Why Do You As A Man Love Women's Basketball? with Ish Islam

Ish Islam, the creative behind Game Griot, isn’t the only man who’s found his sport’s home in women’s basketball. But I’d personally take the odds that he’s one of the most dedicated. The Brooklyn native built Game Griot as a creative broadcasting outlet for the world of women’s hoops. He joined me on the podcast to talk:* What 30 years of the WNBA mean for the game* Standout 2026 rookies* Who’s taking a step in their game this season* Players we don’t play about* What it means to show up for the Black women who lead women’s basketball* A progress report on our NY Liberty 10+ games into the 2026 seasonThis convo with Ish felt special. We chatted about WBB and this season tactically, but also ventured into the intangible aspects of women’s sports that made me want to start Good Sport in the first place.
