Howard Bryant on the Life of Jerry West, Caitlin Clark Thoughts, and the Boston Celtics | 6.12

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) . . .

(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?

Monica McNutt on the First Take Incident, How to Cover the WNBA, and NBA Finals Preview | 6.5

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) . . .
