Rise Of Womens Basketball: An Unfiltered Convo with Olympian Anneli Maley & WNBA Draftee Amy Atwell

Step into the world of women’s basketball like never before in this dynamic episode of The EasyDay Show! We’re joined by special guest Anneli Maley & Amy Atwell as we dive deep into the highs, hurdles, and hidden gems of the women’s game. From unique behind-the-scenes experiences to the art of coaching at the highest level, we explore everything — team rivalries, the evolution of skill and strategy, and the tough conversations around pay, perception, and respect in women’s sports. We tackle big topics like NIL’s impact on college hoops, how female athletes are often undersold, and what it takes to balance family, career, and elite performance. Plus, we sprinkle in a little fun — basketball trivia, a shoe giveaway, and a shoutout to our Real One of the Day Miela Sowah that you won’t want to miss.

NBL Expansion, All-Star Ideas, All-Time Record Debate & Josh Higgins from The Basketball Fix Podcast

In this episode of The Easy Day Show, hosts Devondrick Walker and Bryce Cotton welcome their second guest, Josh Higgins from The Basketball Fix. The discussion kicks off with thoughts on the NBL potentially emulating the NBA, particularly with All-Star weekend events like imports vs. locals, one-on-one tournaments, and more. Higgins shares his perspective on the real competitiveness and structure that would make such an event successful. The roundtable then moves to the subject of NBL expansion, analyzing the pros and cons of adding more teams and the strategic implications. They also float a provocative idea about introducing trades in the league to increase fan engagement and competition. The show wraps with two new segments: 'Real One of the Day,' celebrating player Orlando Johnson, and ‘Shoe Giveaway,' encouraging fan interaction with a chance to win a fresh pair of kicks. The hosts and their guest conclude with a reflective look at how basketball history could be more accurately honored by separating statistical records by era.
