Kelsey Plum's Mercury Trade, WNBA All-Star Recap & Olivia Miles' "Welcome to the W" Moment | Ep. 45

We might still be recovering from WNBA All-Star Weekend, but the regular season is back and the league wasted no time giving us plenty to talk about!

Candace Parker and Aliyah Boston kick things off by recapping an unforgettable 2026 WNBA All-Star Weekend, including Team Coop's victory, Jonquel Jones' All-Star MVP performance, and the record-breaking attendance. They also react to Azzi Fudd becoming the first rookie and first Dallas Wings player to win the WNBA 3-Point Contest, plus all the viral moments from the StudBudz' legendary 72-hour livestream, Holly Rowe dancing to Mo Bamba, and Caitlin Clark being revealed as the cover athlete for the NBA 2K Deluxe Edition.

Then it's back to the regular season, where the Indiana Fever continue making history. Candace and AB break down the Fever setting a WNBA single-season record for 100-point games, Caitlin Clark's fourth career triple-double, and Kelsey Mitchell's incredible streak of 20-point performances. They also discuss why the Fever vs. Minnesota Lynx matchup felt like a potential playoff preview, with Kelsey Mitchell and Olivia Miles trading buckets, before reacting to the blockbuster trade sending Kelsey Plum from the Los Angeles Sparks to the Phoenix Mercury.

To wrap things up, Candace and Aliyah hand out their midseason WNBA awards, debating whether A'ja Wilson has taken over the MVP race, whether Olivia Miles is the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year, and which teams look like true championship contenders heading into the second half of the season.
