The guys dive into Caitlin Clark’s incredible achievement of being named Time’s Athlete of the Year. George passionately defends Clark, urging everyone to give her the respect she deserves. Not only has Clark earned these accolades with her dominance on the court, but she also continuously celebrates the legends who paved the way for her, helping elevate the entire women’s game and inspire future generations. As a member of the Indiana Fever, she’s playing a pivotal role in pushing women’s basketball to new heights. The conversation then shifts to A’ja Wilson’s exciting new shoe deal with Nike, along with JuJu Watkins and Dawn Staley’s investment in the emerging brand, Unrivaled. The guys discuss the growing influence of women’s basketball players both on and off the court. Next, George and Ountae quickly touch on the Celtics’ recent win over the Wizards, though there's concern over Kristaps Porzingis dealing with heel pain—thankfully, it’s not related to his previous ankle surgery. The hosts then tackle a pressing issue: What’s wrong with the Golden State Warriors? After starting the season 12-3, the team has struggled, going 2-8 in their last 10 games. Can they still build a championship team around Steph Curry before his window closes? Should they target anyone specific, and will Dennis Schroder make a difference? In this episode's “Win In 7,” George and Ountae have some fun with a guessing game, where they try to figure out a mystery NBA player in just seven questions. The discussion also includes James Harden’s new shoes and his 41-point performance against the Jazz, as well as whether the 76ers are flying under the radar. Can Tyrese Maxey and Paul George help the team rise in the Eastern Conference standings? Is it time for the 76ers to trade Joel Embiid? Finally, at the start the guys talk about the massive success of Bronny James’ jerseys, which have reportedly sold 500,000 units, bringing in over $50 million in revenue for the Lakers. With his rise to fame, Bronny’s impact is already being felt far and wide. And to close things out, George and Ountae recommend their top NBA League Pass games of the week, including Warriors vs. Grizzlies and Pacers vs. Suns—two high-scoring matchups you won’t want to miss!
