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.

Can we count on you?

In the coming election, the fate of our democracy and fundamental civil rights are on the ballot. The conservative architects of Project 2025 are scheming to institutionalize Donald Trump’s authoritarian vision across all levels of government if he should win.

We’ve already seen events that fill us with both dread and cautious optimism—throughout it all, The Nation has been a bulwark against misinformation and an advocate for bold, principled perspectives. Our dedicated writers have sat down with Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders for interviews, unpacked the shallow right-wing populist appeals of J.D. Vance, and debated the pathway for a Democratic victory in November.

Stories like these and the one you just read are vital at this critical juncture in our country’s history. Now more than ever, we need clear-eyed and deeply reported independent journalism to make sense of the headlines and sort fact from fiction. Donate today and join our 160-year legacy of speaking truth to power and uplifting the voices of grassroots advocates.

Throughout 2024 and what is likely the defining election of our lifetimes, we need your support to continue publishing the insightful journalism you rely on.

Thank you,
The Editors of The Nation
