This week, the guys skip the NFL and lock in on the biggest stories from around the NBA, WNBA, and music. They start with the Dallas Wings taking Azzi Fudd with the No. 1 pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, what her fit looks like alongside Paige Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale, and what Dallas is building heading into the season. They also discuss A’ja Wilson making history with the first supermax in WNBA history, what that deal says about the league’s growth, and the latest around some of the biggest contract moves in women’s basketball.
From there, the episode shifts to the NBA with a breakdown of the Hornets’ play-in win over the Heat and the controversy that followed after LaMelo Ball tripped Bam Adebayo, leading to Bam leaving the game with an injury. The guys debate whether the play was intentional, react to LaMelo being fined, and talk through what Charlotte’s turnaround means moving forward. They also get into Doc Rivers being out in Milwaukee, J. Cole’s one-game stint with the Nanjing Monkey Kings, Gucci Mane dropping “Crash Dummy” in the middle of the Pooh Shiesty fallout, and a few more music and culture notes to close things out.
Topics include: Azzi Fudd to the Dallas Wings, A’ja Wilson’s historic supermax, Hornets vs. Heat play-in fallout, LaMelo Ball and Bam Adebayo, Doc Rivers out with the Bucks, J. Cole and the Nanjing Monkey Kings, Gucci Mane’s “Crash Dummy,” Justin Bieber at Coachella, Chris Brown and Usher tour talk.
