Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by Sheryl Swoopes, four-time WNBA champion, three-time MVP, and the first player ever signed in the WNBA. Sheryl breaks down how Nike approached her about the first-ever women's signature basketball shoe and how that moment opened doors for every woman who came after her. She talks about growing up in Brownfield, Texas, playing ball with her brother, her mom working the cafeteria and cleaning houses, and why failure was never an option. Sheryl shares the emotional weight of being able to sit down for a nice dinner with her brothers after everything they came from. She gives her take on Geno Auriemma not dapping up Dawn Staley after the Final Four, explains why Black women are always expected to take the higher road, and says that moment put a stain on his legacy. She runs through her top five WNBA players of all time and breaks down why the Indiana Fever have a real shot to win it all with Raven Johnson moving Caitlin Clark off the ball. Joe goes in on J. Cole's one-game basketball career in China, tells stories from his prison basketball league, and Jada announces that he wants in on the next NBA Celebrity All-Star Game.
