In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, D Wright, and Chris Johnson sit down with WNBA legend Tina Thompson.
They talk legacy—Tina’s USC roots, red lipstick on the court, and how she helped shape women’s basketball. She breaks down Juju Watkins’ impact at USC, calling her a generational star bringing back Cheryl Miller vibes.
The convo hits NIL realities, with Tina praising the progress but raising concerns about education and “hush money” from collectives. She also shares proud mom moments about her son Dylan, now at Georgia Tech, and the grind it took to get there.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
