Vincent Goodwill is once again joined by Isis "Ice" Young on the latest episode of the Good Word with Goodwill podcast. The duo kicks off the show by diving into NBA.com's recent survey of general managers from around the league. They discuss the GMs' picks for the Celtics to potentially repeat as champions, Jayson Tatum winning the title of "best small forward," and what Shai Gilgeous-Alexander needs to do to have a shot at the MVP award this season. Tune in to hear their insights and analysis on these hot NBA topics.

After talking about the Mavericks, who have plenty of depth after adding players like Klay Thompson and Spencer Dinwiddie but will miss Dante Exum after the Australian guard had wrist surgery, Vinnie and Ice talk about the Orlando Magic's defense and their need to add a point guard to their starting lineup.

After last night's win over the Connecticut Sun, the Minnesota Lynx earned a spot in the NBA Finals against the New York Liberty. These are the two best teams in the league, by record, but the Lynx have had the Liberty's number this season. Find out who Ice is predicting will win the series and what you should be looking for.

Finally, the 2024 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame class is getting ready to be inducted this weekend, and Vinnie has thoughts. Vince Carter and Chauncey Billups make sense, as two players who are maybe underappreciated for their greatness, but Michael Cooper? Walter Davis is given some love as a dominant scorer who played in a league that was very different than it is today.
