After a convincing beatdown against the New York Liberty in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals, the Las Vegas Aces are on the brink of becoming the first back-to-back champions since the Los Angeles Sparks in 2001-2002. Greg discusses why earlier concerns over the Aces' lack of depth is not, and never was, an issue for this team. Plus, his thoughts on the WNBA coming to the Bay Area.

You know when you hear about a sport, game, or league that you just don't follow super closely, but you want the proper context of what it all means? Explain it in NBA Terms! This episode takes the social media bit to the next level, as Greg Silver attempts to give each of the 12 teams in the WNBA their best NBA comparison. Of course, the WNBA has very much its own identity, as is the case with the NHL, MLB, and major tournaments in tennis or golf. Some comparisons were easier to find than others. As we enter the final few weeks of this dry period in sports, this episode will provide a little creativity, entertainment, and spice here on Bleav.

On the 50th episode of SFTS, Greg has the privilege of hosting three important figures who are looking to bring an expansion team to Oakland, CA. Sara Brande, Joanie Lohman, and Alexis Gray-Lawson all connected just a couple of years ago, but together they are at the forefront of a movement to bring the W to a city that's starving for a team.

Brande learned the power of online community while back in Boston, and after shortly after moving to Oakland in 2021, they connected with longtime Bay Area resident and women's basketball fan Joanie Lohman. Together, they met Gray-Lawson, an Oakland native who helped turn the University of California into a national powerhouse before ultimately playing in the WNBA. This episode dives into their united efforts to bring an expansion team to Oakland, why it should be Oakland as opposed to other cities in the Bay Area, the growth of women's basketball and it's impact on young women, and how they will continue to spread their message.
