Vincent Goodwill is joined by Isis “Ice” Young, as she does every Wednesday at the Good word with good will podcast, and the two open the show reacting to NBA.com’s survey of NBA general managers. Why do you choose the Celtics to repeat? How did Jayson Tatum win “best small forward”? And what does Shai Gilgeous-Alexander need to do to win the MVP award this season?
After talking about the Mavericks, who have plenty of depth after adding players like Klay Thompson and Spencer Dinwiddie, but will miss Dante Exum after the Australian point guard underwent wrist surgery, Vinnie and Ice talk about Orlando’s defense Magic and his need to add a point guard. to his starting lineup.
After last night’s win over the Connecticut Sun, the Minnesota Lynx earned a spot in the NBA Finals against the New York Liberty. These are the two best teams in the league, based on record, but the Lynx have had Liberty’s number this season. Find out who Ice predicts will win the series and what to look for.
Finally, the 2024 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame class is preparing to be inducted this weekend, and Vinnie has some ideas. Vince Carter and Chauncey Billups make sense, as two players who are perhaps underrated for their greatness, but Michael Cooper? Walter Davis gets some love as a dominant scorer who played in a league that was much different than today.
