The NBA is just under a week away and the Brooklyn Nets continue to go viral. This time, Ben Simmons went viral for air-balling a jump shot during the team’s outdoor open practice. Simmons responds to criticism saying that ‘it finds me all the time and it comes with being Ben Simmons right now.’ Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Kevin Wildes react to Simmons’ comments, including on how Nets fans should feel about the team this season.

KYRIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“You got to have tough skin” says the guy who sat out an entire season because his feelings were hurt
This is gonna be the best season of first things first.
Dawg KYRIE IRVING WAS BORN IN AUSTRALIA TALKING LIKE THIS 😭😭😭
Skip has made undisputed unwatchable for quite some time. This show is the one 🐐
the fact nba "analysts" on tv with a straight face pick clipoers & nets 3 years running yet thnk they have credibility .. lol.. nope !
Bring back Brandon Marshall
I cannot believe you guys made this a topic of discussion. Incredibly sad and pathetic
I don't the kyrie hate
easily my favorite sports show rn.
also nick looks high af lmao
Broussard ! Haha! The closest sleep thing! Haha
this hate is crazy. mention it & move on.. but y'all giving a whole segment
LMAO @"It was a close sweep"…
How……and I do mean HOW….. can you brag about being the only team in last year's playoffs to get swept?
First Things First is becoming to sports, what The Daily Show is to the news.
I have to admit, even tho Nick gets on my nerves…this show has gotten much better. They have great chemistry and are funny af lol.
Nets winning the East I said it
Wait. There is more. Kyrie Irving's thoughts and feelings:
Conspiracy theories
In February 2017, Irving stated in an interview for a podcast that he believes that the Earth is flat. In a later interview, he was less forceful in advancing his flat Earth belief, encouraging people to "do their own research" into the topic. In September 2017, Irving denied these claims and said that media misunderstood him as he was joking. However, in a June 2018 interview, when asked if he would admit that the world is round, he said "I don't know. I really don't", and added that people should "do [their] own research for what [they] want to believe in" because "Our educational system is flawed". In October 2018, Irving apologized for his original flat Earth comments.
Irving also stated that he believes in other conspiracy theories, such as the idea that John F. Kennedy was killed because he wanted to end the banking cartel.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic and his hesitancy to receive a vaccine against the virus, Irving has shared and interacted with social media posts from a conspiracy theorist on Instagram, claiming that "secret societies are administering vaccines in a plot to connect Black people to a master computer for a plan of Satan".
Yooo Wildes said “you want me on that corner”!! I hollered 😂😂😂
Nick Wright too scared to talk about Redeem team as it will exposed his goat. Lmfao!
Get Acho and Nick a show already and quit playing!!!
Leave ben alone a lot of you people can't cook.
Ben needs to tell all of you guys to F off and leave me alone
You can really tell they're scared that Kyrie Irving might have gotten red pill and he can now see the lies of the Democrats🤣🤣🤣🤣👅
Ben: I won't take anything seriously, it's social media….
After writing a paragraph proving hes taking it seriously🤣🤣🤣 All good Ben, people gonna talk regardless if you win or lose my guy.
Doc also doesn't know if they can win with Embid but no one said that.
Ben just had Gianni’s in rikers island and y’all wanna talk about a airball? At a park gathering ?
3 dudes who couldn’t hold ben’s jock strap criticizing his form.
Somehow after everything I still didn’t see Kyrie somehow having some batshit take/rant in response to Ben Simmons air ball
A super pathetic subject to have to show Ben Simmons is soft, and Kyrie as a nut case. When I’m fact, there are plenty of players who feel the same way Ben feels. No matter what Kyrie says, someone will shame him for it. Talking circles or giving blunt facts. The trolls will always be under bridges.
"The closest sweep of all time"🤣😂
I liked this show better when you weren’t in studio. This looks weird.
Kangaroo 🦘 Ben beeeen fooling ppl since he won ROTY in his second season! Zero heart!!!
Ish so predictable. Always extra critical to Kyrie or Ben. Call AD fragile but not Kawhi
That's idiotic!!! Media are making a single shot not even in a offcial nba court and nba game an issue!!!!!This media people are Fault finder to its worst!!!BAAAAAD!!! Really bad.
i love how this is the only talk show that doesnt care about one person has to have different opinions and lie about how they feel like skip and stephen a shows do. They just actually speak they're mind and even if they have saame opinion its really entertaining from what they add to it. shows needa take notes
Actually we’re on you for quitting on your team in the playoffs, refusing to play for a year, abusing the mental health card and still expecting a full salary. Slight difference.
I will never respect this bum 😹
man the Ben Simmons drama continues 🤣
Nice to see the YouTube comments full of positivity and complements for the show 🙂
this dude better make those open shots when he's open bc he will see looks
They’re so funny man, great show
Chris is great
