  • Good Take

    Insightful with some good discussions but the new music ends so abruptly I can’t help but chuckle. It almost feels like an SNL thing. Still, good show if you know ball.

  • Great content, bad production

    The dialogue on RealGM Radio is generally very high level and the commentary is unique. In that way it is a 5 star show. But routinely the production falls very short with balancing the levels of the podcasters and music— resulting in huge discrepancies in the hosts volume and jump scares as the music blasts when they go to break. As someone who generally has to listen with the volume lower, it’s very off-putting. Really hope they figure that side of it out because all of the hosts themselves ar... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Winners & Losers of the 2025-26 NBA Season (with Keith Parish)
Q: What was the biggest winner of the season in your view?
The Knicks emerged as the standout winner, driven by bold moves, a bold trade strategy, and exceptional performances from Jalen Brunson who elevated his status and defined the team's championship arc.
Are the Pistons Done? Who has the Edge in Nuggets-Timberwolves & Rapid NBA Predictions
Q: Prediction number four. Where is LeBron playing next season?
The hosts lean toward the Lakers as the most likely destination due to current LA ties, cap space, and LeBron's comfort with the Lakers' setup, while acknowledging other options remain conceivable depending on money and playoff potential.
NBA Playoffs' 10 Most Interesting Players & NBA Awards Picks (with Es Baraheni & Cedric Maxwell)
Q: Who should be MVP this playoffs according to the hosts and guests?
The discussion centers on Victor Wembanyama as a strong favorite, with Jokic and SGA also in the mix, while others like Tatum and Mitchell are considered depending on how their teams perform in the playoffs.
NBA Tiers with Matt Moore | RealGM Radio with Wes Goldberg
Q: What criteria are you using to tier teams, and how are you measuring 'meeting expectations' over the next calendar year?
We're evaluating whether teams can reach or surpass the playoff threshold and extend their competitive window through a mix of current form, injuries, and offseason moves that could push them toward or away from title contention.
James Harden Wants Out, Best Giannis Trade Packages and Mailbag
Q: What do you want to happen? Do you want to see Giannis come back here and play a couple more games in a Bucks jersey?
I think if Giannis was just like, hey, I'm not happy with this... I'd kind of just like to root the bandaid off and have it be done, because the whole season has been annoying.
