OMG….. NICK WAS FINALLY RIGHT
Nick man shoutout to him give him his props. He could have took the skip bayless route and make a fool of himself with everything he says and then 1 out of 50 terrible takes comes true and he gloats about it. Nick is a goat he will be LOADED $$$$$ Tom Brady bread pretty soon
😮

Gotta give Nick credit on this one. He was about the only analyst that predicted Dallas was going to win this series.
And me
That’s a fact
@@mranderson8725 gj wolfie =]
The only one...🧐
He is almost never wrong even if he jokes about it lol
I’ve never seen an analyst stand by his convictions (down 2-0), when no one else gave Mavs a chance. And it happened just as he said. Mavs fan or not, I’m big Mavs fan and I didn’t think they could get it done. Booker and Paul will never forget this. They laughed at Luka. And he rose up and took both of them down. I like Suns. I like Phoenix. But their arrogance cost Phoenix a championship.
Yessir...I can't understand for the life of me how u can be that arrogant having not even a championship 🏆 under your belt ya know?
@@koldtruth4961
Being arrogant facing luka is the dumbest thing someone can do
@@Benedict_Savage facts 💯
Keep underestimating the Don as he breaks hearts and records in the coming years …. Ahahahahahaha
I’m fairly certain nick bet a grand on the nuggets to beat the clippers while they were down 3-1 in 2020 and won $40k off it 😂😂

Nick was 100% right. I like everyone on the show, but think it's messed up that Chris can't just give him his props on this one. I think he's nit-picking saying "how sure were you?"...Bottom line is Nick believed in Luka as a true superstar, dominant player and he believed in the Mavs having a good chance to win, while nobody else on the show gave Luka or the Mavs a chance - even after they showed some grit. So rather than try to look for minor ways that Nick was off, the other hosts' focus should be on the MAJOR ways that they were off. (This is coming from a person who didn't believe in Mavs having a good chance to win at all. )
I mean he did give him his props, he just did it in an embarrassed way
@@kingexclusivo Lol. I mean... I feel like it gets kinda negated when u start picking at the other person and looking for faults. (Not saying he didn't give him his props at all.)
@@mattk720 true true
Just saying Nick is no better when it comes to giving props to others when the Chiefs lose
it’s a show for entertainment
Nick Wright is having a field day with these takes today 😅
He was wrong about Bucks winning over Celtics.
@@winter32842 you’re right I forgot about that one
@@winter32842 To be fair it was super close
@@kingexclusivo nah celtics killed bucks by the 4th quarter it just wasn’t as bad as the mavs. Both series went to game 7s too
@@TheBlackestKnight21 I mean the series not game 7. I don’t care tbh i’m the biggest Giannis hater there is lol
Luka is like Goku, man. He was out here beating grown men when he was a child. Now he's looking like the best on the planet.
So in thie scenario nick is Bardock lmaooo
Great analogy!
Son Luka.
He took down nappa and vegeta, now he has to go up against the Ginyu force (warriors)
That's actually a great analogy 😂
The Suns were shook. Simple as. For a team that talked tough, they were so soft inside. Cp3 and booker aren't those guys
Phoenix Softbuns
Phoenix Bums
Cp3 is definitely that guy he’s just old
@@justthisguy1948 he’s never been the guy, every time he gets a chance he chokes
@@Reallyjoyboyfr yup and this was his chance to change the narrative and he failed
as a suns fan, im in a lot of pain.... but i couldn't wait to hear nick rip into these two this morning lol. he was the only analyst out of 30+ that even picked the Mavs to win, and i'll probably be rooting for Luka the rest of the way now, what a player man.
Respect 🙏
Cp3 had an injured left quad it was clear he couldn’t move
@@tyresejones3535 Yea, clearly you could see that he couldn't run 25 mph...
@@tyresejones3535 then that’s on the coaching staff for not pulling him out and making an adjustment. Either way it doesn’t matter, the mavs dominated the suns
Don’t matter if... if CP was injured, that team won many games without his stars players!! No excuses to be blown out over the third quarter and no one made a shot!!! It’s unacceptable 🤦🏻♀️
Lord have mercy! Luka just unleashed his father, Nick Wright!
Luka in 7 had more points then 4th placed MVP Booker, more rebounds than 7 footer Ayton, more steals then DPOY runner up Bridges and more assists then ''Point God'' CP3 LMFAO
Lol wow
AND, his career game 7 averages went down!
Even though it’s only his 4th (silly to say that being this young) he has the best game 7 stats all-time 🙌
Hahaha!
Nick you are the best, i am from Slovenia and it was so nice to see that you stood behind Mavericks and Luka all the time, my favorite commentator, same as Luka, the GOAT !!
The best/worst part of this whole thing is that the Suns picked Ayton (who they essentially benched yesterday) over Luka. There is probably a bit of regret there.
And theres no evidence ayton is worth max. Not even close
@@Str8Rippin93 but they gotta give him the bag or else it's just book and a grandpa
“They” didn’t sit him. Ayton, due to being whooped so badly by the beginning of the 3rd quarter, he himself refused to return back into the game
Ayton probably pulled a Simmons in the locker room
Ayton still recovering from that block by Giannis in the finals
Nick was spot on about the 2020 Clippers, 2022 Nets and now the 2022 Suns. SPOT ON. This should just be a Nick segment, Brou and Wildes were dead wrong, have nothing to say, just hold the Ls
I like Nick Wright, but he’s been wrong about several things as well. He’s wrong about the Bucks this year and the Chiefs last year, for example. But who really cares. It’s just an entertainment show about sports. It’s supposed to be fun with bold predictions that don’t always come true.
@@boblangford5514 - Nick is fine. Media in sports is basically opinionated journalism. It's entertaining. Most people including analysts get it wrong. Nick got it right. The fact he buckled down 0-2 is even funnier. Good stuff. But if he was always right, then I'd be betting on his picks and be rocking a billion dollars.
@@boblangford5514 what he wasn’t wrong about the bucks ? He lives giannis he literally picked him to beat the nets and get to the finals when eveyeone else picked the nets!
@@ttg8966 I was talking about the 2022 playoffs, when the Bucks lost to the Celtics. Nick said the Bucks would win that series, and they didn’t.
Luka really humbled them boys 😭😭 Talking about Theo Pinson and the Luka special 😂
Booker: "I'm doing the Luka special."
Jae Crowder in an interview before game 7: "I just got my toenails done."
Lil Wayne on Twitter: "Luka a ho."
Luka after game 5: "People love to talk trash when they up."
After game 5 it was a massacre. Suns choked at home in game 7. Cp3 played terribly after game 2. Nobody had the Mavs winning besides Nick. Props to the Mavs. Suns gotta look themselves in the mirror. They fell apart and talked so much trash only to flame out in a historic way
luka said that after game 5 when they lost
ZERO FGS IN THE FIRST HALF BETWEEN CP3 AND BOOK…IN A GAME 7 AT HOME!!!
Nick has the right to gloat. His prediction beat humongous odds. And he stood by it.
as a mavs fan who has been sounding the bell all season long for the media to pay the mavericks the attention they deserve, this feeling is unbelievable. it only took the mavs taking their time in the spotlight by FORCE and putting the whole league on notice !! MAVS IN 7 !!
Nick was spot on with his Luka-Lebron comparison with them defeating heavy favourites in Suns/Pistons... Sometimes this man is delusional but sometimes he sounds prophetic
But that's the thing, when you make 10 delusional statements, one is bound to come true and it makes him see like a genius while his other 9 delusional takes are forgotten. That said, Luka is for real. Mavs should do everything they can to provide him with a second reliable all star and the chips will come.
ya'll can hate and say whatever about Nick Wright but he's been more right than wrong when it comes to his predictions. He's been saying since the beginning of the Nets "superteam" that they would never make it pass second round despite having Irving, KD and Harden and guess what? in 4 years, their best achievement was second round. He said the Clippers would not even make it to the Western Finals to face the Lakers and would get bounced by Denver, well we all know what happened. Now he got another correct prediction about the Mavs.
Yea I’m a clipper fan, Nick be on point lol
We all have that obnoxious friend that occasionally logic is out the window when he’s emotionally invested in a team, but also makes good arguments. That’s the whole shtick with Nick. Personally I’m here for it.
They didn't have Kyrie and Harden completely though lol nets in 6 vs bucks last season if they didn't get injured last season and they probably would have won the east atleast coz well Atlanta
@@ssk58607 if it was due to injury I'd give you that. But A huge factor of Nets failing was their personalities. That's the reason they failed above all else and many predicted as such.
@@OHaaaiden I disagree though his points were always logical. He said Luka is the best player by a mile in the series and that he would be able to will his team to a win… what’s wrong with that logic? Lol we’ve seen great players do it before
"Larry Bird never went to the western conference finals, look it up!" LMAO
i need a supercut of broussard saying "I NEVER have to say this, but Nick, you were right." over and over again.
Nick deserves credit for this one. He was pretty much the only analyst that anticipated Dallas would win the series.
Porzingis wasted 2years of Luka's prime. Prove me wrong 😂😂
He hasn't even enter his prime dude...
@@garylewis3611 rite, he's just getting started dude is scary!
@@garylewis3611 I was finna say the same thing…
What prime? He hasn't entered it yet lol.
Eh, that duo looked real interesting.
Unfortunately they didn't mesh and KP struggled to stay healthy.
Still KP fits the formula of Mavs bigmen being good 3 and D players, it just didn't work with him as a 2nd star.
We need a FTF "Suns in 9" shirt with Wildes face
Seeing how the game ended last night I knew Nick would be on a high this morning. At least the guys gave Nick his cred lol K. Wilds face is priceless 😂
Unquestionably the best sports talk show, PERIOD. Whoever is in charge at Fox better back their Brinks truck up and pay those 4 because they have chemistry unlike anything else going.
Ya nick Wright is underrated AF…and can never get enough of broussards wrong takes, wildes is ehhh but he’s kinda growin on me..
Speak For Yourself is deadheat with this show for me.
Both entertaining and informative and funny.
Last on my book is all show with the Big Mouth in it.
i like all 3 shows, this one, speak for yourself and undisputed.
Nick is developing a pretty good track record of predictions. He was the first guy on the Clippers falling apart, and now with Dallas
And the Nets
@nKosi Ama Kosi you better bring more to the table than one wrong prediction here lol
@nKosi Ama Kosi yeah for awhile especially when he was hating on jokic I didn’t like him but you got to admit he’s on a win streak right now.
@nKosi Ama Kosi your comment makes no sense if Middleton was healthy the bucks win in 5 or 6 you talking like missing a 2nd option makes no difference goofy
@nKosi Ama Kosi goofy boy kris Middleton averaged 24 ppg during last season’s championship run and was the bucks 2nd option who closed out many crucial games and you have the audacity to suggest he wouldn’t make a difference.
Lol He said Antoine walker getting this too 😂😂
Dew
Kinda crazy in hindsight looking back when Phoenix chose DeAndre Ayton at #1 and no one necessarily knew what Luka would become. Ayton is still young though and a budding all star
I don't know to me it was obvious Luka should have gone #1. MVP of a far superior league than the NCAA. Playing against grown men not kids
@nKosi Ama Kosi he actually has excellent hands you don’t know basketball 🏀
@@yamchimovits9227 fair point best NCAA player vs best player in Luka's league but Luka I think exceeded expectations so far
@@mrmillennium2697 Luka has exceeded expectations but should have been picked first regardless
As a Mavs fan, I thoroughly researched the lottery pick candidates in 2018, since we had the 5th pick, and there were about 35% of the analysts who thought Luka should be No.1 but Ayton already had an NBA body, a great offensive game and an ok defensive game (ppl assume it can get better), and he went to Arizona, so PHX felt like a no-brainer lol.
There were some that thought Luka would've been selected since they hired Luka's coach and there were questions about Ayton's "want-to" motor, but there were also previous international, lottery flops, so ultimately they decided on Ayton, bc at that moment it looked like Ayton looked more NBA ready than Luka.
Has Chris seriously forgotten the Clippers vs Nuggets series in 2020? It's not the first time he's had to say "you were right" to Nick.
Nick has quickly become one of my favorite sports personalities
The chemistry this show has! Love it
“Suns in 9” 😂
Doc Rivers getting PTSD watching this game. Somebody check on that man
Nick was right about the Mavs AND Nets. I mean he hit the nail on the head.
I waited for this! Nick Wright was right!! 😂😂
Nick and Mavs fans tried to warn the rest of you!!! Luka taking over the league!!!! Nick was the only talking head to give Luka and the Mavs any respect!!! Thank you Nick!!!!
It's insane how good their chemistry is. Best sports show on TV and it isn't even close.
Nick a fool wit it! I love this show. All members contribute and the respect is beyond. 🔥
When he said you got "Suns in 9 Wildes"?😂
Luka special had been coming 27 points as suns in half time suns last time I checked they beat Lakers with AD injured and this season they were West conference favourites
Credit Lucca for everything especially that meltdown of the suns Because of his play and the confidence that was more contagious than Covid that spread to his teammates
Love him or hate him, you gotta admit a smug "I told you so" Nick is very entertaining 🤣
“Larry never made it to a Western conference finals…look it up.” I love Nick lmfaooo
Wildes be blinking every two seconds
Waited ALL DAY for this 🤣🤣🤣
Luka won my respect for annihilating the Flameout Phoenix, Lip-Service Suns in the fashion that he did. My perception of him was skewed a bit for reasons that I can’t explain, but watching that performance & his postgame-interview won me over. Luka Magic is a killer.
My favorite panel. Always educational and fun!
Nick was singing all morning waiting for this segment-LMAO!
nah that Theo Suit line by Nick was the best line i’ve heard from this show
Chris Broussards face when nick wright said about the mavs making the finals 🤣
I love nicks energy😭😭 he is my spirit animal😭
Kevin Wildes looks like he aged even more during the series than Chris Paul did
Props to nick on this one no one saw it coming but he did predict the bucks to win and no one is going to talk about it and he will make up excuses for that series.
Every prediction doesn't get right. But he is right most of the time
He didn’t make excuses for the bucks prediction being wrong, he admitted to being wrong about that
Middleton out. He should've changed his mind.
Usually Nick is awfully wrong about types of things but recently he has been on the money He stuck with the Mavs the whole way through this series and predicted they would win back to back at home. Credit to Nick wright
Usually? You need to start watching this show some more.
lmao Broussard is usually wrong
I mean also stuck with the Bucs the whole time so it depends lol
I remember having a debate on a First Things First video a couple weeks ago where the OP said that Nick Wright has been right more than any other sports analyst on TV. A lot of ppl (Bron haters and by extension Nick haters) went absolutely crazy and said that the OP was crazy. Some of us, who actually watch basketball and these shows all of the time, came to the OP's defense and said that he was right. Nick is right more often than ANY OTHER SPORTS ANALYST ON AMERICAN TELEVISION.
Who wants to argue the point now? 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
✌🏽🤡
Facts. Nick has been right a lot. WE called the Clippers, Nets, and now PHX. The people who hate Lebron dont follow hoops
Their faces when Nick was speaking got me dyin 😂😂😂
This is becoming my favorite sports talk show. This crews chemistry is legit!
Broussard: “Nick, I’m gonna say something I’ve never said before. Nick, you were right.” He said the exact same thing 2 years ago when the Clippers choked away their 3-1 lead. 😂🤣😂
I already knew that today Nick would stick in the air and cast powers!!
Wipe of that smirk Broussard
As a Suns fan, last night was just embarrassing.
Jennas "Give it time", on the D Book take was glorious
I hope Nick is right and Luka makes the finals. Can’t stand front running Steph, dude disappears every major game and starts show boating when Klay gets a big lead. Just saying lol
Except none of that is true. Steps score 11 points in the fourth quarter of game 6 and they were all crucial except maybe the last three as the game was close. that's just one example of the most recent. Also the fourth Quarter of game four versus the grizzlies. He scored 18 points and got them a lead they never had before. Also in game one of that series he got a key block on JA Morant at the very end of the game that let them keep the lead
So those are just three of the last six games one could go on or one could simply admit that you were wrong
Nick bringing all the smoke.
Nick’s little “Bird never made it to the Western Conference Finals” 😂
I just LOVE Nick!! The show had to start with the Suns-Mavs, are you kidding?! I couldn't wait to watch Nick gloat about it! :)
Luka is the best player in the nba
I am from Italy, Nick just a mistake it is not Ac Milan is Olimpia milan ( AC Milán is the football club)
I am very surprised how these guys laugh at him when he said so ( obviously they never watch an euro game )
EuroLeague basket is very competitive top level is very good and Luka has been dominating since he was 17yo
Plus the environment in Europe is much much tougher than USA , play in Greece for example is crazy...
Luka is the most complete basketball player right now and it is a joy watching him play !
NICK WRIGHT + PAT BEV = Happy Monday :)
Stugotz too
As much as Nick can drive me nuts, I gotta give him credit on this one and this segment was genuinely fun.
Chris us still stunned abut his nets
I died when Nick told Wildes “Suns in 9” LMAOOOO
Nick been riding with his large adult Slovenian son even when they were down 0:2
Nick to the finals nd win it all!its LUKA MAGIC💪💪💪
Chris is spot on!
this segment was so funny i had to download it!!
Loved Nicks use of fugazi. I just rewatched Donnie Brasco the other day.
I’ve been waiting for this segment all week long baby !!!
Chris Broussard: I'm gonna say something that I've never said since I started doing this show "Nick you we're right"
2019 Clippers: Whew, everyone forgot about us blowing a 3-1 lead.
I actually like Nick when he's not talking about Bron
This guy Nick is hilarious and extremely accurate. I think that is why KD attacks him on twitter. Good job Nick
He is accurate with Laker and Buck
That Theo Pinson take by Nick...OMFG xD
3:24 “inject it right in my veins” Nick 😅
Lesson learned everybody, be Humble.. Be humble..
Wilde Crisp Broatisserie!!!
Nick called it against the Flippers before..so when I heard he said these...I had a belief it's a dejavu..and it was
King Lukas king Tatum and now king Nick wright are all smiles and the winners of games and predictions
Always watching this segment, only Nick got it Right! MAVS All IN
Nick totally called this !!!!
This was the best! So happy for Nick being right lmao
Yesterday I couldn’t wait to hear Nick go off hahaha
Bro if you haven’t been watching all the shows before this then you wouldn’t be laughing as hard I am watching nick talk 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Its so crazy to me how one guy can be soooo wrong about one thing (Nikola Jokic) and soooo right about another (Luka Doncic). To me, it is beyond obvious that both players are easily top 5 players in the NBA. I also think you could make legitimate arguments for either one being the best period. Stylistically they are pretty different players, but ultimately they both bring an immense amount of value.
I guess its just because Luka looks like a more traditional/prototypical superstar while Jokic does it in a way that we've never seen before.
Luka 🏆✌️
Viva LUka 💙💙💙💙💙🇮🇹🇸🇮🇪🇸
Nick's the best. my favorite
Everyone gotta start respecting nick more, extremely underrated analyst
1:39 AC Milan, the Duke University of Italy!
Nick Wright being more right. He was right as well with the 2020 finals
