Lakers, Mavs, Warriors scarier than their record & Celtics 'now or never' | NBA | FIRST THINGS FIRST 

Check out the What’s Wright? with Nick Wright podcast: sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT

Wilde's never disappoints 😂😂😂

Citing the Heat’s 44 wins in 2020 is actually misleading. It wasn’t a full season, they were 44-29. 15 games over .500 is a good team

“Little play on words” 😂😂

Cackling over Wildes’ intro

Wildes' transformation from hated new guy to national treasure is nothing short of amazing and isn't talked about enough lol

12:15 I’ve never seen Nick so silent 😂

Nick was dead silent when Chris pulled LeBron's numbers in the 2 finals 🤣🤣🤣

Nick Wright: SGA is really an American player. Canada: EXCUSE ME??!!

2:05 theres always one guy on these shows who says "we need to discuss NOLA and the Kings more!", JJ redick is the same on ESPN. But then they literally never do discuss them 😂 im sure Kings fans are feeling this as much as me and my fellow Pels fans lol

I love Nicks football takes, when it comes to basketball he is gripping onto the past with these tiers

If the finals were to be Milwaukee vs Denver this year.. I think after either jokic or Gianni’s wins that finals MVP (especially if it’s Gianni’s).. they leapfrog KD all time wise. 10-13 all time would be: 10. Steph 11. Giannis(or jokic) 12. KD

3:14 But what about the recent history of playoff Kawhi Leonard? One of the best playoff performers in the modern era and a 2-time champion?

Best sports debates on this show always get a laugh

No Nick Shai is NOT one of yours

Nick is onto something with the Wizards/Piston best of 7. Tanking would be scary

Heat: win 3 of 4 games on the road (one lost was on a back to back) while extremely injured Also Heat: Cold as ice 🧊

Pels should be 📈📈

Nick gone have to see us in Detroit 💪🏿💯 Disrespectfully 😂

Nick is praying his Lakers won't be in the play ins especially the 9th and 10th seeds

Nick's right, there are ALOT of hipster NBA fans and they tend to never read between the lines.

This is my favorite sports show right now. This 3 headed lineup is perfect. They have great chemistry and very entertaining sports show

Heat are cold as ice. You get that?😅😅

NEVER let this trio split!!

Nick’s laugh was so pure off that gamblers and diamond rings comment

Guys get Greg for basketball season too. Love Greg and coach

It's segments like this that make this the best sports talk show on TV.

Best tiers so far, wow 10/10

I understand that Miami has been a bit of a road block for the Celtics in recent years, but I just don't see it happening this year. Miami will absolutely be competitive in a 7 game series, but the Celtics with the additions of Porzingis and Holiday are a much better team. Derrick White is playing on another level this season too. Brown has been great on both offense and defense. I feel like Tatum is kind of coasting at this point, but he has also been playing great on both sides of the ball. It's great that he doesn't want to be a selfish player, but he needs to know that as the best player on the team, he's allowed to take over a game. Not to mention the Celtics bench is much better than anyone though it would be coming into this season.

Bragging about being in the play in is a new kind of spin from the LA media. There is a reason in the history of the league, poorly seeded teams perform poorly. Good hype never bothers with the history though.

Crazy how media focus on record out of context. These teams like 2 or 3 wins from the fourth seed...

pelicans disrespect getting nuts

Celitcs want this so bad, burnout inevitable

I'm so glad you guys remembered basketball exists

Google said Steph was 26

Man that take by Brou was 10/10 accurate

@3:10 Brous expression was what can i say?

A Best of 7 for the #1 pick would be a must watch, and a great way for dudes on those bad teams to get a chance in the spotlight. Maybe 7 games arent necessary, but a best of 3 series would be good.

idk if the graphics team came up with now or never but 2k14 player’s understand why that was more than perfect

Actually not a bad tiers. The only one I had a problem with was the heat but nick’s title makes sense. Some teams you just can’t stop believing in.

WHOAH!! "Hes one of ours" nick is this the old days buddy. Lol

the lakers found something in that 4th quarter 😂

PRODUCERS NOTE-The music makes this unwatchable

Wildes has to be writing these comments

Duncan won young also but he was playing with another hall of famer in David Robinson

12:40 Brou, the average points per game of LBJ's years were 14 lower than Tatum's, just look at that FG%, that's the telling factor. What even was that graphic supposed to be? xD

i loved this take compared to title pie..

MIN not skipping steps, they have a vet pg in Conley, a Superstar in Ant, a top pick in KAT, a multiple DPOY in Rudy plus other proven guys to fill out the roster. OKC is skipping steps, youngest team, a Superstar in SGA, their 2nd & 3rd best players are in year 2 with one not playing in year 1. With money to spend in free agency, 2 potential lottery picks and a trade asset in Giddey. Presti about to turn up this offseason

LOL what a shock, a reporter led debate show that thinks "the Warriors and Lakers, they are important and the best and scary!"

Nick’s idea @1:00 is actually brilliant. It’ll never happen, but if the NBA wants to end tanking, that’s pretty much guaranteed to do it.

What is the music? It sounds so familiar but I thought it was a football sound

any time someone says LeBron is the GOAT over Jordan, just show Brou's graphic with LeBron's stats from his first 2 Finals lol

Shai is Canadian.

Everything was so respectable then Nick had to let the hater leak out a bit in the last 20 seconds.

Texans need to trade up to #3. Do whatever it takes to get Marvin Harrison Jr. Nobody mentions that and I think that it's crazy imo. Yes Stroud has good targets around him. But can you imagine him with Marvin Harrison?

No Canadian wants to be called an American!

Bru is crazy comparing lbj and Tatum. Tatum's team is a complete team. He can play his position.

Sixers are done with embiid returning

Ah, one of those rare instances when Broussard is completely wrong. It happens.

Feel like heats just play a float in regular season, good enough to make playoffs, den when they in playoffs they turn level of play up and everyone play hard, I respect they approach

If Wilde’s ever gets let go we riot.

Brou will never understand how the tiers work 😂

Nick you gotta talk to them they can’t give away the tiers in the name before we watch it , takes away the magic the committee puts into the tiers 😢

You just can't have Boston over Denver. Denver is 2-0 vs them

We're happy to lease Shai to the US for NBA season purposes 🇨🇦

Nick tripping on the pistons they got some good young pieces

I wish you guys would talk more basketball

Tatum and Celtics get too much hate they just def can win a chip

God I love Wildes

That’s a good idea nick like if it gets to a game seven in the finals they should hang the trophy a live the court in a clear box

Why is this show so good?

They are so bad at basketball segments. You can't talk about NBA in same way as you talk about NFL.

Nick Wright first put Boston on top of his list, then he saw Tatum got better numbers vs Lebron on his first Finals trip vs LEbrons 2 Finals trips, then he immediately started hating on Tatum to end the segment LMAO Dude is literally a Lebron meat rider

Hating on the Jordan phone call🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The magic over the pelicans is the dumbest thing ive ever seen

Is Phoenix still considered scary? I can't buy into that. Their depth is thin and their cannons are made of glass.

I'll keep saying it, you cannot trade jaylen brown, it is still too soon and alot of the all time greats got it done at 27,28 if you anit getting a better player back that maybe wants to leave his situation to try and win with JT do not do it. It's all good saying trade brown, but for who? Realistically.

We gotta stop crowning Tatum. How Many games does he have come up small in

Wow and I thought it was just me. I think it will be extremly difficult to win a title with Tatum as your best player.

How come the kings and pelicans are in “deserve more respect” but you still aren’t giving them any respect

Money stat by Brou

Tatum is a really good player... But the league has some all time greats in it right now, and he isnt even close ro one of those.

Having the lakers and warriors on the “scarier than their record “ is a complete joke

NOW OR NEVER!!!!!!! At 26 😐😂😂😂😂😂

12:35 Let's not start acting like 20 ppg in 2007 is the same as 20 ppg in 2020. League avg ppg is almost double. Not saying LBJ was great in his 1st 2 finals. Just saying 20 now and 20 then is waaaay different. 40 people in the league avg 20 ppg now. Back then it was closer to 5.

Lebron said Kobe won his 1st with out shaq at 27

Ppl bash Harden for losing to the Warriors in playoffs but Praise LeBron for losing to those same teams

James Harden Russell Westbrook (worst one on the list) Total: 2 LeBron’s competition were a bunch of rats. Worse than plumbers. And he helped those rats win rings. LeBron’s teams have defeated the least amount of 50 to 60-win teams among the three. He did beat a 70-win team that MJ and Kobe didn’t. Plumbers are superior to the social media losers and lame podcasters that LeBron has beaten in his entire career. Can’t wait when the LeSteroid scandal finally breaks the news after he retires. It will happen….

wade won FMVP on his rookie deal.

When Chris pulled LeBron's numbers in the first two finals, Nick remained silent.

Lakers have 2 Top Ten players. Nick Wright is not slick

Important to note that Lebron started when he was 18.

What happened to Nick’s hand?!

Lakers are stacked

Does Nick have anything positive to say about anyone other than Mahomes?

Nick looks like the first guy to die in a biker movie. 😂

this might be the first time I agree with Nicks tiers😵‍💫 but i also doubt the celtics lol

4:05 not necessary . mavs may knock down pelicans it will make 3 out of those 4 teams in play offs mavs are 1 win behind pelicans , knocking down clippers as well isnt impossible ether timberwolves are probably out of reach though

I hope haliburton sees this

Nick only criticizes Tatumn
