Listen to Out of Character with Ryan Satin: http://sprtspod.fox/OOC
Wildes: “Who cares about that” soooo true 😂😂
Embiid winning mvp
8:00 Nick is wrong on that one. In the 2019-2020 season Bucks had the best record and Giannis was the clear MVP with Lebron having a great season that put him 2nd.
Nick is always in his feelings 😢😂
When Nick argues for my point, I love him to the Moon!!! When Nick argues against my point, I want to push him into a steaming volcano…..The Sixers are Top Tier
Nick's my guy and I love Bron but somebody's gotta tell him the bucks had the better record that year. He can say lebron should've won (I disagree) but that can't be part of the argument haha.
:))))))) Nick "the beak" idiot is in troubleee… :)))))
he was propping up embiid for so long, and now giannis destroyed him…
And Jokic destroyed Giannis few days ago :))))))))))
So… Nick's "beak" is in deep trouble :)))))))))
Giannis's numbers over all are better. He's a better defender. His team is the number 1 seed. How is Embiid leading the MVP? I guess Embiid is making Harden a winner that's hard to do. Giannis is the best overall player in the NBA. And I'm not even a fan of his. He made a very average team the Bucks a very good team.
Seeing Nick squirm because he knows the Sixers have to play the Celtic round 2 is just tooooooo good
If it is a coin flip than it should go to the player that every team wants on their team and is most likely to win the championship, which is Giannis not Embiid.
Nick is literally a sports nerd, the way he finished Brou's point about Hardens points in 51 games is crazy. People can say this is scripted or what not but he responds quickly with a lot of stats on this show.
Brou is a huge harden fan 😂
Imo, it's hard to trust the 76ers. Maybe if this was prime Harden, but he's lost a step since his Rocket days. In his Houston days, he could basically score at will. Embiid is kind of inconsistent come playoff time too. Their depth isn't as good as the Bucks & Celtics either. If they want to make it far in the Playoffs, Embiid needs to have a monster playoffs & their whole team has to play well.
Oddly enough the only team that has defended Boston is the Warriors. Lol
Regular season game matchup results don’t mean much. I’m not saying Philly is better, but analyzing the results doesn’t mean much
You can tell Nick has money on Embiid winning MVP lol
Nick make great points
They expect Philly to do something every year 😂
You can't give someone 3 Mvp awards in a row who has never played defence. Please stop jokic agenda !!
Giannis represent everything this league has to name MVP!!!
Where does Philly go from here after they get eliminated in the 2nd round again? Seems like the same result every season.
– PHI w/o Embiid: 9-4
– MIL w/o Giannis: 9-6
– DEN w/o Jokic: 4-7
Denver w/o Jokic is one of the worst teams in the entire NBA.
Denver with Jokic is #1 in the West.
You do the math.
Based in nothing is how I would describe nick’s confidence in the Sixers over Boston and Milwaukee 🤷♂️
Man for the last couple years I thought Nick was actually a Giannis fan. He just turned in him so hard saying that Lebron deserved the mvp in 2020. Nick has been constantly saying that Giannis is the best player in the league. Where’s the loyalty ??
4 losses in a row to Boston…one of them being a 49 pt beatdown at home…
Hope Nick doesn’t have a vote. His logic sucks.
what's up with the poor audio? sounds like i am trying to be reached from the shadow realm
8:00 This is just flat out incorrect, the Bucks won 56 games in 2020, the Lakers won 52 and Giannis had better numbers. Not to mention Lebron had a better team.
Giannis basically secured the mvp for jokic by beating the 76ers, I don’t understand why people think giannis is going to win when the voters see him as a distant 3rd, the straw poll proved that and the current rankings on the Kia MVP ladder prove that, when April 9th comes y’all will see that Joel embiid lost some 1st and 2nd place votes leaving jokic the MV3.
Grasping at straws 2.
Nick smartly jumped ship on his awful mavs pick but he wants to go down with the sixers ship
me every segment😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nick has been getting weird on Giannis lately. Maybe Klutch is getting to him.
2020 wasn't close; the bucks were on pace for 70 wins pre shutdown, and the arguments for bron were sympathy ones; now he's trying to give Embiid the sympathy one when there's no rational argument for Embiid. If you're giving it to Embiid may as well go with jokic cuz Embiid has 0 argument over Giannis.
As a sixers fan, Nick Wright and Skip are my go to guys.. especially Nick Wright as he shuts people up with those little stats. I'm impressed Sixers have only had 4 double digit losses to teams currently in the top 6, of course that's an important stat to have.
Wrong Nick! Giannis was better on the better team in 2020
Wildes is right let's stop this stuff about this guy has this guys mvp. who ever won it won it.
How many times do the Celtics have to teach the sixers this lesson old man.
Since Jayson Tatum came into the league at 19 sixers have never been a threat to Boston. How many times do we have to do this? 😅
The Philadelphia 76ers are the Dallas cowboys of the NBA.
Talking about playoff scenarios nick not regular season
broussard said "i deal in facts" and then decided to speculate that harden is letting playoff pressure get to him and thats why hes been not playing well and nothing to do with an Achilles injury…
MVP should go to the best player on the best team!
giannis got blown out by the nuggets and celtics and lost to embiid earlier, and he gets one win against the sixers. and now hes mvp? giannis dickriders are crazy
🤣🤣🤣Broussards face @0:17 when Nick said are they a top 5 team in the league
The only team that Boston could potentially lose to is the cavs ,because they matchup perfectly every other team it’s a wrap wrap
Makes zero sense how it's even tied or close ….Giannis has the better stats .. Better record .. Better defensively.. Better story (played most of thr years without his second best player) … With that in mind …WHAT MAKES IT TIED OR CLOSE ?! PLEASE EXPLAIN !
Embiid about to find out what KD had to deal with. Playoff Harden gonna be fun to watch again.
when ever i miss hearing stupid takes i tune in to this show
Why is Nick here? The man is lost.
Celtics going to send Philly home 100%. Nicks bias towards the sixers because he’s buddies with Morey is so evident. Morrey is the most overrated GM in the league.
Lmaoo Wildes at the end is right the MVP talk is becoming too contrived.
