Dawn Staley on Knicks Coaching Job, Philly WNBA Expansion & South Carolina Dynasty | Ep. 5
Dawn Staley joins Post Moves with Candace Parker and Aliyah Boston to discuss her NY Times Best-Selling book Uncommon Favor, her role as a pioneer in women’s basketball, her legendary journey, and the dynasty she’s built with the South Carolina Gamecocks. Staley also shares the life motto that shaped her career and the mentors who inspired her along the way.
She opens up about recruiting Aliyah Boston to South Carolina, the growth she’s seen in Aliyah’s game now as a WNBA player with the Indiana Fever, and of course — her famous TikTok dances. Staley reflects on their special bond, calling Aliyah “the smartest player ever in the history of our program,” and shares how proud she is to see her thrive in the league.
Staley also discusses the future of the game: from her NBA coaching opportunities — including interviewing for the New York Knicks head coach job — to the upcoming WNBA expansion team in Philadelphia, and whether she’d be interested in coaching or owning a team there. She also shares stories about playing for Team USA at the Olympics under Tara VanDerveer, her Philly roots, and her unique friendship with Allen Iverson. Plus, Dawn reveals her Mount Rushmore of Philly sports, talks about her favorite career moments as both player and coach, and even her love for true crime.

Candace Parker & Aliyah Boston on Fever's Win Streak, Booing in the W & Alyssa Thomas MVP? | Ep.2
WNBA legend Candace Parker and Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston are back for Episode 2 of Post Moves — and there’s a lot to talk about. They kick things off with one of the hottest teams in the league: the Indiana Fever. Aliyah opens up about the squad’s five-game win streak, how they’ve stepped up with Caitlin Clark out, and what she’s learned on the road. Candace reflects on Aliyah breaking franchise records, matching one of her own career milestones, and how the team is finding its identity.
They also weigh in on early MVP favorites — from Napheesa Collier’s injury to Alyssa Thomas’s all-around dominance — before breaking down the Minnesota Lynx’s big-time trade for Dijonai Carrington… and the absolute chaos of toys being thrown on the court. Yes, the green dildos. Multiple games. We’re talking about it.
In Order in the Court, Candace shares her unfiltered take on the debate around booing in the W. After DeWanna Bonner got booed in Indiana, opinions flew — and Candace explains why she thinks getting booed can actually be a privilege.
Later, Candace spotlights Jackie Young in You Got This presented by adidas, recognizing her first career triple-double and continued rise as one of the league’s most consistent stars.
The episode wraps with fan questions, some advice from CP, and a little love for their dogs.
