Show Notes
Ryan thinks you can guess the two major discussion points here. Topics include…
* Why is a Gregg Popovich Trump rant going viral in conservative media over a month after it happened?
* Why is NBA ratings discourse so overwhelming all of a sudden?
* Did Adam Silver not use soft power like David Stern used it?
* Are we more pessimistic about the NBA’s cultural future than Bill Simmons is?
* The NBA’s America problem
* Why is the NBA a WOKE piñata in conservative media?
* How do we feel about Caitlin Clark clearly lying (Ryan seems fine with it)?
* Does Clark’s TIME feature influence how fans relate to her?
* Why is Hannah Hildago a potential future WNBA controversy generator?
