I don't usually agree with this pod, but Gil said something insightful. Eventually the black/white hero/villain storyline is going to dry up, so it'll be smart for the W to push them as both being winners. The nba eventually stopped pitting Magic and Bird against one another and made them pillars of the league together.

This was the least toxic conversation about these players I’ve heard.

[jetmemphis]

From Rashad own mouth "From 100k to 700k", maybe it's my Memphis math, but that's not 4 times as much my G.

Lexi tweeted about CC in 2021
" Damn this Caitlin Clark is a MF'n problem " during her early iowa days

[jamiekoh]

You can't script everything, but damn, the ROTY race between Caitlyn and Angel is the chef's kiss following up on their college rivalry. Next step is a playoff matchup and eventually finals too.

This show was the first one to say Angel Reece won't make It. I am glad she is showing them she is the dawg.

[brandonzzz]

Wow, Lexi actually say something honest pretty cool About the coach killing these rookies that don’t even get played then they get cut and they fans don’t stick around real 💯

[bobbyharris]

Lexi talking bout the league was growing before angel and CC...yeah growing apart...

[vancev]

People keep saying that stuff about Angel rebounding her own misses but her own misses only account for 13% of her offensive rebounds….that’s 87% from her teammates misses. Just stop it. That’s a skill. 😂💯

[ChrisJoestarr]

This agenda of sticking angel reese to cait is pretty nasty 😂

[jrod]

I’m proud of Reese. Ppl didn’t think she would make it and she’s crushing it. She will get better and better offensively. She’s a raw and special talent

[Eujoung]

"Getting your own rebound" is something that folks use to make fun of Moses Malone, a 3X League MVP and 6X Rebounding Champ and one of the greatest players in NBA History. It is definitely a Skill

[corpyhogan]

This current rookie class is definitely the 96 NBA draft class of the WNBA

[GunninRebel]

"Reese has Cardoso on her team." And? Caitlin has 2 all stars on her team, one being last yrs ROTY.

[SasukesSharingan.]

She finally back after getting smoked by caitlin 😂

[GrindmodeCHRIS]

Angel Reese been doing this since College

[DaFactsNoNonsense]

These guys changed their tune, real fast = Brown's out there with Caitlin/Angel, so now she knows WHY, they're bringing the fans

[hakshustletv]

One thing people struggle hiding is what their face is actually saying, especially when the words don't match. Every time you ask a WNBA or ex-WNBA player about Caitlin or Angel you can see the fake smiles😂😂

[pkway]

This is why both angel and Caitlin needed to be on team USA…. Marketing and growth

[ricorogers]

Gil is 100% correct...Both Clark and Reese are valuable to their teams, in different ways....Both have huge impacts...
