Queens of the Court: A New Dynasty Emerges from the WNBA | HARD PASS Ep. 16

A new dynasty is emerging in the WNBA. Caitlin Clark + Paige Bueckers + Angel Reese = 👑 Three young stars. Three different styles. One era-defining debate. Are we watching the formation of a modern-day Michael Jordan / Larry Bird / Magic Johnson trio? Think about it: Caitlin Clark is the face of the WNBA; Paige Bueckers is already being called the most efficient rookie in years. And Angel Reese? She’s the firebrand fans either love—or love to argue about. Are they following in the footsteps of these iconic athletes... or becoming icons in their own right?

Plus, a fast-paced Summer League game between the Nets and Knicks sets up a strong betting opportunity. Doug breaks down why the over is worth your money—and what to look for beyond just stats.
