I’ve never seen a worse player than caveman green get so much airplay.What a joke he better be sending the splash brothers a Rolex for Christmas until the day he dies.
😊@@slaverescuehound3440
"Go to Nick first so I can eat a cookie." 😂 Brou doesn't play about the sweets.
That's a really nice tie, Nick. 🔥🔥
"get to break wildes hurry up" 🤣🤣🤣
@@Slipknot5301 😄 I'm surprised he didn't eat that Mississippi mud pie on air and do the show with chocolate all over his face.
Them crumbles are something serious lol
@@irlshinigami4390 They must be, lol
Nick would coach exactly like Hurley 😂
Except for the winning park.
He doesn't know anything about sports, how would he coach?
@@BigginsInAmericaI’m very confident he knows more about sports then u 😂
@@mattsell2361nah big is right. Dude is an actor not a sports guy
@BigginsInAmerica bruh, it's hypothetical, obviously
No disrespect but Dramond is a clown. His attack on Edey is null because we literally watched him get ejected 4 mins into the Orlando game for no reason.
dray is unfortunate due to being a KlutchsportsBoi, BUT Samson Johnson’s minutes were actually LEGIT game changing, and he only got fouled out because the refs didn’t want him to completely take over the game
Straight up the game was basically over once UConn spammed Johnson’s lob-threat in back-to-back possessions… that is fluid NBA play
draymond was right, and honestly not only did the refs foul out Johnson to save the competitiveness cuz he was gonna take over, but also his fouls can be seen as indicative of him actually PLAYING hard and making his presence felt to instill fear in the opponent
Thank you.... Draymond used to be a lovably scrappy undersized big man with edge who we all loved because he could match up with stars despite his limitations skill wise....now he's just flat out detestable and I wouldn't be upset if tomorrow he was gone from the league altogether
@@yasyas618Johnson has MASSIVE UPSIDE, but his body control needs work. He lacks some fundamentals, but Coach Hurley is fixing that.
@@wayneegli8379 Johnson looked ready to go to NBA with the rest of them 😂 gotta keep the goods if you’re trying to threepeat, tho
but ya… I still love Dray for his scrappy years, and wish we could have an intervention for him to get off the KlutchKoolaid, cuz LeBalco is toxic AF
Dray honestly wasn’t even lacking in skill, he was more so lacking in size when it came to the role that he had to take on. but ya, scrappy players are essential to teams success - like Rodman ;
Dillon Brooks was trying to be that guy, but he unfortunately got ahead of himself, and rather than just letting his game talk until he won… now he has to start over and luckily managed to get an overall redemption arc 😂
Watch edey fall and go to the Warriors!
Did Wildes just come out with a J Cole reference? Lol
Missed it, time stamp?
@@andrewserieys2284 6:20
I mean he literally said the name J Cole so I guess he did
But wildes is always up on the music like that though
I love J Cole but I missed the reference
Honestly… what a show. If these dudes had a 10am slot i honestly think they would rival first take. Love this crew
Wildes with the J Cole shot lol
Nick's tie is incredible.
It jumped out at me immediately. 🔥🔥
That is a quality tie
🔥🔥🔥 Agreed
UConn’s magic lies in the ability of the whole team to execute. Two years in a row gives credit to a capable coaching staff. But the players must be capable of executing the game plan. That is the core of a championship caliber team.
I would love to know how much crumble cookie pays for that advertising
Zero
I truly think it’s zero😂
FCC requires people to disclose sponsorships. It is truly unpaid
Exactly what I was thinking
The difference between UCONN and the other teams is that they are a complete team that doesn't make many mistakes
"Like Lavar Ball! Never lost..." Wildes is amazing 🤣
I will go on record saying that I LOVE when they do the crumbl cookies
"I feel a little JCole-ish"
UCONN IS who KY THINKS they are.
Ky been held back last 5 years because cal made it and stop trying
And what ucla was long ago
Correct: UCONN is who KY thinks they are because they have money....LOL. But fail to realize that it isn't just about money.
Purdue's game plan was also Uconn's game plan.
Purdue: feed Edey the ball
Uconn: let them feed Edey the ball
First things first has come so far man im glad to be here since the beginning the Cris Carter days 😂
Yea man this show is way better now
Crumble Cookies better be paying the show lol they get a lot of free advertising
They’re amazing. They used to send boxes of Cupcakes and cookies to the Stern Show also and got an insane amount of plugs for it
@@jeremy28135 horrendously overpriced
I don’t even like Purdue or Zach Edey, but the amount of hate he gets for almost nothing is insane.
Hate? He’s all the commentators talked about. They just praised him over and over again. We knew he wasn’t going to be the deciding factor in a victory for the title. He’s not NBA material.
Sthi
@@tatt4music Proving the OP's point...
@tatt4music you denied the hate and threw shade at the same time lol
@@tatt4music Idk a lot of people hate on him on twitter
To be fair to Draymond, he is an expert at quitting on your team😂
What a dumb comment. Makes mistakes with his attitude yes but he’s been the heart of that team for almost as long as he’s been there
@@californiapapii322 Carried by Steph and Klay
@@timocruz510it’s crazy how Steph and Klay can say out of their own mouths how important Draymond is and dummies like Timo will still spew out dumb statements.
You get 4 rings by quitting?
@@mickfoley9578 he’s a casual clearly.
Wilds with the JCole Reference is crazy 😂🤦🏿♂️
Crazy how UCONN can recruit to Storrs. It's just cows and snow.
100%. I grew up less than 30 minutes from the UCONN campus. There are no distractions whatsoever lol. If you go there it's all about ball, which is a selling point for a certain kind of player..
@@tjbanville true.
Best show on sports. Let's go!
As a 24 year old guy and a casual college hoops fan, UConn seems like a S tier college team along with duke, Kentucky etc
Big thing about UCONN is they've won NCAA titles under three different coaches.
The strategy of going one on one with Edy only worked because they had a pretty good 7'2" center on him. They wore him down and kept him busy on defense otherwise he would have scored at lot more and had more rebounds. Part of UCONN's plan was to out run Purdue and wear them down - that's what UCONN does, also it's what Hurley said he would do at the half.
Nick has gotten better with his debates over the years
Crazy championship run
Great take at the end by Wildes
J Cole stray was golden
Dan Hurley got that style of coaching from his dad. Sr. Ask anyone that played at St. Anthony
Great conversation fellas
Brou seems to always "have talked to a guy" 🤣🤣
It's crazy to see a team shooting and making so few three pointers almost a quarter into the 21st century. It's like watching a different game.
To only take 7 is insane. How did an asst coach not bring that up at half or during the game?!
UConn is a blue blood idc what anyone says 6 national championships since 1999 and counting, only UCONN can say that
Colleges haven't figured out the spacing/volume of 3s math like NBA. UConn kinda did which can somewhat explain their win margins
Agree with everything you typed. But, I also think college basketball doesn't want to adapt. Why is there no 3 second rule and why are they still playing halves lol? UCONN plays very modern but the college game itself feels antiquated at times. That's why a lot of these college bigs and players specifically dominate college but can't find any playing time in the NBA because the games are so different. Even with college football recently if you win the Heisman you probably end up being a decent NFL player because some of the schemes and philosophies between NFL and College Football are similar. NBA and College Basketball feel drastically different at times.
Why would the Spurs want Edey clogging the lane on offense when throwing the ball to Wemby at the rim is so effective? Or clogging driving lanes or inhibiting pick and roll opportunities for Wemby and another ball handler? Look how poorly things went with Wemby playing alongside a non-shooting big in Zach Collins.
As much as I don’t like Collins he can shoot it pretty good. Something Edey can’t do
@@360carter3 Collins is shooting 31% from three this season.
In America....if you are not the popular majority...you are wrong! Even when you're the expert and the people judging are not.
Nick's Draymond take was one of his best imo
I never heard of Kevin W. Before he joined this show and he has been one of my favorite sports media guys since. Always a good laugh with him!
Brou: It's called coaching
Wildes: 😯
UCONN = Basketball capital of the world
Draymond: “When I called LeBron a bad word and got suspended, that’s the moment I knew we were going lose a 3-1 lead in the finals”
I hate to see teams lose but hey congrats to the champs
Nice to hear CT guy Kevin Wildes representing!!!
This is the best show on American television.
Agreed
Brou was legitimately excited yesterday when they said the word “crumbl”
FTF trying to fight my man Hoang Bi with 23 minute videos now
UCONN BABY!!!
We’ve won a lot in the last two decades than duke, unc, and Kentucky and yet still are under hyped and still aren’t a draw for these high school prospects
Let em hate Ct ain't going anywhere
We get kids that want to come here. We don't need All Americans. We do it with top 200 level recruits and a few top 25-50.
Most NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championships since Tournament Expansion to 64 teams in 1985: UConn 6, Duke 5, North Carolina 4, Kansas 3, Kentucky 3, Villanova 3.
Most Final Fours All-Time:
NORTH CAROLINA 21, UCLA 18, KENTUCKY 17, DUKE 17, KANSAS 16…………UCONN 7.
@@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13 yup and only two schools have more titles but when UConn goes it's a gearinted Win, highest win percentage of all time and 3rd in titles, 1st in the last 25 years. Dominate.
Congrats to UConn. I have no idea why dook and uk are even being talked about. Welcome to the six club. Still GDTBAT!
Wildes saying he feeling a lil J Cole-ish is the highlight of this vid 😂🤣
Thank you for your take on Draymond Nick
Hold up!!!! Let Wildes COOK!!😂
That was a coaching masterpiece by Hurley. I like his attitude. Would love to play for him
Dray sticking up for his fellow Triple Singler
😄
And fellow champion
Wildes got a great point about Lebron
Half the Country.. Didn't See IT 😮
the BEST sports show
San Antonio could develop Edey.
Hurley is gonna use this as more motivation 🤣
I think Edey could go behind Val for a couple years in New Orleans and eventually take that starting spot.
Heck not my team go to the warriors or the spurs
Nick really hit brou with the "multiple sources" meme
Listen, idk how many times I felt the Purdue guards got to the rim or had an open shot and pump faked/passed out.
Masai needs to get our boy Zach and not treat him like Delano.
Take a shot every time Nick calls out Bru's sources
Brou just waiting for the segment to end so he can dive into them cookies again.
😂
Can I get a full segment with Wildes' mouth full of Crumbl Cookie pls
Its time to realize that in the modern era of college basketball parity Uconn is the best program in the nation. Period. The acconplishment is better and has eclipsed all those basketball Legendary Schools. Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ucla, whoever is no longer the story. Uconn is the basketball program.....the best ever. Its a fact. Period.
Cole is the GOAT! Had the hip hop world talking about his diss, has the world talking about his apology.. One thing people don't understand is this might be the best rollout for a album ever
Edey did not give up , he was gassed
Best show!!
Broussard should allow others to complete their thoughts before either refuting or agreeing with them.
In other words, please refrain from interrupting.
@9:26 it's because Uconn is the best run program in the country. Also Kevin Ollie's team was the last "Jim Calhoun" team, people are soon to forget. Jim Coached a few of those key players 2 years, including Shabazz. And Shabazz was part of the Kemba team even though he didn't really play. So I see that one as less of an accident. Ollie wasn't a bad game coach in fact his downfall was he put no work in outside of practices and games. Also Jim Calhoun's team was excellent from 1996 basically up until they won that 2014 championship. Only a couple soft years and they probably would have won another title in the 2007-09 era if they didn't have an unfortunate injury in the Elite 8 game.
And I will add unlike UNC or Duke or Kentucky, Uconn doesn't get 5 star recruits every other year let alone every year. Yes they get 5 star recruits but not every single year. Why? Because they don't have the "history". Except for Duke the history starts in 88 and that 5 year run cemented them as a "Blue Blood" before they even had 3 titles. I'm not criticizing UNC, Duke, or Kentucky, but you have to respect Uconn's ability to make the most of what they have every year.
Also Hurley is obviously a great coach. The Calhoun teams basically won 4 titles, but it took Calhoun 4-5 years to settle into his role at Uconn. The same thing is true for any coach that isn't in a UNC, Duke, or Kentucky level program when it comes to the quality of recruits.
Also this is a new era with the NIL and Uconn has the first two championships of a new era. They should be able to leverage this for years.
Don't love how Hurley is trying to make people hate the team though. Uconn has not been unlikeable by most for being such a dominant team.
CRUMBLE COOKIES FTW!!
I think Dray was saying Eidy mightve known at that time we gonna lose so let me eat and get my numbers. If it gets close im sure he wouldve changed his mindet but thats my interpretation.
I would be surprised if Chiefs dont win 2 or 3 more. Rare time i agree with Nick.
3 is the number...winning more than that seems harder....
21:29 people forget Alex Len was a #3 pick. Same game as edey. That’s my comp for him. Serviceable but not a starter. Imo
I cant wait till Edey gets to post up Draymond. He has no shot
Nick gets upset with any coach that shows a shred of personality and passion 🙄
It’s a take away from his mentor Colin Cowherd
i think it was after the elite 8, beating a good illini team with ease, is when I started thinking they're gonna do it again
Ah Wildes with his wild takes. Thinking that if you're the best player on the team that won the natty, you should be the #1 pick. God bless him...
purdue in this game felt like bmore playing kc in the afc championship game
They say teams give up on coaches all the time Whats the difference
Still a Heels fan baby 👊
Draymond is 100% right. Edey wasn't the same in the whole second half
Edey belongs in Portland with Ayton at the 4!
6 and 0 in championship games. They get there, they win. Great team
Go UCONN!
Best show our rn
Definitely...if you put this team in the 80's and 90's era, they would be competitive but not back to back champions. They have ruled in this era however.
Of course Draymond shitting on the dude who carried a subpar team against the super team rooting against the best player, lmao shocking
I got almost 80% of my pics wrong but I did pick UConn to win it all. I still did not win any money though lol.
Castle is going to be an iggy type player
This UCONN team is the 10th or 11th greatest college team EVER very impressive
Edey did sit for a very small bit of time. He did not play the whole game.
I would pay good money to see nick as a coach, donned in bling and filpping the lid on live tv
All I know is #1 pick will be Edey.
Wildes called it, he said UConn by double digits, the prognosticator is back, just in time for NBA playoffs
UCONN HAVE 11 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP WOMEN GINO AURIENNA 6 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP MEN
😂😂😂 Get to break Wildes hurry up!!! Break didn’t come fast enough
