Overview of Who Was The Best Guest This Week? | Postgame Show
This episode is a fast-paced, comedy-heavy Postgame Show segment where Dan Le Batard, Stugotz, and JuJu Gotti riff on current sports controversies, hand out weekly awards, and run through audience polls. The biggest topics were the Caitlin Clark WNBA poster issue, the physical Alyssa Thomas game incident, a surprising “LaMelo Ball trade” discussion, and JuJu’s picks for the best guest of the week.
Main Topics Discussed
WNBA poster and player control
JuJu brushed off the Caitlin Clark poster controversy, suggesting that these kinds of promotional decisions are often handled by agents and are largely out of the players’ control. His take: it’s “much ado about nothing.”
Alyssa Thomas / WNBA officiating controversy
The crew then turned to the altercation and officiating issues in the recent WNBA game between the teams. JuJu argued the referees failed to control the game, especially after a previous matchup earlier in the week featured heavy trash talk, technicals, and lingering tension tied to DeWanna Bonner’s exit from the Fever. Stephanie White’s postgame anger was also referenced as evidence the situation needed better officiating.
LaMelo Ball trade reaction
They discussed a seemingly shocking LaMelo Ball trade from Charlotte to Minnesota. JuJu reacted with humor, joking about how this affects the Wolves’ roster construction and noting the potential fit alongside Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert. He also suggested the move could work or fail depending on what other roster changes follow.
