Vincent Goodwill is joined by Isis “Ice” Young every Wednesday on the Good Word with Goodwill podcast. They kick off the show by discussing NBA.com’s recent survey of GMs across the league. Topics include why the Celtics are favored to repeat, Jayson Tatum’s recognition as the best small forward, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s MVP chances this season.
The conversation then shifts to the Dallas Mavericks, who have bolstered their roster with additions like Klay Thompson and Spencer Dinwiddie but will be without Dante Exum due to wrist surgery. Vinnie and Ice also analyze the Orlando Magic’s defensive performance and the need for a point guard in their starting lineup.
Following the Minnesota Lynx’s victory over the Connecticut Sun, they are set to face the New York Liberty in the NBA Finals. Despite being the top two teams in the league based on record, the Lynx have dominated the Liberty this season. Ice shares her prediction for the series outcome and key factors to watch for.
The episode ends with a discussion on the upcoming induction of the 2024 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame class. Vincent shares his thoughts on notable inductees like Vince Carter, Chauncey Billups, Michael Cooper, and Walter Davis.
