She discusses what drove her intensity in the ring, the anger she carried from years of domestic abuse, and the deal she...

The show shifts to the NBA's explosive offseason, covering major trades involving Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jalen Brown, LaMelo Ball, Ja Morant, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George, and whether LeBron James should pursue one final championship run or step away on top.
