On this week’s episode of Edge of Sports, we speak to commentator and hoops legend Christy Winters Scott about the shock waves that have roiled the worlds of hoop in both the WNBA and NBA. We discuss the Durant trade and the big moves in both the WNBA and NBA as well as why the DMV region continues to produce incredible basketball talent.

We have Choice Words about LeBron breaking Kareem’s all-time scoring record. We also have a Just Stand Up award to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for being an incredible figure of political grace, and a Just Sit Down award to the NFL media for the ways in which they didn’t question NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell at the state of the league press conference.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
