I want so badly for Nick & Bo to do a podcast together. I've heard Nick on Bomani's show a few times, and it's always magic

[@Stryk22]

Bomani's podcast is called 'The right Time with Bomani Jones.' Nick comes on the podcast from time to time.

[@Kevinschart]

people give nick a hard time but he's really entertaining, and his show on Fox is actually my favorite. As much as I love skip and shannon it gets tiring hearing them argue about lebron and jordan for 20 minutes everyday.

[@jonathanpometto7017]

Would easily be the best duo on right now if they fully teamed up

Is it just me, or does Nick Wright elevate the game of every host he’s a guest for?

[@dave210yt]

yeah, I like Bomani's show but this should be a recurring segment.

[@kyletrout3828]

Yeah, I LOVED this back and forth. I'm a big Bo fan in pretty much any environment but Nick Wrights thing on FS1 can be kinda tough sometimes. Like he's trying too hard to be contrarian? Idk what it is. But this was awesome. Nick Wright talking to Bo just felt genuine lol.

[@paulwilliams5500]

Why Bomani Jones isn't working for Fox Sports across from Wright on First Things First or even matched up against PTI in the afternoons is beyond me.

Because ESPN is paying Bomani crazy money

[@jerwarrickhartzog2206]

@@shermandudley5548 True enough, but it's safe to say Bo can't shine on ESPN. No one over there can hold a candle to his pure intellect, and it's buried at ESPN. Like High Noon. Bo ran circles around Pablo Torre in debates and the show tanked as a result. I'd watch Bo debate Nick Wright, Shannon Sharpe, Colin Cowherd, and Skip Bayless all day.

[@shermandudley5548]

@@jerwarrickhartzog2206 debating Skip is like debating a wall, no way would Fox allow both Bo and Shannon Sharpe together, Nick is a good paring, and does Colin even debate people anymore?

[@crazytrain111]

Lebron for a decade, best player alive, all time stats, teams contender & win with him & collapse without him = Disqualified from winning any MVPs because his teams weren’t a high enough seed. Jokic this year, all time stats, team is good enough to make the playoffs with him & terrible without him and he’s a 6th seed = Absolutely 1000% MVP, anyone who disagrees is just a hater. Can someone explain this to me? I just need to understand why we’ve suddenly completely changed the criteria for mvp again?

[@jaredpurcell3982]

Have you seen the absolute spuds he is playing with. No other player in this league today is getting that team to the playoffs. None.

[@alixus10]

Well Jordan should have had 10 MVPs then.

[@crazytrain111]

@@alixus10 idk about 10 but he definitely should have a lot more than 5. He shoulda been MVP in 93 and 97 and probably a few more.

@@crazytrain111 But he didn't have. That is the point. It isn't always so clear cut. It's not just the best player gets the MVP.

[@crazytrain111]

@@alixus10 its not always clear cut but in the last decade there have been 8 different MVPs. That’s way to many people winning that award if you ask me. The current MVP is getting ejected from playoff games and it looks like they about to get bounced in round 1 and nobody is criticizing him for it lol. People somehow elevate him to back to back mvp but then don’t want to hold him to any sort of back to back mvp standard.

[@rukawa23gold]

He is very perceptive in current basketball affairs. He is very logical , precise and never emtional as long he doesn't debate anything Lebron related ....... Giannis will enter in Goat conversation if he repeats as Champ. And if he 3 peats, then definitely in Goat debate.

[@jamesgabrielturner592]

Including Lebron :) He has some of the best takes out there, lots of dumb Lebron fanboys have ruined the narrative about him that I think Nick articulates appropriately. His NBA takes have been awesome for like three years, him and Bill Simmons have made me some playoff money every year

[@danwindsor770]

yes, impressed that the Celts swept the Nets. However, the Bucks are better in every faze. Giannis is right now better than KD. (equal on offense, but Giannis is many times better in D). Jrue is more reliable than Kyrie. Who do you think is better than Lopez, Middleton, Portis, Pat Connaughton and Grayson on the Nets??
