Chiney Today is back — and she called an old friend for some backup!
After Chiney’s A’ja Wilson and Tom Brady comparison sparked a major reaction online, Mike Golic Jr. joins the show for a much-needed wellness check, a little perspective, and a reminder that sports debates are supposed to be fun.
Chiney and GoJo also celebrate his return to ESPN, revisit their Chiney & Golic Jr. days, and play a game of putting NBA free agency moves “in NFL terms” — from LeBron James leaving the Lakers to Jaylen Brown moving to the Philadelphia 76ers against his will.
Plus, Chiney breaks down the 2026 WNBA All-Star starters, including A’ja Wilson, Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston, Brianna Stewart, Olivia Miles, Gabby Williams, Natasha Howard, and Jess Shepard.
