This is a PSA: Black History Month in June would make perfect sense! Especially as it relates to Juneteenth!

I’ve decided to evolve the way I think about the Boston Celtics as a team and as individual players, especially as it pertains to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.Because the way they’re put together is both a model for the modern day NBA squad and something we may likely not see for a long time, if ever again. Dallas native Jamal Brown is here to discuss that, as well as what the Mavericks need to do to get back into this.. Also: Why Caitlin Clark being left off the Olympic Team is a non-story, and how Vinicius Jr.’s fight against racism in European soccer has inspired us to think bigger…in an Ignant sort of way. We explain all that and more in a brand new episode of the Play-By-Play Analysis!

The discourse around the WNBA and Caitlin Clark has been extremely toxic, and honestly a lot of y’all are telling on yourselves from the way the Clark discourse has taken a turn to the way people have continued to trash a league full of predominantly black women to elevate her. So we drop our 2 cents on the conversation. Also: We can thank the state of Virginia for providing the soundtracks of the summer so far, and why we’re keeping all eyes on Palestine, Congo, Sudan and others. It’s a brand new Play-By-Play Analysis!

For the 6th year in a row we will have a brand new NBA Champion come June, and this year is all about the youth movement: Luka Doncic, Anthony Edwards, Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Halliburton all have a chance to win their first rings. Plus: Caitlin Clark’s had a rude awakening to the WNBA, but the toxic discourse around her in relation to her teammates, fellow draft classmates and even other WNBA vets has been real toxic. And speaking of toxic, Diddy’s ass is in the news again…and it just keeps getting worse for him. And the moment college football fans have been waiting for for more than a decade is finally here! We discuss all that and more on the newest episode of the Play-By-Play Analysis!

Just a reminder that Ronald Reagan literally made college more expensive to stop the rise of an educated proletariat (Said it word for word; go look it up). With the continued rise in student protests and walkouts of graduations across the country due to the ongoing situation in Palestine, our good sis Layan —who was one of those protesting in encampments on campuses like UConn— is back to tell us what that was like, and what ultimately comes next in this movement. We also discuss how protests on college campuses are nothing new, and why students have rarely if ever been on the wrong side of history—from opposition to the Vietnam War and South African apartheid to the war in Iraq and Black Lives Matter protests.

I guess you could say it’s the “Dawn” of a new era…There’s a new basketball dynasty on the rise in South Carolina, led by a basketball icon Sawn Staley. We talk about the Gamecocks’ historic Final Four run amid an equally historic rise in popularity for women’s basketball. For the first time in 4 years, there’s a new WWE Champion and for the first time in 16 years, a repeat champion in men’s college basketball. And there are some new faces in new places, like the University of Arkansas. And speaking of changes, the basketball community is also saying goodbye to one of the all time greats in Tara Vanderveer and the remarkable legacy she’s leaving behind. And this year’s WNBA Draft Class could potentially do for the W what the legendary 1984 draft class did for the NBA. It’s the return of the Play-By-Play Analysis, so sit back and relax as we honor basketball icons past, present and future!

From Act 2 of Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark to Act 2 of Beyonce, the theme of this episode is pretty clear: We’re running it back!
