WNBA All-Star Starters, Commissioner’s Cup Recap, and Midseason Overpaid/Underpaid Salary Check

Sylvia and her daughter Madeleine preview a two-week podcast break, address Alyssa Thomas’s confirmation of racist messages and death threats after the Caitlin Clark incident, and note Clark’s statement condemning hateful treatment. They break down the newly announced WNBA All-Star starters and voting process (50% fans, 25% media, 25% players, with limited player ballot participation), discuss potential snubs, and look ahead to coach-selected reserves. Game highlights focus on the Wings’ two road wins, including a comeback over the Sun and a win over the Tempo, plus updates on Caitlin Clark and A’ja Wilson sitting out Fever–Aces. They recap the Commissioner’s Cup (Liberty over Aces) and other notable games, then analyze midseason “overpaid/underpaid” players by position under the new CBA, before covering standings shifts, upcoming matchups, couch picks, and their swish list featuring vacation plans and attending Fever home games.
