The Phoenix Mercury are officially in their new era, and Media Day 2025 had all the energy we've been waiting for. In this episode, we're breaking down the biggest moments from Media Day — from Kahleah Copper talking about leading this squad, to Alyssa Thomas bringing that toughness to the desert, and Nate Tibbetts setting the tone in his second year as head coach of the Mercury. After saying goodbye to Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner, the Mercury reloaded fast, adding a new cornerstone in Satou Sabally, veteran sharpshooter Sami Whitcomb, and dominant post presence Kalani Brown to an already storied franchise. This squad is deep, hungry, and ready to make noise in 2025.

We're back! On this weeks episode we discuss Diana Taurasi and the amazing WNBA career that she has had and how she recently announced her retirement . DT's resume is extensive and she has given her all to basketball since her time at UConn, to the WNBA and also Team USA. We wish Diana much happiness on a well deserved retirement and cannot wait to see what she does next. We discussed LeBron James and Steph Curry but who even at their ages are still the elite and breaking records. Both are records that we are sure will stand for awhile before the next greats are able to surpass them. Lastly we touched on the drama that has happened in the world of sports. From the LBJ and Stephen A. Smith incident to the track & field incident that has left one track athlete with a concussion. Do you think LBJ needs to let Ronny be an adult since he is now in the league or was he warranted since he's a parent? Do you think that young lady hit that girl on purpose while she tried to pass her in the relay race? Let us know your thoughts on both!
In this episode, we dive into the excitement of March Madness and talk about predictions, team performances, and standout players. We break down each region and highlight some key matchups and potential upsets.We also touch on the upcoming musical tournament, showcasing the best musical artists of all time! We debate various bands in the alternative rock, metal, rap, and classic rock genres. We will talk about our frustrations with a few coaches and teams, and celebrate the legacy of a few key people, like Diana Taurasi and John Feinstein. Rooster offers a tribute to Junior Bridgeman, a self-made billionaire and former NBA star.
“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.

We talk beefs (beeves?), dig into Internet drama, and have fun. The NBA is now a 365-day league and it's never been more present in pop culture. From Kevin Durant's burner accounts to LeBron taking his talents anywhere to trusting the Process, the NBA is becoming a pop culture requirement. At the same time, sports can have gatekeepers that make it insular and frustrating for people who aren't die hard fans. We're here to prove that basketball is entertaining to follow for all fans, whether you're actively watching the games or not. Featured in The New York Times!

The Los Angeles Lakers have shown a beacon of hope for their fans, soaring to the second seed after a challenging start. This rise, led by a rejuvenated LeBron James and the transformative addition of Luka Doncic, has contributed significantly to their resurgence this season. While LeBron remains an MVP contender at 40, the spotlight on the Lakers also highlights the crucial role of 'Vando' and 'Dodo', who provide defensive might. The real question lingering in the halls of crypto.com arena is: Can they sustain this momentum and make a profound impact during the playoffs? Moving beyond the Lakers, the NBA landscape has been a mix of stunning performances and unforeseen challenges. Shea Gilgeous-Alexander, playing like a man on a mission, leads the NBA in points, often overshadowing seasoned players. Yet, it's not just about individual brilliance. The league is witnessing a transformation, with many teams redefining their strategies, adapting to the indefatigable demand for defense and cohesion. Yet, challenges persist. Karen Durant remains a figure of interest post his seafood restaurant rumors, and the haze around Anthony Edwards, despite his commendable performances, reflects a need for maturity amid rising fines and suspensions. It's also a season of record-breaking and prestigious achievements in sports history. Diana Taurasi, the legendary WNBA player, announced her retirement, leaving behind a legacy filled with records and awe-inspiring performances. From 84 years of marriage by the enduring couple Manuel Angelim Dino and Maria de Sousa Dino, breaking the Guinness World Record, to LeBron James etching his name with 1,000 career regular season wins, the theme of longevity and perseverance stands tall. No sports season would be complete without its share of controversies and dramas. Jimmy Butler's landlord issues in Miami and the Mavericks' head-turning 8% ticket price hike capture the inverse side of sports fame and fandom. These incidents serve as timely reminders of the pressures and pitfalls that accompany athletic success. While the league continues to thrive, the debate around who will emerge as the new face of the NBA remains abuzz. With seasoned veterans like LeBron stepping aside, younger talents like Tatum and Giannis are slowly taking the mantle. Yet, the landscape is ever-evolving, forcing us to ponder: Is America ready to embrace an international star as the face of their beloved NBA? As the basketball season unfolds, it's not just about the games. It's a tapestry of human stories, records being made and broken, the emergence of new talent, and the relentless pursuit of greatness. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual observer, these narratives resonate deeply, reminding us why sports hold such a cherished space in our culture.
