This is INSANE. WNBPA President Nneka Ogwumike in the middle of the WNBA’s tense CBA negotiations and a potential lockout... just became the FIRST player to officially sign with Saudi Arabia–backed Project B, a brand-new women’s basketball league being marketed as a direct rival to the WNBA.
In this episode, we break down exactly what Project B is, why it’s backed by Saudi investment money, how it compares to Unrivaled and Athletes Unlimited, and why Nneka’s move could reshape the future of women’s basketball as we know it.
This move comes as the WNBA and WNBPA battle through CBA talks with salary, revenue-sharing, and offseason restrictions at stake. With top players already invested in rival offseason leagues like Unrivaled and Athletes Unlimited, Nneka’s deal could shift power, money, and attention away from the WNBA...
What happens from here!?

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.

Today we have to talk about this gambling scandal that is currently happening in the NBA. There is sports betting, illegal poker games, there’s mafia ties. It’s absolutely insane.
FBI Director Kash Patel held a press conference where he spilled the beans on everything that’s going on. He said the fraud is mind boggling, its tens of million in fraud, theft and robberies across a multi year period.
Damon Jones and Chauncey Billups were allegedly part of rigged poker games. There were X ray machines built into tables to read face down cards, there were contact lenses and glasses that were able to read pre marked cards, and there were also secret cameras in the card trays. The Poker games also has ties to the mafia, which explains why the FBI is now involved.
Stephen A also made some interested comments about President Trump, Kash Patel, and why he thinks the WNBA might be investigated next.

We might have just witnessed the best display of basketball that us as NBA fans have ever seen. Victor Wembanyama went OFF with 40 points, 15 rebounds, 3 blocks and shot the lights out from the field. He’s only 21-years-old and coming off a blood clot injury in his shoulder that forced him to miss time last year. He’s said in interviews he’s “not taking anything for granted” and he went to WORK this offseason clearly. This offseason he trained with Hakeem Olajuwon, Kevin Garnett and also meditated with monks in China…
We break down his RIDICULOUS highlights.
Is Wemby already in the MVP discussion this year?

Today we have a good old update video for you guys… But I want to talk to you guys about this article ESPN recently published titled “WNBA owners, insiders on Cathy Engelbert, officiating, CBA”
Owners talked about the ongoing feud between Napheesa Collier and Cathy Englebert and the potential fallout from this fight. Its been relatively quiet since we’ve last heard from any of them and the CBA agreement deadline is quickly approaching on October 31st and its looking like that date with obviously have to be extended. We break down the article and reveal some SPICY quotes about the ongoing drama in the league and how this might all play out.
The AP came out with a greatest college basketball players of all time list. The 1st team included: Caitlin Clark, Diana Taurasi, Cheryl Miller, Breanna Stewart and Candace Parker. The teams were based on positions and the second team unit was: Sue Bird, Dawn Staley, Maya Moore, Chamique Holdsclaw and Louisa Harris. Naturally, people took to the internet to express their dissapointment with Caitlin Clark being selected 1st team…
Next week I plan on going live for some NBA games, the season is just around the corner and I do plan on covering more NBA games this year.

In today’s video we’ve got to talk about WNBA Playoffs. The Indiana Fever are just 1 game away from reaching the WNBA Finals. The Phoenix Mercury are waiting in the wings to see whether they will play the Aces or Fever.
If the Indiana Fever have to play a 7 game series against the Phoenix Mercury it might become the most toxic WNBA Finals ever. The entire DeWanna Bonner with the Fever this year, plus the matchup earlier this year where we saw DB talking smack to Lexie, there is a LOT of bad blood. We also finally got the news on Cheryl Reeve’s fine… Cheryl was fined $15K for her outbursts on Friday night.
PLUS, Steph White and Becky Hammon were each fined $1K for defending her comments on physicality and reffereeing.
Let me know what you guys think about the Fever’s chances and these CRAZY fines in the comments!

The WNBA clearly needs to make a change, just ask Cheryl Reeve after last night’s game. In the final moments of Game 3 of the semi-finals between the Mercury and Lynx, Alyssa Thomas collided with Naphessa Collier and scored on a fast break, a play that should’ve been called a foul. The crash out by Cheryl Reeve was EPIC. But I am dumbfounded by the amount of people and professionals that are saying this was not a foul. Cathy Englebert NEEDS to come out and address these issues and STOP hiding behind fines and suspensions. Unless real change is made to the officiating in the WNBA, the league will fail to put out a good product.
