this is the earliest they’ve posted 😂 based on a CERTAIN channel’s influence…
Do people read these comments and laugh every single time? Trying to understand why the top comment is always the same.

Unfunny weirdos
Kyrie is ONE OF ONE
Wildes telling Nick to take it up with Klutch is CRAZY
It’s true. Nick is represented by Klutch
I mean Nick is basically on their payroll so
Nick Is An Unofficial Klutch Spokesman.
@@1rotimiWho is Chris signed to? How about Wildes? You guys only care when it’s Klutch.
@@silvergold2140Yes he is. Chris is a spokesman for what agency?
They're mentioned all time gifted greats and not a mention of Wilt. The man was gifted beyond belief and there will never be another one like him.
If he wasn't playing against plumbers, he was subpar against the leagues top talent in that time span
@@Papaxan11 Wilt was subpar? With his stats?
FACT
@mikeottersole def not with his stats. The man was above everyone but the leagues best is all I'm saying
@mikeottersole and, to not get confused, he was on of the best for sure, but it didn't exactly amount to a ridiculous career given the time
The way Nick talked about Magic's passing is how people look at Kyries entire game
Great take
Literally bro. Kyrie one of the coldest ive ever seen
And those people are insane
Saying defense isn't a skill is crackhead crazy
You say that but show me a top 15 "most skilled players in NBA history" list with Rudy gobert, draymond green, Dennis Rodman, and marcus smart... Come on man... Yes defense requires skill but it's more instinct, effort and athleticism than something like dribbling or shooting... That's all they're brou is saying....
@amac9044 Bill Russell, Kobe, Jordan, LeBron, Duncan, Isiah Thomas, Larry Bird, Scottie Pippen, Kevin Garnett, Giannis, Dream, and even Shaq were all deadly defenders at varied points of their career ... footwork, stamina, understanding opponent habits, situational defense (go for the steal/block or just stay in front of the opponent), and athleticism (speed, strength, power, quickness) -- defense might be the most exhausting part of the game ... that's why physical freaks like A.I. could lead the league in steals by attacking bad passing lanes but were never consistent defensive threats.
One of the worst basketball takes Brou has ever had.
It’s a skill but it’s not crazy to say it isn’t compared scoring especially when Jokic can win a mvp over Giannis.
@@amac9044
You listed defensive specialists who don’t do much on the other end. Ofc they wouldn’t be on an overall most skilled players list.
@@Frostshokulalmao that was wild
Brou: “Kyrie’s handle is a skill. He worked hard for it”
also Brou: “I don’t count defense as a skill. It’s putting in hard work”
Make it make sense.
Lol 😂
Not saying Brou is correct, but he means this.
Being skilled comes from hard working in training, learning new tricks, increasing "the bag".
Defense comes from "effort", hard work during the games, it doesn't take so much learning.
I think people are born with talent. Some people work on that talent and it becomes a skill. Then theres a small group of people who are so skilled at something its acknowledged as a gift. I think LeBron is as hardworking of an athlete as we've ever seen. He can shoot a 1000 jumpers a day, he'll never be Steph, Klay or Ray Allen. The way people feel about Steph's ability to shoot is the way I feel about Kyrie handles and ability to finish at the rim. I think Kyrie and Steph are gifted.
Defense is effort. There are super athletic people who aren't good defensively. There are great defenders who weren't super athletic. A good coach could teach a kid to become Jrue Holiday. Its all about want to. Ive seen Carmelo Anthony lock in randomly on defense and give people problems and he was considered "not good" defensively.
Thank you wilds these boys crazy
Just cuz he works at it he's not gifted? I know gifts that aren't put to work do not get talked about as much.
I gotta admit… Wildes has been speaking facts during this basketball hiatus. I can see Brou and Nick’s brains going “hmmmmm… that’s a good question.”
I love the idea that Lebron has no involvement in hiring his buddy and business partner as coach 😂 do they think we are slow???
It’s like their upset because every NBA player has the same opinion when it comes to Kyrie lol
Man, on slow news days, you guys should play behind the scenes FTF content. I would much rather see that than a twenty minute segment on the difference between "skilled" and "gifted." 😊
Handles can be gifted too I never worked on mine and my handles been crazy since I was about 8
Ever since kyrie asked for that trade from lebron nick been hatin on him 😴 😅😅😅😅
That intro 😂😂 I love this show so much
I think the simple answer is ‘talent’.
Pistol Pete should be in this discussion
He is in that convo most definitely!!!
No 😂
Kyrie
Kobe
MJ
Isiah Thomas
Penny Hardaway
KD
Steph Curry
There's a debate and Kyrie is definitely in it
Wemby and Shaq are the most gifted players ever.
Best trio on air
Recency bias.
Keep disrespecting Iverson
Iverson = no left hand
this is so untrue bruh
Wasn't a great 3 shooter
Old school bias. I loved iverson but he carried the ball a lot and his crossovers were pretty simple if you look back. You rarely ever saw him dribble behind his back
Kyrie's next level ability to see the game move slowly, and therefore adjust - whether it's for a crazy finish, or breaking down his defender...that is definitely a gift. He has demonstrated this since even before his college days. But he is obviously also one of the most skilled ever. The combination of both talent and skill is what makes kyrie elite, even among the elite. And now add experience and maturity
LeFRAUD hurt his own goat argument lmao
The most gifted player in my life time was Barkley.. 6'4 and grabbing darn near 15 boards a game as a PF
“I’ve said before that the only chance the Lakers have to win the title is if they get Kyrie”….. “Lebron is too good to be publicly pushing for Kyrie”. Incredible display of hypocrisy within a couple of minutes.
There's a certain understanding amongst hoopers when people talk about "most skilled", "deepest bag", "pure hoopers". Its almost impossible to explain to people who dont hoop. Its might as well be a different language. Guys like Kobe, KD, Kyrie,PG, Melo, tmac, jordan will always be praised in these kinds of convos. Doesnt mean they are all on a GOAT list, but they are common names you'll hear from literally every hooper NBA level down to the local park. I understand why Bron said what he said, but im not surprised Nick Wright doesnt
Haven't seen the Kyrie package in NBA history? I mean put Jamaal Crawford, Rod Strickland, A.I. and Jason Williams together and you get Kyrie. That's just off top of my head.
I have to disagree with Brew, defense is a skill, it takes timing and patience and anticipation which you have to work on
The most gifted player has a mother that was a professional basketball player and coach, a father who was a Olympic track and field athlete, and a grandfather who was 7'7".
Victor Wembanyama is the most gifted.
Lebron is such a nice guy. Even after Kyrie left him, dogged him...Lebron never said anything bad about him. Now he gave him another compliment.
Oh wow.. didn’t see this coming for JJ and Lebron.. Kyrie is doing well and now everyone has nice things to say about him.. wow, didn’t see that coming either
I don’t remember Lebron saying anything bad about him, he even wanted him in LA 💀
Don't remember Bron talking smack about Kyrie.
Lebron woulda traded everyone but AD for Kyrie last year what do you mean 😂
@@khojomorrison5493he literally said kyrie was wrong when the media was bashing him every minute they had. He could have bagged him. Stop the bs
A post full of people who don’t read well.. Did I say “Lebron is saying nice things” or did I say “everyone” ? Lol I know it’s hard, but can you guys get Lebron off your mind for just one second. I know he’s your king but it’s okay to have a convo without including him. Lol
Does anyone remember d rose? Probably more gifted then anyone ever. Gotta mention him.
Lebron is gifted with his size speed and strength . Kyrie is offensively skilled
Magic was such a great passer that John Stockton is number 1 in assists
Magic assists per game is 11.19. Stockton is 10.5. Total assists are misleading because of the extra games played.
Tony Allen is somehwere crying hearing defense is not a skill
Michael Jordan is both the most skilled and the most gifted player in NBA history.
Personally i believe theres a little bit of skill to defense when it comes to proper technique that would be a skill but only to a extent
LeBron saying he's mad about not being his running mate confirms he was kyrie's robin
Nick always seem to hate on Kyrie no matter what.
Most skilled EVER IS KOBE BEAN BRYANT. RESPECT THE DEAD.
Nope. Wasn't as skilled as the guy he was a ripoff of even.
@@Ajr5691 this comment lets me know you're a casual at best, who regurgitates the talking points of mainstream media. Kobe ACTUALLY learned from most if not all the previous greats of the game not just ONE PLAYER 🤦. Reggie, Bird, West, Magic, Payton, Hakeem, MJ, Barkley, Pippin just to name a few. He then sharpened and mastered those abilities unlike most and a small select few in NBA history. He was the perfect combination of them all. Go back to listening to ESPN, FS one and Leblaco book lickers you're not needed or wanted in my comment. Go learn something child.
No matter what LeBron James says it's become a debate on every TV show
Actually Rod Strictland has been doing some of what Kyrie is doing
He couldnt shoot like KY though from mid or 3..
Steve Kerr was gifted a 3 player HOF core
Kyrie plays like a Rod Strickland 2.0
It's not a crime to envy playing longer with kyrie Brou 😕
I'd be nice to hear a show really spend some time elucidating what makes a good head coach
He's the most gifted, and skilled
I don’t know if he’s the most skilled either. Paul George can handle, score at all levels, AND defends too. Nick named a bunch of guys as well I’d argue are more skilled if not as skilled.
All those players cannot use their left hands on a high level like kyrie so that disqualifies them. Only people in the conversation is Kobe and Kyrie
Them handles kyrie got is gifted & being able to use his left & right hand
This means LeFraud wanted Kyrie again, not Russell Westbrook. (And I love Russell Westbrook)
How is Kyrie the most skilled and doesn’t play defense. This is such a sorry take
lmaoooo LOCKED INNN! 😂😂🗣️🗣️💯‼️
Nick hates Kyrie 🤣 😂
wtf Michael Jordan is the most gifted. 48inch vertical. That’s gifted. A small 6.2 guard the most gifted, who can’t dunk over 7 footers? The most gifted ever? What a joke.
sport shows have been working hard to find something to talk about.
This dude got a lot of hate on the low for Kyrie. Don’t assume anything, LeBron said what he meant and he meant what he said!
ppl forget that a lot of these players worked for their athletic abilities but some people do have a natural feel for the game that others dont have, kyrie did work for his handles but he has an unreal feel for the court, almost like a natural 6th sense that is a 'gift' from the basketball gods
So im gonna say it these debates are a joke until defense has a stake in it . 🤝🏾
Most gifted hard to argue against Wemby
lebron tried to trade kyrie when he was with the cavs
Kyrie is more skilled than Steph. Kyrie has a better midrange, post game, footwork, layup package, and better utilizing his left and right hand. Steph has pretty good handles and is a better 3 point shooter but relies on dancing around 2-3 screens to get open most of the time
CB these days just talking nonsense for shock value.
Kyrie is gifted. IDK WTH Nick talkin about 😅
Wildes is my favorite
Nope Nick. Westbrook was available and his reputation was still good when that deal occurred. The Kyrie idea was ripped by everyone including you. The Lakers getting rid of the defensive role players were the real mistake and we have no idea what LeBron's position on that was. I just helped you Nick.
Kyrie is not even the most skilled, these players need to STOP IT! These dudes have lost their minds!
Kyrie was snubbed/is not on the NBA top 75 list…funny how all these commentators are back after trashing Kyrie for the past 5 years
I love Chris Broussard. But I have to respectfully disagree…. Kyries ball 🏀 handles are a “Gifted” trait….
Nick get back to ripping Pelinka. Never stop until he wins in a normal season.
I LOVE THIS SHOW
Stop it. Kobe Bryant was the most skilled player of all time. Undisputed
Dictionary.
Gifted - having exceptional talent
Skill - the ability to do something well.
LeBron regrets not passing to Kyrie more in Cleveland
Nick its not that complicated brother lol
Most skilled is Curry and Kyrie. Easy peasy
Kyrie the most skilled ever...KD the most gifted in my opinion
See what happen when you go this long between conference finals to the Finals. If it was any longer, Bronny will be the number 1 prospect in the Draft.
Defense isn’t a skill??????????? Wtf
Nick gotta downplay Kyrie because for the “Lebron is the greatest” narrative to work, Kyrie can’t be too good because that would mean Lebron “had help.”
Nate Robinson for small players
I think the Lakers did what LeBron wanted UNTIL the Westbrook thing blew up, and since then they've said no more
Defense isn’t a skill? What an idiotic statement
Maybe you can say kyrie is the most creative.
thats right, GIFTED players are guys like Shaq, Giannis, Kawhi, Magic - physical freaks
Kobe or Jordan are most skilled. End of debate
Theres nothing as gifted , its all work ethic and dedication ( excluding height)
All of it can be improved upon, but everyone has a fastest possible speed they could ever reach. For me, it might be a 4.7 40 yard dash. For Xavier Worthy, it's 4.21. The best vertical I ever had was 37". No matter how much training I put in, I never would have reached the 48" that Jordan hit. That's the difference in terms of being gifted. No matter how much work I put in, I never could have been stronger than Shaq or Wilt.
Kobe on record claiming he patterned his game after fear #33…aka Pip
It's June 5th, the Lakers have been sent to Cancun long ago. Yet every sports show is doing pieces about LeBron as if he's at all relevant the day we start the finals series. One thing's for sure, LeBron the all-time "King of Turnovers" is also the king of Hype.
Pound 4 pound allen iverson is the most skilled and derek rose gifted
I didn’t like when Wildes did Chris’s bit
I LOVED IT 😂😂
You actually got me lmaoo
Got us with Broussard’s bit
This comment needs to be on the show 😂😂
Lol good one
😂😂😂😂😂
Brou saying defense isn't a skill is a ludicrous statement. There's a skill to defending and it's no just effort. Effort is required in offense as well.
Reading player movements, recalling specific player tactics, knowing what to do if you get the ball, etc etc. Bru tripping lol
Not to the extent of shot creating, ball handling, shooting then play making. A prime James Harden would be considered far more skilled then Dennis Rodman. Rodman is considered top 5 in defense and rebounding all time and below average offensive player and Harden probably not considered a top 10 offensive player of all time.
It’s way more effort than skill
Brou misspoke, but he's right that offense is far more complex than defense. If it was the same level, then all time great defenders would completely stop all time great offensive players. But that isn't true is it?
@@jefeseason4990 You played basketball? Try stripping down a player in middle of dribble or blocking someones shot when they know you are trying to do it.
Wildes intro already got me hooked 😂😂
That wasnt a good opener by Wildes
IT WAS A GREAT JOKE
😂😂😂
This was a marvellous comment 😭
Saying defense is not a skill is mind boggling. Strength and athleticism helps both on offense and defense. It's not a defense "thing".
He said it so it could fit his narrative
It’s a talent not a skill
It's half skill half physically gifted to be a great defensive player. It's all skill when it comes to shot creating, ball handling, shooting the ball and play making. Steph Curry is actually a very good technical defender. He is a very willing defender but his lack of gifted physical attributes that holds him back from being a great defender.
@@704jizzle2it’s not. Defense is effort
Defense is coaching, clarity, study, adapting with the gifts you have.
I like Nick's rant on hot takes leading up to the finals and the crazy extremes. This is the time of year we get people like Kendrick Perkins telling us DeAndre Ayton is better than David Robinson.
😂😂😂
Is that actually a take he had???
Part of why Perkins is a bum can’t stand him.
That was a very funny rant lmao
I like Nick but this is the same guy that ranked Caleb Williams in his top 5 QBs over reigning MVP Lamar Jackson
okay we’re posting EARLY EARLY
Nah bro! Hoang Bi video been up for an hour
Some of y’all need jobs if can sit and wait on video drops 😂
@@therealjayz8036they go up a day before it’s on camera 👀
@randomupdates4013 I got a job and I still be waiting. I listen while I work
@@richierich4330 true, some people don’t have fast pace jobs I guess
When Bron says Kyrie being gifted he's speaking on his body control, his ankles and how he can stop on a dime and change direction effortlessly without ever being outta control. He's talking about his balance and his ability to hang in the air... yes a lot of guys are physically gifted like Mike, LeBron, Wilt, KD, and Wemby but trust me I say this all the time, God truly blessed Kyrie with a remarkable talent
thank you
Slow news day that we're getting a fifteen minute segment over the definition of a word
Yea it's crazy🤷🏿♂️
better than anything undisputed has come out with this year lmfao
