RealGM Radio: Shane Young Discusses NBA Playoffs – Challenges for Warriors and Nuggets, Ja Morant’s Injury Impact

So, picture this: Wes Goldberg hanging out with Shane Young from Forbes. They’re just chatting, you know, about life, basketball, and all things Kevin Durant. Honestly, working with KD? Probably feels like trying to paint the Mona Lisa but with basketballs and sweatbands. And I’m guessing Shane’s got some stories that are pure gold—or maybe just mildly shiny tin.

They kickoff digging into whether the Denver Nuggets are… well, kinda done for against the LA Clippers. It’s one of those debates that feels like arguing over who makes the better peanut butter and jelly—smooth versus chunky, you know? Almost too silly to take sides, yet here we are. Somewhere around the 12-minute mark they get into it, and it gets, let’s say, lively.

Then there’s Jimmy Butler. His injury’s got folks biting their nails over the Warriors versus Rockets. Around 27 minutes in, they’re talking about the ripple effect of one guy hobbling around like he’s trying to dance on a sprained ankle. Ah, sports drama—a never-ending soap opera, but instead of tears, there’s sweat.

Wes then takes a moment to confess his dislike for watching the Knicks. Maybe it’s their game style. Or their jerseys. Or the popcorn at Madison Square Garden. Who knows. But around the 51-minute mark, it’s clear—from the pit of his stomach—that there’s something about them that grates on him like nails on a chalkboard.

Then there’s this bit on Ja Morant’s injury. Somewhere near 55 minutes, they go deep and, honestly, the tone shifts like a playlist switching from heavy metal to acoustic love songs. It hits hard, ya know?

Anyways, zipping along to the Thunder. Holy cow, they’re tearing through teams like they’re just pretending to be underdogs. Dominance at its finest, I guess? I think it’s around 1:05:00 that they dive into it. Listening to this might almost inspire you to start believing in magic—or maybe just in really strategic basketball plays.

Finally, there’s Evan Mobley snapping up DPOY honors. It should come with a crown, ’cause the guy’s basically guarding like he’s royalty. They’re at this around 1:10:00, and it feels just right, like the last piece of the puzzle. Or maybe a concluding bow on an elaborate gift.

Crazy roller coaster of a chat, all wrapped up with a bow—more or less. Don’t forget, if you like a bit of that basketball chaos with your morning coffee, head over to RealGM Radio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or jump on YouTube. Or not. But probably, yes.
