Nick Wright lays out the facts around LeBron's incredible season | THE HERD 

Is this the best season of LeBron's NBA career?

it's so refreshing to see people like nick and Collin showing love for LeBrons greatness since it seems everybody else hates

Funny how you if you lay out facts about Lebron James you're automatically labeled a "bronsexual". What do you want him to do? Lie about Lebron's stats?

Forget the LeBron haters. I love this.

He spitting facts if yall dont agree you're hating

Guy gives facts and you still hate LeBron smh

this is too fact filled for most ppl. I'm not a LBJ or Cavs fan but I respect him and his game. He's the KING.

Well, I'm officially exhausted.

If LeBron James does not win a ring this year... Nick Wright is gonna cry in the car. (Chris Tucker voice)

Nick Wright ALWAYS ON THE MONEY LOVE THIS GUY

Nick Vs Skip set this up

This is literally two people who agree with each other to an extreme. So hard to watch

LeBron is the greatest player that ever played this game not MJ

Damn, people in the comments can't handle facts 😂😂😂

He may be a fanboy but he isnt lying

Colin is the Anti-Skip Bayless

Nick's simply stating FACTS

I'm not a Lebron fan, but even I have to give it up to Nick here. Lebron SHOULD be the MVP this year. Let's run down all the major ways we measure this kind of thing: 1) Take Lebron off the Cavs? They're a lottery team. This is not speculation--they were a lottery team before he returned to Cleveland. You can't count Love because HE CAME TO CLEVELAND TO PLAY WITH LEBRON. Kyrie wasn't enough to bring the Cavs to the playoffs. 2) Leadership? It's Lebron hands down. He's even picking guys to come play with him, and they are more than willing to come. 3) Wins? Neither Westbrook nor Harden are going to be the #1 seed in their conference. We can talk about how much the Cavs "sucked" lately, but the fact remains the Cavs will be in this year's Finals and those other 2 guys will be home watching on TV. 4) By the numbers? This is the only area where people might have a case. It's arguable that Westbrook and Harden are having better statistical years. But Lebron is obviously not trying to pad his numbers like Westbrook and Harden are. And he's not that far behind... 26 8 and 8? Pretty amazing. It's obvious Lebron is prioritizing winning a championship over padding his own stats. Since every coach and GM in the league have stated that is their goal too, I can only assume that a player with Lebron's priorities is more valuable to his franchise than, well, every other player in the league. So why are we putting 3 or 4 guys ahead of Lebron in this MVP discussion? I don't even like Lebron, and even I have to concede that of course Lebron is the MVP this season. And yes, averaging a triple double is amazing but is anyone really going to try to convince me Westbrook is more valuable to his team than Lebron is to his? Just the difference in +/- alone should inform us better. No, let's not be silly here.

When Lebron plays great & wins = the game means something, he's the MVP, he was actually trying, etc. When Lebron doesn't play great & loses = He doesn't actually care about the regular season, he never tries until the playoffs, he'll be Finals MVP anyway, etc

Get Nose Wright and Skip Clueless in a debate, would be hella funny!

That "total wins of opponents" argument is sooo flawed. The west is indeed tougher. You have to understand that western conference teams play each other wayy more times during the regular season then they play the east. So you can't draw a correlation from the win totoals. You think the raptors were better than the thunder last year because they won more games?!!.....Nick, please. Stop it.

People want LeBron to be better than Jordan but he will never be because Micheal Jordan is a Mt. Rushmore athlete. Lebron took himself out of GOAT conversation when he mentally broke down in back to back playoff years. Against the celtics then against mavericks in the finals. I mean all people have to know is facts. Like people like to say Jordan didn't do good in the playoffs his first 8 years. But I never hear people say the fact that LeBron didn't make the playoffs his first two years when Jordan did. You just have to know facts.

Nick Wright is the ultimate LeBron James fluffer.

that graphic showing the warriors and cavs paths to the finals was completely wrong

MVP does not equal best player, ffs... People like Nick, Colin and Shannon does not get that people aren't saying that Westbrook is better than LeBron, because he is not... But MVP = Most Valuable Player during the regular season. These media people think if they say one thing they arent allowed to change their mind? Accept the greatness of what Westbrook has been doing despite of LeBron being a better player.

lol lebron got killed for resting but because he was blowing out the celtics he shoulx have rested? lmao it magnifies the hypocrisy in people

They said Kawhi Leonard does not pass the ball when he's actually too unselfish, they ignore the fact that the team is old and hardly anyone can create their own shots besides LA. LeBron has Kyrie who is one of the most lethal one on one players in the league, that frees up LeBron to shoot.

Things LeBron fans say: "Who cares about the regular season? It's all about the playoffs." "Westbrook's stats are empty, wins are what matter." "LeBron is having a career year in rebounds and assists; he should be MVP. In fact, he should be MVP every year." "The Cavs regular season record doesn't matter since it's all about the playoffs." "The Warriors played easier competition in the playoffs the past 2 years going off regular season wins." "I don't care about what Harden or Westbrook do in meaningless regular season games." "How could you watch LeBron last night and not give him the MVP?" Now, I don't necessarily disagree with all of these, but it's literally impossible to logically agree with all of them.

LeBron has been the best player for 10+ years. He took Eric Snow, Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Sasha Pablovic and Zydrunas Ilgauskas to the finals! At the age 22!

I'm a big fan of lebron, but the facts that Nick wright dropped blew me away. Makes me realize how much more effective lebron james is

Funny how they are the ONLY ones that state facts without 90s nostalgia.

Kobe made all nba first team in his 17th season

There path is harder. We love to predict in sports. We all said that gsw were going to match clippers and that would be hard but the clippers lost to Houston. Then the clippers beat San Antonio who were a challenger for the gsw. Gsw can only play in front of them. I agree with these guys on that both teams have really had easy playoffs run But like I mentioned we love to predict and when you do it is harder for gsw then it is for cavs.

nick wright deserves a show luv his commentary

Why do these two never debate skip on the topic of LeBron? Would be amazing to see them destroy skip

Facts are facts. He has a very interesting take on things, I may not agree with how it is presented. It is good dialogue though.

Can anyone tell me why everyone ignores facts? Like rock solid facts?

He’s not at 20 seasons in a row with 25+ a game for the season

God damn if I met Nick Wright I would punch him the face. Seriously watch the game and hes the MVP? Watch Westbrook and Harden get 50 point triple double. Watch Curry win 13 straight without KD.

Mvp don't matter cos we all know lebron is better than westbrook and harden

My goodness Nick Wright has got FAXXXX

"Foreplay with no ending" lmaoo

Get you a man who loves you like nick and Colin loves lebron

summary: Nick: Lebron is a god. Colin: Right?

I don't question the GOATability of LeBron, and Nick Wright does a fine job of promoting that, but I think aside from overlooking the part that the West is indeed tougher, he missed the two most important things that make Kawhi more of an MVP candidate than LeBron this year: 61 wins (with 0 all-star teammates this year) vs. 51 (with 2 all-star teammates, in the East) and defense.

He compared Jordan's season to Lebrons, but forgets to mention that Jordan shot 54%, with 32.5 ppg, and 3 steals a game.

Its funny how Nick Wright always finds stats that fit his argument. Lebron has averaged 30 or more points per reason twice. Jordan's done it eight times. And his third season after breaking his ankle his second season he averaged 37.1. The only time Jordan averaged under 25 points per game was his second year when he played 18 games and the Wizards seasons when he was 40 years old. So what's his point? So what Lebron averaged 25 points per game in thirteen straight seasons. Does that earn him anymore rings? And for the record the guy who averaged over 25 points per game 12 times is Allen Iverson. What's he got for it? Tim Duncan's points per game career average is 19. But he has 5 rings. So what's Nicks point? That Lebron can score? Kobe could score and he has more rings than Lebron. Shaq could score and has more rings than Lebron. don't give me frivolous stats. If that's the case, here's another frivolous stat. Robert Horry is a seven time NBA champ!

Nick Wright is the GOAT! Nothing but facts!

coooooollin do you like my impression of you? - Nick

totally agree with this take.

James is the best player but he is not the MVP this year and I LOVED LEBRON. Sure Lebron has career high in some stats but so does Russ and Harden. Russ and Harden have turnovers though..... Yes and so does Lebron. He has a career high in turnovers with his best team on paper of his career with a top 10 player of the league on his side plus Kevin Love and a great bench. Like Broussard said if you missed games to be in shape for the playoffs because you think that the season don't mean anything, don't expect to win a REGULAR SEASON AWARD. Also, please stop with the minutes of James, he played less minutes overall than Russ and Harden. It's way easier to average these stats when you never play a back to back.

It doesn't matter if he's averaging his career stats. Giannis from Bucks is averaging his career stats and is a leader in every category on his team. Is he the mvp? I don;t care that it's your 13th or 5th year in the league. We are not talking about the legacy, it's all about this regular season. James plays crazy minutes against Orlando and Indiana, everyone is glorifying his effort and if he sits down games against actually strong, competitive teams he gets a pass because he doesn't care about the regular season? I like Colin and I appreciate James but no way Lebron is deserved to be an MVP. How can you signify his stats when he plays with Kyrie, Love or even Korver. You take JR Smith and put him on Thunder he's arguably the 2nd best player.

Nick is right. And everyone will realize it once again when we get to the postseason.

Did anybody notice that they have the seasons mixed up?

Love these old clips

85% of the time they're spot on about LeBron. That other 15% is the Stan talking. LeBron not the MVP this year.

This whole video is facts

I don't think it'll be a cake walk for the cav's to reach the finals like how they say it's going to be.. this year is going to be really interesting how it plays out

i love how they maniplulate stats and say over 25 ppg so the guy that had 24ppg 1 year dont qualify like omg dude lol

Nick the players the Warriors beat were Kevin Durant Russell Westbrook James harden Marc gasol Zach Randolph Anthony Davis Damian Lillard The Cavs beat Jeff Teague Reggie Jackson Demar derozan Isiah Thomas Andre Drummond just stop it

Lebron is having a fantastic year however harden and Russ are just having more success and are playing better

love both of these guys

I love when nick comes on the herd

Nick shows stats for lebron vs. kawhi and says hes better at everything. Yes better at every stat nick cherry picked. Kawhi has him in ft %/steals/blocks/less to/and 3 pt %/ and overall defense basically. All while playing 4 less minutes per game. Facts!

Great, it's the LeBron James fangirl club.... smdh

Nick Wright is glued to Lebron's lap lmao. It's wild.

Nick Wright Drops 🎤

when was the last time someone saw Nick's family? cause LeBron must be keeping them hostage

LBJ is truly amazing!!! 15 years in the league and he's still killin it!!!! I'm a fan for life!!! He's better than Jordan!!!!!

We should have 2 separate awards. The Best Player and the Most Valuable player. There is a big difference between the 2. Lebron James has the highest BPM (box plus minus) in NBA history. That is the real definition of an MVP.

You cussed the living days out of Curry. Now your loving him. He's a great player and you said it underrated. He's adjusting his game so many times this season

I thought playing the Warriors were a meaningful game ?🙄. Can you upload some NFL content lol geez

I'm convinced lebron must be paying these dudes smh true stans

Not to be nitpicky but the graphic at 5:30 is incorrect with the team placements by year. The 14-15 should be where the 15-16 teams are for the Cavs, and the same for the Warriors, aside from the Pelicans

Nick & Colin are smart guys

Nick Wright is dumb, Kawhi is a MUCH BETTER defender, which is why Kawhi is gonna finish higher in MVP

I can't stand Nick this gets unbearable after a while. Mind as well just this channel name to The Lebron Channel

Where is Nick Wright after the back to back losses to the Hawks

The fact that Kawhi is higher in the MVP voting than Lebron puzzles me. Lebron is better in literally every statistic, it's just the media taking things out of proportion.

When they showed kawhi and lebron stats, it doesn't show that Kawhi owned LeBron both times they have played each other in the reg season and conveniently misses out FT shooting, Kawhi near 90% and LeBron under 70%. And oh yeah Kawhi has been a much better defender this year and has more steals and less TO's. Also a far superior record with much less help

Nick Wright should never be aloud to talk basketball...

Pau Gasol had his best rebounding season with the 14-15 Bulls on his 14th year on the league. Check Mate

i disagree with one point, christmas 2016 was a meaningful game

LeBron had an awesome game but you can't use this as a reason to say that he is MVP. Nick Wright always wanted LeBron as MVP but toned it down when it was obvious that he sounded stupid. He must have gotten so wet after last night's game

Every single one of these "facts" are just begging for context. 13 straight seasons at 25+ppg Streaks mean very little. MJ only played 14.5 seasons, never more than 9 consecutive. Oh, and he averaged 30+ ppg in 9 seasons. Can LeBron say that? Career highs in 14th year Arbitrary focus on 14th year. High school draft inflates this number. Also, what point is he trying to make? That LeBron is at his peak at 32? So what? "Woefully underachieving to the 1 seed" The Cavs were #1, but finished #2. 25 - 8 - 8 on 55% shooting MJ scored 32.5ppg on 54% shooting, and shot way fewer shots in the paint, and he grabbed 3 steals a game. Advantage MJ. The East is as strong as The West Comparing win totals for opponents of 2 teams is the definition of cherry picking data. The Warriors have avoided difficult teams, but there ARE NO DIFFICULT TEAMS in the East. You have to go to nearly the 5 seed in the West to find a team with a worse record than the Cavs, and the Cavs are the overwhelming favorites in the East. Oh, and Western conference teams have to play a larger percentage of their games against Western conference teams. This is just crazy. Stop it. LeBron should finish ahead of Kawhi for MVP (because of stats) Per 100 Possessions, Kawhi beats LeBron in points, FG% at 5ft+, FT%, 3PT%, blocks, steals, and has fewer turnovers, and Kawhi's plus/minus is better than LeBrons. (all according to stats.nba.com). Nick's plus/minus math is, again, calculated based on what makes LeBron look the best. LeBron shooting 55% is unbelievable for a perimeter player He actually shoots a shockingly high percentage of his shots within 5ft of the hoop. Like, nearly half. Kawhi only shoots 25% of his shots within 5ft. LeBron can hardly be called a perimeter player. Kawhi's jump shot percentage is 44% compared to LeBron's 38%. LeBron does/doesn't play enough Total strawman. People are confused by LeBron sitting out games to "rest" while he plays big minutes in blowouts. This is a legitimate question, and it's dumb to say it's not.

Here's a repost of my comment from the last video. I'll leave it at that. Have a great day guys. Here's the problem. People are changing the award. The MVP actually goes to the most OUTSTANDING player in the REGULAR season. Colin, Shannon, Nick and other Bronsexuals are turning it into an actual most VALUABLE player award. If that was the case, LBJ would get it every year and MJ would have gotten it every year. LBJ hasnt been trying this regular season and has admitted that he's not playing as well. Therefore he shouldn't get the award. End of discussion.

we arent talking about steph because an MVP is great a whole season...

I'm a lebron fanatic #2 all time in my book and even I think Nick wright is out of his mind he has no objectivity when it comes to lebron hes like skip bayless with Jordan lebron is not the mvp hes not even top 3

Nick Wright is getting annoying now honestly

Nick Wright is the only reason I still watch this kind of shows. He's the only one who tells the truth about arguably the GOAT. And I say more, all this people saying he is not the MVP and he doesn't deserve the credit will miss LBJ so much when he retires. You people take him for granted, he's so much better at everything than the rest by a huge margin. He should've been MVP at least 6 times already including now. I already miss him, The King.

I love listening to these guys

Lebron with Wade and Bosh lost to the Mavs. I rest my case here.

when watching the game yesterday, even the Boston commentators were saying "how is he (LeBron) not MVP every year" but yeah I think we all saw the Finals LeBron last night.

There is a difference between "most valuable" and "best". Why do we keep conflating them?

am I the only one that noticed the graphic for their paths to the finals was backwards for both teams

Nick is always dropping strategy facts on here

Would love to see him and skip go at it lol

Nick Wright hold it with both hands.

In 1 week Nick Wright has said. The Pistons had the worst loss of the year, Warriors best win of the year, draymond played the best defensive game of anyone all year, and this was the cavs most meaningful game since the finals. Dude overreacts to everything.

This aged very very well. Lebron disrespect is unreal. Won’t be appreciated until he retires.
