It’s funny that Nick is here to communicate clutch sports narrative 😆 JJ is a LeBalco hire plain & simple.
Ty Lue overrated as a coach
Thats bs saying lebron doesn't have any say on the coach 😂😂 stop nick wright
LeBron gets Ham fired &recommends Redick. Buh yeah he's not involved.
I’m with ya Wildes.. someone tell my lady I’d like to be woo’d every now and again
Celtics win the chip, they'll still talk Lakers
This show should be called Cut you off first. It's a hard listen when everyone is fighting to cut off the next person while they're talking
When I buy my first NBA team, somebody please remind me to not hire NW as a team advisor.
Merlot enthusiasts lol.
Who cares about a get bounced first round trash laker team.
How can it be Tatum's playoffs when he hasn't even played well this postseason? And why does Broussard keep saying Tatum is the Celtics best player? Cuz this postseason he's been their 3rd best player &Jaylen Brown is All-NBA too; Tatum is better than Derek White regardless but Boston wins because they have the best five in the league. Tatum is doing nothing special not at all that's why it seems debatable in terms of who the Celtics best player is
Nicks LbJ bias is so ridic. Only part of the show I hate I how Nick has lol blinders on and will defend him till death lol
Nick is right about Jordan having the media in his back pocket!
Problem with the Lakers the HC isn't really the HC. He can't do what he wants he has to do what LeBaby wants. They get fired so fast they never get a chance to even get their feet wet. Had LeBaby had his way the guy in Miami would have been fired and probably wouldn't even be a coach today. The guy in Miami is one of the better HC too. Why would a guy want to coach the Lakers. If you win you had nothing to do with it. If you lose, it was your fault. It's a lose, lose for a HC. There's really no future there to grow as a coach.
Isnt nick wrights agent lebron james? Lol
So I can’t watch YouTube videos in the background while texting or doing anything else anymore…. Got it.
Nick is a MF LIE
I think the Lakers MUST hire a coach with some age discrepancy to LeBron. If it's JJ it will look that JJ is the coach of the team and that LeBron is the coach of JJ.
Looks like the lakers success as of late has just been luck rather than skill in the GM department. Lebron came gift wrapped cause he wanted to be in LA. That then attracted Anthony Davis who wanted to play with Lebron. Fast forward to now, a good coach for LA might be rajon rondo. I heard Paul Pierce say Rondo has a very high basketball IQ. Bring in playoff Rondo. In fact never mind. I want Pop to retire and bring in Rondo to coach the Spurs.
11:18 Nick exposing the worst kept secret it NBA media 🤣😂🤣😂
Exactly right Nick
They're saying in the sense of: Did you watch "Winning Time" Lakers documentary? In the sense of being Pat Riley..
"I gotta let the tiger out… I gotta GO FOR IT!"
Wildes is always good for a laugh.
Calling Sam Cassell sexy is like calling Precious skinny or joe Biden a perfect speaker. Welcome to America in 2024
Crazy how some coaching prospects need a ton of experience, while other coaching prospects need only 'potential'. Crazy man!!!
Let's be completely clear: reddick is only being considered because this is the way bron can actually be the coach without having to accept any blame for any coach-perceived failure.
Lebron went back to Miami because Kyrie signed a max extension and they had the number 1 pick to trade for kevin love in his prime, let's be real. Lebron was jumping ship to the better team, like he always does when the going gets tough.
Lebron absolutely is signaling to hire his boy reddick he's on his podcast all the time! Stop with the LeBron is staying out of it…
Brou is naive if he doesn’t think some are protecting mj and same for Bron lmao.
I really don't like Nick but I wouldn't change this trio for nothing, including Nick. They balance each other very well. Great show
Nash Or Ham?
I'm so glad that the league is pushing back on the predatory behavior of LeBron and the Lakers. LeBron is gonna retire with 4 and the Lakers are gonna go on a 10-20 year drought. It's beautiful for basketball
Nick is right, the old school NBA media is always set out to protect MJ.
Rob Pelinka wasnt even a good agent NOBODY liked him he was considered a snake he juss happened to land KOBE BEAN BRYANT so they had to work with him…he had NO FUTURE in nba basketball after kobe unfortunately passed away… Jeanie out of FEELINGS nd love for kobe SAVED pelinka nd gave him a job nd is ONLY keeping him there because of the blind loyalty for Kobe… our franchise is in
SHAMBLES smfh its sad to say but we will most likely need NEW OWNERSHIP if she does not get it together
JJ as a head coach intrigues my curiosity. What if he's another Steve Kerr?
Brussard afraid to comment negatively about Jordan. He is one of those Jordan protectors.
Speaking 24/7 about a team in Cancun is beyond all…
Timberwolves, Grizzlies, Kings, Mavericks & Spurs ‼️.
.
Teams Lebron Should goto
Not Wildes yelling at his camera directors LMAO
We living rent free in everyone's heads. No lakers, nothing to talk about. Lakers in 8!
Wow! Lack of criticism for a non coaching coach. I wonder why?
These guys are awesome. Forget getting paid i wish i had thisbtype of relationship with my coworkers
Pat RIley wasn't "Pat Riley" when he began his coaching career (As an co-assistant coach for the Lakers) before becoming the fail-safe/fall back/plan B choice as head coach (Look up the story, its definitely 1980s wildness). If JJ Redick has "cred", a good grasp of how to lead men, and a style that is unique to his own self, then he probably could be good and has a chance to be "Pat Riley".
Nick honestly thinks we believe Lebron has got nothing to do with this coaching hire 😂😂😂😂
Wow the Lebron payroll isn’t even that smart is it
One thousand percent Nick is one of the new age Lebron protectors😂
