Thanks!
Jayz, Macys, PayPal or Pay-me! Lakers in 🖐🏽 five.
Way to go Luka ❤👍🏾
Damonza has that SAS D. White hairline!!!
Legendary Luka❤
🥱. Your YouTube channel makes me sleepy 😴
I'M SO PROUD OF DAMONZA!!! he's growing up 🥲
Happy Anniversary!
Bro got me twice now wanting to hear his NFC predictions…well just the Eagles! Go Birds
Never Cry Crew check in
(Since 2009 for me)
Birdman catching strays today haha
Low key hater is nick and is a master at spinning things love watching him and chris go at
Have you not seen how Steph has been playing
great to see nick giving props to zack lowe and recommending his viewer to his new podcast, even when he´s on another network! game recognize game! hope to see them doing a pod together, that would be awesome!
Bruh if we lose (i'm a Lakers fan) in the first round….
They stand no chance vs Boston
He could’ve easily gave them boys in Dallas a 50/60 piece but he showed them some grace in the second half.
Father son combo I will always click 😂😂😂 1:08:50 he almost died 😂😂😂
LeBron is getting another ring!
Nicks face should never be this close to the camera
Nick I love ya, but to say no one in the West can beat LA is completely disingenuous. Of course LA can lose.
Nico gave Luka to the lakers for kobe 💜
The Ja segment got me 😂💀
His name is Nick Wright not Nick Wrong. Lakers in 5.
Luka since the trade has had the shock of his life, an unexpected life changing experience no one should be put through without notice! Of course he's been holding onto those mixed emotions of loneliness, sadness and betrayal! After 2 plus months he finally returns to Dallas and finally can breathe a little since the go go of the trade he really hasn't taken it all. He's been an empty shell that left his heart and soul in Dallas! For him to express his emotions last night it finally sunk in for him that this is it, he had no choice in the matter and this will haunt him for a long time because the Mavs meant a lot to him, that was his family. The fans love & support for Luka will never stop in Dallas because he was our guy, he was our family! I hope someday he can return to Dallas and retire at his first home!
Feel bad for Nick’s son. He doesn’t know what it’s like to have a LeBron or Luka where there is no playing poorly in the playoffs.
56:08 new favorite podcast moment 😅
What's weird is the same people defending Ja are saying Luka needs to grow up 🤦🏻😅
The guy that secretly we have to thank was Jason Kidd as he allowed Luka to play his thing this time; because last time was BS. he was blitzing him like we did with AD and then the guys from MAVS upon seeing Luka cried on the screen helped by loosening up a bit defensively recognizing how special this night is for Luka.
Love the show. Really entertaining and great work 🎉🥳
Luka monster won over the whole NBA
WIldes and Bru had some of the worst all-time takes on the Luka issue. You cannot absolve one party who is wrong just because another party is wrong, especially if it's just because you have animus towards said party. Nick is one of the rare analysts who uses actual logic and consistent argumentation. And that should be celebrated.
Good lord Nick is overrating the lakers so much.
Trax
Nick LeBron was NOT healthy when they went to the conference finals..are you kidding me?…he was literally on one leg all playoffs. Why are we forgetting that?
Although I was a lil disappointed about “young” Ja’s antics not too long ago But guys have been doin gun celebrations forever. The NBA should have just left it alone and let Ja deal with the public backlash, however severe it would or would not be.🤷🏾♂️
What's right
Nick wright
Date Night… Lakers in 5 🖐
“Increase the acten-A-foolness.”😂😂😂
Messi leaving barca comes to mind, but it wasnt out of the blue.
Nick didnt watch the game properly. Nuggets played good defence. Zach Lavine got hot. They been cooking everyone lately. Including Cavs. And they still won.
Stephen A. Smith should of been at the game with the secret service to protect him against the big bad bully LeBron
Getting better than first take ever was and is by a mile with great takes. Keep it up
On the Ja Morant topic, it’s not about impressing his friends. It’s about impressing his dad.
nick love the show and your takes are always spot on in my opinion. i thought you would touch more on how this was like lebron's last lesson for AD. he was guarding him at center and posting on him. Him and JJ were outsmarting AD & Kidd. it just felt like it was Lebron's last lesson for his former running mate
betting on haliburton is insane work
Damonza's best pod so far!
