- Published on Oct 1, 2023 veröffentlicht
- Jimmy Butler has really shined in the postseason, leading Nick Wright to tell Colin Cowherd that underestimating him and the Miami Heat in these NBA Playoffs has been a serious mistake. He points to Butler's stats, and explains why he's one of the top postseason players in the league. Plus, rumors are swirling that LeBron James is being recruited to the Dallas Mavericks by none other than Kyrie Irving, and in response, the Los Angeles Lakers released a statement that they have no intention of bringing on Kyrie to their roster... Nick and Colin share their thoughts on this report, and Nick tells Colin why he believes both players will remain right where they are.

I’m definitely down for a Colin & Nick show! That would be a good one
Skip and nick ?
Nick wrong and Colin always wrong two guys that are never right ! About a week ago both of these guys said that the nuggets were a super team and nuggets will be champs in 4 games and now the Miami heat is the best , tonight if nuggets win you'll see that tomorrow they are gonna change their mind
Would b good just get broussard outta here
Nick needs to replace Shanon
@brittany wilson no
"Talent is overrated. Do you know what's underrated? What works". Now that is a sentence.
That sentence was goosies galore 🔥
Bruh Colin referencing that Nick might join Undisputed 😂😂😂
I wouldn’t mind him vs Skip tbh
@Wendell's Wise Reaction na wouldn’t work. Can’t have 2 trolls in one show. Only 1 works
@Brent T believe it or not Nick Wright would be the voice of reason on a show with Skip Bayless, simply by default.
Would be the end of the show.
Need a hot blonde again.. like how herd started
So safe to say Nick is not joining Undisputed. No surprise there.
Why would he wanna do a show with Skip..? He actually likes the two guys he works with right now.
First things first became a better show than undisputed, and that’s not going to change by replacing Shannon with anyone
Miami with Riley and Spoe have the freedom to create a roster of Duncan Robinson, Kevin Love, Max Strus, Tyler Herro. Why? They can hit 3s. Most teams would want the Top 12 Athletes. But those role players on Miami that Jimmy Butler can coordinate at the 3 point lines while him and Bam can do their thing is Magic. They are like the New England Patriots with Tom Brady with all those slow White receivers who all they do is catch balls
Those slow White receivers deserve respect too. Not just Tom Brady
Not to take anything away from the blacks they make the game fun to watch but even curry is half white and klay.
@Johnny Baxter
Exactly. Wes Welker and Julian Edelman gave Tom quite a lot. In their last SB, Edelman, and not Brady, was the MVP.
Let’s go Heat! Beat it ! U guys can do it 💪💪
Something you all are missing, Jimmy may not be that super star in an 82 game season however there is something he does better than anyone in the league, he makes his teammates BETTER!!! If Jimmy wasn’t with with the Heat the undrafted players in the Heat wouldn’t be this good. Period!!
Jalen Brunson in the playoffs has proven to be a monster
JIMMY BUTLER IS A REAL SUPERSTAR
I’m wondering if Buffalo is trying to copy the Chiefs a slight bit by adding a TE that you can’t ignore freeing up Diggs to more 1v1 situations
One of few times I agree with nick. Jimmy Butler is so underrated.
Interesting to think that Harden is way better in the regular season and Butler is Way better in the playoffs….
Easy correlation. Hardens game is finesse and more reliant on fouls(a lot of foul baiting at that) and skill and less on lure grit,effort, and motor. Also players are playing harder defense in playoffs and game plans are more tight. Jimmy butlers game is effort based. Like if he played how he is in playoffs he'd be much more fatigued and injured. Like even for LeBron at this point I honestly think ideally he would only play like half the games and just coast and ramp it up towards playoff time.
Imagine if heat had prime oladipo. Then I can say they have a solid chance
Legit Question (Context is Key)...Last "3" Mins of a Big Close Playoff/Finals Game Would You Rather Have Cherokee Parks on The Floor or Lebron James?
The bit about trying to trade for LeBron & not realizing the CBA wouldn’t allow it sounds like the doing of Mark Cuban 😂
Mark Cuban isn’t stupid though
Hearing Nick praise Steph makes me pinch myself to know if I’m dreaming or not.
Nick Wright is the perfect hand off for Skip Bayless. Make it happen FS1
Nick and skip debating would be more entertaining and fun. 💯
Leaving Tatum on his list but including Booker is criminal by Nick 😂
Criminal but on brand for him
Colin's last few words of this segment regarding Nick was very telling....
at the end there colin’s talking about the report that said nick is the favourite to get the job on undisputed
Of all people, Nick is the most "he has the better player, so they're gonna win." Now he's being contradicting
Thats incorrect. You have 0 evidence or proof you just have your feelings. These casuals are unreal.
There’s a difference between better player and most talented player. Nick is talking about talent being overrated.
@Will Cozine Thats right, talent is nothing if you dont put the work, the craft and optimize your whole life around your sport/body/mental.
Mavs pretty much have to do what kyrie wants because they can’t lose him for nothing .
Just trade Beasley mo vando, for kyrie he takes a pay cut for this year and gets a bigger contract next year
Would clear the decks and retool without Irving.. he has no chemistry with Luka…. That trade was a disaster….
@Moto M I don't think Irving has chemistry with anyone. Not even himself.
Nick looking like John Wick 😂
💀💀💀
Nick picked against the Nuggets every series and refuses to admit he is wrong
Denver up 3-1 now
How is Dame’s name not mentioned once… but the national media loves saying “we always give lillard his recognition.
Him or Healthy Kawhi. Top 3 right now in Offs, Steph Joker Jimmy. Kawhi Bron KD when healthy
And if Nick does this over the past 3 yrs all of those answers change to Devin Booker. 😂
One of my favorite segments of the week, Nick Wright and Colin Cowherd. I totally enjoyed this one. I ask though, with ALL of the Jimmy Butler praise, how many Championships has Butler been a part of?
Such a simple minded view. He’s been the best player on two finals teams, which is more than all time greats like AI, Barkley and Reggie Miller. Winning in the playoffs ain’t easy, and he’s done it more than anyone the past 4 years
According to Colin's laughter, Nick Wright is the funniest man who has ever lived!
Some people can just make you laugh more than others. That's just one of life's trillions of mysteries.
It’s a fake laugh
Colin's phony laugh is indicative of his whole personality.
@Zach Albers I agree. Only you don't understand how emotional intelligence works. Sometimes people give a strong laugh to give you the credit you deserve for the comment you have made. Increasing your effort even if obviously exaggerated is never poorly taken by the speaker.
@obiwanyutuben I'm assuming this is Colin on a burner account
At the end did they insinuate that Shannon isn’t actually leaving undisputed?
Jimmy and the crew going to be lights out from 3 we’ve found our rhythm
Nick Wright the type to rebel their whole life only to become their father. In his case, Skip Bayless.
Kind of seems like FS1 is using Colin's show the past few days to like on the job interview guests for Shannon Sharpe's position as Skip's co-host when he leaves in a couple weeks.
First thing first best sports show out right now... bar none!!👍👍
Nick be having Colin rolling 😂
Ikr??!
Great Video … always like Nick !!
LeBron James will stay with the Lakers
A proper comparison for Jimmy is: Clyde Drexler, Dominique Wilkins, Kawhi, super efficient when needed- probably will never be on the level as the All time greats. IMO
Best case scenario Miami takes a 3-1 shocking series lead winning games 3 & 4...Nuggets avoid elimination and Miami closes them out making history with game 6 victory! 🎉🎉🎉 Worst case Nuggets split games 3 & 4 and it goes the full length...I still got Miami coming out of this series with the W...
So Miami has a chance to win both but Denver does not? That's probably what Lakers fans thought going back to LA...I'm pulling for Miami but this Nuggets team is no joke
@James Bohm did you read thoroughly?
@Julio Maldonado did you write thoroughly? you said best case Miami takes a 3-1 lead, worst case Nuggets split. The worst case is not a split, as we just saw
A more balanced view on Jokic than I expected from Nick.
Because you got what he wanted, he didn't win his third MVP
@Mindful Attraction 2.0 third straight mvp. If he didn’t win last year I don’t think he would be as harsh on Jokic
@MalikF15 this is the truth. His only issue has been historical context of 3 straight MVP and that he hadn't done it in the postseason yet.
he’s gotta give a more reasonable take since it’s not his show
Yes Josh Allen great talent needs to be more consistent.for the Bills ...Josh allen is a very good player,for the up and coming Jaguars ...😊
Butler may not be a top 10 player in the league, but he is a top 15!
if “talent” doesn’t matter then how can nick claim mahomes is the goat
Nick has it right again Colin. Butler will do what it takes to win. This includes diving into a defensive player, falling off balance and creating a called foul on a shot he was never going to make and getting 3 free throws to save game 1. Game 2, they won by 1 shot. So let’s not go on and on about how great they are. Denver will win it all if the refs don’t call all the flops as fouls.
Oh, please. No one gets more calls than Jokic. He pushes off constantly and rarely gets whistled. In game 1, he pushed someone down to the ground. No whistle. He also got away with hooking Duncan Robinson and pulling him to the floor. Meanwhile, the much smaller Robinson got called for merely having his arm extended while driving on Jokic.
Denver has "the most talent" and the altitude and the "best player." They're the #1 seed and were far better rested coming into this series.
The Heat were coming off a grueling 7 game series, sleeping at hotels for a straight week and then went into the altitude. Butler's ankle has been sore and his father is very sick. Caleb Martin has the flu. Herro was their leading scorer.
Denver has no room to cry about anything.
Colin saying “Buffalo and Pittsburgh can’t get the o line right” in June is him at peak pretentiousness
Colin on first things first would be hilarious
He and Wildes would be interesting
I don’t know. Colin is really good at presenting and idea, getting the ball rolling and more of a load back convo type of show. Nick’s show is a debate show. I’ve never seen Colin debate before
Can’t wait for football!!!
Me too ✋️
Pittsburgh can't get the O line right? This guy!
Let's talk about the finals, but let's also talk about LeFraud, even though he's eliminated 🤦♂️
Hi Michael Malone
Instead of blaming a business for talking about topics that bring in certain numbers, why don't you blame audiences who validate those decisions. LeBron topics draw in viewers more than the Denver Nuggets. That's not Lebron's fault or FS1. That's just reality.
Josh Allen is in a different league than trevor lawrence. not even comparable
You have it backwards, Josh is a turnover machine in the red zone. Yes, it’s mostly because Bills ask too much from him, but without Dabol he regressed.
If the devil himself called Collin up and said ive got the deal of a lifetime but it will cost your wifes life; he'd still "take the call". Bruhhhhhhhhhh, I dislike that man so much!
The Lillard disrespect is unreal
Hes never there
How so? He’s been to one conference final. Hard to say that’s what you want for a playoff run
@Jarod Rochell if Nick wright can say “look at LeBron’s teammates” we can use that same logic for Dame.
@Drew Wickman false. Dame wont leave, move or go to a better spot. All Dame cares about is money. Winning has ever been a priority for him. Typical casual making a nonsensical comparison.
@JG710 lol you could not be further off base
Both want more rings, more than anything , so it comes Rings or money. That’s keeping it real. So let wait and see which come to pass . Money 💰 or Rings
It will rain 3's on Miami. Can't wait for the crowd to explode every 3's. Denver has the worst perimeter defense too much space for the Heat. Robinson, Caleb, Struss, Lowry, Vincent, Love, Butler, Highsmith for threeeeeee.
Nick wright is the Stephen a Smith on Fox sports 😂.
No one is as obnoxious as Smith.
Butler is a killer
More praise to Denver after winning chip againts this undereted Miami team.
Because Kyrie trying to get high dollar long term contract
Healthy Kawhi in the Playoffs you want him.
Miami Dolphins are getting counting out.
Isn't Jimmy in year 12 or 13? He's in the last 2 to 3 years of his prime. Not everyone is LBJ
Jokic has been all time great in the regular season and playoffs before this year, Nick was just incredibly late to admit/know this. MJ was 24-29 in playoffs first 6 times never sniffing a finals, but was still elite in playoffs. You need best TEAM to win titles! This isn’t rocket science.
I Love This Show
This is the finals, gentlemen… And knowing how owners are and how fans are… we can almost bet that they’re gonna go six or seven games because everybody wants to make money… Of course, we will hear the commentators talking about how much better team the Nuggets are than the Heat, and we will hear for the 500th time since the playoffs began about the three guys on the Heat, who were not drafted, yada, yada yada. all talking points is all this is, something to keep the interest up for folks to watch the games… I will GUARANTEE you that if there was a 250k bonus given to each player if the series was over in 4 games, you would see different games…and then there’s those wonderful officials who have just ignored the fact that Bam has pushed,shoved,fought with Jokic’ any time he gets into the lane with NO FOULS being called on him…come on man, they call what they want ,when they want and if you don’t think they can control a game or for that matter a series, then I’m George Strait and I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona I want to sell you! Let’s see what Wednesday offers us….👍👌🤪
LMAO keep crying about the refs that let jokic smack guys in the face while they're shooting without calling any fouls on him
Oh, please. No one gets more calls than Jokic. He pushes off constantly and rarely gets whistled. In game 1, he pushed someone down to the ground. No whistle. He also got away with hooking Duncan Robinson and pulling him to the floor. Meanwhile, the much smaller Robinson got called for merely having his arm extended while driving on Jokic.
Denver has "the most talent" and the altitude and the "best player." They're the #1 seed and were far better rested coming into this series.
The Heat were coming off a grueling 7 game series, sleeping at hotels for a straight week and then went into the altitude. Butler's ankle has been sore and his father is very sick. Caleb Martin has the flu. Herro was their leading scorer.
Denver has no room to cry about anything, certainly officiating, mister George Strait.
And the Miami Heat have nine (9) undrafted players - more than any other NBA team. Five (5) are contributing in these Finals. You can attempt to minimize that until you're blue in the face. When one other team in the history of the NBA does it, then one could attempt to argue that it's insignificant. Not until.
And to both gentlemen…I don’t care who wins these games,I would just like to see consistency in the game officiating and not always favoring whomever is playing at home…and that along with $2.00 each will get us all a cup of coffee….opinions are exactly what they are,opinions…good luck with yours…
Talent is not what wins
I want steph no where near a game 7 lol. Least clutch player in history
The dude averages 33 a game in game 7s and is 3 and 1 in his last 4 .but don't let facts get in the way of your blind hatred lol
If Nick wants to be like Lebron in his career, he needs to join Skip Bayless. If not, his career is going to be like Chris Bosh
L
Nick Wright to replace Shannon
I haven't underrated the Heat. I'm just watching with NO HORSE in the race. Joker BETTER win this chip though. Triple Doubles, being prematurely vaulted among the greatest 7 footers of all time and being 'EFFICIENT' BETTER be accompanied with a championship.
O a “star” ⭐️ ☕️ take that Kevin wilds lmfao 🤣
They’re not underrated at all. Their run is improbable. Denver all around is the most talent team in this series. This heat team has been here before almost all of them. They’ve defeated very good teams this season and now they’ve arrived. Will they win, no but no one is underrating them.
I mean.. if they do end up winning it looks like you are underrating them lol. I think anyone saying they don’t have a chance is underrating them
Where did this narrative that Steph is some god in the 4th quarter of a playoff game. I’d literally take 4 guys over him on his own team.
PSA to the universe: Please do not wear a pattern on your tie when you're already wearing a pattern on your suit.
“Let’s switch gears” still remember when Lavar got cancelled for that
i think it was other comments directed at Molly and Christine. At least he still has BBB...... oppps
@Kruppt808 😂
throw jayson tatum in there too
Miami is not there by luck. They beat Bucks , Nicks and Boston. How about that.
Lebron not finishing in LA
Nick Wrong back at it! Lol
Only two guys analyzing in real time.
Jimmy is todays Isiah Tomas
Not KD though Nick
What ..more play off wins!!!!!.....
Butler gets motivated by being under rated
Why you gotta drag pittsburgh into this lol
Jimmy is trying to smoke cubans and play dominoes during the season, so he can ball out in the playoffs. I don't think he cares about seed
The jags are not on the bills level
id rather join speak than undisputed with skip...
This video has not aged well. lmao
Talent is OVERRATED! big facts!
Two words: DENVER NUGGETS 💪🏽
So tell us more nicky.
They still talk about Lebron like he's a top 5 guy lol he's barely top 10. Not even best player on his own team
Miami tmr night and in 6 ♨️😤
Miami tomorrow in 6
@Bryan Potter Shoot I'm so excited I forgot the day lol, fixed it haha
Devon booker? Nah this can’t be real life.
