AD's disappearance concerning, LeBron's minutes to be limited, Jokić respect | FIRST THINGS FIRST

Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Kevin Wildes react to the Los Angeles Lakers opening night loss against the Denver Nuggets. Anthony Davis went 0-for-6 for 0 points in the second half and Darvin Ham said postgame that LeBron James will be on a 29-minute limit all season. The gang then discusses whether it is time for Nick to give Nikola Jokić some respect.

[@user-hc5sc6ks2r]

The lakers have a ton of issues against this team in particular. I actually think they’ll be fine against any other team. Darvin Ham doesn’t have the savviness to get them past the size of Denver. Once again, if AD doesn’t play the 4 against this team they don’t have a chance.

Nick apologizing and straight up admitting he was wrong about Jokic is why this show is different from most modern day sports talk shows. They take accountability for their takes without trying to gaslight, twist and change what they said, or move the goal posts like Skip Bayless with LeBron. They admit they were wrong and have great laughs about it. Respect to Nick Wright.

[@h98986]

Take accountability? Nick is only admitting to what is undeniable. That Jokic is an all-time great. He is still trying to equate Jokic and Giannis playoff resumes. Despite the fact that Jokic was without Murray and was playing alongside guys who were out of the NBA a year later. Meanwhile Giannis is hot potatoing the ball in the first round against the 8th seed despite being surrounded by All Stars and DPOY candidates.

[@PlanetOfTheApes999]

​@@h98986 To be fair, Giannis's resume is still slightly better than Jokic's, thanks to his Defensive Player of the Year award, even though Jokic is clearly the best player in the league these days. Wright lives in the past when evaluating Giannis, whose best years are probably behind him. This is annoying, but at least he respects Jokic as one of the two best players in the league at this point.

[@truthtella3371]

@@h98986jokic has a better team than giannis tf are u talkin bout

How is straight out lying to justify himself taking accountability? Jokic has only been eliminated in the first round once, and it was not questionable, both Murray and MPJ missed that series against the eventual NBA champions. His take on Jokic's first MVP made 0 sense even at the time of the discussion. Seeing the inevitable of him winning a championship makes it so much worst. If he really wanted to take accountability he would just say he's wrong with no qualifiers and move on.

Jokić isn’t fighting for the “best player in the NBA” designation. Jokić is looking for the next smartest pass - or, reluctantly, the smartest shot if he happens to have it - to help his team get the win that night. Jokić doesn’t care about the sports media conversations or the stat sheet. To me, that is exactly why he’s the best player in the league. Jokić gets the whole team involved. You can’t just beat Jokić; you have to beat the whole team. If you “stop” Jokić, it only pulls in the defense, which Jokić wants anyway so he can surgically pass to the open man in the best position to score. There are no good answers to Jokić.

[@Yon_Jon5715]

Exactly. He didn't average a triple-double by 0.1% assists, or whatever, because he couldn't be arsed to get back in games to pad his numbers... the opposite of Perkins' take. If basketball had a rule (like rugby), where teams get extra points/win % from a game, if a player scored 30, he would average 32. But it doesn't, so his team doesn't benefit... and he doesn't do it.

[@sdw2is]

Oh yes American analysis from analysts who never played classic team basketball at a high level. The American game is inferior to the international game which is a throwback to the classic game. Classic team basketball team will beat the NBA's Street ball (one-on-one basketball) every time. Look at how much the nuggets cut back door and how often they run that pick and roll and or give and go. The rotation from ball side to weak side on the perimeter happens every time it's open. But without Jokic they would revert to American style. The difference between American and international ball is so obvious to the rest of the world that many people in Europe think that they invented pick-and-roll, backdoor baseline cuts and give and go. You think I'm full of it then take a look at how well we've done in the world championships the last two times. It wouldn't shock me to see us get beat by Slovenia with 10 million people in the next Olympics.

The problem with nicks criticism of joker is that he was winning mvps and being treated like a legend without winning. But he failed to realize that every other legend goes through that. Unless youre magic or duncan, you dont win in your first seasons. Lebron was already a legend, won mvps but didnt win a chip until he was 28. Thats normal, and thats exactly what happened to joker. Once lebron and joker got good teams, they won. When jordan got a good team, he won. When giannis team switched bledsoe with holiday and added a few more pieces, he won.

[@Yon_Jon5715]

It didn't help Nick's case that he LITERALLY said that the Nuggets, in previous years, "weren't a healthy Jamal Murray & Michael Porter Jr. away from a championship". Plus, he finally admitted to the "non-all time great", "only Top-7 in the league" slander.

[@legend3522]

If Lakers sign Dwight Howard they will beat Denver he's the only one who can take the deep post from jokic Dwight forces jokic to play a finesse game instead of just pounding the inside and snatching rebounds

[@WindowLicker_-9]

So for Lebum to win the championship he needs an MVP teammate? And people still think he's the goat? Delusional

[@calikev7]

Nobody: Wildes: “Thank You”

[@tatinomichin]

Hey people, just so you know THERE ARE 29 more teams in the NBA. Why you continue talking about Lexcuse and the fakers? Bucks won a ring, but news were grandpa James wants to play after not even get into PO, Nuggets win a ring but yet you keep talking about how James needed more help after being SWEPT by the nuggets, Jokic MVP and FMVP and again you continue talking about geriatric James and the most overrated team ever. So when are you going to talk about the rest of the league? This is the NBA not just the fakers and the MOOAT (Most overrated of all time) everyone knows James is done, AD is a bust and the rest of the fakers are a circus just like the rest of the league... It is very correct to assume that you are getting paid to talk about LeFlop and his team. So no NBA?

[@Messigoat1033]

I’m surprised nobody is talking about the no foul calls on Lebron James when he driving the ball. It has been going on the last 3-4 years. He shot 0 FT first half even though he was driving the ball to the rim. Murry and Jokich were getting every call.

Great show guys !

[@camctrail]

LeBron and Steph get the worst whistles from the officials. Both of them are the league's leading superstars but they almost never get the foul calls they should

[@ctproductionscurtis]

it's an agenda to get the new gen players numbers higher

[@jackharrist1078]

Jokic completely destroyed any credibility Nick has when it comes to basketball takes. It’s impossible to take him seriously when he rates Luka as a top 20 player of the last 50 years and then claims his blatant disrespect of Jokic is just “holding him to the standard” that great players are evaluated by.

[@davidsychtysz126]

He said that before jokic won the title last year after everyone saying he should’ve 3 peated the mvp. All anyone said was that jokic had to prove it in the playoffs which he did, he’s gotten his credit

[@rlh12345]

All they said was he had to prove himself with a title? There are 100s of videos showing all the hate he got. It wasn’t just he needs to prove himself.

[@redclxxd5974]

Nick has been giving jokic his credit for a while now. You Denver fans are ridiculous

[@user-hc5sc6ks2r]

Who cares bro.

[@davidsychtysz126]

@@rlh12345 yeah he was hating on him until he proved that he could play with the same style and win in the playoffs lmao. Jokic is the best or 2nd best player in the league at worst, people need to stop acting like Denver are getting disrespected still

[@skipbayless4375]

Where are there season predictions?

[@joseberroa4935]

AD just became a regular NBA player.. we all need to accept this.

[@chaddlez1379]

Thanks Brou!!! Pointing out AD’s aggression. The refs swallowed their whistle when Jokic got his second foul because there’s an agenda. LeBron also got fouled on 2 of his layups and should’ve had more And1’s

[@dnice33]

Ur delusional

[@DarrelWashingtonJr9002]

It's easy saying that when Jokic and embiid is not playing with a ball dominant player in LeBron James....AD was never this type of player in New Orleans...

[@johnnybgoode8104]

he wasnt any type of player in NO. Street Clothes Davis 😊

[@the1337contrarian]

AD is just soft, you can't change that.

[@SilverRpr]

Lmao, AD was never this type of player in NO?!?! Lmao You clearly don’t watch (he’s always been injury prone) , in this game Lebron’s minutes were reduced and LBJ is always a pass first type player while AD was absent when LBJ wasn’t on the floor. Without AR, Gabe’s, LBJ, or Princes play, the game would have been a lot worse for his lack of aggressiveness. He has not been aggressive and still to this day doesn’t like playing center. If he actually did and focused on post up play he would not be such an up & down player like he is.

[@BrennanDipippo]

​​@@the1337contrarian Being Lebron's second star isn't for every player. Took a toll on Love and Bosh, and AD is in the middle of it

[@ngtowjavon2103]

​@@SilverRpr Can you name another "pass first" player that averages more Fga per game than kobe ?

Honestly this felt like a continuation of last series it felt like game 5 in best of 9 and the nuggets still sweep

[@officalrari5328]

the problem is there is no flow in the offense , barely any play calls , alot of iso and 2 man game .. ad also needs to be assertive and the defense needs to be assertive and aggressive. they let the nuggets be too comfortable
