From 07/27 Hour 2: The NBA world can finally shift their focus elsewhere now that LeBron James has made his decision. Do you think the Philadelphia 76ers should be favorites to win the NBA Finals?
LeBron James is headed to Philadelphia, but Evan Roberts is already predicting the Sixers' new superteam will collapse. Evan questions whether LeBron, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe can develop the chemistry and continuity needed to win, while Tiki Barber believes the Knicks will eliminate Philadelphia in the second round. Shaun Morash goes the other way, picking the Sixers to knock out the defending champions before falling short of the NBA Finals. The stunning move also reignites the debate over whether Knicks-Sixers is truly a rivalry and whether LeBron originally wanted New York before the Knicks shut the door. Plus, Jalen Brunson's status as the king of New York, a hilariously awkward caller complimenting Tiki, and a heated Hall of Fame debate featuring Don Mattingly, Keith Hernandez, Alex Rodriguez and Thurman Munson.
A single ticket can feel like a confession when you're a caregiver. I'm telling one of the most vulnerable stories I've shared yet: how I tried to take care of myself while parenting up and carrying the heavy reality of dementia caregiving after my father died. The only reason I'm responsible for my mama the way I am comes back to that loss, and the grief still shows up in unexpected places.When the New York Knicks finally made the NBA Finals and the schedule landed Game 4 on my dad's birthday, I couldn't shake the pull. I wrestle with the price, the practicality, and the voice saying I should stay home and do the “reasonable” thing. But I've been practicing surrender and listening for intuition. That decision takes me all the way to Madison Square Garden alone, surrounded by die-hard fans, and straight into a moment I still can't explain.Here's the part that changed me: in a sold-out arena, the seat right next to mine stayed empty for the entire game. Add a wild comeback, a loud New York soundtrack, a wave of raw emotion, and suddenly this isn't only a basketball story, it's a caregiver burnout story, an Alzheimer's awareness story, and a grief story about honoring a parent and letting yourself receive comfort. If you've ever wondered what real self-care looks like when you're holding everything together, this one is for you.Subscribe on your favorite podcast app, share this with a caregiver in your life, and leave a review if it hits home.

Manny also tells a crazy story about being robbed at the Roosevelt Field mall movie theater and Dan tells a harrowing story about someone trying on hats in Macy's for hours. The guys also go off on some hilarious tangents about Christmas and Hanukkah, gifting a star to someone, Dan sending his mom to buy the self-titled Slipknot album, getting baked and doing holiday shopping, and this is all going on as the NY Knicks are mounting the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history (198.

It was a devastating, and yes, embarrassing loss for the U.S. Men last night as they faced off against Belgium in the round of 16 at the World Cup. We were the talk of the world for all the wrong reasons for most of the day and certainly in the hours leading up to the match. Many are now pointing to the added pressure from Trump, who placed a call to the FIFA president , which ultimately led to our star striker being allowed to play despite receiving a red card in the previous game. While having Flo Balogun on the field seemed like an advantage, turns out it wasn’t, and perhaps even shifted the team’s energy knowing the world was outraged by it. Some are pointing out several recent sporting events Trump has attended, that have resulted in losses, including Game 3 of the NBA Finals, where the Knicks lost their only game of the series.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Several days a week, Quinn Brown will head to Goodwill stores in the Portland area to spend hours at a time sifting through blue bins to look for clothes to resell on the secondhand clothing site Depop. Brown launched his business reselling vintage clothes in 2023, when he was a junior at Lincoln High School. He says his items sell on average for $13 and the biggest sale he’s netted to date was $250 for a ‘90s-era t-shirt. But all of that is about to change. Earlier this month, Sotheby’s listed for auction Brown’s thrift store find of a lifetime: a warm-up jacket worn by LA Lakers basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain during the 1972 NBA Finals. Brown spotted the warm-up jacket this past January during one of his weekly visits to the Goodwill store in Hillsboro. He paid $3 for the jacket, which Sotheby’s has authenticated and estimates to sell for as much as $250,000 when the auction closes on July 20. Brown shares more about his amazing discovery, how he got involved in reselling vintage clothes and the growing popularity of thrifting among Gen Z youth.

Whether shifting trends in moviegoers' tastes or continued superhero fatigue are to blame, Supergirl seems to be a miss at the box office this summer. Viewership is down significantly for season 2 of the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender, and it's far from the only show that seems to be losing viewer interest on Netflix.

Bomani Jones is joined by Dominique Foxworth for another episode of The Right Time, and they start with the massive NBA Finals ratings after the Knicks' championship run. Bomani and Dominique discuss why New York's title felt so big, how Jalen Brunson became a permanent New York legend, and why the biggest winner of the Knicks' championship might actually be James Dolan.
