On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones discusses the Oklahoma City Thunder winning Game 4 of the NBA Finals and Desmond Bane being traded. Bo starts off the show by praising Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's finish to Game 4 (2:35) and why he'd rather see SGA create space for himself than fake a fall (3:26). Bo continues by saying it's the most wide open NBA Finals we've ever seen (10:04) and jokes that Lu Dort would've been in the NFL if he was born in the United States (11:36). Bo weighs in on the Memphis Grizzlies trading Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic by declaring that it is not a "blockbuster" (15:37) and that this may mean Ja Morant will be moved next (21:48). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving Hollywood dying, difficulties of teaching middle schoolers and private equity companies buying everything (28:52). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the time your mom showed up to ruin something fun. (41:17)
