The list makes sense and I agree he's being a bit harsh on Friga about everything being on his terms. First time they played was in Tampa against Wild Hunt and it was BO3 to 5 all 1's which doesn't benefit Friga at all and if I remember right they played to 5 because Nas had to leave early and that's why he didn't play in the 5s. Also what Nas is talking about when he talks about Dev is that Dev is putting himself in the conversation without backing it up. He likes to say he thinks he can beat Nas and a lot of the top guys but will come back and say "You should beat me, i'm a old man". He doesn't stand on what he says
Also i've been saying this but Friga's inactivity is counted against him. Kam talking about how he beat Friga 2 years ago, he has a L to Fomby from years ago that they've never run back. But they're counting these L's like they were playing for something when in reality they were just casual games and Friga literally had to talk Fomby into the game because he was whooping him so bad. I will say that I don't think Friga is better than Nas. Friga is too set in his ways where he isn't ready to do anything to win. I see it playing out like when he played MK and let himself get bullied out of the game instead of matching the energy. Friga should never be losing to guys like Qel, Moon and Nate because of his size advantage and yet he settles a bit to make it a fair game.
@@nickjones5495 No first time was against Wild Hunt in Tampa.. it was on Friga's channel doesn't mean it was his terms, they played in Nas' city Bo3 to 5. 2nd time it was 1 game was during Frigmas normal rules 1's and 2's to 15.
to be fair, Friga ran 1s in the trenches in June's League. where everyone hates "there's fouling and no space". he did lose to Koy but gained massive respect for showing up and putting on a great show!!
I'm so over the trenches talk. Just because you play in the trenches don't make you better. It's just a different environment, some people thrive in that environment and some people don't. We've seen people who play in trenches and thrive and then when they play in organized settings they don't perform that well. It goes both ways, I personally am not a fan of the trenches too many people on the court just getting in the way and sometimes it just turns into a hack fest. I'm cool with the heckling and the atmosphere tho.
i feel everything you said, a true 1v1 is just man to man war, no cramped space and let the best player win. When Nas says trenches he touching on hood environment aura which they love to crowd around the 3pt line like its a boxing ring.
Nas isn’t presenting it well, but I think he’s got a point. Being able to be dominant in different environments means your skill and game transcend environment which is difficult to do in any facet of life. Are you mentally strong enough to adjust your game and be uncomfortable which in itself is a skill that separates people There are NBA players that are absolute buckets in practice but can’t perform in an NBA game which is why they ride the bench. And less talented NBA players getting minutes cause they can perform in a game
Nobody said that tho which is the point of the ranking you right some ppl are able to some are not thus the part of the conversation yall just reaching
he not wrong.. A lot of TNC guys are only REALLY good on TNC... they go on other platforms and they take Ls... TNC does a great job protecting their guys images. That being said I think Friga would hold his own but still doesn't take away from the fact that he never goes outside of his own platform. Doesn't have to be the trenches but just any environment where they aren't in control of the setting... TNC's reputation of protecting their guys images has been working against them
Well this conversation is specifically about Friga. I believe that Friga is experienced enough to handle hostile environments and receiving boos and packed courts. I think people believe since Friga isn’t cut from that cloth, that it would be foreign to him. But he’s shown that he doesn’t get rattled in any circumstances so far. I do agree with your point about TNC as a whole, but Friga is in a league of his own compared to the rest of them besides Qel, Rob, and probably Moon.
I agree with everything Nas said, the trenches matter the most because the crowd is against you, the people who setup the show might have paid the refs to be against you, that’s a tough environment everybody ain’t built for that some people will crack. Playing in a controlled environment is way easier.
That shouldn't even be the case though or even considered frl Having a ref avaisnt you and TNC litrally travels to people cities to hoop is that not enough?
@@rata_laadat but it's Frigas terms against people who are not used to playing those 1v1s .. you're forgetting that point. If we're even referring to Friga
Bruh In the beginning all Friga was in the trenches it’s crazy how folks forgot he definitely can play in them environments but I know what nas mean to tho because most of them was like Friga set them up so the crowd isn’t really against you but Friga damn sure ain’t someone to shy away
Friga's ability to shoot the 3ball of the dribble or just straight pull is consistency WET💦 af. Im willing to say it may be the best in the YT space which is a huge factor in Ones
I can see it on a bad day bro honestly. Defensively, I feel he hasn’t really gone up as far as his effort, but if he turn that up I think he can definitely defeat any nigga with conviction.
Friga is definitely strong mentally. It may not really feel like it because he’s a real humble n cool dude, but when you pay attention you realize he be overcoming and thriving in alot of pressure situations.
Sponsored pod, big time ! I think Friga's ability to compete and create is on another level that maybe not everyone grasps - he's played all over the country/world in multiple settings, I get it's under his terms to some extent, but it's because he's earned that right tbh. He himself has helped create the crossover of basketball content and youtube competition over multiple years if that makes sense. All guys are top 5 tho fosho, keep posting these convos fellas !
When TNC played in Baltimore that was FREE SMOKES perimeter tht was literally no different than the street starz events.. I do get what nas saying though
Friga tnc ones have the biggest crowds when they go to other cities lol. And he has a dub on Nas so should be higher imo. He also owns his platform so he has to look at his business before anything else. He’s where guys want to be at in terms of status.
He wants to knock frigas losses when nas has a bigger loss to friga😂😂😂. Plus moon and friga are thr most active mugs in the space. Frigas also huge part of these platforms existing. He did that by traveling the country.😂😂 the hate is real.
Y'all are getting WAYYY too carried away with this trenches stuff 💀 Basketball is basketball at the end of the day and ranking players because they don't play in a certain environment is crazy, especially when Nas started off playing in those Friga and TNC and non "trench" environments 😭
It's the difference between playing in open gym with your friends vs playing in an actual game with hundreds to thousands of people watching and making noise... Definitely not a hooper
@@nickjones5495 wdym friends? it's so many different 1v1 formats where people hoop against strangers and it isn't in that "trench" environment 💀 the BIL kotc, TNC going to different cities, The whole FrigaFam vs WildHunt was strangers hoopin against each other. And I get that's it's a difference but Nas acting playing in the trenches should be the standard is crazy when it's multiple formats that are just as competitive
Friga at 4 is crazy. People gotta watch his videos after he graduated Mount Union. He been in the trenches, sometimes it just be him hooping by himself picking up randoms. Do some research
Why would Nas question Rob’s ability to perform in certain settings if he played college ball and is now playing overseas ? The pressure don’t get much bigger than that
The “have to play in different environments” argument kinda bs, those environments often encourage cheating and other bs to the point where players can barely move on the court
@@roshawnseeny2531 Friga has had a massive platform before TNC. He's played players all over the US before jojning the TNC so if there is a player you can't use that argument against, it's him
Idk why people acting like Friga haven’t been playing against people for years. I do think since he had his kids that he been picking and choosing who/where to play (rightfully so).
bro in all of friga ones hes played with a crowd thats damn near the trenches when he does park ones and on tnc he basically bringing the trenches to him he most defiantly top 2
We need to really define the “trenches” everyone has their own definition tbh it seems like it’s based on the crowd cause technically these city tour next chapter does are in the trenches
I disagree with Nas on Dev and B Ellis. B Ellis is NOT a tier 3 1v1 player. If B really goes at it and works towards that, he is a top tier 1v1 player. Almost the same with Dev, who is one of the pioneers of THIS! I also could make a strong case for Moon and ISO HOV.
Nas arguments bout Dev makes no sense at all lmao. How Dev's opinions and ranking bout players aint valid when he's cold at it maybe even more in the past but he still is and known for it, but B Ellis opinions are valid even tho he's bad at 1v1 (said by Nas himself). And this is nothing against B Ellis i just wanna understand why Nas thinks that way lol. How any of that makes sense? Just say u dont like him and that's it. That's what a hater sounds like to me
And Nas keeps saying he plays in other ppls enviroments and shi but when it comes to face Dev (on Dev's enviroment) somehow he "CANT" hoop there against him lol (Remember Dev called Nas out a lot of times). So u pick and choose depending your opponent or how that works? And im saying this cuz Nas keeps "bragging" bout hooping in other ppls enviroments and stuff
B Ellis isn’t in the argument for a being a top guy .. dev claims to be but isn’t active and talks shit like he is . He trolls nas so his argument is valid from his point of view .. from a fan it might not make sense .. nas argument valid but in a personal way ha
I agree with you on the fact nas sounds like a hater and his arguement is wishy washy. I also agree with nas take on dev playing his own guys and dev falling off. Im not a fan of dev so it might be biased. I have dev top 10 but i really dislike the guys arrogance.
Skoob, Moon, and Nes all have some noice resumes. Think they hold up pretty well against friga. Someone pls tell me who else has good resumes. Robs is decent, but still has work to do, imo.
Fam, I dont see any Friga hate. Cool tf down. Top 4, still a super high spot, and respectful arguments. I have him 3rd - till I see him win with Nesco and because basically in every city run there is a head taller, athletic kd-like shooter that Friga would have a problem with. Friga Fam out.
I want a top 10 episode, or even a top 15 lol I'm curious to see who would get left out🤣.... Dev do talk like he's right up there with the top 1v1 hoopers and tbh i don't understand how Milly doesn't see it, it's almost like he doesn't want to get on Dev's bad side🤷♂
How’s MOON not in your top five Nas ? He’s beaten everybody you’ve mentioned but prob Nesco🤔& they only played ONE time! MOON should be in the everybody top 5!!!! Yall 🥷🏾 trippin fr
Nas is starting to lose basketball cred in how hes talking. Please understand what you're talking about in regards to the trentches, comp and being active. If we going off straight talent BJ and Bruce have a real argument to be top 5
It doesn’t matter where you play the only thing is do you win. Dev beat Friga who’s in your top 5. Friga lost to quite a few people that you would probably feel that he shouldn’t have lost to that wouldn’t beat Dev. Who made the criteria that you can’t critique someone’s game whether you’re still playing or not. He’d cook a lot of y’all even now.
Friga tnc ballislife is top of the food chain it’s like the nba lebron doesn’t have to go to play in Greece to know he’s the best bc he is in the best league. Nitty doesn’t have to bc we’ve seen him do things before he went to other setting.
@dariusjohnson7171 TNC imo is best trenches I guess because they travel to other people's cities and Hoop agaisnt the crowd like if that's not enough then idk what trenches is frl
Im not saying Nas hating but with that friga thing ehhhh🤣 Like I get whay he saying but at the end of the day TNC Goal imo is bigger than the Whole trenches narrative frl having people on the court woth no space is a safety hazard in all reality frl
Someone said in the comments friga needs to play with a crowd against Jim and a ref that might swing the game like that's not The trenches that's just cheating TF 🤣
He wants to knock frigas losses when nas has a bigger loss to friga😂😂😂. Plus moon and friga are thr most active mugs in the space. Frigas also huge part of these platforms existing. He did that by traveling the country.😂😂 the hate is real.
He is not going to put friga top 3 until he plays him! Friga is deff top 1 or 2 with the aspect of him playing in other states taking the TNC to other areas and trying to get others involved and building literally a basketball platform for those who didn't get the dreams of playing in college and higher levels!
He contradicted himself. One of his stipulations for being top 5 ,is activity. Rob wouldn’t necessarily fit because there are lots of other ballers that are more active and even dominating. Nas has a slight bias for sure and he really doesn’t have a clear rhyme or reason. Just a little too subjective for me.
Nas is ignoring history a bit when he talks about his Wild Hunt/Next Chapter genesis. Didn't Friga start the park takeover trend (2020)? Then came Ballislife East Coast Squad which included Friga and Nick Briz in the beginning.
Uncle scoob not top 3 maybe 5 💯 There’s no way Scoob should be over Rob when Rob skunked him… And Qel is 2&0 vs him 😑 I’ll put Scoob 5th at the highest the other 4 is correct but I’ll have a different order
And Nas talks about environment and trenches but if u think about it Nesco just started playing on different platforms and his best dubs in on Junes League which essentially the same shit for him as what Next Chapter is for Friga 💯 and with Nesco dubs being on Junes League a couple of those dubs was weird…. bias calls and no calls in his favor 🤷🏽
top 5 is simple, nas ness skoob frig n rob. right outside gotta be moon kam tae qel n scar personally. if you want you can argue bruce pshon mike or hezi for top 10. if you add dev, he’s top 7
Nas Knocking Friga For The Moon Lost Like They Didnt Play Multiple Times In A Small Frame. TNC Minneapolis Crowd Was A Bigger Crowd Than Nas Has Played Under Other Than The Big3 & Friga Played A 1v1 In That Setting. Then Having Scoob Above Rob After Getting Blitzed By Him Is Crazy Work
1) your first point has nothing to do with anything 2)Nas has played in bigger crowds 3) sure TNC travels to places (like every other RU-vid hooper) but they bring the same bias refs that work for them lol 4) they're playing on Frigas terms against players who are skilled but almost never have 1v1 experience 5) sure Minneapolis & Tulsa had routy crowds who rushed the court at times but it means half as much when Friga can single handedly get them to settle down & move back to their seats.. he's definitely always in a place of power or control which would make anyone more comfortable It's the same thing people criticize Dev for
@@nickjones5495 How Doesn’t My First Point Have Nothing To Do With Anything? You Put Moon Against Anybody In The Top 5 & They Play 3 Games Back To Back To 30 He Wins At Least One Game Against Everybody. Like Guy Did You Ready Anything I Typed At All?? You Couldn’t Have
Nesco tough as hell but # 2 ? Nesco lost to some random ass dude name TD in bil east coast squad tourney😂😂 And rob beat scoob, nesco beat scoob , qel beat scoob. How is he over friga ? The losses that friga takes to his friends and so obviously differently played than the ones against new people or ones in real competitive settings. Just like how nas against friga the second time nas didn't go near full effort compared to the first. Gotta take a massive grain of salt with those games.
The trenches talk is so lame. When folks like Nas start talking about the crowd being on the court and the refs being against you, why do you think it is that people like Friga don’t wanna play there? It’s not even hoops at that point, it’s hacking. That’s why I don’t watch those 1’s
@@Patrick-kw5zv wdym nas has done way more on yt than just the big 3. And the trenches argument is valid because it's way different when the crowd is against you unlike tnc where they protect their own players
I'm keep it a buck I feel like this whole " Trenches " Narrative is getting tired already and seen as an excuse . Friga has played in hostile environments before and won and Yea Moon beat friga But Friga also Beat moon pretty bad this whole trenches thing needs to end
My argument with this conversation is that Nas cares so much about setting. Who cares about setting. Being active means playing regardless of the setting. Especially trying to be in a setting where it basis towards the opponent is so dumb. You play to play and learn from different experiences with the person you’re playing, not the environment. The setting DOES NOT MATTER
Nah it does matter sometimes. That’s a thing even in the league. Dev only want to challenge people in his gym with his rules and his custom made basketball bro. Nas done went to in the lab. You can’t be saying you the best and only wanting to play in your gym when all these guys done went to his gym and travel anywhere to hoop. Like people was come at nesco at first because they thought he was only good on his home court and then he started going to different places and beating dudes.
i get what Nas saying bout Friga he want Friga in an uncomfortable game which i think Friga will still go crazy he do b being soft still sometimes i feel like he let some 1v1s go intentionally
