FIRST THING FIRST | Nick Wright reacts to Magic Johnson takes a big shot at LeBron, KD and Steph 
Игры
Magic played in 11 Conf Finals, 9 Finals. His standard is different
I love all of those guys but this is good for the NBA. The key is for the media to cover these young guys and prop them up. It hurts that these young guys play in small markets but the media owes it to the fans to feature these teams more and not just talk about the guys that are over the hill
Lakers beat an injured Memphis team & an exhausted Warrior team last year, then got swept
blah blah blah
Who did denver beat lol lets be realistic. They played the oveerrated heat in the finals. Was the least competitive finals ive ever seen
You play whoever is in front of you. Did they injure the grizzlies?
@@tyrellleach1846 lol just like the lakers in the bubble beat the same exact overrated heat team that was 6th seed that year for the most meaningless least competitive championship in nba history. LeBron has destroyed this laker franchise , lakers fans need to pray that he retires or bronny gets drafted somewhere else so he goes there to play with his son since clearly he doesn’t care about winning, which is what the lakers franchise is known for.
Nick moving the goal posts... First the Lakers will beat Denver... after all... they will be getting them in the first round before lefraud is worn out... they lose in 5... now they would have went to the conference finals if only they were on the other side of the bracket. Nick is pathetic
Magic can say what he wants he earned that right for me he and Jordan are on the same level so rather you agree or not he's earned the right to say it
thank you!!! if theres a couple people who has the clout, gravitas, credibiliy to call out and critisize lebron or anything related to this generations nba players and nba current issues its MJ and Magic. mind you, i know MJ hardly ever chimes in on anything well only when he is asked questions. those two, mj and magic arent in with the klutch narratives.
MJ, Kareem, Wilt and Magic are the ONLY arguable GOATS
Prime Shaq would murder your goat.
@@only1adonisBill Russell and Lebron have cases too.
@@VeliThaDon lol, no.
The lakers were never in the championship conversation. The media wanted them in it.
This is just what it is. Thanks for being objective.
LeBron and KD are too competitive to team up?! Since when?! Lol. That's all they've done is team up with other stars lol
They might as well go out with a bang. Create a USA team for the NBA. "MAKE NBA GREAT AGAIN", Trump Voice
Their egos are too big to cooperate. They'd each want to be the top dog, so to speak.
So every year the conversation is gone continue to be how can the NBA get LBJ more rings?? Ive never seen anything like this in the NBA prior.
Wildes is 100% right. The Lakers were overrated all year!
Yes Sir..
Exactly!
That’s almost every year lol
They totally were!!
Not at all...Yall are just hating...Hammock played the wrong starting lineup for 50 games...smh
“The 3 of them are so competitive” 😂😂😂😂 yeah right
i think out of all those 3 KD is the least competitive and Steph is the most competitive . lebron is in the middle
I can't believe he actually said that. Really???? They would never join forces??? Get the hell outta here!! That's all this generation of players wants to do. Good riddance.
Steph played with the less talent in his career KD the only superstar he played with and that was for 3 years only and KD and Bron been swept with superteams Curry is clearly more competitive
Steph is the other 2 naw🤷🏿♂️
@@peezydabeatmonster8112 Steph flew out to recruit KD after blowing a 3-1 Finals lead. That's the direct opposite of being competitive.
I know people love to hate on KD for that move but Steph was just as guilty.
Nick is arrogantly wrong more than anyone but somehow ends up creating hypotheticals where he was never actually wrong
Well said 💯
If hypotheticals are still relevant than you wouldnt know what was wrong or right yet.
He's not more wrong than anyone else. He's just the loudest. Brou was wrong 3 times in 3 weeks, picking against the chiefs, but you'll forget about that.
@@jetsettech8804more people need to realize this! I love Brou, but he was unbearable during the NFL season. He just doesn’t know football enough to be arguing about Purdy in the way he was. He was all over the place because he moved the goal post every time he was wrong. My favorite was “I never said Purdy was great!” 2 weeks after making an MVP case for him 😂
@@jetsettech8804 Nick lives in these weirdos' heads rent free so every time he's wrong they vividly remember it.
KD already went to Steph’s team. What are they talking about 😂
No no, you must be mistaken. Brou said they're too competitive for that.
Nah...that would be crazy!!!
Patrick Beverly with the 'Zesty Teapot'
Hahaha
Man Broussard tap dancing talking bout these dudes too competitive I couldn’t c them teaming up 🤦🏾♂️😂.. that’s bogus as hell .. them nggaz is the KINGS of teaming up, come on brou
Seriously lol Lebron and KD made careers out of teaming up with superstars
Lebron fans now switched to, lets just enjoy greatness before he retires! Lol
enoying the flopping, whining, complaining, making excuses, not boxing out, the turnovers, not playing defense, missing free throws...
He’s old as fuck lol. At this age Jordan was in a luxury’s box watching.
@@kbob9625 LMAO
@@kbob9625Jordan played til he was 40. That knee sat him down. On the flip side tho, he only did it to show them how to win. Lebron is on that juice. And you can tell when he doesn't take it, because his body breaks down like MJ's did naturally. Lol
@@RyanMrTsunamiBishop lol you have no proof he’s on steroids and he’s never even been accused of it. You Jordan lovers are fucking crazy.
Every year should be a rematch of the Superbowl teams to start the year.
NFC teams and afc teams play Inter-division 1 in 4 years. That’s impossible
@@younghighflyers145 which i think is dumb. why play the same teams twice a year but some teams once every 4 years.. I get the divisions but never really liked it
@@learnwithsofiajade football is a 17 game schedule it’s not like the nba where they have so many games they can play everyone.
@@younghighflyers145 i get it. maybe play the divison once and the other conference once every 2 years.
@@younghighflyers145 it's not impossible if you just do it lol
They're competitive???? 🤣🤣
He’s old or he’s playing at the highest level at this age? Make up your mind 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Both things can be true
Eras end. Their individual games aren't over. Enjoy what they do in the regular season, and be content with that.
Exactly.
Has Broussard or Wildes ever been allowed to finish a sentence in this show without being interrupted by Nick?
Broussard getting a taste of his own medicine because he NEVER EVER lets Rob or anyone else talk on odd couple
@@borganfreeman That’s funny. I’ve never listened, I’m going to check.
@@mre_physvids there's not one episode that he doesn't he can't help himself 😭
Nick acting like he knows more basketball than Brou every day is crazy
thanks guys for this very helpful
Nick wrong
Kobe was 34 his last playoff sir. Stop capping his career Nick
He was 33. The game was I May and ĥe turned 34 I August of that year.
Dude... mute yourself.
Thank you Wildes 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
They are the older, veteran NBA players so of course their dominance on the basketball is coming to an end.
Honestly the clippers should trade Khawi for Durant and reassemble the 2012 OKC Thunder team
Why would you think the Suns would come even close to making that trade? This ain’t 2k man
@@chazhopkins4686 because when healthy Khawi is a good defender which the suns are lacking. And plus he’s younger than Durant and they’re typically injured about the same
@@tristingarcia4347 khawi hasnt looked like khawi in a couple years, he may be older than durant injury wise.
And fail again.
@@Schistomaisis you’re probably right honestly but the suns have a redundancy with Durant Booker and Beal
great opener man, proper funny
You would think this segment wasnt about the Lakers based on title but you would be wrong. Its about LeBron and the Lakers
I’m so happy the super team era is coming to an end. Now we can get back to real basketball
yes ...
To be fair, Steph won rings without another superstar.
Yeah but then he got KD when Lebrun beat his 72 win team so…🤷🏾♂️
Nothing has changed
When does LeBron activate playoff mode?
Enjoy your popcorn, Lepuff…
That was along time ago. People still expecting 2013 LeBron is funny.
@@rickeyjones729 like stuff like this is so corny 😂 to wait for the Goat to get old to poke fun at him. They don’t realize it just speaks to the man’s greatness
@@rickeyjones729A LONG time ago. Not ALONG. EARLY elementary, REMEDIAL English. Be better.
@@tyronbrewer141the GOAT is 61. MJ. Still not old. Age is perspective and subjective. But he’s also not Bronny Sr. AKA LeBALCO 💊💉- which is who these people are poking fun at. He’s not even top 5. Only arguable GOATS are MJ, Kareem, Wilt and Magic.
@@only1adonislebalco? Sure. Do you remember when MJ's trainer was in some heat for giving his clients PEDs but it got swept under the rug? Probably not.
We're in a weird time where players careers are lasting much longer than they used to so we're anticipating greatness for much longer and the eras are lasting much longer but yes, this is the end of an era. Grateful to have witnessed it.
Well said the players are playing longer but yes the current greats run is over.
you guys are the best. Alissa has the markets wrap around her finger
The Clippers, Mavs, Wolves, Thunder and Nuggets are all better than Lakers. They were never going anywhere.
KD and Lebron would go to either of their teams in a heartbeat, so competitive my ass.
end of a era and time for the new and Magic needs to accept the new
*AN era. A vs. An… EARLY elementary English. Not *A era. Educate yourself. Be better.
Those guys wanted a head start on Team USA redemption tour training… they’re smart y’all not😂😂😂
They are gonna need it...the world is rapidly catching us
@@TheOceanMan-xc7qp sending a bunch of old guys to the Olympics
Bro i literally thought the same thing
Genius!
I like this narrative. Im going with this 😂
The Lakers roster has been vastly overrated by the media. Besides LeBron and AD, would any other player even start on the top 3 seeds in the West? No. Do they have any bench production? No. The roster is overrated, and because the media is unwilling to admit that, they default to blaming the coach. Darvin Ham is not a goo coach, don’t get me wrong but the Lakers wouldn’t beat Denver even if they had Phil Jackson coaching.
If you look at the players that left AFTER Lebron became a Laker, most of them left to become the 1 or 2 option elsewhere. The problem is that because Lebron is a 3 who swallows the role of the point, the 2 and 3, those players don't get to develop properly. They get all the blame, though. What os the point of being a point guard if the 3 is going to assume all of the passing and scoring??? The reason that it worked in Chicago with Scottie Pippen was he wasn't trying or demanding to be the primary scorer as well as ball handler. Kukoc, Armstrong, Hodges, Kerr, Paxon, and Harper were able to function and get their shots. Lebron has had waaaaayyyyyy more quality players around him than MJ and has done less with.
Who? Lonzo hurt, kuzma on the wizards doing nothing, bi just got swept, Caruso is good but not a foundational pieces and didn’t make the playoff ms and zubac was a rookie who barely hit playing time and found a tour within the clippers. So again who??
@davidwitt7522 .. Brandon Ingram, Caldwell Pope, Josh Hart. I only counted the guards but the bigs also left to be valuable elsewhere annnnnnd the same pattern can be said for Miami and Cleveland. And jist because Ingram got swept, that doesn't change the fact that he left and is the primary scorer!!!!! The problem with the members of the International Church of BronBron, is that instead of chasing the unattainable and creatively trying to alter the narrative of why he isn't the GOAT, y'all should just be happy that he is an all time great!!!
A
Bron bout to be 40 im in disbelief bron still able to do what he is doing
Yeah people in disbelief when Kareem was doing this stuff in the 80s too. Pretty sure Karl Malone was in the late 90s-early 2000s as well. Every once in a while you get a guy who is made of adamantium.
@@THE_BEAR_JEWI wish we could just enjoy it instead of making everything a vs MJ or a ring count debate. Stop making Lebron a daily topic, and just celebrate what he’s doing. Make him a topic when something is accomplished to a record set or broken, and focus on the rest of the league. Otherwise people just love to hate
The people see they just gonna hate just to hate
@@CedricQuarteyyea the media has pushed LeBron vs mj and trying to constantly tear down mj its a shame when they disrespect the older generation just appreciate it all but definitely the ones that paved the way, Minnesota vs Denver is the matchup I can't wait to see
Peds
How did LBJ change the Math? Like he said Jordan was 35. Kareem was 40. Malone was 40 i think i know for fact 39. Reggie was like 37. Stockton was 39 or 40. Ewing was late 30s so was Dream. Come on now!!!
They should just all join forces in LA and revive the super team 😂
Doesn’t make sense to me that Brou said Lakers winning the chip if they get past Denver…but also that Bron has no chance of getting a ring.
Magic didn't take a shot at anyone, he expressed a reasonable opinion about the early departure from the playoffs of 3 all-time greats.
Why nick never do hypotheticals about Durant and Jordan 😂😂😂 in a positive fashion that is
Magic is in disbelief? Did he see how these teams played this year?
LeBum stans specialize in moving goalposts 👍
The NBA changed the math because just like the NFL, every NBA game is played like an all-star game, so players can play longer. I like how they always show baseball players fighting who can't fight at all. How about showing two guys in the NHL going toe to toe that can actually fight.
The fact that magic is surprised speaks to the greatness of all these players. At there age most greats where done or not good anymore but the expectation for these three is still championship or at least deep playoff run or it wasn’t good enough. I can’t remember the last time we judged any older players like this. Magic Larry and mike got old and everybody noticed and said well there old now but if they were younger ect. But we think steph and kd suppose to compete til they 40 and lebron til he 45 smh. He could be 60 and people going be like he didn’t get it done 😂😂😂
I swear jokic looks every bit a young 34yr old
Probably the worst statement ever. "These guys are so competitive i dont see them ever teaming up" lmao 2 of em are the epitome of that ring chaser mentality. What a joke
What about Tim Duncan? He had a HOF career, 19 years
The NBA built Lebron, MJ built the NBA!
can we get the bob Marley indicator ?
This is whats supposed to happen and needs to happen, the younger players are now supposed to take over and carry the league
Wow, so now lebron needs Curry and KD to beat Jokic. Doesnt Get more pathetic than that hahahaha 😂
Dey can't stop da Joker u need Bigs. A Center. Like 610 7 Feet. Athletic wit some weight on him.
Kinda like how Steph needed klay dray and kd to beat lebron
@@tyrellleach1846 i thought you brontards said it was "the weakest move in nba history" right ? or only when Kd and curry does it ?
Here to support #1
The season is not as compressed as it was 30 years ago. Players sit out games to avoid overuse injuries. Technological advantages are also a factor.
2 of them arent that competitive 😂😂😂
KD in LA would lose
Doctor J's last playoff game he was 37 years old. Kareem was 42 in his last playoff game.
“Old fashion bruhaha” 😭😭
All the old guys should team up against the young guys. Kd, LeBron, steph, and Ad
Really im glad to see them go or just start a new NBA team of fallen goats
Nick takes speculative hypothetical compound hearsay to the next level. You might actually confuse it as the truth!📯
Those 3 are to competitive to go to the others team? 🤣
LeBron and KD basically have been team jumping the majority of their careers.
The in szn tournament championship counts as 3 titles according to source.
They need to join forces.
They will still lose
How can you say "either of them" when you're talking about three people. "Either" refers to two choices.
Btw Boys in that Brewers Rays game there was definitely build up for that to happen it wasn’t random 😂 someone didn’t do their Hw still love yall tho
My god the perfect segment: “The Changing of the Guard” as a compliment to club superstar. Costumes, a horn, EVERYTHING. KW declaring “Today is a new day, the dawning of a new age. Time is our sovereign, and with one generation comes another. In the name of the Committee, protectors of the Tapestry of Greatness and Lords of the Hill, I do declare the changing of the guard!” *horns, doves, light*
I miss Game of Zones
Pat Bev was maddddddddddddddd sus on that too small. Way to much sugar in that animation
oh here we goooooo! what is it now Nick?
Honestly, I don't know how load management is supposed to help in a situation like the Lakers. When the Spurs did it, I got it, they had a plethora of young guys that needed minutes and it gave older guys like Duncan a breather when needed, teams like the Clippers and Lakers do it because there are times their stars just don't wanna go to work that night.
The fact is, the Spurs are the ONLY team that has benefitted from load management. The Clippers have flat out thrown rings away in the last 4 years just because of this. Look at that team, they should've at the very least made at least 1 finals, the Lakers shouldn't be jocking for a final playoff spot every year when they have that roster. The reason teams like Denver win is because they have a roster of guys that actually put the team first. Jamal Murray isn't hitting those game winners if he's load managing 10-15 games a year, I promise you that.
it is not possible that the lakers would have beaten OKC, nor, the mavs, clips, minnesota, and of course, Denver
OKC would blitz the Lakers in 5 or 6. OKC has the best player and 4 of the best 6 players. Arguably 5 of the best 7. The have more playmaking, more shooting, better perimeter defense and the interior defense is quite close (considering the Lakers have AD). OKC has far more energy and excels in the clutch.
For the Lakers to win AD has to be by far the best player in the series. 80/20 OKC's favor.
Stop with the clickbait titles
All 3 of them should go to the knicks
“Gotta love Pat Bev” aged horribly, quickly!
The NFL wants divisional games to count, so they always put them towards the end of the schedule. But the chiefs are ALWAYS resting starters the last week of the season. So to make it more interesting, I think they put Chiefs vs Chargers week one. It's harbaugh's first game. Would be a big draw with the LA market. I think that's the one
Why the disbelief? his reign - like everyone else's - eventually ended. amazing how dimwitted he so often sounds despite all his commercial success
No one:
Broussard: LEBRAAAAWWNNN
Even if all 3 team up they still no longer good enough to win a ring
Honestly its great to see this new young core emerge...these old guys had more than their share of success and good fortune...time waits for nobody
Fact check: Al Horford is 5 years older than Kyrie
I wouldn't doubt if LeBron would team up with Curry.
Funny thing is, he still won't be considered better than Kobe
I think if bron joins GSW or Suns those teams are gonna win a chip. Bron and KD or Bron, Steph, and Draymond are def contenders. Now, it will definitely hurt their legacies but they'd get a ring.
Magic can say what he want too. KD back to the warriors, with Klay, CP, and Klay taking a pay cut to go after a championship with the team they have now.
They shouldn't waste week one with a good matchup against the chiefs. It should be denver. Save the Houston, Cincy, and Ravens for later
I would love it to be the Texans.
LeBron to the Suns for Beal and a couple firsts
If Kobe didn't get hurt he would've played high level basketball til he was at least 37
Denver has one All Star and has one guy who made one All Star team in 2017 (DeAndre Jordan) who barely plays. Lakers had 2 All Stars and 2 Top 75 players. And they have gotten dog walked 2 years in a row. Stop this BS David vs Goliath narrative.
A: Jamal Murray is easily an all star and Jokic is the best player in the world
B: how you gunna say they have 2 all stars AND 2 top 75 players like they arent the same player? 😂
0 context in your statement. MJ is a top 75 player should we add him on the lakers and watch him cook? Dude is 40 bro. I dont know why anyone thinks hes still capable of playing like he did 10 years ago. Denver should have EASILY beat LA but they player like garbage and made it closer than it should have been
Kyle Lowry will be the oldest left cause Philly still love he is 38
Hey at least these guys gonna have time to rest up for the France lol
They left out Jrue Holiday, Mike Conley, and Al Horford.
I think the key there is these older veterans are playing on teams led by younger stars.
I think that's a model some of these older stars might want to look at.
I think of all the older players KD might be in the best position because D Book is still one of the young guns and Beal is still young(although his body has been breaking down like an older player)
The issue is will one of these older players take a complimentary role to a young star?
It's very tough to admit that you can no longer carry a franchise.
I keep hearing about "Get Bron Help" or "Get Steph Help" or "Get KD Help" but Jokic is winning with what he has, Ant is winning with what he has, SGA is winning with what he has, etc......
Bron, Steph, and KD command a lot of a team's cap and then if they have a co-star such as Klay, D Book, or AD, that player will also command a huge chunk of the cap....
If you get them a 3rd star level player, that's 3 guys taking 90% of the available cap.
So what will the other 12 look like?
I'm not complaining about what players make, i am pro labor all the way, these players deserve that money and market rate salaries.
They are who the fans are paying to watch perform.
It's just the reality of a cap system...
One way to "possibly" mitigate this is by an older star like say Bron or Steph, identifying a young star or team that can afford to pay him market rate while the younger guys are still being paid under market rate.....
However, even though you are now the highest paid player, enter the team with less ego and a willingness to allow the younger star to be team leader(and the head coach by the way)
Sort of how Rudy Gobert is doing in Minnesota.
I think right now he is likely the highest paid player and a several time DOPY.
He could have gone there and acted like a big shot but instead he is allowing the younger Edwards to emerge as team leader.
Even the higher paid KAT has done that.
That's the path i see for a Steph or Bron.
We just saw a team with Steph, Klay, Dray, and CP3 not even make the playoffs and a team with Kawhi, PG, Harden, and Russ get knocked out in the 1st rd....
Bron and AD knocked out in the 1st rd.
Dame and Giannis knocked out in the 1st rd(i understand Giannis didn't play and Dame only played 1 or 2 games)
KD, D Book, and Beal knocked out in the 1st rd...
All the younger teams will be even stronger next season and more confident.
All returning most of their teammates and retaining their head coaches.
The Kings and Pelicans should be better next season.
Maybe The Rockets emerge?
Ja returns and makes The Grizzlies a threat?
Maybe Wemby and The Spurs vastly improve?
Are we sure Bron, Steph, Kawhi, and KD can overcome this changing of the guard?
Lebron would team up with them in a heartbeat if he thinks they have anything left in the tank... he will team up with anyone if it eliminates competition and makes his path easier.
It's stupid to think Lakers would beat any of the top 3 teams.
KD on the Mavs is a guaranteed ring if they’re healthy. Dallas is in the top 3 or 4 teams with 6’6 wings who can’t hit a jump shot. You think they wouldn’t be substantially better with a 6’11 wing putting up 20-25 at over 50%?
1 more championship will come from those 3 .. the question is who will get that last one ?
The public could probably get behind an old all-star team taking on the young new stars.
If Curry had an AD type of talent next to him he would still content..
