In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, Dorell Wright, and Chris Johnson dive into Paige Bueckers’ journey from viral prodigy to top WNBA draft pick, praising her resilience through injuries and her return to greatness.
The crew gets real about why former players don’t rush into coaching, calling out the politics behind ex-NBA stars being sidelined despite real experience.
They also break down the shocking Luka Dončić trade to the Lakers, labeling it “billionaire business,” and explore how stardom and jersey sales shape decisions.
Dwyane reacts to six women going to space—including Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez—saying it blew his mind and sparked a bigger convo on representation.
Closing out, they show love to SGA’s MVP-level season and reflect on OKC’s consistent, smart front office, with Dorell sharing his near-signing story.
