Cappie Poindexter Joins Knuckleheads with Quentin Richardson & Darius Miles | The Players' Tribune

Bonus episode! Cappie Pondexter - the “first lady” of Knuckleheads with Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles - joins the show. She and the boys begin by discussing her rise in Chicago basketball, and how the city inspired the way she played. Cappie also talks about getting her killer instinct from playing with (and tuning up) the boys. She then explains her decision to attend Rutgers, and the positive impact that that move had on her entire career. Following that, Cappie discusses the WNBA draft, playing with Diana Taurasi, and what it was like to win a championship so early in her career. Darius crowns Cappie and Diana “the Shaq and Kobe of the WNBA.” Talk then shifts to the current state of the women’s league, and what Cappie thinks that the WNBA can do better to keep women’s basketball moving in the right direction. She follows that by talking about playing overseas, her all-time favorite place to play, and why the game of basketball has inspired her to travel all over the world. This leads to a discussion about the importance of broadening horizons, and Cappie explains her involvement in the fashion industry, as well as her love for art. She and the boys then move on to their nostalgia for Chicago basketball, and the identities of some of the city’s best - and least-known - players. She then ranks her top five WNBA players of all time, and finishes by debating the hosts about MJ, Kobe and LeBron. Cappie is a Chicago queen, and you won’t want to miss this great episode. In partnership with Hennessy.

Not happening! Womens basketball is boring, really boring.

Can't tell me she hasn't been thru anything or that nothing happened to her cause this isn't the same personality or thought process that has currently inhabited her head. Definitely something to investigate and it's very odd with the LACK OF REPORTING ON HER.....AS WELL AS HER ALLEGATIONS.... y'all know I'm right c'mon man.

[@Enterthemind1]

Yes, the media (mainly ESPN) staying quite doesn't help lebron or anyone he's associated with look innocent. Cappie wasn't lying.

[@robertw174]

If the allegations aren't true lebron could have gone after her. He likes pizza parties for a reason.

It's called having your condition under control with the proper meds and amount. What we're seeing now is probably months if being off her meds. If your "Not Sure" only about the Lebron situation u may wanna get on some meds as well.

[@stebbiej]

Lol factz, these kids really dont know the impact of AI on the game . Lebron impact is not even close to AI

[@rayshaunedwards6572]

@@stebbiej lebron has a different impact but it was just as important. Jordan helped get the game on national tv and some what global. A.i. brought hip hop, style, creativity, helped globalize the game, and helped players be themselves. Lebron helped business wise, player control, and helped also players be themselves. All very important let's not under appreciate somebody contribution to the game. I agree a.i. is underappreciated by basketball fans as a whole for the most part not just the youth. It's some older people that will disrespect a.i. as well.
