Summary

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones discusses the New York Knicks offseason and Inside The NBA moving to ESPN. Bo starts off the show by acknowledging that the NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder is set, but he'll be previewing that during Wednesday's show (2:12). Bo brings up an article from The Athletic written about the Knicks right after their Game 6 Eastern Conference Finals loss (3:43), which highlighted issues with Karl-Anthony Towns, specifically with his defensive efforts (5:41). Bo also asks how Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson can be on the court at the same time if they're both poor defensively (17:00). Bo transitions to Inside The NBA leaving TNT and moving to ESPN (18:34), which has Bo hoping ESPN does postgame shows (30:41) and why Charles Barkley is the most important person in sports media (31:30). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving anonymous employee surveys, how to disappear off the grid and how every college student is just using AI (37:47). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the time you tried to fight your father.
