Episode 14
Thursday, September 17, 2026 • Duration 01:09:15
In this episode of Girls Tripp, Caitlin Clark's defense deserves more credit, and Ryan Ruocco makes the case that Angel Reese has become underrated. Allie Clifton, Jordan Robinson and Ryan Ruocco break down Team USA's fifth straight World Cup gold, why Clark and Chelsea Gray were both essential, Breanna Stewart's “I'm built for this” mentality, Jackie Young's timely buckets and Kara Lawson's leadership.
Then Ryan Ruocco travels around the W: Jordan wants Indiana versus Atlanta, Ryan wants New York versus Las Vegas, and the crew explains the stakes of those potential first-round matchups. Ryan also weighs Cathy Engelbert's business legacy ahead of her year-end retirement.

Ryan Ruocco returns with a definitive claim: Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell are the most explosive backcourt in WNBA history, with real arguments that each is having the greatest statistical season ever at her position. Then the trio travels through all eight playoff teams — why Ryan and Jordan would both be shocked by a Valkyries Finals run, the NaLyssa Smith injury shaking up Vegas, Jordan Canada as Atlanta's Caitlin Clark stopper, and why the basketball gods owe Minnesota one.
Plus Ryan's four-name MVP ballot, the case for five-game first rounds, and Paige Bueckers's first taste of the playoffs.

Hours after Nneka Ogwumike announced her retirement, Cynthia Cooper breaks down what the W is losing, and the trio makes their plea for her real next job: WNBA Commissioner. Then Coop relives Hall of Fame weekend, from her 2010 induction with Karl Malone and Scottie Pippen to her admission that Dream Team hoopla unfocused the '92 team that became the last USA women's squad to lose at the Olympics.
Then the trio travels around the W — Taurasi's Ring of Honor, the 2027 All-Star Game landing in the Bay, why Coop says the Fever have everything they need to be champions, and Dallas needing the FIBA break most.

Hall of Famer Teresa Weatherspoon tells Allie Clifton and Jordan Robinson exactly what she did with that gold medal once she won it. TSpoon opens up about growing up the baby of six with a father who still holds a Minnesota Twins minor league grand slam record, running after her parents' car her freshman year at Louisiana Tech, the mentality shift that turned her into a defensive stopper under Leon Barmore, and the day, nine years ago to the day of this recording, that she lost her mom, including the nightly question her mother taught her to ask herself before bed. She also gets real about mentoring Chennedy Carter, telling her "forget basketball, I care about who you are as a person" and the phone call with Pat Summitt that reshaped how she demands greatness from every player she coaches.
Allie and Jordan close out with this week's Girls Trippin picks: Zia Cook and Shakira Austin's Passenger Princess cases, Sydney Taylor's Hitchhiker breakout, and Kayla McBride's WNBA record 43 point, 10 three night that Jordan says should be leading every headline.

Kelsey Plum Trade Grades: Sparks Win, Mercury's Gamble Could Be 'Disastrous' ft. Ryan Ruocco

Allie's off on a well-earned girls trip, so Ryan Ruocco climbs back in the passenger seat, and comes in hot with the trade that reshaped the deadline: the Sparks sent Kelsey Plum to the Mercury for Monique Akoa Makani, a 2027 first round pick, and a 2028 second rounder. Ryan breaks down exactly why it's a no brainer for LA and a real gamble for Phoenix if Plum walks in free agency. He and Jordan also dig into Minnesota's 108-100 win over Indiana, Olivia Miles' efficient 28 point outburst, Napheesa Collier's near triple double, and make the case that Breanna Stewart deserves serious MVP consideration right behind A'ja Wilson.
Then, in an extra long trip around the league, Ryan and Jordan hand out this week's full tank/empty tank report: Golden State's defense first surge, Washington's sneaky climb up the standings (with a shot at landing Chicago's No. 1 pick), and why Toronto and Portland are exactly where expansion teams are supposed to be right now.

Cynthia Cooper walked into WNBA All-Star practice expecting a normal Saturday, instead Barack Obama showed up mid-session, and she pulled out her phone to film the whole thing. From there she breaks down being named GM of "Team Coop" for the All-Star draft (losing the coin flip to Teresa "Spoon" Weatherspoon but countering her A'ja Wilson pick with Breanna Stewart), makes her case for the WNBA bringing a team back to Houston and finally retiring Tina Thompson and Sheryl Swoopes' Comets jerseys, and shares the advice she gives young hoopers.

In this episode of Girls Tripp, four-time MVP Cynthia Cooper is back and putting the question to the Fever: Caitlin Clark or Kelsey Mitchell, fresh off Mitchell's 28-point Player of the Week run. Coop breaks down why the pecking order has to be set before the playoff push, reacts to the Aces waiving Chennedy Carter ("make sure your house is in order"), and takes us inside her job as legend GM for the WNBA All-Star Game, from winning the coin toss over Teresa Weatherspoon to drafting nothing but scorers and refusing to trade Becky Hammon. Plus the story of Whitney Houston's secret national anthem at the first All-Star Game in 1999.
Then a Road Trippin' crossover: Richard Jefferson crashes the show, unboxes State Farm's All-Star Weekend gift, and relives his Celebrity 3-Point Contest before Allie takes her own shot Saturday at WLive in Chicago.

Ty Young: They Told Me to "Just Play Basketball" & How The W Finally Caught Up

12-year WNBA vet Ty Young joins Girls Tripp for the first time, and she doesn't hold back on what it cost to be herself. Young talks about being openly gay and living publicly with her partner while playing, catching backlash for her fashion and reality-TV life when the message was "just play basketball," and why she believes staying true to who she was may have shortened her career. She also revisits coaching a young A'ja Wilson (who still calls her "grandma"), playing for a trash-talking Bill Laimbeer, and how being a versatile 6'2" guard-forward kept her in the league for 12 years.
Then Ryan Ruocco travels around the W, breaking down the Commissioner's Cup atmosphere at Barclays and his theory that a great crowd is its own kind of star that pulls TV viewers in, why he wonders if the Kelsey-Plum-less Sparks should become sellers at the deadline, and how the expansion Valkyries climbed to third in the standings with no lottery pick and what opposing players call the best atmosphere in the league.

Cynthia Cooper didn't get drafted into the WNBA the normal way.Cynthia Cooper didn't get drafted into the WNBA the normal way. Playing in Italy, she mailed a packet to the league office, stats, an intro letter, and a VHS tape, then called to say it was coming. Renée Brown's response: "we've been looking for you, you're our top eight." Cooper revisits that moment, her advice for today's rookies, and her role rebuilding the Houston Comets for 2027, where she's openly recruiting JuJu Watkins.
Then Ryan Ruocco travels around the W, breaking down the 30th anniversary Sparks-Liberty game and the story behind his "double you bet" call on NECA's buzzer-beater, including the detail that his headset died mid-broadcast and he called the whole moment flying blind.

2007 No. 1 overall pick and Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Lindsey Harding joins Girls Tripp to talk about making just $40K as the top pick, why the W needs a developmental league, what it means to be a "first" everywhere she's gone, and her relationship with JJ Redick going back to their Duke days. Then Ryan Ruocco travels around the W — revealing the Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston pick-and-roll stat behind Indiana's record-breaking offense, making the case that Kelsey Plum is having one of the greatest guard seasons in league history, and explaining why the returning Houston Comets are set up better than any expansion team.
