“I dont think anyone’s ever said that to you, you’re making that up” 😂😂😂😂
I have noticed Damonza sometimes floats some wild take to Nick on air to get him all worked up. I would imagine it’s the production team feeding him things to say😂😂
@@Pipsqueak- Or he just knows exactly how to push his buttons from years of practice lol
After Denver lost to Golden State in 5 games without Murray & Porter, Jr: “Does anybody actually think that this team, that is gonna get swept by Golden State, if they had Jamal Murray & Michael Porter, Jr, who is a big question mark, that they’re Title favorites? You are not Jamal Murray away from being this bad…Jokic plus Jamal Murray plus the unknown that is Michael Porter, Jr is Not winning the Championship.”
It took only the very next season to prove all those takes incorrect. Forget whether someone just didn’t want NJ to skip steps. Someone said that a healthy Nugget team was NOT winning the championship. Wrong, wrong wrong.
Broussard and Nick have been getting killed for their Wolves takes when they was up 2-0 😭
For literally saying “it was on the table” that they got swept. It’s insane how much hate nick gets like literally EVERYBODY saw Denver inexplicably looked like a completely different team for the first two games and knew if they kept playing like that they were going to
Check last week's show chat.
It seemed Denver fans spent 90% talking about the Lakers series😂😂😂
This week it's all about Denver Wolves
@@nathanmanchester1967
Be honest bro, Luka been a fraud this playoff run but he aint keepin that same energy.
He was extremely wrong on all of his Jokic hot takes from a couple years ago, and coupled with the fact now Jokic has sent home his idol now twice in a row means that Nick gonna be foaming at the mouth at any Jokic misstep.
@@flash012234 you’re definitely right about luka. He’s keeping real quite about if he fails this hard against a team this young how it will affect his legacy. And don’t get me wrong I do want to see him be a bit harder on his favorite players
But the thing that annoys me is it actually seems like he’s owning up to his wrong takes and is trying to give jokic the credit he deserves. Like when they were 0-2 he wasn’t definitively keeping him out of his top 10 simply it would have been been on the board
It’s so cool that they do this weekly. I’m sure it’s amazing for them as father and son, especially since they live across the country from one another. Truly very nice to see them enjoying each other’s company on these podcasts.
Nick laid out a way to diminish Jokic. It’s what he does. If it’s a player he supports, he lays out how amazing what they accomplish would be, if it’s a guy like Jokic who he hates, he lays out the path of failure and how it will ruin their legacy.
And that’s anyone with ANY threat to Lebron greatness/legacy.
@@matthewcolwell6593you think Jokic is a threat to lebrons legacy?
Facts he literally said Kyrie had 9 points but played exceptional 😂
@Kangaroo stat wise he's a threat! Go and look up the all time stats like PER,BPM,win share per 48, offensive box plus minus, defensive box plus minus,offensive rating.
He's above lebron in all these all time stats..
He already surpassed lebron in triple doubles and probably gonna finish all time leader in triple double and potentially he'll have more MVPs than LeBron too!
@@elmehdinafia1237 let’s relax here. Stats only matter so much, obviously they have to contribute to winning. And Jokic has only made the conference finals twice in his entire career so far. Bron made the finals ten times in a row…. It’s just not close. And honestly with his post season resume, Jokic is beginning to look like one of the most overrated mvps in history. How are you gonna be a part of a historic group of guys to win 3 mvps and not have the resume to back it up. It’s making the award meaningless. Hopefully he adds to his trophy cabinet before he retires so it doesn’t look so bad.
And on a side note, if the regular season dominance actually mattered, we’d all have James harden and Carmelo a lot higher all time than we do.
@Production crew... can we work on volume level consistency? I often try to listen in the car and the levels are up and down a lot so difficult to hear sometimes.
Demonza is usually half the volume of Nick
The ONLY reason jokic got eliminated early in the other mvp seasons was because Jamal Murray didn’t play. Nick always forgets that
No he remembers, but if Joker is so Jamal dependent how good all time is he?
He can't force a team to 6 or 7 games in the playoffs without your 2nd best guy?
LBJ pushed the fully healthy Warriors to 6 games without Kyrie and Love in the Finals.....
Giannis pushed Celtics to gm7 without Khris Middleton
@@Kruppt808well considering jokic just dropped 40 and 13 with no turnovers, I don’t think him going out early is on him. I forgot to mention that they didn’t have MPJ either. Missing 2/4 best players will cause any team to go out to talented teams
Go out and get swept are two different things.
If Joker is as good as you or others have been saying he was why couldn't he offer any resistance when he had the less talented team?
Does he always have to have the best team to even be competitive?
Seems like it's two different standards 😕 🙄 🤔
Give him his flowers as all time great when he plays great, when he didn't oh well he didn't because XYZ
Nick didn’t make a pick for this game cause he couldn’t go against the nuggets for the 4/5th time in a row. He’s already said that’s he’s backing the mavs if it’s a mavs nuggets final.
He’s similar to Skip Bayless. They have one good take because they latch onto their Hall of Fame quarterback and then everything else they say is just wrong but they’re popular because the Hall of Fame quarterback is so good so it makes them sound smart. But look up those non chiefs takes He’s way below .500
Congrats Nick still rich AF and you some dude on the Internet 🤣
@joshuathompson3325 don't worry, be clappy😅
@@musestarlight1 great response 👏.
@@joshuathompson3325nick hosted his own show and has risen through the entire industry before Mahomes ever joined the NFL…
Shoutout from Portugal 🫶🏻
Luka laying into the refs is the new McEnroe throwing tennis tantrums, they both clearly injected the player with more energy and competitive edge, but they are also very clearly flaws that are especially annoying to the viewer
I don't even watch the games but just from listening to people describing how he plays is annoying 😂😂
@@Kruppt808 he's an absolute superstar who is gifted beyond measure - but yeah, even his most ardent fans say his complaining is annoying
anytime someone complains too much for a call - my favorite thing is when the other team gets an easy bucket primarily because the diva(s) didn't run back to play defense.
@@Kainteeka yep, and it's happened a lot with Luka - at some point he'll need to grow up
@@gregorcollins For sure. I'm not even close to pretending NBA refs are good. But if you don't get the call - get back on D.
Thought the guy on the right was pj Washington for a sec😂
Nick: “Alright stop”
Classic Nick Line …..😂😂😂
Jokic has truly become to Nick what LeBron has been for Skip. He'll try to set him up to fail whenever he can.
Nick spent 15mins on his last podcast talking about the scenarios of Jokic getting swept after winning MVP now it’s time to play the that never happened game 😂
He said he responded and gave him props wtf else do you want him to say
These guys in the comments are here to talk about how much they dislike Nick. Y’all are real clowns…truly lack comprehension
@@kingjonesiii6832 you can like Nick and still acknowledge the satire when he is joking about not saying something that he clearly discussed for an entire segment… I love Nick. He also clearly is wrong about this series 😂 two things can be true
@arutz24 as he didn't pick tye Wolves idk why would he be wrong.
He laid out what's on the board potentially if they get swept or lose in 5.
He said he actually expected Denver to fight back which is exactly what happened.
@@Kruppt808 you don’t spend all that time researching stats for something you don’t think will happen
he had all kind of numbers and stats .. he was basically making the argument before it even happened
Nick has laid out the perfect scenario for himself. Set expectations for Jokic, when he doesn’t meet them, rip him, when he does simply say “I expected a 3 time mvp to show up!” Skip has been running this play with Lebron for years it’s almost poetic for a Lebron stan to take up the mantle 😂😂
I like how Joker and Giannis gets these “dings” but Embiid being bounced in second round or less 7 straight years doesn’t get a ding at all.
There is some truth to that, for sure.
But I think Nick and most people don't put the same respect on Embiid's name and potential because of the injury history and lack of comparative(mvp/ring) success.
Giannis and Jokic are seen as playing for top 15 finishes, but not Embiid
Favorite part of this podcast is the 90 second countdown. Super glad you leave it in👏
Need to go back and see what Nick was saying about lebron possibly being swept again!!
Was LeBron MVP this year then your point is BS bro you don't listen apparently
@@musestarlight1 he wasn’t but he is the GOAT apparently with another top 10 player against one MVP and nothing else supposedly!!
@@rossdoonan6220how are you alive with that much brain rot
Nick don’t worry about the podcast ratings mate. You’re an entertaining host but a lot of your podcast takes have naturally already been said on FS1, this is always going to hurt your podcast outreach and popularity but isn’t indicative of the quality of the episodes, keep it up 👍
I just don't think it's ever gonna be huge like other podcast people ones.
This is a side gig while some of the others are full time. He's already on TV so idk where he is gonna get up to 250k, 500k subs.
If he keeps on doing those going live on NBA teams fan things like he did with the Warriors maybe
Master of word games.
Seaton: I love the show, best time of the week.
Nick: Thank you, and No Show for you!
Nick is a savage. 😂
So let me get this right: Nick thinks sweeping the lakers in the WC finals and a year later gentlemen sweeping them again in the playoffs is less significant then being swept in 2 playoff series 4 years apart? OK Nick.
An interesting question: in relation to club superstar, is there a chance Caitlin Clark makes it in?
She needs to be
I think so. I mean, she’s a superstar In her respective sport. Unless he limits it to just the NBA. But he put Caleb in Mahomes mountain lol.
We need to know what the committee is thinking
@@danmorse2002 I agree, she’s forcing the league into bigger stadiums. If she maintains what she did in college, she’s going the be the Jordan (not necessarily the best ever, but the game changer for popularity) of women’s basketball.
I was thinking that as well, if she wins mvp or increases viewership crazy % maybe increases club capacity or start a WNBA Club Superstar
I need to know what Jokic said or did to Nick
Beat the Lakers 2 years in a row lol
Won an mvp before his large adopted slovenian son
Hey can you tell Damonza to learn how to talk? You’re on your fathers podcast which is a pretty big deal in the sports world, thanks
Everyone remembers the injuries involved for Steph’s for title
Not really. It's glossed over.
More is made of the Raptors winning a ring because Klay and KD got massively injured than Cavs/LBJ taking on the Warriors with little else.
Hey Nick, during game 4 between the Cavs vs Celts , the Celtics radio broadcaster mentioned you. He said you were right that Reggie Miller was only 13-39 at MSG. The place he had his worst winning %.
I have in my life, NEVER seen a melt down like last night
Denver in game 2 vs the Wolves.
Your 2nd best player was literally throwing stuff and saying the refs were bribed with the $ sign
Lukas banged up ( but no excueses...but he's hurt so that's why he's off) and yelling at the refs every play ......sounds like Tatum during the finals run especially that Miami series ....glad you still calling Luka out like y'all did to Tatum
So if the nuggets are on a bucks trajectory, does this mean Nick expects the wolves to go through?
Wolves are breaking out and haven't won a championship again you ppl don't listen you just talk
for the first time ever, Nick acknowledged Shai! incredible. he's been better than Luka for two seasons. glad he's finally catching on.
he has talked more about Shai throughout the years than most Sports take people because of his disdain for the Clippers. He has compared what each team got for that PG trade.
Bro these producers working against Nick I swear 😂 they come up with questions to get Nick upset but they’re (usually) just logically bad questions
Never heard of this Daniel guy before Denver Nuggets were good.
Now he keeps chirping to Nick, no word from that guy last week when his team was down 0-2 and Jamal should have been suspended for gm3( I still think Nuggs win).
If they gonna include Daniel, make him available win or lose.
It's annoying otherwise.
What a muppet
The one time Lamar beat the chiefs is when CEH fumbled the game away while in FG range
Nick wants the Mavs to win so bad, they’ll be down 15 in the 4th quarter of game 6 and he’ll still say they’re going to win
I like how he didn't mention the fact burrow has been hurt going into every season 😂😂😂 might contribute to the slow starts aye there bud
Nobody cared when Mahomes was on 1 leg vs Benegals than Philly.
Or when his o line was missing vs Brady in the SB.
Can't do the Steph Curry thing blowing 3-1 lead to the Cavs, Warriors win Curry is fine. Warriors lose ohhh Steph is hurt.
@@Kruppt808 alright one burrow is not mahomes obviously a hurt mahomes is gonna be better then a hurt burrow so dumb comparison and when he was on one leg the Bengals were missing 4 starting offensive lineman 😂 so it evens out and he got stomped when his o line was trash so idk why you brought that up....
@@Kruppt808 and your curry thing is dumb to people said if Raymond got suspended they would of won not curry being hurt😂
Rockets were without Patrick Beverly, Memphis was without Marc Gasol in 2015 playoffs
Better (%) scorer: SGA
Better defender : SGA
Basketball is a two-way game and it's not about volume but efficiency. Luka has not been better than SGA for the past 2 years (at least).
In advanced statistics Jokić is the best last four years.
@@Ms777Lena I didn't mention Jokic. The comparison is between Shai and Luka.
SGA aint rebounding and play making like Luka. SGA has yet to have a 50, 60, 70 point game like Luka.
@@user-tt1hx2nm4p that's volume. If SGA takes 30 shots he'll score 50+. It's not even a question. Luka is a stat padder by the way.
Winning is what's important. Not volume or efficiency.
And volume has always been more respected than efficiency. Just look at Jordan before he ever won anything. He wasn't leading in efficiency just in volume. And what really mattered was when he started winning.
And Luka has won more than Shai.
How many times has your boy Lebron been swept?
3 times in his career, 06-07, 17-18, and 22-23
My favorites nick Wright Shannon Trevor lane and joy Taylor 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Porzingas is missing, Celts are overcoming something at any rate
Jimmy was missing 1st round, Mitchell and Jared Allen missing games in 2nd round.
Celtics have the easiest path to a chip since the 60s.
Murray and Luka are already hurt, the Western team might be missing a better player than Kristaps
isn't it kind of weird to talk about how quarterbacks play against each other? Like Mahomes plays against the Ravens defense, not their offense? and Lamar plays against the Chiefs defense so of course he hates playing them, their defense is top tier.
In before the game starts… ant man finally has a rough night, KAT shrinks as usual and nuggets blow them out. Minnesota loses a close game 6
Bronny getting drafted is total nepotism. Would not even get a look if not for daddy.
"45 minutes sharp"
*checks length of video*
nice try Nick lol :D
He's just taking those of us who listen in 1.25x into account 😂
@@yelsu3358nick wright is that you
@vvsmixing nick is definitely someone who listens to podcasts in more than normal speed given how fast he talks, so maybe I am him
@@yelsu3358 i was saying how he always has a reason for when he predicts something wrong 😂😂 But that too
Could be wrong but show me where an athlete ever in modern times had a preexisting heart issue and didn’t suffer from a spur of the moment cardiac arrest that was ever medically cleared to play professional sports AND a team was willing to sign them. I say all this to say that I think that boy got into a bad batch, had a heart issue, learned his lesson and the money and influence kept it quiet. If you disagree just tell me of an athlete in modern times that didn’t have their career cut short by *preexisting* heart issues.
I really enjoy Nick on FTF and here on the pod, but for the life of me, why does he never acknowledge the health and quality of those rosters Jokic was on in his early playoff exits? To my eye, there’s just no nuance in his (Nick’s) Jokic critique, but I know he’s capable of doing the calculus there, as I’ve seen him give nuanced critiques of other players of Nikola’s ilk in the past.
It is similar to his takes on LeBron the year the lost to the Warriors with Kyrie and Love out. He does not give the same pass to Jokic for those years the nuggets were dealing with injuries. It is an inconsistency from Mr. Consistency.
Lebron also got swept by the Warriors in the finals. The supposed 'best player of all-time' couldn't get ONE win at home.
Last time Jokic was knocked from the playoffs with Murray was in the bubble.. context matters! So I really don't like his gaslighting..
No one has ever given LeBron that grace or when he carried scrubs, why would he give Jokic that excuse?
@@theAttris Nick has though. That’s the point.
Unpopular opinion: I loved the entire idea of this show for Nick...doing something with his son (which is probably the dopest thing ever), openly acknowledging the nepotism...but am I the only one that doesn't think Demanze is that good of a cohost? Like, in the beginning its like, ok, he's new, he doesn't know what he's doing, he'll get better. But at this point, its like he just reads cards written for him by other people, and he seems to know almost nothing about sports...which is cool, if you have like a super fan angle or something. But it seems like he is just there most shows.
Like, I get it...your stepdad is the boss, so you get to have the job (which is hella dope, and exactly how it should be). But, couldn't you do some research or something? Seem somewhat knowledgable on the topics that you guys are talking about?
Or is that the point? Like, its Nick just talking to someone who doesn't know much about sports.
He's actually denying that he brought out the broom for the Nuggets?
Howcome you don't criticize lebron the same way for his sweeps?
Is Lebron still playing? Nick, there are other players in the league
What's the point of the other guy being there, he always looks like he's half asleep.
Can't wait for the Cheifs to start 0-2
The lakers have one of the worst front officea for a big market not one big name wants to go two
Thunder 2-2 nowwwwww
The reason that the pod might be struggling is because you talk about Lebron ALL THE TIME. C'mon man. I'll be back when Football season starts.
We will miss your aura josh
Bro with the striped shirt sounds like he's asleep still smh
Like #700
I'm getting tired of Luka antics... do what the other greats have done, and stop complaining
almost unwatchable, maybe they could trade off making any effort on these?
Did Nick watch this game? Kyrie was actually the Mavs' best player game 4. He was constantly getting doubled and made great decisions every time. He wasn't as great down the stretch in the 4th but overall Kyrie was good this game.
Yeah four for 11 and Kyrie got outscored by a dude named Jay Williams what a game lmfao
@@musestarlight1 Did you watch the game or you just going off the box score? Some guy name Jay Williams? J Dub is an excellent player although he had an awful shooting game. Essentially everyone had a sub par game besides SGA who was amazing.
@@musestarlight1 u dont kno ball
how would it have not been washington or even gafford? before okc started they're 2 runs late pj was making crucial shots to stop momentum and so was gafford lol he had a great open dunk every time momentum was about to swing to okc , kai was js flat out bad late for us but definitely kept us afloat throughout the momentum shift
Kyrie fans always have a cope for why it's not his fault. I guess if you are ok only getting 9 points from Kyrie fing Irving then enjoy
Nuggets won “A” championship and people act like they can’t be criticized for bad play. Come on now.
For how often Nick loves to talk about his picks and how right he is, refusing to pick the series before AND after watching 4 games is laughable behavior
So is you making this dumb comment.
I said it forever.. Nick son is THE WORST I ever seen in this realm.. he sucks fr and holds back the show
He never has anything to add. He is always saying some bs when he does speak. He JUST stopped learning not to mumble ...like bro I know he's ur son but put him behind the scenes sheesh
With respect to Damonze, I have a strong feeling his role is to host and not discuss much. Many of the questions are scripted. If you pay attention to other episodes, Nick often leads Damonze to the questions and says things like “Oh Damonze didn’t you want to talk about…?” leading him to a topic Nick wants to discuss. The show is called “What’s WRIGHT, with NICK WRIGHT” lol. Most “shared” podcasts have a neutral name not a persons name… twice.
@@JacobParsons-vu2gp how u gonna host and u can't read? He even struggles to read... it's so bad!
It’s not really formatted as a debate show, but he has disagreed with a couple of Nicks takes but the show isn’t really made for him to explain his views on things
Is there something about this episode in particular? I wrote a very similar comment before I saw yours. Its like...he just doesn't know anything and doesn't add to the show...but also its like he hasn't gotten much better over the course of the last couple of years. I love that he is working with his son and giving him a shot...but its like...he should be doing better, right?
@@OgoseauxI don't think anyone expects Demonze to have elaborate opinions or nuanced insight...but I think we expect him to have a working knowledge of the topics that they are covering. it doesn't need to he a debate, but maybe a discussion. and he has to be able to contribute for there to be a discussion, and he doesn't. it seems more like a lecture, with Nicks son sitting there. Like, honestly, is there any difference in the episodes when nick is sitting by himself?
