In today’s episode of Courtside Club, I break down where things actually stand in the WNBA CBA negotiations: the push for a revenue split, why a work stoppage in 2026 would be catastrophic, and what players like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Nneka Ogwumike, and Napheesa Collier have already said about a potential strike.

Then we react in real time to the WNBPA’s new statement authorizing the executive committee to call a strike “when necessary” – and what that really means for the league’s momentum, salaries, and the future of women’s basketball.

I also talk about: Why I think the WNBA will eventually get a better revenue split, but maybe not in this CBA

Adam Silver’s comments and how the NBA’s leadership could shape the outcome

Whether offseason leagues like Unrivaled and overseas commitments can truly coexist with a thriving WNBA

Injury risk, prioritization rules, and why no other major league lets its stars play full-on in unsanctioned offseason competitions

At the end of the day, this is about protecting the WNBA’s momentum without wasting a once-in-a-generation moment for the sport.

This is Day 8 of the 12 Days of Radmas🎄 I’m uploading a new episode every day until Christmas and donating 50% of the earnings from these videos to animal shelters in Texas. Your views, likes, comments, and shares directly help support that cause. 💙

Does the NBA have to address its flopping problem? Rachel breaks down the controversial Spurs vs Thunder NBA Cup semifinal, including the viral Alex Caruso–Wemby clip, the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander “kick-out” foul on Dylan Harper, and whether OKC are brilliant at manipulating the rules… or just flopping their way to the line.

Rachel also reacts to Victor Wembanyama’s “ethical basketball” comments, clears up what he really meant, and compares the Spurs’ old-school, team-first style to the Thunder’s whistle-heavy reputation. Plus, Rachel brings in what Dwyane Wade and Jaylen Brown have said about flopping, and how Adam Silver is publicly acknowledging that the league may have overcorrected in favor of offense and needs more physical defense back in the game.

To close things out, Rachel previews the NBA Cup Final: San Antonio Spurs vs New York Knicks in Las Vegas!

During the 12 Days of Radmas 🎄 50% of earnings from these episodes will be donated to animal shelters in Texas, so every view, like and comment helps a great cause. ❤️
