  1. Maybe it's just me, but I get a very different feel from Diorra than the other kids he's had on here. She genuinely seems to not like being here/doing things with Nick, despite how much of a big deal her being able to do this is and how much it seems to mean to Nick.

  21. Diorra is and absolute natural. I was rolling at the Public Defender segment. She should be the prosecutor and not the judge because she picked all of your arguments apart. Absolute great pairing

  24. 😎😎😎😎 Nick, tell me please one thing, why didn't you also mention your Lebron James as someone, who has missed the playoffs alot in his whole Nba career?

    And if we are comparing Luka to Lebron: they both have the exact same number of the playoff appearances in their first five years of playing in the Nba: THREE TIMES. Lebron has also missed the playoffs FOUR times alltogether in his whole NBA career and he also almost missed the playoffs this year, eventhough he is playing with a solid good team and with a top 75 NBA player in Anthony Davies. Lebron has also managed to miss the playoffs for the first two years in the Nba, whereas Luka missed the playoffs only in his first year, and even that was only because Dallas had traded, at that time, their whole team away in the middle of the season (february) just to trade for an injured Porzingis (that was in Luka's first year in the month of february). And because Porzingis was still injured in that first Luka's year, the Mavericks couldn't count on him and therefore leaving poor Luka with some spare parts players for the last two months of his first year (after february trade deadline in Luka's rooky year).

    The biggest irony is that this year the Dallas Mavericks did the exact same thing as with the Porzingis trade in 2019, when in current season, they traded their whole main team core and their whole team defence just for getting Kyrie on the team and have therefore gutted Luka's whole team for one player. And that player is a player that they didn't need at all, and who is the exact same type of player as Luka (meaning they both need the ball in their hands to be successfull).

    And now the history obviously repeats itself again, when Luka will therefore, just because of a bad dumb miscalculated trade, be missing the playoffs for the second time in his career, and that is just because of the incompetence of Cuban (because Cuban once again has torn the team apart in it's entirety, and on top of everything else in the middle of the season), and certainly NOT because of Luka's hypothetical inability to drag a bad team to the playoffs. Afterall, Luka had a weak Dallas team sitting in the fourth place just a day before the Kyrie trade (that means just before they gave all the defence away for Kyrie, and therefore leaving them with an non-existant team defence). Dallas also made an awfull mistake and traded two solid players for only one player in Kyrie, and have therefore lost all the depth they had, which was already weak before the trade for Kyrie in february.

    So, in these both two cases that Luka didn't get to the playoffs in his Nba career (two times alltogether), it was absolutelly not Luka's fault, but it was all Cubans fault, who is making all the basketball team decisions himself for the past 20 years, eventhough he doesn't have a clue about basketball or about building a competent Championship team. It is not Luka's fault for not making the playoffs in his two separate years in his five year NBA career, so please stop putting the blame on Luka, and finally start pointing fingers at Cuban for ruining Dirks career first, and now for ruining Luka's career also.

    Jordan is almost the only one, who has never missed the playoffs (except for the final years in the Wizards), and yet he was also the one, who took a break from basketball for about two years in his prime.

    And again, if we are comparing Luka to Lebron: they both have the exact same number of the playoff appearances in their first five years of playing in the Nba: THREE TIMES. And by the way, Lebron is supposed to be at least the number two player when it comes to GOAT conversation. But there is obviously nothing wrong with Lebron missing those two playoffs in his first five years in the NBA.

    So, i really don't know what this negative fuss about Luka is all about, when Luka and Lebron both have the same number of playoff appearances in their first five years.

    Why such a different approach in evaluating the success of two individual players? I really don't know of any reason, why Luka is all of a sudden measured and evaluated by much higher basketball standars than all of the other all time great basketball players. Very strange situation, indeed.😎😎😎😎

  25. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Mavericks were the 4th seed before the Kyrie trade. How is this a dent in Luka's legacy? It obviously just shows, how terrible Mark Cuban has managed the team around Luka, especially when it was Mark Cuban, who has torn the Dallas team apart all of a sudden two months ago; and what is even worse is that this all happened in the middle of the season (february). What is even worse is that this same scenario has happened already two separate times in the last five years. So, it has not happened only one time, but actually two times already in the last five years (the Porzingis trade in february 2019 and the Kyrie trade in february 2023, when in both of these cases Dallas has given away half of their team roster and numerous picks for one All-star player in each of these two cases, and has therefore lost the entire depth of both of those rosters. And on top of everything else, it all happened in the middle of a season in february in both of these cases).

    The Dallas Mavericks franchise is the most incompetent franchise in the history of the Nba, much worse than the Cleveland franchise in the first seven years of Lebrons career.

    The Dallas franchise is literally selfimploding almost every single year. It is not Luka's fault at all for all of the Dallas failures, so please stop blaming Luka, and instead rather start blaming the delusional, incompetent and stupid Mark Cuban.

  27. Isn’t Nick Wright popular enough to get a serious co-host? This was awful. I’m sure there are a bunch of players who’s season is over or retired players who would love to co-host a podcast with him. This show would have been better if Nick didn’t have a co-host at all for this episode.

  32. Mad respect to Nick for bringing up the KD Warriors take. I remember a lot of Lebron fans were convinced the Cavs would still beat the Warriors in the finals with KD, but act like they never were. Credit to Nick for actually owning it, I figured he would’ve burned those tapes 😂😂

  37. ok, don't know if people have actually argued this like I'm gonna do, and if so, I'm sorry.

    I really enjoy Nick and his opinions in general, even when I disagree, but this whole thing with LeBron and the criticism that he gets for losing in the Finals is way more nuanced than Nick makes it seem. There are some sides to that, but what I believe the thing with not crediting LeBron for getting farther is just about the thought of 'you either win it or you don't', and by that lens Jordan (for example) just won more. And sure, getting as far as you possibly can in a vacuum is objectively better, but I think people unconsciously assume that if you and your team are good enough to make it to the Finals, and you're the best player in the league, you have a chance to win it all, and that is maybe true for at least two of the Finals LeBron lost (definitely one), so that leaves those losses with a feeling of failure, as in 'you could have won, you just didn't'. In a team sport like basketball, if your team loses 2, 3 rounds before the Finals, even with the best player and with him performing, the general feeling is 'yeah, that team around him, that coach, whatever, just weren't good enough either way'. Coming from that perspective, the actual thing about losing in the Finals, is that, with a team good enough (a team that was good enough to make it to the Finals), with you as the best player in the world, you had 11 chances to match Jordan 6 titles, and you're parked at 4. I do believe this conversation would change if LeBron ever got to 6, because then his other however many trips to the Finals would just become pluses that Jordan doesn't have. And I know, not every time the team that made the Finals is exactly the team that played there (as in 2015 with the injuries), but I'm just trying to make points to show that all of this conversation doesn't center only around giving Jordan more credit, and there are valid ways of looking at it that make getting to the Finals and not being able to seal the deal a worst case for your overall legacy than losing before then.
