The two share how their bond began at an open mic and evolved into hooping together, highlighting how their contrasting styles of play complement one another on the court. They break down competitive runs at LA Fitness, beating the guys one-on-one and in full games, even when opponents turn up the intensity and still come up short.The conversation expands into the Pro-Am and Drew League experience, the impact of women changing the game, and how WNBA stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are shifting culture and visibility in basketball. Beyond the court, Tiffini and Jahna discuss using the game as a tool for change. Playing in prisons, running clinics that help inmates reduce their sentences, and giving back through community-focused initiatives like Black on the Block. The episode closes with reflections on growth, balance, and being ready for a slower, more intentional life.Connect with Tiffini:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_curlssss_/Connect with Jahna: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jmarambaa/  Connect with G Wayne: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elevate_w_gwayneYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@elevatedgamepodcast Executive Produced by Harold Lefty Williams, Alex Parker, Kori Davis, and Eugene Parker Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
