Courtside Club with Rachel DeMita

Zero days without WNBA drama… and today it’s all blowing up over the new TIME Magazine Athlete of the Year article featuring A’ja Wilson and the way it drags Caitlin Clark for absolutely no reason. In this video, I react live to the viral screenshots from the article, break down why fans are furious, and explain how the media continues to manufacture narratives that hurt the WNBA instead of helping it grow.A’ja Wilson deserves to be celebrated. She’s a three-time MVP, a Finals champion, an Olympic gold medalist, and arguably the most dominant player in the WNBA. This should have been her moment. Instead, the piece repeatedly brings up Caitlin Clark.. questioning her impact, referencing racial divides, implying she’s responsible for toxic narratives she has spoken out against many times, and even adding bizarre lines like “to be clear, A’ja didn’t cheer her injury.”Why are we doing this? Why does every major WNBA conversation turn into a Caitlin Clark debate?

Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors are officially heating up and it now looks more realistic than ever that Giannis has played his final game as a Milwaukee Buck. After scrubbing the Bucks from his social media and with reports from Shams that Giannis and his agent are discussing his future “in the coming weeks,” NBA fans are preparing for a franchise-altering move. Doc Rivers insists Giannis hasn’t asked for a trade, but the Bucks’ 10–13 record, their lack of a competitive roster, and Giannis’ recent calf strain have only fueled speculation that a blockbuster deal is imminent.In today’s episode, we break down every major report, including Shams’ update, Doc Rivers’ response, and why the timing of Giannis’ injury could accelerate trade talks. We also look at the Bucks’ collapse in the Eastern Conference and why their playoff window may be closing fast. Then we dive into Bleacher Report’s list of top landing spots — the Lakers, Knicks, Spurs, Hawks, Thunder, Trail Blazers and evaluate the real-world fit for each. Could Giannis team up with Luka and LeBron? Would he join Wembanyama in San Antonio to form a terrifying front court? Could OKC, with the best asset pool in the NBA, shock the league? And how realistic is Miami as a dark-horse destination?Let me know where you guys think Giannis will end up in the comments?Subscribe to #CourtsideClub now 👏:Spotify 🔗: https://spoti.fi/3QyFchC Apple 🔗: https://apple.co/3QyFqoYINSTAGRAM 📸: http://instagram.com/rademita/TIKTOK 📹: https://www.tiktok.com/@rademitaTWITTER 💬: https://twitter.com/RADeMita

The WNBA and WNBPA have officially extended the CBA deadline again.. The first 30-day extension expired on November 30th, only for both sides to push negotiations into January 9th, 2026.. right before the Unrivaled season begins. The back and forth between a 24 hour extension, a 21-day counter, and eventually a 40-day request shows just how disconnected this process has become. The union made it clear they expect substantive movement from the league, while the league’s latest proposal includes massive salary increases, revamped revenue sharing, and a projected $1M base max salary starting in 2026.But with expansion drafts on hold, free agency frozen, and nearly the entire league set to become unrestricted free agents, every delay puts more pressure on the WNBA to finalize a deal. Fans are exhausted, players are frustrated, and the league is running out of time to protect the momentum women’s basketball has built.. especially with the rise of Caitlin Clark and a new wave of stars driving unprecedented growth. Whether revenue sharing and prioritization rules can be resolved before the window closes remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the WNBA cannot afford a lockout in 2026.Let me know your guys' thoughts in the comments!Subscribe to #CourtsideClub now 👏:#WNBA #WNBANewsSpotify 🔗: https://spoti.fi/3QyFchC Apple 🔗: https://apple.co/3QyFqoYINSTAGRAM 📸: http://instagram.com/rademita/TIKTOK 📹: https://www.tiktok.com/@rademitaTWITTER 💬: https://twitter.com/RADeMita

I’m filming this one from Florida while I’m home with my family for the holiday, but I had to sit down and talk about what’s going on with Steph Curry leaving Under Armour. We finally got reporting on what triggered the split, including the wild detail that Steph personally pushed to get Caitlin Clark to join the Curry Brand… and Under Armour still couldn’t close the deal. I also break down Caitlin’s offers, why Nike’s contract was such a massive steal, and why I’ve always said her brand power is on another level. I also get into Sabrina Ionescu’s role in all this, including Steph wearing Sabrinas in game for the first time.. plus what his sneaker free agency might look like next!

The WNBA’s CBA negotiations have officially hit a breaking point, and over the last 72 hours the conversation has only grown more confusing. Reports surfaced claiming the league offered players a new deal featuring a potential $1.1 million maximum salary, a higher league average, and increased minimums. But almost immediately, players pushed back, with additional reporting revealing that the “$1.1M” figure wasn’t actually a base salary at all.. it was a bonus-dependent number, with the true base closer to $850K. As conflicting details continue to flood social media and major outlets, fans are left wondering what’s real and what’s spin. At this stage, both the WNBA and its players appear to be fighting a public-relations battle as much as a financial one. Six months of back-and-forth leaks, contradictory reporting, and unclear demands have left fans exhausted and unsure who to trust. Most viewers no longer care about the small details.. they simply want to know if a 2025 WNBA season is happening or if a lockout is imminent. What do you guys think happens as the next CBA deadline is just 9 days away?

The NBA’s sports gambling scandal continues to escalate as the league has now asked the Los Angeles Lakers and multiple other teams to turn over phones, documents, and internal records connected to the investigation into illegal sports betting. This follows the arrests of Damon Jones, LeBron James’ former shooting coach.. along with Chauncey Billups and Terry Rozier for their alleged roles in illegal betting and underground poker games with possible mafia ties. While conspiracy theories online try to drag major stars like LeBron into the drama, there’s no indication top players are involved, and the NBA appears focused on cracking down quickly to protect the integrity of a season with ratings at an all-time high. Across sports, the rise of legalized gambling has led to troubling fan behavior, from MLB players receiving Venmo threats to college athletes being harassed after missed plays, even a recent viral moment where a fan confronted Jimmy Butler on the street accusing him of “working for Vegas” over missed props. When will it end!? What's the solution??

Steph Curry just dropped 49 points and 9 threes against the San Antonio Spurs.. and yes, he’s still doing it at 37 years old. We break down Curry’s historic performance, his first game in Nike Kobe 6 “Mamba” sneakers since parting ways with Under Armour, and why he’s back in the MVP conversation. We also dive into Victor Wembanyama’s unreal highlights including his self-lob dunk and poster over Draymond Green & Jimmy Butler. Plus, the Draymond vs Wemby trash-talk moment that took over NBA Twitter. Draymond's claim that the “Warriors Effect” makes every team bring their best against Golden State just might be true.Subscribe to #CourtsideClub now 👏: Spotify 🔗: https://spoti.fi/3QyFchC Apple 🔗: https://apple.co/3QyFqoY INSTAGRAM 📸: http://instagram.com/rademita/ TIKTOK 📹: https://www.tiktok.com/@rademita TWITTER 💬: https://twitter.com/RADeMita
