The NWSL finals are set between Gotham FC and the Washington Spirit, and in this episode Megan diagnoses what a win or loss means for the clubs and their futures, and what to watch out for heading into the finals. And with the end of the NWSL regular season, we have another MVP debate. Should a team’s performance in the absence of their best player impact (for better or worse) that player’s chances to be named MVP? PLUS: Another women’s basketball league is in the works. Project B will premiere sometime next year, promising international tournaments and the biggest salaries women basketball players have ever seen. We discuss what is and isn’t known about Project B’s sources of funding, its relationship to the WNBA, and whether it will impact the current CBA negotiations. Plus, Paige Bueckers is set to star in a new sports movie being developed by Apple, so Megan and Sue take a walk down memory lane about the best women's basketball player cameos of all time – and their own brushes with Hollywood.
