    NBA Finals Game 2 Recap and Caitlin Clark Left Off The Olympic Team, Plus IYHH and Voicemails

    NBA Finals Game 2 Recap and Caitlin Clark Left Off The Olympic Team, Plus IYHH and Voicemails

    Bomani Jones starts the show by sharing his thoughts on Game 2 of the NBA Finals by specifically mentioning Luka Doncic's number 1 fan, Nick Wright who was in attendance. Bomani then tries to figure out what's wrong with Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and the Mavericks. (0:50) And following the Game 2 win by the Celtics, Bomani gives his props to Jaylen Brown and Joe Joe Mazzulla. But also brings up Joe Mazzulla's strange answer in a press conference a few days ago and why he is a bit of a weird guy. (11:40) We then transition to Caitlin Clark who is in the headlines once again, this time because she was left off the Olympic team. Bomani stresses the way the headlines were worded as left off vs not earning a spot, and why people arguing she should be on the team for business reasons instead of basketball reasons are straight up wrong. (22:00) Finally we get another round of If You Haven't Heard Stories and your voicemails of getting beat in basketball by a woman. (42:30)

    Monica McNutt on the First Take Incident, How to Cover the WNBA, and NBA Finals Preview

    Monica McNutt on the First Take Incident, How to Cover the WNBA, and NBA Finals Preview

    Bomani Jones is joined by Monica McNutt, basketball analyst for ESPN and MSG, to discuss all things hoops. First, Bomani and Monica give their thoughts on the narratives surrounding the NBA Finals. Are people being too mean to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown? (6:45) Who is the X-factor for the Celtics and how do we rank JT vs Luka? Speaking of Luka Doncic, Bo and Monica talk about his game, which Mavericks team was better between the 2011 and 2024 teams, and what to make of the Kyrie Irving resurgence this season. (10:10) Then they transition to the WNBA and have an honest conversation regarding how the league is currently being covered by the media and fans. Has the language towards Caitlin Clark been unfair? Why do people forget that it's still a competitive league? (32:50) And finally, Bomani asks Monica about what all went down during the First Take incident. Monica shares her point of view while highlighting the difficulty of being a woman in sports, talking about women in sports, and being called out for talking about women in sports. (45:10)

    The WNBA vs Caitlin Clark and Kyrie's Return to Boston, Plus IYHH and Voicemails

    The WNBA vs Caitlin Clark and Kyrie's Return to Boston, Plus IYHH and Voicemails

    Bomani Jones kicks off this episode by remembering Dallas Cowboys legend Larry Allen who recently passed away and why they have never made a player like him before or after. (0:30) After a chaotic morning on ESPN, Bomani discusses the First Take viral clip of Monica McNutt silencing Stephen A. Smith for his lack of WNBA coverage. (4:00) That leads to a conversation regarding the incidents that recently occurred involving Caitlin Clark and Chennedy Carter which lead to a fine for Carter. Bo argues that physical play has always been a calling card for the WNBA and that the new fans are treating the sport as a cause rather than an actual sport. How should Caitlin Clark handle this whole situation and how should the rest of the WNBA handle Caitlin Clark? (7:30) Then Bomani briefly reflects on Kyrie Irving and his career ahead of his return to Boston for the NBA Finals. (36:10) And finally, another round of If You Haven't Heard Stories and Bomani answers you question during our voicemails segment. (45:33)

    Elle Duncan on the WNBA: Caitlin Clark's Early Struggles, Cameron Brink Stardom, and Alyssa Thomas

    Bomani Jones is joined by Elle Duncan of ESPN to help break down the early season in the WNBA. But first, Bomani shares how he got roasted on the TNT altcast for wearing shorts on the broadcast which spawns a discussion on other red flags.

(19:40) Then Bomani asks Elle for her thoughts on all the drama surrounding Caitlin Clark. How should the WNBA handle the influx of new fans via Clark and should the league take it easy on her? (28:24) Finally Elle and Bomani analyze the budding stardom of Los Angeles Sparks rookie Cameron Brink, the craze of WNBA fashion, and why Alyssa Thomas deserves more flowers. (39:25)
