Host Howard Megdal is joined by Texas forward Joyner Holmes. The multi-talented Longhorn has been through plenty of adversity in her career already, from a semester-long suspension to an ankle injury that cost her several months this season.

The two discuss Joyner's basketball origins, how she came to know and love the game, along with how she's evolved into a player unlike those who came before her. Joyner looked to Kobe Bryant and Tina Thompson for inspiration, and the discussion delved into what that's meant for her work ethic, composition of inside-outside skills and where she expects it all to take her.

Holmes is also philosophical about her suspension, her relationship with head coach Karen Aston, and provides insight on a range of topics.

Host Howard Megdal is joined by new Los Angeles Sparks head coach Derek Fisher. The two have a wide-ranging conversation, looking at both the details of how Fisher was hired and the task ahead, operating a roster filled with both stars like Candace Parker and Nneka Ogwumike, along with developing players like Sydney Wiese and Maria Vadeeva.

Fisher did not shy away from the difficult questions raised by the way his hiring came about—with Sparks general manager Penny Toler making it clear she had no other people in for interviews before hiring her one and only choice in Fisher, something that rubbed many the wrong way.

Fisher talks about his past, what led him to the Sparks, and why he thinks this can be such a productive partnership. Enjoy!
