@@edwardrivera3098 Thank you and I really hope you enjoy my other videos too!

@@heyimrahat Sure we can do that although this channel is primarily a sports analysis channel. I have a second channel about Japan, Nick in Japan, but to be honest, I haven't been active at all with that. If I can have someone edit my videos here, it would help me with uploading more both on here and on that channel. I appreciate you checking out this vlog and enjoying it, I'll be sure to check out your content too!

This is where I've wanted to post more videos about Japan on. I have posted a few videos as you may see on my channel. I would like to get more serious though but for sure, the sports channel is the main channel.

What are you waiting for with coming here then?

@@CASHPABLOG Nice! I have a 2 more BayStars vlogs if you want to check those out and I am in the process of editing a Tokyo Giants vlog right now.

Yup

Leadoff Gleyber has still been great and Judge has struggled since this video but other than that, you're spot on.

@@AdamsGuitarsAndCases I'm glad you enjoyed this video that took me 3 weeks to finish making. 😂 I really do though. A more recent video I made Why The Nuggets OWN The Lakers but it doesn't have nearly as many views, I exposed LeBron's excuse making there again. Blaming the replay center when his team blew a 20 point lead and he's the one who missed that wide open 3 right before Jamal Murray hit that buzzer beater. 🤦🏻 This applies to all aspects of life. Losers find excuses, winners find a way. Kobe averaged 32 while Shaq averaged 25, Rick Fox was hurt and didn't play, Robert Horry and Brian Shaw shot under 30% in that series, and still not one excuse from Kobe.

@@petroskatsilieris1897 I'm glad you enjoyed this too. I'm glad we're mostly on the same page but if we all agreed on everything it'd be a boring world right? If you don't mind, would you like to share what you don't agree with?

​@@showtimenick824 O.K. then. For example ... The New York Knicks gave up way to much to get Mikal Bridges. When he is NOT the final piece of the puzzle, for them to become championship material. In my opinion. Anunoby is never going to be healthy for extended periods of time - let alone a whole season. Toronto giving up such a game-changer, when he is healthy, means they know just that. Otherwise they would do anything to keep him. And on top of that, they lost an extremely useful Hartenstein ... and are now totally dependent on Robinson to stay healthy, which he just CAN'T seem to do. Otherwise the Knicks are going to have a huge hole at the center position. And at rim protecting, as a consequence. So many "ifs" for this team. And even if everything breaks right for them, they DON'T have a championship roster. Not yet. They are definitely not off-season winners, in my book. Not even close actually.

@@petroskatsilieris1897Now I completely agree with you. I don't like this KAT trade at all.

@@showtimenick824 You don't??? Isn't he the last piece of the puzzle??? When i read about it, i thaught, "NOW Nick is right about them being BIG winners in this offseason". You threw me a curveball here!?!?!

@@petroskatsilieris1897 I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm especially glad to know it's not just me who believes the Sixers will regret giving Paul George the bag!

@@showtimenick824 That was absolute madness Nick. A desperation move, in every way. And the Sixers are now way too top heavy ... without at least having 3 sure things in their "big-3". Actually, i only trust Tyrese Maxey to stay healthy and produce at a high level throughout the season. I have about ... 0% trust in Embiid and Paul George to do the same. 0. Percent

Also making excuses, quitting, nepotism, lying, playing victim, and having the worst fanbase in all of sports.

So true! That's an interview everyone needs to see. Excuses are for losers.

@@EmiAtkinson For real!

@@EmiAtkinson Thank you!

@@sparky498 I don't know if I'll get a better comment than this one if I do receive anymore. 😂 I really hope I get more but whether I do or not, I think this is the best one I'll get! Like I said at the beginning of my last video though, the Warriors are neither winners or losers to me and their dynasty's just over.

@@showtimenick824 Thank you ☺️ The Warriors' issues are moreso about their internal affairs more than anything. They are stuck in this limbo and are undecided on what to do. The West is definitely going to eat them alive if they don't do something.

@@showtimenick824 thank you so much ☺️ I'm putting the Warriors up in there, because it seems they have the same amount of issues as any other team, really. They are stuck in this limbo, and if they don't fix the house soon, the West is really going to eat them alive.

@sparky498 We can't forget the Grizzlies will have a healthy Ja Morant this upcoming season and as long as he's learned anything about being smart on social media, we can expect the Grizzlies to add to how deep the Western Conference is.

@@iraelliott8936 He really doesn't get enough criticism for that. I rewatched it recently enough to know it was called out in the broadcast too. I don't know when I'll do it, but one day, I may make a separate video on that. There's just so many other topics for me to want to make videos on too and not even just with basketball.

Yup and I hate it. I said it in my video about how the 213 era for the Clippers being a failure and how they should think about what the fans want. I stand by it. Those years when the Lakers were a perennial lottery team when it was Kobe's farewell tour and then the couple years after that when they were still terrible, that was more enjoyable than now. At least back then, we had homegrown talent to look forward to. 2015 after Kobe's season ending injury, just seeing how Jordan Clarkson was doing was way more fun than the clown show that is today's Lakers. Or we got to enjoy beating the Warriors once a year. I was actually on a plane when the Lakers beat the 73-9 Warriors. I watched the first quarter of that game but then had to catch a flight while thinking the Lakers will find a way to blow this game. I got off the plane, OH MY GOD THE LAKERS ACTUALLY WON! Then we got to make jokes like after the Spurs beat them, asking if the Spurs can beat the March 6, 2016 Lakers. Of course post achilles Kobe as a whole was totally forgettable, his last game was totally unforgettable. We at least got to enjoy things like that, but what is there to actually enjoy now? Not that I want the Lakers to ever consistently lose 50+ games again and of course such a storied franchise should not be satisfied with anything short of a championship, but it was still way more fun to just enjoy the little things about a terrible team than watch this team currently at a dead end because of LeBron's massive ego. It's even worse when he never has and never will mean as much to this franchise as plenty of other Laker legends but still gets this much entitlement. Being a Lakers fan is part of who I am but I despise rooting for the current brand that this team has become.

@@EmiAtkinson That's coming very soon!

LOL You think I care what you think? 🤣 I'll be more than glad to get back to you in a few years. Paul George is a massive overpay. Be careful what you wish for. Best case scenario, you'll see short term benefits. If you just watch his highlights, of course you'll be impressed, but anyone who actually watches him play full games knows he leaves a lot on the table. Delete your subscription, I'm pretty sure I've never seen you here anyways. 🤷🏻

@@sparky498 The favorable circumstances are definitely tough to get in the West. If only the Lakers drafted De'Aaron Fox over Lonzo Ball. Or Jayson Tatum of course and sure they had forwards in Ingram and Randle, but Tatum ended up being better than both of them. When De'Aaron Fox was sobbing after losing in the Elite 8 while Lonzo Ball just said I'm going to the NBA, that kind of made me think De'Aaron Fox is probably the better choice if this team is drafting a point guard, but I also thought well I'll trust the greatest point guard of all-time. Even the greatest point guard of all-time certainly isn't always right and with all my problems I've had with LeBron, of course that's not something I'll blame him for since he was still in Cleveland at the time.

Oh they rave about his field goal percentage all the time. It's the only percentage they care about though because it's the only one they can use to fit their narrative and while no it's not a meaningless stat, it also does have a lot of flaws so it's not even remotely an end all be all stat.

@@momo4044 I appreciate that although I do realize I should've watched the 96 Finals before making this video. I made up for that by making the video Uncovering The Truth About The 1996 NBA Finals last year. I also think I undersold the Jazz. Or the Cavs that Jordan's Bulls beat twice, well I advocated for Mark Price to be in the Hall of Fame.

@@Nastynorth3 I'm glad to have you on my side here. I wouldn't call LeBron a bum but his antics sure are annoying and his idiot fans are even more annoying.

@mikeball1397 Steph is way too high on that list and he's not even close to Magic Johnson. Magic Johnson is the undisputed greatest point guard of all-time end of story. Kareem and Russell are also way too low on this list.

@@showtimenick824 4 titles with 1 team! And will get more, best 3 point shooter ever and set more records with 3’s than bird, Magic and Kareem put together!! If he gets 2 more with golden state I’ll put him at 2nd!! Behind Mj also I change my list Bird for Kobe. I just watched some shit that is next level!!

@@mikeball1397 Magic won 5 championships with one team and even though he may have been drafted into a better situation than Steph, having the single greatest Finals performance in NBA history as a rookie still speaks a lot of volumes. Magic was more versatile and was more than capable of scoring but chose to be a facilitator. Steph also missing the playoffs as many times as he has doesn't help his case vs Magic. And his chances of even getting one more ring are so slim.

@@showtimenick824 yeah but magic got carried by Kareem twice and he played in the easy coast!! With 4 hall of fame’rs!!

@@showtimenick824 Steph and Bird played in the harder leagues and always carried the team on their back.

@@mikeallen6784 Yup! Luka's a great player but has a lot of growing up to do. He has a history of saying he needs to change his behavior when it comes to refs dating back to his Euroleague only for him to still have this problem to this day. At some point he really needs to learn. Also, not getting back on defense after turning the ball over, I don't care who you are, you should have a seat on the bench immediately if you ever do that if I'm coaching.

Great point and Austin Rivers said this too! After looking for stuff about Austin Rivers to use as visuals, I found that but I decided what was recorded has already been recorded and I'll leave it to those of you commenting to bring it up and I'm glad you did!

@@EmiAtkinson You will have a blast! ⚾️

@@tnsxpm I have a video on Jordan's Wizards years that I made much more recently and wore my Jordan Wizards jersey in the video if you want to check that out. That's a video I made way more recently than this one.

@@tnsxpm It took me a moment to figure out what you're talking about but I'm guessing now Hakeem Olajuwon? Since this video is over a year old and while I remember what I said, I don't even remotely remember the chronological order of what I said. Hakeem did have Clyde Drexler in 95 and Clyde was still a very good player. No All-Star help from Hakeem in either back to back championships, yeah I can get behind that.

@@showtimenick824 My bad I forgot it was an old video lol. Hakeem did have Clyde for the second chip but he wasn't an all star that year. Hakeem had no all stars on those teams and his first chip he won by himself winning MVP, DPOY & FMVP. Doing that then going back to back winning FMVP on crazy numbers is more impressive to me. No bailouts. Nobody to blame if you lose. He got it done. LeBron needed Wade & he got bailed out by Ray Allen.

@@tnsxpm Clyde wasn't an All-Star that year, true but he was the year prior and the following 2 years after. But yeah I don't know when we got to the point of just blaming everyone else. This generation is just so soft.

@@sparky498 Exactly and it's pathetic. Was Jeanie Buss just that unaware of everything growing up with her dad as the greatest owner in sports? The Lakers are already a brand name with or without LeBron. How does she not know this? It's pathetic. If she's really that clueless, I know Magic Johnson urged Dr. Buss' kids to not sell the team after the great owner passed, but it's time. The brand we once knew died with Dr. Buss and Kobe.

@@RageManRegg What he accomplished as a basketball player doesn't really tell us he isn't intelligent and you know I never liked JJ Redick. I've hated seeing his blasphemous takes on basketball history. Still, we know he knows he was never the best player on any NBA team he ever played for. You have to have an at least above average basketball IQ compared to the rest of the world to play in the NBA. When it comes to X's and O's and talking about the modern game, he knows about what he's talking about. It's pre 2000 basketball that he talks about like the biggest bozo in the world.

@KentuckyWaterfall13 Being a GM is not the same as being a head coach. The fact that Steve Kerr played for Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich sure may have helped and as a guy who came off the bench, he may agree with Yogi Berra, "You can observe a lot just by watching." I covered the Warriors dynasty enough to know the Warriors motion offense has elements from the triangle offense, Spurs offense, and Suns run and gun offense.

@@RageManRegg Funny thing is I used to stick up for him a lot more often than not before he became a Laker and definitely was during the 2020 championship run to the point where I even got so carried away I forgot he quit on the team the year prior. 2021 is when I realized how overrated he is amongst the all-time greats and really got to see his narcissism on full display when he quit after AD got hurt against the Suns in the playoffs and then the following year with all his stat padding, not trying on defense and seeing him post his highlights after getting blown out. I should've known it all along by the 2018 Finals the very latest from quitting on the team after JR's blunder when sure what happened isn't your fault but you still have another 5 minutes left to win the game and then the fake cast after getting swept, that was cowardly for him to do. I guess it's better late than never for me to realize how selfish LeBron truly is.

It’s a false equivalence because him making the Finals and WINNING was ultimate difference. Now if you want to compare personalities you can, but that’s an OPINION 😂

They both have winning Finals MVP on their resume and came at the end of their careers but yeah Wilt only making the Finals does say a lot. Yes winning it even just once is what got Wilt's number retired. 100%. Missing the playoffs twice and not even the play in tournament with a super team, also LeBron quitting on his team in 2019 after he failed to trade everyone for AD, quitting against the Suns after AD got hurt, then quitting in so many winnable games when Russell Westbrook was a Laker, yeah I think I have to give it to Wilt. While yes Finals record does hold any weight, all of this is worse than losing in the Finals. Wilt was also without Jerry and Elgin because they were injured when they lost to the Bucks in 1971. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here but Wilt didn't quit because he didn't have Jerry West or Elgin Baylor against the Bucks did he like LeBron did after AD got hurt 3 years ago? He did make it past the Bulls before losing to the Bucks and Jerry and Elgin didn't play in that series either.

@@bobbysmoove4796 I get your point and indeed it is forced but even if it wasn't, what Austin Rivers had to say about his experience playing for his dad and knowing it caused tension in the locker room was really the first thing that made me not want Bronny even if he was any good in college. Not to mention unlike Bronny, Austin Rivers was the number 1 player in high school and was a lottery pick in the NBA. Bronny's neither of those things. Also Doc Rivers isn't nearly the name LeBron James is.

@@matthewg5792 I actually had it done for me and thought it was better than what I originally had. If this audio isn't what I should use, maybe I will look into getting a mic since in almost 4 years oj UA-cam, I have never used one. I've never seen you here, I'm not sure if this is your first time here but I appreciate the feedback.

@@xXFoXyPaNdAXx I agree and I was thinking about using a clip of Austin Rivers speaking on Bronny but then decided not to because I thought it'd drag the video on too long. But from watching it, he made a great point. Has anyone ever thought of what Bronny actually wants? I think LeBron wants to help his son be the best version of himself but he just has such terrible self awareness and isn't doing that the right way.
