About this episode

Kirby and Sam discuss the NBA offseason, WNBA All-Star selections, and the implications of Dawn Staley's coaching candidacy.

This week, Kirby is joined by Sam to unpack the NBA offseason chaos and finally settle the question: who even won the Finals? Plus, buckle up as Kirby works through her internalized misogyny in a chaotic and cathartic conversation about whether the Knicks ever seriously considered hiring Dawn Staley as head coach. They also react to the WNBA All-Star selections, where Paige Bueckers shines as the only rookie on the roster, and put the three new WNBA expansion teams on the map. The Fever cooked the Lynx in the Commissioner's Cup Final without Caitlin Clark -- they're actually that good. And finally, we mourn the death of Love & Basketball in Dallas.
