On this episode of The Duke and Boss Barbie Show, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and explore the powerful intersection of basketball, activism, and community. From a brand-new coaching journey with a girls team to reflecting on what MLK’s message means for players, coaches, and fans today, we dive deep into how sports have long served as a platform for social change.

We break down the NBA’s historic commitment to MLK Day, discuss the WNBA’s legacy of player-led activism, and highlight true trailblazers like Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Maya Moore, and more. Along the way, we cover MLK Day game results, shakeups in the standings, surprising trades, record-breaking performances, and what they mean for the league moving forward.

This episode is about more than wins and losses. It’s about the responsibility that comes with the platform, the “fierce urgency of now,” and why waiting for perfect conditions has never been an option. Whether you’re a player, coach, or fan, this conversation challenges us all to act, engage, and carry the legacy forward.

Tune in, honor the message, and enjoy the games.
