After the series win, Nikola Jokić was named Western Conference Finals MVP for his dominant performances in games 1-4.

ESPN truly just rewards the literal loudest people in the biz
Many analysts like Nick are saying they were not wrong because Jokic had not proved himself in past playoff. They forgot they are supposed to analyze this season. They are ignorant to 1. the continuous improvement of Jokic as a individual player – they think AD would shut down Jokic, 2. improvement of Nuggets.3. past playoff without Murray and Portal. They have entertainment value but no analytical value.
Why is Nick Wright, the Imbecile, given a platform for his incompetent and toxic opinions?
This malicious, manipulative and incompetent lowlife Nick Wright continues to downrate and discredit Jokic. He is building his career now on being controversial and hating on Jokic. He's an absolutely disgusting piece of sh*t.
This tool should have been fired. Guy is like spoiled little brat that entered some MMA fight after all the braking and got K.O.ed with low kick in first second.
LIke dude, your basketball knowledge is superficial, on forum you would probably be viewed as "special needs kid"
This dude Nick is a clown. Murray and Porter out and this dude still grading Joker based on a half loaded team. I dont know how that dude got that chair? Even if you went by straight analytics he'd be wrong. Smh
Worst apology ever
Can this little human look in eyes of Nikola when they win finals ?
Those are 2 separate things that Nick and other Jokic haters don’t understand. One it’s a REGULAR season award, what he does in the post season has ZERO to do with the regular season. The fact that you and others held that against him makes literally no sense. 2 there are post season awards 😂 Conference finals and Finals MVP. Sooooo what am
I missing? There isn’t one MVP for it all, there are 3 separate and you need to understand that and accept it for what it is. Talk about moving the goal post sheesh
Then he overpraise everything Luka's doing who only made the WCF once and I'm a mavs fan. Nick is a clown
I can’t believe they gave this guy a show lol
its calls he is white
The biggest gap between Jokic and Embiid is not the defensive one, it's the playmaking one
Nikola Jokić was robbed from an MVP this year. That's what Malone wanted. He earned his threepeat as MVP. They stole it from him.
Why this show aint on in the morning beyond me we all should wake up to this show not Carton. How Carton surviving I'm surprised
Thank god Nick Wright is not a doctor.
Larry Bird was a great defender. Three time all defensive. Magic on the other hand was an average defender
Nick saying every great gets this treatment but they never give Embid this treatment ? Or is he just not a great ?
Embid isn’t in the standard tho ? Hasn’t even made a conference finals and all we hear is how amazing he is and how joker shouldn’t have won 2 MVPs
Nick it’s not that you waiting for his success. It’s the fact you claim his MVPs are un just and Embid deserves it even tho he has worse post season success and tons of missed games regular season and post season. I better hear the exact same treatment to Embid all year long because “ the MVP needs to have post season success”
Nick you gotta rip Embid like you did Jokwd until he makes a final. So you better rip Embid for his whole career because with him being the best player on your team you ain’t gonna win anything post season except for round 1 against the Nets 😂
I can't wait to have someone punch Nick Wright. Pathetic as an analyst.
Wildes giving his Tarantino impression
Nick wanted Jokic to earn a regular season award by being more successful in the post-season… At least he lives up to his last name
Jokic and Murray are the best current duo in the NBA… nuggets look unstoppable
This entire video is why I stopped watching ESPN. Nick could buy a bathing suit from Target but I don't think he has enough to be tucked.
well now we got the worst MvP alltime hes 1 year older and never got past the second round
MJ never got swept
nick is such a clown. he just can't admit he has some weird hatred of jokic
Hes still a better than average defensive player what is everyone on about😂😂
Nick doesn’t judge or grade any player on the same standard let alone just mvps, dude is the most biased man in sports media
Nick is the worst analyst. Good to watch him because everything he says turns out happening the opposite. So, it helps to see who’s winning.
Denver nuggets!!!
That may make sense until they fail to mention Embiid not playing past the second round.
HE IS SOMEONES NEPHEW OR SOMETHING EVERYONE HAS BEEN REMOVED ON THE SHOW
Nobody cares what Nick says. They keep him around for the drama of his face.
I Hope someone gets to this man nick weight
Clowns
More to the point, why does Nick still have his Covid haircut?
Chris has a tell. Whenever he disagrees with Nick he takes a sip from his coffee cup.
You can't say someone isn't in your top 5 and then act as though you were simply holding an all-time great to a higher standard. According to you he wasn't at that standard to begin with.
Hot take shows are bottom of the barrel.
