Welcome to the best of the week for What's Right with Nick Wright.
The best takes and moments from this week on the show.
Enjoy.
All right.
So after years of uncompetitiveness, maybe since Kobe played, the NBA might have found a solution to the All-Star game with the U.S. versus world format.
Yeah.
What did you think of the new All-Star game?
I thought it was awesome.
I really enjoyed it.
And I think you had, I think the perfect storm of just enough public criticism that the players heard and were aware of.
Wimby gets credit, throwing down the gauntlet and being like, I'm going to try.
So you guys better try too.
I credit to Wimby for that.
Ant gave him credit.
The other players responding.
cool teams in that
it wasn't just U.S. versus the world
but also the U.S. team felt like old guys, young guys.
So all three teams had the different kind of pride to play for.
The fact that it was just 12-minute games
meant you were kind of instantly getting
the intensity of a fourth quarter,
which even when the All-Star Games has been bad,
if it's been close late, guys locked in.
And so that was there the whole time.
So all of it really worked.
And here is what I will say.
Sorry, Daniel, our resident Nuggets fan,
where I think some of the criticism of the older generation of players
about letting the All-Star game down has been unfair.
Everyone just flatly accepts with no criticism whatsoever that even in this format, the one guy who couldn't be bothered to give a shit was the best player in the world.
And I like Joker.
I am not, and it seems like everybody likes Joker.
I understand I might be the wrong messenger of this because of my years back history of skepticism.
but it is an unequivocal double standard
when the previous universally accepted best player in the world,
LeBron James,
is currently getting more criticism
for not doing the dunk contest 15 years ago
than Joker is for not caring in the All-Star game
that everyone else cared in 50 hours.
hours ago. Like that is, that's not, and so it does feel like there is the, the, a pass given
to Joker and to a lesser extent, Luca, because Luke, I guess you can say is still coming off
the injury. And Joker, I know was hurt, but he's been playing and kicking ass. And he's just
never cared at the All-Star game. And right or wrong, no one has criticized him the way we
criticized the legendary American guys for not caring.
And Joker does have something of responsibility of,
you're the best player in the world.
And so despite him not caring,
the games were awesome.
They were great.
And, and I do,
I don't know how this,
if this,
how sustainable this specific format is,
but I am okay.
I didn't.
understand exactly I was going to work and I was critical of it leading into it.
But once the game started, it was good.
It worked out very well.
It worked out really well and it was fun.
Now, let me say this real quick before we get to the other stuff.
Because it's kind of silly for me, first time talking to you guys, since my appearance on Bill
Simmons pod, to not acknowledge my shockingly, and I mean it, shockingly viral takeoff.
Hey, a few years from now, what if we did white guys versus black guys?
So I am aware that that took on a life of its own.
We are, my feelings on my own take have evolved.
Okay.
For reasons that I will explain later in the show when we bring back, really a classic old what's right segment.
Nick Wright, public defender.
So I am not running from that.
I also don't want to do it right here.
We will do it later.
And we will discuss that there.
Let's get to some of the All-Star follow-ups.
Did you feel like this is the passing of the torch moment for the stars,
young stars and the stretch?
Well, I mean, it didn't, in real time, it didn't feel like that because it felt like
Kauai, who is not, I mean, who is not as old as the, you know, bronze, Steph, KD,
but he is closer to their age than the young guys.
Kauai was the star.
Right.
And then because the old guy's team didn't win, he couldn't be MVP.
But he had 31 points in quarter.
Honestly, Kauai doing all that makes Nikola Yokch look even worse.
I know Kauai, he's never been the type to not care about basketball, but I don't know, him taking it seriously and going crazy.
He took it seriously.
Now, it also was in his arena.
You know what I mean?
So that the, but the, Kauai's.
31 point quarter.
Right.
Pretty unbelievable.
And unlike some of the All-Star games in the last decade, like when AD had 50 or the other crate, when Steph shot 283s or something.
These were contested.
These were difficult shots.
These were with the other team trying to stop him with.
That was against, is that against, I can't remember if that was against Team World or against the other U.S. team.
But whoever it was, I think it was Team World.
they were
trying to
win the game
and that was a close game
down the stretch late
and Kauai was just sensational
um
uh all right next
uh what tweaks would you make to the U.S.
versus world format?
I think
I think they're
and they I don't know if I can call this
unintentional or happy accident or something
that they didn't announce
that the two U.S. team
we're going to have distinct feels to them, like the old guys, young guys.
But that's definitely what it should be.
Like if you're going to have these three different eight-person teams,
then there should be something delineating.
Right, delineating the two American teams.
So you're not always going to be able to go old, young.
I don't know, like, so maybe you do east-west sometime.
Maybe I'm not sure, but I like there being a,
you know, a theme, if you will, of, of the two different U.S. teams.
And so, listen, the NBA needed a good weekend.
The, the pod that I did last week with Bill really did, and this is credit to Bill, not me,
set the tone for a week of heavy NBA criticism about tanking
and about the major issues facing the league.
And so to have a win and to have it highly rated
and to have people care and to have the games be good
and like was a needed victory for a league that has
by its own doing
taking some
PR hits
and about to lose a bunch
of their guys
well that's the other piece
like that that does
the biggest stars
and that is the other big problem
for the league
that they don't right now
have a solve to
and they're hoping
wimby will solve it
but right
right now
the single most famous
basketball player
under the age of
35 years old
is Caitlin Clark.
Caitlin Clark is the most,
she is,
I think you disagree with me?
I honestly thought it would have been Wimby.
I don't think.
So I don't think your sisters.
No,
no Wimby.
And if they do,
they're like,
oh,
is he the really tall?
Right.
They have an opinion on Caitlin.
Clark.
Like,
and so maybe,
so maybe it,
Wimby is close,
but I think that the most famous,
the three most famous basketball players right now
are 41-year-old LeBron James
and then 37-38-year-old Stefan KD.
And so that is like Anthony Edwards,
Luca, Yokic, Yonis,
those guys have not ascended to that level.
and so, but that's a issue for the NBA for another day.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers, and guess what?
We have some big news.
What's the news, name?
Huge news.
We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts.
We're starting a trend.
But this one's extra special.
So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys?
I honestly don't remember.
I think it was on a call about what we should call it.
Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers.
This is how you guys remember it going down?
Yes.
I have a very different memory of this.
We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast,
where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.
And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas,
and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.
But thanks for remembering that, guys.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts,

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself.
I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris.
Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay.
Jenchian win.
I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted.
She's an outsider to win the French for me.
And she likes Clay.
Listen, Lina Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world.
right now and I actually can win on any surface because if she's serving, well, good luck.
Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast

it's unleashing human potential. Either way,
the podcast Superhuman documented it all,
embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds.
I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

Joey asked Nick,
if you made a club superstar for NFL players,
who would be in?
What would the rules be for it?
I think the way to do,
it would have to be one guy per position.
Yep.
And one guy per position for certain positions and one guy per position for position groups.
So it would be, so let's think about who it would be.
The quarterback would be Mahomes.
Anybody disagrees can go to hell.
Yeah.
The wide receiver.
Tough.
I think it would have to be.
who's, so
Justin Jefferson
or Puka Nicola?
No, Justin Jefferson's the answer
for me because
again, it's not
purely
just a raw rankings.
Ty does go to
the superstar
component and how long you've been
doing it. So
running back
I actually think is
easy. Like
now in this moment? Right now this
moment, but again, how long you've been doing it.
Right.
Fame.
All of it level.
Would it be Derek Henry?
That is correct.
Listen, I think Sequan's obviously unbelievable.
Christian McAfre is unbelievable.
Bejohn, Jamir Gibbs, all those guys.
But Derek Henry has been the running back.
And he continued, it's been for so long he's produced at that level.
He is of those guys the only.
guaranteed Hall of Famer.
And so Derek Henry,
I'm just going to go one offensive lineman.
And I would give that,
I think I'd probably actually give that to Lane Johnson.
He will right tackle.
And I also don't want to spend too much time debating that,
thinking about it.
That would be my gut.
For D-Line, I would do one D-T tackle, one-d-
D and so what do we have right now? We have four guys.
One D line, one D end.
So defensive end is obviously Miles.
Yeah.
With respect to Micah and Crosby, it's Miles.
D tackle,
again, there is a bit of a legacy bump here, but I'm giving the Chris Jones.
He is the only active defensive tackle who is a guaranteed
Hall of Famer. I understand he had a bit of a down year.
The whole team did.
but it's him.
Linebackers, because, you know,
edge is, you know, outside linebacker.
If you're in a three-four, it's the end.
Rotate.
Right.
And so I'm just going to do a middle linebacker.
The middle linebacker is Fred Warner.
That is, to me, in arguable.
Corner,
I think the answer is Sertan.
Okay.
He's one defensive player of the year.
I don't know.
If you have, like Christian Gonzalez is great.
There's obviously a lot of great corners.
But I think the right answer for corner is Sertan.
Safety is Kyle.
Yeah.
And so if I did it and I had the same rules of 12 guys,
that's nine.
So then the three wild bars.
No kick.
No kick returners.
No kickers.
Definitely no kickers.
Definitely no punters.
Maybe one of the wild cards would be a kicker if it was like we were in a moment where like Vinutarian is prime.
Tucker a few years ago.
Back when we talked about Justin Tucker.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it's not your bet.
So if we had wild card spots, I think Josh and Lamar have to get him.
and one last
we throw a coach in there
I guess coaches weren't an NBA
so then
I think then the last spot
would go to Micah
over
Jamar Chase any of the running backs
any of the other corners
he is a superstar
he is his
you know on a no doubt
Hall of Fame trajectory.
He was, you know, he's one of the only
non-quarterbacks in the league
that we know would be traded
for multiple first-round picks because we saw
it happen. So there you go.
I think, um,
I think we just,
I think we just nailed it.
I think we just nailed it.
All right, Damase, let's go on to the NBA.
Uh, so Pomp asked, where to Tatum,
Yokage, and SGA rank in the top 50
players in the last 50 years list?
What a great question.
And this honestly, I know I do this sometimes, but I mean it this time.
This summer, let's do an episode where we really fully give this a freshening up, so to speak.
So since I last did any tweaks, the active guys for top 50s,
of the last 50 years were obviously Bron won.
And again, if people aren't used to this list, it's Kareem to now.
So this doesn't affect bronze ranking.
But everyone else were going to say, if you were doing like their all-time ranking,
they drop at least two spots because of Russell and Wilt.
And some of them would drop three because they're also behind West.
Some would drop four because they're also behind Oscar.
Some would drop five because they're also behind Elgin or six because they're also behind Mike and or seven because they're also behind Kuzi.
I'm not going to do all that work right now.
So we will just do the top 50 of the last 50 by the previous rules.
But again, for accuracy sake, keep that in mind.
So Braun was one.
Steph was 10 right behind Shaq and Akeem.
and right ahead of Dr. J and Moses.
Durant, who's an active player, was 13.
So for the first guy on that list, Joker,
I would have him, if I were, do it right now,
he would jump ahead of,
and as much as this hurts my heart,
because I love these two players.
And one of them was the inspiration for the,
the list, he would jump ahead of Moses and Julius and be right behind Steph.
I can't put him ahead of Steph. I don't think that's fair.
I thought you were initially when you first said you apologized.
No, I can't. At least at the moment. I think...
Only one title. He's amazing. He's amazing. He's utterly amazing.
But he is right now, and I think this is fair when it comes to all-time rankings,
at the ceiling you can be at with one title.
They're like, listen,
wilt,
who's again not on the list,
but would be only as two,
dream only as two.
If he gets a second one,
then we start having a real
Yokic versus
the Steph,
shack,
dream,
bird group.
Like,
that's where the,
That's the neighborhood in which he lives.
But so he is, so he right now would be 11.
And so again, 13 was Durant, 14 was Janus.
So those guys would drop to 14, 15.
And then so here's a, it's a trick.
This is a tricky one, DeMonse.
Because, and maybe I am,
crazy on this.
It is very hard for me
to say
SGA is better than Tatum
even though I understand SGA's
better than Tatum. Does that make
sense? Pretty hard for me to say that too.
But there's no like argument
for like SGA
has won an MVP is
probably going to win another one.
SGA has better stats.
SGA
they both
you know achieved at a super high level.
SGA has a better
a resume than Tatum and has proven he can be a A-list MVP candidate in a way Tatum hasn't.
And yet I still kind of deep down feel like Tatum's better.
I think that's when it gets down to like the play style again.
Maybe that's probably just me personally.
Yep.
I probably enjoy watching Jason Tatum play basketball more than SGA.
So I agree with that.
So I had Luca 20th, but again, that was like a projection thing.
If I redid it as great as Luke is, he.
He dropped.
Chris Paul was 21.
So I'm scrolling through it.
James Harden was 25.
So SGA, if I redid it right now, would come in, God, this is crazy.
But right ahead of James Hardin.
Okay.
So he would slide in to 25, 25.
Yeah, I was going to ask, is James Harden moved at all since?
No, he's not going to move down, but he certainly hasn't helped himself.
Right.
And so for Tatum, I would slide Tatum in.
So, like, 30 is Iverson.
32 is Kauai.
Mm-hmm.
33.
I would slide Tatum in right ahead of Scotty Pippin and right behind Kauai.
Okay.
So it'd be 33, but again, we've now added people.
But that's where it would be.
So Tatum's slightly behind SGA, even though that doesn't feel right to me, but it feels like it has to be.
And Joker right outside the top 10.

All right, Damante, let's go to a little NFL.
Yesterday, the dolphins released Tyree Kill.
If you remember, they traded five picks for him years ago.
Somebody predicted what has done.
next move maybe if this were to happen.
Yes.
Let's take a listen.
A year ago, I believe Tyree Kill is going to play another football game for the Can City Chiefs.
That I'm very excited for Tyree Kill wearing a Chiefs uniform in 2026.
Maybe that's enough to get Kelsey to come back for one more year.
A little final Tyreek and Kelsey right off in the sunset together.
Yeah.
I think that's absolutely on the board.
I'm a little less.
excited now than I was then.
Understandably so?
So listen,
since those comments,
Tyreek has had more
really ugly
off-the-field allegations.
I can't, but they feel like
heavier than allegations,
lighter than, you know,
out-and-out convictions.
but there is a lot of reason to believe that he continues to be a bad actor off the field.
A lot of reason to believe that.
So that's the human element.
The football element, which is not as important, but should be acknowledged,
a normal football player is, he's suffered a catastrophic knee injury.
And there is a lot of reason to believe he will not be close to the same guy.
Especially to reheal.
Right.
Guy relies on his speed like that.
It's speed, his ability, his acceleration,
his raw naked athleticism.
With all that said,
I would imagine, and I do think he wants to come back,
and I would imagine,
the chiefs would take him back at a very, very discounted rate.
even if it's just for a year for him to see if he can be the rare wide receiver that in his 30s after a bad injury can still cash in again.
But it is not as exciting of a proposition for any reason as it once was.
and it is the that the chiefs do need to be careful on.
I'm not naive. It's pro football.
You're not going to have a team full of Walter Payton Man of the Year winners.
I get that.
But that wide receiver room can get a little.
Harry on you quick.
And I feel like I am, I am a big, what I've said before, and I have to be consistent on it is for anybody in almost any setting, I will give you just in my, again, let me back up a little bit quickly.
in order there, there's the standard to have your liberty taken away from you and to be imprisoned.
And that is beyond a reasonable doubt.
And, you know, that is the bedrock of our jurisprudence system, all of that.
That is not the standard for, you know, if people believe you did or didn't do something.
You know what I mean?
You know, gun to your head, do you think he did it or not?
That is not beyond a reasonable doubt.
That is just what you think.
So I am at this moment
I'm not talking about guys going to jail
I'm talking about what I think of
you know the people
and my general standard is
and people might say
you know it doesn't have to be your standard
it's mine
if the if you are accused
of almost anything
once
I will tend to be like
yeah I don't know
I the who knows
but the
moment you get accused a second time, I tend to believe you've done it.
And I think that's, I think that's reasonable.
I think that is, I know that that is not, it is just a, it is not a hard and fast every single
time rule, but it is, my general feeling is, I will, I will believe in your, in it,
I don't even know if it's believe in your innocence.
I won't assume you did what you're accused of if it's a one-off accusation.
But the moment it becomes multiple, particularly, and this is the key point for some guys,
if it's multiple from different parties, then I have a very hard time.
I'm like, no, you probably did that.
Right.
And again, some guys are victims of massive conspiracies.
I'm not saying, so just to be clear, this is not the standard for someone to go to jail.
This is the standard for a Nick Wright's brain.
Do I think?
Do I trust him or do I?
And so I just think, so I think that's a tricky spot for the chiefs because I don't think the chiefs don't have a lot of guys on the team who've been accused of bad stuff.
But the guys who have been play the same position.
Yeah.
And it's the position that Tyree plays and that's a tricky spot.
Would you say Tyree Kiel was less out of the limelight when he was on the chiefs?
I would say like, well, be it more.
Well, he had got in a, he had got in a lot of trouble in college, which is why he was a fifth round pick.
It's why, and what he got in trouble for in college was ugly stuff.
And so he, he did seem to, for the most part, seemed like he was on, you know, his best behavior was trying to get paid.
He was playing great.
He did, though, as a chief early, relatively early, once he become a superstar, have a really, really awful allegation.
that seem to be disproven by audio.
And so that again maybe goes against the thing I was saying.
But now there's just a lot of stuff that makes you feel like as a teammate.
I was just about the same.
It's not even the off-the-field stuff, even all in the fields.
And so it's, you know, there can be a lot of moral bargaining you do with yourself
when it comes to rooting for pro football teams.
And I,
all I've ever said is I owe the audience honesty
and people can judge me for it.
It's fine.
And this is the own,
the bargaining that I'm doing
in my own head as far as what I think is going to happen there.
All right.
Let's the, hold on.
I want to the, so the, I think,
let's do the chief's odds question.
question real quick.
The Chiefs are currently plus 1,500 to win the Super Bowl.
They're tied for seventh.
How do you think their odds would change if they got to read?
I don't think it would change at all.
What will change the Chief's odds and what will make them the fourth favorite,
it will be Seattle, the Rams Buffalo will be the top three,
and the Chiefs would jump to number four would be the report that Patrick Mahomes is going to play week one.
Right now, the Chief's odds.
are a hedge as far as the chief's odds are where they should be if Mahomes is going to have
his first start of the year in week four.
He's going to miss the first three games.
If he's going to play week one, they should be better.
If he's going to miss the first six weeks, they should be worse.
And so right now it's kind of a hedge for that.
But the Tyreek would not significantly change that at all.
All right, next.
Offins cut a handful of players.
Do you think Tua is next?
I think with Tareko being cut,
that Tua is probably not going to be cut.
Tua's contract is so tricky.
Okay.
And it's the problem for them is keeping him more guarantees best for future guarantees.
He has no trade value because of the contract.
But if you cut him,
they haven't
I don't even
it's whether you split it over two years or one
it's 98 million dead money
it's a catastrophe
and so maybe what they'd have to do is
trade
and if they trade him
it's only
only 45 million in dead money
maybe you could trade him
and a draft pick
to get someone
to take on the deal.
It's a very, very tricky
spot, but I don't think he's going to
for one way or another.
I don't think he's going to be the starter
for the Miami Dolphins next year. I don't think
they can let more guaranteed
money vest in his deal.
