We are so back! In the latest episode of Hitting the Hardwood, Mitchell Hansen is joined by talented WNBA host and analyst LaChina Robinson.

The two open the podcast talking about Robinson's decision to move on from ESPN after 16 years to join NBC and Prime Video's WNBA coverage this season, later discussing the groundbreaking CBA and condensed offseason. They then shift to the 2026 WNBA season, discussing favorites to win it all, what Robinson is looking forward to right out of the gate, and what she thinks the potential is for the Minnesota Lynx this season.
