Summary

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones discusses the Oklahoma City Thunder winning Game 2 of the NBA Finals over the Indiana Pacers. Bo starts off the show by declaring why Tyrese Haliburton shouldn't be considered a superstar yet (1:12) but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander can certainly be the best player on a championship winning team (7:31). Bo also makes the prediction that Chet Holmgren will end up in the Hall of Fame at the end of his career (9:34). Bo moves onto criticizing the NBA Finals presentation because it just feels like a regular game - not a championship (18:55) and why ABC/ESPN needs to stop trying to sell the NBA like it's football (24:18). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving ketamine clinics, expensive bachelorette parties and what we got wrong about the universe (34:22). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the time you quit playing football (44:34).

1:13.1	no superstar. But by the way, he has time to get there. I just want to be clear about that.
1:18.5	But the way that we know he ain't no superstar is he hit that shot at the end of the game one,
