Bucks' Boycott Anniversary with Jemele Hill

Award-winning journalist Jemele Hill joins Marques & Kris Johnson on Hear District for a wide-ranging conversation on sports, media, and culture. Jemele shares how her Detroit upbringing shaped her resilience, the challenges she's faced in sports journalism, and how social media and former athletes are transforming the industry. They revisit the Milwaukee Bucks’ 2020 bubble boycott, its impact on sports activism, and how the movement has evolved since. The trio also discusses when we might see the NBA’s first female head coach and the WNBA’s growing popularity, with a focus on CBA negotiations and media narratives around Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. Jemele talks about her shelved Colin Kaepernick documentary with Spike Lee and his latest film, "Highest 2 Lowest." Marques & Kris wrap things up with thoughts on the Bucks signing Amir Coffey and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s dominance at EuroBasket 2025.
