Nick Wright Claps Back At Reggie Miller After Throwing Shade At LeBron James

May 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nick Wright has taken issue with Reggie Miller’s remarks about LeBron James during a recent game commentary. Miller, a former NBA player turned commentator, sparked a heated debate during the Nuggets-Timberwolves Game 4 on TNT. While discussing the game and the performance of Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, Miller’s comments took a turn toward LeBron James. In a clip aired during the first quarter of the playoff match, Edwards took responsibility for the Timberwolves’ loss in Game 3. Miller commended Edwards for his maturity, but his subsequent remarks about LeBron James stirred controversy.

Reggie said during the broadcast, “There are certain players that have veteran status that are on people’s Mt. Rushmore that are quick to deflect and blame.” He didn’t name names, but it’s easy to see he was taking a swipe at LeBron James. The comments divided fans on the subject. Nick Wright has been waiting all weekend to unload on Miller for his remarks. The Fox Sports analyst called out Reggie today, and he did not hold back.

Nick Wright Calls Out Reggie Miller

Fans weren’t unaffected by Miller’s comment, and many quickly weighed in on social media to express their opinions. Reactions were mixed, with some praising Miller’s audacity and others denouncing him as a bigot. Now Nick Wright is firing back at the disrespect. Wright first called Reggie Miller “owning MSG,” which is complete fiction, citing his winning percentage and wins against the Knicks. He said Reggie and his friends have made up a narrative about his career that simply was never true. He then turns his eyes to his comments against LeBron.

Wright then implies Reggie didn’t even have the courage to name names and urges other sports personalities to ask. He said the comments were unfair and cowardly. He says if Reiggie ever gets pressed about who he was talking about, he would probably fold. Nick Wright is an entertaining voice on sports media and a known LeBron defender. He brings up a lot of points about what is ultimately a case of really hating for no reason. Will Reggie Miller stand on business and admit he threw shade at Lebron? Ultimately, the answer is probably no.

Chris Broussard Uses Ableist Slur While Discussing James Harden Trade

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Chris Broussard is a controversial figure in the world of sports talk television. Although he may not be akin to the likes of Skip Bayless, he is someone who has been called out by athletes. For instance, back in 2019, he was embroiled in a massive beef with the likes of Kevin Durant. It was one of those feuds that had some questioning just how credentialed Broussard truly was. Furthermore, it was another instance in which KD was using his “trigger fingers.”

Since that time, Broussard has made a nice living for himself on First Things First. Overall, this is a show that also features Kevin Wildes and Nick Wright. The three are considered to be the best trio in sports talk television right now. Unfortunately, the trio is now at risk of being broken up thanks to a faux pas by Broussard today. In the clip down below, you can see the three discussing the James Harden trade. After Wright makes a point, Broussard asks if he thinks James Harden is “r*******.”

Chris Broussard Made A Huge Error

Of course, this is an ableist slur that can’t really be used anymore. As soon as you say it, you know you will have to apologize. Broussard was told not to say that and instead, he said, “developmentally disabled.” Later in the segment, he claimed that his first cousin who recently passed away was developmentally disabled and that he meant no harm. It was all a very strange sequence of events, and he is currently being dragged on social media because of it. Only time will tell whether or not FS1 fires him.

With this latest segment in mind, let us know what you think should happen to Broussard, in the comments below. Does he deserve to be fired? Should he be suspended? Or should he be free to come back seeing as it was all a mistake? Let us know your take on this, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the sports world. We will always be sure to keep you informed.

Skip Bayless Refuses To Work With This FS1 Analyst

August 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Skip Bayless is easily one of the biggest names in the sports analyst world. Although he may not be respected by everyone, there is no doubt that he has made a large impact in his career. He has thoroughly pissed a lot of people off, however, that has never stopped him from doing his job. Overall, Bayless is best known for his time on First Take and Undisputed. It was on these shows that he showcased his anti-LeBron James agenda. The latter is set to return on August 28th after a brief hiatus caused by the departure of Shannon Sharpe.

Skip Bayless is now going to be working alongside Richard Sherman, which will make for fascinating television. Moreover, every single Friday, he will be sitting alongside Lil Wayne. The return of this show is bringing forth lots of anticipation, and there is no doubt that sparks are going to fly. However, a new report is showcasing just how much control Bayless wields over at FS1. According to Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports, there is at least one personality he had no interest in working with.

Skip Bayless Has Rules

Skip Bayless reportedly refuses to work with Nick Wright, per @MMcCarthyREV

“‘Skip doesn’t want to work with Nick Wright,’ answered the source. ‘Skip doesn’t want to work with anybody who will make him look bad. And Nick would disembowel him on the air.’” pic.twitter.com/vMY8reSxXF

That person is none other than Nick Wright of FS1’s First Thing’s First. While Wright has his haters, he is a pretty persuasive orator. In the report, it was revealed that Bayless feels threatened by Nick Wright and thinks the guy would wash him in a debate. “Skip doesn’t want to work with Nick Wright,” the source claims. “Skip doesn’t want to work with anybody who will make him look bad. And Nick would disembowel him on the air.”

This is a very interesting report and it speaks to the dynamics of FS1. However, Nick Wright and Chris Broussard are perfect right where they are, and there is no reason to mess with that winning formula. As for Undisputed, it should be interesting to see how the show progresses from here on out. Let us know what you think of this latest report, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

Cam’ron Reacts To Being Mentioned On “First Things First”

June 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Cam’ron’s sports podcast has quickly garnered the attention of many. Whether it be from his jokes involving the latest drama with Zion Williamson. Or his wild comparison of Scottie Pippen to O.J. Simpson, sports fans are listening. Although the show likes to have a little fun, Cam’ron and Mase are educated in the world of sports. Including knowing some NBA players personally. Which is why it should be no surprise to hear them discussing the major storylines in the league.

However, it now seems the co-host of ‘It Is What It Is‘ is having a little fun at the big network’s expense. On a recent episode of ‘First Things First‘ Nick Wright and Chris Broussard debate the addition of Chris Paul to the Golden State Warriors. Paul was shipped out of Phoenix for Washington star Bradley Beal. While Paul’s first stop was with the Wizards, the veteran guard ultimately ended up in Golden State. Broussard and Wright were discussing what Paul’s addition would do to the morale of the team.

Cam’ron Takes Fun Jab At Sports Talk Show

On his official Instagram account, Cam’ron shared a clip of the segment involving Wright and Broussard’s discussion. When Wright mentioned what I heard on Cam’ron’s show about the team chemistry of the Warriors, Broussard laughed it off. Cam’ron wrote this in the caption of his post, “Yo @chrisbroussard68 what’s so funny? U laughing but then agree with what we said. U know these players are my friends right? @getnickwright seems to know. If y’all need us up there just holla. We’ll give you a couple inside scoops…MAYBE. Lol. Just messing wit ya bro. All love.”

It seems as if Cam’ron is having a little fun with the show’s hosts. However, at the same time, the music icon is looking for respect for his own show. Giving credit where it s due in the sports world can be hard to come by. However, Cam’ron and Mase have created a fun environment for sports talk and obviously have a large following to go along with it. So, getting to the main topic at hand, will Chris Paul gel with the Warriors? Let us know in the comment section. For the latest news in sports, keep it right here with HNHH.
