Nick Wright opens up about the history of ‘First Things First’ on Fox Sports, from its start with Cris Carter, to its near cancelation, to now being nominated for its first Emmy with Nick hosting alongside Chris Broussard and Kevin Wildes. Next, Nick reacts to Victor Wembanyama stating that he should be the NBA MVP following the San Antonio Spurs' 136-111 win over the Miami Heat and breaks down where Wemby should stand among the other top candidates. Later, Nick breaks down whether we have become numb to Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic's dominance, and why it is absurd that people aren't taking Luka more seriously as an MVP threat. #Volume
