Victor Wembanyama's MVP Push, NBA's 65 Game rule, Jay-Z's disappointing interview | Bomani Jones

Victor Wembanyama might already be the story of the NBA season — but is he actually the MVP? Bomani and Jason Goff dig into Wemby’s rise, the 65-game rule, how we talk about MVPs, all‑NBA, money, and legacies, and why this era of basketball feels so different from the one they grew up on.
They also get into Dominique Wilkins vs. “loser” talk, James Harden’s reputation, Anthony Edwards’ legend run, and what happens when Jokic and the Nuggets have to deal with Wemby in a real series.
Then Bomani and Jason break down Jay‑Z’s new GQ interview — billionaire talk, “I didn’t get here by taking advantage of people,” the myth of Hov, capitalism, and why sometimes it’s actually okay to “just be a rapper.”
Finally, Bo brings Jason one of the wildest, most uncomfortable news stories you’ve ever heard: a quadruple‑amputee cornhole star accused of murder, how TV news tried (and failed) to play it straight, and what that says about media, curiosity, and basic honesty.
