Subscribe to Good Word with Goodwill
Vincent Goodwill is joined by Isis “Ice” Young, as he is every Wednesday on the A Good Word with Good Will podcast, and the two of them open the show by reacting to NBA.com’s survey of GMs around the NBA. Why are they picking the Celtics to repeat? How did Jayson Tatum win for “best small forward”? And what does Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have to do to win the MVP award this season?
After talking about the Mavericks, who have a lot of depth after adding players like Klay Thompson and Spencer Dinwiddie but will miss Dante Exum after the Australian guard had wrist surgery, Vinnie and Ice talk about the Orlando Magic defense and their need to add a point guard. to their initial lineup.
After last night’s victory 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, record-wise, but the Lynx have had the Liberty’s number this season. Find out who Ice predicts will win the series and what you should be looking for.
Finally, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame class of 2024 is set to be inducted this weekend, and Vinnie has thoughts. Vince Carter and Chauncey Billups make sense, as two players who are perhaps underrated because of their size, but Michael Cooper? Walter Davis gets some love as a dominant scorer who played in a league that was very different than it is today.
