Welcome to the third episode of The MORE THAN BALL show, the UK's first female-led NBA podcast and show. In this episode Sevian Witter, Paige Ashleigh, Aiman Syed, Ola Awosika, and Shequila Joseph lead the discussion on recent basketball news!
In this episode of our basketball podcast, we start by discussing the controversy surrounding first lady Jill Biden's invitation to both the winning and losing teams of the women's college basketball championship. We explore the racial dynamics at play, and the importance of challenging racist beliefs and promoting anti-racist ways of thinking in sports.
Next, we move on to the WNBA draft, highlighting the top prospects and what to expect from the future of the league.
Finally, we dive into the new seven-year collective bargaining agreement between the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association, covering its impact on high-spending teams, increased opportunities for other teams, and the introduction of an in-season tournament.
