Speaker 3: Welcome in What's Right with Nick wright episode one. It
Speaker 3: is our first episode that from start to finish, my
Speaker 3: soon to be eighteen year old high school graduate daughter,
Speaker 3: Diora is in for Demonse. Demonse officially moves to LA
Speaker 3: on Friday. Now he will be for those Demanse stands
Speaker 3: out there. It's really just one guy with a Twitter account.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: He will be back on the show from Los Angeles
Speaker 3: before football season resumes. But in the meantime, the star
Speaker 3: of stage and screen one, do Youora right? Is gonna
Speaker 3: join me? You excited for this?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, that seems sarcastic, but she is. This is a
Speaker 3: great opportunity for her and any casting agents out there.
Speaker 3: Keep in mind, again, as we mentioned last, the college
Speaker 3: fund isn't quite as robust as it once was. So
Speaker 3: if she gets maybe an opportunity, a professional opportunity to
Speaker 3: go along with college or maybe replace college. You know,
Speaker 3: we are listening, and she is, you know, accepting auditions.
Speaker 3: Here is what is not on today's show. Not on
Speaker 3: the show. Paul George gonna miss the start of the playoffs.
Speaker 3: That's on the show because we already knew it. Aliah
Speaker 3: Boston goes number one overall in the WNBA draft and
Speaker 3: sidebar on that. With name, image and likeness being a
Speaker 3: big thing in college sports now, and with the women's
Speaker 3: tournament rating the way it did, I think you're going
Speaker 3: to see the best female basketball players trying to stay
Speaker 3: as long in college, maybe fifth year of eligibility, because
Speaker 3: I think there is more money to be made right
Speaker 3: now for a college women's basketball player than in the WNBA.
Speaker 3: And Carson Palmer, with the worst sports take of twenty
Speaker 3: twenty three, close the book on it. We're in April.
Speaker 3: No one's gonna beat it. He says, Joe Burrow is
Speaker 3: better than Patrick Mahomes. Now do Youorra? You're not what
Speaker 3: I would call a diehard football fan, but in your
Speaker 3: you know, somewhat amateur opinion, is there anyone in the
Speaker 3: league better than Patrick Mahomes?
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say even she knows that yet.
Speaker 3: Garzon Balmber, Oh, because he's a Bengal, is gonna cape
Speaker 3: for Joe Burrow. Give me a break, all right, Doorra,
Speaker 3: It's gonna be really hard for me not to call
Speaker 3: you Scooter. Throughout today's show. I keep I keep wanting
Speaker 3: to say, all right, Scoot, All right, Dora, what are
Speaker 3: we starting with today?
Speaker 5: Okay? So your NBA champion pick, the Lakers are in
Speaker 5: the play in. Yeah, and you've predicted that the Warriors
Speaker 5: won't make it out a round one. Yes, So what
Speaker 5: happens when La gets bounced and the Warriors go go
Speaker 5: on to defend their titles?
Speaker 3: Okay, well that's not gonna happen, but that would be
Speaker 3: disastrous for me, right, So I do have a bit
Speaker 3: of a tortured history involving my picks and the Warriors.
Speaker 3: So it dates back to twenty six you know, really,
Speaker 3: my first big day on television was filling in for
Speaker 3: Colin Cowherd July fourth, twenty sixteen. What what do you make?
Speaker 3: What you think? It's sweet that I remember the day
Speaker 3: and it was the biggest day of my professional life
Speaker 3: up to that point. I was hosting my professional idols
Speaker 3: radio show. I was getting to host it because it
Speaker 3: was a holiday. He was with his family, and ten
Speaker 3: minutes before we went on the air, Kevin Durant shocked
Speaker 3: me and a lot of the sports world by leaving
Speaker 3: the Oklahoma City Thunder to go to the Golden State Warriors.
Speaker 3: And I said that day and then throughout that season
Speaker 3: that the Warriors had made a mistake that they should
Speaker 3: have just run it back. And I know now it
Speaker 3: seems re ridiculous, but in the moment, my argument I
Speaker 3: think was sound. That was the best team I had
Speaker 3: ever seen, the twenty sixteen Warriors. They had just won
Speaker 3: seventy three games. Steph Curry had the best offensive season,
Speaker 3: arguably in the history of the sport. Now they're massively
Speaker 3: changing their team because they were overreacting to Lebron ripping
Speaker 3: off the greatest three games stretch in the history of
Speaker 3: basketball to beat them. That if one shot had gone differently,
Speaker 3: they would have won back to back championships and not
Speaker 3: changed anything. So why massively remake their team. I said
Speaker 3: they'd be worse than they lost to the Lebron and
Speaker 3: the Calves on Christmas, and I said the Calves were
Speaker 3: gonna win the title and the Caves would beat them
Speaker 3: in five games for to one. The Lakers went on
Speaker 3: to win the next two championships. They won in five
Speaker 3: that year. The next year they swept Lebron and many
Speaker 3: people consider it the greatest team in the history of
Speaker 3: the sport. Then Durant got hurt, Durant Draymond get an argument,
Speaker 3: Durant leaves, and then the Warriors are seemingly, you know,
Speaker 3: flailing about. They get D'Angelo Russell and the Durant trade.
Speaker 3: They then trade D'Angelo Russell for Andrew Wiggins and draft picks.
Speaker 3: Andrew Wiggins, at the time was on a horrible contract
Speaker 3: and a very inefficient player. And I went on TV
Speaker 3: and said, this trade is gonna be the reason why
Speaker 3: Steph Curry never plays in another NBA finals. And then
Speaker 3: two years later, the Warriors made the NBA Finals and
Speaker 3: I was I was, oh, I was very wrong, and
Speaker 3: the Warriors players talked about it and Draymond Green said, Nick, right,
Speaker 3: when are you gonna apologize Andrew Wiggins. There's the whole thing.
Speaker 3: Was very wrong. So the Warriors make the finals against
Speaker 3: another team I don't have a great history with Boston,
Speaker 3: and I picked the Warriors to win the title, and
Speaker 3: then the Warriors win. It's one one in the series.
Speaker 3: I picked the Warriors to win the title, and I
Speaker 3: switched my pick to the Celtics, and then guess what
Speaker 3: happened to your I thought you were never wrong, though,
Speaker 3: well you know, I'm very rarely, if ever wrong on facts,
Speaker 3: as I do not have the ability to see the future,
Speaker 3: so occasionally my predictions are incorrect. But so I picked
Speaker 3: the I finally, for the first time ever, picked the
Speaker 3: Warriors and then switched it to the Celtics. And then
Speaker 3: what happened in that series? Do you think the Warriors one?
Speaker 3: And then Draymond Green again podcasted about me and saying
Speaker 3: that I have to stand on it. You of course
Speaker 3: you would too. So that then brings us to this
Speaker 3: year where the Golden State Warriors were a historically bad
Speaker 3: road team. Yeah, exactly, because they haven't been that good
Speaker 3: and they are playing the frisky Sacramento Kings. The Kings
Speaker 3: had a great season. They're the three seed. The Warriors
Speaker 3: had a disappointing season. They're the sixth seed. The Warriors
Speaker 3: are huge favorites in the series. I am picking the Kings.
Speaker 3: I do not believe this Warriors team is going to
Speaker 3: be able to just it's not great for me.
Speaker 5: If they win, it's gonna be the funniest thing ever.
Speaker 3: Well, so here is the So then let me give
Speaker 3: you the context of the Lakers. Lakers obviously had a
Speaker 3: terrible start to the season. They had a broken roster,
Speaker 3: then they made massive trades. Since the trade deadline, they've
Speaker 3: been the best team in the West. I am picking
Speaker 3: the Lakers to win the title in part.
Speaker 5: Just because of Lebron though Is that just because when
Speaker 5: you have him.
Speaker 3: Not to stick by him, but because he's still one
Speaker 3: of the eight best players in the sport. Anthony Davis
Speaker 3: is playing great, and you guys want to know something
Speaker 3: real funny, just quickly here and then I'll get back
Speaker 3: to the analysis. I told Diora before the show that, like, hey,
Speaker 3: feel free. People like it when you you know, when
Speaker 3: you were demons or whomever. Just wait, just wait a second,
Speaker 3: poke fun at me about the Lebron stuff. So I
Speaker 3: encourage her to do it. And yet right when she
Speaker 3: did it, I got very angry, Like I was like, well, no,
Speaker 3: that is not why it's not state. Even though I
Speaker 3: told you to do it, I get very angry. So
Speaker 3: I picked the Lakers. We could have a Lakers Warriors
Speaker 3: Round two series if the Lakers win tonight and then
Speaker 3: beat the Grizzlies, and if the Warriors beat the Kings.
Speaker 3: I don't think the Warriors are beating the Kings. I don't.
Speaker 3: I think the Warriors are emotionally spent after last year
Speaker 3: Andrew Wiggins, who is very important to them. I was
Speaker 3: wrong about him, but he has missed two months of
Speaker 3: basketball attending to a family matter. Now he's going to
Speaker 3: be thrust into the playoff cauldron and have to be
Speaker 3: a critical player for them. The Kings statistically have the
Speaker 3: best offense in NBA history on a points per one
Speaker 3: hundred posessions basis. They're all NBA level point guard is
Speaker 3: a guy that actually played against your brother in high school,
Speaker 3: Daron Fox Houston kid, He's unbelievable. Demontes Sabonis is the
Speaker 3: exact type of center that gives Draymond trouble. So I
Speaker 3: believe the Kings will beat the Warriors. If the Kings
Speaker 3: don't beat the Warriors, the Lakers certainly will dispatch up
Speaker 3: the Warriors in round two. Now, to answer the question, okay,
Speaker 3: if the Lakers were to get bounced early, maybe even
Speaker 3: in the play in which they want, and the Warriors
Speaker 3: were to win the title, I've got some hard choices
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 5: Mm hm.
Speaker 3: I might have to just become a football guy, because
Speaker 3: my football predictions for multiple years have been spot on.
Speaker 3: But everyone kind of views me as an NBA guy
Speaker 3: just because of the Lebron stuff, because I was first
Speaker 3: to market. No, we're not best No, I don't think
Speaker 3: we're best friends. I don't even think Lebron and are friends.
Speaker 3: Were friendly, but I don't think we're close. It's not
Speaker 3: like he and I text or chat. I just recognize
Speaker 3: what I'm seeing and so on the Lebron thing. You
Speaker 3: know what, I'm gonna save this for Thursday show. Remind
Speaker 3: me to have a Lebron best case worst case discussion
Speaker 3: on Thursday show. Okay, well, someone that takes their job seriously.
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm gonna trust Victor with it, because
Speaker 3: Victor one of our producers, even though I take shots
Speaker 3: at his you know, headwear occasionally, vict No, Victor, you're
Speaker 3: my guy. Victor's shaking his head a. Victor is also
Speaker 3: not wearing the skull cap today. He switched it up.
Speaker 3: I bullied him out of it a little bit. Uh speak.
Speaker 3: Oh he's got it right next to him. Victor. Remind
Speaker 3: me to do a Lebron best case worst case thing.
Speaker 3: But short version is as I give a ten minute answer.
Speaker 3: It's terribly bad for me. If the my worst case
Speaker 3: scenario of these playoffs is the Warriors beating the Lakers
Speaker 3: in Round two and then the Warriors going on to
Speaker 3: win the title. Luckily, we're going to get Lakers Kings
Speaker 3: in round two, and I am going to some of
Speaker 3: those games. We are I'm going to Sacramento to watch
Speaker 3: some of those games. I'm going to Los Angeles to
Speaker 3: watch some of those games. I don't know how I'm
Speaker 3: doing it, but I'm doing it. Do you know where
Speaker 3: the Sacramento Kings. The Sacramento Kings in the Sacramento Well,
Speaker 3: that's another question. In the early eighties they moved from
Speaker 3: a city to Sacramento. What city do you think it was?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 3: No, where where were you born? Where was I born?
Speaker 3: They were the Kansas City Kings. Tiny knaded archibald, only
Speaker 3: guy ever to lead the league in points and assist
Speaker 3: for Kansas City. I know they left us. We haven't
Speaker 3: had a team in forty years.
Speaker 5: But it's because it's Kansas City.
Speaker 3: Oh what does that mean?
Speaker 5: I mean like they can have the chiefs like.
Speaker 3: It's all like Sacramento is a bustling metropolis.
Speaker 5: It's better than Kansas City.
Speaker 3: Okay, shot like fire, shots fired in our hometown. I
Speaker 3: don't I don't like that.
Speaker 5: I don't like that.
Speaker 3: We have a You and me of our five members
Speaker 3: of our family were the only people born in Kansas.
Speaker 5: In California and one is in Kansas and Missouri, which
Speaker 5: doesn't really help.
Speaker 3: Okay, next topic, I'm not gonna have you take shots
Speaker 3: at our hometown. What type of law? Who did I raise?
Speaker 3: You have no hometown loyalty? It's outrageous.
Speaker 5: Next, I wouldn't really call it my hometown.
Speaker 3: It is your hometown.
Speaker 5: I don't claim it's where. I don't claim it.
Speaker 3: Where do you claim?
Speaker 5: I don't claim it. I claim I'm from Houston.
Speaker 3: You claim your but you're not.
Speaker 5: But I claim that I moved there when I was
Speaker 5: going into the second grade. I don't claim Kansas City.
Speaker 3: Okay. Next, I don't like that at all. I don't
Speaker 3: like that at all.
Speaker 5: Moving on, The MAVs pulled off the biggest collapse possible,
Speaker 5: but Lucas says he's happy in Dallas right, and the
Speaker 5: Hawks are shopping chick Tray young even though they're not
Speaker 5: even eliminated yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Crazy idea. What if the Hawks and the MAVs did
Speaker 5: the Luca for Trey trade again?
Speaker 3: Okay, so they were traded on Draft Day for each other.
Speaker 3: That would be the biggest disaster in ever its history.
Speaker 3: That trade could never happen, would never happened? Have I
Speaker 3: been saying it a lot?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, Well I don't mean oh because I grasty. Oh yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: Well you know what, This is why it's good to
Speaker 3: have you here. No, no, this is why it's good
Speaker 3: to have you here because you will keep me up
Speaker 3: on those types of things. You're right, I need to
Speaker 3: expand my vocabulary a bit, and I will try to
Speaker 3: do that, So thank you for that. I am a wordsmith.
Speaker 3: This so Luca for Trey would be a debacle for
Speaker 3: the Map back and it can't happen. So we've listened.
Speaker 3: This year went as poorly as a season can go
Speaker 3: for the Maps, and next year, all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: becomes maybe the biggest year on franchise history, because next
Speaker 3: year we'll determine whether we look at this season where
Speaker 3: they missed the playoffs as the aberration or last season
Speaker 3: when they made the conference finals as the aberration. And
Speaker 3: for Luca, legacy wise, this is a tough one. Now,
Speaker 3: it's not a legacy ender missing the playoffs. Kobe missed
Speaker 3: the playoffs in his prime. A Kem missed the playoffs
Speaker 3: in his prime. Kareem missed the playoffs in his prime.
Speaker 3: You can miss the playoffs in your prime and still
Speaker 3: be one of the greatest players. Ever, however, it does
Speaker 3: go on the ledger. You should not have a fully
Speaker 3: healthy Luka Doncic season and not even make the play
Speaker 3: in to be eligible for the playoffs, and the team
Speaker 3: against Luca's best wishes quit the final couple games of
Speaker 3: the year. We'll see how that works out for him.
Speaker 3: Maybe they end up with an awesome draft pick, maybe
Speaker 3: they move up in the lottery and they get scooted,
Speaker 3: or amazingly somehow get Winmbanyama. But you're talking about a
Speaker 3: seven foot five French kid that plays guard. You've never
Speaker 3: seen anyone like him?
Speaker 5: Seven foot five, that's insane.
Speaker 3: No, we've never seen anyone like him. The concern is
Speaker 3: he just tall, though?
Speaker 5: Is he actually like No, that's.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying. He plays guard, he shoots threes, he
Speaker 3: plays out on the perimeter, he brings the ball up.
Speaker 3: Never seen an athlete like him ever, So a lot
Speaker 3: of teams are trying to be bad this year because
Speaker 3: the worst teams have the best chance of getting the
Speaker 3: number one pick. The concern with him is health because
Speaker 3: guys that tall usually aren't healthy. But for context, for that,
Speaker 3: Lebron is six ' eight, so he's nine inches taller
Speaker 3: than Lebron Dwight Howard. Dwight Howard is not even seven
Speaker 3: ft tall seven to one, so this guy's seven five.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Do you remember do you remember yew Ming, the Asian
Speaker 3: guy played for Houston? Yeah, Yeoming some four. This guy's
Speaker 3: seven five and plays guard. He's unbelievable. So listen, if
Speaker 3: the MAVs get him, then it was so they all
Speaker 3: worked out, but they're probably not gonna get him. They're
Speaker 3: probably getting up with Grady Dick from Kansas, the tenth
Speaker 3: pick of the draft, and that's not exactly a world changer.
Speaker 3: So some of this though, Luca needs to get in
Speaker 3: better shape. Luca is reportedly oddly loves sweet tea and
Speaker 3: drinks a ton of them, like a lot a day. Yeah,
Speaker 3: something like that, and it puts on weight. He also
Speaker 3: smokes hookah, which again he's a pro athlete. He's now
Speaker 3: in his defense because he plays from Slovenia. He plays
Speaker 3: for their Olympic team and their World championship team during
Speaker 3: the summers, so he has had like three straight years
Speaker 3: or nothing but basketball. You had the Bubble playoffs, then
Speaker 3: you had the Olympics, then you had a season, then
Speaker 3: you have the World Championships, then you had another season.
Speaker 3: So he needs a break, but he needs to get
Speaker 3: in better shape. They got to figure out what they're
Speaker 3: doing with Kyrie. They are teetering on disaster. The MAVs.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, the Hawks are full blown disaster. Yeah. Ah,
Speaker 3: and listen, Trey Young's dad gets mad at me about
Speaker 3: this stuff. I really like Trey coming out of Oklahoma.
Speaker 3: He is an offense unto himself. We have seen him
Speaker 3: be the engine of a team that made a conference finals.
Speaker 3: You can't take that away from him. Here's what you
Speaker 3: can say, though, he seems to be a coach killer.
Speaker 3: He kills you defensively, and he doesn't seem to be
Speaker 3: the best organizational leader. So if you're Trey and you're
Speaker 3: hearing you're already being shopped, it's less about will the
Speaker 3: Hawks actually trade you, and more about whether you get
Speaker 3: traded or not. Are you going to adjust some of
Speaker 3: your leadership and personality issues to be a winning player.
Speaker 3: You're gonna have defensive issues no matter what because of
Speaker 3: your size, but you're so great offensively. If you're a
Speaker 3: better leader and better with teammates and coaches. You could
Speaker 3: be one of the great players in this league right now.
Speaker 3: He is, as Bill Simmons would say, a good stats,
Speaker 3: bad team guy. That's just what he is. And his
Speaker 3: trade market's gonna be very interesting this offseason if they
Speaker 3: actually do shopp him.
Speaker 5: All right, Next, okay, you picture all NBA team.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna You can keep reading the question, but
Speaker 3: we're gonna show you guys that on the screen. Go ahead.
Speaker 5: You don't really have a real vote though. I don't
Speaker 5: know where you got the idea that you did. But
Speaker 5: you put on Luca even though he missed the playoffs
Speaker 5: in no Jalen Brunson. Yeah, okay, how is that possible?
Speaker 3: Okay, So I'll be very listen. So here's my all
Speaker 3: NBA teams. If you're not watching, I'll give it to
Speaker 3: you for the podcast listeners. I actually believe and leave
Speaker 3: this up for a while, guys, I believe in true
Speaker 3: positional designation. So I know the All NBA actual ballot.
Speaker 3: They let you call Yannis I'm sorry, Embiid a forward.
Speaker 3: They let you call Luca a guard. They let you
Speaker 3: call Tatum a guard. That's nonsense. We know what positions
Speaker 3: these guys play, and I stayed true to it. Next year,
Speaker 3: they're getting rid of the positional designations altogether. I hate that,
Speaker 3: but set that aside. So my first team is very
Speaker 3: easy at the top and then gets complicated. Embiid, Yannis Tatum,
Speaker 3: Diaron Fox, and Steph Curry. So Embiid is my MVP,
Speaker 3: he's got to be first team. Yan is still the
Speaker 3: best player in the league. He's my second in MVP voting.
Speaker 3: He's got to be first team. Tatum has been unbelievable.
Speaker 3: He had a bit of a slow post All Star Break,
Speaker 3: you know, spell, but that's fine. He's a no doubt
Speaker 3: first teamer. The guard spots are tough. I went de
Speaker 3: Aaron Fox because his clutch numbers this year have been
Speaker 3: out of this world. The Kings of the three seed.
Speaker 3: No one saw that coming. And then my other guard
Speaker 3: spot to Steph. Now, he didn't play as many games
Speaker 3: as other guys. I get it, but he to me,
Speaker 3: my minimum threshold games is right about two thirds of
Speaker 3: the season. You've got to play at least about fifty
Speaker 3: four games to be eligible. Steph hit that mark. I
Speaker 3: don't think this Warriors team is very good. He got
Speaker 3: them to the sixth seed. He gets the last guard
Speaker 3: spot second team Jokic, obvious center forward Lebron, Jimmy Butler, Donovan, Mitchell, Luca.
Speaker 3: So let's deal with the guards and the forwards. Lucas
Speaker 3: still was thirty eight, thirty two to eight to eight
Speaker 3: this year. There's thirty two, eight and seven. This year.
Speaker 3: They were the four seed before they traded for Kyrie.
Speaker 3: I can't knock him off the All NBA teams all together? Now?
Speaker 3: Could I knock him down to the third team?
Speaker 5: But you couldn't technically.
Speaker 3: Do anything, you know you mean, because I don't.
Speaker 5: You don't really have the power to do that.
Speaker 3: But you want to know something tragic that happened to me.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I should reveal this, but I'm
Speaker 3: going to Adam left go. He was at our Halloween
Speaker 3: party dressed as Zach Morris and Oh from Saved by
Speaker 3: the Bell, and my wife was Lisa Turner. You remember them.
Speaker 3: He and I went to college together. Uh. He's a
Speaker 3: dear friend of mine and works for TNT hosting inside
Speaker 3: the NBA. He text me like two weeks ago, check
Speaker 3: your email. I'm like, what's it about. He's like, check
Speaker 3: your email NBA Awards votes because he got an email
Speaker 3: that he was a new voter. Again, left go if
Speaker 3: I'm not supposed to be reveal the story, but it's
Speaker 3: too late. So I'm like, oh my god, it's they're
Speaker 3: they're inviting in the new crop of voters because there's
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty voters and there is no argument
Speaker 3: that I am not one of the one hundred and
Speaker 3: twenty most qualified me for this. It's mostly America, but yeah,
Speaker 3: people that cover the NBA. So I'm like, oh man,
Speaker 3: they brought in left go, They're gonna bring in me.
Speaker 3: I don't want you email, they don't want me. It's
Speaker 3: outrageous that I don't have a vote, but I don't. Okay,
Speaker 3: So back to the Luca thing. So I could have
Speaker 3: put Jaw over Luca for second team, but Jah had
Speaker 3: to leave his team because he went on ig live
Speaker 3: in a strip club holding a gun and it almost
Speaker 3: derailed his team's season. So we're I don't think that
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, it's like, well, you know, Jaw
Speaker 3: was so much a better teammate than Luca, and Shay's
Speaker 3: team won one more game than Luca's team, so That's
Speaker 3: how I can justify Luca Donovan's obvious Donovan had an
Speaker 3: argument for the first team. And then there's the forward
Speaker 3: spot that I know some people are gonna take issue with.
Speaker 3: Lebronill averaged twenty nine a game on fifty percent, played
Speaker 3: as many games as Staph and or thereabouts was in
Speaker 3: the mid fifties. And the Lakers are really good at
Speaker 3: this point. And Jimmy Butler, his numbers are not as
Speaker 3: good as everybody else's. He is a winning player. He
Speaker 3: has been extraordinary post All Star Break, even though he
Speaker 3: didn't make the All Star team. To me, he deserves
Speaker 3: a forward spot. Now we get the third team. Demonte
Speaker 3: Sabonis is a no doubter, Jalen Brown at forward is
Speaker 3: a pretty much of no doubt or. And then you
Speaker 3: get to Julius Randall. And the question there is who
Speaker 3: do we want to put on? Because I don't think
Speaker 3: the Knicks are a good story. They're also the five
Speaker 3: seed and nobody thinks they're that great of a team.
Speaker 3: I'm not giving them two All NBA guys. So he's
Speaker 3: either gonna be Julius Randall or Jalen Brunson. And this
Speaker 3: is where in my opinion. The positional stuff hurt them.
Speaker 3: I do think Jalen Brunson was better than Julius Randall
Speaker 3: this year, but the guard crop is so much deeper
Speaker 3: than the forward crop. Julius gets the spot. Shay's thirty
Speaker 3: plus a game for a team that did make the
Speaker 3: play in and Jah. You know, the strip Club gun incident, notwithstanding,
Speaker 3: was extraordinary and maybe could have been higher. So that's
Speaker 3: my all NBA teams the toughest omissions at guard. Dame
Speaker 3: average thirty two a game. He misses because his team
Speaker 3: finished with the fifth worst record in basketball. Jale and
Speaker 3: I explained, Drew Holliday just missed out. Harden could have
Speaker 3: got a spot, but he missed time and slowed down
Speaker 3: at the end of the year when he led the
Speaker 3: league and assist Anthony Edwards miss out. At forward. Kevin
Speaker 3: Durant was first team level play, but he only played
Speaker 3: forty seven games this year. You miss almost half a season,
Speaker 3: you can't be there. Anthony Davis was a tough one
Speaker 3: to leave out. Kawhi started way too slow, missed a
Speaker 3: ton of games, and then Triple j and Laurie Mark
Speaker 3: and and just barely You know they would be like
Speaker 3: four or fifteen, and then BAM would be my last center.
Speaker 3: So there it is. Now you're up today on the
Speaker 3: All NBA stuff. And if anyone watches that and thinks
Speaker 3: I'm not one of the one hundred and twenty most
Speaker 3: qualified people to give out these awards, you're out of
Speaker 3: your mind. And here's the thing, you are. These awards matter. Guys.
Speaker 3: Contract They're eligible for different levels of contracts, whether or
Speaker 3: not they make All NBA or not. So it'd be
Speaker 3: important to have the most learned, studied electorate as possible.
Speaker 3: But I get left. All right, we can just move
Speaker 3: on to Odell. We did enough on All NBA. We
Speaker 3: can skip the follow up. Go ahead, okay.
Speaker 5: The Ravens gave Odell Beckham Junior a massive one year deal.
Speaker 5: Does this mean that Lamar is staying.
Speaker 3: I don't understand how either party is dealing is doing this.
Speaker 3: The Ravens, to me, are acting irrationally, and Lamar is
Speaker 3: acting irrationally. The only acting rationally is Odell Beckham Junior,
Speaker 3: who convinced someone to give him fifteen million guaranteed coming
Speaker 3: off two torn acls. Also, Odell turns thirty one next season.
Speaker 3: This year, there were three guys in the whole league
Speaker 3: thirty one or older who had four hundred receiving yards,
Speaker 3: Kelsey who's ageless and too.
Speaker 5: And Adam Thielen is Kelsey.
Speaker 3: Kelsey's thirty three. Really, it's crazy how consistent Grady's been. Kelsey,
Speaker 3: Adam thiel and one other guy who I'm forgetting are
Speaker 3: the only guys with four hundred receiving yards they're paying Odella.
Speaker 3: He's gonna have twelve hundred receiving yards. So I get
Speaker 3: why Odell took the money. The Ravens are cheap when
Speaker 3: it comes to their star quarterback and now paying above
Speaker 3: the top of the market for an injured receiver who
Speaker 3: hasn't been great. And I love Odell. Odell actually is
Speaker 3: my friend and I'm happy for him.
Speaker 5: But would he agree with that statement?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Odell years ago facetimed Demonse to tell him how
Speaker 3: to get his hair like his when Demonse was doing
Speaker 3: like the long shaggy hair, the kind of the Odell style. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Odell and I are pals. We haven't seen each other
Speaker 3: in a long time, but yeah, and I'm rooting for him.
Speaker 3: But because of injuries, he hasn't been great since twenty nineteen,
Speaker 3: he was awesome for the Rams in their playoff run
Speaker 3: and in the Super Bowl, and then he tore his
Speaker 3: ACL in the Super Bowl. So and then you have Lamar,
Speaker 3: who seemingly had some leverage, who asked for a trade,
Speaker 3: who told the whole world, I don't want to be
Speaker 3: here anymore, and then puts on Instagram him facetiming with
Speaker 3: Odell when Odell signs, and then they went to live
Speaker 3: in Miami and partied together. So if you're the Ravens,
Speaker 3: you're like, uh, I guess Lamar is gonna be back.
Speaker 3: Even though he said he wants to trade, he's re
Speaker 3: rooting wide receivers for us. I think he's gonna be here.
Speaker 3: And if you're the rest of the league, you're like, well,
Speaker 3: the Ravens they think they're in such a rough spot
Speaker 3: with Lamar, they have to pay Odell double what anyone
Speaker 3: else was offering. These are just two parties acting irrationally
Speaker 3: right now. Lamar needs some better advice on negotiation, and
Speaker 3: the Ravens need to look around the league and be like,
Speaker 3: some teams are so desperate for quarterbacking they give Daniel
Speaker 3: Jones forty million dollars a year. Maybe we should be
Speaker 3: happy with our twenty six year old former MVP unquestioned
Speaker 3: top ten quarterback. So I don't get it all right, Deora,
Speaker 3: you were extraordinary that segment. Energy was great, the pronunciations
Speaker 3: were all great. Why am I annoying? I'm complimenting you.
Speaker 3: That was your first true segment on the show. That's
Speaker 3: gonna have tens of thousands of people will watch this.
Speaker 3: I see the view counts. I know exactly how many
Speaker 3: people watch it. I can tell you how many are
Speaker 3: watching it right now live and you crushed. We're don't
Speaker 3: leave me hanging. Don't leave me hanging. Come on, there
Speaker 3: we go, you crush. Good job, see block ask questions
Speaker 3: for me and the chat de'orro read. I'm coming up
Speaker 3: next a little game of Nick Wright Public Defender And
Speaker 3: oh you didn't think we were gonna do a Tuesday
Speaker 3: show on the second week of April and not talk
Speaker 3: about Augusta. Oh Butler Cabin and the Masters. That's all
Speaker 3: next as well. What's right? Stop that? What's right? We
Speaker 3: right back?
Speaker 7: Hey there, Ryan Reynolds here, it's a new year, and
Speaker 7: you know what that means. No, not the diets away
Speaker 7: for us all to try and do a little bit
Speaker 7: better than we did last year. And my resolution, I'm
Speaker 7: like Big Wireless to not be raging and raise the
Speaker 7: price of wireless on you every chance I get. Give
Speaker 7: it a try at midmobile dot com.
Speaker 6: Slash Switch forty five dollars up front payment required equivalent
Speaker 6: to fifteen dollars per month new customers on first three
Speaker 6: month plan only, taxes and fees. Extra speed's lower about
Speaker 6: forty gigabytes on unlimited cementmobile dot com for details.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in What's Right with Nick Wright?
Speaker 3: Episode one one. Excellent first segment, don't and I mean
Speaker 3: a lot of that was me, obviously, but Diora was
Speaker 3: very good, uh and very good, especially considering some of
Speaker 3: these some of these you know, people in places you're
Speaker 3: not that familiar with, Like I'm not sure Diora could
Speaker 3: point Trey Young out of a lineup and yet did
Speaker 3: a great job with it. So I'm very very pleased
Speaker 3: with how that went. Uh. We you guys can ask questions,
Speaker 3: uh to either one of us. I suppose in the yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: well yeah, if you'd like, that's fine, we'll do that
Speaker 3: in the C block. But first DOORA, what are we
Speaker 3: starting with.
Speaker 5: The masters the Masters was so exciting. Even Demonsday was
Speaker 5: super into it. On Easter Sunday.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, so that's demanday at my mom's house, asleep
Speaker 3: with John Ram getting ready to pick up undoubtedly what
Speaker 3: was another Birdie put for him?
Speaker 5: And I was asleep upstairs.
Speaker 3: And you were asleep upstairs. That's true, that is I
Speaker 3: mean those there is a rough look for our Palada
Speaker 3: zoom in. I mean the zoom in is not doing
Speaker 3: him any favors. He had a nice fit on though.
Speaker 3: But go ahead, what's your question?
Speaker 5: Okay, what were your thoughts on it?
Speaker 3: How was you don't have a Master's question? Do you
Speaker 3: just did this to make fun of me?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Basically all right, So I have Master's thoughts that I
Speaker 3: have Easter Sunday thoughts. Master's thoughts is Rombo Man came
Speaker 3: through for me. Put a nice wager on John Ram
Speaker 3: on Thursday.
Speaker 5: Looks so excited talking about it.
Speaker 3: I love the Masters. I love it? Oh really yeah?
Speaker 5: Really what I'd never heard you?
Speaker 3: Okay, stop, that's not that's not true that you just
Speaker 3: tune me out when I'm talking golf. Now. Typically I
Speaker 3: root for Tiger and I did put a small wager
Speaker 3: on Tiger as well. But okay, don't yawn into the microphone.
Speaker 3: You can be bored by the golf talk. The audience
Speaker 3: is here for the golf talk. The audience is here
Speaker 3: for the golf tark talk. Tiger made the cut twenty
Speaker 3: three straight, has never missed a cut as a professional,
Speaker 3: tied the record. Shout out Tiger, and then he withdrew
Speaker 3: because he was hurt and playing terribly. But that's fine.
Speaker 3: Made the cut. The story of the Master, okay, no problem,
Speaker 3: Stewart's silently please. The story of the Masters. Sub stories
Speaker 3: Phil Mickelson shooting a sixty five on Sunday and the
Speaker 3: crowd not really supporting him the way they once did
Speaker 3: because he went to the live Tour. I thought that
Speaker 3: was interesting. But the bigger story, of course, was John Rahm,
Speaker 3: who double bogeyed the first whole of the tournament with
Speaker 3: a four putt and then one the thing going away.
Speaker 3: A remarkable, really final seventy one holes for a guy
Speaker 3: that really could peel a bunch of majors now, and
Speaker 3: you know, this was a really good opportunity for Brooks,
Speaker 3: who hasn't won a major in a few years. He's
Speaker 3: now also on the Live tour to get that fifth major.
Speaker 3: And this is what I don't think, uh people totally understand,
Speaker 3: which is the all right, deer is really disinterested. But
Speaker 3: that's fine. I'm gonna get into it.
Speaker 5: You're gonna keep going.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep going for a moment here, Okay. So
Speaker 3: brooks Kopka is at four majors, which is a great number.
Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong. It's it's the same as Rory,
Speaker 3: it's the same as Ernie Els, it's the same as
Speaker 3: so Dure. Back when golf just had the British Open,
Speaker 3: the best golfer alive was a guy named Tom Morris Senior.
Speaker 3: We called him Old Tom Morris. This was eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 3: Guess who became the greatest golfer in the world after
Speaker 3: Old Tom Morris? Who Young Tom Morris, Tom Morris Junior?
Speaker 3: They isn't that cool? But so those guys each have
Speaker 3: four majors. It's once you get to five plus you
Speaker 3: get to legendary status. So Phil, the second best golfer
Speaker 3: of his own era, has five. Nick Foudo, who you
Speaker 3: hear at every Masters, has six. Arnold Palmer, a top
Speaker 3: ten golfer, ever, is at seven. So for Brooks to
Speaker 3: have a chance to get number five, have a big lead.
Speaker 3: It's a big miss for him and I love Brooks,
Speaker 3: but that's a big miss for him. For John Ram
Speaker 3: on the other hand, you now have the question of
Speaker 3: now that he has his second he's won two in
Speaker 3: the last two and a half seasons, having won the
Speaker 3: Open or the US Open part in me two years ago,
Speaker 3: having he has a top five at the Open that
Speaker 3: same year, and now won the Masters. Can he get
Speaker 3: up to where Rory is, who hasn't won a major
Speaker 3: in a decade? Can he do that? Or is it
Speaker 3: going to be more of a Jordan's speed, you know
Speaker 3: trajectory where he wins a few early and then falls
Speaker 3: off something. I loved it. I thought it was great.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 3: I was excited for it, as happy for Sam Bennett,
Speaker 3: the amateur who had a really nice showing. It was
Speaker 3: a great It was a great Sunday. So here's my question,
Speaker 3: and now I do need you locked back in not
Speaker 3: checking Instagram during our Master's discussion. Do you think how
Speaker 3: I conducted myself on Easter Sunday was rude?
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say it was the best.
Speaker 3: You know etiquette, So why do you say that.
Speaker 5: I mean, while we were all opening our Easter baskets,
Speaker 5: you were upstairs. We were all downstairs having a good
Speaker 5: time taking pictures. We all went outside for a little
Speaker 5: while you were still on the couch. We all ate,
Speaker 5: and you waited until we were all done eating to
Speaker 5: then grab your plate and bring it to the living room,
Speaker 5: not even eat with the rest of us.
Speaker 3: So this all happened, and I'm not proud of it. However,
Speaker 3: I don't make the schedule. There was the game eighty
Speaker 3: two of the NBA Playoffs. We had four games going
Speaker 3: on at once that mattered that I had on my
Speaker 3: computer screen. We have the Masters on. I did participate
Speaker 3: in the Easter egg hunt. I was there for that,
Speaker 3: but it was the Masters.
Speaker 5: Were you not kind of peeking through the window at
Speaker 5: moments till I.
Speaker 3: Was watching it on my phone. Was, Oh, you were
Speaker 3: watching it on your phone, but I was outside for that.
Speaker 5: This is the Easter I hunt lasted ten minutes.
Speaker 3: Well, it's that's that's, that's you know, half a hole
Speaker 3: of you know, Sunday in AUGUSTA. Here's the thing. We
Speaker 3: need to not have so many big sporting events on holidays.
Speaker 3: Because I did feel rude I didn't feel rude, and
Speaker 3: it didn't.
Speaker 5: You didn't feel rude, and I.
Speaker 3: Didn't feel badly enough to change my behavior. But I
Speaker 3: felt a little badly. I'm bringing it up now.
Speaker 5: And you had you had family that you hadn't seen
Speaker 5: in so long there too.
Speaker 3: I well, you spoke with.
Speaker 5: Them for about fifteen minutes and then proceeded to while
Speaker 5: they were talking.
Speaker 3: To me like, oh oh, I was excited. But I
Speaker 3: did get I uh, my mom's friend and my you know,
Speaker 3: dear friend Nancy, her husband Nick. He was with me
Speaker 3: watching the Masters. That's the thing is, I was providing
Speaker 3: a safe space for the other people that maybe felt
Speaker 3: uncomfortable with all the you know, maybe people are gonna
Speaker 3: talk politics, maybe well, it could get awkward. We were
Speaker 3: all just in the living room watching golf. It was great.
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, it was great. I was so
Speaker 3: howd you liked it? You spent a little time with me.
Speaker 3: My niece fell asleep on my chest for the first.
Speaker 5: Time, fell asleep on you.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, Do you are thinks that her cousin Mia
Speaker 3: that yours her favorite baby, I am her favorite? Well,
Speaker 3: very happy. I was all right, oh yeah, because that's
Speaker 3: the other thing. How am I rude? You went upstairs
Speaker 3: and took it.
Speaker 5: To sleep, and I and I went to sleep after
Speaker 5: the Easter Hunt was done, and I woke back up
Speaker 5: when Nana said it was time for dessert.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's true. All right.
Speaker 5: Next, okay, so we're gonna play a mini version of
Speaker 5: Nick Wright public Defender. It's been a rough go for
Speaker 5: your next client. He's been exposed in the playoffs. The
Speaker 5: whole COVID thing was in the worst trade in sports history,
Speaker 5: and now he's punching his own teammates. Defend your client,
Speaker 5: Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 3: All Right, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this is
Speaker 3: a very simple case, and this is one that unfortunately,
Speaker 3: far too many of us can relate to. I'm sure
Speaker 3: many of you in the jury can relate to. And
Speaker 3: before I explain the case, I would like to go
Speaker 3: to an old nursery rhyme that all of us have heard.
Speaker 3: We were almost indoctrinated with it. Yet in my experience
Speaker 3: and I think many of your experience, not only is
Speaker 3: this nursery rhyme not accurate, the exact opposite of it
Speaker 3: is what's true, and that is sticks and stones may
Speaker 3: break my bones, but words will never harm me. And
Speaker 3: I would ask you, ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
Speaker 3: think back to the toughest, hardest, most tragic moments of
Speaker 3: your life. How many of them involved physical violence the
Speaker 3: aforementioned sticks and stones, And how many of them involved someone,
Speaker 3: usually someone you're close with, a loved one, a colleague,
Speaker 3: a teammate, cutting you to your core, not with a knife,
Speaker 3: but with their words. That is what happened to my client,
Speaker 3: Thank you, your honor, they do. That is what happened
Speaker 3: to my client.
Speaker 5: My client hit someone, well.
Speaker 3: He was pushed to a break in the stone, your honor,
Speaker 3: Please allow me to make my opening arguments without interruption.
Speaker 3: Uh should he have punched Kylie Anderson?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: No, does every person have a limit? However, and Kylie
Speaker 3: Anderson knew my client was playing hurt, knew my client
Speaker 3: had been Yeah, I'm gonna use the word bullied at
Speaker 3: his previous workplace. And then Kyle Anderson looks my client
Speaker 3: in the eye and apologies for the language here, but
Speaker 3: I am going to read his quotes of verbatim for
Speaker 3: the record. Repeatedly called my client a bitch in front
Speaker 3: of his teammates friends. He had family in the stands,
Speaker 3: repeatedly looked him in the eyes and tried to emasculate him,
Speaker 3: embarrass him, and bully him. And my client is now
Speaker 3: in a spot where he has no other choice. What
Speaker 3: what is his what is his best course of action doing?
Speaker 3: Ignore him? Walk away? And you know what people will say,
Speaker 3: See he's soft, he got challenged. This is not a
Speaker 3: regular workplace. This is professional sports. Testosterone, professional professional sports.
Speaker 3: Do you think it's professional your honor to repeatedly call
Speaker 3: someone out their name?
Speaker 5: What about another term, be the bigger person? What happened
Speaker 5: to that?
Speaker 3: Well, my client tried that in Utah and he was traded,
Speaker 3: sent packing.
Speaker 5: You think he was set packing because he was the
Speaker 5: bigger person.
Speaker 3: Well, he didn't stick up for himself enough and he's
Speaker 3: you know, and he has some playoff struggles on the court.
Speaker 3: But that's the either end or there.
Speaker 9: Oh okay, my client was pushed to a breaking point,
Speaker 9: so he hit someone in the chest, not in the face,
Speaker 9: not with a weapon.
Speaker 3: It was it was he If my client is seven
Speaker 3: foot two, Kyle Anderson is six ' five.
Speaker 5: So if like someone was being really mean to me,
Speaker 5: you think I can hit them?
Speaker 3: If you felt on the safe.
Speaker 5: And I didn't stay unsafe. I said, if someone was
Speaker 5: embarrassing me and making me mad and upsetting me, you
Speaker 5: think I can hit them.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you this, if not saying I'd win in
Speaker 3: that fight. If you what would I be more disappointed in?
Speaker 3: If you came home and said I got punched today, like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, what happened? Like, well, friend of mine
Speaker 3: and I got into an argument. All her other friends
Speaker 3: were around, and I kept calling her the B word
Speaker 3: and laughing at her, so she hit me. Would I
Speaker 3: be angry at you for that? Or if you came
Speaker 3: home and said, I got to tell you something. I
Speaker 3: got in trouble. Why I punched somebody? Oh my god?
Speaker 3: Why they were bullying me. They were kept calling me
Speaker 3: out by name. They were embarrassing me in front of people,
Speaker 3: and I couldn't take it anymore. I'd say, you know what,
Speaker 3: I just w everyone to know what.
Speaker 5: He would not let that slide.
Speaker 3: I'm just letting you. I'm not saying you let it slide.
Speaker 5: I am saying, but you're trying to let him slide.
Speaker 3: I'm his public defender. That is my job to defend
Speaker 3: my clients with give the most vigorous defense possible. Do
Speaker 3: you not know how the criminal justice works?
Speaker 5: Then I'm giving you another scenario, and the scenario does
Speaker 5: not sound realistic.
Speaker 3: Sir, I rest my case, your honor, and I move
Speaker 3: for a mistrial. I think your honor had far too
Speaker 3: much input on this. You're just supposed to let me
Speaker 3: make my case. You're not supposed to be poking holes
Speaker 3: in my case. That is not how this segment works.
Speaker 5: Public offenders can't tell the judge how to do their job.
Speaker 3: Oh, now you're a legal scholar. Can we move on
Speaker 3: to the game. Can we move on to the Can
Speaker 3: we move on to the game? Can we move on
Speaker 3: to the game. What's the name of the game?
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, so look at the picture.
Speaker 3: That's a great picture.
Speaker 5: Go ahead, okay, So our first write in, Yeah, the
Speaker 5: Tea Wolves went out in style, beating up on the Pelicans,
Speaker 5: their own teammates and a wall, and all is good
Speaker 5: in Minnesota. As reports, se Gobert apologized in the team
Speaker 5: group chat. Yeah, the team with the wildest group chat
Speaker 5: is the.
Speaker 3: I gotta think it's probably the Warriors, because I don't
Speaker 3: think they have one group chat because Draymond, unlike Rudy
Speaker 3: you know, a light tap to the chest, cold cocked
Speaker 3: and sucker punched Jordan Poole in the face before the year. He,
Speaker 3: by the way, was not being bullied and he was
Speaker 3: not suspended. Uh. And I don't think they I don't
Speaker 3: even know how that group chat works. I think it's
Speaker 3: just young guys in one group chat coming.
Speaker 5: Oh, there's definitely friend groups inside the exactly.
Speaker 3: And I write and I think that Steph Clay and
Speaker 3: Draymond and Andre Gudala, who've been around for every championship
Speaker 3: and are the elder statesmen, are in one group chat,
Speaker 3: and then the younger guys are in another group chat.
Speaker 3: So that's the one I think, by the way, just
Speaker 3: because we haven't talked about it much, I think the
Speaker 3: Timberwolves the bigger loss for the Timberwolves because also what
Speaker 3: go Bear plays for the Timberwolves. He's suspended now for
Speaker 3: their must win game against the Lakers because he hit
Speaker 3: Kyle Anderson. He's a great defensive player, that's all he is.
Speaker 3: He's a great defensive player, maybe slightly overrated, but very
Speaker 3: good defensively. But they have another guy on their team,
Speaker 3: a very very good defensive perimeter guy who would be
Speaker 3: guarding Lebron. In the same game, he got frustrated with
Speaker 3: a foul call and punched a wall and broke his
Speaker 3: hand in two places and is out. So the Timberwolves
Speaker 3: are cooked tonight. They've got no one to guard Lebron.
Speaker 3: They don't have a backup center now because nas Reed's
Speaker 3: also out. They are cooked all right.
Speaker 5: Next okay. Klay Thompson became the third player ever to
Speaker 5: make three hundred threes in a season, after Harden and Steph.
Speaker 5: Is he the second best shooter ever. Clay is the
Speaker 5: number blank best shooter of all time.
Speaker 3: Catch and shoot, pure shooting. I'll give him number two
Speaker 3: behind Steph.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 3: There is an argument that ray Allen has a claim
Speaker 3: there because Ray Allen for so much of his career
Speaker 3: had to be the engine that drove the offense and
Speaker 3: had to take so many more off the dribble threes.
Speaker 3: Clay really never has to do off the dribble threes.
Speaker 3: So Clay is at worst third, probably second. Steph is
Speaker 3: inarguably number one next Okay.
Speaker 5: At least six teams have reached out to the Arizona
Speaker 5: Cardinals about trading up for the third overall pick. The
Speaker 5: team that should trade.
Speaker 3: Up is okay. So at number three, I would be
Speaker 3: If I'm trading up, it's because I want to jump
Speaker 3: in front of Indy and I want to take Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 3: He's a project quarterback, but his upside is massive. The
Speaker 3: team that I if that, I think should consider doing that. Gosh,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of teams that it might make sense for.
Speaker 3: But the team to me that it could make the
Speaker 3: most sense for if they could do it, would be Minnesota.
Speaker 3: You have a great receiver in Justin Jefferson. This will
Speaker 3: be your last year with Kirk Cousins. If you you
Speaker 3: would have to trade a ton the twenty third pick
Speaker 3: plus next year's first. But because Kirk's gonna play this year,
Speaker 3: it's not like you'd be giving up a top five
Speaker 3: pick for next year and some other stuff. I think
Speaker 3: that would make sense. I think the Raiders trading up
Speaker 3: from seven to one year of Jimmy and then going
Speaker 3: over to Anthony Richardson could make sense. I I like it.
Speaker 3: I think the Titans at ten could make sense. Any
Speaker 3: of those could make sense to me. Or the Colts
Speaker 3: do it just to make sure they get their guy.
Speaker 3: Move up one spot next okay?
Speaker 5: For a two year old. Eudonna's right. Yeah, Haslam played
Speaker 5: in an actual NBA game this weekend. Meanwhile, on the
Speaker 5: last week's show, we discussed your wardrobe choices and how
Speaker 5: my friends feel about them. Uh huh, yep, the old
Speaker 5: man trying too hard is blank?
Speaker 3: All right. I think we might have a photoshop here
Speaker 3: that we're going to show you. Eudonna's is not eudanis
Speaker 3: is awesome. And the fact he's gotten twenty Okay, I
Speaker 3: can't believe.
Speaker 5: Can someone send that to me?
Speaker 3: They just what? What does that mean? That's Steve you
Speaker 3: semi when he's pretending to be in high school.
Speaker 5: That is amazing.
Speaker 3: Okay. I don't look like that, Yes you do. I
Speaker 3: mean that is my face, but I don't dress like
Speaker 3: Yes you do.
Speaker 5: No T shirt with the zip.
Speaker 3: Up, yeah, but not the backwards hat, not the skateboard.
Speaker 3: But you guys can say I'm an old man trying
Speaker 3: to art, That's fine. I try to say cutting edge
Speaker 3: with the style. My wife style. My wife's in fashion.
Speaker 5: She like your sweatsuits, exact some of them.
Speaker 3: You know, I can threaten the needle between style and comfort.
Speaker 3: And by the way, I know you're not talking about
Speaker 3: wearing sweats you're two for two and wearing sweatshirts to
Speaker 3: this show. I will come for you, you come from.
Speaker 3: What shirts are different than what's been.
Speaker 5: Wearing a full on sweatsuit?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not as cool, it's not as coordinating.
Speaker 5: No, it's it's way better than wearing a matching sweatsuit.
Speaker 5: Did you watch that one movie that just came out.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna need more specifics than that.
Speaker 5: The one that's basically like you and mommy. What's it called?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, yes, the Jonah Hill. Ye, yes, it's uh.
Speaker 3: I forget what it's called as well. It was on Netflix.
Speaker 3: It's Jonah Hill and Lauren London people. Yeah, what about it?
Speaker 5: Did you do you remember how he got made fun
Speaker 5: of his matching sweatsuits?
Speaker 3: I thought it looked awesome.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I bet you did it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that. I thought Jonah Hill's never looks cooler.
Speaker 5: I bet you did.
Speaker 3: And he ended up with Lauren London and I ended
Speaker 3: up with your mother. So it turns out like maybe.
Speaker 5: There's something still made fun of me.
Speaker 3: You know. See, here's the thing. She didn't make fun
Speaker 3: of them, Yes she did, she did. That's she did
Speaker 3: make fun of them. How I'm agreeing with you. However,
Speaker 3: if I was wearing like Dockers khakis and a Stafford
Speaker 3: button down, she wouldn't have made fun of them. She
Speaker 3: also wouldn't have gone out with me. So like it
Speaker 3: kind of while maybe people mock it, there's also it's
Speaker 3: kind of I'm musa say something I shouldn't say. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's kind of like smoking cigarettes. You know it's not
Speaker 3: good for you, but you also deep down kind of
Speaker 3: know it's kind of cool. Like it's like, like it's
Speaker 3: not good for you, and no one should do it,
Speaker 3: but it is kind of cool. Like a grown man
Speaker 3: wearing a tracksuit that isn't Tony soprano. You probably shouldn't
Speaker 3: do it, but it's kind of cool. That's kind of
Speaker 3: where I'm going with it. So that's my answer.
Speaker 5: Next, my answer is you, that's okay, Okay, that's okay.
Speaker 5: Your legal battle with Star Wars is back on a.
Speaker 5: Season two of Tales of a Jedi is set to
Speaker 5: return without you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, do you were? Isn't this outrageous that
Speaker 3: they base this character off me?
Speaker 5: Did they know that you dressed up this for Halloween?
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't know I did it, but my lawsuit is pending.
Speaker 3: Disney go ahead.
Speaker 5: However, a new case of stolen likeliness likeness likeness has
Speaker 5: also emerged. Someone on Twitter found a fifteenth century portrait
Speaker 5: that looks a lot like Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the prince that was promised looks just like him.
Speaker 3: I've been telling you guys, it's the prince that was promised,
Speaker 3: not just this. He's a great quarterback because he looks
Speaker 3: like old European royalty. And now we have a portrait
Speaker 3: from seven hundred years ago that looks just like him.
Speaker 3: I've never been more right on anything. Last one go ahead?
Speaker 5: So which one's oh the bigger artistic?
Speaker 4: Give me?
Speaker 3: I mean totally ripped me off. I don't know that
Speaker 3: the other one pre dates Trevor Lawrence's birth by seven
Speaker 3: hundred years. That's not a rip off, I mean doesn't that?
Speaker 3: Don't they look? Actually, isn't that crazy? And the craziest
Speaker 3: thing we just put a picture from side by side?
Speaker 3: That one's crazy too. But if we can put the
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence one back up? Do you or I have
Speaker 3: been calling him the prince that was promised? And now
Speaker 3: we have a painting of a prince from seven hundred
Speaker 3: years ago looks just like how about that?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 3: Next?
Speaker 5: Okay? Our producer Matt Ford tweeted out that the new
Speaker 5: Michael Jordan movie Air was a twelve out of ten.
Speaker 5: You had a bone to pick with that at two
Speaker 5: forty on a Saturday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh so, Lebron, I'm sorry, go ahead and ask
Speaker 3: the question.
Speaker 5: Okay. My dad was texting takes to his producer at
Speaker 5: three am because I.
Speaker 3: Just couldn't let it stand. So I Matt Matt tweets
Speaker 3: out about the Jordan movie and I'm driving home from
Speaker 3: a very successful poker game at three am.
Speaker 5: That's what time you come home from those?
Speaker 3: What does it matter?
Speaker 5: You're asleep, You're s That's insane.
Speaker 3: It's too good of a game. There's too good of
Speaker 3: a game to leave. It was actually three thirty in
Speaker 3: the morning. There's too good of a game to lead.
Speaker 3: So I'm driving back and on my walk to the car,
Speaker 3: I see MaTx tweet and it just honestly angered me
Speaker 3: because the Jordan propaganda machine is just in such overdrive
Speaker 3: that now the story we are getting, we're getting movies
Speaker 3: about tennis shoes from forty god Doog years ago. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: not a mumbling word from anyone that he's selling the
Speaker 3: Charlotte Hornets right now. I know you are, and he
Speaker 3: has nice shoes, but he's selling the Charlotte Hornets at
Speaker 3: after twenty years. It's happening right now.
Speaker 4: Of the worst ownership general managing tenure in sports history history,
Speaker 4: and not a mumbling word about that.
Speaker 3: And now I gotta deal with my colleague twelve out
Speaker 3: of ten saying it's the god Doog new Citizen Kane,
Speaker 3: and so I just texted him the Lebron's would have
Speaker 3: been a thirteen out of ten. Give me a break,
Speaker 3: Give me a break. No, I'm saying, the story of Lebron,
Speaker 3: his story, his story of Jordan's shoes, Give me a break.
Speaker 3: So much of this is myth making so unbelievable. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: You really mean, do you know that Michael Jordan had
Speaker 3: the footage, He owned the rights and had the footage
Speaker 3: for it. There was documentary, but it was never made
Speaker 3: of his last season with the Bulls when they won
Speaker 3: the championship. And people have been wanting to make a
Speaker 3: documentary about this forever and he never left them. And
Speaker 3: then Lebron beat the Warriors in the twenty sixteen finals,
Speaker 3: came back from three to one down, had the greatest
Speaker 3: three game stretch in the history of the league, and
Speaker 3: people were starting to be like, oh my god, he
Speaker 3: might actually be better than Jordan. And the day of
Speaker 3: the parade, Jordan greenlit the documentary, so it was a
Speaker 3: ten hour documentary. And by the way, you know who
Speaker 3: co produced it, my co host, Kevin Wilde's wife. So
Speaker 3: I'm just surrounded by the Jordan propaganda machine, surrounded by it.
Speaker 3: We read your questions. You can still send him in.
Speaker 3: We do take a quick sixty second break, come back
Speaker 3: with your questions, put him in the chat. That's next.
Speaker 3: What's right.

Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in What's Right with Nick Wright.
Speaker 3: We will read your listener and viewer questions. Now do
Speaker 3: you are? Go ahead and read the one from shintosis.
Speaker 5: Okay, will Nick remove Luca from his top fifty list?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 5: So listen.
Speaker 3: I put Luca on the top fifty as a projection
Speaker 3: because Shaq was on the original Top fifteve though he'd
Speaker 3: only played a few years. No, I will not remove him.
Speaker 3: I did it. He obviously is not the twentieth greatest
Speaker 3: player last fifty years. It was a projection of where
Speaker 3: at least he will land this year though hurts that argument.
Speaker 3: But no, I'm not removing it. There's no revisioning, there's
Speaker 3: no revising. The list is what it is. It can
Speaker 3: evolve as things happened. But I'm not like going to
Speaker 3: retroactively act like I didn't do it. I did it.
Speaker 5: Next, Okay, al East, Yeah, I'll East.
Speaker 3: Where would Ale East? Is the person they're asking? Al
Speaker 3: East asks go out?
Speaker 5: So Alice asked, where would Steph rank on the fifty
Speaker 5: greatest of the last fifty years? If GS wins.
Speaker 3: This Golden State wins this year. All right, So I
Speaker 3: had Steph tenth on the fifty best of the last
Speaker 3: fifty years. Nine was Shack, eight was a Cheam, seven
Speaker 3: was Bird, six was Kobe if Golden State, and five
Speaker 3: was Duncan. If Golden State wins this year, I would
Speaker 3: have to put Steph. He would definitely jump Shack, he
Speaker 3: would definitely jump Team, he would jump Bird. And then
Speaker 3: the question is does he jump Kobe. Probably not yet,
Speaker 3: but would be on track to even if he doesn't
Speaker 3: win another title. So if the Golden State were to
Speaker 3: win this year, which they're not because they're going to
Speaker 3: lose to the Kings in round one, but if they
Speaker 3: were to win this year, it would be Lebron one,
Speaker 3: Kareem two, Jordan three, Magic four, Duncan five, Kobe six,
Speaker 3: Step seven. All Right, CMD Tower has something to say.
Speaker 3: Go ahead and read his DIORA.
Speaker 5: He says, you gotta have someone at the Blue.
Speaker 3: At Blue Duck, that's the company reach.
Speaker 5: Out to him. Yeah, they've got a Star Wars copyright
Speaker 5: gift to gift too.
Speaker 3: All right, let's get on that. I don't know what
Speaker 3: that means, but let's get on that. I'm with that uh.
Speaker 3: Riley Jerrold says, moving uh to Houston in the second
Speaker 3: grade is definitely justifiable to make it your hometown. So
Speaker 3: do you think Deanna gets to claim New York City
Speaker 3: she moved here before second grade.
Speaker 5: I think she will eventually.
Speaker 3: You think she'll claim New York when.
Speaker 5: She gets older? Yeah, I think she will claim it.
Speaker 3: I think you should claim Kansas City.
Speaker 5: Why would I want to claim him?
Speaker 3: It is a nice connection you and I have.
Speaker 5: Love you, but like I don't love Kansas City.
Speaker 3: That's fair enough. Dusty's out here, Dusty my TV producers
Speaker 3: out here talking trash.
Speaker 5: Dusty's always on my side. Me and Dusty here, What
Speaker 5: are you right? He said, a full sweatsuit is equal
Speaker 5: to being lazy. It's a pre matched outfit.
Speaker 3: Same with a suit. Is that being lazy? That's a
Speaker 3: pre matched outfit, same idea.
Speaker 5: Well, if you're just putting on a suit as your
Speaker 5: everyday outfit, a lot.
Speaker 3: Of people do that. Uh huh, these lawyer stockbrokers, all
Speaker 3: those people. Anyway, I disagree with all you guys.
Speaker 5: But what is a sweats.
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well toff all right. They're telling us to call
Speaker 3: for a tweet that we can see on the screen
Speaker 3: call for a tweet. I think we can do that.
Speaker 3: Uh oh, I'm sorry. Demandse's stand account referring to me
Speaker 3: as just a guy with a Twitter account's mad disrespectful.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to say that this account, no, that's
Speaker 5: not him.
Speaker 3: No, so listen, Pal, I was not disrespecting you. I
Speaker 3: was saying you are the only Demandse Stand. I was
Speaker 3: not trying to be rude. You're a very loyal viewer
Speaker 3: and I appreciate you. But I am I am very
Speaker 3: excited to see if there's gonna be a doora Stan
Speaker 3: account made. That would be exciting, all right? And then
Speaker 3: the last one, Diora, Can I answer this or not?
Speaker 5: Sure? Go ahead, I don't think there's any.
Speaker 3: Do you do you see what the question is?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 3: Okay, So l J g as what's the history of
Speaker 3: Scoot as a nickname? So Door's mom has an unbelievable
Speaker 3: talent for just creating nicknames. And no, I won't no, no, no,
Speaker 3: I won't. But like for Deanna, our youngest, she calls
Speaker 3: her Bagett, she calls her Raka like things that have
Speaker 3: really stuck. Demanse's got a nickname for when he was
Speaker 3: a baby that she still calls him. I used to
Speaker 3: call doora woop woop when she was very little. And
Speaker 3: do you remember where we were when you yelled at
Speaker 3: me about it? Because I remember it vividly.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 3: We were at sky Zone in Houston, standing in line
Speaker 3: for like a birthday party or something. Sky Zone's trampoline park.
Speaker 5: I think most people know.
Speaker 3: Okay, oh yeah, DEMONSEI tried to create a company about
Speaker 3: sky Zone sky Zone with liquor for adults only drink
Speaker 3: and jump on.
Speaker 5: The trampoline suns like dangerous.
Speaker 3: That's what I That's what I said as well. And
Speaker 3: we were sitting in line and I couldn't find Diora
Speaker 3: and I just shouted, I go whoa whoo, and she
Speaker 3: got so mad at me because all her friends were
Speaker 3: there and she didn't She didn't want me to call
Speaker 3: it anymore. She was like, I don't know, eight, nine
Speaker 3: years old or something, and was done with the nickname.
Speaker 3: So I then went, instead of whoo, started calling her scoot,
Speaker 3: and then scoot because I thought that was less embarrassing,
Speaker 3: became scooter And now that's basically the only thing I
Speaker 3: call you unless you're in trouble. I don't really have
Speaker 3: any other nicknames for you. Right? Did I give a
Speaker 3: good story history of that?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Are you proud of yourself?
Speaker 3: What do you mean? What do you mean? Why do
Speaker 3: you think I'm proud of myself?
Speaker 5: Something like that?
Speaker 3: Your things I do?

Speaker 5: proud of himself for doing something, it would like a
Speaker 5: little wiggle. I want you talking about so funny, I
