Bomani Jones and Vinnie Goodwill go back to the two NBA Finals that defined Dirk Nowitzki’s career: 2006 and 2011.

They break down how Dirk changed the league, why the “soft” label followed him for years, how the We Believe Warriors loss stuck to him, and why that 2011 championship run completely changed the way we talk about his legacy.

If you remember Dwyane Wade living at the line, the fake cough, the Heatles pressure cooker, and Dallas finally getting its revenge, this is the full Dirk story.

Bomani Jones and Dominique Foxworth are back for Foxworth Friday on The Right Time, breaking down Lamar Jackson's unusual power with the Baltimore Ravens, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive problems, Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears, Deshaun Watson's comeback, and Ernie Johnson's retirement from Inside the NBA.

First, Bomani and Dominique discuss the WNBA Finals scheduling controversy and the outrage surrounding a daytime championship game. They explore whether the league could have handled the situation differently and why conversations surrounding women's basketball have become so contentious.

Then it's time for the NFL. With the Baltimore Ravens preparing to face the Buffalo Bills, the guys examine Lamar Jackson's injury situation and the extraordinary control he has over his career. Dominique explains why Lamar's approach to contracts, communication, and team relationships differs from nearly every other quarterback in the NFL. They also discuss the Ravens' defensive struggles and Marlon Humphrey.

The Chicago Bears are making moves, with Jeffery Simmons joining their defense and Caleb Williams continuing to show improvement under Ben Johnson. Bomani and Dominique discuss whether Chicago is becoming a legitimate contender before turning to the undefeated Minnesota Vikings, the Detroit Lions, Jared Goff, and concerns about Jahmyr Gibbs' workload.

Could Deshaun Watson actually win NFL Comeback Player of the Year? The guys examine the Cleveland Browns' surprising record, Watson's future, and the uncomfortable questions surrounding his potential resurgence.

Plus, Dominique explains why adding another wide receiver won't automatically fix Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. The real issue, he argues, is their ability to establish the run against elite defenses.

Finally, Bomani and Dominique celebrate Ernie Johnson's remarkable career following his retirement announcement. They discuss why Ernie became such a beloved figure on Inside the NBA alongside Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kenny Smith, what makes the show's chemistry so special, and whether Adam Lefkoe is the natural successor.

Bomani and Jason break down Bonds' remarkable statistics, his dominance with the Pittsburgh Pirates and San Francisco Giants, and the incredible four-year stretch from 2001 to 2004 that produced numbers baseball may never see again. They explain why Bonds was already an all-time great before the steroid allegations and revisit the 1998 home run chase involving Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa that helped change the course of baseball history.

The conversation also examines the media's treatment of Bonds, the role of performance-enhancing drugs throughout baseball, and the double standards that shaped the legacies of the steroid era's biggest stars.

Plus, Bomani and Jason discuss why Chicago Cubs fans turned on Sammy Sosa while San Francisco Giants fans continued embracing Barry Bonds, the difference between Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr., and why Bonds remains one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in sports history.
