Starting with some WNBA news, WNBA players accepted the league’s extension at the 11th hour, which gives them another 30 days to figure out the new CBA to see if we will have a 2026 season.

Moving onto Unrivaled, 3 new faces finalized the rosters for the league: Aari McDonald, Rebecca Allen and Dominique Malonga. Malonga has an interesting situation going on with her overseas

Players who won’t be returning include: Dijonai Carrington, Angel Reese and Sabrina Ionescu. Can Unrivaled do well without a lot of big names playing this season?

Plus, we dive into the latest on the NBA Gambling scandal, ratings skyrocketing, and why the undefeated Spurs have the next face of the league in Victor Wembanyama.

Today we have some WNBA CBA updates… the never ending CBA negotiations continue and the official deadline for the league. The WNBA has offered players a 30 day extension for a new collective bargaining agreement. The extension would allow both sides more time to work toward a new deal. A source said players would be open to the extension to avoid a work stoppage under the right circumstances, but those circumstances do not exist.

Basically the players at this point in time are saying they’re not sure if they’re even going to accept the offer of an extension. They can either accept the extension offered, not take the extension but continue negotiating in good faith, OR thirdly… the players could strike, OR the owners can initiate the lockout.

NBA Champion & ESPN Analyst Richard Jefferson joins the Courtside Club!

We are diving into one of the wildest NBA storylines we’ve seen in years: the ongoing NBA gambling scandal that’s rocking the league. RJ reacts to new breaking news from Shams Charania, talks about how gambling culture has evolved around the game, and even draws parallels to the point-shaving scandal that hit Arizona back when he was growing up.

RJ takes us through the teams that have impressed him, the players every fan should be paying attention to, and why he still believes Victor Wembanyama would go #1 overall even over rookie-year LeBron James. He breaks down Wemby’s ceiling, his development curve, and what makes him one of the most special talents the game has ever seen.

RJ also opens up about his longtime friendship with LeBron James, sharing what their relationship is really like away from the cameras. Plus how things have changed now that he’s in the media space himself. He talks about Kendrick Perkins losing friends because of the job, getting pulled into the Stephen A. vs. LeBron debate, and the pressure that comes with being outspoken in today’s NBA media landscape.

We also dive deep into the WNBA lockout situation, why Caitlin Clark is having a Magic Johnson level impact on women’s basketball, and how the league can keep building momentum. RJ even offers his ideas on fixing the NBA All-Star Game, which celebrities should headline the Celebrity All-Star Game, and how he’s looking to bring back his own fan-favorite project, The Richard Show.
