- Nick Wright is in a great mood today after LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers took on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks, and after, Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers. After coming out of both games on top, Nick tells Stephen Jackson and Kevin Wildes why this is proof that LeBron is the best player in the league, and why the Lakers are the best team in the west. Plus, Stephen Jackson decides if LeBron's performance this weekend solidifies his chances at winning MVP this season.

Who will win MVP this NBA season?
First
First Things First, lebron will win MVP!!
LeBron💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🏀🏀🏀🏀
If LBJ wins mvp over 2 games, the nba is rigged...its Giannis by a landslide!!!
Lebron will win but Giannis deserve it more
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Jordan was 5/19 in the close-out game against Seattle... but Rodman had 11 ORB lol
Maybe lebron's 2011 finals were better
@@PranayNighukar If you look at the performances... yea it's A LOT closer than people admit. Jordan had an atrocious series. 5/18, 5/19, like 20% from 3. Rodman went HAM on the boards that series, giving the Bulls a fuckton of second chance opportunities, and most of those games were close.
@michael lee Also, 2 20 REB games I believe. But Jordan didn't have as much help as LeBron ;)
@michael lee Why do you think LeBron left Cleveland the first time? (I'm from Akron, OH. I DIDN'T burn my LeBron jersey because, he literally had a front office that got no talent worthy of a title team). Boston, San Antonio... teams were becoming juggernauts and all LeBron had was Big Z and Mo Williams. If Giannis left, would you blame him? Besides, just about every top 10 player had a sidekick. Jordan had Pippen, Magic/Kareem, Shaq had Kobe, Duncan had Parker/Ginobli.
@@Xzei old comment but good job educating these children
I'm not even mad at Nick he deserves to talk noise, today.!
Everyday.
Facts are Lebron is waaaaay better than the competition but it's a team sport. When his team shows up that doesn't diminish his performance
“If you let Lebron get to the basket you’ll lose”
Lebron is the greatest attacker of the basket ever. Players don’t LET him get to the basket, he just does. In this game Lebron just didn’t settle for jumpshots and took everyone to the basket.
I mean he got 14 free throws so
@@lilsteez8219 and made 12
That is his game lmao, bulldoze to basket cause it favors the offense and occasionally 3, play lazy defense and hes the goat lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@eeia3570Lmao ik you just hate how successful his career is
Lebron a beast but Ad is insane! on both sides the offense ran through him low post and dominated on defense ad changes the game on d
Shhhh. .. Don't tell the media. It's a secret!
MrJones870 yesterday it was progress
MrJones870 this is such a old tired narrative.. the team struggles when either AD or LeBron go off the floor.. that’s what happens when you have two top 5 players on the same team.. you’re bound to have a team that goes through a lull when one of the two goes out of the game. Especially, when you’re heavily dependent on these two guys to create a grand majority of the offense.
How bout Bron trailing last night ready to block with either hand bro he was magical last night
@ANIMENIACS That is is the Coache's fault has absolutely nothing to do with Lebron. Give Popovich or Brad Stevens that team and they wouldn't regress that much when Lebron sits.
Lebron couldn’t get mvp in the East because the media said it was weak and he could never do it in the west team are much harder. Now he is in the west and the bar for him to get the MVP is raised higher because it’s LEBRON
The Messenger I forgot about that statement toward Lebron!
“Nick and Shannon Sharpe don’t count” 😂😂😂
Lol Stephen Jack said KD. With Lebron’s new back down post up gain what do you think KD is gonna do if Giannis couldn’t guard him. That poor Achilles would get real sore.
The disrespect to Paul George and ad. They both balled out last night.
lil steez they were the two best players on the court
Robert LeBron
Long is not disrespectful when they don't deserve the full respect because both those players are really not leaders of a championship team they will just be part of one with a better leader helping them in the proof is in their basketball history facts are stubborn things
lil steez kawhi scored 27 meaningless points. He had 0 assist, 2 rebounds and was a -17. All he didn’t do anything impactful in that game
Wait until Paul George really activates playoff p and goes 0-11 ....
LeBron is BALLING. BUT, Kawhi shot 5-6 when LeBron was guarding him, according to ESPNs stats.
0 assists, is that even possible with as much talent as the Clippers have to get 0 dimes?
0 assists.
@@Kruppt808 0 assist is inexcusable. Not good. Can't deny that.
Michael Randall ESPN stats for stuff like that is garbage. Saw some thing awhile back where I think jokic went like 13-14 on someone but it really wasn’t like that and everyone on Twitter was debunking it as a bad stat.
Kruppt808 assists require your teammates to make shots, L will, Morris , everybody besides Paul George shot bad .
Avery Bradley was the difference yesterday.
Nick speaking facts. Time for the comment section to lose it’s millennial mind.
Okay Bronsexual boomer.
Johnny Gleason Lol beat the bucks n clippers once now he’s talking again
Greenyuo Banzi I’m hear everyday win or lose. Unlike the Lebron haters. Half go away when he wins. Everyone comes back when he loses.
Good Luck having Avery Bradley put up 24 point games come playoff time while the other team has a bad shooting night.
Give Lebron Middleton & Bledsoe & give the Bucks Anthony Davis and the Bucks would SLAUGHTER the Lakers. Middleton is only really an All-Star because Giannis is so good and helps him be wide open so much.
Also, these three guys are TERRIBLE talking about Westbrook should have won the MVP again. They don’t talk about his bad shooting percentages from 3, his jump shot, & free throws or his 5 turnovers a game.
Step Back Splash facts
Funny how Nick Wright all of a sudden cares about the regular season matchups bc before this weekend, he acted like it didn’t matter that the Lakers were 0-3 vs the Bucks and Clippers. Now the Lakers win and it’s proof he’s the “best player in the world and it’s not close”. I’m getting tired of his act, he’s only here to push his Lebron agenda and doesn’t care if he contradicts himself.
He said the 2 game's mean something and the Lakers would go 2-0.
The national sports media has been saying regular season doesn't matter. Nick hasn't said that once. Don't know if your trying to be mad at some fictional narrative you've made up but......
Kruppt808 I’ve been listening to him all year. He never changed his opinion about the Lakers or Lebron despite going 0-3 against the bucks and clippers and Lebron getting outplayed by Kawhi and giannis each time. He beats them this weekend and all of a sudden it matters.
And he only cares about the regular season if it suits Lebron. Bucks have been on pace to win 70 games yet he says the Lakers are still the favourites, but the Clippers being behind the Lakers in the standings (even tho pg missed almost half the year, he never mentions that btw) is proof they aren’t close to them. I’m simply pointing out his inconsistency and how he contradicts himself
Nick wrong is the biggest loser on tv
@@Mohamed-ye5do he's admitted that they lost against those teams, he thinks the Lakers would beat the Bucks in.the finals despite going for 70 wins.
And the Clippers not taking the regular season serious is gonna hurt chemistry which it has since they iso ball alot. Lakers are #1 seed in.harder west. Not hard to understand
Kruppt808 and you don’t see the hypocrisy? He’s using the regular season to prove Lakers > Clippers, but still has lakers > bucks despite being better in the regular season. Either it matters or it doesn’t, he can’t pick and choose when the regular season matters. Like I said, he only cares about the regular season when it suits him. He can’t seem to understand that the same reasons he has Lakers > bucks are the same reasons ppl have clippers > lakers.
Also, Kawhi hasn’t rested in months, and pg was out for almost half the year. Any failure to mention that is being dishonest. The clippers likely are within a game or 2 of the lakers if PG isn’t hurt.
Was The Load Manager(Kawhi) actually RUNNING😂AWAY on LeBron's last play?? [just asking(haha)]
As an old scool chicago playground guy i absolutely agree with stephen jackson on giannis.
There are holes in his game.
He loves to spin inside and use his height for dunks and high percentage shots.
That can and should be stopped during playoffs.
Well it can only be stopped because he's not playing with another star to keep the defense honest.
LeBron is playing with AD...that makes life so much easier. Literally every single game, you know AD is the mismatch, not LeBron. Sure, there's holes in Giannis's game, but his strengths are elite.
The problem for the Bucks is that they don't have a 2nd reliable guy. So unless Giannis can go for 40+ every game of the playoffs, they're not winning a title anytime soon.
Kawhi is good but I think ppl crowned him way too early ..If kd did not get injured he would've been the mvp and most important free agent. Kawhi also stacked the deck but does not get the criticism like other would IMO he doesn't make teammate's better he's a elite iso player but lebron is better he can score just as well and he makes plays for others 👑🔒
I've been saying Kawhi has been top 2 or top 3 for years if healthy and picked the Raptors win it all last year once KD went down. I still completely agree though. The Clippers are absolutely stacked if healthy and they'll have to go through some really good and even great teams to win it all this season. Last season the Raptors were got a few huge breaks and I don't see the Clippers getting as many this season. At the very least we'll get a lot of great playoff basketball and I'm definitely excited to see how it plays out
Inefficient? Wasn't Kawahi 5 for 6 when LeBron guarded him?
Reese B yes that will cut it if Kawhi keeps up that play nobody can beat them
Reese B 0 assists because his teammates couldn’t make an open shot
Good Luck having Avery Bradley put up 24 point games come playoff time while the other team has a bad shooting night.
Give Lebron Middleton & Bledsoe & give the Bucks Anthony Davis and the Bucks would SLAUGHTER the Lakers. Middleton is only really an All-Star because Giannis is so good and helps him be wide open so much.
Also, these three guys are TERRIBLE talking about Westbrook should have won the MVP again. They don’t talk about his bad shooting percentages from 3, his jump shot, & free throws or his 5 turnovers a game. (Or the fact that the 3-point league makes it easier now for guards to get rebounds or other factors that make it easier now for players to get triple doubles)
3 Casuals at that table.
@@stepbacksplash3985 You also won't see a scoring game like Danny Green that often. If Lebron and AD get 25 each and someone else steps up, anyone, the Lakers will be tough to beat. I trust Lebron and AD to get theirs, just need a thir man to step up on any given night. Averely Bradley saw his chance when he noticed that crab Beverley was going to be on him.
Nick Wright is saying people “created a narrative” that Lebron wasn’t the best in the world because of his injury, but I remember him calling Kawhi the best player in the league after he won the title. This dude is the least honest person in sports media.
Also, this was the first game Lebron outplayed Kawhi head to head in YEARS. Kawhi has always outplayed him ever since he became a superstar. Those head to head matchups meant nothing before but now that Lebron beat him, they matter. I’m sick of this guy.
Talk I honestly hate media
Talk he said Kawhi had the title of best in the world “at that time” because of the Raptors winning the chip. That’s all, Nick was waiting for a chance to ether the LeBron critics. He called names while doing it. Honestly he should’ve toned it down until after the playoff results happen.
Lol yeah I was thinking of Kawhi on the Spurs 😂
When Kawhi started 60 out of 82 load management he said you can't be the best player in the world doing that.
If Kawhi played 72 to 75 games the mvp voters and Nick Wright would agree he still is the best.
Nick Wright is a LeBron Fan
48 hours can determine an MVP in todays NBA.
I know right LOL. They act like the Lakers didn't lose twice the Clippers and once to the Lakers before. Now LeBron is automatically MVP because of that?
MrJones870 Everyone that won mvp after lebron deserved it. Steph, kd , Russ, harden, and Giannis this year. He’s on pace for 70 wins averaging 30 14 and 6 while being a dpoy candidate with less talent than lebron
@@bigmacncheez1775 They are on pace for 68 now and with Gianis out it might be harder. Lakers would need to ball out to pass them for the best record but if that happens Lebron will get MVP. For me that has to be the goal.
MrJones870 Too bad Giannis don’t have an AD on his team.
YortroY But with Giannis being out and the Bucks losing the #1 spot wouldn’t that make Giannis case for MVP stronger?
LeBron did not play good yesterday, this is why stars don't like playing with LBJ, Anthony Davis was the MVP in yesterday's game
I can tell you actually watched the game and didn’t just look at stats
Why are people so pumped about the greatest player going 2-5 against players he's supposedly head and shoulders above.
Why are you so angry at the result?
Maybe because he's in year 17 playing at an MVP level? Just a guess
LMFAO!! Exactly!
@@iishockii1752 facts 😂😂😂
@@iishockii1752 He's 35. Stop exaggerating. Yes, he's old but not old to the point where it's impossible to play at an MVP level. He also happens to play with AD who outclasses him in everything but assists. And yet we just continue to ignore AD as a factor in all of this.
Where’s Chris “cut you off” carter
Marvin Davis dude got fired a while ago haha
Ryan Nocera why???
truez hudz words on the street is he was not on the cast for Thursday Night football. He dropped F Bomb to FOX brass and got escort out of the building immediately
NICK REMINDS ME OF TEDDY FROM SNOWFALL
Kevin Wildes just sits up there the whole show saying nothing and then the one time he says something, "So back in the day when I worked at ESPN blah blah blah."
This is at least the 3rd episode he's done that. He looks like a baby sitter up there who has never babysat kids with a camera in his face.
Are there better scorers than lebron? Yes. Shooters? Yes. Defender? Yes, but no better all around player in the game than lebron
You mean passing??🤣😂
That dosent make sense if he's not better in any of those major basketball categories then how is the best player? He dosent defend and has never been a great on ball defender, help defense yes. But not on ball. He's just developing a reliable mid range game last few years, but nobody is gonna say he's a great shooter. So wats his skill set? Passing and rebounding? Even with that there is several players in the league that can do it just as or nearly as good as him
@@robertwilson9528 You're an idiot. He's been all defense. Didn't bother reading the rest.
Shooting? KD.
Defense? KD.
Passing? LBJ.
l3bR0n iS beTtEr.
@@VVVY777 kd is not better on defense. Wtf u smoking?
Lakers beat the clippers once so far, clippers won 2 kawhi dominates the 2 games scoring the most points and on the 3rd game they scored about the same points but here we go lebron is the best player, i dont see it and i see very cleary the media and nick wright and alot of others are in love with LBJ.
Nick didn’t even account for the fact that lebron did not give up 27 to kawhi. Kawhi got 15-20 of his points vs AD and others.
You act like He cant score against Bron when he wants too lmao
Nick Wright went Beast Mode in the bedroom this weekend.
Did we ever find out what happened to CC?
Yes I think about that everyday 😃
Jay Kelz I read online that he was having problems with some producers and ended up leaving the fox network.
He had problems with the producers
It's well documented
So Milwaukee won’t come out the east now or even the eastern conference finals because of a mediocre team week?
Bro they hate the BUCKS so much that’s crazy 😂😂
The bucks goin straight to the finals with ease but the finals will be crazy if they put bron on Giannis like last time
🤣🤣🤣🤣 man not even trying to be toxic just seeing this and what happened in the play offs
He said Nick and Shannon don’t count 😂😂
Clipper Fan since the 90's, I was at the game and Nick is right. Lebron is the MVP this year. Statement weekend. Its all about the playoffs. 20 games left. PAINFUL LOSS. but all about the playoffs.
No he isn’t the MVP stop overreacting after 2 games. And lebron has always been the best player in the world so...
RESPECT ALL FEAR NONE comeback in June you silly
RESPECT ALL FEAR NONE I never say that lebron can’t win the finals mvp. You clearly a bronsexual you are completely emotional
@@yvans. were not talking about the 2 games . About since the start of the season
PK Comedy Ya’ll need to stop moving off emotions. Lakers are still 1-1 vs Bucks and 1-2 vs Clippers. When they lost it’s just a regular season game but now it’s a statement game?
Facts
Ride em Nick, ride em
Nick you got it right. And Stephen Jackson on point.
So Giannis will not improve according to Stephen Jackson.... how a dude who started playing basketball at 15 years old will stop his improvements at 25 ?
You know haters 😂😂😂
Kevin White that’s crazy to me
The combined stat line was just overkill. You didn’t have to do them like that nick 😪
+6, +2, +11,+2, +1 against better, younger and more athletic “scorers, rebounders, and defenders.” A man amongst boys.
Captain Jack keeping it real
Nick and Shannon dont count - Stephen Jackson LMAOOOOO
Laker fan here and I’m happy Lakers won yesterday but let’s be honest a 7 game series against the clippers is going to be nerve wrecking cause it can go either way cause both teams are good!
Dude's face at 7:14. LOL! that's what it must be like listening to Nick Wright day in and day out.
I'm done 😂😂😂
That got me dying that face boy wtf 😂😂😂
Tell 'em Jack!
nick wright is a genuis
Man,i wouldn't want to be Giannis right now.Two games and they take everything he has done all year away...
Stacks opening line about KD was a great joke to open up with 🤣🤣🤣
Oh
The fact of the matter is that Lebrons continued improvement as an outside shooter, bordering on excellent, has just opened up those driving lanes and has made his first step that much quicker. Once you establish that outside shot at a high consistency the whole game just becomes butter. Really destabilizes a defense and opens up those alley oops and 3 point kick outs as needed. The last couple of seasons have been Lebrons best as a complete player.
Nick you kinda lose some credibility saying scoring 27 on 50% in inefficient, I like Bron but some of your arguments come off as ridiculous even to people on the same side as you!
Me personally I think what he was actually saying was like in the bucks game yea giannis had what 32 I think but it didn't really impact the game at least I hope because 50 percent is always efficient and I mean always
Blust!.... The King took everything back...
Kawhi is the best player . nick acting as tho the clippers are 0-3 against the Lakers this season
Why does it feels like they genuinely like working together?
All these dudes who played against lebron hate on him so much its crazy
This weekend we were watching the movie, The Return of the King
Watching Lebron as the great facilitator and physical phenome, the only way to beat him is to out gunhim. The peak spurs and the GSW+Durant especially were those team that packed too much heated.
Even if we all say Kawhi is elite, like KD or Tim Duncan, the rest of these “”dogs”” are not even comparable. Lou Williams is not Klay Thompson. Pat Beverly is not defensive MVP level Draymond. PG does not put the fear of god in people like Steph Curry.
This nonesense that the clippers when fully healthy are this unstoppable juggernaut was foolish, got proven to be foolish and will be shown to be foolish in the playoffs
Facts
The way to beat Bron is usually by exploiting both the superior depth of your team and better coaching to wear him out while making the opposing role players look lost.
You are the only person with some sense in most if not all these comments.
Golden state was otherworldy at its peak and one was beating them in this era.
Clippers are.full of guys that have never won and as a franchise theyve never won. The idea theyd easily win this year is all narrative.
@@ubadman1 same could've been said about Toronto last year
I think S Jack is right on point
Stephen Jackson a real one 💯
Kawhi needs a great point guard like Lowry to offset his lack of playmaking. The Clippers have too many of the same players like Kawhi ,PG,Morris ,Green etc. They don't have a great Center or a great Point Guard. Lowry is underrated . He averaged around 9 assists last season.
did they cancel the awards show ? or it still on cause i can’t imagine bron going lol
so we gonna ignore that in the season series, bron is averaging 23 shooting like 37% from the field while kawhi is averaging i believe 32 and 55% from the field
It's easy to get assists when you dominate the ball for all 48 minutes and decide when your teammates get a chance to shoot. I'd get all the assists too. Let's we him do something different and move without the ball. That's a rare sighting
LeBron forms into what each game requires of him to give his team the best chance to win, and has been the mvp for the last Decade at least
Are we just going to ignore the fact that KD has been going toe to toe with Lebron, whenever they play each other since the 2012 finals.
Toe to toe? How? Golden state important player is and was curry. Thunder lost in 5.
ubadman1 individually he’s gone toe to toe. For the most part, he hasn’t had a team that was built for championship the ways lebrons was. Then when he was with the warriors, Lebron didn’t have a team that was built to compete against him. As for the most important comment, Erik Spolestra said Chris Bosh was there most important player on that Miami Heat. Not sure how that matters.
All im saying is somebody needs to get the LBJ as Thanos collecting the stones for this Chip run.
Ad had more points and rebounds than brono
P H did u watch the game? having 2 more points means nothing compared to the impact lbj had in the game
@@LuisGustavo-ve7kc bron had wat 9 assist that's what he do and turnover and miss ft's
I only watched the first half
Suddenly 1 win tells you all you need to know. Ok... I guess...
Just watching the Clippers game, you could see AD was the problem, not LeBron. LeBron made 4 shots in the first 3 quarters and his other 3 shots made came in garbage time in the 4th. Most of his points came from free throws.
This talk about LeBron being MVP is pretty ridiculous. LeBron didn't actually do much against the Clippers when it mattered. Nine of his points came in garbage time when the Lakers already had a comfortable lead. Not sure why AD keeps getting shafted in the MVP discussions.
At least if it were AD vs Giannis, you could see the argument. The only reason LeBron is being thrown in is because he's a bigger name than AD as far as the media is concerned. I'm not saying LeBron is a bum or anything, but the Lakers owe those Bucks and Clippers wins to AD. He made things happen in the important parts of those games...especially in the Clippers game.
I'm so happy CC is gone. I hope he left because they fired him and not because something bad happened to him or family though
They fired him because he lied about Kawhi going to the Lakers.
The gospel of nick wright
Nick should team up with Shannon Sharpe n go head to head with Skip n Rob Parker 🤣
Make the argument for LeBron... But you lost me at it's not close.
Nick is feeling himself today. Just gloating. Clearly he’s bothered by all the Kawhi talk and Giannis talk. So let him have his day
I have always been a Lebron detractor but... it's NOT close. He RAN THROUGH the two best teams in the league with the two best, or two of the best, defensive players in the league. It's not close. Lebron is the best player in the league
Kd don't have playmaking like Lebron either
This season will come down to the clippers not having a PG and the lakers having an unstoppable post game and pick and roll. Their defenses match up, they don’t shoot well against each other-but the lakers have a better duo in terms of fit and the best passer in basketball and the clippers have two really talented players that don’t play off each other.
🦁👑
The thing no one is talking about is Giannis halfway through the last quarter was absolutely gassed, made all 10 free throws then missed 3 or 4 in a row from not being able to get his breath back from the Lakers putting him in every switch and play. Playing 30min a night all year will hurt him when he's gonna play 40+ min a night in the playoffs and taking no plays off.
Bro the Bucks blew the Lakers out in the first game and in the second Giannis literally got hurt and just stayed in🤦🏿♂️
Bro gtfoh. Bucks were gonna lose the second game no matter what.

Judah Mourneth duh that’s his teammate bro! But the media act like he not putting up 30 pts and Bron just out here doing this all alone but that’s why kyrie left Bron because all the attention is on him !
STACKTOWN ent stats don’t tell the whole story, lebron impact in the games, how’s he’s able to dictate the pace, court awareness, driving bring in the defensive allowing his bigs to cut for the ally or dish out. AD might have the numbers but lebron is more IMPACTFUL.
STACKTOWN ent. AD points/reb/assist are down from previous years but he’s leading in stats on the lakers. But the lakers are still successful why is that????? LEBRON!!!!
We bouta hear nick slurp Lebron all segment
How does Nick have hair underneath his hair 👀
I love the fact that the Lakers won and the fact that they are going to be nr1 west seed. It's also great everyone has crown LeBron as the best player in the world again.
But you know what, there is no excuse anymore. I don't wanna hear the talk about clippers being better as a collective. Come playoff time you better show up and you better bring your A game every single game because if you end up losing in the conference finals you're done. I'm still taking clippers in 5 or 6 games but it will be quite good to hear nick then
