The NBA has clearly stated a desire to expand its footprint in Europe. Jason claims that the preferential treatment afforded to French San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama directly correlates with that of the European audience after he avoided a flagrant foul in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Furthermore, Jason is perplexed by Wemby's apparent no-show for the national anthem before Game 3. Wemby has been designated a “made man” by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. Steve Kim adds his take on Wemby, in addition to Stephen A. Smith challenging President Donald Trump during a "First Take" diatribe on ESPN, and Pat McAfee is apparently in talks with ESPN for an extension, with the floor being $60 million per year. Maurice Drake Jr. and Charles Baker join Jason for the latest edition of As the WNBA Turns, with Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever being the focal point. ​​Today's Sponsors: PreBorn PreBorn has helped rescue more than 400,000 babies, and every single day, they continue that work by offering mothers something powerful and life-changing: an ultrasound.
