The Rams just traded for Myles Garrett. We break down the blockbuster deal and what it means for LA's Super Bowl window. The NBA Finals are here. We break down Spurs vs. Knicks, whether we're witnessing the birth of a new dynasty, and we're making our pick: San Antonio in 6, Wemby wins Finals MVP.

We also get into Justin Herbert skipping two weeks of Chargers OTAs to fly to Europe for Madison Beer's concert tour. Harbaugh said he offered Herbert a ride to the airport. We're asking whether that's the right call or a red flag for a franchise still searching for its first deep playoff run.

Finally, it's NBA Finals prediction time. Rashad is going down with the ship and explains why he's sticking with his pick despite the odds.

Jason declares the Indiana Fever organization has undermined its franchise superstar, Caitlin Clark. After the 2024 season, Indiana changed its front office and coaching staff. From that point until today, the changes seemed to personify the old adage “fitting a square peg in a round hole.” Saturday night, Fever Coach Stephanie White and Caitlin Clark having an explosive exchange during a time-out on the bench set social media on fire. Also, Jason contends that we as Americans should be cheering the New York Knicks and Jalen Brunson over Victor Wembanyama. Steve Kim, Jay Skapinac, and Dre Baldwin join Jason to discuss the NBA Finals, Chet Holmgren disappearing, the ongoing Jaxson Dart/Abdul Carter political kerfuffle, and Shedeur Sanders banking stacks for endorsement deals.

The crew is back and kicking things off with a conversation about curfews, parenting, and whether the rules we grew up with still make sense today. From there, the guys catch up on Drake's latest releases and debate whether the music actually lived up to the anticipation. They also ask a tough question: Is Chris Brown at risk of oversaturating his catalog, or does he still have plenty left in the tank? Spence is feeling good with the Spurs back in the Finals, but not everyone understands why he's giving Chet Holmgren so much grace. The conversation expands into Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's place in Oklahoma City history and whether he's become more beloved than KD, Russ, and Harden ever were. Things take a much deeper turn as the guys discuss the business of slavery, the realities of other slave trades throughout history, and some of the uncomfortable truths that often get left out of the conversation. And then… the rails come off. The crew reacts to the leaked footage from Diddy's alleged “Freak Off” parties, leading to one of the wildest discussions of the episode.

Send us Fan MailGame 7 doesn't just end a series, it exposes everything. Mr. Bell come's in hot on the Oklahoma City Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs Western Conference Finals showdown, starting with the part people love to skip how injuries and missing playmakers quietly rewrite playoff basketball. When a real point guard is out, turnovers spike, roles get warped, and “next man up” becomes a lot more complicated than it sounds.From there, get into how the Spurs take Game 7 by winning with the others, not just with Victor Wembanyama. Timely threes, regained confidence, and clean decision-making swing the biggest moments. On the Thunder side, we give Shai Gilgeous-Alexander his respect for looking like an MVP and an all-time great even in defeat, plus shout out the guys who attacked the moment instead of hiding from it.Then tackle the conversation everyone's having: Chet Holmgren taking only two shots. We talk through the mental side, the matchup pressure, why defense alone isn't enough in a Game 7, and what OKC may have to consider next with roster construction and future salary cap realities. Also close with some Pacers talk, including the Haliburton injury “what if” and Trey Murphy III trade rumors.Youtube to https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPIs6Ko7BCc9l5jlE5AbAUqZ0gAOhmuq-https://mixed-vibez-drip.printify.me/

The Western Conference Finals have become a referendum on two very different paths to greatness. In this episode of On The Ball, Ric Bucher breaks down why the Oklahoma City Thunder's organizational depth is colliding with Victor Wembanyama's singular brilliance—and why Game 7 may reveal just how close the Spurs really are to becoming the NBA's next powerhouse.Ric also tackles the growing outrage over officiating in the Thunder-Spurs series, explains why most of the viral complaints miss the mark, and proposes a simple replay solution the NBA refuses to embrace.Then he pivots to a bigger-picture question: What happens when LeBron James is finally gone? Ric examines why the league appears ready for life after LeBron, why Michael Jordan's post-playing legacy remains unmatched, and why ESPN may have become more dependent on LeBron than basketball itself.A provocative look at Victor Wembanyama, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, LeBron James, Michael Jordan, ESPN, NBA officiating, playoff basketball, and the future of the league.Time Stamps0:00 Intro & Coachable update 1:35 Thunder vs. Spurs: Why this series is really being decided 2:42 The replay-review failure that exposes an NBA flaw 5:04 Why the officiating outrage is mostly misplaced 7:12 The hidden reasons Ric worries about San Antonio in Game 7 8:27 Is Game 6 the real Spurs—or the outlier? 9:00 Why Victor Wembanyama doesn't respect Chet Holmgren's game 10:14 The matchup problem San Antonio still can't solve 11:35 Why De'Aaron Fox isn't a true No. 2 option 12:44 The X-factor that could decide Game 7 13:33 Have we finally moved on from LeBron James? 14:20 Why LeBron's rivalry with Michael Jordan may never end 15:17 Jordan's Wizards years and the lesson fans missed 18:40 Why Jordan's post-retirement brand remains untouchable 19:48 The image problem LeBron faces after retirement 21:22 Why ESPN may miss LeBron more than the NBA does 23:10 Has ESPN replaced LeBron with controversy? 24:27 Who will miss whom more: LeBron or ESPN? 24:36 OutroHashtags#OnTheBall #RicBucher #NBAPlayoffs #VictorWembanyama #Spurs #Thunder #ShaiGilgeousAlexander #LeBronJames #MichaelJordan #NBA #ESPN #Game7 #NBAPlayoffs2026 #BasketballPodcast #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

Wes Goldberg and Mike Shearer are back with Good Take on the RealGM Radio YouTube channel, starting with the latest playoff action before getting into their best NBA takes of the week. Wes argues that the twin-towers era may already be over before it ever really began. After teams like the Rockets, Timberwolves and Cavaliers struggled in the playoffs, are jumbo lineups being exposed? The NBA may still value rim protection, but the next wave of elite bigs — Victor Wembanyama, Chet Holmgren and Evan Mobley — looks different from the traditional two-big builds teams used to counter Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid. Then, Mike explains why the Memphis Grizzlies may be the best-positioned team in the NBA Draft with the No. 3 pick, able to land a star prospect without the pressure of making the top decision. Plus, the guys say goodbye to the Cavaliers with three ways to fix Cleveland this offseason, including what the James Harden trade means, why Kenny Atkinson is returning, and how the Cavs should rethink their championship path.

0:00 ... The All-NBA Teams were announced over the weekend and the crew does a lightning round commenting on all the members of the first team. Cade Cunningham, SGA, Nikola Jokic, Wemby, and Luka Doncic make up the first team. Bruce has a big issue with one of the first teamers. 5:21 ... The All NBA Second team consists of Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, Kevin Durant, and Kawhi Leonard. The guys wondered if aging Kawhi Leonard can have another All-NBA season at age 34 after this season's great performance. 12:44 ... The All-NBA third team consists of Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Johnson, Jamal Murray, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Duren. Duren making the third team could really affect his contract negotiations with the Pistons due to the 3rd Team honor making him eligible for a Super Max contract worth $48 million more than he would have qualified for had he not been honored as an All-NBA performer.

The NBA Playoff's WILD Weekend LIGHTS UP Gil's Arena as the Gil's Arena Crew reacts to the NBA Finals shaping up as the New York Knicks punched their ticket to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999 and the San Antonio Spurs got back on track by evening up the series against the OKC Thunder and pushed the Western Conference Finals into a best of 3 game series. They tip things off by breaking down Games 3 and 4 of the Western Conference finals and discuss how Victor Wembanyama is changing his game to counter the hostile strategy from the Thunder before debating if Shai Gilgeous Alexander is being officiated fairly during this series as the NBA MVP has yet to show up in a big way against the Spurs. They also react to Chet Holmgren being held in check by his rival the alien and debate if the Thunder will bounce back with such little help for SGA as Chet, Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell have all struggled to stay on the court. Next, they react to the New York Knicks finishing off the sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers to advance to the NBA Finals and debate where this Knicks' playoff run ranks all time as New York has glided through the NBA Playoffs, ripping off 11 straight wins since going down 2-1 to the Atlanta Hawks. They also discuss where Jalen Brunson sits amongst New York Knicks legends as the superstar point guard put the city on his back and debate if the team should be considered bigger contenders for the NBA Title as they rest up and wait for the Spurs and Thunder. They also break down what went wrong for the Cleveland Cavaliers as they went out sorry and debate if the team should blow it up after James Harden & Donovan Mitchell proved they do not have enough juice to overcome the best in the East. Finally, they react to the announcement of the All NBA Teams and debate who were the biggest winners and losers in the league's placement of their top 15 players.

0:00 ... Ross Geiger says hello and introduces co-hosts Bruce Bernstein and Michael "World B" Freer. Show #250 is dedicated to Trey Jemison of the Knicks, who wears #50 for the newly crowned NBA Eastern Conference Champs. 1:07 ... Knicks fan World B shares his thoughts on his team making the Finals after a 26 season drought. 2:10 ... World B had predicted the Knicks to make the Finals in his preseason picks and his aim was true! 3:39 ... Ross tees up a discussion on how the Knicks have grown so much as a team. 4:24 ... Bruce is happiest for Knicks head coach Mike Brown who has led the team to record breaking performances in the playoffs. And they didn't really want to hire him to replace Tom Thibodeau prior to the season but all the other coaches they wanted to interview were not given permission from their teams to speak to New York about the job. So Brown was hired by default and it was a move that has succeeded wildly. 6:16 ... World B gives Brown credit for retooling the Knicks' offensive system and he reels off the numbers that prove it. 8:47 ... Ross wonders whether the Knicks upcoming layoff (as they wait for their Finals opponent) will kill their great momentum? Both Bruce and World B feel like the Knicks are sitting pretty. Ross is concerned how they'll handle any offensive dry spells against the Spurs and Thunder. 13:49 ... If the Spurs beat OKC and play New York in the Finals, Bruce feels like the Knicks will use Karl Anthony-Towns to draw Victor Wembanyama away from the hoop on defense which could allow New York to operate successfully closer to the hoop. 14:48 ... Bruce marvels at how Wemby guards the entire opposing team and how God must be a Spurs fan with Wemby succeeding Tim Duncan and David Robinson as the latest generational big man in San Antonio. 16:37 ... World B reacts to the Spurs big win in game 4 with Wemby leading the way once again. 18:09 ... Bruce points out how Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has struggled offensively against the Spurs and with two key teammates like Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell battling health issues, the Spurs will continue to "throw the kitchen sink" at SGA if they miss more action. The result will be to wear SGA down and that will mean big trouble for OKC. Ross adds some perspective to the OKC offensive struggles. 20:11 ... World B explains how the return of De'Aaron Fox has been really important as far as the offense running smoothly. Ross feels like game 5 is a "must win" game for the Thunder. 22:40 ... Bruce points out that all the NBA awards have been announced except for Coach of the Year and he hopes his preseason prediction of Mitch Johnson winning the award might come true with a trophy presentation prior to game 6 in San Antonio. 24:09 ... The All-NBA Teams were announced over the weekend and the crew does a lightning round commenting on all the members of the first team. Cade Cunningham, SGA, Nikola Jokic, Wemby, and Luka Doncic make up the first team. Bruce has a big issue with one of the first teamers. 29:31 ... The All NBA Second team consists of Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, Kevin Durant, and Kawhi Leonard. The guys wondered if aging Kawhi Leonard can have another All-NBA season at age 34 after this season's great performance. 36:53 ... The All-NBA third team consists of Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Johnson, Jamal Murray, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Duren. Duren making the third team could really affect his contract negotiations with the Pistons due to the honor making him eligible for a Super Max contract worth $48 million more than he would have qualified for had he not been honored as an All-NBA performer. 45:16 ... We examine the All Defensive teams for the season. The first teamers are Wemby, Holmgren, Ausar Thompson, Derrick White, and Rudy Gobert. Bruce has a summer assigmnent for Thompson. 49:29 ... The second teamers are Scottie Barnes, Cason Wallace, Bam Adebayo, OG Anunoby, and Dyson Daniels. 52:39 ... Final Thoughts: Bruce on how Wemby's main "superpower" cannot be measured by analytics. World B on how the Orlando Magic's search for a new coach is still wide open with many potential great candidates in the mix. Ross closes with his thoughts on two former NBA players facing off in an MMA match in Las Vegas over the weekend. 56:56 ... Ross wraps it up and says goodbye.

On today’s episode, Jason discusses how the injuries to Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell could ultimately be what prevents Oklahoma City from getting back to the NBA Finals, Victor Wembanyama's continued dominance over Chet Holmgren (and the rest of the Thunder front line), and how San Antonio has managed to slow down MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in two of the four games in this series. Plus, J-Mac tells us why it's clear that this current Jalen Brunson-led New York Knicks squad is the best team in franchise history, and whether this scintillating 10-game Knicks run a sign of things to come or just a product of a watered-down Eastern Conference. #FSR Follow Jason on Twitter and Instagram.
