Chiney is back from WNBA All-Star Weekend in Chicago and breaking down the biggest highlights, lowlights and history-making moments from the celebration.

Plus, Chiney celebrates Jonquel Jones’ All-Star Game MVP, Dominique Malonga’s historic dunk, Azzi Fudd’s three-point contest victory, and Nneka Ogwumike becoming the WNBA All-Star Game’s all-time leading scorer.
