In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, D Wright, and Chris Johnson sit down with WNBA legend Tina Thompson.
They talk legacy—Tina’s USC roots, red lipstick on the court, and how she helped shape women’s basketball. She breaks down Juju Watkins’ impact at USC, calling her a generational star bringing back Cheryl Miller vibes.
The convo hits NIL realities, with Tina praising the progress but raising concerns about education and “hush money” from collectives. She also shares proud mom moments about her son Dylan, now at Georgia Tech, and the grind it took to get there.
