“Nuggets move on.” Lol. Nick in absolute shambles.
Starting the pod of with “This could be the last playoff game of the greatest nba player of all time” like every time he’s wrong he doubles down on the delusional lebron goat narrative
I know and I love it 😀 😅😂
@@Nick-jy7ozFacts hurt huh?

@@tylerholt6828 - If you take Nick Wright seriously, how would you know anything about facts?? 💀💀💀
The Rick Brunson story made my day so much better lmaooo
Nick said close sweep!
Nick had to wear his KC shirt to cope, lol…
Bro talked about Bron for 20 straight minutes
Almost like he’s the GOAT
@@MonsterIcee Who lost, and thus should really not be the topic at this point. Otherwise why not bring up Pele or Gretsky while you are at it.
@@SolarStarVanity ? Did you not listen to Nicks points or are you too biased to even care
@@MonsterIcee exactly this. they dont actually engage with the content in any capacity. too stupid to keep up. dont bother trying to communicate with them
@@MonsterIceehe ain’t
I love my mans damonza but he gotta stop mumbling lol
37 min on a gentleman’s sweep that was never a doubt and 5 min on Ant.
Ridiculous
Man, if Curry had Anthony Davis, Steph would "impact winning" way more than he currently does. Cmon man, geez!
Here come the mental gymnastics. He’s resorted to Daniel Gafford as the difference in this series 🤣😭😭.
🤡🤡🤡🤡
Man I literally bursted into hysterical laughter. This man refuses to face reality
Nick is coming dangerously close to talking basketball.
What if Denver drafted Bronny 😂😂😂
I don’t know how much you know about Soccer Nick but the best comp for Jamal Murray is Chelsea’s Didier Drogba. He only scored 20 premier league goals twice in his 9 seasons with Chelsea (20 is the mark of a top striker generally) but his record in cup finals is astonishing with 9 goals in 10 cup finals, including a last minute equaliser in a champions league final which they went onto win on penalties with him scoring the winning penalty. Ultimate big game player
Love the editing and how Damonza set up the detective bit lmao i think its great when he plays a character in the segment intro
Nick Wright is my favorite better than screaming Stephen a Smith and skip brainless 😊
Skip Baseless is what I call him lol
The closest thing I can find to Jamal Murray is Julian Edelman he barely managed 1000 yards 3 times but is near the top in multiple playoff categories and even has a SB MVP
The comp for Murray is Memo Ochoa. An average goalkeeper who never even played for big clubs in Europe, however when he plays for the Mexican national team especially in World Cups, he's an absolute wall in goal.
LeQueen, the LGBTQ leader of BLM
Miroslav Klose
Lmao that's an incredible comp
That was a nice comp. I was like “how you gonna compare soccer to basketball,” but yeah that dude became legend simply because when the lights got bright, he suddenly left earth. And yet never won individual accolades
@@kppowell6157 yep, to be honest the whole not an all star is such a fake argument I’m pretty sure he’s one of the 5 best SG in the league. Dude gets injured a lot.
Dmonze looking like he puffed before the show hahaha
LeQueen, the LGBTQ leader of BLM
he always do the show stoned. hella unproffesional
Do you guys remember when DeMonze wore sun glasses? 😂😂😂😂
@christianmoreno3585 have you ever thought people like his stoney comments? "Professionalism" 🤡 this is a product. If they see a cost-benefit from him being stoned, let him be.
can he stop whispering or pull the mic closer??? Nick has to realize this
Longevity is the biggest argument for lebron cuz as Nick so eloquently said:
Number 1 among all time greats in
Regular season and post season games played most points regular season and postseason etc etc etc…..
however…. I never really looked at MJs career and think of it as short….
Came into the league at 21 after 3 years of college….
Played 9 seasons with the bulls wins 3 rings and 3 fmvps 2 mvps 7 scoring titles and a dpoy shocks the world and says yeah basketball has nothing left to offer me… (you can argue his dad died, gambling suspension, etc doesn’t matter)…. Goes and plays baseball for nearly 2 seasons…
Comes back drops 55 on the knicks but they lose to magic due to some costly plays…
First full season back he has arguably the best season start to finish of any player ever…
72-10 record
30-6-4-2 on 49-43-83 splits
Wins mvp, scoring title and first team all defense
Wins the chip vs a 62 win Sonics team
Does he rest on his laurels…
Nope
Wins another 2 chips to complete his second 3 peat
To bring his trophy case to
6 chips, 6 fmvps, 5 mvps, 1 dpoy, 10 scoring titles, 3 steals titles, 2 separate three peats, the all time regular season wins record etc….
At age 35 Jordan calls it quits for the second time…
At age 35 he was still 29-6-4 on 47% Fg… en route to the chip etc..
I bring that up cuz I don’t expect him to all of a sudden drop to 20 ppg the following season had he not retired….
The fact that at age 40 he was still able to average 20 playing all 82 games is proof enough that had he not retired he would’ve had a couple more 25+ ppg seasons….
Can’t wait for Wildes take! 😎
I seriously don’t believe anyone actually thinks LeBron and AD aren’t better than Jokic and Murray. The true difference is while Jokic is better than LeBron or ad he also actually makes the guys around him play the best versions of themselves. LeBron takes away from the cast around them and that’s facts that numbers can probe
I just spit straight fire to the opening one minute and 20 seconds of this intro. This beat goes hard, Nick! You need to get someone to write something for you. I promise you.
Trae Young was 22 in 2021 when ATL made the ECF. I know it didn't really happen but it did 😂
The closest comp to Jamal Murray is playing in the NBA right now. His name is Jimmy Butler.
Butler has been an All Star multiple times. But that probably wouldn't be the case if he played
his entire career in the Western conference. Butler also increases his production immensely
in the playoffs compared to the regular season.
LeBron was 28-7-9 in this playoff series. He's still playing at an insanely high level. Post All-Star break only Jokic & Luka have played better.
If he wants to win his 5th title then the Sixers & Knicks makes sense. Sixers haven't won a title in over 40 years, Knicks haven't won a title in over 50 years. If he wins a chip with either, it would greatly enhance his legacy.
Yep still playing at a very high level hats off to him
Stat padding...
Same problem exists he has no go to move in his bag to take over the game late. Just a walk up 3 and a football plow to the basket no in between
All you do is follow box score stats??
LeQueen, the LGBTQ leader of BLM
You have to give Nick credit I never would’ve guessed three years ago that he’d be the guy that appreciates Joker the most in the main stream media
Mention the free throw disparity Nick. Lakers have 3x more free throws in past few years than the 2nd closest team. Your friend Wiles points it out. Its not as close as your Clutch Sports narrative wants to imply. The refs kept it close and then let the outcome be decided in the final few minutes.
The Lakers get bounced in 5 and Nick spends 20 minutes talking about LeBron
Lakers missed as many FT's as Nuggest attempted all game
Sayin Bron played B- to A level defense this series is just insane lmao. He gave up so many orebs and backcut buckets
So two top 10 Lakers could beat 1 top 10 in Jokic? Another choke
The closest Jamal comp I can think of is maybe an Edelmen or Welker to Jokic's Brady
EDIT: edelman came up later in the episode, my bad
Nick is unbelievable. You cant start saying the Lakers had a chance to make a deep playoof run and then say the roster wasnt good enough.
Julian Eldemen for the Jamal Murray Comp??
Maybe Julian Edelman is a comp for Jamal Murray?
2 questions: does damonza actually watch or like sports? or is his role on this podcast a character that works as a direct foil to nick? i really don’t get the impression he even likes doing the show. he’s had community service/my girlfriend dragged me here energy for 2 years now
Turn the volume up
Don’t feel bad for the fans, we good in Atlanta! Excited for this season! Top 30 visits mean nothing as far as who the Falcons draft. We’ve drafted 1 prospect since Terry has taken over that has come on a top 30 visit.
Jamaal Murray is Eli Manning lol
lol crazy comp quite accurate
If Murray was on the knicks he’d be all star every year let’s stop pretending he isn’t a great player who just stays in his role for the success of the team
He said Lebron played A- defense. 😂
Miroslav Klose holds the all-time worldcup scoring with 16, wasn't elite in leagues afaik. Might be a decent Murray analogy.
Nick you’re a homie but stop saying “galaxy brain” it sounds like a phrase that dumb people use to appear to be intellectually superior to everyone else. We all know you’re well educated on sports & otherwise. Keep up the good work, just a small piece of advice from a genuine fan brotha !
Is the Jamal Murray comp Eli Manning?
Eli made pro bowls
Starting that way, but Murray could accomplish much more, given his age and team status.
Possible Murray Comp: Big Shot Rob. Different play style, but similar story. Big shots and iconic playoff moments.
There is NO comparison. Big Shot Rob was a role player, whereas Murray is the second best player on his team.
My boy domonze fried I need his za fr😂😂
Was D Wade not the best player on a championship team? Do people just forget about him pre LeBron?
Is the comp for Jamal Murray's career Eli Manning? Maybe not quite as successful, but it's the name that comes to mind
Justin Williams in the NHL may be a comparison to Murray.
28th overall pick, good regular season player. Nicknamed Mr game 7, 8-1 in game sevens, has tied most goals and outright most points in game 7s. Won two Stanley Cups with one playoff MVP.
I feel bad for Bronny. Kid’s not going to ever be allowed to have his own career. Anything he ever does well will be “Look at that, Bron taught him so well!”, and anything he ever does wrong will be followed by “Bron’s the only reason this kid’s here, he don’t belong in the league.” I can’t imagine the stress that’s gonna inflict on him. No matter what team he’s on, every single other player and fan is just gonna say “This kid’s only here because of his dad” and not take him seriously. I really hope he can rise up and do his own thing and play well enough to make a career for himself playing without Bron on the same team. I’d hate for him to just get dunked on for stuff that’s out of his control. Not to mention all the people jealous of nba money will be salty he gets rich because his father is Lebron James. I feel bad for him and hope he does well, and I hope Lebron can kinda back off and not make it about himself and unintentionally ruin his son’s dream.
How is that any different than any player who ever played with LeBron? Whatever LeBron's supporting cast does, LeBron gets all the credit.
When the team loses, the role players get the blame because LeBron always stat pads. The only difference for Bronny is that he happens to
be LeBron's flesh and blood.
Lebron impacts winning over Tatum
When a player whose whole career the talk is----needs more help, doesn't have a head coach---that player isn't the GOAT.
Cleveland didn't make enough moves, Miami doesn't make enough moves and now Los Angeles doesn't make enough moves.
Now he talks about the great Dallas front office that just last season didn't make the play-offs with a team Nick thought could go to Finals. lol
I hate to say this Nick, but this is the NBA version of…. Get ready for this…. Julian Edelman
Madison Bumgarner is my Jamal Murray comp
KAREEM at 39 had 23 a game and 26 in the playoff and won the championship later two years in a raw. he had 10 points at age 42
he had great collage carrear with 3 ncaa championships in a raw and started at 22
Claude Lemiuex. NJ Devils
I do believe that Lebron will try to play for three more years, regardless of his son’s future, but I also believe that he might want to stop after one more year. Again, regardless of it being successful or not.
I feel like Eli Manning is a decent comp for Jamal Murray. Good but not great in the regular season but then goes on deep playoff runs.
A- to B+ defense??
Lol FR C- ball watching defense
Jimmy Butler instead of Bam , Murray has Joker?
Jamal Murray= Julian Edelman
Jamal Murray postseason is Terrell Davis postseason
only real Jamal Murray comps are two golfers… ian poulter and brooks koepka. koepka has 9 career victories and 5 are majors.. 2nd player ever to go back to back at US Open (modern era). all time great in majors, completely average in normal tournaments (regular season).
and then Ian Poulter.. all time great Ryder Cup player (which many argue is the biggest stage), and slightly above average in regular events. Koepka is the better comp
Tbh the lakers played great threw out never seen man be so hyped for a series that was competitive still got swept best chance to beat them once in a beat of 7 lakers r great team if anyone else but the nuggets they go to the wcf
Jamal Murray=Bernie Williams in my eyes. Part of a dynasty (or potential one with Nuggets), top 1-2 player but severely underrated. At no point considered the best of their respective position during regular season, albeit very good. Elite performance under brightest lights in postseason. Bernie had the most postseason HRs before Manny Ramirez broke that number.
Injury history doesn't apply, only thing that doesn't go directly (and personality a bit different).
Julian Edelman = Jamal Murray
So just give him the first ever conditioning championship trophy to go along with his first in season championship how he looked and what he won two different things
34:00 Ngl Nick is right. Lebron ties the game with 26 seconds left. If they foul by the 19-22 second mark, at most the nuggets get 2 points, least 0, mid point is 1. If they get 2 points, cool. You have possession of the ball for the last 19-22 seconds of the game (enough time to pull off something similar to what Murray did). If they get 1 point, cool. You can do what Murray did, and win the game with 3 seconds left on the clock. If they miss both, great! You can either attempt to do something similar to Murray and win the game, or run the clock, let it go to OT, get some time to rest, and let the flow of the game take course. Nick is 100% correct here imo.
You know what he also could have done, erased two of the most crucial 3s by boxing out and getting rebounds instead of giving up multiple opportunities
Yeah agreed what LeBron is doing at age 39 is unusual... in baseball when these unusual things happened everyone looked the other way. Some people even cheered it on. History will be the ultimate judge
Derrick Rose was 22 the year he won MVP and went too the conference finals
Jayson Tatum has 2 50 point playoff games
Nick your top 22 player all time list was a joke..no wade karl come on man...do better than that....
The Nuggets didn't even play that well. I wouldn't be shocked if they lose the next round. The Lakers had ample opportunities to at least extend the series, and they couldn't close.
Even if lakers beat nuggets it would’ve went 6-7 games and killed the energy of the old team to play a second round. Lakers literally never had a chance to win anything this year.
The greatest player of all time king James...he is 💯 percent right 👉 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Tatum at 22 led the Celtics to the ecf averaging 26 and 10
Sweeping embiid and beating the defending champion raptors
That raptors team looked a bit different the year after their title 😂. And congrats on beating a universally recognized playoff bed wetter in Embiid
@@willyboods5197 you can nitpick the opponents if you want but my point still stands
The lakers led at half time in every game. If you can lead by halftime you can win the game. Roster construction is a poor cop out
Close sweep! Finally
nick now blaming the front office.
Bronny James is a bum in college and you are talking about him.....rename your show...All Chiefs and Lebron
Switch Tatum for LeBron and the Lakers probably don't make the playoffs..
Nick Wright, the epitomy of fanboy insecurity, desperate reasoning, and tireless apologies for lack of execution.
You'd be taken seriously on the self-serving topics if you believed your actual takes half as much as you believed your belief.
“Lakers in 6”…..f’in fanboy. Almost as stupid as fanboy saying “KD will never win a ring if he joins the Warriors”….Wright makes some of the dumbest nba picks of anyone.
LeQueen, the LGBTQ leader of BLM
He's also made predictions that came true that most people said opposite
@@notoriousLSGshow He can be astute when his heart isn't involved-he gets way over his skis about LeBron
your co host looks like jordan poole, jordan love, and shaun livingston all at once. lightskin ahh boul.😂
his son
Nick Van Exel?
Wisconsin's OWN Nick the quick to you lol
This is my favorite pod but spending essentially the whole 1st block on the Lakers vs Nuggets series. I understand it’s LeBron but there are more series to cover too!
I can’t stress enough how much I enjoy this pod though, must see stuff
💯💯
Nick loves to twist hypothetical situations to fit his narrative lol “If lebron switched with tatum the would be the same” then if they lose he would be blaming the coach and the other players lol
He compares jokic and murray stats to lebron and ad and says they cancel each other out. But murray and jokic were much better and didnt run out if gas. He talks about eye test when they talk about purdys stats. Eye test showed ad was pathetic late on games
Jokic and Murray are better than LeBron and AD, but it's close enough that the difference in a close series was the supporting casts? Why isn't the difference in a close series the difference between the best players. Clearly, Murray was the difference in this series being over now versus continuing back to LA.
Because the Lakers best players (Lebron and AD) were pretty much playing at their current peak throughout the entire series. Generally speaking, Lebron and AD are not capable of playing significantly better than they did. Sure, they used to be better when they were younger, but they can’t magically go back to those days. They played at max capacity.
And more importantly, LeBron and AD’s current peak is still good enough to be a serious contender. If you ranked the players based on performance this series, it would go Jokic first, then AD and Lebron, and finally Murray. Murray played inefficient and ineffective basketball for 75% of the series. So who else can we blame BUT the Lakers role players?
Yeah murray and jokic didn’t run out of gas. The supporting cast was good till 4th quarters. Then the best players win the game and they did. Man the lebron glazing. Just comparing stats and saying they cancel each other out is stupid
@jrrp-li8jw That ranking would hold true in general, not just this series. If Murray was better the fourth, the series would have been a sweep (like last year). The difference is Jokic, not the respective supporting casts. Jokic is just about better than LeBron and AD combined at this point.
@@jrrp-li8jwyou can't have actually watched the live games in this series and thought Bron and AD couldn't play better. Bron could have boxed out and not spent so many plays complaining instead of playing actual D. And they could have kept going to AD rather than deferring in the 4th.
@@TheForkOnTheLeftist I still think they played pretty close to their best at this point in their careers.
Lebron isn’t physically able to defend at a high level for an entire game anymore. Complaining about calls isn’t preventing him from going back on defense….being 39 years old and playing a bunch of must-win games over the past month is what is preventing him. He’s gassed, but still puts up insane stat lines and still plays at a top 15-20 level.
As for AD, it is absolutely exhausting to defend a guy like Jokic. Not sure if you played basketball, but banging around in the paint against a bigger opponent game after game takes its toll. Dealing with a quick guard like Murray on the pick and roll is exhausting. Switching into other large players like AG and MPJ is exhausting. And most importantly, making up for the lack of defense by DLo, all the bench players, and at times Lebron and Reeves is exhausting.
If LeBron averaged what he averaged this season for his entire career, he would be ~40 points behind Kareem for all-time points. If Kareem averaged what he averaged in his final season for his entire career, he'd rank 135th all-time in scoring, just ahead of Jrue Holiday....
That's a great stat
Who the heck cares? Kareem was a more skilled and more accomplished player. And at least he won when the deck was stacked in his favor
@TheForkOnTheLeftist Calm down. I'm just putting what LeBron is doing in year 21 into context by comparing it to what Kareem was doing in year 20.
Julian Edelman
In the history of all sweeps in every sport, i never heard of a close gentlemans sweep. PATHETIC EXCUSES
Who is Nick going to spend his days defending on TV once LeBron is gone from the league? Because the reality is that it is coming pretty soon. Sure he's great. But he does not effect the game like he used to...
KD for KAT in the offseason for a trade
T wolves would be insane to do that
Blame pelinka for the lakers lost season other teams like Knicks bucks Celtics clippers got better players but pelinka is sleeping in the job 😊😊😊
Would you rather be the Lakers than the Nuggets, Wolves, Thunder, Celtics, Knicks or the Magic? Bring in LeBron.
Talked too long on LeBron
Speak up demonize Jesus
People acting like Lebron dragging teams to the playoffs almost a half decade older than when Jordan played his last playoff game and against a broader array of opponents isn’t a massive chunk of why Lebron is the GOAT are ICD-10 code F79.8’s
Jamal Murray’s NFL Comp. I would say is Julian Edelman… Good not Great player, but has a lot of great Postseason #’s & Success
Please get pelinka ham and d lo out 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
it's crazy to think lebron has played 21 seasons where he's been all-pro or t10 in MVP voting vs jordan's 11. A+ peak, A+ achievements, A+ longevity. clearly the GOAT by a mile
