Luka Doncic scored 60 points against the Miami Heat during the Los Angeles Lakers’ win. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes ask if the Lakers and Luka are a real threat to win the West, and if the San Antonio Spurs can make the NBA Finals after clinching a playoff spot thanks to Victor Wembanyama’s game-winning shot vs. the Phoenix Suns. Plus, they discuss Aaron Rodgers’ potential return to the Pittsburgh Steelers following free agency.

Them missing the very easy nickname of Duke Lukem is making me upset
If Luka can average 37 ppg in March,I don't understand how people don't believe Jordan could average 40 ppg in today's game
Can we talk about LeBron having his 4th triple double at 40+, with 15 15 10. The rest of nba history has 1. Plus he tied for most games played ever.
Lebron locks in after the deadline cause he knows they cant get any better this isnt new but they are still the same
Absolutely love this show ❤
Same story as last year, they'll get bounced pretty quickly.
Nick wants the Lakers to win the title and Luka to win MVP so bad. It's so jarring how we can allow such Lakers bias because your favorite players on that team.
“Political nonsense” only cuz you disagree with it. Get bent.
Everybody in the comments like, what about Kobe? What about Kobe??
Kobe scored 100 in 2 games too!
😂
Political nonsense? Wow, that was the most stupied comment i heard Nick say in a long time..
Nick was calling the lakers a bad team when is sugar daddy LeBron was throwing a tantrum not to long ago
Now: Lakers are a real contender
After they get bounced in 1st round: they weren’t a good team really
Jokic could never be better than luka 😂😂 sybau
Here we go again with Nick lol. Now he has to hate on Wemby because he does everything in his power to love anything and everything of Luka. He does it with the Chiefs and anybody who threatens them
Luka is looking (physically) the best he is looked in years, and this has been translated in his energy in the end of games. Luka has always been the best player to start a game, but usually gets tired towards the end. These recent weeks he seems to have much more energy. And it can also be seen in his defensive efforts
Welp, looks like Lakers won the trade😂
Luka at 4? Broussard wth
The issue I have w/ the graphic about top 3 seed scoring leader is that for the actual winners:
SGA was 1st seed (60 +wins)
Embiid was 3rd seed but many say his was undeserved
Harden was 1st seed (60+ wins)
Steph was 1st seed (73 win season)
KD finished 2nd seed (59 wins)
Iverson was first in conference (56 wins)
Shaq was first in conference (67 wins)
KD and Melo in 2012 and 2013 respectively were second seeds
So really Luka and Embiid are outliers by not being top two seeds in this graphic, and not winning near 60 games
Brou mispronouncing Spurs players surprised me. And he did it a few times also.
I love the guys, but I swear their Steelers takes are getting worse. Rodgers was mediocre last year? If you wanna compare him to his MVP years, sure, but saying that KIRK COUSINS would be a better QB choice is asinine.
why mention Harden 😂 and luka lead the NBA in fta and ftm so he is relying on free throws too lol
Guys gotta find a way to talk football even during the offseason. Can’t just talk about lakers 5 days a week every week till September. Do mock drafts do offseason story lines DO THE NFL.
Does Broussard actually get paid to repeat the same thing week after week. “I think they get their first losing season” he said the exact same thing last year. Rodgers numbers aren’t bad and look at their record. Same thing he’s said about any team interested in Rodgers since his first season with the jets.
Brou really is a lil luka hater. 4th on the ballot??
LeBron might've played his last game in Miami… And he pulled everyone of his mates off their beds for this one…. Good for Miami fans that showed up for this game… This type of game builds character in a team… Bodes well for playoffs … However they need the rub of the green or wood in the playoffs to go deep like 3 rds or higher ..
So Nick made the argument that record matters with seeding for MVP with Luka and then says it's the only difference for Wemby from one year to the next and it shouldn't matter? I'm confused
20:46 Wemby’s stats are skewed because he’s been on a minutes restriction so that could “lessen” the numbers.
If Luka was black…
The NBA is worse than the NFL. Two weeks ago it was trade lebron because he doesnt work and fire JJ and start fresh with Luka and Reaves. Now they are winning a championship. Unreal.
If Lebron is on your team, he is the key.
The whole media was haiting on Luka 4 weeks ago
The switch up is crazy.
Luka literally carried his team to the finals 2 years ago
Brou might need to have his vote suspended for a little while. This is kinda dumb at this point
Kobe also did it more than once, the 50 point streak comes to mind, and either game on the other side of 81
Isnt Canter more than an athlete. Why is Nick haiting on someones political opinion?
Dort will make him his b, like always. Enough said
