Lmao !!! Is the same one that called the Nigerians monkeys ? 😂
Liz is now playing in North Korea for the Jung Jackasses
Hahahaha! ''How do the Sparks rebound...'' Apparently, not very well! Actually, I watched a part of a WNBA game...that's a half hour I'll never get back...BORING!
Short answer: Yes
There's a blatantly clear pattern of foolishness that has followed her to every team she's been on, and it's apparently escalating to the point where she simply quits during the season......not sure what team will want her after this 🤔

I've been waiting for this to be announced ever since those olympic scrimmages with Nigeria. The Ogwumike sisters should be applauded for their professionalism.
Cambage doesn’t want to hoop…she wants to be FAMOUS! The writing has always been on the wall. People overvalue and overhyped her. Bad teammate.
Great comment - basketball is a team game and if you are bad teammate or not a team player, you arent gonna make it.
She's toxic & bad for morale. Talented yes, but you can't run a successful program with an individual like that in it. No right minded organisation's going to want to touch her.
Start paying the WNBA players real money.
@@flexkill1 Why? Their entire league is subsidised by the NBA because it can't stand on its own two feet.
Furthermore, do you think paying Liz Cambage more money is somehow going to fix her bad attitude & make her a better teammate?
🎯
She should’ve never left Vegas smh 🤦🏾♂️
Factuals
Yes stupid move to leave Vegas ! Idk why she wanted to leave 🤷🏽♀️🥱oh well lesson learned !
Wrong. I’m happy she left Vegas. The team seems happier.
@@shaninasmithhaines356 she didn't like the fact that coach Hammon was being paid more than the players
now Kelsey can shine
Her coming to LA had nothing to do with basketball
This is the Swan Song of Liz Cambridge in the WNBA. She never was the talent that went with expectations of signing her. She brought the added marketing light, of her perceived physical beauty, ( that was on the believer, not messenger).She has been in league almost a decade, and she never materilzed as hyped.
3:07 I ALWAYS go back to Fish benching CP‼️
Cue Celie * "Until you do right by me, everything you think about is going to crumble." 🤚🏾
LaChina hit the nail on the head....signing her is too much of a gamble given her history. It's the her history that will be her undoing in the W.
She’s had issues with ALL her teams.
I like these ladies and the discussion they had about Cambage and the league in general. I'll make it a point to check them out more.
Onlyfans pays more….😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Nobody paying her
Yup
@@arizonaFIREent the hate is real.... she beautiful.
Facts
I know most of these comments are gonna troll but I'm glad this popped up in my recommended. I see a lot more WNBA news recently but I have no context or prior knowledge of most of the league, so this show should help orient me to things. Keep doing your thing ladies.
Exactly no context haha
@@arizonaFIREent yeah, because it's something I haven't paid much attention to. Just like I have basically no knowledge of golf or baseball because I don't watch it. Same thing.
Same! Looking forward to more episodes!
Disgusting lies
@@bigboi301slg so your comment is irrelevant haha
Can you please make a separate Around the Rim TH-cam channel so we can subscribe and get notifications when new episodes come out? Would be awesome!
Make sense
If you come to a TEAM and the first thing you do is just take someone's number that means a lot to them? And the organization co-signs that? It was doomed from the start! 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
men do it all the time but they just pay for it but I can def seeing this being a big deal in a women's locker room
I knew she wasn't going to last long when she chose to go to that concert instead of joining her team. She set her own alarm to her wake up call
Really? I didn't know that
Bro, when I say Terrika completely read my mind about the "contract divorce" term lol...insane! Like huh, who used that term, ever???? Lmao. As a man, who couldn't be categorized as a feminist in the least, I completely understand how clownish that term is. Please stop it.
I had never heard of it until I got into the WNBA. It's very sexist.
It’s used in sports . It’s not sexist but maybe y’all don’t consume sports like that 🤷🏾♂️ I donno
@@KingKG33 I've watched sports for 25+ years and have never heard of a contract divorce. I've heard of superstar players and teams "getting a divorce" but it's never been specifically about a contract. People talk about a QB and head coach being "married."
@@prolific1518 so does “contract divorce “ make it sexist ? Like I’m genuinely asking and why ?
@@KingKG33 I'm guessing ONLY if the expression was coined by a man. smh
WOW! I just discovered this show today. But I will be tuning in regularly.
ditto!
She's said it before. The W doesn't pay her bills, she's not from the US so the motivation in playing in front of Family or alumni fans isn't there. If she plays anywhere she has to be the undisputed #1. A'ja in Vegas and Nneka in LA, she isn't going to be that. I agree with LaChina, this is the last we have seen her in the WNBA. Hopefully the DJing career pops off!
I guess we'll see her in the women's Australian league.
She was #1 with Dallas wings and still left . It’s Liz she’s a Kyrie, she’s a AB, she’s a Terrell Owens.😂
@@TA-ht4jo I think she burned that bridge with the national team incident.
"Contract divorce" is an official (and specific) term that has a specific set of paramaters for a player leaving.
Where can I find this specific term and specific set of parameters, because it's not on Google.
SMH……. Women.
Right this is nothing new.
They stupid
Not surprised Liz isn’t going forward with the Sparks, especially after her negative comments about the Nigerians. I don’t think she’ll be playing again this season in the W. She needs some time to reflect on her future.
Dear ESPN, I enjoyed seeing the women discussing women’s basketball.
Good to see Liz is “living her best life”. Working out really well!
Love this pod! Keeps me updated on outside things in WNBA.
False, they categorized it as a divorce 2 weeks ago when KD asked for a trade.
Every NBA/NFL offseason, we hear analysts categorize releases and trades as divorces. The word simply means, separation. 😂
Call a spade a spade. This was like 20mins of dancing around saying she’s an ego maniac with no self awareness or accountability.
No matter what they stick to the code..😂
@@MrMG76 And that's why nobody watches the WNBA. 😀
Great interview!!
I hope she stays in the wnba because she cold 🥶 on the court
I'm not sure but this feels like what Antonio Brown did last year with the Bucs, she might have played her last game in the WNBA
Shes toxic and got kicked off her country's national team. And called the Nigerian team monkeys. Which one of her LA teammates is Nigerian. She stole her teammates jersey number and the player found out on social media. Also was toxic in the locker room.
She's slow and selfish tf 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏿♂️
😂 they dislike the word divorce
I know her sparks teammates are breathing a sigh of relief
I love the Sparks. They got they head comb tonight by Phoenix 🤣
Contract divorce is a legal term that is different from just waiving, cutting, releasing a player.
Usually when someone is waived, cut or released by the team, the team still does pay out the rest of the contract or what is required to pay year by year.
For example Bobby Bonilla was released in 2000 by the Mets, but the Mets continue to pay him year by year.
From what I understand Liz and the Sparks was divorced as in the contract all the way paid out "right now". The team is able right now to use the additional cap space.
That is not the case for when a player is waived, release or cut. In these 3 situations the salary is still against the salary cap.
This is why divorce is used instead of release, cut or waive.
Normally I believe the term used for this is "bought out". But even then I'm not sure if their salary is still against the salary cap.
So yes, it was a saucy term used. But if you want your league to have attention, you have to take the good with the bad.
The NBA doesn't just get to have good stories and terms. Alot of it is bad and at times flat out disrespectful.
This sounds good but where do I find this info or is unwritten rule, word of mouth thing.
The term is still sounds weird and excessive and this is the first time it has been used this often in any league at least in my lifetime and nah, come up with something else WNBA
@@IBdaPrince either the WNBA wants the attention or you don't.
You don't get to determine what terms are being used. Keep doing that SJW stuff and you will continue be ignored and have another year in the red with no growth, no interest and basically being a charity league.
No one was calling foul when it was report3d Delonte West slept with LeBron's mama or when a Seahawks teammate slept with Russell Wilson's 1st wife. Amd tons of other disreps3ctful amd unsavory stories across theale major sports.
LeBron and Russell had to eat that move on. That's the price you pay.
@@ddavis8988 ummm what does any of what u typed have to do with me not liking one term used to describe the dissolution of a player's contract from a team? None of what u said applies nor makes sense
@@IBdaPrince it makes sense, you just don't like it.
Bad press comes with good press. That's the point.
She makes more money on her only fans . She don't want to hoop anymore.. why would she
You're so right about the Sparks front office getting right. Fred Williams already has a job for next season so LA will need a new coach. I say they look at Lisa Leslie. She's basketball royalty. The LA fans love Lisa and she's done a great job coaching in the BIG3. Lastly, I love Derek Fisher as a player but he was a bad Sparks coach and nobody checked him.
LA chose Fisher over Parker and they are paying dearly for it
Bad ideal
The game has changed. Immobile bigs are out and Shakira, Nalyssa, A'ja, Park, Stokes are IN!! Tina Charles' days are numbered as well.
Liz will still get a job in the WNBA if she wants a job she’s to good…….Now what will probably happen is Liz might not be able to command the kinda of money she Usually earns…
Liz was frustrated Sparks can’t shoot from the outside which allows teams to double and triple team Liz on the block down low. Plus Liz has to take some responsibility she came into the season out of shape..
Liz cambage I’d climb that tree💯🌳😈
Feddi. That phrases too worn out for me to use. Why don't you just let us stand on you that's kind of new when you think?
@@lamontedevillasee8415 would you rather I climb yo mama 🤷🏽♂️
LA is shrouded in sketchy history but it is hard to not wonder if Liz is a problem love her and she is supremely talented player hope there is a good redemption season coming for her
She’s too big to just average 6 boards
Softy
No heart.
@Terry Brews I don't care about that psycho's sexuality. She doesn't deserve to be in the league.
I agree! The Sparks have not been right since the LEGEND Candace Parker was benched!!!
CP3 was benched…. No😱 I get it they play harsh but… that’s not fair … my dream is to play for them… Now I’m starting to think second thoughts😩😭🥺
It's addition by subtraction IMO. Liz can play, it just seems like she only wants to play on her own terms. I definitely agree that her WNBA career is over.
Great show, ladies!!! Love this!
no it's just stupid like the WNBA
Come film in my studio downtown LaChina! The young players are the future!! Atlanta starts TWO ROOKIES!! Indiana is a TRUE point guard from taking over the league.
That contract divorce comment is a real reach. Terms like divorce and marriage are used to equate relationships in men’s sports too.
Divorce 😄
It triggered her for whatever reason...for no reason🤣🤣
Only time wnba gets eyes is when there is drama
Could this have anything to do with her controversial comments
If you cannot get along with the diverse members of Australian women's national basketball team (who have a stellar reputation) you cannot get along with anyone.
Wait... there's a podcast dedicated to a sport no one watches? Who thought this was a good idea?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Probably is. She hasn’t been very honest on her answers and now that the truth is out. She’s not cool
Please!!!! calling it a "Contract Divorce" is not that serious. Stop trying to buy our guilt with emotional currency.
Wow this is what is so different between the NBA and the WNBA because a talent like that would always have a job! So y’all are saying no team would pick her up. She would probably make more overseas anyway
an NBA player wouldn't get away with calling Nigerian people "monkeys" that should "go back to their country"
Well that’s cap, if Kyrie shuts it down early next season, there will not be a team willing to take him going further
Liz has burned too many bridges, has nothing to do with talent.
She's toxic.
TRUE STORY with regards to Fisher benching CP. It's spiraled out since. What they are practicing at one of the worst facilities in LA. C'mon MAN!!!!
She plays ball wit fake eye lashes 😂
Don't forget her comments about Becky Hammond's contract.
She caused friction with the Aces with that comment. She lets her emotions get in the way of everything.
She a sampling expert with Golden Corral now..
I noticed when she was with Dallas she’s has potential to be dominant but she finds problems where ever she goes , she’s talented , she s big , she’s an impact player but she’s the Kyrie of the WNBA. Liz just don’t appear to be fully vested wherever she goes. She’s not ride or die and it shows . She literally looks for reasons to exit clubs .
See this would never happen in the NBA. You dont just leave a team in the NBA. You get traded, cut, sent home but nobody just say we devoiced. What happened to contracts. You want the money but not the responsibility. This generation of women players not that good.
Liz cambage will never be a racist, she is a mixed race, Her Father is from Nigeria, in ONDO State in Nigeria 🇳🇬.
The LA Sparks wasn’t fully utilizing Liz Cambage, she wasn’t getting enough touches.
utilizing?
Enough airtime?
@@wolfprime really 🥴
@@mroctober3583 ??
@@jreid100 she cared more about fame than her game
They definitely use the term “breaking up” and divorcing on men sports lol come on now
There are NBA players stubborn and contagious in WNBA as well, like Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons and now Liz Cambage.. I’m so sorry but what country are they from and they have the same attitude?????
If Liz is seeking more money she blew the endorsement bag in LA leaving the Sparks. She can always go to Europe China and Russia for another bag but her foolishness will not be tolerated there either. I seen people commenting that she should be paid more and I would like to know how many WNBA fans have gone to a WNBA game own more than one Jersey and a few WNBA hats?
I'm glad to see someone reporting on women's basketball now y'all gotta start going to the games
The title of this show is next level
Really surprised I haven’t seen someone comment what they had for lunch
Liz is a dime and a half. I wish her the best...
contract divorce seems right especially given the gender of the contract divorcee
Start watching this show. There's a negative vibe on the LA Sparks organization. There's going to be problems in the WNBA in the future.
Great job ladies and keep up the good work.
they dont play her right, she gets frustrated i see it when she plays. she to big and skilled not to put her in the right spots
So has it been official that Liz is quitting basketball all together just like she's done with her team cause it seems like this is normal for her 🤣🤣🤣
Liz and a 3 time covit can now go and share that with her fan only site.
Her other "Job" must be quite lucrative.
Liz decided to take her talents to only fans
They were better without cambage on the court
She will NOT eat lunch in that town again. Goodbye
This maybe the end for her in the WNBA unless there's a desperate team out there. Look at what she said to the Nigerian women's national team.
She sounds smart. Make more money on onlyfans than that struggling sport.
If she doesn't want that team ,why not go others team!🔑
LA has half their roster becoming UFA's after this season. I wouldn't be surprised if Toliver retires. Maybe Nneka re-signs but she very easily could go elsewhere. LA just seems like a sinking ship to me
This is absolutely a huge and or major problem and or disappointed 😞 😕 😔 😪 😒 for the soon to be depleted Los Angeles Sparks club that has many Unrestricted Free Agent players are going somewhere else next season. Time ⏲️ ⏳️ to rebuild a new fresh look squad. All begin with the 🔥 firing of HC/GM Derek Fisher and departure of interim head coach Fred Williams (who will be going to Auburn University as an Women's Basketball assistant coach).
Sparks need to jell on the court, they have a lot of big guns.
How’s y’all weather today?
given Liz's shady past disruptive behavior not surprised she's burning bridges every where she goes
I just love Family Guys version of the WNBA
🤣😂 i pay to watch her only fans
She got traded to San Diego Onlyfans squad.
She wanted a higher paying job, McDonald's starting at $15/hr in a lot of places.
Are there any open rosters on any Russian teams
Keep it up need more wnba content
No the Eff we don’t! Foh… 🤨
Liz cambage made the comment about the Nigerian team but , isn’t she half Nigerian . Her father is Nigerian so if anyone could say it or were going to make a comment on that team it is her .
Alright sooo, Liz is out of L.A.okay so they should resign back Tea Cooper 🤷🏿♂️ if that's possible
I just scrolled through about 100 WNBA TH-cam videos and this one by far has the most views… that tells you a little about Cambage’s ability to move the needle. With respect as a former WNBA fan, the product on the court today is not good enough to move the needle. Someone who wants the attention will bring in Cambage and it probably still won’t make anyone pay attention.
The most viewed WNBA TH-cam videos are about Cambage and about Griner being in prison in Russia. That’s a tell.
Can they just say they’re waiving the player or that a buyout is happening? “Contract divorce” sounds so stupid.
@ jerry it’s women’s basketball what would you expect
Player/Team and Player/Player pairings have been referred to with marriage metaphors for at least as long as there has been free agency, and that includes calling splits "divorce". Adding "contract" to the term "divorce" doesn't somehow make this a new sexist way of talking about women's sports. It's just a new phrasing of the same old metaphor.
Like to see Liz make a movie with Aspen Brooks
Didn’t she quit before?
This is a mess and this is why WNBA is having trouble building a fanbase and attendance. Also, it shows why the WNBA LOOSES 10 million per year and 26 years failure of profits.
Love listening to women holding other women accountable for poor conduct. Can’t always advocate for people when they have shitty tendencies
When I was coaching kids any player like Liz I would suggest to them to try taking up tennis or golf
She’ll play again!!
no shade to seimone augustus, but I would hate if they throw her into GM role right away. May lead to a Tamika Catchings (as Indy Fever GM) 2.0. would love for them to place her as an Assistant GM, invest in her and develop her into a GM in the next 3-5 years. Chennedy needs waayyyyy more playing time. Sparks front office needs prayers, cause....smh
