FS1's Nick Wright has made a career for himself by dropping scorching hot takes with no remorse. However, during a recent appearance on The Bill Simmons Podcast, the polarizing pundit felt compelled to apologize for a brutal one he never even publicly made about OKC Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
While talking about the 27-year-old with Simmons, Wright went on record saying that if one had asked him three years ago whether he personally believed he would ever be the best player in the league, he would have said, "f*ck out of here, no!"
He would make his previous stance sound even more absurd by saying that, at best, he would have said Gilgeous-Alexander could be considered the seventh-best player in the NBA.
