It’s ironic that the basis of Nick’s criticism of the media being only valuing what players do in the postseason is the same as his criticism for Jokic’s MVP awards.
Nick Wright is the biggest hypocrite now it's the media's fault that they dont play hard somebody get him off the air it continues to shine the light on this generations soft coddled mentality Nick and his phony goat has to stand on that so once again he blame defects
When you tell players it's ok to team up with your superstar teammates to easily win rings, don't be surprised when NBA players don't want to compete against each other in an All Star game.
I personally can’t stand all of the hug fests that go on between players and teams. Instead of hugging your opponent why don’t you tell them yer gonna kick their ass and there’s nothing they gonna do about it. This era ain’t that great.
Hahahha this media is just saving Lebron. Before the scapegoats were dwade, bosh, Kyrie, klove, Westbrook and now AD. There's toxicity wherever lebron goes..
YAll are over thinking this, just start rewarding defense in the fourth quarter by taking points away for defensive stops. Because don’t forget, the refs are getting an easy paycheck on that day too. Time to start make them earn there paychecks
I really hated Nick's blame the media point today. As if player have no control in their own decisions ..their grown men , it's their league can they take a little accountability ?
I've tried to watch this with an open mind but this is one of the worst sports shows ever. Nick Wright is the epitome of the asshole that says stupid and crazy things. He knows nothing about basketball. If he actually has an official vote I've lost all respect for media voters. Yeah, let's play AD who is fragile as a glass vase with an overweight and always out of shape Luka who's all about his own numbers.
I'm a retired 66 year old who loves basketball and football. Many decades ago baseball was my favorite sports to watch with my parents, since their death my interest has severely diminished. THE SUPER BOWL GAME WAS GREAT…… THE ALL-STAR GAME WAS TRASH! Charles Barkley maybe right about the 3point shot. Frankly, I'm sick of it, too many poor 3point shooters. It's a poor percentage shot for 83.33% of the league.
That's not gonna happen Nick because it would minimize Stephen Curry. The Warriors fan-base would go ballistic and the ratings WILL drop tremendously and Steve Kerr would challenge that criteria. Maybe some NBA decision-makers can consider some the following………..Try going back to the TRADITIONAL positions such as center, 2 guards, 2 forwards, ADD an extra defensive coach to each side, and keep the same format for charities & draft, add 3 more players, longer quarters, make time for practices, a game plan, increase the winner with a 2.5:1 in pay ratio, and with extra incentives for most (steals, blocks, rebounds.) REQUIREMENTS to enter into ALL-STAR GAME a player must have played a maximum of (2÷3)×82= 55 – 10 = 45, or a player can only miss 7 to 10 games before ALL-STAR Break, regular technical fouls <=2, only 1 ejectionion (include taunting a player or referee)…. NO PLAYER w/flagrant 2 fouls that results in suspension + six-figure find will be permitted to play. Let's see if the experts can add, delete, or find the solution with some of my suggestions. Just a concerned fan…..
just make the all-star game west vs east again. the winning conference will have all team less 2million counted into luxury tax next season. this will make it ultra competitive.
Troy Aikman and Terry Bradshaw was never considered top all time great QBs besides winning 3 and 4 rings
Magic and bird based on there play were always considered great players based on individual play and achievement and what made people put Magic ahead of Bird was he won 2 more rings and beat him in the finals twice in the same era
Nick is making another strawman point. We always viewed players being great and praised them and THEN separated them by leading teams to chips look at Montana vs Bradshaw
What actually happened was the spurs lengthening Duncan and Manus career by using load management and then other NBA teams copying them
The team Lebron thing is CRAP. just stop playing the games. The players in all sports care much more about there money them that game. They will never play hard again in all star games.
As long as we keep paying to watch these shitty games, nothing is going to change. unfortunately it is the era of Lebron, jajaja. Don't touch me because I get injured and I'm worth millions, jejeje. and new fans accept these games.
Nick Wright is crazy as fuck. These guys in the NBA today are soft, which is why I don't watch it anymore. The All Star game today is a microcosm of what is wrong with the players today.
If i was in my prime and nba all star i would be jacked to play a competetive game against the best players in world on same court for a game. I think i would be bummed that no one takes it serious. These guys ball out in summer in some heated games im sure. Why not do it for the fans? I dont get it but i do get it. Nba stars are just so pampered and Silver dont give a shit. David Stern was great commish and i dont think he would put up with all star game way its played now.
The mental gymanstics Nick Wrong has to put himself through in order to uplift Lebron is honestly astonishing. It's actually pitiful. It's as if he's held hostage at gunpoin because I sincerely believe he doesn't believe a word that comes out of his mouth

The all star game was unwatchable
SMH. Lebron really full of it and still trying to fool people. He been taking so much games off with niggling injuries but now wanna play

Street Clothes will suit up for 17 games

broussard's source for that kyrie AD trade is some anonymous twitter account

Yo, nick has been prime Mike Tyson these last few segments. Good lord.
Didn't LeBron miss two games after he broke the scoring record

Amazing how no matter what goes wrong, is everyone else’s fault if they don’t make it but Lebron, however if they do he gets all the credit.

How does Nick turn this into a MJ slight? This dude is a straight up C L O W N
Allstar games where more competitive when players weren’t friends but advisaries! This new generations dna is so different
Damn nick was making some great points frfr😳

It’s funny y’all asking should lebron play the last 23 games, as if he’s not getting paid to play 😂. But y’all drag other guys who take days off.
Does he get paid for all 23 games. Helloooooooooo
Troy Aikman and Terry Bradshaw was never considered top all time great QBs besides winning 3 and 4 rings
Magic and bird based on there play were always considered great players based on individual play and achievement and what made people put Magic ahead of Bird was he won 2 more rings and beat him in the finals twice in the same era

The Brady Mahomes argument is not about the first 5 years
Everyone knows mahomes has had the better start but a start it not enough
Nick loves arguing against points that no one is making
The team Lebron thing is CRAP. just stop playing the games. The players in all sports care much more about there money them that game. They will never play hard again in all star games.
I think this generation is making so much money off the court that whatever incentives they get for playing All star wkend really don’t matter..
As long as we keep paying to watch these shitty games, nothing is going to change. unfortunately it is the era of Lebron, jajaja. Don't touch me because I get injured and I'm worth millions, jejeje. and new fans accept these games.
How did Nick Wright get this job….
Spoiled overpaid players, in real world they be fired for not doing their job.
29 is a man, if you don't have work ethic by then,,,,,

Lies he all about the stats!! 😅
It's ALWAYS been championship or bust and guys were diving on the floor in past era all star games lol….what??
They should give each team an extra defender who has to stay within the 3 point line
The mental gymanstics Nick Wrong has to put himself through in order to uplift Lebron is honestly astonishing. It's actually pitiful. It's as if he's held hostage at gunpoin because I sincerely believe he doesn't believe a word that comes out of his mouth
It was boring as hell.
Cut it you know you don't want that playoff losses record
