Hour 2: Zaslow's Football Fetish (feat. Rachel Nichols)

Victor Wembanyama doesn’t even need to start to completely flip a game on its head. On this episode of The Alley Oop Basketball Show on DLS Hoops, Juju Gotti and Trysta Krick break down how Wemby lifted the Spurs just by coming off the bench — blocking everything in sight, dominating the paint, and casually stuffing the stat sheet like it’s light work. The hosts also dig into the growing tension between Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks — is this the beginning of a real breakup, or just another NBA power struggle brewing behind the scenes? And finally… Steph Curry might be the only superstar in the league who can sell shoes while barely wearing his own.  Juju and Trysta react to Steph rocking seemingly every sneaker brand except his own, and what that says about sneaker culture, endorsements, and Curry’s legacy. From generational talent to franchise drama to sneaker comedy — this episode has it all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
