11:47 My Slime wilds thinking real hard right now
If we learned nothing from the Miami Lebron, Wade, Bosh experience, we should know that you can't expect such talented, expensive players, to just keep winning 7 championships or something ridiculous. That group won 2. Boston won 1 with Pierce, Allen, KG, Rondo. It's tough to dominate every year.
I hate that they by they i mean Nick…..always discuss a players talent based on his contract….its not your money….i would like a media person to just be honest …not rude like Barkley…but honestly say to the listeners…hey i just don't like that guy! Melo made the 2nd most 3s in the nba but you mad that he took them and missed them HOWEVER was admit that you thought knuppll should be on the court eventhough he was just as off as Melo…..6yrs in nba….never played in a meaningful nba game….get to one…without changing his style of play…yet bcuz he plays the same way that got him there….he wrong and immature? Just bcuz we tell people to grow up…it is not instantly that it will happen.
I dont like how everyone complains about every little thing about this new generation of the nba. But glaze adam silver , that guy single handedly killed the nba. Everything he has done has ruined the nba but noooooo they always glaze him or leave him out of the conversation when its time to blame anyone. The nba will never be great again until adam silver is replaced
Grandpa Nick talking about LaMelo.
8:59 Nick is a G 😂😂😂 Vexing 😂😂😂
Looks like Nick followed Kamala harris blueprint to move on up… Nick acts like he knows what everyone else is thinking or talking about, he's 🗑
If i were the thunder and they have tons of picks and they cannot even add the picks in their rooster so trade their picks to get the first or second.
Much better than brou ❤
Thunder added j dub with the 12th pick, and we traded ousmane gieng who never played for jarred McCain. So we can turn extra picks and players into something that will actually help us win. Also the thunder was one one the most injured players all year and that would have destroyed other teams but we still got the best record in the league because we're so deep. If some players leave we can restock and be good to go. The thunder have already won just getting at top 11/12 pick, and now imagine we get a top 10 pick.
The CBA will make it even harder to keep players from having control in picking their own teams so only can use draft picks as capital/players
Worst trade in history. Top 3 player, amazing 3pt shooter, 5 1st rd picks for Playoff P
if you are a top pick and you wanna grow as player you don't wanna be on thunder because you will the 4th or even 5th options or worst benched, If you are a top pick you wanna be a in team were at least you can be a third option if not a the first
OKC, don't be like the 04 Pistons who drafted a bust and messed up their title chances for the next Decade!
My favorite part was where Danny’s take was literally just Nick’s take from a week ago
Nick is the last person to criticize a plyer for not playing defense considering how much he loves Luka. By the way, did Nick mention the fact that had Luka not missed a game due to the fact that he had gotten his sixteenth technical foul he would have been eligible for awards? No, he made it about "seeing his kids being born"
Can't even watch these takes anymore. Usually just skip right by them. Why do these guys bow to Nick it's bush league
Jeez !! Nick stop sweating lebron so much!! It’s not even hating, everyone sees it. Please stop it! Have some respect for yourself
that new dude got a serious radio face , where is Brou?
Rockets will do rockets things and choke
I can’t watch the show brou is not there 🙄🙄
I just don't get all these young players getting hurt so often, I grew up watching hoops in the 90s and I just don't remember players being injured this much, ain't the shoes and other gear better now? the doctors too? just doesn't make any sense
Nick is the biggest hater of OKC that I have ever seen and I get on Reddit sometimes
I would love to have a fan like Nick Wright in my life although it would be annoying given that he would just back me and not really be objective EVER. The correct analysis of the Houston vs Lakers series is, by some miracle I, being Nick Wright, hope that JJ Reddick can put together a defensive scheme to beat Houston in 6 games.
Luka will be back for the game nr.4!
That,s what Slovenian media said today….where I came from like Luka.
Means,Lakers must win one game of first 3…
The rest do Luka,no problem.
So,1 of 3…that,s doable,don,t you think?
Nick Wright never supports Houston teams even when he was on 610 radio. He never gives them support. This series is the Rockets' to loose.
Durant is better than bron rn
Man Nick is going to miss LeBron James playing basketball whenever he stops playing. Nick Wright might not know what to do with himself when Bron is gone…..😂😂
Stop giving Presti too much credit. He deserves credit but he only has one Ring so far??? This current team was built thru draft attrition. Not draft genius. There are loads of high/mid Presti picks long gone from the Thunder.
Lamelo also has the best selling sneakers the last couple of years, real hoopers fw lamelo
I hope the Lkaers lose in 4 and every game is a heart breaker. Just so the Lakers fans can cry about how they almost did something all summer and then they resign Lebron & son.
If you aren’t afraid of the rockets team , pick the lakers Nick !
00:50 wrong and wrongerrr 😂 can’t wait for the thunder to lose
02:00 are the sperms young? Yes, are the rockets young? Yes..but Nick is not and therefore he’s a colossal reeegard 😂😂😂 thunder, spurs,rockets are the best three “young” teams going forward
03:00 Nick has no clue what he’s about to try and spin by the way 😂😂😂 typical progressive 😂
lmao that foul lamelo did wasnt a foul but nick dont know basketball anyways lmao, he was the waterboy
09:49 😂 what a poonanie!! Pick the lakers my guyyyy! But nahhh it’s Nick, he’s a Colin cowherd regen 😂
