And unfortunately, it still feels as if the two sides will not be coming to an agreement anytime soon. Here are my unfiltered thoughts and to hoping we get a 2026 WNBA season! Enjoy this rant!!

Happy 2026 Courtsiders!! Starting off the year hot with some WNBA updates.. Today we are covering:

- Caitlin Clark’s new Nike ad and what we can expect from her signature shoe which is set to be released in spring of 2026. Cailtin also shares that Nike will incorporate brand new, groundbreaking technology in her first signature shoe.

- The current state of the WNBA CBA and the shocking details that were just released by ESPN… The two sides are (shockingly) still not close to a deal, and the WNBA has now stated that if they implement the WNBPA’s proposal, the league could lose $700M which is more than they have ever lost in the history of the WNBA. Can the league survive these negotiations and will we have a 2026 season!?

- Napheesa Collier’s devastating news that she will be out for 4-6 months as she is undergoing surgery on both ankles. How will this affect Unrivaled this season, and will Phee make a full recovery before the start of the WNBA season!?

All this and more today on Courtside Club!! Enjoy guys :).

Today we’re diving into one of the most dramatic nights of the NBA season so far:The Minnesota Timberwolves handed OKC their third loss of the year and Chris Finch LOST IT.

We break down:

• Chris Finch’s first-quarter ejection meltdown after multiple missed calls

• Whether OKC’s physical style + “flopping narrative” is catching up to them

• Anthony Edwards’ cold-blooded takeover in crunch time

• Why the Thunder are suddenly becoming NBA villains

• Steph Curry getting clocked by Dylan Brooks and the Warriors’ growing frustration

• Whether Golden State MUST make a move before the trade deadline

• And… does Steph Curry deserve a spot in the GOAT conversation after passing MJ in 40-point games post-age 30?

Plus, we look at where the Warriors go from here, how teams are circling OKC on the calendar, and why Ant-Man’s mentality reminds so many people of Michael Jordan.

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!

Zero days without WNBA drama… and today it’s all blowing up over the new TIME Magazine Athlete of the Year article featuring A’ja Wilson and the way it drags Caitlin Clark for absolutely no reason. In this video, I react live to the viral screenshots from the article, break down why fans are furious, and explain how the media continues to manufacture narratives that hurt the WNBA instead of helping it grow.

A’ja Wilson deserves to be celebrated. She’s a three-time MVP, a Finals champion, an Olympic gold medalist, and arguably the most dominant player in the WNBA. This should have been her moment. Instead, the piece repeatedly brings up Caitlin Clark.. questioning her impact, referencing racial divides, implying she’s responsible for toxic narratives she has spoken out against many times, and even adding bizarre lines like “to be clear, A’ja didn’t cheer her injury.”

Why are we doing this? Why does every major WNBA conversation turn into a Caitlin Clark debate? Let me know what you guys think in the comments...

Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors are officially heating up and it now looks more realistic than ever that Giannis has played his final game as a Milwaukee Buck. After scrubbing the Bucks from his social media and with reports from Shams that Giannis and his agent are discussing his future “in the coming weeks,” NBA fans are preparing for a franchise-altering move. Doc Rivers insists Giannis hasn’t asked for a trade, but the Bucks’ 10–13 record, their lack of a competitive roster, and Giannis’ recent calf strain have only fueled speculation that a blockbuster deal is imminent.

In today’s episode, we break down every major report, including Shams’ update, Doc Rivers’ response, and why the timing of Giannis’ injury could accelerate trade talks. We also look at the Bucks’ collapse in the Eastern Conference and why their playoff window may be closing fast. Then we dive into Bleacher Report’s list of top landing spots — the Lakers, Knicks, Spurs, Hawks, Thunder, Trail Blazers and evaluate the real-world fit for each. Could Giannis team up with Luka and LeBron? Would he join Wembanyama in San Antonio to form a terrifying front court? Could OKC, with the best asset pool in the NBA, shock the league? And how realistic is Miami as a dark-horse destination?

Let me know where you guys think Giannis will end up in the comments?

The WNBA and WNBPA have officially extended the CBA deadline again.. The first 30-day extension expired on November 30th, only for both sides to push negotiations into January 9th, 2026.. right before the Unrivaled season begins. The back and forth between a 24 hour extension, a 21-day counter, and eventually a 40-day request shows just how disconnected this process has become. The union made it clear they expect substantive movement from the league, while the league’s latest proposal includes massive salary increases, revamped revenue sharing, and a projected $1M base max salary starting in 2026.

But with expansion drafts on hold, free agency frozen, and nearly the entire league set to become unrestricted free agents, every delay puts more pressure on the WNBA to finalize a deal. Fans are exhausted, players are frustrated, and the league is running out of time to protect the momentum women’s basketball has built.. especially with the rise of Caitlin Clark and a new wave of stars driving unprecedented growth. Whether revenue sharing and prioritization rules can be resolved before the window closes remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the WNBA cannot afford a lockout in 2026.

Hey you guys! I’m filming this one from Florida while I’m home with my family for the holiday, but I had to sit down and talk about what’s going on with Steph Curry leaving Under Armour.

We finally got reporting on what triggered the split, including the wild detail that Steph personally pushed to get Caitlin Clark to join the Curry Brand… and Under Armour still couldn’t close the deal. I also break down Caitlin’s offers, why Nike’s contract was such a massive steal, and why I’ve always said her brand power is on another level.

I also get into Sabrina Ionescu’s role in all this, including Steph wearing Sabrinas in game for the first time.. plus what his sneaker free agency might look like next!

The WNBA’s CBA negotiations have officially hit a breaking point, and over the last 72 hours the conversation has only grown more confusing. Reports surfaced claiming the league offered players a new deal featuring a potential $1.1 million maximum salary, a higher league average, and increased minimums. But almost immediately, players pushed back, with additional reporting revealing that the “$1.1M” figure wasn’t actually a base salary at all.. it was a bonus-dependent number, with the true base closer to $850K. As conflicting details continue to flood social media and major outlets, fans are left wondering what’s real and what’s spin.

At this stage, both the WNBA and its players appear to be fighting a public-relations battle as much as a financial one. Six months of back-and-forth leaks, contradictory reporting, and unclear demands have left fans exhausted and unsure who to trust. Most viewers no longer care about the small details.. they simply want to know if a 2025 WNBA season is happening or if a lockout is imminent.

What do you guys think happens as the next CBA deadline is just 9 days away? Let me know what you think in the comments!
