The Chicago Sky are WNBA Champs for the first time in franchise history. And it was truly a team effort from the top down! Candace Parker came home to where it all began and help bring a title to #SkyTown and Coach Wade, one of the most amazing human beings and coaches in all of team sports, was the architect of it all. He epitomizes class, humility, and family. Among many many other things. 

But it cannot be overstated enough how symbolic and historical it was to lead his team to their first ever championship after a pedestrian 16-16 regular season. He believed in them, helped them be better individually and collectively as the season progressed, and they consequently played their best basketball when it mattered most. Flowers also go to his incredible wife, Edwige Lawson Wade. And his son Jet! Both Coach Wade and Edwige came on our show earlier this year so if you missed those two episodes, I encourage you to go back and listen or watch them.

I will also discuss how ESPN and the AP for marginalized the incredible women and coaches of the WNBA, yet again after game 3. Join Hoot as he shares his opinions about why the incredible women of the WNBA we're marginalized yet again after Game 3 of the WNBA Finals.

Hoot also shares his views on John Gruden and Stephen A. and Kyrie.

The Spirit of St. Louis, Jahidi White and Hootie Hoot chopped it up for a fascinating conversation about his upbringing, the impact of Big John, Hall-of-Fame Coach, John Thompson, on him not just as a coach but as a black man in society, Stephen A. Smith and his thoughts about him and the media, what it takes to be a successful coach in the NBA, and why Ron Artest deserves an apology and not only credit for being one of the first to talk about mental health but why there should be an entire movement named after him. And I wholeheartedly agree. And you DO NOT want to miss our rapid fire, "this or that" segment of the podcast.

Jim Trotter joined Hootie Hoot in The Sports Deli Podcast for one of the most compelling and powerful conversations to date. His candor is refreshing and thought provoking about a wide range of topics from Tom Brady to his feelings about where the NFL is headed to how Colin Kaepernick changed the way he now covers NFL players to what he thought about Kobe Bryant's death to his thoughts on Hank Aaron, Larry Bird, Zeke, Steph Curry, and whether Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame.

Jackie Stiles who led her Missouri State Bears (NOT THE TIGERS!) to a Final Four after upsetting #1 Duke, played in the WNBA before injuries cut her career short. She was a legendary high school player who once scored 71 and 61 points in a game. She averaged nearly 40 points per game for her high school career and shot nearly 60%. In that Sweet 16 game against Duke, Jackie had 41 points. She has coached in a power 5 conference (at Oklahoma for the Hall-of-Fame Coach Sherri Coale), overcome cancer and has been a successful entrepreneur. She is a personal trainer and a basketball trainer. But what impressed me the most was her unbelievable spirit. She is a born leader. A lover. And her personality is contagious. It was truly an honor to share space with her. You don't want to miss our very famous rapid fire portion of the podcast with Jackie, "this or that".

REST IN PEACE DON. Don passed away not long after coming on the show. He was so gracious with his time. And when I stopped at his table at Brother's Restaurant in San Diego to say hello and ask him if he played at Marquette as he was proudly wearing his blue Jordan dri-fit shirt, he asked me and my daughter to have a seat and join him as he was alone at the time (but a regular at Brother's where Tiger Woods and Troy Polamalu and others have eaten). He proceeded to hand me It was such an honor to have had him on our show. He was such a kind soul and will be missed.

You don't want to miss this incredible interview with former two time NBA All-Star Don Kojis. Don played with or against the likes of Willis Reed, Wilt Chamberlain, John Havlicek, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, and Oscar Robertson. The latter and Don worked together to help come up with a collective bargaining agreement and guaranteed contracts that forever changed the face of the NBA. Don shares his incredible story including meeting Vince Lombardi, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and Hank Aaron and how he went from growing up a cheesehead to playing his college ball at Marquette (where his jersey is now retired) to the NBA and to life after basketball. And you don't want to miss this epic "This or That" segment of the podcast.
