phoenix might just be the most chaotic fun team in the league right now. Then, @christanwnba joins the show to preview the Mercury's third matchup of the season with the Seattle Storm. What's changed since the last time these teams faced off? Who's stepping up for Seattle, and what Phoenix needs to do to keep the comeback train rolling?

The Phoenix Mercury launched their 2025 WNBA season in spectacular fashion, securing an 81–59 triumph over the Seattle Storm at PHX Arena. Satou Sabally led the charge with 27 points, showcasing her prowess on both ends of the court. Alyssa Thomas contributed significantly with 13 points and 4 assists, while Kathryn Westbeld added 7 points, including two crucial three-pointers. The Mercury's defense was formidable, limiting the Storm to a 33.3% field goal percentage and just 17.6% from beyond the arc. Skylar Diggins stood out for Seattle with 21 points, but the team's overall offensive struggles were evident. Join us as we delve into the highlights, analyze key performances, and discuss the implications of this season-opening victory for the Mercury.

“I'm never out here trying to prove to others who I am. I'm out here proving to myself that I'm exactly who I said I am.” Natasha Cloud WNBA Champion   Pivot Family, We have had a lot of great conversations but this one is up there as one of our favorites because it's so personal, covering so many life aspects we don't talk about often and truly reveals the inner character of a remarkable woman who stands on strength and is fueled by passion and purpose. Ryan, Fred and Channing sit with former WNBA champion and Connecticut Sun point guard Natasha Cloud. Cloud, joins the guys for an emotional and powerful conversation about her journey through basketball, identity, social justice advocacy, and the fight for equality in women's sports. Through her battle scars and experiences, we get to know the real side of this strong woman who found her voice at a young age and has never hid from who she is to use it.    Growing up biracial, in a predominantly white household and community, Cloud reflects on feeling like she existed in a “gray area”…never feeling fully white, never feeling fully black and how that shaped her outlook. Shedding some tears, she shares how much her parents mean to her and how they embraced her wholeheartedly even though it wasn't always easy times. Cloud opens up about her self discovery to understanding her Blackness, the difficult conversations that came with it, and how her white parents made a constant effort to support her experience as a Black woman.   Energized and excited about the success and competition of playing in the Unrivaled league- Cloud is now gearing up for their next battle as she is at the forefront of the WNBA's fight for better pay, benefits, and respect. She speaks passionately about the upcoming Collective Bargaining Agreement, the need for pensions, and the growing investment in women's basketball. She also discusses this past WNBA season with the increased viewership and doesn't shy away from speaking on aggressive play being criticized as something other than basketball.    Candid about her personal relationship with fellow WNBA player Isabelle Harrison, Cloud takes us through the challenges of being a Black gay woman, and how she struggled to reconcile her faith with her identity while balancing societal pressures and criticism. By overcoming constant battles, Cloud finds strength in embracing who she is through thick and thin and never lets what others think be of influence.    The guys talk about Cloud skipping the 2020 WNBA season to focus on social justice, the burden of constantly speaking out on important issues, and how she's learned the importance of self-care, acknowledging that while she wants to fight for change, she also understands that she can't pour from an empty cup.   This episode is about courage, resilience, and standing firm in who you are. Natasha Cloud's story is a beautiful one of pride, courage, love, family and proof that playing basketball is bigger than sports. Finding purpose in using her platform for change, she's a proven leader, and willing to stand on the shoulders of those who came before her to leave the game and world better for future generations of young women.  Learn more about your ad choices.
