Listen to Out of Character: sprtspod.fox/OOC
Nick does his homework, as usual. This show >>>>>> First Take.
Bro you and me could do a show and it would be better than First Take 💀🤣 First Thing's First is goated 🔥
I'm just here to see who's gonna debate these facts 🍿 ready
@@sabe2147savagely true!😂
First take is over. Undisputed used to be the best but now it’s all about First Things First
He never did his homework on Jokic
The only show I hit like before even watching. The chemistry is just a bliss
Harden is the Hobo of the nba
😂😂
Is he top 75 all time ⏲️
@@ronb3913duh
Dat hobo beard
James Harden made 33 million this year he not a Hobo lol
And yet, a lot of people blame LeBron for rampt player movement. He definitely opened their eyes, but LeBron plays out his contract at every team his signed with.
🎯
LeBron is a big reason! Everyone does it now
@XxFURYxXwarriorrr LeBron is doing it the right way everyone else is not honouring their commitment, which should se the blame fall on them not someone else.
The incessant LeBron D-riding never stops...
@@wolf7el356 I see da lbj hate never stops
Back for the best show in town
Hands down.. my brother and I was just saying that yesterday. There Chemistry is off the charts 👍🏾
Definitely. Now that ESPN has let go of half the staff and no more Undisputed...this is now my daily go to.
🙌🏾
Nah Shannon sharpe lol
Def one of my favorites now
Garden’s résumé:
0x Rings
3x Trade Demands
Leads the NBA in trade demands since 2020
One of the greatest runners ever
MVP
Scoring Champ
Multiple All NBAs
Sixth Man
Be real.
@@CyborgAkuma20022o lord
@@CyborgAkuma20022that’s all true, but the OP’s comment is also very true as well
Harden has lead a team to a conference finals more times than lilard, kyrie, durant, carmelo, kawhi and paul george... and all off them had good teams
@@cat740dt thank you
Nick Wright is the BEST sports analyst on TV right now. Simple as that.
This show should be the flagship show for FS1… these 3 are GREAT!!!!
I think it IS the flagship, now that Undisputed is gone! I mean Colin's more popular, but only because he has a syndicated radio show.
Harden's issue is that he's never accountable and constantly blames others for his shortcomings. He's beefed with almost every coach he's had and was unwilling to make real sacrifices to his game. Even when he became a distributor he still had the ball in his hands almost all the time as the main decision maker. He needs to hold himself accountable and stop quitting when he faces adversity.
like aaron rodgers
And so with Embid
Is bru crazy, why would the clippers send away all their depth for Harden? Thats nuts
That’s what they said abt suns for beal
Harden is a bust for any playoff team. He throws series for the bag. First things first sleeping on my Seattle boy Zack Lavine again. Put him with Embied and Maxy. He is a walking bucket. Him and Maxy would be leaving dudes in the dust on fast breaks, both of them are fast af.
Cause they’re the Clippers lol
Cuz there the flippers they can have westbrick and harden backcourt
What depth?
As a Sixers fan, Maxey and Joel are the only guys that are off limits to get Harden out of here
Chris Broussard for sports analyst MVP 🎉
Hardaway on the Knicks was 🔥🔥🔥 idc if they won or lost lol
Hot garbage
Nick Wright was in his bag here. That means a lot coming from me 😂😂
Bru He always is on point. He just arrogant with it so He gets hate. But Nick been Wright 😂
@@hightolerance8728 that’s a negative
Nick: Guys, Crumbl Cookie is not one of our sponsors!
Also Nick: Somebody get this man a Crumbl Cookie
😄
ESPN would’ve been better off buying this show for $85 million over McAfee
Harden has never been worth the drama.
Chris still salty Harden left the Nets 💀
James Harden has delivered the most joy to my city during my time as a Rockets fan. Heartbreak unfortunately often outweighed the joy
it’s sad his career is going the way it is. wherever he ends up, i hope he takes his nutrition and fitness level seriously. it’s not too late for him, but it’s gonna take some serious changes. Harden still has that elite skill and IQ, just needs to find a clear body and mind
Lmao chill out bro I think he’s alright, he has hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank and he plays a game for a living. Not that serious.
He is a career under achiever! Historically great during the regular season but historically bad during playoffs
@@kieransoregaard-utt8 it was serious enough that you felt the need to add your two cents
@@AAONMS1 thank you bot person
@@kieransoregaard-utt8 stop eating hot pockets everyday
Man.. this is literally the best show on tv!! The math math’s up!!!
They need the 2 hour show
How does kg ask for a trade 0.5 times?😂
Right? That’s what I was thinking 😂
Boston lol. Bc he did his thing for the twolves.
He said please
Kg left after yrs of t wolfs of ballin no help till he made the decision to go get it these dudes now play with more talent & it never works
Owner was 100% cool with trading him cause of what he did for them. Hints trading him to a great team
Thanks nick for a decent take
Daryl Morey vs James Harden is about to be the best fight since Hogan vs Macho Man
Harden averaged 11-5-6 on 30% shooting in his last playoff series in Brooklyn. Nick is right, he deserves no blame for what happened in Brooklyn
that long hold on Bru while KW was talking was great
Combine Nick’s trades.
76ers get: Dame
T-Wolves get: Harden
Blazers get: KAT +1 more contract and draft picks
Where are the draft picks coming from? Philly doesn't have any until 2029. And Minnesota isn't giving up KAT and draft picks for an old James Harden.
Heartless Harden, often injured Paul, George, and almost always injured Kawhi.
Which may allow Harden to return to his former self jacking up countless bad shots, while the media praising his stats while ignoring the inefficient play.
Wildes’ laugh cracks me up
everyday i wait for this show 2 come on 😂
Didnt Embiid put Towns in a headlock?
that fake mvp needs no recognition
Ben Simmons did that
I like this proposed trade 👍🏼
Been waiting for what these boys have to say about this
Mike Conley is wildes age 🤣
Sounds like a fair trade for everyone on the sixers, blazers and clippers.
I trade him to the raptors for Siakam.
Raptors ain't dumb
That's his Cameroonian brother, good to see you know 👏
Nick's 3 team trade is perfect. You can't ask for more for each team realistically
Embiid and Towns is like AD and Cousins. It would work to a degree, but ultimately would fail.
Embiid is nothing like Towns or Cousins at all. And AD is comparable but the difference is when Embiid gets hurt he’s not out that long and he plays thru his injuries even when the doctor says he shouldn’t. AD breaks a nail and is out for a month or two
@@revealingtruth3329 Obviously their not the exact same, but the idea would be having two potentially dominant big men in one starting 5. It wouldn't work.
This is very good news for Philly.
19:02 Please Crumbl Cookie, sponsor Brou
Harden trade request and surprise shouldn’t even be in the same sentence Brou😂
chris “if you take away the part of the season that matters most” brussard ladies n gentlemen 😂
Nick does his perfect homework, normally.
Wildes said he's jogging Away 😂
Exactly he should stay and go for it next year to another team. 76ers under nurse will be way better team
16:42 amazing 😆
I don't think they could do what the TNT guys do as good as them...but i also don't believe they could do this better.... awesome team all the way down to the laughter from the crew offscreen 💯😭
These Boys look real comfortable rite now with all the madness goin on at ESPEEN 😆😆
how is Broussard going to speculate about what Harden thinks and then undermine the speculation...as far away from journalism as you can get.
HE'S THE WORST!!!
@@ousmandiallo2823 did you see what he did? He put words in Harden's mouth and then criticized the words. Anything passes these days
@@smk4428 There was a show once on FS1 called Speak for yourself where LaVar Arrington called him out. He said that Broussard would pump up his best friend to go fight a bully that he knew his best friend wouldn't win that fight just to see his best friend get beat up! Real talk from LaVar Arrington who's parents where school teachers and LaVar is highly intelligent.
I’m not mad at Harden for leaving Houston, Brooklyn, or Philly. He gave Houston some great miles, just couldn’t beat the Warriors. He gave Brooklyn a chance but Kyrie flipped on the team. Philly was never going to be a lasting fit; Doc and Embid and the city in general aren’t his vibe.
I like him on the Clippers.
Harden finally getting the love he deserves gotta love it 💯
Harden averaged 11-5-6 on 30% shooting his last playoff series in Brooklyn, while his teammate averaged 35-11-5 on 50% shooting. Stop it
Technically KD twice once they refused him he agreed to stay then he asked out again
I agree with Nick
That first trade is good if you switch Zubac with Morris. That second trade doesn’t make sense, Towns + Embiid feels redundant, plus Minnesota is giving up the younger player.
They don’t have to trade him at all. Just play him
Bring out the CRUMBLE!!!
Crumbl
@@seanm3463 thanks “crumbl”
This show a million times better than Undisputed
I want the 76s to get off Harden’s and Harris’ contracts and build around Maxey and Embiid with 3 and D guys
Broussard needs to stop making up the situation with Harden. He didn't demand a trade. He's working to get a trade, and this is the best option for Philly. I think the main reason why Harden is leaving is because he wants to contend and get paid.
He wants to play shooting guard. He was a contender in Philly
Broussard is the absolute worst. He's just trying to make EMBIID team look bad cause he has venom towards EMBIID! There's a reason why they don't give him that respect and call him his full name. They he's despicable!
Please don't trade Maxey, true sixers fan
He’s not gonna be that good
Would be fun seeing Harden, Kawhi, PG, Norman Powell, Bones Hyland on the same team
Yep, with the first 3 together on the bench…in street clothes.
I actually don’t blame Harden for leaving Brooklyn
Me neither. But wanting to leave Philly when you got the reigning MVP and they fired the coach because you didn't like him, makes no sense. Now he looks like a crybaby.
I like the KAT trade good one Nick.
I actually like the KAT trade
For who? Philly? Cos it’s awful for Minnesota. At this point the Wolves have to build around Ant, Jaden and Naz as a young core. They’ve already got Rudy and Conley who are waaaay off that timeline. Last thing they wanna do is get another old guy who isn’t on that timeline
I like Nick's trade
Harden should dig down deep and tap into his better self and sell out to the Sixers title quest. It could happen and his life would be much much more peaceful.
James Harden in Chicago is nice! Lavine with Embid and Maxey…that might be nice to. Maybe Move Lonzo as well.
They need to reevaluate the communications portions of the rules and regulations
THIS WILL WORK GREAT
An All-Star with an expiring contract the year before the second apron kicks in? I think this year his contract has some extra strategic value.
The NBA has got to stop paying bums max money
Harden for Lowry and Herro or Westbrook Marcus Morris and something else.
Harden and Maxey for Kawhi
What’s up w/Westbrick 🤷🏿
Wildes is the guy who is taking the bad takes just for pushback today. He's sacrificing himself for the team.
🤣😭😭😭
He had the best take on James harden
harden took a paycut on a promise for a pay later.. 76ers didnt wanna pay him that simple
Best sports show on tv
If I’m Philly I would rather keep maxes and trade Thobias if possible
Nick was on a roll until he dissed Zach Lavine. It’s better to roll the dice on a guy who hasn’t made the playoffs than to keep a guy who consistently doesn’t show up to the big game.
Voting the 3rd best big man in the league MVP is why these awards mean nothing next to titles. Embiid and Harden are basically the same player. Great regular season players, conference finals playoff ceilings.
The odd couple > first things first
What can they get for him though?
as a Knicks fan, I hope he bs's around so much that embiid wants out, and wants to come to the Knicks lol, I know this is wishful dreaming but Robinson, Randle and 3-4 picks I think would be extremely fair for both sides plus harden then gets what he wants, he'll be that guy and he'll actually have more talent then his Houston days so he'll still be able to complete
As a Sixer fan I can tell you that your trade proposal for Embiid is pure BS and will never happen.
@@philalexander7902 lol well like I said wishful thinking on my part, but I wouldn't say it's BS, Randle is an all-star 25-10-4 and Mitchell is another 10-10-2 that's not bad at all, you get scoring from Randle, def/reb from Robinson plus randles contract will be up soon and pics......I think the idea of losing Embiid is what's really BS to you.....the trade isn't bad at all
@@kareempusey5032 the trade is horrible. We know all about Randle and we don't like him for all the same reasons Knicks fans don't like him. Embiid is under contract for 3 more seasons so he's not going anywhere. And there's zero chance the Sixers would trade him to the Knicks. Plus there's been absolutely no indication from Embiid that he's interested in the Knicks or in being traded at all. I understand the wishful thinking. We all do it as fans. I wish the Sixers never let Jimmy Butler walk I wish they could add Dame Lillard without giving up Maxey. Yes, it's nice to dream. And then reality sets in.
can't wait for harden's 4th trade demand
Harden out here playing 2k with all these trade demands
I WASNT SURPRISED LMAO
Harden really thinks he's THE GUY lol. He's not.
People were really surprised??? If you get with someone who has a history of cheating, would you really be surprised if they cheat on you?
I am so special that girls with a cheating history do NOT cheat one me. Still a perfect 6-0 like MJ23
@@matchhunter7012 I like it. I feel the same ;) just an example
Why can’t anybody see the bulls are a point guard away
I miss Skip and Shannon on Undisputed.
Poor baby.
I don't really tbh
@easymoneysniper9013 of course not, KD
Running is correct he don't want the expectations of having to win and if u play poorly and it's made to be a big deal
Facts
We need Chris Carter back!!
This show will eventually take over Undisputed. Without Shannon, Skip is the worst thing to watch ever.
Nick with these random top 10 numbers.😂😂😂😂
I think Harden, Westbrook, Kyrie, and a few others are on the "three years left" career bubble. Their running out of places to play. Its a matter a time till we'll hear retirement.
If they trade for Harden its just going to be an older version of the
2019-2020 Houston Rockets with him an Westbrook leading the team after Kwahi and PG are out for the season
he's a runner he's a track star, he gone run away when it gets hard
I wouldn't trade Maxey straight up for Dame, let alone with other stuff
Say that again 🤔 I don't think u heard u correctly 🤣🤣🤣
@@nittygritty7463 I said, I wouldn't trade Maxey straight up for Dame, let alone with other stuff.
🤡 clown ! Nuh said
LeBron NEVER requested a trade... Will ya look at that😏
Harden was never coming back to the Rockets. His camp and sports media drove that lie.
