NBA Finals Game 2 Recap and Caitlin Clark Left Off The Olympic Team, Plus IYHH and Voicemails | 6.10
Bomani Jones starts the show by sharing his thoughts on Game 2 of the NBA Finals by specifically mentioning Luka Doncic's number 1 fan, Nick Wright who was in attendance. Bomani then tries to figure out what's wrong with Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and the Mavericks. (0:50) And following the Game 2 win by the Celtics, Bomani gives his props to Jaylen Brown and Joe Joe Mazzulla. But also brings up Joe Mazzulla's strange answer in a press conference a few days ago and why he is a bit of a weird guy. (11:40) We then transition to Caitlin Clark who is in the headlines once again, this time because she was left off the Olympic team. Bomani stresses the way the headlines were worded as left off vs not earning a spot, and why people arguing she should be on the team for business reasons instead of basketball reasons are straight up wrong. (22:00) Finally we get another round of If You Haven't Heard Stories and your voicemails of getting beat in basketball by a woman. (42:30) . . .
