Nick wright loves Lebron James…too much
It is borderline creepy spooky and scary
Listen to Eminem - Stan
Lebron James = Eminem
Nick wright = Stan
The fact the Cavs didn't hear from lebron at all about the coaching staff before he left the first time shows HE ALREADY MADE HIS MIND UP AND WAS LEAVING. 😂😂😂😂 LMAO DUH

@@cameronbradley1415❤
Wildes looks different today
Probably a different makeup artist
Also not as funny today
Not tryna be mean but he has a punchable face😅
Some photoshopped out his jawline.
He got surgery
This show isn't the same without a certain gentleman hosting
It’s better with the new British wildes
The show is terrible with Nick generally, and especially Wildes being out.
You mean the gentlemen of all gentlemen.
@@litany21oh shut up😅 the show is great. You will survive without wildes for a few days haha Jesus
@@colterwilliams3152 I don’t watch the show, I just know Wildes is great on there and Nick is a cancer to sports media.
So with Wildes' 1st Team All Gentleman selection... Is he now eligible for a supermax from FS1?
Don’t forget that bron bestie rich Paul sent a letter to each voter and demanded them to vote bron bron the spot this past season
Yes a super max in FS1 terms is an appearance on undisputed😂
The gentlemen-max contract. Wildes deserves it.
@@alfieb6711 the are no gentlemen on Undisputed. Paul Pierce might be the Truth but he's in no way a gentleman.
All these reports of SAS wanting $25M per year, where's Wildes' supermax, huh? Where's the gentlemen-max contract?
True🤔
Facts 🤔
Wildes is not as divisive as SAS. I love Wildes
The gentlemen-max contract. I like that. You took the words right out of my mouth.
1st team all gentlemen 10 years in a row. It’s insane tbh
New guy cool but we need Wildes
💯
He’s celebrating in Boston
Wildes burner
@@freemaxb6533wildes is better than your grandpas son, next
facts!!!!
I like the new dude he gets back at Nick about the LeBron stuff. 😂😂
They are best friends off the air
Good, calling out his trolling, I need more of it
Nick is the most delusional Lebron fanboy. Without Lebron, JJ Reddick would be creating TH-cam videos.
@@bigpoppa6658 1000% correct, and is also a Klutch client, literally.
@@litany21 I think they were friends in college.
I really miss Wildes, but Danny Parkins did a good job. Would like to see him again from time to time!
New guy is cool (keep bringing him back) but we all love wildes.
Nick is truly gifted at planting a LeBron excuse seed in every segment
I actually agree more with Nick on these topics. We don't know anything so just assume LeBron is guilty of this and that as a default? Why does Rob Pelinka even get a paycheck if LeBron runs everything. That narrative was always too farfetched for me but if you dislike LeBron it's for sure true with no real evidence lol.
👍You are %100 on point. It's so blatantly obvious it's disgusting
None of y’all work for the lakers so what excuse are you talking about?? You literally just making it up because you hate lebron which trickles down to you hate nick when it has to do with lebron. Lebron hate is mental illness
Remember when rich Paul sent a letter to the voters demanding them to vote bron the dpoy.. ?
Yet lebron fans want to claim Jordan had some made up stats lol.
Never seen Jordan’s camp demand a award that not even his to begin with let alone win it
@@mohamedelmi4539well we know more than enough to make reasonable assomptions, LBJ does not run "everything" but he has too much influence and almost 0 responsibility (it's always somebody else's fault).
He’s making nick mad by saying Lebron did something lol
I like the addition of Danny Parkins
Facts
Agreed. He’s sharp
" he has coached no one over 12 yrs old" haha that had me laughing myself
Lebalco always have to make everything about him he ain't leaving LA the coverage he gets is insane he is not winning a title again it's over he's just padding stats which is fine good for him
Still NOT giving Boston's coach credit. I wonder why?
They did give mazzula credit a few episodes ago and said he deserves an extension and even apologized.
And called him a top coach too
@@mussymuss1why tell the truth when a lie is more entertaining?
@@Luminous03 That's a good point.
They could have at least told new guy dark grey today😂
Lmao left em out the loop
JT and JB are prolly the healthiest duo in this 7 years span
Can't get a full sentence in and Nick interrupted 😂
Cmon! LBJ is involved, lets not fool ourselves😂😂😂
They really think the fans are slow or all kids without fully developed frontal lobes…😂😅
remember when bron wanted ty lue to be the coach n the lakers didn’t get it done but for sum reason you think now they all of a sudden started to listen to him
@@mcbjonwrong! Lakers listened to Lebron and sent Ty Lue an offer.. Clippers just outbid them
@@gclay3176 loud and wrong technically sure the clippers did "outbid" but bc the lakers offered him a terrible deal that was easy to outbid they didnt really try to get him just wanted to make it seem like they tried same thing this offseason with dan hurley so yeah atleast you tried tho
@@gclay3176 sending an offer means nun they low balled him same with hurley
he asked them for mid season trade to get rid of russ they couldve to indiana for 2 better pieces they couldve traded for anything else... what jeanie say lebron aint running the lakers
If aliens invaded then the response would be "How will this affect the Lakers title chances?"
😂😂
And you still be watching
I mean I think it depends if the Lakers draft Brony or not. If they don't and they can get some veterans during free agency, then I think they would have a chance against our impending galactic overlords. With the 3 being so prevalent now, anything can happen!
Take that to a different show, these guys are priceless
No it’s more “how does this affect lebrons legacy?”
Love when Danny joins the show, solid addition. Really missin Wildes but this show is always the First Thing (First) I watch after work. Keep it up guys!!
Reddick is NOT on the Lakers radar at all without Lebron wanting this...
Stop it..
So…
Yeah cause you know lebron personally and you aren’t just regurgitating the narratives of haters
Remember when rich Paul sent a letter to the voters demanding them to vote bron the dpoy.. ?
Yet lebron fans want to claim Jordan had some made up stats lol.
Never seen Jordan’s camp demand a award that not even his to begin with let alone win it
@@Hail2daChiefI’m sure lakers would hire him if Bron didn’t want him
@@trvspvrkfor sure.
The same way they didn't hire Lou when LeBron wanted. Or even Ky
The ultimate decision is the Lakers
I like the new guy. Doesn't let slick Nicky get away with bs. And I'm sure he's playing nice since he's the guest too.
I’m a bron fan but this show is goin way to hard to advocate for the fact that bron had nothing to do with this
Lol. It's comical
So who cares if he did or not
@@josenunez611 yea that’s the point they’ve been goin really hard to say he has nothing to do with for what?
Yep, clearly atleast one Klutch sports agent is on this show lol
@@josenunez611Nick obviously does, he’s been bringing up diff narratives even before it happened…
Boston have 5 guys who can defend and shoot and have good size

Dan should grow a beard for sure, haha

Kobe got people comparing pau gasol to shaq. One of his crowning achievements
I would argue that the 08-10 Lakers was not average Gasol Odom Bynum Ariza Fisher good team.
@@shawnmarques7117that was a well rounded team even had solid role players like Shannon brown and Sasha Vujacic.
@@shawnmarques7117how they look after they left kobe

Totally agree. He's the check and balance.
He’s good but they need a female on the squad

The confidence gained & earned from this year should indeed make the Celtics the hands down favorites for next year

@@disintegrateallhumans3067 I mean, C's had a winning record against every team they faced, even before their injuries. But if it makes you feel better about Boston converting their historic record into a Finals championship, be my guest…
Lebron James to opt out of contract and sign veteran minimum with Celtics.
Celtics make it further than past champs., back to finals at least.
The only people who believe Lebron had no say in Reddick getting the job are Nick Wright and the agent Lebron told to plant that story.
All those other teams struggled to get to the finals years before and after. This Celtics team has been there before and that is the difference.
this is a solid argument for them to repeat
Um...GS Warriors
@@warriorjennings5115 I would agree that they pose a threat to BOS… except it's so evident they're on the decline. Celtics' peak was timed almost perfectly with the demise of their strongest opposition.
@@warriorjennings5115 warriors needed time to adjust to KD leaving and actually having to try to win the title. And the one they won in 22 was against an inexperienced, overachieving Celtics team. Celtics have been one piece away for years now, and this year they finally figured it out. This Celtics team is in the same position as the warriors were at the start of their dynasty
@@warriorjennings5115 They had some mid seasons before 2022 (after their previous title runs)
I’m liking Danny! Hope to see more of him moving forward!
Tatum and Brown would've been had a title if Smart played Smarter ie: I never seen Smart take his person down to the dunker spot or hit threes when he was supposed to like: Jrue Holiday. Repeat is in the horizon.
I still remember when jrue ripped him clean and threw it off him to get the ball out of him. That time Even smart was Out Smarted 🤦🏽♂️🤣
I'm not about to start hearing Smart slander; he might not have been the smartest (pun firmly intended…), but he was always 100%. He was part of the growth for the Jays, and for that, I thank him, even if ultimately we needed to move on from him to achieve the final goal.
@@vitreo1363 oh nah can’t slander him he earned the hearts of us fans☘️🙏🏽 and we don’t take for granted how he helped the Jays grow,but Jrue was able to unlock something
As a Celtics fan, I think the strength of Boston is its ability to absorb injuries due to having multiple guys. Everyone said "Boston needs KP to win the Finals", but KP was injured for most of the Finals and Boston still won convincingly. This team has so much talent that's spread out across so many players that they can afford an injury and still be a great team. It's also hard to gameplan for Boston. They don't have one clear cut #1 guy that you can home in on (as Boston did to Luka). If you throw everything at Tatum, Brown will go off. If Brown and Tatum are both smothered, then Jrue or KP or even Old Man Al will step up to deliver. Add into that some roleplayers with confidence (how many teams would let a guy in Pritchard's position take a half-court shot like that?) and this is a team that's hard to beat and hard to plan for.
HEY NICK 🍀🏆18 from Dorchester
That Klutch paycheck tho 😮💨
You can't seriously think LeBron had nothing to do with jj being the coach
JJ Reddick. Title guaranteed with all his coaching experience!
NBA 2k Twitch streamer was a better option than JJ
Remember when rich Paul sent a letter to the voters demanding them to vote bron the dpoy.. ?
Yet lebron fans want to claim Jordan had some made up stats lol.
Never seen Jordan’s camp demand a award that not even his to begin with let alone win it
Lakers in 6 stop playing🏆
I'm Not a Boston fan...but they are doing something that NO other team is doing in the NBA...KEEPING THERE CORE...
that is how you build
Larry Bird had NO COACHING experience and took the Pacers to the Finals they just say anything now on tv for views 😅
Maybe learn to read the graphic before GOING OFF?
Luke is not in the same universe as Tatum right now. Tatum is the only complete superstar in the game right now.
I like this version of Wilde's,,, he bounces the conversation around with serious points like a grown up
I love how he left Larry bird off the list
There is no team in the East that can beat us as presently constructed. Out West, a team I'm wary of other than the obvious Nuggets threat is OKC especially because we don't have a physical rebounding big man which is their weakness
1:11 nobody speaks of denvers road to the finals last year they played the 8th seed the 4th seed disfunctional suns the 7th seed in the wcf and the 8th seed in the finals how much easier does it get
The 1st seed got to play lower seeds? That never happens!
@@bigmadafaca1020 three low teir teams and a weak 4th seed but its never spoken of
Except for the 1st round they beat healthy teams that got put in front of them I don't get what's to talk about? Who's fault is it that the "low seed" Lakers and Heat beat everyone else?
@@bigmadafaca1020 the lakers were bot healthy 😭and the suns were the suns 😭the rhetoric change for certain players/teams that was literally the easiest finals run in history but everybody hates Boston
@@micahmcfadden8082 ??? Everyone the Celtics faced were missing their best players except the Mavs, who did the Lakers miss last year? It's not even comparable
Jeanie just continuously destroying the Buss legacy. What a disgrace.
To argue Lebron had nothing to do with JJ being hired is stupid.
Id like proof over baseless assumptions
The question is, what qualifies as “something”? Ownership asking if he likes JJ could be “something”. Bron sitting in the meetings as they go through coaching candidates and he’s pressuring them to sign JJ is “something”.
JJ is a former player-turned youtuber who’s never even assistant coached a professional team. The ONLY connection he has to coaching a professional team is that his podcast partner is on the team.
@@lancesilvis4085what does that have to do with anything? He was interviewed by the Hornets and Raptors for a HC job last year lmao way before the Podcast was a thing..
I think JJ would have been better served with the Pistons. There's 0 expectations there, all you need to do is win 15 games to not be as terrible as Monty Williams. You are probably gonna get top draft picks your first few years and not being a historically bad coach is a win. With the Lakers? He can't waste LeBron's last years learning to coach.
Monty thought that too. 1st year into his contract he got clipped
@@smithwes2723 yeah but he was historically bad
How on earth do people think Lebron and JJ haven’t talked about this??? They keep making it to be “well Lebron hasn’t called Rob Pelinka” bro, he OBVIOUSLY has talked with JJ about it. OBVIOUSLY.
The West is very brutal - For most teams, not the Lakers. The Lakers can beat any team, sans Denver. Denver is just a matchup problem for them. Minnesota I would say is a toss up, but after that that’s literally it.
Mavs - No, lol. Thunder - Never lol. Clippers - Are cooked, it’s Kawhi. Suns - No way on Earth, can they even get past the 1st or 2nd round anymore?
Lakers just need to be Top 6 & all bets are off. West is wide open next year
See how fast this turned into just an average show without Wildes?
Says you
Definitelyyyy becomes average af. Not bad average but just average. Wildes...is a wild card lol
It’d be average without either of the 3
from a side profile viewpoint i just thought i was seeing 2 Nick Wrights with different hairstyles
8 mil a year with no coaching experience
I don't see how JJ is going to be respected as a coach when he hasnt won anything as a player and hes only about 5 years out the league.
I think after their performance against Dallas, which wasnt even their best by shooting efficiency and scoring standards, Boston certainly should have the stand alone best odds for winning this next year's title. This team is/was built to repeat, and the East is in flux
Healthy kStaps changes everything
Healthy KStaps that actually plays like he's 7'2
@@a.r.t93that’s wat I say about KAT lol
danny and nick got great chemistry love to see it
I was just thinking about Lebron being in the NBA well before JJ was even drafted. Can you imagine that dynamic in the lockeroom and on the court? Get your popcorn.
Celtics can make it again, the east isn’t deep enough
The mavs tough road was the LA Cripples then two daycare 😂
Wright has this way that the topic could be about the moon, and Nick Wright would make it about Lebron and the Lakers... It's a mortal lock.
well there ya go, if nick wright said no repeat i guess we can mark it down that the celtics will go back to back now..... lol
Can’t wait until these Celtics repeat and still have to listen to haters.
Anthony Davis averaged 28 and 15 in this years playoff why dont talk about Lebrons inability to close those games
Kerr doesn't count... Marc Jackson made that team and then was pushed out.
Eat crow guys, Go Celtics
LeGm is gonna get jj fired
Stop

This guy filling in is good he done take forever talking but where is coach and Greg 😂
“Lebron had no say in Reddick hire” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm pretty sure LeBron was asked but he doesn't make the final decision on the hire, an what franchise wouldn't run it past their superstars on a coaching decision you think kobe or Jordan wouldn't have a say on who they wanted as their head coach, the only difference is they already had a hall of fame coach when they were playing so they didn't need a coaching change
@@CharlesWilkinson-yc3dm if you think Lebron wasn’t a big part of why Reddick was hired then you are naive. Really not much else to say

"the lakers defensed their title EXCELLENTLY the 1st half if the year"
Ummmm, what?! Since when do we judge title defenses off of how the regular season went?? Nick just always trying to gas up lebron, find a woman who treats you like how nick treats lebron...
Why’d you leave out the second half of the sentence? He said they were defending their title excellently until everything fell apart with LeBron and AD’s injuries. He was just reciting history. Stop looking for things to be mad about.

Injury played a part ...Thats the reason they lost on the first round
Celtics are so good people think they’re road tot he finals were easy ! That’s how good this Celtics team is. they were blowing opponents out on a consistent basis and playing top tier defense people think they’re run is easy because of how good they are
Nah. Giannis can punk that whole team.
Seems to me they built a team like the bulls that nic doesn’t think could have beat any of lebrons competition. Long athletic and play defense where everyone knows their role. Hmm maybe the Bulls would have been ok playing today Nic

Great conversation gentlemen
Wow Nick, you actually let Brou get almost two full sentences in before you started interrupting him. You’re worse than Skip at this point.
Bro, no one is worse than skip… that’s why his show is headed down the tubes
@@richardklambie fair point. I def feel this show much more than Undisputed. Skip is so out of touch it’s practically criminal. I’m 44 so I’m an old head too, but Skip is off the rails. And Key isn’t doing that show any favors either. The Truth is the water wings desperately trying to save three lives.
He’s a Skip Bayless-lite, he does that stuff intentionally being a troll on TV for ratings
Skips show dying is the slowest death in world history. Start charging the man rent because letting him live in your heads rent free aint right.
Great show, thanks.
"He has coached no one over 12 years old." 😂
Why doesn’t the nuggets easy road to the ring get talked about?
The media just out here coddling Jokic
When Murray threw the ice pack some of the media turned on them and brought how none of the teams they beat in the 23 run won 50 games.
@@maroonporsche that is true but the reason they don’t talk about is is because they hype up the west as world beaters
2 play in teams and 2 injured teams is who the nuggets had to vs last yr. Honestly easier than the Celtics who had a comically easy schedule as well
0-5 series record against 50 win teams
The easy road they should be talking about is the Mavs -oldest team in the league (LAC) > 2nd youngest team in the league (OKC) > inexperienced team that spent all their energy to beat the champs (MIN).
BTW, it's funny that the regular season doesn't matter when talking about BOS' 60+ wins, but it matters when their opponents don't reach 50 in the same regular season…
If Celtics stay together they def might repeat. That Celtics team is all time great
You’re young
If lebron and pg end up in Philly this summer to pair with maxey and Joel that team beats Boston
@@jimmyjohns7866 That could be a challenge… if it ever happens. Sounds like a pipe dream.
Broussard says 'hopefully the league will get on top of players going down due to injury...blah blah blah'. How tf are they supposed to do that exactly?
Wright is low key flexing on the new ninja, I smell a little insecurity here 😂
They need Bol Bol to give kStaps a break
Get over the bol bol phenomenon...it's clear there is some issues with him...he too talented to become a journeyman
If they can get him to put more effort into his game (heard Shaq's critique of him…), he might be worth a look.
Nick do not like the Celtics man lol straight hater
Nick hates every Boston team except the Cannons. Maybe.
Boston's more underrated skill that they have over almost every other team is health. Knock on wood, but outside of Porzingus none of the top 8 guys ever miss. Al sits, but it's management rather than him actually being hurt. Contrast that with Denver or Milwaukee where Jamal is hurt often enough and Giannis has missed the last 2 postseasons because of injury.
People need to stop sleeping on that 09 Lakers team that was one of the most dominant teams ever. They went to 3 straight finals, had Kobe, Gasol, Artest, Bynum and 6th man of the year Odom
It's funny how people say the west is better than the east. Yet throughout history the east has way more rings than the west
I don't think history has anything to do with the present status of the league and I don't think it's even a remote question the West is better. The Spurs stink, yet they have Wemby. The Grizz stunk, and they have Ja coming back. The Blazers might be the only legit bad team in the west next year. Compare that to the East. Detroit, Washington, Toronto, Charlotte and Brooklyn all stink with almost no hopes of getting better. Atlanta is trying to rebuild and Chicago, well if they were in the west they'd probably be the second worst team in the league and they'll likely get another play in spot in the east next season.
Look at the top of the league. Especially building on young teams with some playoff success, all of OKC, Dallas and Minny are expected to be improved and Denver is still top notch. It leaves a team like the Lakers with AD and Bron who with a little luck could be a top 3 team in the east will likely be battling in the playin in the west.
@@francescosmith7859well said !
@@francescosmith7859 I guess it depends on how the offseason goes, but I think the balance is not as one sided as you claim. As it stands, I don't see any daylight for UTA any time soon, so you might be underselling how many teams might be bad in the West besides POR. Rockets could also be fighting GSW to stay out of the cellar, again, depending on what the latter do, but it's going downhill quickly. The east might have a lot of bad teams, but that's because it's top heavy; take the top 5 in the East and you'll find 2 champions from the last 5 years -MIL and BOS-; do the same in the West, and it's only DEN in the top 5. I think this Finals result proved that competitiveness is relative; DAL having long series against OKC doesn't mean the Thunder are ready to challenge for a title. If anything, it proved DAL, and the teams they beat, were not as strong as they appeared to be.
I love how ppl say the Celtics had an easy road Mitchell played and got “hurt” I think he gave up and didn’t want to put the effort in to get back in the series. Pacers fell 3-0 and Halliburton gave up with his so called Injury wasn’t the Celtics fault teams gave up.
Even with those guys not injured, those are some pretty bad teams lol those teams that should be get ting laughed out of the first round
@Bobbleheads56 yea and I don't think I've heard anyone else say those teams gave up! It's just how bad they are without their "best" player.. and Indiana didn't go down 3-0 and Tyrese got hurt... he got hurt in game 3 if I'm right, then they lost and lost again when he didn't play in game four.. and for anyone saying those teams had given up then I think it's bad they lost a game to 2 different teams with such bad players.
Kevin brings sarcasm and humor to the show. People hate Nick because he defends LeBron James.
New guy is pretty chill
Kerr inherited a super team. Mark Jackson built that team.
Nick gotta stop talking so much
Fr. Second episode straight he let brou talk, then hears Danny say 4 words and jumps in
The way yall downplayed the loss of jeff green and bruce brown is crazy. They were critical to hiding Jokic on defence in the payoffs
Boston’s starting five all play defense, at a very high level. Barring injury, Celtics will make a number of championship runs.
Why does the new guy talk like that???
??
how
😂😂😂 I can’t describe it either but it’s like a bass talking in human form maybe? Lol
