ESPN Analyst & Radio Commentator Monica McNutt joins Kris and Marques Johnson on Hear District, diving into the Milwaukee Bucks’ identity, the rising backcourt tandem of Kevin Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins, the state of the WNBA, and more.

But first, Marques & Kris explain why they think Milwaukee’s win over the Detroit Pistons without Giannis is their most important regular-season victory in years. They also discuss KPJ’s impact since returning to the lineup, AJ Green’s shot-making and Doc Rivers’ full commitment to the zone defense that flipped the game. Plus, a film study of some vital clutch players in their favorite segment, About That Action.

Then, Monica breaks down her DMV roots, the playing style that defines DMV hoopers, her Georgetown journey, how the WNBA’s CBA battle and Project B could shape the league’s future, Caitlin Clark/Angel Reese's impact on women's hoops & more.
