You can’t tell me this man Damonza isn’t the spitting image of PJ Washington
Bro look like Bryce young’s evil twin
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he lowkey looks like both but the pj comp is close
Jordan Poole
Lmao I was gonna say hes a mix of PJ Washington, Bryce Young, and Jordan Poole and all those names are already on this comment thread 😂
@@tressiepiggee9290lmfaoooooo
Congrats Nick for getting PJ Washington on the pod. That's a big get.
Shoutout to PJ Washington still finding time to co-host with Nick today
Man, Nick was about to end the show and then Damonza asked that Wemby question that got him cooked. His laugh was so contagious, I laughed out for a solid 5 minutes. Thanks for that. Great show as always.
1:13:14 The Wemby to the knicks bit at the end was hilarious. These glimpses into the mind of Damonza are always a treat :)
Nick is the smartest man in the sports talk world
Sometimes yes sometimes ehhhhhh
The guys at thinking basketball are smarter. Plus I’m sure there are lots of smaller guys who are smarter but less charismatic. I’d say Nick of one of the smartest guys on the most popular shows
LeBron had people thinking getting to the NBA finals 8 straight years was easy
been sayin this 😂
By all the disrespect people give it doesn't seem to matter getting there unless you win it. Obviously that's stupid but it's out there.
Celtics have kinda done the same in the East but not quite as well, multiple years of ECF+, it stopped after coming West
@@rolandheinze7182 no they havent 😅😅 better off sayin miami cuz at least they went to 2 finals
Nah, these haters still don't get it. Because hate is clouding their insane membrane.
Nick dropping NBA history lessons >>>
Karl Anthony Towns defensive assignments in these playoffs: Kevin Durant, and Nikola Jokic. Wolves are 8-3. Flowers.
Nick doesn’t wanna talk about all nba rookie teams because he mocked Michael Jordan for months for picking Brandon Miller over Scoot
I feel like not enough people talk about how much jokics lack of defense affects the nuggets, clearly he is worth building around but they just flat out cant protect the rim, they need to get another big to play some defense
bUt ThE ADvaNcEd MeTRicS SaY HiS DeFeNSe iS GrEAt!!
That’s the biggest weakness of the team. If they can’t load up on a single offensive weapon then defensively they are compromised. Lebron was trying to expose it but I think he’s just was alil too aged to do it for a full series let alone a game
He’s an underrated defender. The advanced stats all show he’s a top 30 defensive player. It’s the team letting two elite perimeter defensive players walk that was noticeable
Idc what the stats say the games are all on tv, he cant jump and contest
@@sfslax I guess that’s where we have different views. I don’t see him as a liability on the screen. Just not elite. What he does he does well and not everything on defense is about athleticism. Different players have different skill sets and have different roles
I’m not a joker fan but funny how Nick says take a pause on joker but talks about Trevor like he is a top 5qb
He talks about him like he’s a top 5 talent who hasn’t had an infrastructure around him to succeed. Not that I necessarily agree
@@jayMyles23 he changed his tune after last season. But he has been consistently ranking him in the top 5 ish as high as 3. Now he still claims he is a top ten.
lol precisely 0 correlation, don't hurt yourself reaching my man
Find you a partner with as much faith and love in you as Nick does for Caleb, the Prince or LeBron.
Yeah he’s too much on Trevor but is fair on Nikola right now
Nick the takes in this episode were legendary, your knowledge base on sports is insane especially your favorite sports. You’ve been my favorite Sports analyst on Tv/internet for years. Nd that word you were looking for earlier in the pod when you were speaking the Nuggets was “reverence”.
Nick hasnt given himself nearly enough credit for calling the Wemby win against Denver at the end of the year. He said he can earn some stripes by beating Jokic and ruining their playoff seeding a couple months ago. Something to that effect
Too busy giving himself credit for other takes
The funniest ending, great trolling 😂
Can we talk about Malone making excuses about being tired? That has to be one of the weakest things I’ve heard from someone that has been popping their mouth off all season.
Literally the same take after we beat the Suns (they’ll be more time to talk Wolves later). Then later comes and it’s the Nuggets! 😂
People won’t admit it but the Lakers took a huge chunk out of that Denver’s armor even while being badly coached mismanaged and ill equipped
Love how he promised to talk about the Harrison butker stuff Thursday and then just didn't drop an episode
Honestly best sports show
Nick wright is enjoying this too much
Nick's taking about a delivery business is literally the USPS
Bro Nick was the one talking about Nikola being top 10 all-time. What is this guy talking about lol
Nick still can't see Jokic greatness.
The media votes Jokic the MPV. The media uses those MVP's they gave him to elevate Jokic's historic status. And somehow the media is able advance the narrative that the media underrates and disrespects Jokic.
Nikola Jokic got outplayed in the 4th quarter by Rudy Gobert
aye he was hot about them cheddar biscuits
Taking the under here
Brunson was good with the Mavs, especially in our last WCF run. The idea that he suddenly took off when he got away from Luka is ridiculous. He’s improved yes, but it’s mainly just due to his usage going up.
at least Jokic doesn't run from the team to the super team to have an extra ring
Robert Horry is the best non-all-star ever
MPJ + picks for Kawhi
Jokic and Giannis have both won their last title, next gen is coming.
lol They are the next gen.
@@NerfedGhost no, next Gen is led by Luka. SGA, Ant, Wemby are coming.
drink every time nick says he doesnt have time for this
It’s weird how Damonza has both improved so much since this show started in some areas, and not at all in others. Not hating, just interests me.
I think Nick might not like Denver very much 😅
The reason Brunson left is because the Mavs took him from granted and didn’t extend him trying to trade him that season. He felt disrespected and on top of that got an opportunity with his father in a big market. Nothing to do with Luka.
bronson 💀
@@boychris1947 LeBron Son lol
1:02:45 bro what Demonzay? I don’t even know wtf he said. lol 😂 work on your enunciation my man
I been saying this for years now.. he is so bad at this
@@jasondaley718 I still like him it’s good for the vibes he’s funny but sometimes it’s like
Bro cmon lol
Nick treats the nuggets the same way he treats the bills i don’t get it
i think shaq would agree w you nick
Jokic is Rodgers calling it now. Will finish with a bunch of mvps and only 1 ring. Is too arragont and has too many interests other than sports to be fully committed
🤡🤡🤡
Pacers gonna be a problem for the Celtics . Mark my words
Nick gonna put MPJ's family at 4 outta 5 bad boys! Have him do more small market Lana Rhodes interviews...
Nick's argument in theory about ranking Jokic makes sense, in theory, if you omit the right details and if we weren't able to watch the actual games. You're talking about a guy who literally has the highest PER of all time and because you think he deserves less recognition you're asking us to debate in good conscious if he's a better player than Kevin Durant and Dirk Nowitzki. Giannis at least I see the argument to be made, even though I think Jokic has the demonstrably more impactful offensive game, but this allergic reaction to seeing people praise what is clearly among the best offensive engines we've ever seen comes off as just entirely petty and unnecessary
Lebrun blew a 20 point lead over the nuggets talk about collapse
James blew several 2-1 leads in his playoffs careeer
James also got swept and gentlemen swept by this team that had no bench
There's enough bad takes on Luka, but the one that he held JB back is one of the most demonstrably incorrect takes.
Where is Daniel?
Not showing him because they lost but you'd definitely have him on if they won.
Annoying.
2:30 well that’s cause they stole it from Luka
Not sure why people say if you lose 2nd guy still should've won with top 1st guy... So many examples of that not being the case. KD losing Westbrook, Spurs losing Ginobili, etc. then other teams can beat you if they're healthy and you're not even with your best player still on the court
yea, that point made no sense. middleton remains underrated lol
He will make ut
What I want to know is how many defending champs ran into 56 win teams in the 2nd round? The nuggets just ran into a team that's as good as them and lost a game 7
How about the 2014 Spurs who ran into a 56-win Clippers team in the first round, a year after demolishing the Heat in the Finals?
We all know nicks mad that the nuggets swept and gentlemen swept James and the Lakers even with no bench this year
What has ant done to be considered the best player lol, this is crazy, they're pushing this dude on everyone, i wonder why
I really can't understand why he skips over the 2nd Giannis year post title when he lost in 5 games to the heat as the #1 seed then said it wasn't a failure ... That's where and when Giannis started getting killed
From memory he missed some games tho and was probably not 100% when he did play
Nick could say it's how he learned his lesson, but he was ready to anoint Giannis ahead of time and he was way ahead of himself on Luka. Yes, the Jokic praise was premature, but no more than he was on Giannis and Luka.
Damonzae STOP MUMBLING!!!! Enunciate dude! You barely get to talk...at least when you do can I please understand you!!
Mvps should be locked(no matter how good of a season you have) until you win chips.
1 mvp = you don't need a ring.
2 mvps = you need 1 ring.
3 mvps = you need at least 1 ring and multiple appearance. (I'd say 2 rings but if you're dominant and only have 1 ring I could see it.
Then u have no idea what the MVP award is for
mutombo was 35yrs old shaq was 29a😂😂😂 could he ever stop shaq nah i dnt think but he def wouldve been more effective
Could Shaq stop him?
he had just won dpoy that season, so the age difference isn't really relevant
@@TheRulersBack18yea it is who were his matchups that yr same as rudy now the only ppl he gotta worry about is embiid whos hurt and in abother conference and joker.... if rest of your matchups arent scorers it most def matters tf
@@TheRulersBack18then lets be honest the more older players play the less effective they are that was literally his last good season so what does that tell u he ave 6pts 6 reb the rest of his nba career sooo dnt act like age fatigue and father time doesnt play a part in the FINALS this wasnt part of the 82 game season or first round theb its vs a guy 7'1 300lbs thats athletic...
like i said he doesnt stop shaq but its def a lot more difficult
ps mfs win awards all the time abd dnt deserve it prime example 2013 lbj shoulda been dpoy but gasol got it heres why thats just ignorant GASOL DIDNT EVEN MAKE ALL DEF 1ST TEAM and bron did so huh a 2nd teamer made it over a 1st teamer he wasnt even voted best at his position lol soooo
dame has been snubbed for all star games derozen plenty others didnt make ab all star team too soooo relax on awards 😂
pg13 is free agent him to knicks 🤷🏾♂️ pg13 OG randle brunson donte the 2 bigs ans hart better off the bench all that energy sheesh
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Over, definitely over 🙂
nick we will never nor should we ever live in a world where 2021 chris paul wins league mvp why do you want this?
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
First 😊
There were 1000 comments before you during the stream my guy
This is Jokic’s 2011 LeBron moment. Although one went to the finals and one lost in the 2nd round, LeBron collapsed in a series that should’ve been his and the others were defending a title. Love LeBron and Jokic though, don’t get me wrong! Wolves in 6!
Shaq was pointing to his son nick wrong
Why would you bother watching this if you don’t like nick…..
@@jmilkie44 I love nick thats why im telling him the treut , im a fan of nick but i am not a sheep.
spurs never defended their title lmao but he is mumbling through that part in order to push stupid narative, league has never been stronger than today
Probably said this a couple of times, I like Nick and he’s intelligent but the “Classic 2” take is the biggest cop out of a an actual take. Not that hard to have a take that will “eventually” be accurate.
it's impossible for a take like "the nuggets won't be a dynasty" to be correct right away. almost every other pundit said they would be. that's the literal opposite of a cop out lmao
@@stmaster21 That’s exactly my point… most people consider a dynasty to be something like 3 championships in roughly 5-6 years with the same/similar roster. That’s happened a handful of times… Easy to bet against is my point. Here’s a good question, why did he shy away from the toughest take from the playoffs (T’Wolves vs. Nuggets)?
@@JacobParsons-vu2gp that's a bad point...not believing in the nuggets WAS the contrarian take. the "cop out" would've been going along with the consensus and saying they're unstoppable and on pace to becoming a dynasty. fairly straightforward concept imo
@@stmaster21 My gripe is in terms of his “Classic/category 2” take is he can’t give a tough take when it has to be an immediate take. He didn’t pick a winner in THIS series because it was a close series and he didn’t want to lose viewership so he stayed out of it (i.e. ratings)… He made a business decision to forego picking sides because he’s not pandering to popular opinion in a situation where it’s too risky (he gambles a lot, I’m sure he’s aware of risk vs. reward). Outside of that, a lot of pundits were against Mahomes (again, viewership) after their drought.
He picked the Mav’s over OKC because if Luka loses, it’s Luka’s injuries or OKC’s stats that won/lost the game. If they win he looks like a genius. Promise you this dude has the audience figured out.
@@JacobParsons-vu2gp sounds like no matter what he does, you'll find a way to be skeptical. imo it's a little strange to claim nick's jokic/nuggets takes are a result of him playing 3D chess. i think he earnestly believes jokic is in the giannis tier and not the top 10 all time tier. category 2 just means his prediction is long-term instead of a short-term take like picking a game/series
Does Damonza even watch sports? Half of what he says is just ridiculous
People in more outrage about butker than rice.
Jokic is better than Hakeem, and it isnt even that close.
Hakeem career stats: 20.5/12/1.5 - 51%
1 MVP, 2 Rings, 2x DPoY, Played multiple seasons with all stars and didnt win.
Joker career stats: 21/11/7 - 55.5%
3 MVPs, 1 ring, never played with an all-star, only player to win a ring without an all star teamate
Yet everyone who knows basketball would put Hakeem "the dream" Olajuwon over Jokic. Because he's better!
Oh by the way, you neglected to mention Hakeem Olajuwon's finals MVP and that season he took every award that was available.
WHAT!
@@vaughnmiller4371 I provided stats and numbers, you provided baseless assertions.
Nicee
@@Easystreet67 😂 I tell you what, get back with me when Jokic wins League MVP, DPOY and finals MVP in the same season like Hakeem "the dream" Olajuwon did. OK.
I'm going to go take it easy now and you can head on down the street. Peace. 🎤 DROP!💥
Crazy to say this but 2 dpoys really undersells Hakeems defense. There’s a reason they named the trophy after him
If you think Kyrie has not played well in the playoffs this year, you’re not a good analyst Nick.
Nick Wright is really quiet on a certain situation involving the Chiefs. I wonder why? 🤔 Nothing but 🦗’s.
Trying to make something out of more or less nothing. Sticks and stones buddy. Quit crying.
Nick's dedication to maintaining Lebron Narratives is admirable but misguided. Normal teams don't repeat.
The Nuggets are great, not historically great.
Jokic is the only star player to win a championship without an all star. Kareem had West, Magic, Worthy. Lebrons had everyone. Jordan had pippen. Jokic hasnt had anyone!! Murray hasnt played more than 65 games in a season in 5 years
jamal murray's 2023 postseason was better than kyrie irving's famous 2016 postseason lmaooooo
@@stmaster21 Ya, cuz he plays with the greatest passing big man ever
@@Easystreet67 and kyrie played with a top 3 passer ever...
next excuse?
@@stmaster21 Kyries been good without Lebron. Murrays would drop significantly without Jokic
@@Easystreet67 kyrie has won nothing in 10 years without lebron. in their 3 years together he made 3 finals and won a championship. jokic has never made it past the SECOND ROUND without jamal murray!
next excuse?
Nick is a guy who could not be more mad that LeBron got dominated by the Nuggets two years in a row and ruined LeBron's chances at a legitimate GOAT title.
Facts
Nick is lying about caring about Jokic skipping steps. Look where he had Luka on his top 50 list. He just doesn't want to admit he hates Jokic, for whatever reason. Also for the nfl fans, look at Nick's takes on Caleb Williams and Trevor Lawrence. Thats just more evidence hes lying about what upsets him about Jokic
Shush
Jokers never played with an all star teammate. Nick is a joke. He talks about keeping Jokic to the same standard as Lebron, yet Lebron always had stars around him.
Jokic scored 21 points in the second half, the rest of the Nuggets scored 11. Hows that his fault
if the game of basketball was 100% offense and 0% defense you'd be onto something!
Jordan is way better than Lebron!
Jokic and Giannis are not comparable. How stupid is that. And yes, Jokic is the best offensive player we've seen.
and one of the worst defensive players. watch him guard Naz on the driing layup in game 7. Even though he scored 34. his overall game 7 was mediocre. Four rebounds in the second half. 2 for 10 on 3 pointers.
Nick is such a bleeding heart liberal. It'll be hus downfall sadly.
lol
