"Can't Retire From This" is an upcoming multi-part documentary series highlighting women's basketball in the DMV, and the role the game plays in uplifting local youth. Melanie Page is a former DMV hooper turned filmmaker and she joins the podcast to help spread the word about the project. We cover her own basketball career and introduction to the game in the DMV, how the documentary came about, the target audience (everyone listening to this podcast!), and why she wanted to make it. We also discuss the prominent figures who were interviewed for the series and why it's so important to help tell their stories. There is an upcoming screening on Thursday, October 26 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM at Creative Suitland Arts Center that I hope you'll all consider attending.

Osman Baig (@OBtoojiveforyou) and Kevin Broom (@so_wizards) of Bullets Forever (@bulletsforever) join the podcast to evaluate the play of Wizards rookie Bilal Coulibaly thus far. We cover just how good he's actually been, how sustainable is it, what is the ideal role and usage for him, and who he would benefit from playing with the most. We also get into how he can continue to develop throughout the season, what things we'd like to see him continue to work on, and we go over some realistic long-term comparisons for him. Matt also explains why he does not want to see Coulibaly play a single minute in the G League this season. Presented by betonline.ag! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
