2024-25 NBA Season Preview with Bomani Jones | Good word with good will

On this episode of Good Word with Goodwill, Yahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill is joined by Bomani Jones to continue the conversation they had last week about the NBA.

The boys start with the champion Boston Celtics. With the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers making big changes to their rosters to catch Boston, which one is the biggest threat to win the Eastern Conference this year?

Who is the best player in the Eastern Conference? Are we sure it’s not Jayson Tatum? And if not, why isn’t it Jayson Tatum, after declaring himself the best player on the best team in the league? Whether or not the Celtics can repeat this could ultimately determine how we feel about Tatum for the rest of his career.

Moving to the Western Conference, are the Los Angeles Lakers good enough to make the playoffs? They have talent, but perhaps not enough to compete in one of the deepest conferences in NBA history. And adding Bronny James to theoretically play real minutes during his rookie season shows that their priorities may not be in order.

Finally, before we let Bomani go, Vinnie wondered how Adam Silver’s push for greater equality in the NBA fits with someone who has kept a close eye on the NBA for decades. Since we have him, we also asked Bo to give us his predictions for the MVP, NBA Championship and Finals game for the upcoming season.
