Ep #421: NBA Cup final preview, plus Unrivaled makes major money moves

The GIST of It

It’s hoopin’ time!
Today’s episode of The GIST of It is all about the hardwood. First, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz preview today’s NBA Cup final between the in-season tournament’s two No. 1 seeds: The Milwaukee Bucks and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Trust us — you won’t want to miss this star-powered showdown featuring a pair of perennial MVP candidates in Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo and OKC’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
And all that glitters is green in part two, where the gals discuss Unrivaled’s latest money moves. The brand-new 3v3 women’s league will tip off its inaugural season in January and just signed a serious ledger of high-profile investors, allowing Unrivaled to pay all of its players six-figure salaries. Cha-ching.
