## Resource

Madeline and Charlotte are back with a full discussion about this year’s MET Gala and why it clearly shows that sports have never been more important in the broader cultural conversation. Athlete attendees this year included Eileen Gu, Alysa Liu, Lindsey Vonn, Jimmy Butler, Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson, Paige Bueckers, Angel Reese, A'ja Wilson, Ciara and Russell Wilson, Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade, Serena and Venus Williams, Naomi Osaka, and many more.  Then, a rundown of current NBA Playoff drama: The Celtics are out and both Joe Mazzulla and Jaylen Brown are coping, Steve Kerr and Draymond Green are fighting, the Knicks are looking good, LeBron is indefatiguable, and Victor Wembanyama continues to raise the bar for male emotional intelligence in sports.  Hosted on Acast.
