  • It's not often you get to hear from one of the best to ever do it. But that's what we have this week, as ANDRE IGUODALA and EVAN TURNER sat down with hoops legend SUE BIRD. The recently-retired Bird reflected on her two decades in the WNBA, shared stories about lessons learned at UConn and from , and even given Andre a little advice on life after Plus, Sue - who almost has too many titles to count, between the Seattle Storm, UConn, and Olympics - picks her favorite championship, and ranks her top five women's players ever.
    The Point Forward podcast, hosted by former NBA teammates and current best friends Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner, uses basketball as a pretext to honestly and openly talk about business, culture, race, tech, and, yes, sports. Specifically, over the course of weekly hour-long episodes that drop on #pointforwardfriday, Iguodala and Turner, discuss and debate current national and global events in a way that is meant to resonate with everyone from the Silicon Valley elite to teenagers on the south side of Chicago.

    Sue is the damn truth!! She was on Steph's head on that commercial. I agree with the wack narratives, but you also can't whine about equal pay and all that. The market is the market, period. The women's game is on the way up, especially if they do it right. Worse thing ever is to be compared to men. Stop ALL of that. Women ballers are nasty! But don't compete with men. Sue is dope! Her personality is magnetic. She's the one!
    I am still ticked about Iggy not playing last season. Never retire vs basketball hurts. Now these radio dudes are trying to throw Iggy under the bus because I guess he won't golf with them. Ridiculous notions they have. My 2 cents is I can see a lineup of JK, Steph, Wigs, Dray and Iggy hounding teams about 12 minutes a night. Just no dunking and need that vitamin D3 plus K2 to get those bones strong. I love Dante but he doesn't have that "goon" gear that you need late in the playoffs. But that is just my opinion.
    Coach Geno is unreal but Calhoun started it. Give him pioneer props. Geno had half the 20 most talented on his team every year with no one and done like Kentucky. How he did that is the question, but he got down no question.

      Facts. When I was around 10 when the WNBA came out, and I noticed they never strictly compared themselves to men. Their slogan was we got next and the dynasty of the Comets, with players like Cooper, Swoopes and Thompson kept me interested. Now its a gender/ politics war.

    Love you guys. Loved your basketball iq when you played, and love it even more now when you talk basketball (and shit haha). Nice opening theme with that weird beat and jazzy sax.
    And Sue Bird is so incredible in every way and beautiful.

    Andre being mad at the Lebron-Jordan comparison because Mike has 6, but not at the Lebron-Kobe. He should know him and Lebron are tied.😂💀🤷🏽‍♂️Kobe has 5, Lebron has 4.

    Having seen the league from its inception I differ from that the Houston Comets won all the first 4or 5 championships Cynthia Cooper and Cheryl Miller are better players Cynthia was over 30 years of age
