“You don’t join a 73 win team and talk about you’re the best player”
Chuck is pure truth 😂😂
😄🤣
💯
☝🏿🖤😔💯
Liquidxan
Ring chasing Chuck is just hating on KD for being a MVP on a excellent team.
Chuck the best player need not be the mvp like Iggy or Rodman. Match ups are important, staring in your role and versatility is important in these playoff Games. 😳
Chuck probably tried to be a bid star and take on to much responsibility instead of sharing it with teams to win. Thus, he's ringless.
@@bowsershark word
Kenny Smith defending all the bus riders out there. Talking about "some bus riders gave instructions." 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 fr
He was giving instructions to Hakeem on where the water cooler is 🥱😩😂
Chuck was talking about stars who join a winning team. Not about role players on a winning team
@@seanrojas Oh man 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
They may have
Kenny was sweating when Chuck was talking about the bus riders😂
Kenny wasnt a superstar, he was a contributor...it was nothing like kd jumping to GS
Chuck put him in his place, Kenny is a bus rider on the show as well.
Duc Le • Right; Talking about you can give directions😂
Kenny is even a BUS RIDER on this show 😂
Chuck was talking about stars who join a winning team. Not about role players on a winning team
"Dont tell me you're a great player if they can slow you down" Chuck and Shaq legends for reason
That statement is tattoo worthy
that litterally makes no sense, going against great players the other teams always say "I know we can't completely shut them down we just want to slow them down" shaq was slowed down but hack a shaq, brady was slowed down but a 4 man pass rush twice vs giants, etc...😐😐😐
@@MillzSzn It was meant that a great player may be stop for 1 game or small number of games, but in a series or in long term a great player cant be stop
Both chick.and Shaq have been slowed down before
The statement is grossly misunderstood, what that means is literally the first line of the text. "Don't tell me you're good if", what that implies is that you shouldn't flaunt about being good when you're underperforming or better yet making excuses that you were slowed down. All time greats like them admit they were slowed down, Kenny even said that Chuck will be criticized for not winning yet Chuck knows it doesn't matter, denying KD wasn't is just soft. Chucks point is that bus drivers are at fault when the bus crashes, not the passenger. Similarly the Bus driver is responsible when they wins, if KD was a bus driver in GS then he should also be a Bus driver in Boston yet he didn't arrive at the station. What that tells you is that he wasn't a bus driver at all in GS, GS had their own bus which he rid on. The point of his statements was that he wasn't a good bus driver as a good bus driver doesn't make excuses under losses, why do you think they respect Giannis despite losing multiple times before? Because he's a good bus driver and admits fault when he loses. Giannis isn't soft, Steph isn't soft, KD just isn't the best bus driver if he doesnt take Ls.
Shaq immediately looking at Kenny when Chuck talking about bus riders lol
That was awesome to see
Shaq was a bus rider in 2006 when he joined Wade's team.
@@itshiho
Sure
Naaa Shaq was dominating during the regular season and 1st 2 playoff series. Then DWADE BECAME DWADE FROM THEN ON!
@@itshiho as far as I remember, you was by far the 2 ND best player. He sacrificed his numbers for championship in the finals. What you on?
This is why Dirk's ring is god tier.
After all those years that everyone calling him soft and won't win anything. He just continued driving the bus until he reached his destination..
Most incredible playoff run I've seen in my life. Dirk was on a mission that year.
Honestly Dirk was never in those conversations being real , he was injured a few Seasons , Nash and Finley leaving made him step up but at that time he was battling some real Power Fowards , and they mostly got the better of Dirk on some to Most nights but nobody ever really had him in those convos until around 2009-2010 …. Stop that , everybody always respected Dirk and his game , he just didn’t get the praises like A Tim Duncan or KG until he won his own .
@@TheBTranz he was in those conversations after 06 .. been a fan of the Mavs since 03.. back then they definitely call him soft..the respect ur saying, he got that for his legendary run in 2011. before that, media and fans outside Dallas always saying he's soft and won't win any ship..specially when they lost to the 8th seed Warriors... i think any long time Mavs fan can attest to what i am saying ..
@@chrissennfelder7249 AND he had a flu game and was legit sick af while beating the most hated superteam at the time too
last sentence was poetry fitting of dirk's accomplishment
Chuck: all these guys talking about championship rings. Hey y'all bus riders!
Kenny: *emotional damage*
😂I was gonna say but Kenny don't walk around saying he's a champion but he actually does lol
Charles couldn't win one as the driver or as the rider. He was always looking for a new teams rather than to stick it out. Demanded a trade from Philly. Demanded a trade from Phoenix. He was always looking for that super team back when stars usually stuck it out with their teams. He was even publicly threatening the Rockets that he would leave there if they didn't sign Scottie Pippen who had just won the championship the prior season. I always find it funny when Charles goes at guys who build super teams. Charles was trying to do that his whole career. He just failed at it.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣 kenny was hurt
Not a kenny fan but atleast Kenny's bus arrived to the destination twice 😂
This has aged phenomenally. Steph has always been the bus driver for the Golden State Warriors
The stats says no, KD still had more fmvps than him 🤣😭
@@ND-OPS that's not the only thing that matters. Steph has 4 championships and led the warriors through these years, both regular seasons and playoffs. KD was just there for two years.
This year was the only year Steph curry was the bus driver 😂😂 they just don't hand the final mvps out to anyone
@@318m5 Iguodala = bus driver 😂😂😂😂
@@ND-OPS easiest finals mvps ever. Steph's latest finals mvp weighs more than Kd's two combined.
“Giving directions” Kenny was looking for anything to justify himself riding the bus😂😂
Meaning doing all the yapping and talking only, but not actually executing, and acting like annoying back seat driver
Kenny was giving water to the rest of the team just like he's the waterboy on the tnt crew
@@thomasscott1570 While funny, Kenny was playing like 30-35 minutes a game during both of the rockets championship runs... and putting up good numbers for a point guard back then. He wasn't a scrub like shaq and chuck try to make him seem sometimes.
I was thinking the same thing, lol
@@barehands9614 I don't think they were going that far. It's just everybody know Hakeem was the one driving that bus. Kenny might have been the navigator with a map, but that team was Dream or nightmare.
You know it's a good playoff series/season when Shaq & Chuck agree on something back-to-back like Shaq's rings
Right...best playoffs I seen in a long time!
🤣🤣🤣 sounds like something Shaq would say
@@acedup00 Seethe
And Kenny rings too
@@speakerz74 when did I say he was a hater . The comment sounds like something Shaq would say . Shaq has this running gag where he brings up his rings at times where it’s completely irrelevant and the comment just reminded me of that
Chuck was owning Kenny in this take😂😂 Championship Chuck!!🤣🤣🤣
The only thing Kenny was right about was KD being the best player on those Warriors teams. If you don’t think that, you’re delusional.
YET 'CHUCK' IS RING-LESS..
@@KombatRacer he wasnt curry and klay were the best players on those teams, they went 73-9 before kd, kd just went along for the ride

Charles spitting facts though:
"He got MVP. He wasn't the best player."
"Igoudala won MVP. He wasn't the best player."
Stop that!
On today’s episode of stop that.
the facts are there for ppl to see they just dont want to hear it. Chuck lets them know he dont care about their narrative
Kd was most definitely the best player on that warriors, there's no world where steph being better than kd, I'm not talking accomplishment, I'm speaking as the individual player...Kd was the best player
@@hybrid1339no lol
This why Chuck is so highly regarded despite not winning a ring. He drove that bus, didn't ride on it.
He was a legend. Took the Bulls to 6 games. Won MVP. Didn't team up with other legends until they were all old. But I think he's really just mad that so many ppl let KD off the hook for getting cheap rings in GS while Chuck still gets roasted for having no rings. KD should be roasted more than Chuck.
@@John6-40 KD def got cheap rings but so did Lebron. You can't only talk about KD when Lebron was the one who started it. Lebron went to an already stacked Miami team. Then went to an already stacked Cavs team. Then went to the Lakers knowing Anthony Davis was going to come eventually.
He tried to later on 🤣 What’s your point?
@@Name-jw4sj 🧢
@@Name-jw4sj You’re a clown. How was Miami stacked before he got there? Wasn’t Boston the team with the Big 3 and Rondo? And Kawhi was the 4th best player in San Antonio? What did the Cavs win before he went back? All they had was Kyrie, and never made one playoff appearance. And the Lakers were irrelevant. Do you know what stacked even means?! Were Shaq and Kobe stacked in LA? What about Jordan and Pippen? So how is LeBron playing winning with AD different? You’re a CLOWN. Finish high school first.
What's great about Shaq and Chuck arguing 99% of the time, is that when they DO agree you know it's indisputable and can tell how much they respect eachothers legacy
There is no shame in playing all out giving it 100% and losing the championship to anyone or any team

Big facts!
You can be a champion but you can't be considered top of the top level great as a bus rider.
that's two in a row chuck!!
This MF couldn't do it,and tried to be a bus rider with Hakeem,Drexler,and Pippen. Stop it
That's kinda dumb isn't it. You saying Klay or Dramond weren't champions because Curry drove the bus??? Igadola wasn't a champion. This isn't Boxing. It's a team sport.
“Iguodala wasn’t the best player he got MVP stop it” Chuck came with all the smoke today💀
🤣🤣
I still wish more people would mention how big an impact the subtraction of KD from their Western Conference opponents made the playoffs much easier for the Warriors.
Before the Warriors had to compete with the Thunder and the Spurs who were both incredibly great teams in 2016. In 2017 there was no competition.
KD didn't make the Warriors better, but not having to face KD in the playoffs made things easy for the Warriors. They would have won those 2 championships if they had simply paid KD to go play in China or something...
KD was still the Warriors best player when he got MVP

And KD didn’t while he was in OKC? Speak all the facts
Yeah lets forget what KD did for the Thunder and all the years he put in. Chuck also left to another team after failing to get a ring there and failed at the other stops. KD is infinitely more successful than Chuck was ever in the league and we dont like to talk about that.

It's crazy that when you really look back at that golden state run with KD, you realize that it was Steph getting doubled and drawing most of the attention. That allowed KD to just unleash, especially with Klay out there s a major threat too. This is why it's ridiculous to hear KD talk about how hard it is to play with stars when it literally allowed him to play with the least resistance he's ever faced.
Steph was and still is the best player on that team
until kd wins a ring without steph, steph is above kd on the all-time list, and if steph wins another one and his long overdue fmvp this year, it's over.

Kenny won the FIBA World Championship in 1986 against the Soviet Union with a healthy and young Arvidas Sabonis.. and Kenny was riding the Bus. Most Basketball fans do not remember, but I do.
Yeah. But he was on the bus in Houston. Chuck was on a bike.
Basketball is a team game. Big shot rob and kenny both spread the court with their high-percentage shot selection. Both players solid defense not getting into foul trouble like charles. Charles barkley got bashed by scottie pippen for hitting players instead of playing defense, taking too many low percentage shots, nor treating the game like a team game. Different mentality and the bus driver analogy is not accurate for basketball. Kenny's right, Horry is the forgotten hall of famer because too many people think the superstar gospel is truth. Making flashy low percentage shots and still losing isn't the team game that basketball is to most people. I would take Smith/Horry over any team charles barkley was on.
@@tokdo4960 Horry and Elie, then Kenny

Someone like KD just literally hopped on the bus when it was already fully stocked, kicked his shoes off and got comfortable and popped open a soda

@BallersKingdom
A “role player” typically comes off the bench, though. Starters are never referred to as such.
But, I get it: piling on Kenny Smith online is a popular thing for the sheep.
Chuck was talking about stars who join a winning team. Not about role players on a winning team.
Charles Barkley scored 44 points and 24 rebounds on Game 7 against Shawn Kemp and the Sonics in the Western Conference Finals to lift the Suns into the Finals against the Bulls. Barkley was the MVP and played like and MVP when needed. So Chuck is 100% knows what he's talking about as the bus driver. Chuck is real funny and goofs around but when he's having a serious basketball talk, he's ON POINT. There's a reason that he's not only a hall of famer but he was arguably been named the best player in that '92 dream team Olympics (if you have to pick one).
If not for Michael Jordan (who Barkley admitted to playing in the Finals so well he actually told his daughter "he's actually the first player that might be better than me") and the Championship Bulls, I believe that Barkley would have one ring.
Also, Barkley had 43 points (on 72% FG shooting) and 15 rebounds on a Game 5 win against the same Sonics in the WCF that year.
He KNOWS how to drives the bus. Here's how he describes it:
ruclips.net/video/bSJQrCfiLao/видео.html
If I'm not mistaken, that was the '93 finals where the Suns lost the final game against Chicago 98-99. Barkley drove the bus that far. One score away from holding a trophy. I definitely buy what he was saying here.
@@dbsti3006 It was not the final game. It was game 6 of that Finals. Yes the Suns lost that game 99-98 but that's because Paxson hit a 3 to win it. If the Suns had won that game the series is tied 3-3 and they have to beat Jordan in a game 7.

Kenny shouldn't be offended, he cleary had a supporting roll on those Hakeem led rocket teams. Nobody expected him to be or viewed Kenny as the leader.
I always respect 🙌 the True Super Stars like Patrick Ewing Allen Iverson Charles Barkley Dominique Wilkins Karl Malone. The guys that stayed True and go ring chasing in their primes. Im not talking about their last 2 years when they were old. Those guys have more respect than guys who bus ride to championships. Because they built something and it took the greatest players to beat them
Nobody ever confused Kenny for an alpha, tho.
For sure Kenny never was on the predicament that KD is in.
He never was confused for a bus driver.
That's not true
Man, I love this show. It makes basketball easy for anyone to understand. Hearing their analysis has actually made me enjoy the game more & look at it with a lot more appreciation for consistency and defense.
You're not a casual anymore 👍
It’s a beautiful game in my opinion. Well, it used to be mostly.
Same, I honestly got into watching games more because of these guys

Chuck is right about KD. He's a bus rider 👍.
For a second there, I thought Chuck was gonna look at Kenny and tell him he was a bus rider too 😂 😂 😂
Didn’t have to…Kenny knew!😊

You can never rule out anything when it's Chuck. He could literally say Kenny you knew you were a bus rider will you stop it.

Kenny: Hey man I was a wheel on the bus at least
It's been over a month and I'm still coming back to this. This is like an epic rant that will be talked about for a decade.
Still holds up, it was perfection from Charles
Kenny definitely was a backseat bus rider, Chuck hurt his feelings 😂
Slightly disagree. Kenny Smith was a key part of those two championship teams in Houston. He was not the bus rider but he was definitely helping to keep the bus in order. He knocked down some clutch 3s (42% regular season; 44% in the playoffs) and had some big games during those championship runs.
@@don8668 he was by no means an important roll in those championships. He averaged 6.3 points and 3.5 assists in the finals for 94-95
So important that he got benched for a rookie during 4th quarter play for the most part of those runs. He did have that one big game against Shaquille’s magic. Game 1. Hit 7 3’s and the most important one was to tie the game. I’ll will give him that. That and Anderson missing 4 straight free throws demoralized magic’s swag. After that magic never recovered
@@don8668 Let's be honest. You could of traded Kenny with just about ANY other player in his position, at that time, and that Houston Rockets team was still winning those rings, LOL!
I don’t think that’s what Barkley meant by “bus rider”. Kenny didn’t join a good team who was already winning rings, then claimed he was the best.
There’s no reason for Kenny to take offense. There is one “bus driver” per team (if that). Not everyone can be it.
Chuck just stays spitting facts…when people talk about him being silly or dumb I hope they never underestimate the fact he’s a basketball genius
Winning league MVP during MJ's prime is enough to solidify Chuck's greatness.
@@darksideon 💯
Chuck is a smart dude but I don’t understand this logic. Trae took a bad l today let’s not overlook that, but to me it’s ridiculous to say that you are not a “star” after having one bad series is ridiculous. I mean Kd and kyrie together are losing 0-3 and Trae has 1 win without an elite co-star. I mean Trae young has more playoff series wins than luka and more points than assists than anyone in the league this year, and Zion when he’s healthy chunk considered a “star”
People don’t even realize he was bullying people in the NBA while only being 6’4.
@@darksideon Jordan got robbed 😂😂😂
"I'm so sick of you guys making excuses for these dudes‼️"
GET EM CHUCK‼️‼️
Love him or hate him, Chuck speaks the truth. "you don't
join a 73 win team and talk your the best player"
Let's remember the Warriors were Champion before Durant got there and they broke records also. Durant is a luxury for a team not a necessity like the Splash bros are to the Warriors.
Chuck owned this segment!!!!! All truth spoken 👏 🙌
“On todays episode of Stop That ! “
Shaq loves when Barkley is on one 🤣🤣
That some funny shyt. Shaq face was hilarious 😂
Shaq's face when Kenny started to talk, he was ready to pounce 😂 he was thinking "easy fella, stay in your lane..."
Sometimes Kenny seems to forget he was a role player who hit a couple big shots, not some head honcho on any team who knows what that’s like.
One of the most legendary and honest sentences ever uttered on this show.
"Two in a row Chuck"
And then of course Kenny immediately defends the riders.
So basically Shaq and Chuck have an inside joke that Kenny's a bus rider
@@abeade9910 I was thinking shaq was talking about his first two rings but that makes more sense
Who ever thought KD was driver? 😂 He chased the bus down to get on it! 🤣 🤡
Nah to be fair that bus took a detour and picked him up.
😂
@@weiyu114 aight... But it didn't come to a complete stop! 🤣
@@lilmagicatl The Warriors bus crashed after the 2016 finals and the bus driver and his henchmen went crying to KD to join their bus so KD could be a co-bus driver with Steph because Steph could not handle driving the bus alone.

Kenny look so hurt 😂😂💀💀
Shaq: 2 in a row Chuck 😂
Finally someone said it. Curry was the best player. Still is. Players and coaches know it. That's why Curry was game planned for and not Durant. Those were Durants most efficient years.
Curry was not better than Durant. Curry is my favorite player but when it matters the most, he plays good but not great. That's why he has not won a finals MVP. I see guys like Jokic, Giannis, Durant and Lebron dominating the game putting up triple doubles or near triple doubles and being efficient while Curry puts up the scoring numbers on 40% shooting.
Yet how many of those finals MVP's went to Curry?
Giannis better than KD a better leader more driven with no drama.
People only talk about curry's offense. Yes he's great but he's a huge liability of defense. Now that both KD and curry are older, I would even more take KD over curry. It's not even a contest
Who got KD good looks every possesion, Steph Curry and his gravity. Steph made Andrew Wiggins an all-star, and Kevin Durant a superstar.
Love Shaq pointing to Chuck - two in a row!
Charles Barkley was on FIRE! Great points! Even Shaq could do nothing but agree with him!
nah, shaq was pointing at kenny and said "they got two in a row, chuck". the big fella remembers the agony of defeat handed to him by bus riding kenny's rockets

This just in. Kevin "the bus rider" Durant came to Phoenix Suns to form a superteam. 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 Unlimited Bus Pass.
KD, Booker, CP3, Ayton and they still couldn’t get it done.
And just got swept in the 1st round
Charles lost to Michael Jordan. There’s no shame in that. He’s spitting facts
The early-mid 2000s, 90s and some older eras were really competitive. Almost to no superstars ever bothered to think on switching teams primarily to earn cheap rings. In earlier Inside the NBA clips, Chuck and Shaq never wore any Air Jordan sneakers because of pride and competition, unlike this generation of players.
He lost to everybody he is a loser
@@hoodiepen facts that’s era was different, today’s game is tough too but chuck died on that Phoenix suns hill and took all the glory and blame like a real superstar does he’s about as close you can get to a champion without being one

Chuck drove the bus but kept getting lost. You don't get credit for that.
Kenny took that bus riders comment personal lol
Of course
The truth hurts
@@theetruth8626 Yep, he went to speak up because he felt he had to, but really didn't have a defense for it...because he WAS a bus rider.

Chuck and Shaq’s analyses keep proving why they were PERFECT for these jobs. Some guys can play very well but couldn’t tell you why. These two really dissect the game from the inside and outside point of views. They joke around a lot, but they can get serious and break down a play with surgical precision. Shaq and Chuck both can articulate perfectly why a play didn’t go down; why a team came out on top; why the coach’s style of leadership is important. They weren’t just playing ball all those years. They were studying play strategy; business strategy ; interpersonal strategy; professional AND personal. When they talk serious, I listen. When they joke around I laugh. Both their moms should be very proud.
I like this…
Well said!
Surgical precision? 😆 Chuck and Shaq are dumb as they come. The fact that you and many others respect their game analysis illustrates the failure of our education system.
dude shaq has like the wildest most absurd takes about the game on a regular basis
@@peterpan3022 like?
Realest thing Chuck has ever said on this show. Respect, old man! ✊🏽
I agree with Chuck you can't join a 73-9 team and walk around saying you're a legend
only problem is although durant has had a tough time in this series he didnt join a 73 win team; this is one of those things people repeat until it becomes "the truth" when it's really not
8 of the rotation players from the 73 win team left the yr durant joined; and they never came CLOSE to winning 70 games WITH durant
@@futuretimetraveller8677 is that you KD on a burner account?
@@futuretimetraveller8677 Warriors losing Bogut, Barnes, Speights, Ezeli to get Durant and Javale McGee definitely finessed the rest of the league.
@@futuretimetraveller8677 they broke the team up for him and yet kept their 8 main guys. The team was 95 % the same as the 73 win team, the reason they never won close to 70 is because they knew regular season didn’t matter anymore.
KD was a legend before he joined the warriors? He was definitely a top 30-35 player back when he was in okc
Chuck absolutely on 🔥 in this clip and Shaq is smart enough to know it while he's loving every bit of Chuck's performance. Great clip 💯. One of a kind chuckster!

Man when chuck first mentioned it I legit yelled out " he talking about you Kenny!!"

Back of the bus at that
In all fairness, Kenny was sensitive. But he was not a Bus driver in the first place, because he didn't sign up to be driver. Didn't act and get paid like one...
respect to Barkley this has aged well. Who is here after Suns got swept. haha
Haha the curse of KD the bus rider continues

Bus riders giving directions. That's hilarious. Kenny was getting salty there.

“Iggy got mvp he wasn’t best player”

If Chuck followed the formula of today back when he played, he'd have many rings. The man carried a whole city for the longest time.

Chuck is absolutely right, a hall of fame "bus driver ", you will drive your team to the finals, win or lose , and you were practically the the reason you got there.
Kenny feelings got hurt when chuck said if you ain’t driving the bus 😂😂
The truth hurts
Charles hit the nail on the head. When all of the pressure is on you, it is a lot different. Those Warriors teams belonged to Steph.
KD knew that GS is Curry team so he left to the Nets so he can run his own team but realize he was in the same position he was in OKC. Brooklyn needs KD to play a perfect game and depend on his scoring to win games. Kyrie dribbles the ball for 20 seconds before getting trap and dissing it out hoping to get bailed out by teammates just standing around. KD resort back to his ISO but gets double team right away, he's not the same player ever since the injury.
Curry has yet to win any since KD left. Not counting the first championship which was a freebie.
@@PX02 Still went to the Finals twice before KD got there. What has KD won without Steph is the real question
@@PX02 KD is not winning anything either lol and got swept hahaha
KD had 3 HOF players on his team who were all in their PRIME. His championships and FMVP’s are an accomplishment, no doubt, but those rings will never hold the same value as other superstar players’ rings like Giannis, who did it the right way and stuck out in a small market franchise without teaming up with superstar caliber players. Giannis is already above KD all-time in my list.
Then you can say the same thing about Lebron joining Wade and the Heat who had already won a chip before he got there...
Yah how much i love KD in GSW his legacy was being demoted.
@@jamesrobinson1557 dumbest comment i've seen in a while. Miami won that ring in 06, lebron got there in 2011, between that time the heat weren't anywhere near championship contention. Before KD joined the warriors, they won a ring and were seconds away from going back-to-back.
@@RickyTanTriads dumbest comment ive seen in a while. The heat aqcuirred bosh who was a multi all star and was in his prime while having dwayne wade who just came off a 30 ppg season seems like superteam to me

Imagine being a “specialist” in basketball (Kenny) and not being able know that curry was clearly the best player on the warriors when snake jumped on his bus. SMH 🤦🏻♂️
Kenny just a bus rider. Hakeem driving his bus AND giving directions.
@JACCE B. ok I agree. But we cannot argue that Kenny smith wasn’t a good player.
