Daniel Artest opens the first ever episode of Real Basketball Talk: No Hot Takes with something personal. TC31 has officially retired. Tina Charles. Queens bred, UConn made, WNBA legend announced her retirement after 15 years of professional basketball, and Daniel gives her every flower she deserves. Then we talk about Chennedy Carter reminding this league exactly who she is in Las Vegas. The Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo both get their first franchise wins, and the stories behind them are bigger than the scores. And we close on a somber note, honoring Cigi McCollin, a Queens girl, a Hofstra legend, and someone Daniel knew personally, who passed away following a battle with cancer.

No hot takes. Just real basketball talk. Every week.
