"Winning is overrated." - NY Knicks
Why win when your still making money losing
"It's the losers who are the true winners"
🤣🤣
signing someone because it looks good on paper is overrated lol
Knicks ain’t even building a young roster the right way. They need to take some notes from the Atlanta Hawks!
Lmao gave up porzingis for a chance at Zion , KD and Kyrie and got Julius randle 😭😭😭😭🤣
TheButler DidIT the Zion with no hops 😂😂😂
Kd and Kyrie I don't don't going nowhere for the rest of they careers frfr
Sad bro
With hops
V Drxppy and Taj Gibson lol
Yes everyone was waiting for Stephen a smith reaction lol
Me that's for sure
Stephen L. Smith
I HAVEEE A VIDEO WITH PROOF KAWHIII WILL STAY IN TORONTOOOO
@Master Exploder Stfu
The video we’ve all been waiting for ngl
The thumbnail says it all. ESPN knows what time it is lol
👍👍
Peter Battaglia the realest comment
Yep
i have never waited for anything
Stephen A might as well become a sixers fan. lmao
Codename Crescent Centaur Or a Nets fan
He kinda is a sixers fan already
@Codename Crescent Centaur He is a Sixers fan.
Lol, not now. They just traded jimmy butler
Jimmy is gone...
To SAS credits, he was right in predicting KD and Kyrie coming to NY...
warriors fans all year long: kd aint leaving stop lying media tearing this team apart and meddling... smith: hey he did I was right admit it!
@The Hawk The Knicks wanted a healthy KD. Not one that is coming off a serious injury. That is a huge difference. There is a very good chance that he will not be the same player once he is back to being active as most players aren't. He is also not expected to make a full recovery until late 2020 at the very earliest. Would not be surprised if we don't see him suited up & ready to go until some point in 2021. The risk was way too high & no one can really blame the Knicks for not offering the max.
I mean they had nothing better to do with their money. They needed a player like KD even if they had to wait 1 year. Dolan better sell the knicks already because all he’s being doing is leading them to failure
He also spread rumar KD n KWAHI Will team up
@Rusty James The Knicks was KD's top destination. It was clear that he met with them first or the story of them not offering him the max would of never came out. Kyrie was the player that no one was sure of. A healthy KD was a lock for the Knicks.
The warm-up act before SAS and Max tomorrow.
They were concerned about KD but are willing to give DeMarcus the max?
🤣🤣💀
makeouthill 🤷🏿♂️ 😂 damn feel bad for Knicks fans.
makeouthill not the max, just a high one year offer....
Just because they were willing to sign Cousins doesn’t mean they were going to offer him the max. 9 out of 10 they probably would’ve offered him 1 year 15 million or something with the hopes that he’ll be healthy.
@@warrenl1991 boogie's not going to NY for $15m lol. Dude sacrificed $20m+ for a ring (that he didn't get).
Stephen A. carries this network more than Larry Bird carried the Indiana State Sycamores to the 1979 NCAA championship game.
More than Lebron with the trash Cavs of 2017-2018
You can't name one other player on that Indiana State team, ESPN has a host of others that make it what it is, Smith puts in work, but it's not like when Bird carried the Sycamores.
🤣🤦🏽♂️💯
More like Jordan and the bulls
@@markjordan5478 No
Thank God the Knicks exist. That way the bulls can go under the radar and secretly be the mediocre trash that the Knicks are as well.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 true
@Jesus Samurai Talk to me Tabernacle, go Bulls
Imagine tanking for Zion
@@andrewbristow2817 feels bad man. At least Knicks fans understand they are watching mediocrity. Meanwhile my fellow bulls fans sellout tickets to watch decent good role players play 82 games. And they actually believe they are franchise changing championship level players lol.
Now I can stop hearing about the Suns and their shit draft 😁😁😁
Max Kellerman boutta have a day
He gonna roast the fck outta SAS and Molly lmao
And then Molly will accuse Max of sexual harassment for putting that heat on her.
That Guy I’ll put the heat on her anytime
"We are getting Zion, KD and Kyrie" - boi did everyone predict this outcome xD
Field day*
Traded KP for cap space
Tanked for Zion
Got 3rd pick instead of 1st
Kyrie and Durant reject knicks to join their neighbor in the Nets
Give almost a max to Julius Randle
Knicks season in a nutshell 😂
Worst franchise of all time
@@eldio2124 and that was only in one season
Slick Ric nah suns
Wasn’t bad for randle
Tank for Zion?
You mean Tank for Nothing
I think stephen As hairline moved back even more after today...RIP to Stephen A n all Knicks fans
Hail-Mary J it finna do a James harden step back
I went from a funeral to a party!!! JUMPED TO BK!!!!! Don't care what anyone thinks. NYK......stink
@@andrewbristow2817 👏👏well done. Good choice my friend lol
@@MrE_ I feel revived......and lighter. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Idk how many times iv heard this joke today
SAS bout to bless us with more gifs and memes than we can handle lol
@3:06 Ramona with the “what the hell are you doing Brian” nudge 💀💀
He was sleeping
Knicks expectations : KD, Kyrie, Zion
Knicks reality : Julius Randle, Taj Gibson
Gerard Guevarra don’t leave out RJ Barrett lmao
Lol and they both play the same position
SAS bouta put hands on knicks management .🤚🏾
I’ll beat his ass
@@Dreamerland101 you couldnt hurt a fly
SAS would hopscotch on yo ass....
@@Dreamerland101 whoaaa! Stand back everyone we got a bad boy over here💀😂
Got Julius Randal now lol
Just reading the header alone from that tweet is hilarious!
"I just finished crying." 🤣
When he said: ”but both of them went 20 minutes away“ i lost it😂😂☠️
SAS look like he's attending a funeral. First Take will be amazing tomorrow
Bro 😂😂😂
Facts man!!!
Yeah if Molly isn't there
I feel like this is just the trailer of what will happen tomorrow on First Take 😂😂😂😂😂
That shit gonna be good😂😂.
Once again Max was right🤷🏾♂️ said this would happen months ago
KD will be an 18ppg defensive liability from now on. Knicks knew that and low balled him knowing he'd reject it and let them off the hook. Warriors only offered KD a max out of obligation and guilt. They're relieved af he didn't take it. If being a tall shooter with skills is all that's needed then Carmelo would still be killing after he lost a step. Knicks decision was unpopular to casuals but very good
I'm not built to lead a team like Kawhi makes no sense
I'm not built to lead a team like Kawhi whose burner account is this?
Exillens 2.0 You keep telling yourself that lmaoo
Exillens 2.0 he gonna be a what ?😂😂😂😂KD even coming back 70 percent can average 25 he don’t rely on Athleticism he rely on his pure skill and height and he’s too good to let this put him down his recovery will be strenuous his will power will get him there
I was a knick fan
Now I'm a Brooklyn fan
Tbh most dont consider anyone that team hops to be true fans. The nets will actually still be a middling playoff team until 2 years from now when KD MAY be 80%
Until then the Knicks actually have a shot of being better than that squad by next season. Mitch>allen, RJ>nets
normally I would say bandwagon but with kd out all year and kyrie a headcase I will allow this cause the knicks have been so trash for 25 years now going into 2020 and riley left in 95 and ever since then they been trash ...lets be real..the 99 and 00 runs were flukes...especially 99...if alan houston misses that shot vs miami in game 5 at the end the knicks fire jeff and most likely move some players to rebuild after a late 70's 80's and entire 90's filled with losing and they got into the playoffs on the last day...that team was a finals team in a lockout season which is why no one brings it up and it got hammered and it was lucky to get there as a 8th seed...the larry johnson play obviously helped them...the knicks fans for 25 years lets that magical 2 month carpet ride trick them into thinking this franchise knew what it was doing..smdh...it was the worst thing for them cause without that finals run their joke of a team for 25 years would really get exposed...since ewing melo has been their best player...smdh...dont bring up alan houston/amare
Lmao New York will never care about the Nets. LA will never care about the Clippers.
But thats still the same place
Time for Dolan to sell the team. Smh
Complete moron, Dolan is an excellent owner.
ladistar your joking right
If only New York wasn’t New York 😭
Still makes me laugh a year later 😂
I've never clicked so fast in an espn video
They missed with LeBron and Wade now Kyrie and KD. That's insane like how do you repeat this kinda history??? Lol
Boy I’ve been waiting to here what he was gonna say
Reanimate7 yea it’s knicks having an injured KD and kyrie is much better than what they’ve had, these past years, although who knows KD, based on the history of this injury, most likely won’t come back as the player before the injury
Stephen A hasnt had this much energy since his skip bayless days😂😂
Stephen A face had me 🤣🤣🤣
Who been waiting for this lmao
Been waiting for this since this morning. Not disappointed
Who remembers Stephen A’s rant when he said “ BROOKLYN ARE COMING”
I just like how Stephen A Smith acts when he is angry. Lol!
As a bulls fan and Chicago resident I feel bad about my hometown team and sometimes I get sad, but then I remember the Knicks are still a team
I was waiting on this ✊🏾✊🏾😂😂💯
Why the hell would u not offer the max to the best player in the league!?!? 🤦🏾♂️
Brandon 98 he was the best but achillies injury broke him
@@flwz2 oh
I'm a Spurs fan, when we lost Kawhi I started complaining to my friend, who is a Knicks fan. He immediately told me "you're not getting any sympathy from me"
"I immediately picked up the phone and called the Knicks and said oh hellllllllllllll no!" 😂 I can't
I've been waiting for this video😂😂😂
The GSW and Nets were willing to offer KD the full max.Blame James Dolan for this foolishness
You say that until he comes back and is a shell and then whose the dumbass
the warriors didnt offer him the max without a sign and trade option....he didnt trust them anyways..they had to lie and say they wanted to offer him that cause it looks bad if they dont and they caused his injury and they didnt want to pay a record 400 million for a team that wont win a title next year ...its a win win..he didnt want to leave but they left him no choice I bet...the owner doesnt love him like steph and klay
Foolishness to give a max 4 year deal where the first year he's not playing and there's no guarantee he'll be 100% when he does come back.
The Knicks are lying though. They absolutely offered him the max, and they said this just to cover things up and make it less embarrassing. “We didn’t want him anyway! We absolutely traded KP for cap space that became these trash power forwards!”
@@varius456 uh oh
Stephen a’s face at 0:04 🤣🤣🤣
Been waiting for this all day
I’ve been waiting for this all day
Stephen A just swallowed an entire bottle of Tylenol

Fuck u white boy
3:16 Brian just chillin

This is the appetizer. What until Max Kellerman and Stephen A. Smith get on the air together. That will be the main course.
Knicks fans told me they were going to get Zion, KD, & Kyrie.
What happened Knicks fans?😂😂😂😂
Xplicit1k they got Julius Randle, RJ, and Boogie Cousins
Randle > KP
Me>You
JmanDatN you still have James Dolan

stephen a smith to my cowboys- "what can go wrong, will go wrong"
knicks- "hold my beer"
"LMAO"
Basically!!!
*New York New York, big city of dreams but everything in New York ain't always what it seems...*
I was waiting for this video😂😂😂
The music at the beginning is perfect 😭😭😭
*SAS FACE* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Knicks are cursed bruh 😂 all those top agents all that cap room all that hype
Knicks aren't curse. The owner is an idiot, and the fans are suckers for giving to the idiot their money.
I'm just saying nah cursed you should look at their history
They’ll have a infinite bench at least
Not curse just bad owner and worst president in league
Honestly their franchise needs a rebranding I mean who wants to play for the lame ass knicks. It's such a lame ass name and logo. Nets is way cooler and from a cool ass city Brooklyn. Very excited to see what KD/Kyrie duo they will dominate the east together with deandre Jordan.
who noticed how Ramona tapped Brian to look up from playing with his phone? lmao!
Stephen a reactions keeping me watching espn
Max is very smart to drop them fools. The Knicks are sorry as hell. But its the owner that sucks.
Fans dont drop teams. If thats the case whats even the point of fandom you can just root for the 1 seed every year like a piece of trash
Being a fan is more than just blindly supporting a team name. Truly being a fan is caring about the organization, it’s success and other fans as well. Being bandwagon is lame as fuck but being a blind follower is just as bad though in a different way. If you truly are a fan you CARE about the decisions a team makes, the success that you root for becoming a reality, and the pride you can hold in that fandom. And when that team you’re such a loyal fan of shits on you over and over and over then there’s not a damn thing wrong with finding something else you can actually support proudly.
SKO Show I agreed with you fully until you said that there’s nothing wrong with supporting a different team. You’re basically saying that if my team sucks for a long time I can switch teams.
@this is my name. Sko show said “blindly supporting a team”. And yeah if the front is as dumb as the knicks I would definitely support another team
Sebastian You are not a true fan. If you were a true fan you would realize how sucky it would be to switch to a new team after supporting one for so many years.
I swear. The Knicks don't deserve a single good fkn thing. Worst front office in the league smfh 🤦♂️
Sorry they didnt do the same future killing move theyve been doing the last 50yrs
Always a damaged goods max
JmanDatN you’ve got problems bro
The bulls
we want more!
the people in the background laughing out loud. Poor SAS. lmao.
Knicks can offer me the max and I’ll give them 20 points a game and a losing season 👀
haha right lol
Be honest you havent been picked up since pre-k
JmanDatN I’m about to be a college basketball player. C’mon now. Always been the captain. Don’t get picked I pick. 👀💀🤫

Just gonna prepare myself and turn down the volume to 1 so i dont wake the fam
Mikel Best 🤣 Exactly
I love Rachel's smile 😍
I’ve been waiting for Stephen!!!
He gon cry in the car 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Knicks should trade the whole team, fire the coach and give 5 fans max contracts.
Wow, neither funny nor clever lol
Smith,Barrett,Randle,Mitchell,Knox....nice young players but damn....From KD,Kyrie,Zion to this
Rj > Zion
trier?..frank?....no love?...trier is okay...frank is young...
They should've gotten Kemba Walker. A good solid point guard and the Knicks might be alright.
The team is too young. This was one of the best free agencies in NBA history and you have that much cap space and can't land an allstar top agent I mean that's just pathetic and like Stephen said you lost 2 of them to a team 20 minutes away what a joke I'd get rid of my Knicks jersey if I was a fan.
@jake plesser rj still>zion
What I've been waiting for 😂
Lol Max thinking, "told ya so. Never trust the Knicks!!" 😂😂
Expectation: Zion,KD and Kyrie
Reality: RJ Barrett, Julius Randle and Taj Gibson
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🔷🔶
Kyrie is a toxic player, KD won't play next season and there's no guarantee Zion is better than RJ.
Huge signing by the knicks of Julius randle lol! Is this really the best the Knicks could do after 2+ years of tanking.
@@varius456 oof
Lol paying Julius almost a Max. Knicks how you sleep at night.
Yes love seeing Steven A like this

Been waiting for this one lool
Ny Jets : we the worst team in new York
Ny Knicks: hold my beer
The Giants have won in recent memory, and their future is somewhat good right now. When has that ever been the case for the Knicks?
The Jets would like to have a word with that.
Knicks fans would have rather a hobbled KD then no KD at all. But, why am I surprised, it's Knicks after all 50 years from now they'll still be rebuilding.
The Knicks may have dodged a big bullet.
“oh hell no!” XD
Ramona I saw you elbow Jonah hill 🤣😂 while he was texting on camera 🎥

*Stephen A. 2010 :* "I was just on the phone with Lebron, Bosh , D. Wade and em' last night..."
*Stephen A. 2019 :* " Sources told me Durant and Kyrie....."
what are you implying?
@@loungekiller
Back in 2010, 2011 Stephen A. Would openly say..he had just talked to D. Wade or Lebron and give this impression of how cool he was with that Heats team personally. He wanted people to know this when he was a BIG Lebron guy. Now....its like none of the players talk to him and he just has 'sources'...
C S completely irrelevant comment LMAO
why would it matter if he talks to the players?( there is no proof that he doesn’t) He is an analyst there is always conflict of interest.
If a journalist let's ppl know who his sources are, they are no longer HIS sources. They become everybody's or nobody's.
This made my day
He said !!!
Stephen A. got that Casket fresh makeup on, lol...
The knicks need to throw the whole organization away cause there willing to give cousins a max but not kd they just so slow😂😂🤦🏽♂️
False but i admire your charm
I’ll go back in time now
Why does my boy SAS look like he just got back from a funeral? 😂
