Team USA won another FIBA Women's World Cup, but Ric Bucher believes the tournament exposed a decision USA Basketball won't be able to avoid much longer: Is it time to stop worrying about hierarchy and start giving Caitlin Clark a bigger role?On this episode of On The Ball, Ric breaks down what Clark demonstrated while surrounded by elite talent — scoring when necessary, pushing tempo, creating shots for teammates and adapting her game to whatever Team USA needed. He also examines what the tournament revealed about Paige Bueckers, why Angel Reese and Clark may be far more compatible as teammates than their rivalry suggests, and why the shrinking gap between the U.S. and the rest of the world could soon make reputation-based rotation decisions costly.Then Ric uses a revelation about LeBron James' role in assembling the 2024 Olympic team to explain why the Michael Jordan-vs.-LeBron GOAT debate will never be resolved: their supporters aren't simply arguing over players — they're measuring greatness by fundamentally different standards.Ric also revisits the Clippers/Kawhi Leonard fallout, what some predictions about the Toronto trade misunderstood about the NBA's unwritten rules, and Pablo Torre's face-to-face question to Adam Silver about how the league vets its owners.Finally, Ric shares what he's hearing about NBA Europe, why its launch is struggling, EuroLeague's resistance to surrendering control, and one potential NBA strategy: lure several marquee EuroLeague clubs into a rival competition and let the league's financial muscle do the rest.TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Welcome to On The Ball01:28 – What's ahead: Team USA, Adam Silver and NBA Europe02:16 – Team USA's World Cup title draws record attention03:14 – Why playing the final during NFL Sunday wasn't Team USA's fault04:15 – What national-team basketball reveals about star hierarchy04:25 – Paige Bueckers vs. Caitlin Clark: what their roles revealed04:55 – What makes Clark more than a scorer05:32 – Clark adapts her game to Team USA's stars06:28 – Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese: rivals who actually fit together07:15 – What Reese gives Team USA — and what remains missing offensively07:48 – Could Clark and Reese's Team USA experience change their rivalry?08:55 – The international threat to American women's basketball09:30 – Italy nearly punctures Team USA's aura of invincibility10:29 – Why roster politics could eventually cost the U.S.10:44 – Kara Lawson's veteran starting lineup11:19 – Why Team USA looked different with Clark running the offense11:44 – Is USA Basketball underusing Caitlin Clark?12:14 – How Clark changed her game to fit Team USA13:07 – What LeBron James reportedly did to assemble the 2024 Olympic team13:50 – The fundamental difference between Jordan and LeBron15:21 – LeBron's approach: get as much help as possible16:03 – Why Jordan and LeBron supporters will never agree16:48 – “Jordan's dominance was visceral.

From politics to sports, business, and tech, the rich are breaking the rules, looking out for their friends, and still getting rewarded in the end—maybe with the help of a little trip to the White House with a POTUS gift in hand.

And in this Trump era, when accountability is so scarce, Pablo shows with his Pulitzer-winning reporting on the LA Clippers that consequences are still possible. Plus: Trump fatigue seems to be settling in, Fetterman only cares about fighting with other Democrats, the NCAA doesn't like capitalism, and the WNBA may be on the cusp of a heyday.
