Host Jackie Powell is joined by women’s basketball freelance journalist Eden Laase where the two discuss how the confusing WNBA All-Star voting process caused some WNBA All-Star snubs. How does the Team USA roster automatically being All-Stars make this more complicated? The pair dive deep into the four main snubs including Dijonai Carrington, Alanna Smith, Ezi Magbegor and Betnijah Laney-Hamilton along with making suggestions as to who the players who were snubbed could have replaced as All-Stars. And finally, Jackie and Eden ponder what makes an All-Star and how much team success matters.
