Chris and Wildes to funny didn’t they pick the Celtics to win it😂
I can not listen to Nick anymore. In this century(Shaq to complicated to include), based on achievements, Jokic is only behind Duncan and LBJ, in the group with Steph and Giannis as undisputedly the best player on championship team. Following are Kawhi(with an asterix), Dirk, then KD and Wade. It is disrespectful from Nick to repeatedly compare potential future GOAT of basketball with Wade, Dirk and KD. Nikola Jokic has been best basketball player in the world for last 3 years and he is still improving. The next thing may be impovement to elite defense and based on the way he works and improves, this may not be far…
Love to see skip Bayless and Chris Broussard
This would be an awesome show if Wildes talked more and Nick was just a little more intelligent. Nick's good and I like his enthusiasm and love of the game, but he's just outright stupid more often than not.
who let this Nick out? he gotta pay for letting a fool out of the pound.
So glad Jokic can join Luka as an all-time great in Nick’s eyes. Luka obviously earned his all-time status long ago…
Man they ain't beat no great teams. Stop with the this was a great playoff run.
I am so glad Brousard brought up the point of people relying too heavy on rings when ranking and comparing players. There are players who've never won rings that are better than players who led or were major contributors to championship teams.
Nick saying he was the worst mvp in 35 years will forever be etched iny brain.
The beginning of this almost made me spit out my drink 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I respect Jokic most for winning a championship with the team he was drafted by. Unlike all those other "superstars" who deserted their original team to go to established teams to win, or try to win.
Broussard after picking the Warriors and the Nuggets won the title 😎😎😎
Buroussard's not fooling anybody. He didn't have even an inkling of consideration for the Nuggets being this far. A lot of spelling errors in those bylaws.
Jokic wasn’t on the top 75 list…he would be no question now!
Nick is missing a number of serious "All Time Greats" that were cemented as such since 2000. Players like Allen Iverson, Kevin Garnett, Kawai Leonard, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul and Ray Allen. I somewhat understand his take about Jokic being vaulted higher too soon (people are very prisoner of the moment), but he needs to better define what criteria are being used to declare someone an "All-Time Great" vs. a perenial all-star.
Proceeds to insert LEBRON'S name out of the blue
Nuggets had the easiest run in playoff history. Not impressed at all. Beat three play-in teams and the broken suns that have no chemistry.
These guys are awesome 😂😂
People will complain even though they picked the Suns and the Lakers to win. But will say it was easy because they played all high seeds lol. Make it make sense.
These Denver Nuggets almost swept the Miami Heat. If Jamal Murray had made that 3 points shot towards the end of Game 2, these Denver Nuggets could have also swept the Miami Heat in this year's 2023 NBA Finals, like they swept AD, Lebron James and the LA Lakers in this year's 2023 Western Conference Final. Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets team and its organization! The big question now, is who can defeat these Healthy Denver Nuggets team next year in next year's playoffs, that is if these Denver Nuggets team stays very healthy? Peace…
I don’t know why Broussard is happy he had Nuggets out in round 2.
Hilarious 🤣
Even the Broussard curse couldn’t tilt this lopsided finals
Honestly love these 3.. they keep us laughing
Too many teams in the playoffs boring
Did he say Jamal Murray is 6’2?
How do u change ur finals pick 4 times then have a cictort lap lmaooo…brou is a clown
The clock finally struck midnight on the Miami Heat in games 3 and 4. It took longer than expected but it eventually happened.
Kawhi in Toronto?
😂😂😂😂😂
Nick is high if he thinks people came harder for Giannis than jokic
So does this mean the curse is broken
The opening of this show was hilarious. I'm starting to make this show a can't miss.
Next, Nuggets had an exceptional run. Though I don't think beating Suns is as special as the other teams. I say that because Phoenix isn't really a team yet. They just formed this year and they had no bench due to needing to gut their team.
Mavs fan here but yeah, Jokic is better than Dirk.
My only prob with the vid is that they always keep Durant ahead of Jokic in any list and the argument they use for not putting Barkley over is because of not winning championship. If Durant never came to the Warriors, he will only be in the same boat as Barkley; whereas Jokic, a 2x MVP, carried his own team to the championship. When all is said and done, Jokic will be ahead of KD who has multiple MVP and AllStar teammates and only had 1 ring to show for coming from a team which is capable of winning a ring without him.
The best big men right now is Giannis and Jokic.. embiid still hasn’t showed he has what it takes to win it all..
I watched the game and I never thought the Heat was winning
Only Broussard can say "i was wrong." Wright is like a Fonzi that just can't say it. He won't remember that reference like most of you. But he'll still try to speak for America. "Down on Jimmy series?" He just lost the last series. Nick doesn't judge it on record unless it's game 4. Because those that win it, win it all.
Nick Wright is a clown 🤡
I still love Nick, no matter how wrong he was about Jokic. It sounds like he can take being wrong and still fool around. Show is great, Jokic the best player in the world.
