Spencer Hall on Maradona’s Hand of God, Zidane’s Headbutt & the World Cup’s Wildest Moments | 06.16
Bomani Jones is joined by Spencer Hall for a Time Machine Tuesday edition of The Right Time to revisit some of the most chaotic, controversial, and unforgettable WTF moments in World Cup history. Bo and Spencer break down Diego Maradona’s infamous “Hand of God” goal against England in the 1986 World Cup, the geopolitical weight behind Argentina vs. England, and why Maradona followed one of soccer’s most blatant acts of cheating with one of the greatest goals the sport has ever seen. Then, they jump to the 2006 World Cup Final and Zinedine Zidane’s stunning headbutt against Italy, discussing how trash talk, pressure, and Italian defensive dark arts helped create one of the most shocking exits in sports history. Plus, Bo and Spencer look ahead to the 2026 World Cup in North America, from brutal summer heat to public transportation problems, stadium naming chaos, and why international fans may not be ready for how big — and inconvenient — the United States really is.

Jalen Brunson, the Knicks, and the NBA Championship That Took Over New York | 06.14
The Knicks finally did it. Bomani Jones reacts to the New York Knicks winning the NBA championship, Jalen Brunson’s legendary 45-point closeout performance, and what this title means for New York City. Bo breaks down how Brunson cemented himself as the king of New York, why the Knicks’ depth, conditioning, and maturity ultimately separated them from the Spurs, and how Mike Brown coached a championship-level series. Bomani also reflects on the unique relationship between the Knicks and New York City — from Madison Square Garden to the streets, bars, parks, and neighborhoods that turned this championship run into a citywide experience. Why does this title feel different from other championships? Why do the Knicks hit New Yorkers so deeply? And what does this moment say about basketball as theater, culture, and community? Plus, Bomani discusses the start of the World Cup, the excitement around the U.S. men’s national team, and the experience of international fans discovering America through sports, road trips, Waffle House, Buc-ee’s, and the South.

De’Aaron Fox and the Spurs Blew an All-Time Lead | 06.11
Bomani Jones reacts to one of the wildest NBA playoff endings in recent memory as the New York Knicks storm back against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. After the Spurs dominated the first half and looked ready to take control of the series, everything fell apart late — from rushed shots and questionable coaching decisions to De’Aaron Fox’s brutal second-half execution. Bomani breaks down why this collapse reminded him of infamous football meltdowns like the Houston Oilers blowing a 35-3 lead and the Atlanta Falcons’ 28-3 Super Bowl disaster. He explains why San Antonio’s inability to slow the game down, manage the clock, and protect a massive lead turned a dominant performance into an all-time choke. The conversation also gets into Wemby’s missed free throws, OG Anunoby’s incredible game-winning tip-in, Jalen Brunson’s late-game shot-making, Josh Hart nearly becoming the story for the wrong reason, and why Madison Square Garden’s nervous energy makes Knicks playoff games feel different. Bomani also questions whether the Knicks’ comeback was more about their resilience or San Antonio completely losing control. Plus, Bomani discusses the NBA’s ongoing officiating discourse, why ref talk takes over every playoff conversation, how social media fuels conspiracy theories, and what to expect in Game 5 as the Spurs try to avoid letting one loss beat them twice.

Tom Haberstroh on Victor Wembanyama becoming the Villain + Knicks biggest issue | 06.10
On this episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones is joined by Tom Haberstroh to break down why Victor Wembanyama has completely changed this series and why the New York Knicks suddenly look like they’re running out of answers. They dig into Wemby’s dominance on both ends, how San Antonio keeps getting him downhill and at the rim, and why Tom thinks the Spurs should actually feel like they could be up 3-0 right now. Bomani and Tom also get into what’s going wrong for the Knicks late in games, including Jalen Brunson’s extreme ball dominance, the lack of flow in New York’s offense, and Karl-Anthony Towns disappearing in crunch time after such a strong start to the series. From there, they discuss whether the Knicks can make the adjustments needed in Game 4, whether Wemby has already become the biggest force in the series, and why his physical edge and swagger are turning him into one of the most polarizing stars in the league. They also hit the controversial officiating around Wemby’s contact with Brunson, the NBA’s response to that play, what this matchup says about who’s built for the moment, and even where Jalen Brunson belongs in the all-time Knicks conversation.

Victor Wembanyama Has the Knicks SHOOK + Brendan Sorsby’s NCAA Gambling Case | 06.09
Bomani Jones reacts to Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs flipping the NBA Finals with a physical Game 3 win over the Knicks, including why New York looked rattled, why Jalen Brunson got baited into ISO ball, and why Wemby set the tone in a hostile environment. Later, Bomani breaks down Brendan Sorsby’s NCAA gambling case, the temporary injunction that let him play this season, and why the bigger story is about zero-tolerance policies, addiction, and the NCAA’s athlete-first standard. Plus, Bomani gets to a few voicemails and stories on Ray Allen, Scott Skiles, and White Keisha. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Knicks come home for game 3, Victor Wembanyama Backlash, World Cup Fever heats up | 06.08
Bomani Jones breaks down why the New York Knicks suddenly look like a completely different team in the NBA Finals, why they feel inevitable with a 2-0 lead, and why this run is starting to feel a lot bigger than anyone expected. Bo also gives Karl-Anthony Towns his proper credit, arguing that KAT has been the best player on the floor, while pushing back on the easy Victor Wembanyama criticism by explaining how much of his rough night was really about the Knicks’ size, physicality, and defense. From there, Bo and Ryan get into the huge NBA Finals ratings bump, what Victor’s star power means for the league, why the World Cup’s dangerous heat is becoming one of the tournament’s biggest storylines, and why Anthropic’s warning about powerful AI sounds a lot less crazy than people want to admit.

Danny Parkins on Knicks beating Spurs in game 1 of NBA Finals, Russell Wilson's Hall of Fame case | 06.04
In this episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones and Danny Parkins break down why Karl-Anthony Towns might be the real key to a New York Knicks title run. Bomani argues that KAT has been the Knicks' best player in the postseason and explains why New York looks its most dangerous when the offense runs through Towns instead of falling into heavy Jalen Brunson isolation ball. They also get into how Towns' aggressiveness has changed the way people see him, why his effort level has been the biggest difference, and what this kind of playoff run could mean for his long-term legacy if the Knicks finish the job. Later in the episode, Bomani and Danny debate Russell Wilson's Hall of Fame case, including how much his Pro Bowls matter, how his resume compares to Matthew Stafford, and whether public opinion has swung too far against him after the Denver years.

From Wemby’s rise on the biggest stage in basketball to the pressure on Brunson and KAT to deliver in the Finals, this episode covers what matters most heading into a massive championship matchup. They also get into whether Victor Wembanyama is on a path we haven’t seen since LeBron, why the Knicks’ guards could decide the series, and why these Finals feel loaded with legacy-defining stakes. Beyond the NBA Finals talk, Bomani and Jason also discuss the possibility of a Jay-Z vs. Drake battle, why that rap beef feels unwinnable for Drake, what A.J. Brown could mean for the Patriots, and how much pressure could be coming with that move. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
