This episode of On the Clock with Krysten Peek is all about the presumptive #1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft: Victor Wembanyama.1:10 - First, KP chats with Kevin Danna, who was hired to call Victor’s games in France from his home in California for the NBA app. The NBA purchased the rights to the French league’s games strictly to make Victor’s games more accessible for the American audience, which says a lot about how global the sport is becoming and how little we used to know about international players entering the draft.Kevin talks a lot about how much Victor cares about winning, playing, and his teammates. He also tells us about his favorite Wemby highlights and some of the players on the same team that are now on the radar of NBA GMs heading into the draft that otherwise would not have gotten noticed.30:30 - We’re then joined by Tim Martin, who has been working as Wembanyama’s trainer since early 2020 and has seen a gangly 15 year old kid grow into a 19 year old basketball phenom that seems ready to take the NBA by storm.With Victor being maybe the most hyped prospect in NBA history, Tim and Krysten talk a lot about the pressure that is being put on him and why he has the right mentality to overcome it rather than being buried by it.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts

Jared Greenberg from TNT and NBA TV joins Vincent Goodwill for a fun episode of Good Word with Goodwill where the guys discuss problems in the Celtics locker room, Jimmy Butler being different, how the Nuggets built their team and the retirement of Carmelo Anthony.01:30 Miami Heat up 3-0 over Boston Celtics09:50 Celtics’ locker room rift22:55 Jimmy Butler’s Hall of Fame credentials37:55 Nuggets take 3-0 lead over the Lakers in WCF49:30 Are the Lakers good?59:40 Carmelo Anthony retires from the NBAAfter getting blown out by the Miami Heat last night, this episode of the Good Word with Goodwill podcast starts with Vincent Goodwill and NBA TV’s Jared Greenberg talking about what is wrong with the Boston Celtics and if there are problems in the locker room that could lead to big shifts this offseason.But the guys eventually come back around to the Miami Heat and, specifically, Jimmy Butler. Vincent tells a story from his time covering Jimmy on the Bulls and concludes that Butler has already played himself into the Basketball Hall of Fame through his playoff exploits.The Denver Nuggets look like the most complete and dominant team in the playoffs so far, taking a 3-0 lead into Los Angeles against the Lakers tonight, and part of that is due to the patience they have had with their roster and coaching staff. Through every failure, they’ve learned and grown and now they could be set up for a dynastic run.Speaking of the Lakers, the guys aren’t sure if the Lakers are good or if the Grizzlies and Warriors just imploded at a time that worked out great for LeBron James and Anthony Davis. They’re also a little worried about what Rob Pelinka might do to this roster in the offseason.Finally, we couldn’t end the podcast without paying some respect to the most underrated player of his generation: Carmelo Anthony. He announced his retirement from the NBA earlier today, leaving him 11th in points scored all-time. He never won a ring, and that could end up being his legacy, but let’s not let that get in the way of appreciating his impressive offensive game.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts

Jake and Dan are back with another fun episode of No Cap Room where they discuss “Playoff Jimmy” as a folk hero throughout time, Rui Hachimura as “The Jokic Stopper”, the best open head coaching jobs and Jake’s time at the NBA Draft Lottery and Combine.02:45 ECF: Celtics vs Heat (MIA 1-0)07:00 Playoff Jimmy20:10 Spoelstra vs. Mazzulla25:00 WCF: Nuggets vs. Lakers39:35 NBA Draft Lottery & Combine44:10 Coaching Carousel49:40 Which open job is the best one?Jake and Dan kick off this episode of “No Cap Room” with a look at the Eastern Conference Finals, which started last night with another epic performance from Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat to take home court advantage away from the Boston Celtics.Dan digs into the numbers to explain why “Playoff Jimmy” is a real thing, and Jake theorizes as to why Jimmy Butler denies it.After digging into the coaching mismatch in the Eastern Conference Finals, the guys switch their attention to the moves and countermoves that the coaching staffs of the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers are making when it comes to Nikola Jokic against L.A.'s defense.Jake is in Chicago, where he was able to attend the lottery drawing for the NBA Draft and the NBA Scouting Combine, and he tells us all about what (and who) is being talked about amongst the front office members in town.Finally, a lot of really great NBA head coaches are currently without a job and five NBA franchise are still looking for a head coach.

Immediately following the 2023 NBA Draft Lottery, Yahoo Sports NBA Draft Analyst Krysten Peek sat down with Matt Babcock from Draft Digest for a reaction to the top picks and to go over some winners and losers from the night.1:30 - We start with the big news: French phenom Victor Wembanyama is likely headed to the San Antonio Spurs, who now own the #1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Krysten and Matt talk about what an incredible prospect "Wemby" is, how he'd be able to fit in with any roster, and the Spurs' ready-made roster of young talent that fits around him.6:10 - The Charlotte Hornets got the 2nd pick in the draft, which means they need to make a decision. Do they go with Scoot Henderson, who is likely the 2nd best player in the draft, or with Brandon Miller, who would be a better fit in an offense where everything runs through LaMelo Ball?11:00 - The Portland Trail Blazers are sitting at 3, likely ready to take whichever player the Hornets don't take between Scoot and Miller, but what are they trying to do? Do they want young talent to build with or a veteran team to contend with Damian Lillard? That's a conversation they'll need to have before draft day.13:35 - Then we have the teams that tanked for (almost) nothing. The Houston Rockets and the Detroit Pistons have the 4th and 5th picks, respectively, but they have to be disappointed to not have one of those top 3 selections.26:50 - Krysten brings it back around by talking about the impending rivalry between Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren, which will start with a race for Rookie of the Year next season, and explains how excited she is to watch that matchup for years to come.38:05 - After talking a bit about what NBA teams will be looking for between now and the actual draft, Krysten and Matt end by giving their biggest winners and losers from the night.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts

NBA reporting legend David Aldridge joins Vince Goodwill to preview the Conference Finals, talk through what’s next for the Warriors and 76ers and discuss Ja Morant getting in trouble with a gun again. Cassandra Negley joins the show to preview the 2023 WNBA season.05:20 Warriors offseason14:00 Western Conference Finals: Nuggets vs. Lakers26:00 76ers fallout36:00 Eastern Conference Finals: Celtics vs. Heat39:30 Ja Morant55:25 WNBA Season PreviewWe have a certified legend on the show this week in David Aldridge, and he sits down for an all-encompassing conversation with Vince Goodwill about everything currently going on in the NBA.The guys start by talking about the reigning champion Golden State Warriors, who face a lot of serious roster-building questions this offseason and might just want to run in back again. Can they keep trying to build a young core to go with their veteran group?Then we turn our attention to the Denver Nuggets, who look unstoppable, and the Los Angeles Lakers, who might have the historic defense needed to stop the Nuggets. Anthony Davis is going to need to do it all if the Lakers are going to make it to the Finals, but can he stay healthy while doing so?Before jumping into the Eastern Conference Finals, David and Vince talk their way through a collapse by the Philadelphia 76ers against the Boston Celtics and what it means for the future of the franchise (and Joel Embiid).The Celtics definitely have more talent than the Miami Heat, but they’re coming off a long series where they used up a lot of their energy. Will they be able to handle a ferocious Heat team that plays as hard as any in the league? Can Joe Mazzulla hang with Erik Spoelstra in terms of coaching?Ja Morant is once again in the news for flashing a gun on Instagram Live, leading to a thorough conversation from Vince and David about Ja’s future and why he doesn’t compare very well to Allen Iverson.Finally, Yahoo Sports WNBA writer Cassandra Negley joins the show to help preview the upcoming season. It’s a battle of the superteams in the WNBA, but many eyes are watching to see if Brittney Griner can return to her MVP-level of play after a year in a Russian prison.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts

With Jake in Phoenix ready to attend Suns-Nuggets, the guys talk through last night’s Warriors win over the Lakers, the Knicks stepping up at MSG, how the All-NBA teams will affect the Boston Celtics and more.04:00 Warriors 121, Lakers 106 (LAL leads 3-2)11:30 Anthony Davis’ concussion18:20 Knicks 112, Heat 103 (MIA leads 3-2)38:25 All-NBA Teams43:00 Jaylen Brown52:00 HOT JAKESJake and Dan start off this episode of No Cap Room by talking about their shared experiences at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night before switching to the Golden State Warriors winning game 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers and how important Anthony Davis has become in that series.Later, the guys get back to the New York Knicks and talk about what a great spot that franchise is in after they decided to sign Jalen Brunson in free agency over trading away their young core to acquire Donovan Mitchell.The All-NBA teams are out, and Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown made the 2nd team. That’s great news for him, especially because it means that he is now eligible for the supermax contract extension this offseason, but it might be bad news for the Celtics in the face of changes in the CBA.Finally, we have “Hot Jakes”, where Jake fires off his hot takes from his travels around the league. This week, he’s got takes on the Denver Nuggets in-arena music and flight attendants.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts

Marcus Thompson from The Athletic joins Vince Goodwill to talk their way through the 2023 NBA Playoffs, with some extra time spent on the present and future of the Golden State Warriors and their star players (Steph Curry, Draymond Green & Klay Thompson).01:45 Steph Curry10:20 Draymond Green17:30 Devin Booker22:00 Nikola Jokic28:50 Heat up 2-1 over Knicks32:50 Steve Kerr36:10 76ers-Celtics are tied 2-2Marcus Thompson from The Athletic joins Vince Goodwill to talk their way through the 2023 NBA Playoffs, starting with Steph Curry and what fans should be expecting from him heading into Game 4 against the Lakers tonight.Draymond Green isn’t just vital to the Warriors’ chances of winning, Marcus says that they can’t win without him. Which version of Draymond shows up tonight and what does his future hold if another team offers him more money in free agency than Golden State is willing to?Devin Booker has arguably been the MVP of the 2023 NBA Playoffs (so far), and Vince sees a comparison between Booker and Steph Curry that he lays out before the conversation turns to former 2-time MVP Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. Did Jokic know he was pushing the Suns owner? Why are we always talking about his legacy? And why are we expecting Jokic to, at some point, win a championship?It’s obvious how important coaching has been through the first couple rounds of the NBA Playoffs, but it is most noticeable in the Heat/Knicks series where Erik Spoelstra is doing a wonderful job of leading a series with far less talent on his team. That leads the guys back to Steve Kerr, and how he has become a better coach since the first run of titles he had with the Warriors.Finally, the guys end with a conversation about the very talented 76ers and potential redemption for James Harden as a playoff superstar. There’s a path for Philadelphia to win a title this year, but it will depend on Harden (and Doc) showing up and proving playoff doubters wrong.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts

Jake and Dan are back with another fun episode of No Cap Room, this time taking a deeper dive on all four playoff series before recapping Jake’s night at the NBA Replay Center with the most interesting man in basketball.01:25 Celtics 121, 76ers 8704:30 Why did Joel Embiid play in game 2?13:10 Heat / Knicks (1-1) headed to Miami25:00 Lakers up 1-0 on Warriors32:00 Patrick Beverley & Russell Westbrook want their rings37:40 Nuggets up 2-0 on the Suns45:25 Jake at the NBA Replay CenterJoel Embiid declared himself back for the Philadelphia 76ers after winning the MVP Award, but that didn’t help his team to avoid getting drubbed by the Celtics in Boston. Was it just rust or should the 76ers be worried? And will Joel hurt himself further trying to flop his way to the free throw line?Jimmy Butler flipped off the MSG crowd after game 2, so Jake and Dan believe he’ll be back in game 3, but we’re waiting to see how healthy he is and what kind of home court advantage the Heat have in Miami. Speaking of, are we sure MSG offers the Knicks a home court advantage?The Los Angeles Lakers have the best defense in the league and are looking a lot like the 2020 championship team when Anthony Davis plays like he did in game 1. Do the Warriors have any way to stop him if he stays healthy through this series? If the Lakers win it all, Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley have both said that they want their championship rings…after trashing the team on their way out the door. Shameful or smart?The Denver Nuggets deserve some apologies from doubters after looking like a much better team in their series against the Phoenix Suns, and things should be even easier after Chris Paul’s groin injury. Was the trade for Kevin Durant a mistake for Phoenix?Finally, Jake spent a night at the NBA Replay Center for a story and ended up fascinated by the entire process and, more importantly, the most interesting man in basketball: Monty McCutchen.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts

Jason Goff, who does pre-game and post-game TV coverage for the Chicago Bulls and hosts The Full Go podcast about Chicago sports, joins Vincent Goodwill the morning after Steph Curry’s 50pt game 7 performance against the Kings to talk about everything going on before the 2nd round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs.04:00 - Warriors 120, Kings 10015:20 - Curry vs. Durant17:40 - Curry vs. Magic/Isaiah20:10 - Late-MJ Bulls vs. today’s Warriors27:20 - Curry vs. LeBron35:25 - LeBron vs. Draymond39:30 - Jimmy Butler47:20 - Knicks vs. HeatJason Goff stops by the show to talk about…well, everything with Vincent Goodwill. Much of the conversation centers around Steph Curry and how much the 50pt game 7 against the Sacramento Kings boosts his own place in NBA history, and how it compares to the legacies of other great point guards (Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas) along with his contemporaries (LeBron James, Kevin Durant).All of this leads to a comparison between the current Golden State Warriors and the Chicago Bulls during their final championship run with Michael Jordan, two teams that learned how to win even after their physical traits started to fade.Vince talked with Draymond Green about playing against his friends on the Los Angeles Lakers and how that factors into the intensity that he usually plays with, leading to a conversation about the right way to play basketball against your closest friends.Finally, Jimmy Butler may not be healthy but he’s still making a huge impact in the playoffs. Can he be healthy enough to drag the Heat to another series win, this time against Jalen Brunson, Julius Randle and the New York Knicks?Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts

Jimmy Butler and the #8 seed Miami Heat took care of Giannis Antetokounmpo and the #1 seed Milwaukee Bucks in just 5 games after coming back in the 4th quarter yet again.After the game, Giannis talked with the media about what is, and what isn’t, a failure when you’re an NBA player. That has stirred up a lot of conversation, including a very interesting one between Jake and Dan.The New York Knicks bludgeoned the Cleveland Cavaliers in 5 games for another playoff upset, but the guys spend most of the time talking about the unenviable situation the Cavs find themselves in heading into the offseason and how their biggest roster weakness ended up becoming the focal point of the Knicks’ defense.The Memphis Grizzlies are now 1 win away from sending their series against the Los Angeles Lakers to 7 games, and that may be bad news for LeBron James and an aging Lakers roster. LeBron is already not looking quite like himself and Dan is wondering how much he’s got left in the tank.The Golden State Warriors have roared back from down 0-2 to take a commanding 3-0 lead against the Sacramento Kings. It’s not that the Kings are playing poorly, it’s more like the dynasty has finally woken up and the Warriors look impossible to beat with all of their starters now healthy and playing at a high level.Finally, the Los Angeles Clippers are out of the playoffs and Kawhi Leonard has yet another knee injury. What do we expect from them this offseason? Do they have any other option but to run it back with this same group and hope for better health?Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports Podcasts
