FOX Sports a

[@jordzbuenafe6239]

FOX Sports Nick Wright, I challenge you to a one on one debate of who is the GOAT. Kidd, Stockton, Magic, Larry Bird, Oscar is a better passer than LeBron.

[@draday45]

FOX Sports i dont know who nick Wright is did he ever play basketball because evertime i see him talk it be some bs play the sport frist before you try to give opinion

[@georgiosathanasiou3985]

Out of all the guys on FOX(Colin, Nick Wright, Shanon SKiiiiip) and ESPN (Stephen A and Max) i think Chris Broussard is the most logical, calm and neutral analyst. They should give him a show most def.

[@M67A67R67O]

Hey George, did you know that Pantelis Pantelidis was Albanian?

[@georgiosathanasiou3985]

What does that have to do with anything?

[@blaneries8925]

George Athanasiou skip bayless is the most logical*

[@DTBass123]

George Athanasiou agreed

[@heavyrollers7stsp113]

George Athanasiou Facts he’s by far the best

[@willcarella]

These are my two favorite guys

[@ericgarcia3640]

Chris was dishing out L's left and Wright

[@kingtrawal]

Savage. True.

[@Anonamoosemouse]

true that

[@strawhats100]

eric garcia MANY Ws for that comment my guy.

[@jacksonmax1725]

eric garcia Should be top comment

[@DyingToLive12]

eric garcia sorry i gotta be that guy.... Its "Right" not "Wright"

[@SuperJohn12354]

Chris Broussards podcast should be called "The Voice of Reason" because he's the only basketball analyst thats objective

[@wynstonwilliams8208]

Nick and Chris need a show together ASAP

[@NoGutsNoGlory-s7x]

First things first is great😂😂

[@stephanieswiga9007]

Saw Nick Wright on this...ran here to watch Broussard shut him down! There are few like Broussard...FACTS!

[@gregsomebody7247]

Great podcast. It's nice to see two knowledgeable pundits debate facts and stats without resorting to yelling.

[@jetsmoxe3246]

This is where it all started!!

[@Prettymacko617]

this podcast is dope as is, but with Nick it's on a another level...sick duo

[@EazyyMuthuLovinnE]

Bill Simmons and Broussard got the two best sports podcast right now

[@kenan-b]

jalen and Jacoby

[@jassiebasra4258]

How many times did nick say " your right and ill give you that" 🤔

[@kingjames6203]

Jassie Basra i dont think he ever pointer to his right or left he mightve said "you're right" tho

[@moeaftab]

Chris definitely won the debate about LeBron vs. MJ. After this debate, it is clear that Nick Wright's arguments about LeBron being the GOAT just doesn't hold up strong enough against MJ.

[@moeaftab]

tony tonyt not yet, but maybe one day.

[@travisoshea]

Funny thing is that Nick Wright tweeted out that KD is better than Lebron years ago but, when he switched his narrative to build his brand and biases he deleted it. He’s a joke and has been caught lying on TV.

[@manofaith75]

if you're a jordan fan you would say that, if you're a bron fan you wouldn't say that. Translation, your opinion don't mean tish in the realm of universal consciousness.

[@saida.1204]

Chris was cooking Nick with the facts. Objectivity vs Subjectivity at its finest.

[@938873]

This is GOLD !! Thank you FS1 !! Wright and Broussard is awesome

[@bartonjb1991]

Colin you need to mention your podcast on other shows some more. You the most unbiased NBA reporter in the business and as a subsciber to the herd I didnt even know you had a podcast. You need to shout it out more often. I love the analysis without all of hype and controversy most analyst spout for ratings.

[@CalebHosner]

I can't believe I just found this. Chris Broussard is one of the best in the sports world. Love both these dudes. Thank you guys for what you do!!!! Fox Sports is the FUTURE

[@ChocolateThunder888]

This was a fun one. Love Chris Broussard and Nick Wright!

[@KevinAGV]

Nick has been the best, Nick has to cover the NBA finals with Broussard.

[@sypherd.3771]

Nick officially changed his definition of the GOAT just so he could feel better about arguing for Lebron.

[@Mike-sx8nc]

Reese B the goat is a combination between total accomplishments/accolades and overall talent/player. Jordan is the best one.

[@hartakurnia6724]

Reese B man you forgot to see the era. People saying Bill Russell ain't the goat because of the era he played despited of his rings. People saying Jordan is the GOAT because people argue about how tough the 90's eras. He led the league 10 times in scoring in those defensive era's

[@Jay62812]

Harta Kurnia 90's era was wack compared to now and 2000's

[@stevekaufmann8109]

Jalen Hawkins nah they're all good, even 80s. The 50s and 60s were bad though

[@TheoryandRobG]

Wright has valid points but i appreciate Chris' objectivity.

[@chasingfelix3609]

This is what a discussion and comparison of two great players should be. No yelling involved and respect to both players

[@sidikudemon237]

chris my favourite guy on tv....the only objective one out there....

[@JordanMaD]

These two are a dream podcast right now! Coming from the U.K, great job FoxSports, I love Undisputed and the Herd!!!

[@SimpleMentePJ]

Best episode ever! Keep on the great job guys!

[@azaznogalesaz]

"Houston is legit now" I bet he regrets saying that now lol

[@jumpstart55million]

DLO BROWN Yea I cringed when I heard that..lol

[@anima099]

I love Chris Broussard and I love LeBron James so now I'm confused lmao Yeah, I get Chris' point which is why he's my favorite sports analyst but I also recognize Nick's takes. I also believe one on one, Jordan's better but in a team effort, LeBron wins. That's just how they play and they're different. One has that killer instinct, the other has that pass first mentality. But in the end of the day, Colin Cowherd's right: LeBron HAS to beat GSW this year if he wants a good argument for the GOAT. Superteams like GSW rarely form so LeBron better capitalize on this opportunity to beat them while he's still at peak form.

[@ROUBA33]

you didnt watch Michael pllay. It´s an huge difference between Michael and LeBron

[@TheoryandRobG]

ROUBA79 you must've never watched LBJ.

[@1TotalJabroni]

I'm taking LBJ every time. More impactful, more of a team player, more physically imposing, more total production, he just stuffs stat sheets man... he's a legendary talent, will never see another LBJ just like we will never see another Jordan, although Kobe was really close.

[@TheVilouboy]

WTH? Chris got a PODCAST? Instant subscriber!! Good stuff brother, keep it up Shoutout from 🇯🇵

[@JeremiahJai]

This is my first viewing of "in the zone". I know im late. Shouts out to Chris B tho these segments are legit man i was already a fan im an even bigger fan of u now my guy. Keep it going my guy.

[@747RAWR]

I feel like Chris has been waiting for this moment for a long time

[@seankelly4594]

as a man i can't take nick Wright serious

[@ks111444]

I hope we get more of these 2, they are great together.

[@JJayy05]

you got a whole show created with them now

[@SILMANTV]

Found Another Place to Watch CB gotta love it

[@TheRealJYPark14]

This 47 minutes is infinitely better than any minute of First Take or Undisputed

[@alexfrost4948]

Happy for Chris. He's doing a great job. Like his character and analytics very much

[@bronmatthews3289]

Broussard the GOAT

[@ryanconklin4885]

Nick Wright won't give up no matter Chris says about the Cavs and/or Lebron...straight HOMER!!!

[@MarkDarnell]

Broussard is the sports analyst GOAT

[@famazplayz8123]

Nick's 32 right now, that explains why he hasn't watched Jordan because he was young when Jordan dominated the 90s

[@navin4984]

It doesn't matter. He's watched every playoff game. I'm 23 right now. I have every single 90's playoff game recorded on cassette, except 1991's playoff and finals games.

[@jameslewis1811]

Except Jordan played playoff games in the 80s as well. This is what Broussard means. If your'e going to tell us about your cassette tapes you need to watch ALL of Jordan's playoff games. You can't even start to compare or make a judgement there. Also missing the 91 playoffs and Finals game IS a big deal. You just haven't really seen all of him then.

[@mcolemc22]

really enjoyed this conversation between two intelligent sports analysts, but Nick you gotta let me get them kicks bro them joints dope

[@zacharyhoy1933]

I always thought these two should have had a show when I first watched this podcast cuz of the chemistry. kinda funny to see how it actually happened and how successful it is

[@Tyler_M]

0:01 Nick Wright tryna snap all Chris's fingers off with that dap up 😂😂😂

[@charltonparyag1995]

Chris man you know your stuff and is objective

[@JigsawJay007]

nice, I've been looking for this podcast

[@edisjd]

They need their own show, easier listen than first take and undisputed by far!

[@collin571]

This interview is pure gold

[@hpulker]

MJ reached his peak, the best player and the winner with rings ever AND NEVER WENT DOWN again, EVER. Lebron did that too AND WENT DOWN, lost in the finals, twice! Next question.

[@derubermensch9809]

hocam bak burda yanlış bi durum var bence.O dönemin basketboluyla bu dönemin basketbolu arasında o kadar çok fark var ki. Bill Russell da 13 sezonda 11 şampiyonluk yaşadı ve bir daha kimse böyle bir başarı yakalayamayacak. Aynısı Jordan içinde geçerli ancak tartışma noktasını buradan alırsak jordan içinde en iyisi diyemeyiz böyle bir durumda. Çünkü o da kendisinden önce gelen bir sürü superstar'ın başardıklarını başaramadı . Kendine ait bir legacy kurdu . Lebrondan bunları beklemek haksızlık bence

[@trentf4891]

Lebron James does not guard 5 positions. Jesus Christ!

[@johanndiaz8387]

Trent F 2013 Finals game 6

[@el3saint527]

Keyser Soze one series?

[@navin4984]

I think you need to watch more NBA basketball people.

[@el3saint527]

Navin lebron cant guard Dwight AD Cosuins or most centers just being realistic

[@100ovrbatmanbron7]

Trent F LeBron can guard 1-5, but he won't fair well against stars out of his position. and West was going up against Bosh the majority of the time anyway.

[@sypherd.3771]

If he has a Russ painting, I don't even want to THINK about what he has of Lebron in his house!

[@tharealest8190]

I'm a LeBron supporter and I gotta admit that's hilarious !😂🤣

[@innercity28]

Wooow this is cool to watch in 2024

[@GuiPT88]

I'm amazed at Manu Ginobili finding time inbetween playoff games and training to also work as a sports analyst. Most NBA players wait until retirement to make that career transition. Props.

[@MG-qf9gx]

they need an official tv show

[@BoxingComedian]

Nick: LeBron also shoots a better percentage from 3 Chris : LeBron's shooting percentage may end up being better than Bird's from 3 Chris killed his argument, no one is stupid enough to think LeBron a better 3 point shooter than Bird.

[@relph6032]

Hanma Yujiro the argument was against MJ tho. Nobody is crazy enough to say that MJ is a better 3 point shooter than LeBron. Eye test and stats backs that up.

[@Jo.MeL95]

Oh I've been waiting for this one man

[@JusMykeTV]

Nick Wrong should never be on this great podcast ever again.

[@nadotcom]

Those 11's though 😱!

[@redcloud8444]

The situation is this, go on, keep on explaining and i'll pick a spot here and there, if i find something wrong it's my chance to shine. Go on keep on talking and explaining. The more you talk the more possibility of mistake . Good strategy.

[@lucabrazi7773]

It isn't a comparison LeBron - 3 Titles 14 years Jordan - 6 Titles 14 years. Not including Michael doesn't even know what a game 7 feel like. O' and Air Jordan never tasted defeat in a Finals.

[@mattbuxxs8827]

This was an excellent segment 👍👍👍

[@cjvangin]

I personally have lbj 6th but thats just me behind jordan magic, kobe, kareem, bird

[@derubermensch9809]

dude stop pumping kobe. He is not even close

[@Carolina_Boy_93]

Caner NALBANT You crazy. Kobe was the truth!

[@vernburns8332]

Yes Kobe is in the top 5!!!! And before you get to Lebum you go Wilt, Russell .... Just a note Wilt had over 103 50+ point games... Stats WILL NOT make Lebum the GOAT EVER!!!!!!

[@raytesiandouglas]

Chris gotta be the best at rebutting I've ever seen

[@airzone2332]

best jordan lebron debate by a mile.

[@PizzyONLY]

good points from both of these guys

[@DannyTrombley]

need to fix audio levels specifically with Chris's mic

[@top10intheworld56]

These two are great!!

[@youngnebula187]

Chris Loving the podcast bro💯

[@ogbmt]

I love Nick Wright so much haha. "or to get his body in shape... or to get his gambling in check." hahahaha

[@unplugged301]

am i the only one who thinks lebron isnt better than kobe?

[@idkman09]

Paul after Lebron goes 3-9 in the finals people will realize

[@arianiqbal3239]

U guys right because Kobe won 3 rings with the most dominant center ever Shaq ur telling me if lebron was with Shaq he wouldn’t have won 3 more rings

[@stevekaufmann8109]

Nah but magic is

[@redmen801]

not this guy again Lord help this man 😂😂

[@Walttx]

Wassup with that handshake at the beginning 😂😂

[@sirdon123]

2 of the best on tv

[@alinjo4421]

Great convo

[@Mrforever34]

My two fav people in sports entertainment this going be fun

[@tyreewilliams7518]

nick wright rocking them 11s imma huge sneakerhead 😂😂😂

[@lebronsfather4012]

Good thing Chris put this lebron Stan in his place

[@namewhat122]

Lebrons Father look at ur name and picture get a life

[@uItimatewarrior]

Darryl The Goat lol ouch

[@jiggybah1304]

This man Nick only says facts.

[@blackyemen]

I got ya back Nick #NickWrightisRight

[@jonathansafier3845]

Awesome podcast

[@NBA_Z0]

Lebron is second best passer ever? Did I hear that correctly? Magic Johnson, John stockin?

[@chasingfelix3609]

If he was talking about total assists he may be right.

[@NIKESB0111]

Love this!!!

[@joshrich1419]

lmao Nick Wright disses Jordan but still wears his shoes

[@joshrich1419]

I can never understand how people can do that though.

[@beandip9824]

When did nick "diss" jordan???

[@momentum.marketingagency]

The funny thing is on anything apart from Lebron he can actually be objective but when you say things like " Ok Lebron melted down but let's pretend that never happened" I just can't take you seriously 😂😂😂

[@drakedrizzy95]

Sheep Herder cause people think Jordan Being 1-9 Before Pippen Never Happened

[@momentum.marketingagency]

+Philip Bowdry Where did I mention Jordan???? But since you brought it up that's a dumb argument people give Lebron a pass for having no help and getting beat by the Spurs and the Warriors they give AI a pass for losing to the Lakers but somehow MJ is supposed to go through 2 dynasties with Hall of Famers everywhere in the East with no help LOL

[@deshawnhamer7752]

Sheep Herder no help??? oh not scottie pippen, and horace grant, or not rodman, and shooters like hodges, paxson, kerr, and stacy king, kukoc,... yeah ok buddy lol

[@momentum.marketingagency]

Deshawn Hamer Do you have the ability to read? We're talking about before Pippen and the 1st name you brought up was Pippen 😂 Take this L buddy lol

[@deshawnhamer7752]

Sheep Herder what l chump??? you got butchered like your name on south park lol

[@connorfischbach8147]

the side profile of this interview is nicks biggest weakness

[@leroyrodgers6089]

Chris Broussard: The voice of reason vs Nick Wrong; The Lebron Chronicler

[@nobodytoucheslbj9396]

Leroy Rodgers Outside of free throws... what is Jordan better at production wise??? Lebron is more efficient, better passer, better rebounder, more versatile defender.

[@leroyrodgers6089]

Hey bro I agree with you. Nick asked what Jordan does better. That's what I answered. Lebron does more things better than Jordan but Lebron doesn't do everything better than Jordan like Nick and Colin like to believe.

[@SILMANTV]

Nobody Touches LBJ in THIS LEAGUE I like LeBron tho he's Top 2 but nobody picking LeBron over Goat man id rather have Kobe Honestly

[@itskoota]

Leroy Rodgers idiot

[@revlee14]

NBA Reel tbh the PER is hugely flawed. Hats why guys like harden and Westbrook have high efficiency ratings but break 30 year old record for most turnovers in a season. Oh and have low fg percentage from the field

[@jeremyrhansen6637]

Nick thinks Bron is a better passer than Stockton, Nash, Kidd, Jason Williams 😀😂

[@jasonwisdom7625]

i'll raise you one. Chris Paul. Lebron is an overrated passer, just check his turnover numbers compared to any of those guys you named. He's a turnover specialist

[@BoxingComedian]

You notice how LeBron fans don't like Kawhi Leonard? It's no coincidence Nick is this disrespectful

[@treybowman8053]

Hanma Yujiro he's mr. lebron stopper and everyone knows it he is kryptonite for lebron

[@JeremiahJai]

Hanma Yujiro notice khawi fans dont like Lebron? Watch Skip lol

[@wokzrap20]

Ridiculous argument against the Kawhi having career high with only 8ast. Over the course of the years, especially in Pop's system, Parker's highest assist average per game was 5.9. Highest in Spurs history was only 8.2. Again, not enough research Mr Wright

[@johanndiaz8387]

Yawn Paular but again tony Parker is a scorer not a pure pg

[@wokzrap20]

Spurs' under Pop highest playoff assist average was 9.4 by Avery Johnson back in 1996 and Parker had 7apg in 2012. Again, Spurs play team basketball. If we're counting hockey assists, then Kawhi would average more than 10 a night.

[@OgLoC2]

Chris he tried it on Bobby Portis and Felicio in the BOS/CHI series

[@chosenn2]

20:45 to Nick's credit he praises LeBron and also expects him to beat the warriors...if he doesnt, just don't use excuses.

[@navin4984]

Nick probably took more L's than W's in this podcast but At around 9:00 , Nick has a point. MJ had not accomplished the most ever & people had already started calling him the GOAT & putting up statues of him in 1994. How come MJ didn't have to win more than 6 rings? or 11 rings? How come he didn't have to go to the finals the amount of times that Kareem went? How come MJ didn't have to match Kareem or Bill Russell's total number of season MVP awards? How come MJ didn't have to top Kareem's all time scoring record? How come MJ didn't have to get as many Triple Doubles as Magic Johnson in the playoffs? How come MJ didn't have to average 8 Rebs & 8 Assists? How come he gets away with scoring 50+ points in a few games? How come he didn't have to play in as many All-Star game as Kareem? Why does he get a pass for retiring 2 to 3 times while other guys had to play from debut to retirement? People bring up that LeBron is playing in a weak era of the NBA. Did they ever ask themselves if Kareem, Magic, and Russell played in tougher eras than MJ? They just started calling him the GOAT after walking away with 3 straight titles and 3 Finals MVPS and a few other accolades But when LeBron hasn't yet gotten 6 rings like MJ, he can't be called the GOAT whatsoever? Everyone goes nuts.

[@sessahme]

As a rookie, Magic Johnson started at center in the close out game of the NBA finals, he played all but one minute and exploded for 42 points, 15 rebounds and seven assists, including an impressive 14-of-14 from the line. And Lakers won. This is part of the reason I think he was better than Jordan. Although I do think comparing players is stupid. Too many variables.

[@hny2396]

sessahme Magic also had Kareem and in that closeout game there was a guy by the name of Jamal Wilkes(a HOFer) that dropped 40 to help the lakers wins

[@nate82382]

Lol I liked this video before watching and support my decision 100%

[@dontevertouchmyhat1169]

"LeBron is better than Jordan" (crosses legs wearing air Jordan's)

[@tharealest8190]

What's your point ???

[@LordofMonkes]

That has nothing to do with anything

[@eddieteves1720]

They were great together

[@jiggamynigga1943]

I guess Toucan Sam gave up on his quest to find Froot Loops cereal and decided to do podcasts with Chris Broussard instead.

[@airzone2332]

What happened the year later against Shaq after a full season a sweep i think

[@LOCOnarwhal]

I think there's a difference between the best and the greatest

[@nigodemoscarfo3149]

Jordan is a far better closer than Lebron. LeBron has gotten a lot better but he's no killer

[@blaneries8925]

Naim Ali that's fare but Lebron is just a better leader and makes all his teammates better

[@nightriderrr]

Blane Ries how does he make his teammates better? All his teammates are experienced vets previous all stars. You say he makes them better but when they lose you say his teammates sucks. Can't have it both ways. Jordan makes his teammates better because non accomplished anything prior to playing with Jordan and he made them solid role players who played to their full potential. You won't win this debate.

[@bmore24t56]

LeBron is a killer dude Boston series pistons series etc.

[@stevekaufmann8109]

Bmore24 t what's the etc lol

[@tuainajotogotogo7956]

scoobydooby stevearooney hahaha 😂😂

[@i0072s]

Chris = GOAT

[@gdasdgas]

nick is the only one Who is willing to see Jordan as a human and not a god. real talk.... Jordan is way to much hype in These days

[@zonzore]

Marcel Cullmann ....... exactly!

[@MoviesWithMatt]

completely agree! Tired of all this MJ worship... why does everyone act as if MJ is miles above every other basketball legend?!

[@hugginsrahshaad]

Marcel Cullmann PREACH!!

[@swagking1846]

Marcel Cullmann thats fact

[@swagking1846]

problem is men idolazie to much
