The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The NBA drama meter is OFF THE CHARTS. JuJu and Trysta break down the alleged tension between LeBron James and Lakers owner Jeanie Buss—and why the entire league is watching closely.

From there, things only get wilder:

• Giannis Antetokounmpo reportedly questioning his future in Milwaukee• The WNBA dropping its schedule in the middle of heated CBA negotiations• Ja Morant back in the headlines after another fight• And how ALL of this connects to power, leverage, and chaos across basketball

This episode is part NBA news, part league-wide side-eye, and 100% Alley Oop energy. Tap in.
