We take a look at A’ja Wilson’s Finals MVP performance, what makes this team’s culture unbeatable, and where the Mercury go from here. Plus, the latest on the WNBA’s tense CBA negotiations. Adam Silver says it’s gotten “too personal,” but players like Nneka and Satou have a different take.

Phee emptied the clip on the WNBA’s front office in her exit interview. From calling out Cathy Engelbert to dragging the league’s leadership, Napheesa Collier let the chopper sing — and we are HERE for it. Meanwhile, the Dallas Wings fired another coach (shocking… not really), and the stage is set: Aces vs. Mercury in the Finals. What’s it going to take for each team to bring home the chip?

A controversial no-call, Phee’s injury, and Cheryl’s “Crashout of the Year” all went down in Game 3 — a disaster that sent the Lynx packing and the Mercury to the Finals. Meanwhile, the Fever push the Aces to a Game 5, and Liberty GM Jonathan Kolb explains Sandy Brondello’s firing and what’s really behind Sabrina Ionescu’s struggles from deep.

FREE ANGEL!

Monday Sep 08, 2025
Angel Reese made comments deemed “detrimental” to her team — and the Sky responded by suspending her for half a game. A deeply unserious move from a deeply unserious organization… but sadly, typical Chicago Sky.
Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark is out for the season. Will injuries define her career, or is this just a bump in the road? And to cap it all off, we’re headed to Vegas to watch the Aces take on the Sky. Let’s gooo!

Meanwhile, some Liberty season ticket holders are being priced out after getting hit with a major price increase. The playoff race is still wild, and oh yeah — Dawn Staley casually revealed she interviewed for the Knicks’ head coaching job.

We also talk about the real reason for Alysha Clark’s trade request, why the Liberty need Stewie like yesterday, and whether the Aces are truly back.
