Nick Wright on what he thinks is the nightmare scenario for the 65-game rule: “So, that Wemby and Joker are not eligible. Luka doesn’t win his appeal. Cade and ANT are not eligible. And in that scenario you could argue that the six best seasons this year 5 of... the 6 are not eligible, for anything. Expect By the way, you only have to play 58 games to be the statistically champ. So like, Luka if his appeal isn’t granted he’s going to win the scoring title and not be on the All-NBA team. And Joker if something was to happen to him tomorrow night and be knocked out of that game early and not play the next game would win the rebounds and assists championship and not be on the All-NBA team. So you would have the scoring, rebounding, assists champ Wemby going to be the blocks champ right? It’s just I don’t know it’s pretty ridiculous.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)show more

Nick Wright makes the BEST case on why LeBron in Miami is the perfect fit: “The best option, and I really disagree with Simmons on this, is Miami. Miami is the only spot where if they make the finals, and be up against Joker, Wemby, SGA, Luka, he would not be being asked ‘hey man, you gotta match what that in his prime superstar is presenting.’ That would be Giannis’ job. As good as JB and Maxey are, it would fall on him. As good as Mitchell is, it would fall on him. In Miami that’d fall on Giannis. One of the 20 greatest players ever who has something to prove. Miami last year had the 13 offense and 13 defense. Adding Giannis and LeBron immediately gives them the opportunity to be a top 6 offense and defense… LeBron on this team with Wiggins, Mitchell, Adebayo, Giannis, be able to spend all of his energy on the offensive side of the ball.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Nick Wright says it is incumbent upon Nikola Jokić to remain best player in the NBA, he has to play like it the rest of this series: “Because you don’t have to win the championship to be the best player in the league. You don’t even have to make the finals every year to be the best player in the league. But if you in the three years post winning the championship, your postseason results are up 3-2 on Minnesota, get annihilated in game 6, then blow a 20 point game 7 home lead in round 2. That’s how your title defense ends. And then following year it’s a valiant effort in round 2, but you get blown out of the water in a game 7 to go home in round 2 to the eventual champs. Then the following year, you are huge round 1 favorites against the team that beat you two years prior and they send you home in upset fashion. That strangle hold you had on best player alive not only loosens, it might be gone entirely.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Nick Wright says his confidence level on Jalen Brunson winning the game in the 4th, was about as high it’s been for any player this decade: “I was not more confident, not Giannis championship run, not Joker in his championship run and other great playoff run, not Ant on any of his runs to the conference finals, not Shai, not Tatum or Brown, not Steph the year the Warriors won the title. There has not been a guy that going into a close or tied 4th quarter in the playoffs, I felt as confident as I did last night that Brunson and he wasn’t playing well would come through. Since Bron in 2020.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Nick Wright says the Spurs lost the championship on Wednesday night: “LeBron James is not walking through that door. They are not coming back from down 3-1. They are to me about as dead as a team that was down 3-0. And part of that is because I do not think they are better than the Knicks, I know they aren’t more clutch or better at executing down the stretch than the Knicks. And there is no lead the Spurs can get out to where the Knicks in game 5 where the Knicks will be nervous or the Spurs will be comfortable.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Nick Wright thinks LeBron on the Heat would be interesting: “I think the Heat would be fun, I think the Heat would be interesting. It’s a team where the starting lineup makes sense and then it gets very shaky the moment after that. Jovic has regressed a bit. Portis is past his prime. THJ has bounced around the league on minimums. Now you would have Spo, and Giannis. But Giannis is not the most durable guy in the world. You would wonder if that team would have enough shooting.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

If you think about it LeBron James wants to win like Bryant does, they are cashing (Kobe’s) greatness. (Kobe) is Machiavellian, (win) by any means necessary.” Mike Breen: “They were asking Odom about Kobe and his 8+ assists in the last six games, Odom said “if Kobe wanted to be the best point guard in the NBA, concentrate on distributing and not scoring, he would be the best point guard in the NBA.” Mark Jackson: “I agree he has no flaws, but that’s not going to allow his team to be as efficient or good as they will be (if he concentrated on scoring).

Nick Wright says he wishes the Inside the NBA crew actually enjoyed basketball 👀 “It might be the greatest sports show ever. With that said, I wish it felt like they enjoyed basketball more. Before the Lakers Nuggets game, Chuck saying ‘I hope the Lakers lose’ because he was angry talk shows would take the Lakers seriously. If they’re the 3 seed in the west are people allowed to take them a little serious? Then after the game they win and Austin making that unbelievable play and Luka game winner, and Shaq said ‘good teams don’t need that’ like what are we doing? You see more in the NBA of the guys saying their era was better. You don’t see Terry Bradshaw and Howie Long on Fox NFL pre game being like ‘none of these guys could cut it in the 70s or 80s!” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Nick Wright says he don’t think Wemby was spooked by the moment, it’s something more concerning he’s exhausted: “Victor Wembanyama has been running on a quarter tank since the double overtime game. And that was 7 games ago. What that and this is the tax of and I’ve been banging this drum, I know I’m right. Him going 49 minutes when headed into these playoffs he had I think only gone above 40 twice in his career, and never above 43.

Tracy McGrady predicts Wembanyama will sweep the awards next season and lead the Spurs to a Championship: “So if I look at the NBA right now.. I would put my money on the San Antonio Spurs presently constructed. Because of the disappointment I think that happened to them this year, because of Wemby’s performance in the Finals, I’m sure he’s not happy with the way he played, so that’s going to motivate him in the offseason to even kick it up another notch. I’m sure he’s going to come back bigger and stronger. I’m sure he’s hearing where he needs to operate for him to be the most effective for his team. So all this stuff is coming into play to build this creative player that’s going to come back stronger. He’s going to win Defensive Player of the Year. He’s gonna win MVP. He’s gonna win the in-season Tournament MVP. He’s going to sweep. So for me, I think because he’s going to be motivated and they had a big let down and disappointment this year, I’m going San Antonio Spurs to be right back in that position and to win a championship." #GoSpursGo #PorVida

Giannis was asked about the 65-game rule for regular-season awards: "I'll be honest with you. Through 13 years of being in the league I think I've played 65 games every year. I'm still going to try. I think I'm still going to play 65 games, but it's hard. If you want to be a really good player, help your team get deep in the playoffs, and then come back at it and play 65 games again. I've been All-NBA the last 9 years in a row— 7 times first team. It's hard to be consistent. Just putting that rule there, it doesn't give you a break. The margin of error is hard, like you get one injury and you're off the race. I might not make it. Jokic might not make it. LeBron's not going to make it. Wemby might not make it. "I was all for it because it could benefit me at first but as I get older I'm like 'ah take it off, take it off', but these are the rules and you just gotta play by the rules. Who's going to be available, just Shai? So it's up in the air."
