With the NBA Finals tipping off, Gabby and Mark talk about Michael Jordan returning to our screens to set the record straight, the great NBA draft conspiracy and why basketball is a bigger hit in Europe than the UK. That's with international basketball coach and host of The Athletic's NBA Daily podcast, Dave DuFour.

Comedian Lee Mack, or Mark's doppelganger, joins us to spill Soccer Aid secrets from playing with the legends and slate Gabby's sport.

Plus, Gabby and Mark react to the big dropouts for the Lionesses' Euros squad, wildcard Lois Boisson's record run at the French Open and calls from the likes of Mo Farah and Kelly Holmes for the UK to host the World Athletics Championships.
