    Colin Cowherd Podcast - Nick Wright: Lakers SOLD With $10B Valuation! Caitlin Clark Is BETTER Than Advertised, OKC’s Relentless Defense, What’s Missing From NBA Broadcasts

    Colin’s joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First” on FS1! They start with the major breaking news that the Buss family has sold the Los Angeles Lakers at a $10 billion dollar valuation, and why it’s a massive positive for the Lakers to no longer be a mom & pop operation (3:00). They compare and rank the biggest brands in American sports (13:00), argue that star players under contract can do as much for a valuation as the brand’s legacy and explain why team valuations have skyrocketed in recent years (19:00). They pivot to Caitlin Clark and debate whether the media is UNDERRATING her superstardom and how great she will become on the court (28:15). They break down OKC’s relentless defense, why it manages to be so effective in the absence of a truly dominant rim protector and why it would smother the greatest teams from earlier decades (38:00).   They discuss the lack of on-air chemistry between the broadcasters on the ESPN NBA broadcasts despite their high level of individual talent, and Colin lament the lack of highly produced features and packages on the broadcasts that make games feel like big events (55:00). Colin argues that when it comes to making live events feel huge, nobody does it better than UFC and Dana White (1:16:00). Finally, they talk about how things are going for Colin in Chicago and Colin argues that the traffic is worse in Chicago than L.A. but Nick offers him some MAJOR pushback (1:20:00). They compare and contrast west coast versus east coast politics & culture and highlight which parts appeal to them (1:26:00).  (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
