They also discuss Zion Williamson losing the guarantee on his contract for the final 3 years and Shaquille O’Neal’s comments on whether Draymond Green needs counseling. Subria Whitaker joins the show to discuss the WNBA Schedule releases, changes to the new Commissioner’s Cup format, and Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark sharing Sporting News’ Athlete of the Year honor. Mary Omatiga joins Natalie and Imman to weigh-in on Jonathan Owens claim that he’s the catch in his relationship with Simone Biles and him admitting that he didn’t know who she was before they started dating.
