"Get back on the phone with Nike and you tell them next year, I'm bout to win MVP, I'm bout to take over the league, and if they don't re-sign me they're gonna look stupid." Jonquel Jones WNBA champion, NY Liberty Champion Tap in for this week's Friday episode of the Pivot in partnership with Fanatics for a feel-good conversation of sports, triumph and transcension that you don't want to miss. Ryan, Fred, and Channing host the one and only Jonquel Jones, 2024 WNBA Finals MVP and newly crowned champion with the New York Liberty. Fresh off a nail-biting overtime win against the Minnesota Lynx, Jonquel talks with us about what it means to finally reach the top after years of grit and grind. She takes us behind the scenes of her incredible journey from being a Bahamas native to becoming one of the WNBA's fiercest players, sharing how she's faced down defeat, overcome obstacles on and off the court, and stayed focused on the ultimate dream: a championship title. Jonquel opens up on how the WNBA has transformed in recent years, from deep storytelling to the skyrocketing fan engagement that's brought new life to the league. After 8 years in the league, JJ's experienced the evolution first hand, and gets candid about the struggles she and other players used to face, but now more than ever, people are tuning in to watch elite female athletes do what they do best. Beyond the stats and highlights, Jonquel is passionate about creating real change for the future of the game, hoping that one day players won't have to go overseas to make a living like she has to, and can thrive right here in the United States.  Off the court, Jonquel is a leader through handling tough issues with humor and humility. JJ reflects on her journey of self-discovery, from embracing her authentic self as a proud Black-Lesbian woman to realizing her power as a role model for young players. She shares a series of pivotal and emotional moments, like standing courtside before the Finals game and soaking in the reality of the record-breaking crowd of 18,090 she was playing in front of-- memories that will always remind her just how far she's come. And for sports fans, she dives into all her unfiltered thoughts on the WNBA- the good, the bad, and the ugly. From new talent like Caitlin Clark, the lack of platforms for players to tell their stories and get their flowers, and of course the future of women's sports as a whole. JJ speaks honestly on how much she respects Caitlin's approach to the game, the women who play it and defends Caitlin specifically vs the amount of pressure she bears while trying to be herself too. Jones goes on to share what it truly means to live your truth in a world that doesn't always understand. This episode is packed with honesty, inspiration, and the kind of wisdom only an MVP can bring! Tap in now, and be sure to subscribe to The Pivot Podcast.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The New York Liberty face the Minnesota Lynx for the championship in what has been a remarkable year for the WNBA. Attendance, attention and viewership skyrocketed. But throughout the season, superstar players Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese were dogged by toxic fans and coverage that was often sexist, racist, and just plain wrong from male sports journalists who knew little about the sport. On today's episode of A Word, Jason Johnson discusses the issues with sports writer David Dennis Jr. of Andscape. They talk about how the action on the court was often overshadowed by off-the-court drama, and what the league can do better next season.  Guest: David Dennis Jr., senior writer for Andscape and author of The Movement Made Us: A Father, a Son, and the Legacy of a Freedom Ride.
