00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: Every once I had a cannon in the back again,

39
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: just wanted to be in the mix. We did say

40
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: that we wanted to do a little Q and A episode,

41
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: so I think that's what we're going to do today.

42
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: Answer some of these.

43
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 3: Questions that were and to me on threads and some

44
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: of the things I saw in the YouTube comments. So again,

45
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 3: this episode short and sweet. It's gonna be fun. And yeah,

46
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: where do you want to start? Which you want to

47
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 3: start with first?

48
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: I think we start out hot.

49
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: I love this question, how do you define a dynasty?

50
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 3: That's a great way to start this because we can

51
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 3: quickly talk about the Aces and their championship parade. Yes,

52
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: and I obviously didn't watch the parade. I just saw

53
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 3: all of the social clips. I don't know if Ma,

54
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: you were tuned in. I don't know if it was

55
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: who was They was all on live live streaming. I

56
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: will say it was not the same without Sydney Coulson's

57
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 3: live streaming.

58
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

59
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 3: During the festivities, I will say I miss that. But

60
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 3: the highlight for me personally was seeing Kirstabel in that

61
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 3: pink wig, like, no, hilarious, like and then it was

62
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: and then suddenly it was off. Was like, bro, I thought,

63
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 3: you have to commit to the pink wig.

64
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: It was an Asian shirt for me, the back of

65
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: Asian shirt being petty for me.

66
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: I love that. I one of my bigg one of

67
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: the back of her shirts say, oh my gosh, I.

68
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: Said re apostrophe aggression because somebody tweeted that they didn't

69
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: expect for this to be her regression year whatever whatever,

70
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: and it was like regression question mark. And then she

71
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: had the Thanos rings and so she was being petty.

72
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: The Thano's hand was crazy. Yeah. I was like, oh

73
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: she I'm like oh she popping it, Yes, as she should.

74
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: The back of her shirt said re apostrophe regression.

75
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: I think didn't everybody.

76
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: I think everybody had like a personal shirt y'all have

77
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: Tom pissed the aces off all summer long.

78
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: I blame y'all for why they did what they did.

79
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: I mean supposed to.

80
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: You're supposed to do that, like talk your mess and

81
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: come back and wear shirts. You know they're.

82
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: Supposed to know. But like, but it ain't.

83
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: Nobody Like every player had like their own individual beef

84
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: with an anonymous a non account on Twitter or on Instagram,

85
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: like everyone every Like, it wasn't just one tweet that

86
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 3: pissed everyone off. Every player had a very specific thing

87
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: that was said about them and they put on the shirt.

88
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: That's one of my fearst covering sports is that I'm

89
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: going to say something od at the beginning of a

90
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: season or when something is going.

91
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: Wrong and be like they they are terrible or this,

92
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: that that.

93
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: And then it comes back to bite me later, like

94
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: them wearing a T shirt with my tweet on it,

95
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: or you know those yes, you know those edits where

96
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: it's like, we don't think the Golden State Warriors win

97
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: in that championship, we think the regression, yes, and then

98
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: it's highlights.

99
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: I'm ter, that's why we don't do hot That's why

100
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: we don't do hot takes here, Yes, because we we

101
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: know how sports are, we know how quickly things can change.

102
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 3: And if you get stuck doing hot takes all the time,

103
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 3: you go get put on a T shirt, TikTok edit

104
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: or something like that. So, I mean, I do remember

105
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: when we were talking about in the beginning of the year,

106
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,119
Speaker 3: how the sky weren't going to be able to play

107
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: a certain way, and someone tried to make it into

108
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 3: something it wasn't on the internet, and I'm like, I

109
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 3: wonder what that person is doing right now.

110
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: Well, that turned out to be the opposite of what

111
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm afraid of.

112
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: We were exactly right.

113
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: We were exactly correct, And sometimes I don't want to

114
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: be correct. Sometimes you just call something how it is

115
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 3: and if you happen to be correct, cool, If you

116
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 3: happen to be wrong, cool, But the hot takes the

117
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 3: direct shots at people's character, personality.

118
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: Da da da da da.

119
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: Like calling this a regression year was so crazy because

120
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 3: the aces were not winning, but Asia was still playing really.

121
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: Well right and was same, the aces are going to

122
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: regress this year. He was saying that Asia Wilson personally

123
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: was going to regress.

124
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 2: This exactly, yeah, exactly, Yeah, I know she.

125
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 3: I know she hit favorite screenshots. She put it in

126
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: a private folder, she put it in her bedroom, put

127
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: it in her locker, put it in her suitcase every

128
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: time she packed for the road trip, like she was waiting.

129
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 2: She couldn't wait.

130
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, the pettiness of that team, like we said

131
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 3: last week, is hilarious. I think every I love that

132
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 3: they gave the mic to like a few of their players.

133
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 3: Like usually it's just like the stars of the of

134
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 3: the team that talk at the parade. I think Meg

135
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: and Gustison spoke on the mic, Dana spoke on the mic.

136
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 3: Jewels like everyone was talking, and you could tell that

137
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: this championship just was super.

138
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 4: Special to them well, and it was really nice to

139
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 4: see they've won so many times in the last few

140
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 4: years that most of those people have already got this

141
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 4: week on the mic and the parade, they're like.

142
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: Y'all got it. They might as well spread the love,

143
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: right right.

144
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: Becky was cutting up, Oh my god, Yeah, you know

145
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: what's so funny. It's like the championship parade because when

146
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: we had ours in Chicago, we was cutting up. But

147
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: like when I tell you, like our season was like

148
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 3: the last season before the WNBA like blew up like crazy,

149
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: like as far as like the personalities and all that stuff,

150
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: and I was like our team was like I love

151
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 3: that Chicago Sky team, and I feel like that championship

152
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 3: we had like it was celebrated for like five minutes.

153
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: Like I remember, I'm pretty sure like we won on

154
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: like a Saturday.

155
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: The parade was like on a Tuesday, and I personally

156
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 3: was in France like that next week, playing my next

157
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 3: season already.

158
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: I always wonder women's basketball time moved so quickly with everything.

159
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: It's it's we're saying we're on a down period today and.

160
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,679
Speaker 1: Week it's gonna be like so much going on again,

161
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: But there's so much quick turnaround. Y'all are always on

162
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: the move.

163
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: Like people are already playing overseas, like people are already

164
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: playing full games overseas right now. And the WNBA season

165
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: just ended a week and a half ago, not even

166
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 3: like for example, And we're gonna get back to the

167
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 3: initial question, which what a dynasty is in a second,

168
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: like Mac McKenzie on our team. She's in Australia, like

169
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: she's already playing. She's been in Australia for like two

170
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: weeks now, so it's like it moves quickly. I've seen

171
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 3: a bunch of players in Turkey playing. Kaylea McBride just

172
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: touched down in Turkey, and I think everyone was like shocked.

173
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 3: But kay Mick loves hooping overseas, so I know everyone

174
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 3: was like, why is she playing unrivaled well because maybe

175
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: she wanted to play five on five I don't know,

176
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: but she loves playing in Turkey and playing in euro League.

177
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 3: I personally would love I still have a dream of

178
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 3: playing in euro League. I don't know if I'm able

179
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: to because I don't know if I can go over there,

180
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 3: But some of them play over there for like two

181
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: three months, like they dibble and dabble. Like Monique Billings

182
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 3: is over there playing right now, and I don't know

183
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 3: if she's staying for the whole year because she's playing

184
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 3: on rivals pretty.

185
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: Sure, so that would ever be possibility for me.

186
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 3: I would love to go playing EuroLeague for like a

187
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 3: month or two, but we'll see. We have a lot

188
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: of things going on in the States. I just don't

189
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 3: want to leave. But it could be an experience.

190
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: We do the pod Global, that'd be fire, that'd be fire.

191
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: You talk to some of the international girls.

192
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, so maybe next year we can we can explore overseas.

193
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 3: But okay, back to the answer for what is a dynasty.

194
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: So the literal definition of a dynasty. So you know

195
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: how we always say it means four more like, no,

196
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 3: that's that's not even the definition of a dynasty. So

197
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 3: a dynasty in sports me a team or individual who

198
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: dominates their sport for an extended period, typically marked by

199
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: winning multiple championships and achieving sustain and success. While historical

200
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: definitions require consecutive championships, modern interpretations are more flexible and

201
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: can include winning three or more titles within a five

202
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 3: to ten year span. So that makes the ass dynasty.

203
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: That makes them a dynasty for sure. Three championships in

204
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: the last four years. I think because the WNBA has

205
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 3: had such dominant teams. You have the Houston Comments who

206
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: won four, you have the Links who won four. I

207
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: think that's always been the standard. But I would I'm

208
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 3: throwing I'm throwing this Aces team in there.

209
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree because the time period is so short.

210
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: I will say.

211
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: Part of me does want to say it's for because

212
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: for for to sounds for to sounds out.

213
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: That makes sense in my brain.

214
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: But because I mean three in the last four years,

215
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: that's a very short time period, and it spans across

216
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: a period, like you said, right after that Chicago Sky

217
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: Championship and things blowing up in the w all these

218
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: new w fans really know is the Aces wedding, Like

219
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: that's all they know. Like they they have established themselves

220
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: as we are the team who wins the championship to

221
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: this new era of fans, and I think that adds

222
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: something to it. And I mean, spanning across sports, you

223
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: typically start to consider a team a dynasty once they

224
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: win three, I would say, especially if two of them

225
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: are back to back Kansas City Chiefs. There are three,

226
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: but in the MMBA, most of them we consider them

227
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: dynasties after four.

228
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

229
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: I guess the MMBA geez.

230
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: I will say that.

231
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: In this context when the most recent dynasty in the

232
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 3: NBA was the Golden State War years, and I think

233
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 3: their dominance coupled with how they transformed how the NBA

234
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: is played now, I think that's what made them stand

235
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 3: out so much, and why, you know, compared to other

236
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: teams that won a bunch of championships, why everyone always

237
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: goes right to the Golden State Warriors as like one

238
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: of the most dominant dynasties in NBA history. And I

239
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 3: think we're gonna say the same things about the Aces

240
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 3: because they are.

241
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: They have transformed how basketball is being played in the WNBA.

242
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: And I thought that back when they won their first championship,

243
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: the way that they were playing, the way Becky came

244
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 3: in and just ran the table initially, the way she

245
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 3: utilized all the stars that she had on her team,

246
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 3: you know, having four All Stars or almost I think

247
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: I think one season it was all five of them,

248
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 3: Like being able to do that in the WNBA. I

249
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: always tell say how hard it is to spread minutes

250
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 3: and shot attempts and what I ever to how much

251
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 3: talent is in this league.

252
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: And the way Becky was able.

253
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 3: Just to come in and do that with that team

254
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 3: full of number one picks, you know.

255
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 2: You have superstars on your team, was very impressive.

256
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 3: And I don't know why more coaches haven't like followed

257
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 3: her lead, because she literally is the blueprint right now.

258
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 3: And I think the way Asia has developed as a player,

259
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 3: how she's expanded her game, how she's gotten better every

260
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 3: single year, is something that you know, you you don't

261
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: see in a lot of organizations and a lot of

262
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 3: franchises one because players don't stay on one team for

263
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 3: as that long, like that is not normal in the

264
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 3: W and I hope that becomes the new norm when

265
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 3: you have players and groups that stay together for like

266
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: four or five six seasons, because that's really how you

267
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 3: win championships together. I think the Minnesota Lynx dynasty was

268
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 3: super impressive because they weren't They weren't only winning those championships,

269
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: they were always in the finals as well. So even

270
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 3: if they didn't win that year, they was in the finals.

271
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 3: That's a great point. So that's a great point. They

272
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 3: were in the finals for like seven straight years or something.

273
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: Crazy like that is a great point. Spanning across sports,

274
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: you do feel as though a dynasty is there. You

275
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: stamp their name already in the finals, conference finals, semi finals, whatever,

276
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: You kind of already stamp them to be there because.

277
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: They're so good. And that makes more sense to me.

278
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: Why earlier I was saying, Okay, well, sometimes like with

279
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, they won three, so I would, but they

280
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: also win their division every single year. And it's but

281
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: that also adds to the aces point of having.

282
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: Asia be this shoe in MVP.

283
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: We even compared her to Yokichen the sense where it's

284
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: like or the Lebron or a Jordan, where it's like,

285
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: you can't win every year, so you might eventually it's

286
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: going to be voted fatigue. Right, So when you have

287
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: a player like that who was winning Defensive Players of

288
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: the Years awards and winning MVP awards and winning finals MVP,

289
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: and so her name is always out there, then you've

290
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: got Becky who her name is always out there when

291
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: it comes to coaching.

292
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 2: And then you've.

293
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: Got all of their players being this, oh, number one pick,

294
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: she was number one pick.

295
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: Oh, she's an All star too.

296
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: Oh, and she just came from this situation where she

297
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: was the main girl and now she's coming off the

298
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: bench here. It's like it's kind of a compilation of

299
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: just winners there, and so that gives them that dynasty prowess.

300
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't think it's just championships.

301
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: No, and I think it's again culture, it's everything.

302
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: So the fact that even the season that they started

303
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: to have, everyone was so super critical of them, but like,

304
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 3: that's the expectation you set for yourself, and the fact

305
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 3: that they were able to pull themselves out of that

306
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: rough start is a credit to the culture they've created,

307
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 3: the players that they have, the coaching, the development, all

308
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 3: of those things.

309
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: So shout out to the Aces. They are a dynasty.

310
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 3: If they want another one, it's you know, definitely a dynasty.

311
00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 3: But I'm just very interested to see, like who's stays

312
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 3: and goes with this new CBA, like if we are

313
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 3: able to get that done. But there was a question

314
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: about the CBA, so we'll get to that later. This

315
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 3: is a really good question too. This question was what

316
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: do you think the big trends will be in the

317
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 3: WNBA next year? I love this As a spectator, Mariah,

318
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: what would you like to see more of in our game?

319
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: Like as a fan, we talk about these things all

320
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: the time.

321
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: I feel like I broke a record, but spreading the

322
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: love as far as minutes are concerned, simply because I

323
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: don't want to see as many injuries next year at all.

324
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: I would love to see the love spread a little

325
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: bit more as far as minutes are concerned youth teams

326
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: using their benches. Okay, I don't want everybody. I don't

327
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: want to torn the acls left and right. I don't

328
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: want to see that. So I would love to see

329
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: teams use their pinches a little bit more or you.

330
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: We talk about this all the time.

331
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: I love I love threes, love love threes. So I'm

332
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: cool with lived by the three, dad by the three situation.

333
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: I would love to see more.

334
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,239
Speaker 1: Shooters out there, which I feel like is also dip

335
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: it into your bench a little bit. Just letting the

336
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: shooters go out there and shoot. That would be very

337
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: nice because I love like Caitlyn Clark in college shooting

338
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: from the logo and I just love that stuff. I

339
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: would love to see that. I'm okay, we just got

340
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: done talking about the aces. I wore an aces jersey

341
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: on here, love them down, Love you Asia.

342
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: I would like to see new champion, see another team.

343
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: I would like to see a new champion. I would

344
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: love to see that.

345
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: I'd like to see a new champion, maybe a new

346
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: rivalry brew But I feel like it's hard for me

347
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: to make predictions when I have no idea where anybody

348
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: other than you is going to play but yeah, my

349
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: main thing would just be I would like for it

350
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: to be more of a trend to dip into your

351
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: bench more and to have steady backups for your stars

352
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: so that they can get a little bit more rest. Yeah.

353
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 3: I agree, And it is because we are at like

354
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 3: a hard reset right now. Like you know, you guys

355
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 3: like research your whole phone to factory settings, Like I

356
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: feel like that's what we're at in the WNBA, and

357
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: that has never happened in sports before.

358
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, ever, the entire league being free agents.

359
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 3: When I found out about that, which I knew about,

360
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 3: like I said, when I signed my extension, I knew

361
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 3: that everyone was planning on being a free agent when

362
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 3: the CBA expired. At first, I thought it was like

363
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 3: really cool, Like that's awesome that everyone is going to

364
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 3: be able to basically.

365
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: Be free to do whatever.

366
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 3: Now that I've sat with that for some years, months, whatever,

367
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 3: it's actually ridiculous that everybody is a free agent. It's

368
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 3: actually insane, and I don't know what to expect. I'm

369
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 3: still very much excited to see the movement, but I

370
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 3: still don't have that much faith in a lot of

371
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 3: these front offices.

372
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: So it could be amazing or it could be horrible

373
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: and I don't know.

374
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 3: This coupled with the CBA not being done yet, like

375
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 3: could turn this into a real shit show.

376
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: Well honestly, I also as a spectator, I forgot about this.

377
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: Another trend I want to see next year slash I

378
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: don't know. I want to get I want to get

379
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: your take on this. But one of my favorite things

380
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: about the W.

381
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 2: Is the physicality.

382
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I want people to get her every

383
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: day or the thing that happened to feed or the

384
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: drama I'm not I'm not condoning any violence in the W.

385
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm just saying I enjoy that. Like

386
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: the fact that WBA player I was watching with my

387
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: boyfriend and he was like, I would rather watch this

388
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: in the NBA because it's like they don't be playing

389
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: defense and this is more fun to me. So like, well,

390
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: I like how y'all play defense. I want the roughing

391
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: to get better, but I don't want that to be

392
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: taken as take all the physicality out of the game.

393
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: I know you don't like to get hit.

394
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: LEXI watching I'm like, I would like a little bit

395
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: of that, to say, I don't want people getting her

396
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,239
Speaker 1: being reckless, but I don't want the physicality to go.

397
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that leads into the conversation about

398
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 3: having like the part time refs. You know, you have

399
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 3: some refs that are in college, they come to the

400
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 3: w they go to the NBA. College rules are different overseas,

401
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: and then you have players that are overseas, where like

402
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 3: y'all thought this was physical, overseas is like times ten,

403
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 3: Which is why player we play the way that we

404
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 3: play because so many of us spent time at Europe

405
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 3: playing where it's it is worse as far as the

406
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 3: physicality goes like overseas. Like when my first year overseas,

407
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my gosh, I was like I

408
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 3: was blown away at the physicality overseas. And that's why,

409
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 3: you know, when players come back over here, they play

410
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 3: the way that they play. I think that with these refs,

411
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 3: they have to study the women's game, like it's changing.

412
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 3: We have more skilled players, we have more athletic players,

413
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 3: so you're gonna have to ref a little bit differently.

414
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: And yeah, some players like you're gonna know better than others,

415
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 3: and they might get favorable calls if you're refing their

416
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 3: game because that's a player that you're more familiar with,

417
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 3: like that, everyone's human. I understand that, But I do

418
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 3: think that what people love about the w NBA is

419
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 3: the physicality how we like to play defense. But there's

420
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 3: there has to be a bounce because the game has

421
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 3: to become more fluid, because there are times where it's

422
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: hard to watch and it's even harder to play. My

423
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,719
Speaker 3: issue is always been with the freedom of movement, Like

424
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: once I'm guarding you i have the ball, I'm off

425
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: of the physicality. When I don't have the ball and

426
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get to where i need to go,

427
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 3: you have to be I have to be able to

428
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 3: go where I need to go without you holding me

429
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 3: down or football holding me Like I could gather clips

430
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 3: of players just being wrapped and held, and yeah, you

431
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: can do that to an extent, but to when it

432
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 3: gets to the point where I can even run in

433
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 3: a straight line without you just laying me out, Like

434
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 3: that's not that's not.

435
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 2: How basketball is supposed to be played.

436
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 3: But we'll see how the refing goes next season. I mean,

437
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 3: we have some of the WNBA refs come REFAU and

438
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 3: for me, I think AU like I mean, we score.

439
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 3: Like in the nineties, every game pretty much like our game,

440
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 3: is very fluid. So I'm really excited for people to

441
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 3: tune into Athletes Unlimited because I think we'll have a

442
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 3: lot more eyes on it this year than any years

443
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 3: in the past. And I've we personally haven't had too

444
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 3: many complaints about the officiating and au but we promote

445
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: like a more free, flowing, fluid game anyway, and that's

446
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 3: like how people come in. And then obviously people don't

447
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: want to get hurt in the off season things like that.

448
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 3: So I know y'all like the WWE. I know y'all

449
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 3: like the spiciness.

450
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: I know y'all like that, but I don't.

451
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: Really like, of course you out, Yeah, we're just watching,

452
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: But what do you think they're trying to be?

453
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 3: I think one of the biggest trends I think this

454
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 3: is just my opinion, guys.

455
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: Okay, the re emergence of a true point guard.

456
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 3: And what I mean by that is past first point

457
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: guards that can score. Obviously, everyone is, like I said,

458
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: more skilled, but the last five WNBA championships have been

459
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 3: won by true point guards. Chelsea Gray, sue Bert, and

460
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 3: Courtney Vanderslute have all won the last in the last

461
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 3: five years, Chelsea obviously has won three SUE one, one

462
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 3: and twenty twenty, and then Courtney vanderslute one two, one

463
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 3: with Chicago and one with New.

464
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 2: York last year.

465
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 3: So I think point guard is a lost art in

466
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 3: the women's game. I really do, which is why we're

467
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 3: going to college real quick, which is why everyone is

468
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 3: so enamored by Olivia Miles because we don't see we

469
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 3: haven't seen a point guard like that in college in

470
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 3: a long time. Like it's been like Kaitlyn as far

471
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 3: as passing ability, it's been like Kaitlyn Clark, and now

472
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 3: was Olivia Miles in my opinion as far as their

473
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 3: IQ and passing ability.

474
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 2: I think that's why.

475
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 3: Last year when she did declare, the WBA almost exploded

476
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 3: because I feel like there's just so many teams that

477
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 3: are that are needing a true point guard, and I

478
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 3: think that that is going to be a hot commodity

479
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 3: and free agency. I think it's going to be a

480
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 3: hot commodity in the draft this upcoming draft. But I

481
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 3: have I have yet to like play real minutes with

482
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 3: a true true point guard. For well, I played with

483
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: Jordan Canada, and I would consider her a true point guard,

484
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 3: and I had a really successful season as her with

485
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 3: her as my point guard. But we had our one

486
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 3: season together and then my second year she was my

487
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,479
Speaker 3: point guard, I got sick and then she ended up

488
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 3: going to the Dream So I haven't really had any

489
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 3: long stints with the true point guard. I played point

490
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 3: guard all through college. I really would love to get

491
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 3: back to that position. I think I'm a natural one

492
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 3: that has been pushed to the two because I can shoot.

493
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 3: So I would love to like dabble back and forth

494
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 3: between the one and the two because I do think

495
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 3: I have, you know, high level playmaking abilities. But obviously

496
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: I'm not going to put myself in the category of

497
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 3: like a Chelsea Gray assue a salute because they're different.

498
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 3: But I mean, if you look at the trends of

499
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 3: who's winning these championships, it's teams that have true point guards.

500
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 3: So we're going to see what happens in this free

501
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 3: agency because it's a last start, and even in the

502
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: NBA you're seeing that re emerge a little bit as well.

503
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 3: You know, having true point guards, I can play make

504
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 3: but also score handle the ball.

505
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 2: So that's what I think that that's a great point.

506
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: Why do you think in the woman's game that we

507
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: obviously talked about the warrior effect.

508
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 2: And that it had.

509
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: On basketball, but why in the women's game, where did

510
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: that impact come from? Typically it's like a team wins

511
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: the championship and then everybody becomes them.

512
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 3: But what do you think, Oh this is I mean,

513
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 3: I could get really deep dive into this. I think

514
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 3: the development at the for young players on the women's

515
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 3: side is like nonexistent, And we see the guys complaining

516
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 3: about aau's killing everything and peak kids only know how

517
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 3: to train just one on one. They don't know how

518
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 3: to play in live game situations. They just know how

519
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 3: to dribble a thousand times instead of learning how to

520
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 3: make the right play. And if the guys feel that way,

521
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 3: like it's probably even worse on the women's side because

522
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 3: we already have less resources and trainers and development than

523
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 3: the men do, just like just off the strength of

524
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 3: being girls.

525
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: So I just.

526
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 3: Feel like the game is just not being taught the

527
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 3: right way to players at a young age.

528
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 2: And now we're in.

529
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 3: This era of highlights and let's make a video of

530
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 3: this and that, and people only value scoring. So I

531
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 3: feel like it starts at the It starts very very young.

532
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: So when you.

533
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 3: Have players make it through college and have a high

534
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 3: i Q, you're always kind of like, oh, whoa IQ

535
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 3: does exist. It's still there, like people are still working

536
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 3: on their craft and being students of the game. But

537
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: that's been We've been complaining about AAU and stuff like

538
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 3: that for years and I haven't been to an AU

539
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 3: tournament in a long time, but the last one I

540
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 3: went to, I was like, what is.

541
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 2: Going on here?

542
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 3: Like it was just bad. And then there's like eighty

543
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: games going on at once. There's five thousand teams, Like

544
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 3: no one is really being taught how to play basketball

545
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: the right way.

546
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 2: And I think that's the problem.

547
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: That's concerning because I always considered as a spectator trends

548
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: in basketball to come from what's working at the top,

549
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: and then everybody kind of wants to do that, which

550
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: makes the kids want to do that.

551
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: Steph Curry is a point guard.

552
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: And he shoots from he he he once he brings

553
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: the ball up, he shoots immediately, so does.

554
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: He pass half court? So that's what kids do.

555
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 1: Right, And yeah, nobody makes TikTok edits of good passes, right,

556
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean I guess somebody's probably making them, but they

557
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: don't make that many assess exactly, so yeah, it's probably

558
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: not as like to them.

559
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean, I know everyone has seen like

560
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 3: Steph Curry's pregame routine, his ball handling, roots shooting routine,

561
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 3: like yeah, it's like amazing. So it's very monotonous as well.

562
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 3: Like I remember growing up, the drills that I was

563
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 3: doing with my dad like very boring. You do the

564
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 3: same thing over and over again, and then you fast

565
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 3: forward to the middle of your professional career and people

566
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 3: are just seeing, you know, you shooting threes and winning championships,

567
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: but not knowing all of the hours and hours and

568
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 3: hours of you put in growing up to get to

569
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 3: this point. And I think that's what's being missed.

570
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: I read that Asia Wilson when she first started playing

571
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: basketball with her dad, thought it was torture.

572
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

573
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I think even like there's a whole thing

574
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 3: about like the girl girls dropping out of sports that

575
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 3: like way faster than boys drop out of sports, Like

576
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 3: I can't imagine. Like I was even talking to one

577
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 3: of my friends yesterday and she said that her dad

578
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 3: was like this athlete and she just wasn't very athletic,

579
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 3: but he was like wanted her to play sports so

580
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 3: so bad, and it like turned horrible for her, Like

581
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 3: she couldn't even enjoy doing anything because her dad puts

582
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 3: so much pressure on her.

583
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: And I feel like a.

584
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 3: Lot of people might feel that way, Like it's not fun.

585
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 3: It's not always fun, like growing up going to work

586
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 3: and working out like seventy percent of the time until

587
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 3: I was like sixteen, seventeen years old, it was not fun.

588
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 2: It was it was torture. It was hard. But that's

589
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 2: when you really like discover like who has the.

590
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 3: Potential to be a pro and who doesn't because it's

591
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 3: not it's not easy, Like it's hard.

592
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 2: It's hard more times than it is easy.

593
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: One hundred percent, and you lose more than you win.

594
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: It's not Sports are not for the week and most

595
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: of the time you're in practice, especially in high school

596
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: and in a you like in volleyball and club, you're

597
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: in practice most of the time. And then you get

598
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: to play like on the weekends a couple times a

599
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: week so most and hopefully you win more than you lose.

600
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: But at a young age, you're winning, losing, winning, losing.

601
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: It's only fun when you win. It sucks when you lose,

602
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: so it's not fun.

603
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 2: Most of the time.

604
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: But that's a whole other side point of how I

605
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: think kids we're going to do a scary point because

606
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: there's so much quick value. I can't remember the right

607
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: way to say that with TikTok and.

608
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 3: Everything, participation, participation trophy.

609
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: Yes, everybody when they don't win now, they don't get that.

610
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: They want to quit it later.

611
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: They don't like it, and that can't continue.

612
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 3: No, and it's okay to lose, Like you don't want

613
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 3: to lose, but it's okay to lose. Sometimes you just

614
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 3: have to learn your lesson and keep it moving. But

615
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 3: I completely agree with you, Like, I'm very scared for

616
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 3: this next generation of kids because the like, people just

617
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 3: don't know how.

618
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 2: To handle failure.

619
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 3: People don't know how to handle criticism, and people don't

620
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 3: know how to grow from their experiences. I'm just talking

621
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 3: about sports. We're just talking about yea sports Tom Brady

622
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 3: was I forgot where he was talking about. I saw

623
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: a video. Basically he feels the same way, like this

624
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 3: era of instant gratification and players not learning how to

625
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 3: get through hard to situation or you know, dealing with

626
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 3: maybe a coach that they don't like, or dealing with

627
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 3: team is that they don't like, or learning that success

628
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 3: is not just yours, like, it's a team and sometimes

629
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 3: if you win, it's about everybody. If you lose, it's

630
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 3: also about everybody. People point fingers too much. All of

631
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 3: those types of things is just oh, it's ruining. It's

632
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 3: ruining sports. It's it makes me sad because sports are

633
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 3: supposed to be fun, but it's just turned into a beast.

634
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 2: But that's what happens when things are money money. At

635
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 2: the end of the day, I will.

636
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: Say, wall sports wall sports are supposed to be fun.

637
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: For example, me, I'm not a professional athlete, obviously, but

638
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: I spent my entire life most of probably ninety percent

639
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: of my life up until the time I was eighteen,

640
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: was spent on sports, and then the other ten percent

641
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: spent in school. So I'm like, but I feel like

642
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: being involved in sports taught me so much, just discipline

643
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: and failing and getting back up and having different experiences and.

644
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 2: Social situations like being in sports.

645
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: You are experiencing this as an adult in your career now,

646
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: but I'm experiencing a different way. You have a boss,

647
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: and you have a coach, and you have a manager,

648
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: and you have these people that you turn to, and

649
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: you have these teammates and you have captains, and there's hierarchy.

650
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: Like you learn those things in sports, and it's not

651
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: supposed to be everybody's not the captain, everybody can't play,

652
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: some people sit on the bench.

653
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 2: Like you learn those things through sports.

654
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: I feel like, especially for women, it's really important for

655
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: us to experience that.

656
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's like there is a healthy competitiveness even

657
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 3: within your own teams, and I feel like even not

658
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 3: work or something like there's a healthy competitiveness, but there's

659
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 3: also a cohesion that you have to have if you're

660
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 3: working with a.

661
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: Group of people.

662
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 3: I can't imagine what I would because I'm already kind

663
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 3: of like I don't like to call myself anti, but

664
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 3: like I if I didn't have sports, I don't even

665
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 3: know if I would have any friends.

666
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 2: Like sports has.

667
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 3: He has helped me so much in so many different

668
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 3: ways out side of just actually getting to the WNBA.

669
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 2: So I encourage, I mean, I do always encourage.

670
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 3: People to like put their kids in sports and like

671
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 3: not always for them to like be super good at them.

672
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 3: But it's like, just just with the way people are

673
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 3: now and the way the world is, I feel like

674
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 3: sports is something that is always going to be a unifier,

675
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 3: and it keeps you in shape, it keeps you healthy,

676
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 3: make some friends, Maybe you win, hey, maybe you will

677
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 3: become a professional athlete. I don't know, but I've always

678
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 3: been a big proponent of kids playing sports.

679
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: That's why the WNBA and everything that's happening right now

680
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: is so important though, because I think little boys get

681
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: this opportunity to grow up with this dream of they

682
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: can go pro and anything and be a millionaire and

683
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: be rich and do whatever, Like they can pick any

684
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: sports they want and it would benefit them all the

685
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:49,479
Speaker 1: same and.

686
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 2: Woo yay sports. I'm a boy. And women.

687
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: The careers that are kind of glamorized for us as

688
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: like making your dreams come true is very entertainment and

689
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: based like oh, I want to be a model, I

690
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: want to be an actress, I want to do that

691
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: and this and.

692
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 2: That, and now in this new era, women like you.

693
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: Women like Angel, women like Sunny Lee, wom like simallon

694
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: bios like, I think it's really important for y'all not

695
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: to be put in a box as just oh, I'm

696
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: a basketball player, but you can see all of the

697
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: different places that sports can bring you, like Angel Rees

698
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: being good at basketball and all of those probably annoying

699
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: workouts and practices she had to go through got her

700
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: the Victoria's Secret.

701
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 2: Runway, Sudy Lee, same thing.

702
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 1: She gets to travel the world and win gold medals

703
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 1: and stuff and then go walk with the Victoria's Secret

704
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: Runway and work with Lululemon, and that you get to

705
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: do media and be on TV and be on podcasts

706
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: and work with Fashion Nova and do your thing, you

707
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like you get to experience some

708
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: of the things because of your sport.

709
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 2: I think it's important for girls to get to see that.

710
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 3: And I'm glad that now, like this is all happening,

711
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 3: and I know for me, like when the Victoria's Secret

712
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 3: Thing happened, like my timeline was overwhelmingly positive, Like I loved.

713
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,479
Speaker 2: It, same, I just see it was really yeah, I.

714
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 3: Saw it like eventually, but then I'm like not interested,

715
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 3: not interested, not interested, Like I've really enjoyed seeing how

716
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 3: positive that was received, how positively that was received, at

717
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 3: least in my in my bubble, it was very it

718
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 3: was very positively received. And I remember, I wasn't gonna

719
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 3: tell this story, guys, I would tell it.

720
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 2: So when I got drafted, there was a coach. I'm

721
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: not going to say what coach.

722
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 3: There was a coach, and this message was brought this,

723
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 3: this was brought to my attention very recently that said

724
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 3: that I wasn't gonna make it in this league because

725
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 3: I rolled my shorts and they don't do that.

726
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 2: That's not something that we do in the w NBA.

727
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 2: So that was just eight years eight short years ago.

728
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 3: That was the sentiment towards just me rolling my shorts

729
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 3: a little bit and she's not gonna make it.

730
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 2: We don't do that here. And now we got players

731
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 2: walking the Victoria's Secret runway.

732
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 3: So and modeling for skims and modeling for skims, makeup, hair,

733
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 3: all of the things. I'm just so happy that, like

734
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 3: you just said, the box, the box no longer exists.

735
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: There's no box anymore.

736
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: That's so funny because Asia literally rolls her shorts. Probably

737
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: ten thousand million.

738
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 2: Everybody rolls their shorts.

739
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 3: And the only reason why I rolled my shorts in

740
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 3: college was because the shorts were ugly and they fit funny,

741
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 3: like I just didn't like the way they looked, and

742
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 3: they still look goofy when I roll them, Like it

743
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 3: wasn't a fashion thing. Every time I look back on college,

744
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 3: I'm like, I looked goofy as hell, like with the

745
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 3: shorts roll but it was really because they were uncomfortable.

746
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 2: But yeah, so, I mean, I'm just glad that.

747
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 3: Everything has just changed so much in the best way.

748
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 3: And we can think, you know, players in the past

749
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 3: that always showed up every day despite not having all

750
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 3: of these opportunities off the court, but still you know,

751
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 3: showing up every day, coming to work, playing in the WNBA,

752
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 3: being who they are, being themselves. So now in twenty

753
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 3: twenty five, all of these opportunities, like there's an opportunity

754
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 3: for everybody. Like I am so ecstatic that when I

755
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 3: got cut, I didn't.

756
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,280
Speaker 2: Like quit, like it was very close.

757
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 3: But to be here in this moment, being part of

758
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 3: this league, in this moment, this transformative period, like it's

759
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 3: such a blessing and I'm just so happy to see

760
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 3: other players winning on and off the court. So I mean,

761
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 3: everybody eats in my opinions, the better they do, the

762
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 3: better we do. Like yup, Yes, I want everybody to

763
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 3: love this player. I want everyone to love this player

764
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 3: because they gonna watch all of They gonna watch our games,

765
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 3: they gonna see all of us, they gonna get introduced to.

766
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 2: A bunch of amazing women in the WNBA.

767
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 3: So I'm always here for seeing people doing all types

768
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 3: of things.

769
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm really happy.

770
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of showing love to the league and whatnot,

771
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: let's get to our next quession. What other sponsors would

772
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: you like to see for teams or for the league?

773
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 2: Honestly, I think whoever got the most money, honestly, give

774
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 2: it to us, give it to us real.

775
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: Because who would have known how black would have such

776
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: an impact?

777
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 3: You know, a flack like really like Aflexa, here have

778
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 3: all the coins, all the money.

779
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: I really love the Skims partnership. I love that.

780
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 3: I think the makeup brands partnering with teams, with the

781
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 3: league and with individual.

782
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 2: Teams I think was great.

783
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 3: Like we got to work with Urban Decay when I

784
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 3: was with the Sparks, which was an amazing experience. Sophora

785
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 3: with unrivaled who else, Sophora with the Valkyries. I just

786
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 3: love I seeing those types of partnerships because it has

787
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 3: really brought an influx of women fandom to the WNBA,

788
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 3: which is something that I thought we were lacking, And

789
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 3: I think that's really made all of the difference is

790
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 3: the influx of women that have come to support the WNBA.

791
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 2: Now, all we need to do is get them to like.

792
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 3: Actually love and enjoy like the game, like basketball, like

793
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 3: the actual sport. Like not saying that they don't know

794
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 3: anything about basketball. I'm not saying that, but a lot

795
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 3: of them have come because they're fans of you know,

796
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 3: individual players. Now we need them to like start loving

797
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 3: like basketball as a whole, and I think then the

798
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 3: phantom is going to get to another level. But I

799
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 3: really have enjoyed seeing more women become fans of the

800
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 3: WNBA because that's something that I've always been like, where are.

801
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 2: The girl where are girlies at?

802
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 3: We need more women fans, So I'm glad that they

803
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 3: they're coming.

804
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 2: They're coming now, Well, Lexi, I have the solution to that.

805
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: So I would like to see.

806
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 2: So.

807
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: I never knew a thing about F one, trust me,

808
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: this is related.

809
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 2: Never knew a thing about.

810
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: F one, didn't care about it at all. And then

811
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: I went to see that movie with Damse and Idris

812
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: and Brad Pitt about f one and that movie was

813
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: so fine. I was like, Okay, I need no more.

814
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 1: So then I went and watched Driver Survive, which, if

815
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: you guys look it up, much smarter people than me

816
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: have done much better statistics in this on it. But

817
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: Drive to Survive, the Netflix show about Formula one, increased

818
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: the woman fandom by like, you want.

819
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 2: To see a reality show, but it's not. But it's

820
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 2: not a reality. It's a docu series.

821
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: Yes, but it really starting five yet kind of because

822
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: like I don't think because I've watched both and I

823
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: like starting five, but starting five isn't giving me the

824
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: same thing Driver to Survive did because it doesn't encapsulate

825
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: the whole league, you know what I mean. It's only

826
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: five guys. So if what you're saying is part of

827
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: the problem is, yes, the girls are watching now, but

828
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: the girls are.

829
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 2: Just kind of like tuning in.

830
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: Oh I love this girl, I love that girl. I'm

831
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: gonna go to the game and have a little kilo soda.

832
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: But we need them invested. And the thing that gets

833
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: the girls invested in sports are storylines that if they

834
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: could care less about the x's and o's of the game.

835
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:15,439
Speaker 2: They will care if they.

836
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 1: Know this player left this team and now she's playing

837
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: them in the finals, and this is that if they

838
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,879
Speaker 1: just did maybe if they followed like one player from

839
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: each team or something like that, or they did like

840
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: a team a season.

841
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 2: Or did like a Hard Knocks. I just don't know why. Yes,

842
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: I love that. I really I don't know.

843
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 3: If I can say this right now, but I'm currently

844
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 3: working on something kind of like this, but because I

845
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 3: felt the same way, like I'm like every literally every

846
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 3: occupation on Earth has gotten some type of show series

847
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 3: documentary except for us, right, and I really enjoyed what

848
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 3: they did for They did it with the College ESPN

849
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 3: did and I thought that was really well done.

850
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 2: I think they've chose four players.

851
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 3: They've been doing four players every season, so I like

852
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 3: what they've been doing with that. But we haven't had

853
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,240
Speaker 3: it for the WNBA yet. I'm sure that there's somebody

854
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 3: on Earth working on it. There's I mean, I've heard

855
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 3: multiple pitches of something along those lines. It just has

856
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 3: never happened, and I feel like now is the time

857
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 3: to do it, especially if we have a lockout like

858
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 3: that would be a really cool thing to document. I mean,

859
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 3: we documented the bubble a little bit like I did.

860
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 3: I've documented the whole bubble. A few other players documented

861
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 3: the whole bubble. So if you guys really wanted to

862
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 3: see an inside look of some WNBA stuff, you guys

863
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 3: can look on the bubble. Even though that was from

864
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 3: twenty twenty, it was very interesting to see what we

865
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 3: were doing in there. But yeah, I feel like even

866
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 3: the conversations I see with women having about basketball, it's

867
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 3: like they're talking about housewives and stuff they like. It's

868
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 3: just it makes me laugh, Like just the different lenses

869
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 3: people see sports in. I'm always so interested by it.

870
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 3: But I really love the influx of women women fans

871
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 3: for our league.

872
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 2: I think it's so important.

873
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 3: I think that has been game changing for us as

874
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 3: a league, is how many women we have now supporting it.

875
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 2: So shout out to y'all because we appreciate y'all. We've

876
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 2: been waiting for you. We've been waiting.

877
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: Literally, And I think, Okay, the cross between getting women

878
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: to watch it because the reason drives drive to survive

879
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: was so successful amongst women. I watched it f one

880
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: race this weekend. I could care less about racing.

881
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 2: But I watched my mom, and.

882
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: I need to know who's gonna win because I.

883
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 2: Watched that show. Yes, she saw the movie and she

884
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 2: was like, I love F one.

885
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: Yeah literally, okay, but what they what the good thing

886
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: about the show is like each episode is a race,

887
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: and the episode ends with the race, so we can

888
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: see what happened in the race. So it kind of

889
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: it makes me actually care about the race. It's not

890
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, oh I care who they're today and

891
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: what's going on and who they have beef with, and

892
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: then I don't see the races. It's like they summarize

893
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: the races. So now because I can't watch the show

894
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: because the season for this season isn't out yet, I

895
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: have to actually watch the race see what's going on.

896
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 2: So I think thew needs that.

897
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: So we get a context for like like I don't

898
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 1: know how they would do it, but for each game,

899
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: so we get contacts and we know, especially with everybody

900
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: being a free agent, bro, it's gonna be crazy.

901
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 2: That's gonna be nuts.

902
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 3: And I feel like if if this doesn't happen this year,

903
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 3: it will need to happen soon. And I'm hoping that

904
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 3: when these players sign to their new teams or what

905
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 3: current teams that they like these multi year deals come

906
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 3: back because this whole one year here, one year there,

907
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 3: one year here like.

908
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 2: That gotta stop. Yeah, because you can't.

909
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 3: Build storylines, you can't build rivalries, you can't do any

910
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,959
Speaker 3: of that stuff if people are just bouncing. Everybody bouncing around,

911
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 3: bouncing around, mountcing a Iro'm mounting around. So yeah, last

912
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 3: question before we head out is someone asked straight up

913
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 3: what happens.

914
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 2: If there is a lockout? Lee, I don't know.

915
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 3: I've never experienced a lockout before. We've never had a

916
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 3: lockout before.

917
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 2: We have one hundred and sixty eight ish.

918
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 3: You know, we don't fill the twelve roster spots all

919
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 3: the time, So roughly next season there will be one

920
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty eight total WNBA players in the off season.

921
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 3: Athletes Unlimited has forty roster spots and Unrivaled has fifty

922
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 3: four roster spots. Our roster, however, is not limited to

923
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:36,280
Speaker 3: WNBA players, so our league is not only WNBA players

924
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 3: like Unrivaled is. So that's roughly ninety ish spots right,

925
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 3: So now you're left with seventy four players that are

926
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 3: not in AU or on rival so their options are

927
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 3: to chill if they can go over season play. A

928
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 3: lot of players join college coaching staffs in the off season.

929
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 2: Or get a job. I don't know, go get a

930
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 2: regular job. I don't know, Like I don't know what

931
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 2: you do in a lockout.

932
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 3: We were talking about in one of our meetings, like

933
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 3: if we, well, we have the leagues, but like say

934
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 3: we didn't have the leagues, Like, would we like organize

935
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 3: like pickup games like the guys did that year when

936
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:19,959
Speaker 3: they had the lockout when.

937
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: They were all at like Rucker Park playing like randomly, Like,

938
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 2: would we organize that with the players Association? Organize that?

939
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 3: I mean, we've had been having conversations for months about

940
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 3: like savior coins just in case, So it's not going

941
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 3: to catch us off guard if that happens. But we

942
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 3: don't seem to be very close to settling on a

943
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 3: CBA anytime soon, unfortunately, but lucky for us, our season

944
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 3: doesn't start until May ish, but there's.

945
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 2: An expansion draft coming up.

946
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 3: That is the biggest issue because that's every all, every

947
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 3: everything that happens in the WNB is written out in

948
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:02,280
Speaker 3: the CBA.

949
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 2: The CBA is like basically like our constitution.

950
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 3: So if we don't have a CBA, Like, I don't

951
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 3: even know if you can have an expansion draft because

952
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 3: the rules and regulations of the expansion draft could potentially

953
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 3: be changed in the new CBA. So how do you

954
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:23,240
Speaker 3: have the expansion draft with no rules in place currently?

955
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 2: So thankfully I have AU and this beautiful show podcast.

956
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 2: You so say we do.

957
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 3: Have a lockout, I will be okay, but I want

958
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 3: to play next summer.

959
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,359

00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:45,480
