Podcasts about Nneka Ogwumike

The Los Angeles Sparks sit at 15-25, headed for a sixth straight season without a playoff appearance, and Hoopsology brings in Sparks beat writer John W. Davis (Southern California News Group) for an unflinching look at how a franchise with every natural advantage in the league ended up here. John walks through the organizational chaos that's defined this stretch: four different head coaches since the drought began (Derek Fisher, interim Fred Williams, Curt Miller, and now Lynne Roberts), a revolving door of roster gambles that never got the runway to work, and a front office that kept trading the future for a present that never materialized — including dealing what became Dominique Malonga for Kelsey Plum after landing back-to-back No. 2 picks. He traces the fall from the Sparks' actual championship-caliber core of Candace Parker, Chelsea Gray, and Nneka Ogwumike, and explains why this season's collapse specifically comes down to one moment: Kelsey Plum, playing like a legitimate top-five player in the league, going down with an injury that the team simply had no answer for.

It's been a minute! After taking a little break, I'm back and, naturally, there is A LOT to talk about.I started this episode by talking about what I think a championship team actually looks and feels like, and what separates a team that can compete from a team that can actually win it all.From there, we've got plenty of hot topics: DeWanna Bonner joining the Atlanta Dream, Kate Martin being waived and where I'd like to see her go next, Nneka Ogwumike's retirement and what's going on with the Sparks, plus a quick conversation about the Mercury and some of their struggles this season.I also talked about A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum not joining Team USA for the World Cup, shared some pre-World Cup thoughts, and then went team-by-team through the playoff field. What do I love about each team? What could get them in trouble? And what am I most excited to see once the playoffs start?And because apparently that wasn't enough, there's a hot take, a little Portland Fire conversation (because yes, I already think they could be a playoff team next season), and some love for Bridget Carleton after her performance against the Lynx and why I thought she stepped into an All-Star mindset.Basically… I took a break, the WNBA kept moving, and now we have some catching up to do.-Follow me on social media:https://linktr.ee/toriphillips5-Chapters:00:00 Intro00:17 Topics for the episode & Housekeeping 02:23 Feeling a championship in the air03:30 Hot Topics | DeWanna Bonner to the Dream06:38 Kate Martin | Nneka Ogwumike & Thoughts on the Sparks 10:40 The Mercury? 12:41 Circling back on the Sparks & Kate 18:00 A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum | Choosing Health 21:24 Pre-World Cup Thoughts23:29 Checklist to Winning a Chip28:18 Lynx36:18 Valkyries 40:47 Aces 45:47 Fever 51:17 Dream56:35 Liberty 1:04:06 Mystics 1:08:27 Wings 1:12:48 MY HOTTEST TAKE01:13:17 Portland Fire (I Love Y'all for real)1:16:24 Bridget Carleton's Defense is Missed

Miguel is joined by sports journalist Zachary Draves about WNBA activism and labor struggles. Zachary covers the WNBA for SB Nation's Swish Appeal, and you can follow Zachary on X/Twitter @DravesZachary.  Zachary discuss his article on player responses to the ICE killings of Alex Pretti and Renée Good in Minneapolis, citing public statements from players including Breanna Stewart (who held an “Abolish ICE” sign), Paige Bueckers, and Angel Reese, and connects this to earlier WNBA activism in 2016 and during the 2020 “Bubble,” including the league's political organizing in Georgia. Miguel and Zachary also address growing women's sports media attention, Draves' article linking Jesse Jackson's civil rights legacy to the WNBA, and current CBA negotiations focused on increasing players' revenue share (from about 9–10% to 30%). Zachary also discusses his Sport and Society initiative and his forthcoming women's basketball history podcast, “She's Always Had Game."Note: This episode was recorded prior to the WNBA Players Association and the WNBA agreeing on a New Bargaining Agreement. Links:* It should be no surprise that WNBA players are not hesitating to speak out against ICE by Zachary Draves/SBNation Swish Appeal * The legacy of Rev.

WNBA fans, mark your calendars for March 10th. That's a key deadline that could determine when the teams actually hit the court. If the league and players can’t shake hands on a new collective bargaining agreement, or CBA, by next Tuesday, the 2026 season could be delayed. The Seattle Storm's Nneka Ogwumike is president of the WNBA players' union, and she's led the union as labor negotiations have progressed for over a year. The two sides are months past their original deadline for a deal. We talk about the key issues driving bargaining with a reporter covering the league.
