Basketball stars and World Champions Syd & TP set out to become the faces of WNBA after winning a title with Las Vegas Aces and using their comedic personalities to capture the attention of not just basketball fans but non sports fans as well.
The former Las Vegas Aces teammates Sydney Colson and Theresa Plaisance hava leveraged their friendship and WNBA opportunity to create a different path to stardom and success. Better known as Syd and TP, the world champions and bench warming besties are determined to become the faces of the WNBA, despite the fact that no one asked them to and far from the top of the A-list star players in the league. Maintaining an honest perspective about each other and their spots on WNBA rosters, the two found gratitude in their opportunities and found ways to stand out amongst the league's top talented players.
Embracing their comedic personalities and love from their teammates as being the go-to's for the little things on and off the court but also the ones who lighten the mood and make the sport more fun, Syd and TP took their everyday approach to life and turned it into a tv series and social media sensations.
Understanding their role as team players and non-starters for their respective teams, the two forged a bond last season when they were a part of a championship roster who didn't see much playing time but gained popularity through their personality. TP talks about doing the little things as an athlete but also as a teammate which has helped her stay in the league for so long while Syd talks about making the most of her opportunity to be on the highest level doing what she loves everyday while mixing in her other talents and just being her authentic self.
Playing with stars like A'ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum, the team doesn't lack stardom and Syd says adding her balance to the roster is something valued by her teammates. TP talks about how her mom being a basketball coach helped shape her love for the sport at a young age yet she didn't really fully embrace her talents until college years at LSU. The two besties have allowed their vulnerability and talent to create their own lane in a sport that landed them a second career.
Ryan, Channing and Fred ask about the discrepancies of women's sports on a professional level between the wage gap, different levels of exposure and treatment across the board but Syd and TP chime in on how women's sports are on the rise and gaining traction with more broadcast deals and sold out arenas. The ladies detail how last year's championship parade exceeded expectations and truly was an unbelievable experience with fans lining up blocks of Las Vegas Blvd to celebrate their championship run.
Syd, currently on the Las Vegas Aces, who are taking on the NY Liberty in the WNBA finals is one game away from winning back to back titles.

Much respect to your platform for empowering the wnba! Great episode

[@zcam7939]

Nobody cares

[@MicaleFleury]

Syd's skin and makeup is flawless!!!

[@ghart22]

This makes me want a Jeff Teague episode with his brutal honesty of being a contributor but also a bench guy and realizing his time was over

[@kingcharlesharris]

Facts

[@GoogleAccount00]

Syd is so fine! 🥰

[@laraebonn]

This is exactly what Bron was saying about whoever market the WNBA. They don’t take advantage of the NBA and others who come to see them. They definitely don’t take advantage of marketing other players. There is no reason for college players to be making more than them.

[@Grandpabeatdown]

The WNBA is trash

[@zeinasmith1736]

I love Syd 🥰😍❤ Syd seems very down to earth and hilarious nd unapologetically herself at all times I love that about her 💯

[@urayford]

This hit a little different after the last closeout game. Stay ready so you don't have to get ready. Colson's 15 minutes gave the Aces the championship. They don't win game four without her.

[@Patchwork85]

RC is a real one...The W is fundamentally based which makes it beautiful and pure! Love Syd and TP!🙌🏾

[@tearanyhardaway4958]

This is one of the best interviews of a WNBA player that i've seen. You can tell they were prepared and properly researched. 😊

[@steffanwilliams4043]

Glad to see the W getting some exposure. Loooonnngggg way to go but we’re moving in the right direction👌🏽👌🏽

[@jayp9597]

"Am i Cut"... 😂❤️

[@GoogleAccount00]

lololololol she is a riot

[@kennyloving5700]

Used to hoop wit Syd in Aggieland. Dope to see her doing good things.

[@gregoryaskew9804]

This conversation reminds me of my favorite WNBA center Mercedes Russell. She is the cog in Seattle Storms wheel. When she got hurt their was a difference in the teams flows.

[@goattalk6380]

This was a phenomenal episode!!! Shout out ACES ⭐️

[@charmainenicole]

This was a great episode!!! I loved Syd before this episode and I love her even more now. ❤❤

[@ElPr3z718]

This innerview was amazing and being able to see another side to Syd and getting know who TP was super dope. I love these types of sit downs there was a bit of everything such as humor, honesty, gems, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@mairarodriguez1525]

At the end of the day...the relationships are what it's all about. Thank you ladies for being the Power of the team! ❤❤👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@OptimisticKTV]

It's all about the attitude and mindset of the athlete. This episode was AMAZING. I love Syd and TP, they're such great people.

[@monaturals9315]

My favorite episode hands down. Love these ladies!

[@perryellis1423]

Syd has the right mindset as a teammate, that coach Tomlin preaces. I rather have volunteers, than hostages. Meaning if you're a good teammate support the team accept your role. But if you can't then leave.

[@sonnymcgowan2026]

Good show and good to hear from these ladies. Seem super funny and will definitely check out their show.

[@lavondajohnson7554]

[@teekp_704]

Love them 🔥🔥

[@joshvandersloot528]

You guys should invite my cousin Courtney Vandersloot on the podcast. Pro in the WNBA for New York Liberty plus she recently had her number retired from Gonzaga University. It'd be awesome to hear her story, from starting small and working to be a star in the WNBA

[@char1346]

Loved this episode. WNBA 💪🏾

[@WellreadSneakerhead]

Great interview. Got to get A'ja on the show.

[@waynemyrie57]

No disrespect but I wanted to hear more of that Fred playoff story at the beginning 😂

[@Rose-A-Day]

[@JakWitDaLocs]

Syd so right bc their social media presence around them winning the ship made me a fan for sure!!

[@carl1799]

Key words “NOT ON TALENT” 😂😂😂😂

[@kafani12]

In the grind makes the best coaches I said it make sure in the future you said I said what I said😊. In my opinion they have tapped in and no one can do anything about it

[@anthonywatts1649]

Sydney Colson is HYPER. Holy schmoly! She cannot sit still.

[@deliziafitch2793]

Channing 😮😮

[@goldeye3901]

The WNBA is just like the NBA before it started it takes an open mind to understand that women can ball it takes time ⏲️

[@ascales30]

Syd is so damn cute to me!!!

[@cpeezy02]

😂😂😂😂 dope

[@illwalker23]

Love the WNBA love Syd more after this 😮‍💨

Why is both of the female's voices so deep?

[@kyoung4702]

No one can tell me Sydney Colson is not a national treasure.

[@cpeezy02]

Damn Channing lighten up lol..... always bring up the negative

Wish they did a better job introducing them. Whole convo felt like an inside joke.

[@humbletrucker853]

Channing is TOO real 💯

He’s TOO rude

[@dp3170]

"We were arguing to get 50% of the revenue..." What revenue? The NBA has lost money every year the WNBA has been in existence. If we're being completely honest, they should be getting an invoice. Honestly, the WNBA should separate from the NBA. The NBA has been a crutch. Therefore, the WNBA has never been forced to be innovative or up the presentation of the league that would entice fandom, support, and viewership from sports fans/enthusiasts.

[@nita723]

You are quoting some old numbers the league as a whole is on the upswing

[@joemoneymondays]

This weirdo narrative has got to stop.

[@blackkcinamacritic]

Who are they?????? The faces of the League are going to be Caitlin Clark & Angel Reese period

[@Covers-and-Commentary]

this is the kind of energy the WNBA does not need. automatically disrespecting the veterans just because you just started watching is crazy

[@chadpenner5059]

ESPN forces the wnba everyone's throat despite it barely qualifies as important as college lacrosse...just being honest.dont get butt hurt
