Who are the five best players at every position in the NBA right now? Wes Goldberg is joined by Mo Dakhil and Basketball Poetry's Mike Shearer for the RealGM Radio Summer Roundtable to build their top-five rankings at point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward and center. There's just one problem: Nobody has seen anyone else's list. The guys debate where stars such as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka Doncic, Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo belong — and first have to settle an increasingly complicated question: What position does everyone actually play? They compare rankings, defend their biggest disagreements and determine which positions are deepest — and weakest — entering the 2026-27 NBA season. 00:00 Point Guard 14:20 Shooting Guard 23:12 Small Forward 31:50 Power Forward 42:20 Center #nba #nbaanalysis #podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Robert Horry is broadcasting this week's show from Reykjavik, Iceland, where he's running a basketball camp — and naturally, that means a special edition of Where in the World Is Robert Horry before the guys even get to basketball talk. Big Shot Bob and Rob Jenners hold things down while B-Dawg keeps him honest on the Iceland details (yes, it really is closer to England than you'd think).   Once the travel talk wraps, the crew dives into a loaded NBA news week. The Dodgers' trade for Tarik Skubal has LA fans wondering if the Lakers can pull off something similar, but Rob Horry isn't buying a big splash — the roster's full and the pool to jump in is more kiddie-sized than Olympic. From there it's Klay Thompson trade buzz, with reports connecting him back to Los Angeles or Miami, and a real conversation about what he'd actually bring to a team defensively at this stage of his career.   The extension talk gets serious with Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, and Karl-Anthony Towns all eligible for new deals — and the guys dig into whether AD's injury history and KAT's apron situation in New York make those moves less likely than people think. That leads into the biggest storyline of the week: is it actually time for Golden State to consider life after Steph? Horry and Harper break down the Warriors' rough draft history since 2012, why Jonathan Kuminga still doesn't have a landing spot, and what a real Steph Curry trade market might even look like.   Plus: the Kawhi Leonard investigation drags into 2027, Victor Wembanyama gets his own signature Nike shoe, Chris Bosh reveals a scary health scare from earlier this year, Kelsey Plum gets traded to the Phoenix Mercury, and Kendrick Perkins' top-5-in-the-East list gets torched. All that, a big shout to a teenage lifeguard hero, and Robert Horry defending his Where in the World title from six thousand miles away.  

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil debate if Pat Bryant is on track to become an emerging star for the Broncos. Will Bryant's consistency overshadow Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims' big-play ability with their speed? We pivot to the Nuggets and Nikola Jokic. We hear from the Hoop Collective and their thoughts on how the Nuggets should not want Jokic's extension hanging in the balance. Is Jokic being selfish if he takes the most amount of money possible when we've seen stars like Jalen Brunson and Victor Wembanyama take less recently? Zach and Phil recap their time out at Broncos training camp today. Is the Broncos defense showing they're a top defense again after a slow start to camp last week? 

While Jaylen Brown is digging his new threads, it was something else he said in last night's livestream that is putting the East on notice!!!The Mercury have been in retrograde this season, so could new acquisition Kelsey Plum get the stars aligned in her Phoenix debut??We check in on Victor Wembanyama -- he has been anything but idle while getting ready for the upcoming season!

Can a modern NBA draft class become the greatest defensive class in league history? Wes Goldberg is joined by Basketball Poetry's Mike Shearer to debate whether the 2017 and 2023 draft classes are on pace to challenge legendary groups like 1984 and 1996 thanks to the emergence of Bam Adebayo, Derrick White, Victor Wembanyama, Amen Thompson and more. Then Mike brings his own Good Take on why restricted free agency has become one of the NBA's most misunderstood roster-building tools.  Finally, it's another edition of Summer 3-Way, where Wes and Mike each lay out the three moves they would make to finish the Miami Heat's offseason, including whether Miami should prioritize Klay Thompson, pivot to DeMar DeRozan, target an overlooked young player, or preserve flexibility for the buyout market.

On today’s episode, Jason discusses whether the addition of LeBron James would make any of the reported final four teams (Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors) legitimate championship contenders, how the dreaded second apron is causing NBA teams like the Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder to sell off key players for pennies on the dollar, whether Victor Wembanyama's decision to take a hometown discount from the San Antonio Spurs is good for the league, why young stars like Cooper Flagg are going to have to consider the quality of their team's front office more than ever before, and much more! #FSR Follow Jason on Twitter and Instagram.

Super Producer Rob G is in for Rob, and he and Kelvin debate whether it's fair to say LeBron James saved the Los Angeles Lakers when he came over in free agency eight years ago, discuss John Calipari's claim that it's nice to see guys like Victor Wembanyama taking less in an effort to help the team, and tell us if Bryson DeChambeau made a mistake by not boycotting the rest of The Open Championship.

This week on Sports Guyz Only, Nathaniel is out sick, which leaves the rest of the crew plenty of time to roast Carter's wedding, question whether jeans belong at formal events, and pitch perhaps the greatest wedding job of all time: making Joey the official beer vendor at a future reception. Then it's time for sports. The guys dive into one of the biggest debates of the podcast: did the Minnesota Wild have any choice but to pay Kirill Kaprizov? Using Sidney Crosby's historic contract as the measuring stick, they break down NHL salary cap percentages, Florida's tax advantage, whether Kaprizov is truly a top-tier superstar, and just how much a franchise player should command. It's a passionate hockey debate that has the crew ranking the NHL's best players and arguing over what it really takes to build a Stanley Cup contender. The conversation shifts to the NBA as Victor Wembanyama's decision to leave money on the table sparks a discussion about stars sacrificing salary to chase championships. That naturally leads back to the latest LeBron James rumors, with the guys debating whether Minnesota still has a legitimate shot, why Cleveland might make the most sense, and whether pairing LeBron with LaMelo Ball would actually work. The episode closes with fantasy football season officially on the horizon. The crew brainstorms new league rules, dynasty formats, hilarious punishments, and ways to make every season just a little more chaotic. Plus: •Ranking the NHL's current superstars •NFL dynasty debates •Odell Beckham Jr.'s comments on "generational wealth" •Blake Bortles' legendary retirement mindset •Kendrick Perkins as sports television entertainment •Nathaniel's impressive World Cup predictions As always, it's hockey arguments, NBA offseason rumors, fantasy football trash talk, and enough random tangents to remind everyone why no topic is ever truly off limits.

He also talks Summer League standouts, the AJ Dybantsa vs. Darryn Peterson matchup, the ongoing Kawhi Leonard and LA Clippers investigation & whether anyone actually cares how that case ends.

Bomani Jones is joined by Vernon “Mad Max” Maxwell for a long, funny, and extremely candid NBA conversation on this episode of The Right Time. Maxwell returns to the show to talk about his second act in sports media, how he still trains like a player, and why he believes some of the biggest storylines in the league are being misunderstood. Bomani and Max dive deep into the Jalen Brown conversation, including why Maxwell remains so high on Brown as a player, why he thinks the criticism has gone too far, and what Brown could look like in Philadelphia alongside Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid. They also get into what Boston may have gotten wrong, whether Jayson Tatum should have done more to keep Brown around, and why the Celtics' decision still doesn't sit right with Max. The conversation also covers Hakeem Olajuwon's one-of-one greatness, Giannis Antetokounmpo trade speculation involving the Miami Heat, LeBron James' future after the Lakers, the appeal of a Jokic-LeBron fit in Denver, LaMelo Ball's evolution, Jalen Brunson's footwork and mentality, and why Victor Wembanyama could be on the verge of becoming the face of the NBA.
