This week's guest is former college basketball player and current SB Nation writer Sydney Umeri. Topics discussed included but are not limited to: Stanford's championship proving one fist > five fingers; how Iowa’s Caitlin Clark shoots like Steph Curry and why that may mean something different for the future of the women’s game than Steph does for the men’s; what makes Paige Bueckers a unique talent; the discouraging shortage of Black women coaching at the highest levels of basketball; the underreported issue of long-haul Covid affecting elite athletes; and the best and worst of NBA alternate uniforms, including Matthew’s frustration with the Knicks’ repeated fashion faux pas. Sydney Umeri is a programming fellow and writer at SB Nation. She is also a former college basketball player and currently a digital marketing and graphic design consultant.
