Ryan Hollin’s take about Harden deserving MVP over Giannis was not even a hot take. Despite running isolations almost every play, Harden literally carried the injury-riddled Rockets to one of the best records and best offenses in the league. Dude averaged 36 ppg, and broke several records, he was without a doubt the most “valuable” player to his team’s success.

They’re all trolling. This is how they retain viewership. Who wants to watch a bunch of people who have never played basketball have level headed takes and respect each other’s opinions?
Max always ends up having to say all that dumb stuff because first take is a "debate show." Wouldn't be entertaining if they agreed all the time. But actually trying to come up with factual evidence for that dumb stuff is a talent 🤣
His take on himself being the best player is real. You gotta believe your own hype before anyone else can, I respect the mindset, but I doubt anyone is buying that😂😂
The Ryan Hollins take was actually a good one. Hardens team was injured majority of the season, and harden averaged 36 ppg breaking like 30 records over the season while carrying an injured rockets team to the 4th seed. Could’ve been the 2nd seed if they won the final game of the season too.
They clown Pierce so much when he mentioned he had a better career than DWade, which he did not, but he has a point. If Paul had a young Shaq or LeBron and Bosh he would've easily been seen as a bigger star than what he already was. His other takes were terrible though
Okay but all he did was bring up a bunch of “ifs” with the comparison between him and D-Wade. He said nothing about the careers they actually both had and he didn’t really answer the question
That’s so funny. Max has actually had some solid takes. He was right about KD. But even iggy telling him he was crazy saying he should have the final shot over steph is hilarious
I think he’s right too like no joke. Not saying Kobe isn’t the better one to have in a fourth quarter, but I just think Kawhi doesn’t feel pressure at all. 1st shot or last it’s all the same to him. the dude is a robot.
Ya his kobe mount rushmore argument was completely valid. Lebron is much better than kobe. Kobe only had 2 finals mvp. Shaq is better than kobe in my opinion
Maybe he would have been but not anymore after those injuries, playoff flop and load managements. Kawhi was a beast until Zaza injured him, even better than KD.
To be fair the question was who was a better draw for the audience (ie TV ratings). NFL is more popular and get more TV rating than NBA. It could have been true that at the height of Tim Tebow mania, he drew more people to watch than Kobe or Lebron.
To be fair, Tebow actually was and maybe still is a bigger draw than LeBron. Remember, The media covered and promoted the hell out of Tebow when he signed a minor league deal in baseball. And continued to cover him and thought it was great when he batted .186 in the minors.

But it is true. Kobe is overrated under pressure and is less clutch on a per shot basis than guys like Steph, LeBron, Embiid, Kawhii, Luka, and others.

First Take has always been set up as a heel/face show. The first year the Cavs and Warriors met in the finals, I drove to Cleveland to attend First Take with my friend. Someone came out to warm up the crowd and the crowd was encouraged to cheer Stephen A and to boo Skip.
Ryan Hollins takes were not as bad as others, but he was wrong about Giannis not deserving MVP. And he was wrong about the Lebron, MJ, Kobe thing too. The bulls and warriors one is debatable. Thanks for watching tho
@Efren Rodriguez Ok so I want to say that just because something is an opinion, doesn’t make it valid. Like wasn’t the thing Max said about Kobe and kawhi also an opinion? But obviously 90% of people know that that’s a crazy thing to say. Even though it’s an opinion, Max was obviously wrong. The thing about lebron is wrong because he said neither Kobe or MJ could fill lebron’s shoes. He pretty much just called lebron the GOAT, and he didn’t even think about it. That statement is severely incorrect and also by most nba fans standards would agree with me. Did you see the reaction shaq and Max had. I’m not saying that it’s dumb just because he called lebron the GOAT. I don’t think lebron is the goat, Because I think MJ is definitely better and lebron comes second, but that’s not my point. Saying MJ or Kobe couldn’t fill his shoes, is going too far
@Efren Rodriguez I see where you’re coming from. It’s not dumb to say Lebron is the GOAT, but it’s definitely not smart to say neither MJ or Kobe could fill his shoes
@Efren Rodriguez Yes I’m saying MJ could. I believe that. Maybe not Kobe, because Kobe is obviously worse than lebron and MJ. No disrespect to him, he’s still a top 10 player of all time. I think MJ could because look at MJ’s rookie stats. He had MVP stats as a rookie: 28, 6, 6 on 50% shooting from the field and 85% from the free throw. That’s literally MVP stats. He was 21.

2:18 how that crowd went "Ahhhh noooo, we bout to get smoked by the aliens" 😂😂😂
These are the takes that made Stephen a want Max gone
Ryan Hollins takes in this video weren’t even bad takes, they were good arguable basketball discussion topics
Right
Except, Ryan didn't even argue Kobe on the topic, but simply passed him up.
Ridiculous!
Imagine a guy ur height and really good at basketball
Jay Williams getting up to stretch gotta be the funniest reaction i’ve seen on ESPN 😂😂😂😂
Crazy that 34% of America thinks Jordan at 52 years old would have beaten a 2015 Bron
If you grew up with MJ he can not do wrong, he is a god among mortals. Its just facts, but reality is not forgiving to this.
First Take has always been set up as a heel/face show.
The first year the Cavs and Warriors met in the finals, I drove to Cleveland to attend First Take with my friend. Someone came out to warm up the crowd and the crowd was encouraged to cheer Stephen A and to boo Skip.
Jay Williams reaction to Max saying Kawhi is better than Kobe has me dead every time 😂😂😂😂😂
So where did max say Kawhi was better?
@@lilkradabeast5133 1:04
@@CJRozayno he said under pressure, and his take was good, Under pressure in a game 7 sort of scenario, I want kawhi over kobe
@@werunthisworld so Max basically said Kawhi is better than Kobe under pressure right? He said that right?
I mean Ryan Hollins takes were actually pretty accurate. Paul was definitely drunk talking 🤣🤣
I reckon him calling Steph a wing is debatable
Ryan Hollins takes were not as bad as others, but he was wrong about Giannis not deserving MVP. And he was wrong about the Lebron, MJ, Kobe thing too. The bulls and warriors one is debatable. Thanks for watching tho
@Efren Rodriguez Ok so I want to say that just because something is an opinion, doesn’t make it valid. Like wasn’t the thing Max said about Kobe and kawhi also an opinion? But obviously 90% of people know that that’s a crazy thing to say. Even though it’s an opinion, Max was obviously wrong. The thing about lebron is wrong because he said neither Kobe or MJ could fill lebron’s shoes. He pretty much just called lebron the GOAT, and he didn’t even think about it. That statement is severely incorrect and also by most nba fans standards would agree with me. Did you see the reaction shaq and Max had. I’m not saying that it’s dumb just because he called lebron the GOAT. I don’t think lebron is the goat, Because I think MJ is definitely better and lebron comes second, but that’s not my point. Saying MJ or Kobe couldn’t fill his shoes, is going too far
@Efren Rodriguez I see where you’re coming from. It’s not dumb to say Lebron is the GOAT, but it’s definitely not smart to say neither MJ or Kobe could fill his shoes
@Efren Rodriguez Yes I’m saying MJ could. I believe that. Maybe not Kobe, because Kobe is obviously worse than lebron and MJ. No disrespect to him, he’s still a top 10 player of all time. I think MJ could because look at MJ’s rookie stats. He had MVP stats as a rookie:
28, 6, 6 on 50% shooting from the field and 85% from the free throw. That’s literally MVP stats. He was 21.
“Nah he a wing guy” “what’s happening right now”
Chauncey Billups DA GOAT of this video
Yo the one with shaq saying "you're gonna pass up Kobe like that" to Ryan Hollins, the look of Molly's face HILARIOUS
“Yes he is” Max said that shit with the quickness & confidence too 💀😭
