Nick Wright goes off on people who don’t have LeBron as the best ‘old guy’ in the NBA: “Do we still think all the old guys are better than LeBron? — I don’t know, I live in New York City and saw Steph yesterday at the Met Gala. Kevin Durant, I didn’t see him but I know he’s hanging out somewhere ruining a locker room via Twitter. James Harden is going 3/9 in a game 7 and LeBron is throwing God damn alley oops to his son in the same game he hit a series clinching 3. And I have to see he’s not a top 20 players in the league?” (Via Bill Simmons podcast)

Nick Wright says LeBron is still a top 10 player in the postseason: "He'll always be good. He'll never not be good... Prime Chris Paul. That's what 41 year old year 23 LeBron looks like. A version of a player that was called 'the point god.' He proved last night for a lot of people he still without any age agenda added to it, a top 10 guy you would want for the postseason. For the postseason, there are not 10 guys in the league that I would rather have running the show than LeBron"

DeMarcus Cousins says he doesn’t like the way LeBron James was treated LA: “And you know we in this era now that you can’t really, you know speak on his behalf or it’s considered glazing or we paid by Klutch all this goofy sh*t but for the most part, you know, I grow up in the era of watching Bron like create the blueprint for the next guys coming up. So, I think he’s a legend in this game hands down. I just, I don’t know we kind of getting to a point where you know when it comes to our legends in the game, I don’t think they going out gracefully the way they should. I mean, from Melo to how CP was handled. We kind of watching how the Lakers just kind of act like Bron ain’t LeBron, like, you know what I mean? So, Kevin Durant, like, you know? So, I want him to go whenever he’s going to be appreciated and where he’s going to get the flowers he deserves.” (Via Road Trippin’ Show)

Reporter: “You’re in another All Star game with guys like Steph Curry, Giannis, and KD, what does it mean for you guys to still be playing at this level to still be in an All Star game?” LeBron: “Well Giannis is a lot different, and he’s a lot younger than us, he can’t be in that bucket just yet. It will be me Steph and KD for sure. Maybe Kawhi but he’s still a little bit younger than us.”

Rich Paul believes the Lakers/LeBron are at their best when LeBron is on the ball more after last nights win: “Who I think LeBron should be on this Lakers team, is LeBron. He should be himself. Obviously it works. He’s at his best when he’s the maestro…. I think sometimes you can lean on someone’s age, looking for a reason for you to lessen their capabilities. But if their capabilities are still there, then you have to disregard the age.” (Via Game Over)

Nick Wright on the debate if LeBron James tenure in LA was a success: “LeBron the record is 8 years with the Lakers, 7 trips to the playoffs. 2 seasons where they made a conference finals and 1 championship. And you’re going to have folks today earnestly genuinely try to argue that LeBron Lakers tenure was a failure. To which I would simply say or ask and don’t even add I’m not even asking you to add any age related qualifiers to it. Has Giannis 13 year Bucks career been a failure? Because in those 13 years, Giannis has 1 trip to the finals, 1 championship, and 1 trip to another conference finals and that’s the exact same thing as Bron in his 8 with the Lakers.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Nick Wright with a message for anybody who questions LeBron’s commitment to the black community after his Memphis comments: “What LeBron has done for more than 20 years in the public eye, is embrace his community as well or better than any all time, elite, legendary athlete of all time. He had his circle of guys, Rich, Maverick, and Randy. The moment he got put on he was in consultation with those 3 guys. From his community, from his world, determined what their specific skill sets were and how he could help position them to get to the tops of their fields as quickly as possible. Made them his teammates. Those guys all happen to be black guys. He build schools in Akron for an overwhelming black community…. Maybe not at every turn or opportunity but certainly the majority of the super hot A list celebrities, spoken up. Not only of political causes, but black political causes. For folks to twist what he said, like Kevin Durant and a dozen NBA guys have said, ‘we don’t like that Hyatt in Memphis’ as LeBron don’t like black peoples, is f*cking embarrassing!” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)
