Episode Notes
Bomani Jones is joined by Dominique Foxworth for another episode of The Right Time, and they start with the massive NBA Finals ratings after the Knicks’ championship run. Bomani and Dominique discuss why New York’s title felt so big, how Jalen Brunson became a permanent New York legend, and why the biggest winner of the Knicks’ championship might actually be James Dolan.
Then, Bomani and Dominique get into the backlash around Victor Wembanyama after the Finals. Was Wemby really a “villain,” or are fans just looking for the next superstar to tear down? They break down the criticism of his physicality, the handshake discourse, and why the reaction to Wemby says a lot about how we talk about young stars.
Plus, Bomani shares what it was like watching Senegal vs. France in Harlem during the World Cup, the energy around soccer in New York City, and why the World Cup hits differently depending on which neighborhood you’re in.
