I remember when they had Brandon Marshall on here interrupting everyone and they were bringing brou on practically every show and thinking they should just replace brou and b marsh (no disrespect he was just way too aggressive for this talk show ). then that day happened and I thought wow what a power move and since then this show has taken off!! Such a great team that compliment each other so well, thank you for everything you do from Nick wright, wildes and brou to dusty, Josh and the guy behind the camera who randomly laughs every once in a while. Thank you to the whole team, I know I’m not alone when I say this show is my favorite show by far. I’m grateful for the daily laughs and stares from random people when I have first things first playing in my headphone as I laugh to myself maniacally on walks with my dog. Thanks first things first team
ya Brandon Marshall shouldn't be on TV.
I liked Jenna. She kept the boys in check. Wildes has risen to the occasion tho.
These 3 + Greg Jennings as a guest for NFL segments is the best lineup. All due respect to Coach Mangini
💯💯💯
Could not have put this any better
Can we get Wildes a smoking jacket for Gentleman's sweeps?
haha people come for nick and brou but once they get it they stay for wildes
Brou calling out the Bron inclusion is hilarious, exactly what everybody was thinking

“Oh wow look at Westbrook” Bru a menace 😂
Then at the end with the Heat "They need to get better players"
Wildes super sarcastic: "Oh!"
That “top 6” list sums up Nick Wright
Luka is SPECIAL
As special as Hoang B though?
😂😂💯@@BTx933
And Westbrook is becoming Speshalᴵᴰᴰ
for those who don’t know, this was a test to see how much the asian accounts would upload prior to FTF uploading. plus, the algorithm would pick up the asian videos BEFORE the main channel’s videos. this accumulates more viewership
Competing against playoffs I doubt it
For those who don't speculate you mean?
what kinda test is that
I don't get it.
figured why the uploads were held back. FTF crew really is trying their best out here
6 hour wait for this post 🤬. Thank G for Hoang Bi
Wildes just fished running a practice marathon before he realized he forgot to upload
Its gonna be hilarious when they get blocked too 🤡🤣🤣

@@armankarimaghaei4269😂 as if its a secret
"Dallas's strategy is let Russ cook" 😭
The Mavericks Bench is yelling at russel saying SHOOOOT LMAO this isn’t a joke either 😂
Wildes' Gentleman Sweep segment. Love it.
Luka will probably be the greatest Maverick in history. Dirk will probably be the most loved always.
Different players are loved at different times. In 10 years if Luka is still around he will probably take it. But Dirk is still fresh so he's still the king atm
@@xJayhawkFANxyeah it’s still dirk right now. Luka hasn’t brought them a ring.
Depends how many rings he wins.
If he manages to win multiple rings he may Pip Dirk in terms of love but maybe not.
If they win a chip in the next 2 years hes already past Dirk.
Was Dirk ever out of shape consistently to start the season? Isn't the league more offensive scoring now? I respect Luka but Dirk is way ahead as best maverick.
Nick looks exactly like Tom Green and sounds a lot like him too.
😂 I thought I was the only one who noticed it...they both share the same logic too.
Omg, now I can't unsee it!
Jokic is 7th in playoff scoring , of course Nick cut it off to include Lebron and not jokic lol
Who would've thought that a one of a kind ex floor general could get Kyrie and Luka to buy into his game plan. Jason Kidd needs to get more kudos for how well he's coaching this duo.
U ain’t a mavs fan I would guess. Watching them all season, it ain’t Kidd. Kidd trash. Kyrie’s leadership has been amazing and Luka’s ain’t bad, they play well despite the coach, not because of him
Kidd is an awful coach. Kudos to Luka and Kyrie for making it work in spite of him.
Can only agree with those 2 guys... Kidds rotations and decisions throughout the season were questionable to say the least... I feel like with a better coach they could have pushed for a top 3 seed in the west
Need to make sure you understand that Kidd is not an elite or even good coach. He has time management issues and rotation issues. He was an elite PG in his time but as a coach he is below average
The hate on Kidd is a bit crazy. Sure he’s not the best coach, but he learns from his mistakes even if it takes a while. He adjusted against the suns in the WCSF and now he’s adjusted against the clippers right now after what happened last game
If Luka isn't top 10 all time it'll be a massive disappointment.
I love competitive series but I will crave more of Wildes 's Gentlemen Sweeps segments. This is an awesome bit.
Nick's loves to play the stats shell game. "If you disregard this stat and disregard that stat".
This is the best show on American television.
Sometimes being sick has a calming effect. You’re more relaxed. As I think the case with Luka was
I'm confused. So Nick is saying Luka is approaching legendary status but hasn't gone to a Finals yet, but before Jokic won the championship last year he wasn't close to legendary status.
This man is a walking contradiction. He capes for his favorites and holds others to insane standards.
You must be new to sports media.
@@xJayhawkFANxdon’t gotta be new or old to it to know he moves the goal post often for players he likes in every sport.
It's because Luka starts really good from his rookie year till now. His only getting better. Jokic didn't win Roy and he takes time till he become a legit superstar while Luka since his rookie season until now made it in all Star everytime and also 1st all-NBA team. After his rookie season he carried the Mavs to the playoffs until now averaging 32/8/9. Who does that's since his rookie season? The only one I can think of is MJ and LeBron since their rookie season they are beast. Just like Luka
Jokic also didn't have this kind of start to his career either. Luka came in and was immediately that guy, jokic had to grow into it for a few years before he got to that point
Yku are upset over one guy's opinion. Let it go, let it goooo.
"I didn't know who top 6 was" yea Nick, but your boss at Klutch does
his list was wrong anyway. anthony edwards is 6th at 28.9 ppg

That gentlemans sweep segment was too short!!
Nick has been called out on manufacturing takes he doesn’t believe in by Wildes and Brou this week and I’ve loved every second of it
Wildes and brou aren't consistent. You may not agree with nick but he is more consistent than both of them put together.
@@obiwanyutuben Wildes routinely gives a take and contradicts it less than 36 hours later lol
@kghd2647 exactly. He's been getting a bit too spicy lately. Feeling himself too much.
@@obiwanyutuben lol, he’s consistently wrong about anyone not named Patrick Mahomes
@Barkruffalo35 it's his job to make the difficult takes. Literally. They all compliment each other well. I just don't think wildes getting angry when he learned everything about sports on this show works.

Tatum stepping into his role and getting boards was huge for the Celtics. Porzingis allowed Tatum to score and draw defenders. Without Porzingis Tatum had to step up and he did. Porzingis changed the way the Celtics played their game. To lose Porzingis in a playoff series and keep winning is really a testament to the teams' resilience, drive, and talent.
The way Wildes says "do you have one?" Is gold 15:54
May I just say, Brou’s concentration to be able to finish his thought with Nick just constantly trying to cut him off with “but” “well here’s the thing” “yeah but”, is just unreal. I’d have lost my thought like three times over 😅
They still haven’t figured out the Dallas defense has been elite since February. A few more superstars will probably have to exit the playoffs before they finally get it.
If the mavericks win the title it will be because of their defense. And when it’s all over and people can see the complete body of work from this team, they will kick themselves for not seeing it early on.
This show is so underrated
At 25 luka is putting a lot of legends in his rear view mirror
Hoang Bi got me with this hours ago, step it up buddy💯💯
Just watch both. You get an early fix and both channels get the views. We need FTF to do well on all platforms so the show becomes untouchable.
stop snitching bro
Yeah an he be havin 39 comments to FTF hundreds
And they will probably be banned/blocked just like the last one sooner rather than later🤡🤣🤣
@@matthewm3869 hows it snitching it's public lmao
OKC Dallas will be such an amazing series. It's the western equivalent of a subway series with cities in driving distance. 2 mvp candidates Doncic and SGA. 2 star rookies Holmgren and Lively. I can't wait.
Wildes talking down on the Heat was unnecessary. they didn't have Jimmy or Rozier. as soon as Jimmy got hurt before the playoffs the series was over. Boston shouldn't be celebrating a free win. the entire East is so free for the Celtics it has to be the easiest path to the Finals in NBA history.
I need this show for my mental health
A bit of a late post, innit?
Wildes is killing with the Gentlemen sweep bit...they should have played the piano and let it go for an extra bit
Clippers crazy putting Westbrick on their roster.
dUDE IS An EMBARASSMENT to competitive sports in General~
Best show late upload
Not mad at it this time lol I slept early and woke up at 3am
I hope people know this is better than First Take
“i got a vape” sent me😂😂
Ill still watch it. Its still the best show. But whats up with the inconsistent time frame for uploads?
Calm down on heat culture??? One playoff run where they are without Jimmy and rozier??? Wilds act like Boston has won a championship 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
He showed his heart and desire in this game.
Just hire Hoang Bi I’m sure it wouldn’t cost
Much
I wish they would put time stamps in their videos when each of them talk so I could skip the NW portions.
These three are great
Nick definitely smokes 😂😂😂 that mayne wild
Wildes said C’s would win the next 3 after the loss. Go C’s 🎉Gentlemen’s sweep segment was great
Josh is really freestyling lmao. Nick is an honestly funny dude.
Harden still one of my favorite regular season players. I just think he takes bribes in the playoffs
I had no idea that Luka is ONLY 25 years old !!!! Why did I think he was 30 something...
Yeah bro, he’s just getting started
U a casual that‘s why. Nothing wrong with that though
@@Jottzumoh in fact more than a casual, I do not watch any in season games at all. Cannot name a single player on about 27 teams. I am barely a fan.
@@ros73dros good, now be a good little casual and never comment on basketball ever again.
@@cyberbron2077 --- haha [but also] probably true.
Late af
Luka is the best player ever right now.
Bru says his numbers will come down as he plays more. Umm check his regular and playoff averages year over year since the start of the career, they're actually going up.
He means as he gets older and more talent on his team.
Harden is the Dolphins, A BREAKDANCER
I mean Luka overall didn’t have a great series offensively but his defense was pretty much spot on which is weird to say about him. But if he cranks up his offensive efficiency from last series while also keeping up with his defense. The thunder are gonna have problems then they bargained for.
I still don't understand why so many people hold Ty Lue in such high regard. Sure, he puts a lot of emphasis on mismatches, but apart from that, I don't see the added value he brings.
Also, Wildes forgets that the Heat played without Butler against a fully stacked Boston team. Winning that one game was quite a feat.
They couldn’t wait to hate on Harden 🤦🏾♂️
Wilde's saying what I've been saying.
"Jimmy was hurt in the play-in. Boston has an easy ride to the ECF".
Congratulations to the heat fans. You've discovered how playoff seeding works. Turns out, the 1 seed have a easier path than the 9th seed. You know the easiest way for Jimmy to not get hurt in the play-in?
Don't be in the play-in. 🤷🏾♂️
Congratulations. 👏🏾
Good lord.
Cavs Magic gotta be one of the most irrelevant playoff series in NBA history
already watched backup channels for today, post faster and full episode plz. ftf is a must
such an odd upload time 💀
If the Mavs keep playing defense like they have been in this series and can get a little more healthy (Luka’s knee improves, hardaway comes back), I think they will win the chip.
There not good enough to get by Denver or Minnesota and boston.
As a Heat fan , giving them this credit & high praise when half our team was hurt is crazy. They shouldve swept us lol
Its hardly controversial to say Luka should make the top 10 if he stays healthy and wins titles. Seems kind of obvious honestly if that happens
The Dallas Mavs will be the 2024 NBA Champions.
The best shown there ever has been!!
Hey Ty can I get some easy ones is wild 😂
What was the criteria to be on that PPG list, Ant is averaging like 29 PPG
In fairness to Harden, he wasn’t supposed to be the #1 or #2 option on the team. He’s supposed to be the #3 option/playmaker. Brou is spot on. They would’ve been able to survive nights when he struggles if kawhi was there. Not sure how Harden is getting more blame than Kawhi and PG.
Tell me Wildes didn't just say that Harden should ask for a play to be drawn for him to shoot ... (checks notes) ... a midrange shot? lmao
Irving is playing in a way sometimes, that you get shocked. He is like a wizard truly. Rang of Jordan, Kobe, Kawhi.
u been under rock? lol...been doing it since st Patrick's high but was drafted in 2011...since u new to him, check out his highlights on CZcams...u will LOVE em!!
I've had the pleasure of having been able to watch MJ and Kobe both play and i said it when i first saw him play.... Luka will surpass MJ... he's that good, and he'll be one of the all time greats to ever play the game....
Everyone saying they’ve seen this already on other channels aren’t true fans cuz if you were you’d either watch both or watch this channel alone knowing they need stats in order to continue their success may not seem like it but that sort of stuff adds up
they literally get paid from television. youtube is just extra money im assuming the company keeps and maybe splits with them?
@@cheerioss-9121 i know they don’t get paid through this but stats are stats the better the social medias do the better they look
Anthony Edwards’s averaging 28.9 !
wildes spot on about the heat
The Mavs are playing well, but they'll find out OKC isn't an old team on old legs, they've got no pressure, and I think SGA and company will be a handful for anyone.
I hate how in Basketball a gentlemen's sweep is any 5 game series! In the NHL and most leagues it means you go up 3-0 then give the other team a game knowing they have no chance to come back from 3-0. It also usually doubles as a homecourt win if it's a higher seeded team!
Right, what the Nuggets did was a gentlemen's sweep. The Celtics just won in 5.
Not one team in the history of sports has let a team win one game in order to preserve their opponent’s dignity. The idea is absurd.
Crazy how easy the path is to the finals for Celtics. Magic Knicks pacers or Cleveland? Cmon now Denver vs Celtics is a lock.
Deep down, we all knew Nick vaped
I feel like James Harden made a deal with the Devil but didn’t read the fine print
Kyrie has done this since Brooklyn lol. Gianni’s hurt his ankle and he was going crazy. In Brooklyn he went 54/40/90 averaging 28 lol
2:40 “I say Shohei Ohtani is the best baseball player ever. But he’s not the G.O.A.T.”
Is the most contradictory statement I’ve ever heard in sports reporting
Nick is a cross between Tom green and the nerd from Grandmas Boy 😂
I get my energy from shooting 😂😂😂
I do think that this Mavericks team is far better than the Clippers and I do believe that we can win Game 6 tomorrow. My only concern is that can they translate the effoet they played in Game 5 to Game 6? Im not gonna say that the Clippers are gonna shoot 32% and be bad at 3s but I want to be a good team from both sides.
As of right now all Wildes brash trash talking on the Wolves is looking pretty bad😂😂
Lmao pg always getting away with no blame 😂😂
Nick Wright thought he was slick using a TOP 6 just to fit in Lebron! Brou caught him! lol
lol Miami was missing 50 plus points
As phenomenal as Luka is, cracking the top 3 greatest offensive players list is a tough task. Between MJ, Kobe and Wilt I’m not sure who you’re knocking off for Luka.
We can revisit this in another 10+ years and maybe he’s clearly on there but man, that’s a tough top 3.
Jokic is probably the greatest offensive player ever. Him, Mike, and Lebron.
Joker is a better offensive player than Kobe. The combination of efficiency and assists is more valuable than high volume scoring.
lol Kobe 😂
When I was at the celtics clippers game the crowd was chanting westbrick all game dude was super off.
He nearly started a fight in the hallway at Cryto with a fan who said the same thing.
y'all too slow with the posts
1:10 Nick Wright absolutely knew Lebron had to be on the list
A rich man once told me "Pros are at their best regardless"
