I remember when they had Brandon Marshall on here interrupting everyone and they were bringing brou on practically every show and thinking they should just replace brou and b marsh (no disrespect he was just way too aggressive for this talk show ). then that day happened and I thought wow what a power move and since then this show has taken off!! Such a great team that compliment each other so well, thank you for everything you do from Nick wright, wildes and brou to dusty, Josh and the guy behind the camera who randomly laughs every once in a while. Thank you to the whole team, I know I’m not alone when I say this show is my favorite show by far. I’m grateful for the daily laughs and stares from random people when I have first things first playing in my headphone as I laugh to myself maniacally on walks with my dog. Thanks first things first team
ya Brandon Marshall shouldn't be on TV.
I liked Jenna. She kept the boys in check. Wildes has risen to the occasion tho.
These 3 + Greg Jennings as a guest for NFL segments is the best lineup. All due respect to Coach Mangini
💯💯💯
Could not have put this any better
Can we get Wildes a smoking jacket for Gentleman's sweeps?
haha people come for nick and brou but once they get it they stay for wildes
Brou calling out the Bron inclusion is hilarious, exactly what everybody was thinking

“Oh wow look at Westbrook” Bru a menace 😂
Then at the end with the Heat "They need to get better players"
Wildes super sarcastic: "Oh!"
for those who don’t know, this was a test to see how much the asian accounts would upload prior to FTF uploading. plus, the algorithm would pick up the asian videos BEFORE the main channel’s videos. this accumulates more viewership
Competing against playoffs I doubt it
For those who don't speculate you mean?
what kinda test is that
I don't get it.
figured why the uploads were held back. FTF crew really is trying their best out here
Luka is SPECIAL
As special as Hoang B though?
😂😂💯@@BTx933
And Westbrook is becoming Speshalᴵᴰᴰ
That “top 6” list sums up Nick Wright
6 hour wait for this post 🤬. Thank G for Hoang Bi
Wildes just fished running a practice marathon before he realized he forgot to upload
Its gonna be hilarious when they get blocked too 🤡🤣🤣

STOP DRY SNITCHING
@@armankarimaghaei4269😂 as if its a secret
The Mavericks Bench is yelling at russel saying SHOOOOT LMAO this isn’t a joke either 😂
Luka will probably be the greatest Maverick in history. Dirk will probably be the most loved always.
Different players are loved at different times. In 10 years if Luka is still around he will probably take it. But Dirk is still fresh so he's still the king atm
@@xJayhawkFANxyeah it’s still dirk right now. Luka hasn’t brought them a ring.
Depends how many rings he wins.
If he manages to win multiple rings he may Pip Dirk in terms of love but maybe not.
If they win a chip in the next 2 years hes already past Dirk.
Was Dirk ever out of shape consistently to start the season? Isn't the league more offensive scoring now? I respect Luka but Dirk is way ahead as best maverick.
"Dallas's strategy is let Russ cook" 😭
Wildes' Gentleman Sweep segment. Love it.
Nick looks exactly like Tom Green and sounds a lot like him too.
😂 I thought I was the only one who noticed it...they both share the same logic too.
Omg, now I can't unsee it!
Who would've thought that a one of a kind ex floor general could get Kyrie and Luka to buy into his game plan. Jason Kidd needs to get more kudos for how well he's coaching this duo.
U ain’t a mavs fan I would guess. Watching them all season, it ain’t Kidd. Kidd trash. Kyrie’s leadership has been amazing and Luka’s ain’t bad, they play well despite the coach, not because of him
Kidd is an awful coach. Kudos to Luka and Kyrie for making it work in spite of him.
Can only agree with those 2 guys... Kidds rotations and decisions throughout the season were questionable to say the least... I feel like with a better coach they could have pushed for a top 3 seed in the west
Need to make sure you understand that Kidd is not an elite or even good coach. He has time management issues and rotation issues. He was an elite PG in his time but as a coach he is below average
The hate on Kidd is a bit crazy. Sure he’s not the best coach, but he learns from his mistakes even if it takes a while. He adjusted against the suns in the WCSF and now he’s adjusted against the clippers right now after what happened last game
If Luka isn't top 10 all time it'll be a massive disappointment.
Nick's loves to play the stats shell game. "If you disregard this stat and disregard that stat".
Jokic is 7th in playoff scoring , of course Nick cut it off to include Lebron and not jokic lol
I'm confused. So Nick is saying Luka is approaching legendary status but hasn't gone to a Finals yet, but before Jokic won the championship last year he wasn't close to legendary status.
This man is a walking contradiction. He capes for his favorites and holds others to insane standards.
You must be new to sports media.
@@xJayhawkFANxdon’t gotta be new or old to it to know he moves the goal post often for players he likes in every sport.
It's because Luka starts really good from his rookie year till now. His only getting better. Jokic didn't win Roy and he takes time till he become a legit superstar while Luka since his rookie season until now made it in all Star everytime and also 1st all-NBA team. After his rookie season he carried the Mavs to the playoffs until now averaging 32/8/9. Who does that's since his rookie season? The only one I can think of is MJ and LeBron since their rookie season they are beast. Just like Luka
Jokic also didn't have this kind of start to his career either. Luka came in and was immediately that guy, jokic had to grow into it for a few years before he got to that point
Yku are upset over one guy's opinion. Let it go, let it goooo.
i love this show man, you guys make sports so enjoyable to listen to
"I didn't know who top 6 was" yea Nick, but your boss at Klutch does
his list was wrong anyway. anthony edwards is 6th at 28.9 ppg

This is the best show on American television.
I love competitive series but I will crave more of Wildes 's Gentlemen Sweeps segments. This is an awesome bit.

Nick sleeping on the Thunder a bit.
nah they gettin swept by the mavs. too young bad coach

Nick has been called out on manufacturing takes he doesn’t believe in by Wildes and Brou this week and I’ve loved every second of it
Wildes and brou aren't consistent. You may not agree with nick but he is more consistent than both of them put together.
@@obiwanyutuben Wildes routinely gives a take and contradicts it less than 36 hours later lol
@kghd2647 exactly. He's been getting a bit too spicy lately. Feeling himself too much.
@@obiwanyutuben lol, he’s consistently wrong about anyone not named Patrick Mahomes
@Barkruffalo35 it's his job to make the difficult takes. Literally. They all compliment each other well. I just don't think wildes getting angry when he learned everything about sports on this show works.
"I get my energy from shooting" da baked russ ah 😂😂😂
That gentlemans sweep segment was too short!!
This show is so underrated
The way Wildes says "do you have one?" Is gold 15:54
Best show late upload
Not mad at it this time lol I slept early and woke up at 3am
Tatum stepping into his role and getting boards was huge for the Celtics. Porzingis allowed Tatum to score and draw defenders. Without Porzingis Tatum had to step up and he did. Porzingis changed the way the Celtics played their game. To lose Porzingis in a playoff series and keep winning is really a testament to the teams' resilience, drive, and talent.
I need this show for my mental health
At 25 luka is putting a lot of legends in his rear view mirror
Wildes talking down on the Heat was unnecessary. they didn't have Jimmy or Rozier. as soon as Jimmy got hurt before the playoffs the series was over. Boston shouldn't be celebrating a free win. the entire East is so free for the Celtics it has to be the easiest path to the Finals in NBA history.
Clippers crazy putting Westbrick on their roster.
dUDE IS An EMBARASSMENT to competitive sports in General~
A bit of a late post, innit?
May I just say, Brou’s concentration to be able to finish his thought with Nick just constantly trying to cut him off with “but” “well here’s the thing” “yeah but”, is just unreal. I’d have lost my thought like three times over 😅
They still haven’t figured out the Dallas defense has been elite since February. A few more superstars will probably have to exit the playoffs before they finally get it.
If the mavericks win the title it will be because of their defense. And when it’s all over and people can see the complete body of work from this team, they will kick themselves for not seeing it early on.
These three are great
Calm down on heat culture??? One playoff run where they are without Jimmy and rozier??? Wilds act like Boston has won a championship 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
He showed his heart and desire in this game.
OKC Dallas will be such an amazing series. It's the western equivalent of a subway series with cities in driving distance. 2 mvp candidates Doncic and SGA. 2 star rookies Holmgren and Lively. I can't wait.
Ill still watch it. Its still the best show. But whats up with the inconsistent time frame for uploads?
Hoang Bi got me with this hours ago, step it up buddy💯💯
Just watch both. You get an early fix and both channels get the views. We need FTF to do well on all platforms so the show becomes untouchable.
stop snitching bro
Yeah an he be havin 39 comments to FTF hundreds
And they will probably be banned/blocked just like the last one sooner rather than later🤡🤣🤣
@@matthewm3869 hows it snitching it's public lmao
I had no idea that Luka is ONLY 25 years old !!!! Why did I think he was 30 something...
Yeah bro, he’s just getting started
U a casual that‘s why. Nothing wrong with that though
@@Jottzumoh in fact more than a casual, I do not watch any in season games at all. Cannot name a single player on about 27 teams. I am barely a fan.
@@ros73dros good, now be a good little casual and never comment on basketball ever again.

I hope people know this is better than First Take
“i got a vape” sent me😂😂
The best shown there ever has been!!
Nick definitely smokes 😂😂😂 that mayne wild
Harden is the Dolphins, A BREAKDANCER
Wildes is killing with the Gentlemen sweep bit...they should have played the piano and let it go for an extra bit
Harden still one of my favorite regular season players. I just think he takes bribes in the playoffs
Wildes said C’s would win the next 3 after the loss. Go C’s 🎉Gentlemen’s sweep segment was great
Cavs Magic gotta be one of the most irrelevant playoff series in NBA history
Luka is the best player ever right now.
Bru says his numbers will come down as he plays more. Umm check his regular and playoff averages year over year since the start of the career, they're actually going up.
He means as he gets older and more talent on his team.
The Dallas Mavs will be the 2024 NBA Champions.
They couldn’t wait to hate on Harden 🤦🏾♂️
Late af
Wilde's saying what I've been saying.
"Jimmy was hurt in the play-in. Boston has an easy ride to the ECF".
Congratulations to the heat fans. You've discovered how playoff seeding works. Turns out, the 1 seed have a easier path than the 9th seed. You know the easiest way for Jimmy to not get hurt in the play-in?
Don't be in the play-in. 🤷🏾♂️
Congratulations. 👏🏾
Good lord.
Josh is really freestyling lmao. Nick is an honestly funny dude.
Its hardly controversial to say Luka should make the top 10 if he stays healthy and wins titles. Seems kind of obvious honestly if that happens
already watched backup channels for today, post faster and full episode plz. ftf is a must
I still don't understand why so many people hold Ty Lue in such high regard. Sure, he puts a lot of emphasis on mismatches, but apart from that, I don't see the added value he brings.
Also, Wildes forgets that the Heat played without Butler against a fully stacked Boston team. Winning that one game was quite a feat.
Everyone saying they’ve seen this already on other channels aren’t true fans cuz if you were you’d either watch both or watch this channel alone knowing they need stats in order to continue their success may not seem like it but that sort of stuff adds up
they literally get paid from television. youtube is just extra money im assuming the company keeps and maybe splits with them?
@@cheerioss-9121 i know they don’t get paid through this but stats are stats the better the social medias do the better they look
If the Mavs keep playing defense like they have been in this series and can get a little more healthy (Luka’s knee improves, hardaway comes back), I think they will win the chip.
There not good enough to get by Denver or Minnesota and boston.
I wish they would put time stamps in their videos when each of them talk so I could skip the NW portions.
wildes spot on about the heat
I mean Luka overall didn’t have a great series offensively but his defense was pretty much spot on which is weird to say about him. But if he cranks up his offensive efficiency from last series while also keeping up with his defense. The thunder are gonna have problems then they bargained for.
As a Heat fan , giving them this credit & high praise when half our team was hurt is crazy. They shouldve swept us lol
Irving is playing in a way sometimes, that you get shocked. He is like a wizard truly. Rang of Jordan, Kobe, Kawhi.
u been under rock? lol...been doing it since st Patrick's high but was drafted in 2011...since u new to him, check out his highlights on RUclips...u will LOVE em!!
such an odd upload time 💀
Just hire Hoang Bi I’m sure it wouldn’t cost
Much
What was the criteria to be on that PPG list, Ant is averaging like 29 PPG
Anthony Edwards’s averaging 28.9 !
I've had the pleasure of having been able to watch MJ and Kobe both play and i said it when i first saw him play.... Luka will surpass MJ... he's that good, and he'll be one of the all time greats to ever play the game....
Hey Ty can I get some easy ones is wild 😂
Deep down, we all knew Nick vaped
In fairness to Harden, he wasn’t supposed to be the #1 or #2 option on the team. He’s supposed to be the #3 option/playmaker. Brou is spot on. They would’ve been able to survive nights when he struggles if kawhi was there. Not sure how Harden is getting more blame than Kawhi and PG.
2:40 “I say Shohei Ohtani is the best baseball player ever. But he’s not the G.O.A.T.”
Is the most contradictory statement I’ve ever heard in sports reporting
I hate how in Basketball a gentlemen's sweep is any 5 game series! In the NHL and most leagues it means you go up 3-0 then give the other team a game knowing they have no chance to come back from 3-0. It also usually doubles as a homecourt win if it's a higher seeded team!
Right, what the Nuggets did was a gentlemen's sweep. The Celtics just won in 5.
Not one team in the history of sports has let a team win one game in order to preserve their opponent’s dignity. The idea is absurd.
I feel like James Harden made a deal with the Devil but didn’t read the fine print
Crazy how easy the path is to the finals for Celtics. Magic Knicks pacers or Cleveland? Cmon now Denver vs Celtics is a lock.
The Mavs are playing well, but they'll find out OKC isn't an old team on old legs, they've got no pressure, and I think SGA and company will be a handful for anyone.
1:10 Nick Wright absolutely knew Lebron had to be on the list
🔥🔥🔥
Lmao pg always getting away with no blame 😂😂
As phenomenal as Luka is, cracking the top 3 greatest offensive players list is a tough task. Between MJ, Kobe and Wilt I’m not sure who you’re knocking off for Luka.
We can revisit this in another 10+ years and maybe he’s clearly on there but man, that’s a tough top 3.
Jokic is probably the greatest offensive player ever. Him, Mike, and Lebron.
Joker is a better offensive player than Kobe. The combination of efficiency and assists is more valuable than high volume scoring.
lol Kobe 😂
Tell me Wildes didn't just say that Harden should ask for a play to be drawn for him to shoot ... (checks notes) ... a midrange shot? lmao
As of right now all Wildes brash trash talking on the Wolves is looking pretty bad😂😂
I need to talk to Dusty and see what's going on with this
How are these guys criticizing Harden for carrying this round when everyone said he’s the 3rd or 4th option come the start of the series ?
Lmao u see how they tried to put the other two games they lost with the recent lost to make it look like he was bad in them other two loses 😂😂😂 the media man PG ONCE AGAIN GETS NO BLAME FOR GETTING CARRIED 4 games str by harden
@@dequanadams8107 it’s crazy and yeah I get it, I’ve seen Harden come short time after time since leaving Houston and even then but nah these analytics wild fam. PG low key ain’t never carried and nah cause if it’s not Kawhis fault which cause mans always injured, now it’s Harden tfk. Harden is finna get so much slander in this series even when these “experts” never expected nothing from him and even tho he’s been the best clipper
Kyrie has done this since Brooklyn lol. Gianni’s hurt his ankle and he was going crazy. In Brooklyn he went 54/40/90 averaging 28 lol
Late upload
When I was at the celtics clippers game the crowd was chanting westbrick all game dude was super off.
He nearly started a fight in the hallway at Cryto with a fan who said the same thing.
A rich man once told me "Pros are at their best regardless"
How do you pick up players with proven mediocre performance and expect to do well. Russ and Harden have been who they are for a long time, to expect different is the definition of insanity.
Sup Nick!
