- [00:01]
B
It was so great. Did you see my Instagram pictures?
- [00:04]
A
Did I see them? Hard eyes. Hard eyes. Hide eyes. And I purposely just for y', all. So you don't think I'm just the millennial and doesn't understand.
- [00:11]
C
I understand heart eyes.
- [00:13]
A
I just wanted to write it out.
- [00:14]
B
Oh, I love how you have to explain that. I want you to know when that comment came through, I was so weak.
- [00:20]
A
No vacation looks good on you, man. What's up everyone? And welcome back to another episode of Post Moves. I'm Candice Parker, here with my co host, Aaliyah Boston.

A
YouTube as you can see or some of you can hear. Hopefully you hear it. It's a little different. We're in Portland, Oregon right now.
- [01:13]
B
We are.
- [01:14]
A
We're at the Adidas summit in the beautiful state of Oregon where it's rainy and gloomy and cold and a mist in the air. I realized I'm. I'm getting soft.
- [01:26]
B
Yeah. I was about to say, are you trying to do like asmr? Like you're like whispering like, do you want to do asmr? We can.
- [01:32]
A
Am I. You know how it shouldn't be whispering. I feel like I hear myself.
- [01:36]
B
No, you're fine. I mean, you said you were getting like soft, so I was like asmr, Like.
- [01:40]
A
No, I meant soft like I'm from Chicago land and this is cold. Like Portland is cold and it's 50 degrees and it's rainy and cold and I didn't bring a coat because it didn't look at the weather. Cuz when I left LA, it was 80 degrees hill.
- [01:56]
B
So you're that type of person. You don't look at the weather before you go anywhere?
- [01:58]
A
No, because I think everybody, every place is like where I'm at.
- [02:01]
B
That's not how it works.
- [02:03]
A
But I also adjust because it's like how often are you really outside? Everybody does cold baths and cryotherapy. Like I just get that when I walk place to place.
- [02:12]
B
So it's perfect.
- [02:14]
A
Okay, you're from the islands.
- [02:17]
B
I'm in the island every day. Yeah. But I grew up in, in Boston, in Massachusetts. So there's nothing that surprised me. Now I could go outside in shorts, like I'm the typ that you have to tell me, like, go put sweats on. Because if I see 42 degrees, I'm like, oh, that's fine. A little hoodie on the top.
- [02:34]
A
Better than me. Cuz when I played in Russia, I was like, this is not for me. I'm going to live somewhere warm. I look at my parents every year in the dest winter and I'm like, you know, there are choices in life and this is a choice I will not make for my family. So, yep, la la forever. But anyway, speaking of LA forever, Dodgers, game seven.
- [02:56]
B
Game seven.
- [02:59]
A
Game of inches. Okay, chill out. Don't say congratulations. My daughter hit me because they had blue out all week. So because the Dodgers won the championship, she gets to wear free dress day every day this week. And they had blue out on Monday. And so of course she's like, technically the Cubs are blue, so. Oh, I'm supporting the Cubs too, because she knows I don't play about the Cubs, but I'm happy for the Dodgers. You talk about a game of inches. Yeah, I mean, Blue Jays had the Dodgers on the ropes. Bases loaded, only one out, and they couldn't get.
- [03:32]
B
Yeah.
- [03:33]
A
A run. Yeah, it's crazy. Can you. No, but like, for real, because they won in the 11th inning.
- [03:39]
B
Yep.
- [03:39]
A
They won 54 sh. Otani showed out the entire series. But I know what it's like to lose in a Game 5 scenario in the finals, and it sucks. So you put all that into it and you come away with this feeling, yeah, man, if you ain't first, you last in this world. So shout out to the Blue Jays.
- [04:03]
B
Motivation.
- [04:04]
A
Hell of a season. However, Dodgers come out on top inches with the home. I mean, inches. Y separated World Series champs versus runner up. And I. I come from a household of like, if you're not first or last.
- [04:20]
B
So. Exactly. You know what? You know, growing up, that's literally what I would say. So I had a younger cousin and she did gymnastics and she would always go to, like, her gymnastics competition. I'd be like, make sure you win. Because if you don't, like, it doesn't matter what happens after. Like, it's either you win or you don't. And she used to get so mad because she was like, that's not motivation. What do you mean? It is motivation. Win or you've. You've done nothing, you know, And. And that's why. That's what I pride myself on to this day. But anyways, don't worry about that.
- [04:49]
A
Yeah, I mean, Ricky Bobby, in the world of Talladega Nights, if he ain't first, you last. He lived his whole life by that. So. Yeah, that's how. That's how I grew up, too. So none of this, like, you know, participation trophies.
- [05:05]
B
I don't do participation. It's never that serious because it doesn't count. But what I do need to know, Candace, is what were you for Halloween?
- [05:14]
A
Well, we had a dress as your favorite album cover party, and I came as the one, the only Alicia Keys, period.
- [05:24]
B
Yeah, I was.
- [05:26]
A
I couldn't find a bigger green. Okay. Body tea.
- [05:28]
B
Body tea. Heart eyes. Oh, heart eyes. Okay.
- [05:33]
A
I didn't want to mess up my braids and put the beads, but, yeah, you get the drift. You know, we can. We can do the comparison of the covers, but just as Alicia Keys. My youngest son was Bruno Mars. He was the cutest Bruno Mars ever. And then my older son, he was Usher My way with the Goggles. My daughter was Aaliyah, and my wife was Dua Lipa. So we had a great time.
- [05:57]
B
So everyone was everyone just to impress.
- [05:59]
A
Everybody rolled through so fun. D. Wade came as Men in Black. We had a. We had a number of, like, run DMCs that killed it. You know, the staples, some Nirvana with the dollar bill in the swimming pool.
- [06:13]
B
Wow.
- [06:14]
A
Yeah, we had some creativity as well.
- [06:17]
B
So I'm. I'm glad I didn't. Did my invite get lost in them?
- [06:21]
A
Girl, you wouldn't fly into LA for no Halloween party.
- [06:24]
B
I could have sent a picture in the mail.
- [06:26]
A
We were on vacation. How was your vacation?
- [06:29]
B
It was so great. Did you see my Instagram pictures?
- [06:32]
A
Did I see them? I did exactly what I was supposed to. Hard eyes. Hard eyes. Hot eyes. And I purposely. Just for y', all, so you don't think I'm just the millennial and doesn't understand.
- [06:44]
C
I understand hard eyes.
- [06:46]
A
I just wanted to write it out.
- [06:47]
B
Oh, I love how you have to explain that. TT Hard eyes. Hard eyes. I want you to know, when that comment came through, I was so week.
- [06:57]
A
No vacation looks good on you, man. I'm happy for you. R and R is needed, especially on a beach. Nice little cocktail. What did you. Did you have a little. Nice little cocktail?
- [07:07]
B
I did. I had multiple cocktails.
- [07:09]
A
What's your cocktail of choice, please?
- [07:11]
B
I just told a bartender to make me his best hitter.
- [07:14]
A
Oh, that's dangerous.
- [07:15]
B
And that's what he did.
- [07:17]
A
Wow, you have a lot of trust.
- [07:19]
B
Yeah, you know what? Why not? Vibes are high. You know, keep it up.
- [07:25]
A
All right, it's time for what we Want to Talk about, presented by AT&T. Connecting our fans to everything happening on and off the court. Let's get into it.
- [07:34]
B
I feel like there's no better way to start, you know, than the 2026 Women's Basketball hall of Fame class. Drum roll, please. Who should we start with?
- [07:48]
A
You just called your own drum roll and then did your own drum.
- [07:54]
B
Who should we start with? Big Candace. See yourself up there.
- [08:03]
A
Yeah. It's crazy. It's insane.
- [08:06]
B
Wow.
- [08:07]
A
And shout out to the entire class of 2026. Elena Deladon. Had some amazing battles, amazing career. Isabelle Kowski, one French League championship. Played for the Cleveland Rockers. Amaya Valdemaro, I played against her overseas. She won, gosh, eight Spanish titles. Doris Burke, infamous Doris Burke, basketball voice for three decades. Cheryl Reeve, four time coach of the year. You know what she does? Four championships with the Minnesota Links. Kim Mole. I mean, geez. 1078 wins in nearly four decades of coaching. Barbara Kennedy Dixon, posthumous nominee, played at Clemson, was the first Division 1 women's basketball scoring leader in 1982. The induction is going to occur in Knoxville on June 27th. And, yeah, I'm excited. To Knoxville, I'll be honest.
- [09:06]
B
Congratulations.
- [09:07]
A
Thank you.
- [09:08]
B
Girl, you're like, you're up here. People dream to be up there. Are you kidding me?
- [09:14]
A
Appreciate you, A.B. it's a huge honor. Obviously, I'm super proud that the Women's Basketball hall of Fame is in Knoxville because I think Tennessee, in general, the state, has, I mean, helped build what women's basketball is today. And I can remember watching Pat Summit's speech when she was in the, you know, inducted into the hall of Fame. And so it's super special. I think coach is smiling and I'm super grateful for all the texts and the calls. So thank you. Appreciate it. I hope to see you there. Maybe you don't have a game June 27th and we can do a live show there.
- [09:51]
B
Yeah, turn up thr that. Thr that.
- [09:54]
A
Other ne news. The CBA, which was set to expire October 31st. The WNBA and the Players association have agreed to an a 30 day extension for negotiations, and both sides now have an extra month to finalize. I think we've talked about. We've talked about this over and over and over again on our podcast. What the biggest issues are, what they're trying to accomplish. Rev sharing within the league, within the new TV deal, within the teams, the standard for which athletes have not only just salary, but Making life easier with support staff, facilities, travel, all of those things. So I think more time will help. However, gotta get this done because you want. You want an off season that you're building on a historically year. You don't want to go into, you know, into the spring and not have this done.
- [10:54]
B
I agree.
- [10:56]
A
Unrivaled.
- [10:57]
B
It's almost time for unrivaled.
- [10:59]
A
Oh, my goodness. Life comes at you fast. I'm saying that. But y' all get more than two weeks. We used to get 10 days to 14 days before we had to go overseas. Y' all are soft.
- [11:07]
B
Feels like it's around the corner anyway.
- [11:09]
A
Y' all are soft. No, I'm just kidding. 48 players have been all announced. 28 players are returning from last year. So if my math is correct, that means that 20 new players have signed on.
- [11:19]
B
Yes. Fantastic. Last week, Tennessee.
- [11:22]
A
Yeah. Last week's league announced its final three players. Arie McDonald, Indiana Fever.
- [11:28]
B
Yes.
- [11:28]
A
It's good to see her back healthy. Rebecca Allen, Chicago Sky. New player in Dominique Malanga.
- [11:34]
B
Yes.
- [11:36]
A
French, 6 foot 6 center, Seattle storm. It's gonna be amazing. And we got some notable. You included two additional teams in the Hive and the Breeze.
- [11:49]
B
Yep.
- [11:50]
A
And the rosters will be revealed on Wednesday night, 7pm Eastern time.
- [11:57]
B
I'm excited. I was making jokes today and I was like, what if they, you know, place Kelsey and I on the same team? Kelsey, Lexi, Arie and I on the same. And Aaliyah Edwards was like, girls, stop playing around. You're not even funny. I was like, whoa, I can't just vibe for my Fever.
- [12:12]
A
Girls like, that would be crazy if you all ended up on the same team. However, if you were to pick two non Fever players to play with, you say that. Who are you picking? And if you're smart, you'll pick a guard because bigs like guards that will get them the ball.
- [12:31]
B
That's really good. Maybe I'd play with Ka. I think that'd be pretty fun. And I. I mean, I can't play with the Fever player.
- [12:44]
A
No, I. I just made that rule.
- [12:47]
B
Well, then I definitely go with my girl De Erica again.
- [12:49]
A
Well, I like that. I like that. I like that. Unrivaled coaches they announced for all eight teams headlined by Nola Henry, who is the returning as head coach of the defending champion. Rose got Nola Henry, Rose, Noel Quinn, Newby Breeze, Raina Wakama, Hive, Andrew Wade, Laces, D.J. sackman, Lunar Owls, Zach O', Brien, Mist, R.E. hodges, Phantom and Teresa Teaspoon for the vinyl and the season will begin January 5th and run into March. And all games will air on TNT and True TV with streaming on HBO Max. So it's exciting because WNBA fans don't have to wa. Don't have to wait too long to watch their stars do what they do. It's a different brand of basketball, but as those that watched last year, it's exciting. And every game has a game winner, which I love.
- [13:48]
B
It's going to be great. It's going to be great.
- [13:50]
A
WNBA star Paige Becker's to lead sports pick Jess and Pearl. Period.
- [13:58]
B
Paige. I mean, she doing everything, ain't she?
- [14:00]
A
Taking her talents to Hollywood. Signed on to star an upcoming Apple original sports film called Jess and Pearl. She's also going to be an executive producer on it. The sports drama is based on an original idea by Zaire McGee, who also wrote and produced on Scandal. Okay, so you really gonna be acting, Paige? She really shouldn't be doing the lip. The little Carrie Washington.
- [14:23]
B
That's a mean lip she got.
- [14:27]
A
She can act her butt off I her and fits in.
- [14:30]
B
I know, I'm. Never mind. I was going to add something, but it's just. They were just too good. They were too good.
- [14:38]
A
It's actually insane how their chemistry on air couple, like, I would say they rank up there with. I would say Melanie and Derwin from the game.
- [14:48]
B
Yes, yes.
- [14:50]
A
I would say other on screen couples. What's the other on screen couples that I liked? I mean, you gotta go with, like, you gotta go with what, Zach and Kelly.
- [15:02]
B
Yeah, they were good too. They were so annoying.
- [15:05]
A
Like them a lot. Trying to think of other couples. But anyway, Paige, I can't wait to watch it. It's set in the world of women's basketball. The film follows two phenoms who forge an extraordinary bond as teammates until fame, competition and the ruthless business of college athletics threatens to turn their friendship into an epic rivalry.
- [15:28]
B
It's gonna be great. Candace, I just have a question, though.
- [15:31]
A
Yes?
- [15:32]
B
Talking about all this, like, acting. Do you know your first acting credit listed on IMDb? Do you know what that was?
- [15:40]
A
You know what's really crazy? I do.
- [15:44]
B
What was.
- [15:47]
A
Was Kevin Durant's movie. What the heck is that movie called? It was basically he lost his basketball powers.
- [15:59]
B
What?
- [16:01]
A
Thunderstruck. Okay, there it is. Thunderstruck. But I don't remember Madagascar. Oh, I did voice that over. That's crazy. But love that girl. Oh, I forgot about love that girl. But I knew about thunderstruck. I knew about thunderstruck. And honestly, Layla's friends only knew me as Candace Parker from Nikki. Ricky, Dickie, and Don.
- [16:22]
B
You're alive.
- [16:23]
A
I swear I did your episode. And people, little kids still come up to me and are like, are you? And I'm like, yeah. And they're like, you were on Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn. And I'm like, wow, that's. That's what we're doing. That's what you know me from. So, yeah, that's.
- [16:39]
B
That actually scared me. So should we, like, watch a clip or two? What it do? Thickums. Girl, you look better with the lights. Do it.
- [16:51]
C
You make me feel so special when I see you.
- [16:54]
A
I'm gonna give you something.
- [16:55]
B
Oh.
- [16:58]
A
Yeah.
- [16:59]
B
Oh.
- [16:59]
A
It was some of my acting. I mean, it got better with time. I feel like thunderstruck. I was myself.
- [17:06]
B
No, I want to watch this one, though. This, personally was my favorite. Do you know what dress you were wearing? Oh, body. Tea Body.
- [17:17]
A
This yellow dress in the Afro that they put me in the heels.
- [17:23]
B
You didn't tell me you can dump from the free throw line.
- [17:25]
C
Oh, you mean my height? I didn't want to scare you, so I figured, you know, in person's the.
- [17:31]
B
Best way, period, because don't tell me about your height. Okay, but wait, wait for. Do you drink?
- [17:36]
C
No, I don't drink.
- [17:37]
B
Okay.
- [17:37]
C
I'm gonna need one, though.
- [17:38]
A
Maybe two.
- [17:39]
B
Maybe a step ladder with wheels. I can't lie. That's my favorite part.
- [17:46]
A
Who is this?
- [17:47]
C
I'm his future.
- [17:49]
B
Clock it. Clock it. Because who are you? Oh. Cause who are you? That was.
- [17:57]
A
Yeah, that was many moons ago. I can't believe. I can't believe how many years ago that was.
- [18:03]
B
All right, Candace, you did mention thunderstruck, so we have one more clip for you. Hey, what up, Candace? Hey, I'm just meet y' all in the lobby when y' all finished, all right? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- [18:15]
A
Candace was just leaving. Oh, no, I'm not.
- [18:17]
C
I'm gonna tell him what I've been telling you.
- [18:19]
B
Tell me what?
- [18:20]
C
Alan put together this marketing push selling me as the female Kevin Durant.
- [18:24]
B
Oh, that's cool right there.
- [18:25]
C
But the only problem is you're terrible. When you want to mess with your future, that's one thing. But now you're messing with mine.
- [18:32]
B
Hey, look, Kansas, I've been in the gym.
- [18:33]
C
No, I don't want to hear it. I'm not done. Your mechanics are terrible, your form is awful, and you can't shoot a BB in ocean. Kd, you're better than that. You need to get in the gym, get buckets again.
- [18:45]
A
Okay. Are you good?
- [18:48]
B
Good.
- [18:48]
A
Are we good?
- [18:49]
B
Great. Should we hug it out? Get these buckets.
- [18:53]
C
But don't mess with my money.
- [18:54]
B
I won't.
- [18:55]
C
And you neither.
- [19:00]
A
Yo, don't mess with my money, kd. Don't mess with my money. You right, kd. Don't mess with my money. Selling me as the female kd. No. Thunder Shock was so fun. You know, I flew down to. Actually, it was in, I think New Orleans. Flew down there, recorded that real quick. It was like my first little movie cameo. And that was like a pretty cool movie. It's like the like Mike type of theme. But we'll keep it moving. That was a fun time. Acting is fun. I'm telling my dream and I'm gonna speak it into existence.
- [19:33]
B
Yes. Let's hear it.

A
I'm gonna do the remake of Love and Basketball. That's my dream in life and I'm gonna put it out there for all the post ups out there.

B
After we won the national championship in 2022, I saw you, Candace, in the crowd, and I just grabbed the mic and said it. I love you, girl.
- [20:21]
C
And I felt that because I saw myself in you. The joy, the pressure, the entire journey.
- [20:26]
B
You've always been someone that I've looked up to. And hearing you say you got this, that meant more to me than you probably even know.

- [23:23]
A
We've got a lot to talk about. Obviously we're going to talk about South Carolina and Tennessee on the show quite a bit. But you know what? I feel like we need to make things interesting this season. Maybe some kind of bet. I know it might be a bad timing for that, but yeah, that's mostly not.
- [23:44]
B
Maybe, maybe Maybe some type of agreement. I don't know. Let's just not call it.
- [23:50]
A
Yeah, but I mean, like an action. Not like, we're not exchanging, like, you know, secondary reinforcements here. It's just. Hey, listen, listeners, post ups. You guys can help send some ideas of what this bed is my initial throwout, and this is what I do with most of my friends, is I do anytime push ups. So I bet anytime push ups. So if right now you're. You owe me 10 anytime push ups, I could be like, yo, do a push up right now. And you gotta get down and you gotta do a push up. So we could be walking through the grocery store. I could see you at a game.
- [24:22]
B
Don't.
- [24:23]
A
And you gotta do it anytime push up. So that's what I think we should do.
- [24:28]
B
Okay, Slay. I mean, I hope you're ready to do your push ups, because. What?
- [24:31]
A
Yeah, I'm born ready. AP Top 25 is out, and UConn's number one, South Carolina, two.
- [24:38]
B
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Go game.
- [24:40]
A
UCLA three after their final four last year. Texas, four, losing a heartbreaker right before the Final Four. No, they were at the Final Four last year.
- [24:50]
B
I lied. Yeah, we. South.
- [24:51]
A
South Carolina beat Texas at the Final Four. Lsu, top five. Little Oklahoma, Malaysia on their roster. Oklahoma, Duke.
- [25:02]
B
God damn. They just fell today, actually.
- [25:04]
A
Just fell. So they probably will not be in the top 10. And then Tennessee, eight.
- [25:10]
B
I mean, that's pretty good. Not top five, but that's good.
- [25:13]
A
You said Tennessee's not top five.
- [25:16]
B
Yeah, I mean, I was just reading based on AP.
- [25:18]
A
Well, similar to how we said it, you know, first year, last. It's not how you start.
- [25:21]
B
You.
- [25:22]
A
It's how you finish.
- [25:23]
B
Oh, okay. Period. So, yeah.
- [25:24]
A
So here's what we're going to do. We're each giving our top five. Okay.
- [25:31]
B
Okay.
- [25:31]
A
So we're gonna give our top five of how the season is going to end.
- [25:37]
B
Okay.
- [25:37]
A
Okay.
- [25:38]
B
Okay. Yep.
- [25:39]
A
Can I just throw this out there? I know juju has said that she's not coming back this year, but Jazzy Davis is really good. Really good.
- [25:50]
B
He's a Hooper.
- [25:51]
A
Yeah. So don't sleep on usc. I don't know if they're in my top five. I'm gonna go through the motions and see how I feel.
- [25:58]
B
Yeah. But I know who's. I know who's number one. South Carolina.
- [26:02]
A
Okay.
- [26:05]
B
South Carolina. Go Gamecocks.
- [26:07]
A
Okay. And this is right now or how it's gonna end?
- [26:10]
B
How it's gonna end.
- [26:14]
A
Okay.
- [26:15]
B
You don't think so? You think we should do right now.
- [26:18]
A
No, we can do how it's gonna end.
- [26:20]
B
Okay, that's fine.
- [26:23]
A
You're going to just do your one through five. Okay.
- [26:35]
B
It's the way though. LSU always finds themselves. But hold on on that. I don't know if I'm ready for that yet. Candace, I feel like you should do too.
- [26:44]
A
Okay. I got Connecticut and that pains me to say it, but when you have two of the best players in college, I mean Sarah Strong isn't talked about enough.
- [26:54]
B
Yeah.
- [26:54]
A
A Fudd coming off most outstanding player last year. Figuring out how to win is a muscle. And once you build that muscle, it's like it's really hard to beat that team. So I'll say Yukon 1. I got Tennessee 2. I think Tennessee's up and down pace the space they generate with their three point shooting, their physicality. Another year under coach Kawo. I think they're going to be great. For my third, I'm going to go with. I'm going to go with ucla. I think UCLA is going to figure it out. They got, you know, the Betts sisters who actually are, you know, gonna be able to get up and down the court and like have. Have another year. Lauren bets of understanding like how. What it takes to win. I think we're.
- [27:51]
B
I'd love to see Lauren stretch that floor though a little bit.
- [27:54]
A
Yeah. But her sister, her sister does that, you know. And so I think her sister's gonna come in and kind of make things easier for her from that standpoint. So I think ucla, I think South Carolina and then I'll go lsu.
- [28:08]
B
I was gonna add LSU to mine. LSU always finds a way no matter what. And they have talent like they really do. They have flat out Hoopers.
- [28:16]
A
I like Malaysia and the role she's playing now.
- [28:19]
B
Yeah. Okay. Looks like I still have two more. I really want to put UCLA up there. I really do. Don't know if I will though.
- [28:34]
A
You got two more.
- [28:36]
B
I know, I know, I know. I'm thinking. I mean, I guess throw ucla. I'm not putting Tennessee though. It won't even hold you. So let's. Okay, let's do. I don't think I have a choice. I don't think I have a choice. Yeah, throw Tennessee in there. But you know who I really would love to see? I. I can't wait to see how it plays out? Tcu.
- [29:18]
A
Like I like Olivia Miles.
- [29:20]
B
Like I think TCU really can have a good squad. And so I was gonna put them up there. Can we do like put TCU up there? By default, just put them up there with my slide. I. Yeah. And I'm very interested to see how it, how it's gonna play because I think.
- [29:36]
A
Okay, so that's your shocker team we'll say. Right, My shocker team. I agree with you with tcao, but I want another tiebreaker in case our top fives look similar. I think Michigan, Michigan had a season last year, had some upsets, shock. Some people being young, a lot of their class transferred the year before. They had a freshman heavy class coming in last year. I think her name is Swords.
- [30:03]
B
Yep, yep.
- [30:04]
A
She can flat out hoop. She's a Hooper and flat out hoop. So I think Michigan is like my sleeper team. Yeah.
- [30:15]
B
All right. I like it.
- [30:18]
A
Me too. What do you think about the best player going into 20, 25, 26?
- [30:24]
B
Oh, you know, I arrived for my Gamecocks. But if I'm keeping it real, I think Sarah strong, seriously, her ability to do anything on the floor, make the right path. She's been stretching the floor since she was in high school. She showed that last year her ability to just post up, get to her spot. I really think she is like top dog.
- [30:47]
A
I would not disagree with you.
- [30:49]
B
Yeah.
- [30:50]
A
In that however, I would like to add Madison Booker to the conversation. I think Madison Booker is a Hooper, is a flat out mid range master. And you also have to give respect to Az Fudd who was an outstanding player last year. And so I think sometimes it is difficult playing on Connecticut because you are playing in a conference that a lot of times you're going to have blowouts and you're going to have games where Sarah strong and easy foot aren't going to play as many minutes.
- [31:24]
B
Yeah, but they're still going to do their thing regardless.
- [31:26]
A
No, they're still going to do their thing. But it's sometimes when you have two powerhouses on one team, they kind of X each other out, you know, as opposed to Madison Booker. She's kind of the score on that team. Olivia Miles is definitely going to run tcu. Let's give Hannah Hidalgo some love at Notre Dame because plays both end of the. Both ends of the floor. Audi Crooks holding it down at Iowa State has a new teammate in. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Jada.
- [31:52]
B
Jada Williams.
- [31:53]
A
Jada Williams. It's going to be a great year. I mean, Michaela Blakes, she's the one that drops.
- [32:00]
B
I actually love watching her play. I love watching her play. She's just a bucket getter.
- [32:05]
A
I love her game. And Michaela Williams, LSU freshman that came in has grown, I believe, as a junior now this year. But she came in after their national championship, and it was just crazy to watch her skill set. So I think she takes that leap, especially with, you know, Malaysia next to her. And that backcourt is going to be crazy.
- [32:27]
B
And don't forget any of my Gamecocks. Raven, Tessa, Joyce, you name it. Tania Latson, she is one of the best players going into this season. Don't forget my Gamecocks. Thank you.
- [32:39]
A
Nobody's forgetting Gamecocks. Nobody's forgetting volunteers, but let's see how this list ends up. And we bet anytime. Push ups. Shake on it.
- [32:51]
B
It's now time for you got this, presented by Adidas. There's nothing like a great assist to help us remember you got this. Learn more about the you got this message@adidas.com yougot this and follow the action on Instagram. Adidas and Adidas us. Every week we're going to shout out someone who inspired us, rose to the occasion, or made their moment count. This week, my you got this moment goes to Helen o', Beary, who set a new women's New York City marathon record with 2 hours, 19 minutes and 51 seconds. And she beat the previous record by over two minutes. I'm impressed. Okay. I don't even know how you finish a marathon so fast, because I remember when we were in high school and our AAU coach used to make us send us our mile time. That's impressive.
- [33:42]
A
What's your best mile?
- [33:45]
B
I don't know. Like, probably like six minutes.
- [33:50]
A
Six minutes is actually pretty good.
- [33:51]
B
Six minutes, pretty good.
- [33:54]
A
Well, to put that in perspective, her average mile time, and that's a marathon, which totals 26.22 miles. Her average marathon mile time was 5 minutes and 20 seconds.
- [34:10]
B
That's literally crazy.
- [34:13]
A
Yeah, I people.
- [34:15]
B
And that's average. Like, that was a good day. Like, when I was running my low mile time, it was because I had to sprint. I really had to impress my coach this. She was just pacing. She wasn't even in a rush.
- [34:27]
A
It's crazy that the old record of 2 minutes or 2 hours, 22 minutes, 31 seconds was set by Margaret Okayo in 2003. It took over 20 years to beat that time. So obviously, we'll give Margaret some love. That was incredible for it to, you know, stand for that long, but, geez, I just am not built for. No, I'm not distance running.
- [34:55]
B
No, I. I don't. It's just not for me.
- [34:58]
A
But, you know, people that say they get the runners High.
- [35:01]
B
I get the runners low. I never got it. I want to stop running.
- [35:06]
A
I've never got it. I've tried so hard and believe me, we ran in college. You could give me a sprint. I will sprint.
- [35:13]
B
Yes. I will do that all day.
- [35:15]
A
100 and then stop and then sprint. Just running. And then just people that just get up and they just decide to run till they decide to stop running. Yeah. That is incredible. So, Helen Oberi, congratulations.
- [35:38]
B
Proud of you.
- [35:39]
A
Congrats. Give me what you are doing mentally, physically, emotionally, all of those things.
- [35:45]
B
Please, please. All right. Well, that was my you got this moment presented by Adidas. Next week, it's back to you, Candace.
- [35:58]
A
All right. Of course we had to end with some fan questions. Y' all had some crazy ones for Sid last week. If you want to be featured on the show, keep sending them in. You can send DMS to the post moves Instagram or leave it in the episode comments on YouTube. The first question is from.
- [36:14]
B
Mari.
- [36:14]
A
Say Maria.
- [36:20]
B
And I'm sitting here nodding my head with you.
- [36:22]
A
Like, spaces are important in grammar. The first question is from Aria Sehis 9210. And I apologize if I butcher your last name. What is your favorite and absolutely not doing food or snack?
- [36:39]
B
Ooh, I know what my favorite absolutely not doing food or snack is. And that's pickles. Anything that has to do with pickles, anything associated with pickles, don't even bring it near me. I don't play that. I never want to play that. And seriously, we can end a friendship over you, like putting a pickle on my sandwich after I said no pickles. Favorite, like, food. I don't know. I feel like I'm like a wings girl. Like, I could do wings, like, any time. Like, I'm for that.
- [37:05]
A
You like wings?
- [37:06]
B
Yeah.
- [37:07]
A
I have not eaten pork in cheese, like, almost 15 years, maybe. No, not 15 years. Probably like more like 12 years. We had a pet pig and I was like, I can't eat something that lives in my house. And so I stopped eating pork. Yeah, like, I don't. I'm not gonna eat my dog, so I'm not gonna eat my pig. But anywho, Leila used to eat a sausage, egg and cheese McMuffin and hold Boo. That was our pig and some fell off and then he ate, which was awful. But anywho, anyways, pork. So no pork grinds or anything like that. But my favorite, My favorite guilty pleasure snack is Reese's Cups. I can eat a peanut butter like that. I can eat a Reese's Cup No, I don't do peanut butter like that, but I do Reese's cups. Chocolate and peanut butter does something.
- [38:02]
B
I'll do like M M's with the peanuts, though. Peanut M M's. Those are my thing. I like those, too. All right, next question from cgibson6349, talking coaches, name some current, former or retired WNBA players that you think would make strong coaches in the league or college level.
- [38:21]
A
Candace Parker, Christy Toliver. I think Christy Tolliver is going to be one of the next best coaches in the league and wherever she decides to coach.
- [38:34]
B
Okay, what about you? I vote you come coach me.
- [38:39]
A
You don't want me as a coach. Believe me, you don't want that. I'll pull up to Indy real quick. I'll pull up to Indy and be your personal coach. That would actually. We should do a skit. No, we should @J, not 1, 2, 3. Please explain how the distribution of your water bottles and towels are handled during the game. Do you each have a specific water bottle that someone refills and hands you? And do you get a new towel every time you come off the court? And who cares for all that? Because give those people a shout out.
- [39:10]
B
Yeah, shout out to them. Seriously. We do have personalized water bottles, so they have our names on it. And yes, usually our girl Kristen, she will refill our waters.
- [39:20]
A
Kristen was in Vegas with me.
- [39:22]
B
Yeah. So Kristen waters. And sometimes if you are like Gatorade, she's like getting whatever you need. And yes, we typically do get fresh towels every time we step on the floor because I, I need a fresh towel after anything. Just one run down the floor. Let me just get that towel. But we definitely do have new towels and after every. During every time out. So. But our girl Kristen, she does the water, she does the Gatorade. She is on top of it. So shout out to you guys.
- [39:48]
A
My favorite thing is when it's getting like, it's the early part of the season and everybody's kind of getting used to the personalities of everybody and whatever. And when you come off the court, like some people want their water in their towel right away. And then some people need a minute, especially if they're.
- [40:02]
B
That's literally me.
- [40:04]
A
And so you see the person handing the the towel or the water and the other person's not grabbing it, and it's the connection. But then throughout the season you learn.
- [40:13]
B
Yep.
- [40:14]
A
And it's great.
- [40:15]
B
So, like, there were times where I got off the court and sometimes I'll take it right away and then other times. I'm like, on another level, I'm not even there. And Kristen's like. And then she'll give it to KK, because I usually sit to KK's left. And KK will be like, whenever you're ready, your water and towel are right here. I'm like. I'm like, thank you. And that's usually how it goes.
- [40:35]
A
What are you about to build up to? You're about to build up to what? A crash.
- [40:41]
B
But it's slow.
- [40:42]
A
That slow crash out. But no doubt, shout out to everybody that helps us do what we do on the court. I think those people don't get enough credit, you know, making sure that our laundry and our socks and everything like that are the way that we like them. Because as a basketball player, some people are superstitious, some people like things a certain way. And you need vibes to be your best on the court. So shout out to everybody behind the scenes that that takes care of us. That's a wrap on this week's episode of Post Moves. New episodes drop every Wednesday.
