I’m legitimately confused why Brou got SO hot during the Brunson segment 😂
yeah. lol. Brunson was actually better than many of the players he mentioned!
Man turnt up 😂😂
@@j5daniel182 Exactly lmao. He named Booker, Brown, Mitchell, Fox and was like they're clearly better than Brunson acting like he named LeBron in 2013, Jordan in '93 etc...
Because someone said Brunson could end up being the greatest Knick ever the other day. So from then anytime this topic comes up about Brunson being a superstar he gets really annoyed. I agree he's not a superstar yet.
Lol... Because it ain't Rick Brunson 😂
Nick says "all these coaches underperformed, but when the coach does win a championship it was despite the coach" 😂
And? He listed all the coaches. They did not win without LeBron. They have all been sub par.
@@gregrussell1787 Phil Jackson never won without kobe & Jordan, Kerr never won without Curry, Pop never won without Duncan. So if the coach loses they underperformed, but if they win it was despite the coach? That's an argument for getting rid of coaching all together

Brou discrediting the Knicks series win over the sixers saying they was injured. Bro the Knicks have been playing without their 2nd best player and All-Star since January. This is ridiculous
The Knicks are 10x better without Randall 😅 if he was healthy I would have liked the 76ers because at last Tobias would be able to stick with him and force him to shoot those crazy shots he takes. Jaylen wouldn't have been looking for Josh Hart as much when he got pressure it would have been Randall who is mehhh in the playoffs

Yeah everyone agrees that the Randall loss is addition by subtraction. We all know how bad he is in the playoffs. He makes the Knicks worse lol

I dare ALL sports media to go a week without mentioning LeBron. I'll take 3 days
I'll take 3 hrs
Why does it bother you that they talk about the greatest or second greatest player of all time daily?
On the internet LeBron James is the 8th most searched person, 4th most searched athlete, 2nd most searched black man and 1st most searched NBA player IN THE WORLD. LeBron was the most viewed NBA player this season at 2B views. His podcast reached 500k subs and 20 million views in less than 3 weeks. LeBron is still that guy.
Nike wouldn’t allow that.
@@kangaroocourt9507 because there are so many other athletes that are currently still in the running to win something this year that deserve to be spoken about, over someone that is done for the year. As someone looking in from overseas, i find it really odd how you Americans idolise and shove lebron and lakers media coverage down the throat of the public all year long. there's 30 teams in the league ffs
Lmaoo ya got brou going
No way Nick is trying to even slightly minimize Spoelstra’s record as a coach with the simple “10 seasons, no titles without bron” when the heat for a large part of that time didn't have the players/roster to even be able to compete for a ring, and overachieved with a largely viewed less talented roster in recent times. That's so silly
They are still trying to recover from LeBaby being there. You guy to team to get him. You trade young talent for old players. Not many coaches even make the play in with the trash team he had for 10 years.
He coaching in the East
There is not heat culture. Biggest lie ever told. There's d WADE Shaq and LeBron. Once they weren't there..the heat haven't done shi. You Miami fans are delusional as f.
This is the same guy who argues lebron better than jordan because lebron went to more finals but now this argument nick using rings when spo is doing miracle with his team that has no business going to finals
Where are the lies though?
Darvin Ham was terrible. If you watched the lakers with any sense of regularity, they almost never had any coaching edge against any team they played, and they won most of their games on the backs of AD and Lebron's great performances. When the best shot you can get in a tied elimination game with less than five minutes remaining is a BS rui midrange fadeaway, and when one of your best players in AD says it felt like they didn't know what they were doing, the coach is trash. He needed to be fired. He should have been fired.
Thankyou chris broussard for bringing up mark jackson
Nick Wright not holding Lebron accountable when his team fails. Shocker!
What should he be held accountable for?
So you admit the TEAM failed but you think LEBRON is the problem?
@@mikedison7081being pathetic
We’re you expecting mj to win it all when he was on the wizards?
@@BlackedOutDreams emotional
When you are the number #1 option and teams get to game plan for you in a playoff series and you still dropping 40, u a superstar!
Nah brah, he’s a star, if he take his team to the finals than he becomes a superstar even if he loses
Facts!!
He shoots like 42% from the field the guy is the definition of a volume scorer
Jalen brunson not better than Isaiah Thomas and his prime I'm sorry Isaiah Thomas was a bucket. Let me specify that offensively.
@@weinaracewarandslaverystar3408 So ANT is not a super star yet either?
Dog you can’t just toss around superstars like that. He is definitely a star though cmon nick
He's right on the verge..
Exactly, this league have alot of stars, but superstars, Jokic, Giannis, Luka, Embiid (questionable), old ones Curry, Lebron, KD ( i would say not superstar anymore), Soon to be Ant Man, MAYYYYBE SGA, stats are not everything, I would say AD was never superstar, Lillard BIG MAYBEE, i think alot of things have to line up to be a superstar, not only your stats and for sure not only 1 season. Plenty of MVPs i would say never were superstars.
@@Mrt-yg9mwI'd even add Prime russ and Harden to the old superstars list
No. He’s leading the New York, you get extra credit for making a flagship franchise marquee again. And he’s not been bad. All those other dudes, including Devin booker and Jalen brown have not been the leader or winner this guy is. If you trade Devin booker and Jalen Brunson straight up, that suns team is a fav
Aii but CB acting like he a bum. He’s better than every player except maybe book that he named it’s not a conversation he’s just being a hater
If anyone saw Ham draw a play with just motivational speech knows he aint coaching
Nick still Has the lakers in 9
The Lakers were lucky be the 7th. I don't think they get that many games out of LeBaby and AD again if history is right. Two ball dominant players. It's hard to build a team around that. Players like to actually touch the ball now and then. Hard to do that on the Lakers. Keep pushing all your chips in with LeBaby as your winning hand. It's not happening. What he still gives you in scoring he gives up on defense. His points are a wash.
@@larrylindgren9484 lakers had a nice run to end the season. They needed it because they were under 500 with just 15 games left I think
I gotta admit. I agree with Nick's arguments on Brunson. I understand Brou wanting to see it again, but at least he's built on what he did last year like Nick said. I guess he has to at least beat BOS.
Beating BOS isn't enough. I think winning FMVP would leave Brunson a questionable superstar. Brunson hasn't put up superstar numbers in this regular season, or in last year's playoffs. Becoming a superstar doesn't happen within one post-season, nearly ever.
At least gotta have a ring. Slso let's name some superstars curry kd Bron kawaii joker. Your telling me brunson should be in with those players
Did they forget that Randle is injured? We have a guy down as well and still over achieving! SHUT UP
Clutch sports Nick at it again
Nick wrong said Kenny Atkinson lmao I’m weak 😂😂😂
I love this show, but i despise the irrational hate these guys have for certain players. Also the hypocrisy, Ant is bonkers getting started, but is a superstar, Brunson is been doing it longer but naaaaahhhhh not a superstar. Chris just yells, notice when he is being downright goofy he gets louder and louder
I agree on Ant. The truth is neither one is a superstar yet. You can't just throw that word around lightly. I mean, Brunson has put in the effort and should be in the conversation for MVP this season, but he's definitely no superstar. As far as superstars go, that's Giannis, Luka, Jokic, Embiid...guys like LeBron, Curry, KD, and MAYBE Harden, Westbrook, Kawhi WERE superstars but really aren't anymore due to age and/or health.
@@jehushaphat I definitely agree, I think what I find bizarre and annoying is the hypocrisy and the confidence with which it is done.
Ordered the hit😂
“I covered Rick” 😭😭
I watched 4 coaches, who coach Bron lead teams get fire when they had winning win/lost record. Mike Brown was 305-187 with a ECF CHAMPIONSHIP, Tyrone Lue was 128-83 with 3 straight ECF championship. David Blatt was 83-40 with a EC Championship, and Frank Vogel was 127-98 with a one ECF CHAMPIONSHIP, and NBA Final Championship 🤷🏾♂️
Why cant they do it again? Without Lebron
@@eastgate6134 Mike Brown doing it with a young Sacramento team, David Blatt haven't had a opportunity to coach again since he got fired 8 years ago. Frank Vogel Finish 6th in the West with a Injured Suns team all year, and Tyrone Lue has finished top 4 in the West with a injury prone Clippers team every year he been there. YOU might want to ACTUALLY watch basketball and not just look at highlights and talk show talking about it 🤦🏾♂️ the REAL QUESTION is.... why hasn't LBron did ANYTHING in the West since they fire Frank Vogel? Soooo, why you saying why can't they do it again. Why can't Bron do it again? His lead teams have been TERRIBLE since he move to the Western Conference 🤔
Since He’s been in the Western conference. In 6 years he won a championship and made it to the WCF. Thats not really bad.
2 fired after LeBron left and 2 fired while he was still there.
Lue was fired after Bron left, not while Bron was still with Cavs.
Brou is right 95 percent of the time on this show
This is not one of those times
@@j.r.3945 Except that he is right in this one.
That 5% wrong might as well be 100% when picking the clippers or any KD team 😂
@@penkima4923 bro said Brunson isn’t better than young brown Mitchell etc yeah hes wrong
@@j.r.3945 Mitchell has put up superstar numbers a couple of times in the playoffs. Brown and Brunson haven't. But Brown has at least constantly made deep runs, even up to the finals, Brown playing close to Tatum's level. Brunson is better than Brown right now, but superstar status is evaluated over several seasons.
Shout out to Pat Riley for being the Man to say No to LBJ
You literally just heard him say the whole team wanted Pat and not Spo… including franchise player Dwayne Wade, who just won a chip with him a few years prior to that.
Lmao they just told you it was the whole team and you still blame lebron lmao mann this why lebron is the most hated on the planet
Not True AT ALL! Miami heat fan here, Pat Riley offered Lebron whatever he wanted but Lebron just took off to the Cavaliers. Riley was completely heart broken and still is to this day. Big reason was Bosh and Wade were in decline. Those are facts!
@@MelsDiner115no he didn’t bron was mad the money that was saved by taken pay cuts wasn’t used on players like they promised Mike miller not getting signed back was a big reason
@MelsDiner115 I'm more of a fan than you ever was and pat can cry all he wants lebron wanted a few perks he said no lebron left
Man, Nick goes full on pearl clutching when LeBum is criticized
Did you listen tho?
Did he lie?
Lol listen to how Brew tried to defend the Ham by not mentioning anything that's coaching. He mentioned team stats lol .
Dude he has won just one series for the past two years and now we will call him a superstar!!!!
2 u mouth breather
What has Mitchell won? I’ll wait
Way more than lechoke MJ the GOAT
It’s actually 2 because they won a series last year now this year while they on the way to ECF at least
@@R3Y1023Mitchell ain’t a Superstar either. Superstar is simple top 10 players. None of these EC bozos are any of those
Brou needs to stop saying getting rid of Darvin Ham is a bad idea. He was an awful coach. Awful lineups, poor adjustments, bad use of timeouts. Brou keeps asking who else is there... well even gambling on a new guy is better than keeping Ham. Why don't we talk about Giannis being a coach killer? He's had 4 coaches in 6 years. Why don't we talk about Tatum being a coach killer? 3 Coaches in 7 Years
Lol ppl do call Giannis a coach killer... And Darvin wasn't that bad. 😅 Especially dealing with Russell Westbrook and facing the Nuggets the last 2 seasons.
Yep, Darvin was terrible. Notice how nobody is using "but he's a great coach" as their reason for defending him. The coach killer nonsense is just Lebron hate...
Cause you say so he need to stop Who made you mayor
As a Lakers hater I'm actually glad they fired Ham, because there's not much available out there, and there's a good chance they'll be in a worse position next year.
@@naklovesjesus3204 he explained why Darvin was bad. And your response is "no he wasn't" 😂. How about actually defending your position with facts... did it not take him half the season to find his best lineup? Did he not start Cam Reddish and his 5 points a game for the first third of the season? What about starting Taurean Prince and his incredible 9 points a game for nearly 50 games? What about not using his timeouts effectively, what about the terrible rotations and adjustments during games? Why do you think all Lakers fans are rejoicing right now. Could it be the ppl who actually watch each Laker game know something you don't. Defend your position with facts bro 🤷🏿♂️
Why are we talking about LeHasBeen?
Phil Jackson wasn’t Phil Jackson before MJ.
Fr everyone uses that against Jordan
He still Was even after Jordan. Ask the lakers - How come Scott Brooks isn’t Phil Jackson with harden Durant and Westbrook ??? 😮😮😮
@@sparkybuchta8717Phil had Kobe and Shaq. Then Kobe and gasol.
meh...he was better than Doug collins whose game plan was for MJ to shoot all the time.
Neither was spo pre bron 🤣 what r yall taking about lmao
Lebum is a coach and teammate killer 😂
Prove it,
Vogel should still be coaching. He had their defense ready
Great coach, look at phoenix😬
Lol@@mikedison7081
Number 1 defense and they traded for Russ and a bunch of retirement players lmao. And they have the audacity to blame Vogel when it was Bron and AD who wanted Russ 😂😂
On lebron has people questioning the coaches rotations and timeouts lmao. No other player gets the coach excuse
do you guys ever post a video of the full show ?
Thank u to nick for making sense
Anyone who defends Darwin clearly didn't watch the games. He got HIMSELF fired.
If he was in Sacramento and carried a team essentially by himself (#2 option out majority of year) to a 2 seed then averages 35 and beats the EMBIID AND THE SIXERS. God forbid if ant Edwards did this you wouldn’t be able to get his meat out of your mouth. We’ll see what happens when Brunson continues to do this next year and the year after
This season was Brunson's best, and he didn't quite average superstar-worthy numbers in the regular season. If he's the best player in the finals, he'll have a case to be a superstar. But preferable he has to do that two years in a row to be acclamated.
@@penkima492329 & 6 is most definitely superstar numbers wtf
@@penkima4923but broussard has crowned ANT and Brunsons number were better? And won a series single handed without the help of two other all stars like KAT that’s my point.
@@penkima4923also Brunson was top 5 in ppg that’s pretty superstar to me
@@Genesiscoupejay Ant has put up far better numbers than Brunson in the playoffs. Ant isn't a superstar yet, either. In today's league, points don't matter that much. All the superstars are all-around players. Brunson isn't one.
Chris Bru was on fire in this segment.
I love when Nick starts his debate with; " Let's not worry about the facts!"😂
Tired of Lebum
nicks trying to make it a question of 'are these coaches better with lebron?' thats not the question. leborn is one of the best basketball players of all time and he gets a lot of other high level talent to play with him. of course they are going to have more success when lebron is playing with them. BUT the question is 'does lebron blame coaches and get them fired?' and the answer is obviously he does.
He just explained to you how that was not true😂
THANK YOU Mr. Broussard!!!! I’m from NY and it’s a bit much. Superstars are players, in my opinion, who have been elite for at least 5 years ..
don't ever stop guys, you could be the next PTI, it's nice to watch compitent guys who clearly have chemistry which provides levity and comedy at times.
Jalen Brunson this year is better than Booker, De'aron Fox, Jalen Brown, Donavan Mitchell, Butler, Kyrie. No question.
😂
I would take him over all of them but playoff butler is close.
@@Christopher._M He give you about the same as Butler.
Darwin Ham is too terrible as a coach for ANYONE to be defending him. MJ retired cuz Bulls wouldn't extend Phil and everyone said that made sense (and it did). Folks defending Ham when we've all seen him be TRASH with his hands in his pockets. Blame Lebron for something else, not Ham being garbage.
People who defend Ham couldn't even say one thing he did great specifically. He's not known for adjustments nor for his stupid 4 guard lineups. All this just stems from hating Lebron.
@@wowmawc Exactly! There's videos of other players being frustrated with his rotations. Dude finished multiple close games with timeouts leftover.
I don't get why LeBron can't be a player-coach like Bill Russell was.
Thank you Nick
Brou 100% on point with this segment
The lebron narrative as a coach killer is baffling. Throughout the season, even the announcers were calling out Ham’s coaching decisions every other game.
Brou's face at 0:23 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Now lebron never had a good coach.... Nick doing absolute gymnastics trying to defend him
Nick leaves so many details put while he tries to weave this narrative for LeBron.
Devin booker is currently in Cancun ready for a flight to Galveston wtf brou talking bout
Man.... Galveston catching strays 😂
Booker put up far better numbers in the previous playoffs, than Brunson is putting up now.
10:03 thank you Brou !
0:39 😂😂 I agree!!!
Kobe called people bums out right and told them they would be traded but Bron having angry expressions isn't a good look? LOL
They call it “Mamba Mentality”. Jordan punches a steven kerr and it’s “Killer Instinct”. Imagine if Bron punched Austin Reaves lol
The difference is what Lebron is doing is passive aggressive and it makes the situation worse. If you call a guy out straight up he can either respond by backing down or standing up and become a better player for it. What Bron is doing isn't helping anyone.
@@felipe5955 At least they are up front about who they are. Lebron wears a toupee of niceness.
Bro has been listening to Kendrick😂 he talked about greatest rappers of all time and said Lebron didnt "order the hit"
This post rings so true especially after the drive-by shooting at Drakes last night.
Brou's face at 1:04 haha
The Fat Joe analogy was so good, Brou
But people are calling Ant a superstar and his resume isn't as good as Jalen Brunsons.
Cause he’s doing it at a much younger age so we’re also sort of looking ahead at Ants future & potential
Brou isn't
@@monifamuyide2324 age has 0 to do with anything. They are saying ANT is a superstar NOW so why isn’t Brunson?
They’re also quick to call Ant a superstar but he’s 22 while Brunson is 27 so I think he gets a curve in people’s eyes
@@damiactivates Y'all keep saying "they" but the segment isn't about what everyone else is doing. It's about what Brou is doing. And Brou isn't calling Brunson OR Ant a "superstar"... nor should he.
Brou Right
Devin Booker is the ultimate empty calorie guy in the NBA.
Nick always making up excuses bro lebron is a coach killer period. Shut up
He just told you that’s factually incorrect but you’re still in Your feelings😂
Then what is Kobe? Or Giannis? Or KD? Or Embiid? I can keep going. People only care bout Darvin Ham cause of LeBron. Darvin Ham is a mediocre coach at best. Made a conference finals cause of LeBron and AD. He’ll get another job because of it and he won’t find much success. Then everybody will say he sucks.
A bit a revisionist history I remember an interview where Wade was saying you don’t want to play under Riley. Riley had reputation of running guys in the ground because of practice
The look on Broussards face is what happens in everyone's mind when Nick speaks.
Superstars are typically perennial MVP candidates
None of the people Bru named can currently do what Brunson is doing currently.
Literally bro. We’ve seen Kyrie in this situation and it didn’t look this good. Booker can’t do this we’ve seen him try. Mitchell can have a good regular season but has a spotty playoff track record when you don’t include the Covid years
Trae young absolutely could
Jaylen brown has never had the chance, and plays defense brunson can't 🤷🏾♂️
Jalen Brown can and plays defense
@@Rodricktyrone ABSOLUTELY COULD!
Nick saying Brunson is better than Brown is wild
what????? brown is not good
You thinking Brown is better than Brunson is INSANITY
Brown is trash
he is.. Brown isnt even the number 1 on his own team lol😊
@@ChrisBurns24 Even so, you can be a number 2 on a really good team and be better than a guy who is a 1 on another team
AD said more scathing things about Ham than LeBron ever did lol
Club Superstar is supposed to be fickle. You’re on the VIP list one year but next year the bouncer won’t even look at you.
The real Club Superstar doesn't have room for 12 players. That's some strange agenda BS from Nick. There's maybe 7 certified superstars in the league, and 2 questionable players waiting on the line. And it's not a fickle list. The evaluation cycle is a couple of times each year.
Devin booker is not better than Brunson and if he was on this Knicks team they don’t make the playoff imo
Like Brou said, Booker has put up better numbers than Brunson in both regular and post seasons, and for a much longer period of time. Superstars aren't made in just one season, nearly ever.
Nick Wright is everything that is wrong with sports.
💯
Why because he provided facts?
How. What he said was true. Nothing he said there wasn’t factual.
He is so bad, he almost makes me wish we had more Skip Bayless instead.
When u a fanboy u act like Nick wrong
The proof that they underachieved was that Rui didn’t start until February and they went like 16-9 with that starting lineup. Why did it take Darvin over 50 games to start the best lineup from last year?
Nick mortgaged his credibility for Rich Paul
What did he say that was a lie
@@abzda1700 He works for Rich Paul lol
If not for the "Play-in" Lebron would have not made the playoffs the last 3years. Stop it Nick
The lakers did not finish lower then 8th other then the season where they finished 13th
ABSOLUTELY FALSE LOL
Delete this before it’s too late
@@donovanyoung244 haha...
Even without the play-ins they'd qualify for the playoffs. Jesus christ the amount of stupidity people willingly go thru just to hate Lebron is unreal. lmao
Brou is 100 percent correct. Knicks would have been out of the first round in the west. Knicks might have been a play in team in the west. He beat the injured 76ers. And now don’t have to play giannis because he got hurt. So they get another sub par east team in the pacers. East is such a joke. I can name 10 teams in the west that would beat the knicks in a series
You realize the Knicks you’re talking about aren’t even at full strength? So injured sixers played an injured Knicks and the Knicks won
@@marcusjackson8084 Randle is a historically bad playoff player and bad defender. Good chance Knicks are better without him. While Knicks got bailed on foul call in game 2 like nba said after the game. Should have went 7
Knicks beat all the teams in the west already this year !
@@knickyak7268 Knicks were 15-15 vs west teams 😭 35-17 vs the east. A literal play in team in the west. Like 10th or 11th seed
15 and 15 against the west so how many teams you claim , they have no chance ? When they beat everyone already , I Amit they will be heavy underdogs but have been the whole year , and getting to championship game they will clearly have a chance !
Why does the media hate Brunson?
Another thing about Jalen that nick didn’t mention is that all of those guys brou mentioned as better than him have never been the best guy on a team to make the conference finals
Jalen brunson is definitely better than jaylen brown lmao what is brou smoking? Hes also better than Fox and is every bit as good as Kyrie and Booker are RIGHT NOW. Obviously, booker and kyrie have more polished careers but Brunson is just now getting into his prime! I think its a very real possibility Brunson continues his ascension, the gravity he has on offense with his off ball movement and on ball change of pace ability is only paralleled by steph really. If the knicks can get him a legit number two instead of randle then brunson absolutely could bring a title to NY
He’s not better than jaylen brown. GTFOH
Kyrie is the only one you can make an argument for. Definitely agree Brunson over Fox, Brown, and Booker. Dbook is overrated - not a superstar.
Brunson ain’t a superstar but he’s gotta win this series to have an argument
He won't have an argument winning a 6th seeded Eastern team. He has to win the chip to have an argument.
@@penkima4923 when was the last time the Knicks got that far?
@@damiactivates When was the last time the Pacers got that far? Haliburton and Brunson are star players, and there's many of them. There's only 7-9 superstars, or some say even less.
Thank you Nick!
17:15 Broussard's reaction is priceless.
Brou is a massive hater for no reason lol, as a neutral he acting like other teams don’t have weaknesses
😂He just admitted that there is nothing Brunson can do against the Pacers to change his mind. So now we have hope that he goes nuclear in the ECF (assuming they make it)
Brou isn’t wrong. How is Brunson a superstar when Trae wasn’t…
Nick needs to let others talk and stop interrupting
I defend Bron against Jordan guys.....but yes, he is a coach killer.
So why can’t these coaches win without him
@@abzda1700who did most of them even get after they got fired? Take a look at the teams before reading playoff records, context is needed
