Nick WrightThe Chiefs will beat the Eagles 34-24 in Super Bowl 59
I am leaning towards 34 24. Okay. Leaning. Okay... but that's, you know, write that in pencil. No, not in pen.
Nick WrightI was '99 percent correct' about predicting a top-two pick Heisman winner making the Super Bowl
If I said in June of 2028 and asteroid is gonna hit Peru... And then in June of 2028 and asteroid hit Uruguay. Am I more right or than the people who said it would never happen? If in August I say for the first time in NFL history, a rookie's going to be playing to go to the Super Bowl and make the Super Bowl and that rookie is gonna be a Heisman Trophy winner. And that rookie's gonna be a top two pick. And that rookie's going to have a connection to Cliff Kingsbury. And then this all happens [with Jayden Daniels] and everyone's like, oh, you're an idiot. You said Caleb Williams was gonna make the Super Bowl. And I'm like, I basically called it.
Nick WrightJosh Allen will eventually win a Super Bowl
I think [Josh Allen] will win a Super Bowl eventually, but we're, we're, the, somebody is gonna be left without a chair... I would worry about for Josh is if, because I think he'll beat the Chiefs in the playoffs one time. He's too good.
Nick WrightLamar Jackson is the 'Aaron Judge' of the NFL
Lamar, everybody gets so mad at me Lamar's Aaron Judge... which is on a day in, day out basis in the regular season, you're like, is this the best player in the sport or certainly in the very, you know, top two or three and then come the playoffs. It's like, man, every time... every regular season it's Lamar's the best player in the league. And every Playoffs it's like, you know why they lost, they put the ball in Lamar's hands too much.
Nick WrightPatrick Mahomes is the best player ever, but Tom Brady is still the Greatest of All Time
I already think [Mahomes] is the best player ever, but he's not the greatest quarterback of all time... Brady gets to be called the Goat. I think that if they pull off the three-peat you can, and someone wants to say he's now the greatest of all time. It's at least an allowed opinion... if they don't do the Threepeat, he probably has to get to six [Super Bowls].
Nick WrightKevin Durant's social media sensitivity shows he is not at peace with his move to the Warriors
If people bring up him [Kevin Durant] going to the Warriors, he clearly is not at peace with that decision, even though it has worked out better than even he could have expected... It is because you're Kevin Durant, you're not supposed to respond to trolls in your mentions.
Nick WrightLosing the 2011 Finals to the Mavericks was ultimately good for LeBron James's legacy
The best thing that happened to LeBron, even though the way they lost was not great, the best thing that happened to LeBron was that Miami team losing to Dallas. Because it validated those other two titles. It made it seem hard... The fact that they had real adversity made the rest of the championships feel validated to the public.
Nick WrightLeBron James is objectively the greatest basketball player ever
Wouldn't change the fact that he's [LeBron James] objectively and obviously the greatest basketball player ever.
Nick WrightThe 2018-19 Lakers will be a 4 or 5 seed in the Western Conference
The Lakers shouldn't be very good this year, right? Yeah, I think probably like the four or five seed. Yeah, they'll finish somewhere around there.
Nick WrightThe Warriors would have been a better team if they never added Kevin Durant
The concern I had with the Warriors... they kept their top three players, but other than that, they made major moves. They got rid of rim protection... for a guy that I thought was redundant... throughout the regular season, it was looking correct. Now, in the playoffs, it looks idiotic, and I got to own that.
Nick WrightDraymond Green is a poor man's LeBron James
Draymond is like a poor man's LeBron. Because Draymond is... a guy that can guard all five spots. A guy that can bring the ball up the court.
Nick WrightLeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all time
I think LeBron's the greatest player ever. You disagree with that, and we can have that discussion as well if you'd like.
