Nick Wright Twitter: When the NBA analyst was slammed over terrible Golden State Warriors take
Ahead of the 2022 Western Conference Finals, NBA analyst Nick Wright made bold statements about the Golden State Warriors. Wright said that the Warriors wouldn't be able to beat the Dallas Mavericks. The main reason behind the analyst's claims was his impression of Golden State acquiring Andrew Wiggins in the 2020 offseason.
Nick Wright believed Wiggins was a "bad" player and would prevent the Warriors from ever winning a title again. Wright said:
“Andrew Wiggins is a bad basketball player. He’s owed $95 million over the next three years, starting next year. It’s unspeakable the Warriors did this. It’s over for them now. We will never see Steph in another NBA Finals again. Ever.”

With that in mind, Wright assumed that Golden State wouldn't win the 2022 Western Conference Finals. The analyst confidently called on the Mavs to win in five games.
‘Mavs in 5 and here’s why’
Bc you genuinely hate Warriors 😂 https://t.co/cc3sz6OSEB
While Wright was on the dot about the series reaching five games, the only difference was that the Warriors ultimately came out victorious. To add the cherry on top, Dub Nation ended up winning the 2022 NBA Finals.
Fans diss Nick Wright after he predicted that the Golden State Warriors would never win another NBA title
Last season, the Golden State Warriors became the 2022 NBA champions. The Warriors beat the Boston Celtics in six games and proved sports analyst Nick Wright wrong. Wright strongly believed Golden State would never have another taste of championship glory.
As a result, fans on social media immediately began calling Nick Wright out for his terrible prediction. Here's what they had to say:
"Nick wright really said Steph curry would never play in another nba finals cause we traded for Andrew Wiggins remember that the next time y’all decide to trust what he says about hoop again" - @DameDeadAF
"Nothing nick Wright ever says about the warriors is informed or well thought out it’s all coming from a place of pure hatred for Steph curry. The n***a is just constantly saying what he hopes happens and trying to pass it off as bball analysis. He is oprahsiden***a with a censor." - @DameDeadAF

Here are some more reactions:
@FOXSports @getnickwright Lmao Nick has never once been “Wright”
@FOXSports @getnickwright He's eating his words
@FOXSports @getnickwright one more game and Nick Wright should be drafting an apology form
Nick Wright criticized the GS Warriors too much before they won the 2022 NBA Finals. Wiggins' transfer, mocking Bob Myers, calling Steph overrated and calling them a bust.
Me: He should stop being a sports analyst. He is not credible.
@getnickwright @FTFonFS1 Nick in 2017: Cavs in 5
Nick in 2022: Mavs in 5
Outcome of Both: Warriors in 5
@FOXSports @getnickwright This was an absolutely terrible take then. Any real basketball fan knew their was a great acquisition when Klay returned and team was healthy. On top of that, they drafted and progressed Poole to be a potential star or legitimate 6MoY contender year after year. Nick WRONG again😂
Safe to say, the Warriors fans enjoyed roasting Nick Wright in the aftermath of their team winning the league championship.
