The NBA Draft gave us dreams. The Giannis trade gave us chaos.
On this special edition of Chiney Today, Chiney Ogwumike and Ramona Shelburne react to the biggest moments from draft night — starting with No. 1 overall pick A.J. Dybantsa heading to the Washington Wizards.
Senior NBA Writer Marc J. Spears sends Chiney an exclusive message from the NBA Draft green room after speaking with A.J. Dybantsa, who opened up about becoming the top pick, representing his family and heritage, and preparing to bring his game to D.C.
Chiney and Ramona break down the top eleven picks of the Draft, including Darryn Peterson to Utah, Cam Boozer to Memphis, Caleb Wilson to Chicago, and Darius Acuff Jr. to Sacramento.
Then, the show shifts to the mega blockbuster: Giannis Antetokounmpo traded to the Miami Heat. Chiney and Ramona discuss what Giannis and Bobby Portis bring to Miami, how Bam Adebayo fits alongside Giannis, Pat Riley’s commitment to stars and Heat culture, and how Milwaukee resets with Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel’el Ware, and future draft assets.
