Wildes is such an instigator and I love it 😂
Not hard when you have two walking Ls to make fun of as your co hosts
@@davidmason3671 🤣💯
It’s like the older brother egging the youngest and middle brothers fighting
@Henry Giberson lol. I used to do the same thing with my younger siblings 😅 when we were kids.
Being a Nick hater isn't much, but it's good, honest work.
I think I was the first, I hated him when he worked with Chris Carter
I like Nick now that he has hair, even though his takes can be a bit ridiculous at times. Bald Nick was much more annoying.
@@dangreene3895 and you’ve been watching him for 8 years? That’s crazy work
@@maxpennacchini3261 lol true. As much as I'm a hater I still like him. Him being wrong is the best of both worlds
i actually Miss when chris would put him in his place
Chris absolutely FRIED Nick today ❤
Nick wrong
Was waiting for someone to acknowledge how well Chris did today
🍗🍗
You know Nick's take is going up in flames when he starts throwing around the word Historic or Historically😂
Right and then when they talk about winning a finals mvp with a losing effort, he says "maybe we did it wrong" refering to history. I swear I couldn'r not be so inconsistent and confusing if I tried. Someone needs to make a video of this guy just contradicting himself constantly. It would be days long.
"We should discount Denver's rebounds because Miami missed a lot of shots" - GOTTA love Nick.
😂😂😂
😂
Best part about that desperation take is he said Miami cant shoot lol
Meanwhile nuggets: shoot 27% from three win by 20
Hmm they missed a lot, wonder how that happens in the nba… defense maybe 😂
Chris Broussard ATE THIS SEGMENT! 🫡🫡🫡🤣😂😂🏆
“Making matters worse if you’re a Heat fan…or Chiefs fan, that has been rooting for the Heat” 😂😂😂
I didn't get this at first.
Facts
"and we´ll be right back" got me good lmao
I love this show but Nick and Broussard's NBA playoff picks have been abysmal. It's so entertaining to see them cling on to the few takes they have left standing
I’ve been thinking the exact same thing over the past couple weeks. Not a nuggets fan but I think this show kinda spearheaded an anti Jokic mvp campaign when he was a legit contender. This show is trendy and other shows like to regurgitate their takes and they’ve abused that.
Theyre such clowns
They are paid for their takes and standing by them. None of their opinions hold any value, on any show, they are purely entertainment and most of them just put on a show.
Their picks might have been bad but nobody picks it right all the time. They get paid either way
@@YodaSmokes they do believe what they say tho
Broussard was cooking Nick up let’s go
Wildes is hilarious but when Brou turns it on it’s pretty funny
Brouto😂
Find someone to love you as much as Nick hates Jokic.
If moving the goalpost was a sport Nick would be the MVP for real.
how is asking jokic to beat the team who beat the guy he thinks is the best in the world "moving the goal post"?
@@anddanny2263 Nick thought Shai could be better than Jokic as recently as the play-in games. Thought Jokic wasn't a top-6 player in the league this year. Had Embiid and Luka ahead of him. Moved the goalposts on him for years including using Jokic subbing himself out of the all-star game against him. Goalpost mover, career idiot.
@@MLBlast40 he said jokic was the worst MVP in the last 25 years too lol
@@MLBlast40 okay but him coming around and saying that jokic is at worst the second best player and if he wins the title he is the best player is literally keeping the goal post consistant with how he measures best player in the league, he didnt say giannis was the best till he averaged 35,13,5 in the finals and won and now that jokic is potentional going to win the finals while putting up crazy numbers he is giving him the same respect, if you wanna argue that nick has been unfair to jokic at times then go ahead but in this instance he is being very consistant
@anddanny2263 ...because the argument that team wins should affect player rankings is completely outdated and primitive. What if Joker plays perfect in the next few games and they still lose? What more could he have done? Both giannis and joker should not be analysed through the lenses of assessing their teams successes because more often than not the supporting cast is what wins a series.
Nick looked up the Shaq and Kobe duo trying to find stats to shred Jokic and Murray just to see these dudes are putting up an even better stat line 😅
Nick really trying to make it seem like Nuggets backs were against the wall 💀💀 oh brother
Ikr they weren't even down it was 1-1
@@cantbelievesome1tookThisIsWolf same guy who said not to overreact after nuggets got one win. he uses all the dirty debate tricks in the book lol
@@marianoortega6725 Remember his boundless optimism for the Lakers series?
I know its his job to hate on the nuggets but Jesus hes terrible
I mean, being down 2-1 on the road against the 8 seed after losing home court is a significantly worse spot to be in than up 2-1 and stealing home court back. I get it wasn’t an elimination game, but game 3 is always a massive game when tied 1-1
2:03 A wise man once said, “You go up and grab the ball off the rim when it comes off, and then you grab it with two hands, and then you come down it, and that’s considered a rebound. So they got more of those than we did.”
Lmao who said that again? It was hilarious but I can’t for the life of me put a face or name to the quote. Sounds like something westbrook would say tho lol
@@Simon_Sez taurean prince
@@Rahharriss never would’ve guessed that in a million years 💀 especially not while he was still at Baylor lol
@@Simon_Sez lmaooo he was a kid in college being dead serious
@@viyangiri6474 I have a whole new respect for him after re-watching it lol
😂😂😂 that olive branch by Brou…
Nick went fast from Jokic being the worst MVP in the last 40 years to Jokic being the best player in the world lmao
I know 😂
Embiid is literally the worst MVP in 40 years because he hasn’t even been to a conf finals let alone NBA Finals
I mean… it was more just saying that he should prove it in the postseason at least once before we give him a third MVP in a row.
@@nathanroon6961 stop. In 2021 before jokic won his first mvp he said jokic was going to be the worst mvp in history, and he thought that Chris Paul was the mvp that year. It was never about “playoff success” and jokic needing to “prove it in the postseason” especially considering how Chris Paul factors into it with his lack of postseason success.
He recently changed his narrative, because his first jokic take was ice cold
his mvp takes on nash and nowitzki at least made sense but never jokics
I LOVE it when Brou gets fired up!!
I don't. It gives me SAS vibes. Brou is better than SAS by far, personally. But Brou does have good takes when fired up. SAS is hit/ miss and gets loud for no reason at times.
@@cameronno6039 I could see where you would get that. I don’t at all. Feel like he’s still getting well thought out points across like you said instead of just shouting the loudest. I really don’t like SAS either lmao.
@@cameronno6039 Brou actually makes logical points though unlike SAS
Brou ate this segment
Nick had his hefty helping of haterade this afternoon 😂
Alliteration
Nick is sick 😂
Leave it to Nick to not know why the Nuggets won, it was not because of their offense it was because of their defense
It's because he doesn't want to admit or acknowledge Joker's offense
It was a mix of both on offense Jokic, Murray, and CB were able to attack the inside of enough for the team to have a decent offensive game even though the threes weren't falling. And then of course their defense was at a much higher level than game 2.
Nickasual Wrong... as ever.
The point of the game is to score more than the other team. So how does the offense not matter?
I like how Nick keeps moving the goalpost for Jokic being the best player.
"Enough, Enough!!' - Nick not wanting to hear how much better the Nuggets are than the (his pick) Heat.
The scariest part was Denver playing much better defence.
If Denver starts hitting 3s they win by 30
Yea I didn’t expect them to out hustle the heat
They realised if you don’t double anyone Miami’s system doesn’t work
Thats with mpj shootin bricks
Nicks so salty
"And we'll be right back" Lmaoooooo
So satisfying watching nick squirm 😅
11:20 was hilarious. I was so skeptical of Kevin when he got on this show but these 3 fit so perfectly together
"Jokic will be the worst repeat MVP ever" Aged like fine.... Milk
“That’s not a trending on Twitter, WILDS TWEETED THAT”
"You dont have access to the Nuggets ' Olive tree when they are your 7th pick to win the title this year" LMAO This show delivers hilarious lines every time 8:40
I love nick, but i've never been more annoyed by him than I am right now. His refusal to give Jokic his credit is downright embarrassing.
He literally just said he may he just as an impactful offensive player as Shaq
@@xcwilliams7980 yet he keeps trying to find ways to discredit him and not give him the flowers
Joker isn’t just “one of the best passers in the league” he’s top 5 all time, let’s not sell him short
Coach Malone put Jokic on the baseline instead of at the free-throw line area on a ton of possessions on game 3 against the Miami zone. Huge difference.
also they broke the zone not by shooting but by penetrating and then making plays
It’s true MPJ, KCP, and BB didn’t contribute much offensively, but their collective D was superb.
They better had did something 😮
This is a great show. Chemistry is perfect 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Shut up and talk about the segment.
At this point, Nick Wrong is so ridiculous that it's just funny.
Who else caught Wildes head turn when Nick said Devin Booker lol 13:24
How does Chris still not follow Wildes on social 😭😂
Miami Heat don't expect to have any easy game, they just keep playing so hard that they don't give up in any game, this is the secret of their success.
Nick can't wait to jump in to talk. Every topic, every episode
Almost like it's his show.
Nick swears he is the GOAT of the cast 🤣
Nick the Mick! Yes dude, that’s how rebounds are made…from missed shots!
"ah i keep forgetting to add you" every episode 😂
I believe just said YESTERDAY that whoever wins game 3 is winning the series and it would be Miami. Well.....series is over then. Nuggets new champs.
Nick has been dead wrong on Jokic for 3 years in a row now (“He’s the worst MVP of the last 35 years” “he’s closer to 5th/6th/7th best player in NBA then number 1” just a couple of his embarrassingly 🚮 comments he’s had) as he’s clearly been an all timer he just had injured and/or last undermanned teams in Playoffs while he was still playin AMAZING in playoffs BEFORE this year (49 games 26, 12, 6, 2stocks, 51/40/83)!
It’s a team game casual. MJ LeBron Kareem Hakeem Big O combined when they didn’t have good TEAMS around them were still amazing in playoffs and made only 2 finals (LeBron 07/18 then got swept in both finals understandably) in like 35 combined years, but Jokic was supposed to make the finals without Murray last 2 years or MPJ last year and the worst bench in NBA?!?! GTFOH
Jokic 2023 Playoffs on 1 of 5 🐐 runs!
#1 in ALL Playoffs in

WIN SHARES
PER

WS/48
Last 3 years in what easily could of been 3 straight MVPs he AVERAGED
26, 12, 9, 2stocks on insane 59/37/83, best analytics by far, best on/off by far!
He’s undoubtedly Top5-25 somewhere in terms of what he’s done from 20-28 years old from an individual accomplishment stand point, statistically, playoff riser, analytically, all around game.
It’s a TEAM game that’s why Jokic only had 1 WCF before 28 years old. He was still an awesome 26, 12, 6, 2stocks 52/40/82 in nearly 50 playoff games. Murray been hurt last 2 playoffs as was MPJ last year. They had no bench. Even this series they still could lose if KCP MPJ continue to shoot 20% from 3 instead of their normal 40% (they’re 5-26 so far from 3 or they’re up 3-0 if they are their normal 10-26 to 12-26 selfs!). MJ first 6 Playoffs was 24-29 in playoff games and never made a finals also. Was 0-5 vs Celtics Pistons even though he was mostly elite in playoffs. TEAMS win titles not individual players!
If KCP MJP were their normal 10-26 to 12-26 from 3 selfs in Finals instead of horrid 5-26 Nuggets up 3-0 right now! Those 2 still need to step up bc if they keep shooting that bad they can def lose 2-3 more games unless Miami super cold also from 3 which you can’t count on.
Giannis & Jokic have both had great arguments as best player in NBA the last 3 years (LeBron had argument in 19-20 and 20-21 pre Solomon Hill injury through 42 games but def not last 2 years since), Jokic just finally has a healthy/good team now around him!
You gotta get a job man.
@@xcwilliams7980 work from home with wife and we make $250K-$350K per year so I’m good! Good looking out though! It’s a free biz opportunity too so let me know if you or someone you know needs a “job” or free side hustle. 🤜🏽🤛🏽
@@superdopehiphop If your making that kind of money please count me in....
Lol nick struggling and stuttering when trying to argue for giannis 😂
Nick and Brou are OUTSTANDING! Best show on TV
Nick took longer to make less points that weren't as good. But I guess that's his job.
Idk how you can hate the nuggets they are the most humble 1 seed team in sports history like cmon now
Nick making fun of Broussard for talking forever is more ridiculous than Broussard offering Nick an olive branch for a team he picked against all year up through every round of the playoffs until they and the only other team he picked somehow even more passionately against all year and every round were the only two teams left.... Nick interjects and talks over EVERYONE! Thats crazy, as crazy as Broussard finding any pride whatsoever in finally picking the nuggets
Nick "Never" Wright saying he wouldn't have voted for Nash yet he wanted to vote for CP0 over Jokic 🙄
Is it just me or is Broussard becoming more unhinged little by little each episode lol
These guys are absolutely brilliant. Love them. The chemistry is out of this world.
Shaq had 8 blocks in that game🔥🔥
Yeah, that's probably equivalent to about 20-30 literal points....not including the intimidation factor on other shots.
props to the guy who found an actual olive branch lol
11:07 is one of the best moments on the best sports show on air. Keep up the good work guys.
Nick is going to ride this BS "the Nuggets can't adjust" to his grave.
He said the same thing after Denver beat the Lakers in game one of the WCF..."LA should be encouraged even in a loss, because Denver can't play defense, the the Lakers can make adjustments while Denver can't change anything" and they swept the f'ing Lakers.
Hey Nick...maybe, just maybe, the Denver coach is also a pretty good coach
Lets not forget that Wilt Chamberlain led the league one year in assist just to show he could.....
Let's not forget when wilt plays the majority of nba players were terrible
@@user-qr9dn5ge1q You are full of it. Younster you never saw them play. I am old and started watching in the NBA in 62. They are more skilled today as the league was young. They flew commercial did not have the training and made very little money. Compared to today.. They had none of the advantages of the modern player. Also defense was so different and no 3 point plays. Assists were counted way different.
Once a player put the ball on the floor it was not an assist. Do not compare generations as it is impossible. All the dribbling you see today was traveling back in the day. Or palming or carying it over. You do not hear those terms anymore. Also you can travel today. They played back in the old days as the rules were written.
No one mentioned Ego Butler getting sonned by rookie Braun.
"Brouto" giving a quote. I'm dead😂😂
Nick getting cooked like July 4th BBQ. Ya love to see it!
That photo got me crying
Unrelated. Max contract on MPJ served so much more value than the one given to Ben Simmons.
I love the Nick Wrong segments😅😅😅
That picture was hilarious
Respect to Bru getting his opinion off lol
No idea why Jokic gets raked over the coals for losing in the first round to the eventual champs but Giannos gets praised for losing to Boston
Great segment!!!
"Brouto" killed me
Miami winning game 2 gave Denver a wake up call. Only way Miami wins another game is if they play as close to perfect as possible imo
Wildes is the GREATEST thing about this show😂😂😂man is hilarious
His “that’s true” look 👀 kills me!
@@gilberthamilton6370 😂😂😂😂
I’m thankful for this show
4:49 “I’ll slap the shyt outta both of y’all” - C. Broussard 😂
Jokic is the best player in the world and has been for 3 years. He also should have been MVP.
💯
The Bucks didn’t lose because Giannis was stopped by Miami’s defense. The lost because the Heat shot like 60% on contested jump shots or something crazy like that. When a team is shooting that well there is nothing you can do.
That's kinda why Miami scares me but also why I'm still impressed by Nuggets. They are winning despicable losing the 3 point game
Bucks lost cuz Giannis got hurt
Exactly. If a team is going to shoot 60% on contested jumpers & 40% from 3 for the series you aren’t going to beat them. Period. If the Heat don’t shoot 45-50% from 3 for the series they’re lucky to win a game.
@@acason4 live by the three u die by the three denver has many ways to score miami only has one which is just shoot threes
"Stop! He's already dead!"
Every Nick fans to Chris probably (if there's any)
I was waitin all day for Broussard to respond to Nicks take yesterday lmao!!
That Shaq & Kobe graphic was so stupid lol
"Brouto" 😂😂😂
giannis has too many glaring weaknesses. never understood why people were saying he was the best years ago.
Name em?
Nick is hilarious in his argument on Joker cause he’s religiously said Bron was the best player in the league by year three and he hadn’t accomplished anything
He went to the finals
@@xcwilliams7980Bron wasnt in the finals in year 3 brah. That was his 4th year.
It shows a great skill in mental gymnastics. 👍
I just came back from the future. It's the year 2035, and CB is still going to Twitter follow Wildes after the show... 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 8:35
You have to love these three. Seriously .. They argue but find a way to have fun. Wildes is such a treadure as well. That tweet comment killed me lol
Christian Braun played great. Love his energy. He knows his role and played it perfectly
He needs to be in the starting lineup if the Nuggets want to insure their championship hopes😊
Man they have some great takes
America please gives respect to Jokić.
Also in 2001, the stacked Lakers faced the underdog AI led 76ers that year.
Nick looked at Broussard like he was crazy when Brou offered him that olive branch 😂
Brou: "Knowledge, baby!"
Jokic is showing he individually cannot be stopped. He is the best player in the world now. Also don't look at FG% to show how efficient a player is. Look at TS% or even eFG%
Good analysis Broussard
I feel like Wildes can easily be in a comedy movie. He has that kind of X-factor
Nick’s stat about Jokic being 1-8 over the two post seasons without Murray is wrong. Nick is only counting the series’ denver lost. Denver beat the trailblazers 4-2 in one of those years so Jokic had 5 wins in those runs without Murray (not 1).
This is the best sport analysis show on tv…nick Wright has truly mastered the craft bcuz Broussard goes over his time every show obviously…but Nick doesn’t get emotional or mad about it and doesn’t miss a beat and that’s masterfully done on his part!!!
Bro this segment is too good
Brou on his prime. Good stuff.
Nick is going for that tuck the hair behind the ear look. Nice.
I recall Nick a few episodes ago saying Murray is a good player not a great player and I commented “very wrong about that” and he just called him a superstar lol
