If Shannon Sharpe does come to ESPN, I can't wait for him to get put in a segment with Mad Dog.
😂😂😂😂 bra that’s gone be gold
Shannon has more than enough experience dealing with loud, annoying, boomers
@@RyanLBrown9396Being one himself.
that’s just him and skip
Literally just him and nock of skip
Mad dog is just a more likeable and actually funny version of skip Bayless
Naw skip is actually hilarious. Lol
Equally incompetent.
Really? Incompetent?
@@josephrafferty6763 chris mad dog russo as incompetent? he has forgotten more sports than you know goofy
He’s Mad Dog, he’s nothing like Skip. Mad Dog is that guy
Mad Dog's face, whenever someone brings up 80's basketball, is the funniest thing ever.
😂😂😂😂😂
lmao
2:34 Yooo 😂😂😂
Why can I picture it without even seeing him? 😂😂😂
😂😂70s & 60s too...
Maddog’s default facial expression when waiting to talk is the same way I look at the last bite of a ice cream in the tub of ice cream
😂😂
Zoolander…
😂😂😂😂
Bruh😂😂
Porzingis played in the playoffs vs the clippers in Dallas 😂
"Played" is too strong
He participated
They traded him an ended up out the playoffs😂😂
@@brickz001 last year they made Wcf after trade him
@@victorvic4659 no they didn't 🤣🤣🤦🏿♂️ they went to the wcf with him on the team
@@brickz001 give you couple more minutes to check⌚⌚⌚
Mad Dog looking more like skip by the day son 😂😂
y'all just miss skip stop lying 😂😢
The funny version
5:15 Derrick White is all of a sudden Derrick Brown lol
Who? 😂😂😂
Yoooo I caught that… I’m here in the comment section looking to see if anyone else caught it too 😂
The Mad Dog’s blue steel
😂
Mad Dogg finally making sense
Derrick Brown is my favorite Celtics player.
Jokes aside, Derrick White really is my favorite. His advanced stats are exceptional and the brother is so humble.
Why do professional athletes need to be 'humble'? They're entertainers.
@@meech7520They don’t. That’s the point.
@@meech7520 Humility is a virtue, regardless of one’s vocational status.
No one said professional athletes NEED to be humble, only that it’s remarkable when they are. It must be all to easy for them to become arrogant and prideful.
@@anthonyblood2439 You ever think that maybe the arrogance that's displayed is just part of the performance?
I expecting him to be HUGE HUGE part in celtics path to the chip, he improved a lot, i told that to everyone when we get him on trade dead line 2022, but anyone trusted me on that
man last few years are crazy - if it was 2015-2016 he would get maybe 120mill
That’s called inflation
@@ghostfvce0 still did paychecks of all other sports increased so much.
@@Bad888Max Check Quarterback deals in the NFL and see how they balloon every time their rookie contracts are up. It happens in every other league except the NHL, it's just more prevalent in basketball cause their player's association is the best at getting good deals in the player's failure. In the NFL, it's locked to premier positions like QB, DE, and WR with few exceptions.
mad dog mad funny 🤣
I agree with Mad Dog, you see JT and JB turn over the ball a million times over the last 2 post season and you pick them as the favorites lol
Mad Dog doesn’t let Molly finish her questions. 😂😂😂
They had all great answers at the ending segment
Mad dog literally a young skip bayless 😂 even looks similar to him too
Why is Mad dog staring like that💀😂😂😂
Haha it’s like Greeny! They both stare at the monitor and not the camera! 😂
Man is a Gotham Villian
That's how I be when the pill start bussin
@@perrywashup5168 lol
@perrywashup5168 ong when that water make it activate 😳
Mad Dog with the blue steel Zoolander face! My lord have mercy 😂😂
Lmao I was trying to remember who he reminded me of
4:57 just added an extra inch for both lmao 😂😂😂
Stephen A vs Mad dog is gold
Great convo
Bruh I be over here dying when Madd Dogg go to yellin’..lol!
Most valuable player is Shohei Ohtani. Bro is reviving a whole sport.
Ohtani needs to play in the postseason man, must watch tv for a sport that gets lost in the midst of the nfl season
If he don’t make playoffs than what does it matter? Russel Westbrook averaged a triple double for 3 seasons 😂😂😂
Agreed
there was nothing to revive baseball was always dead and boring.
Right now, Othani is the true unicorn! Nobody is close to being as unique as he is as a player. Nobody has ever done what Othani is doing, and we still don't know if someone will ever do what he is doing. 😮
Mad dog looking like John travolta in grease with that stare lol
😂😂😂
JB is like Klay with less of a shot but better slashing. It was a smart move imo. The team choked but he’s usually one of my favorite players.
Put MAD DOG in movies asap!!!!😂
9:50 a Cracked Finger Nail💀😭😭
I wouldn't call my Celtics favorites either. You've solved some of the issues with the front court, yes, but back court playmaking remains a problem. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown do not compliment each other as stars in this league and without consistent back court playmaking our offense will continue to be one dimensional. For what it's worth though the defense is gonna be top 5 without a doubt provided Porzingis can stay healthy.
Taytum/Brown have to step up as leaders (that was Smart and to a lesser extent Grant). Porzingis has to stay healthy/up his game, the other Williams as well...
Alot of pressure on the Js (especially with JB contract and how JT MUST have a bigger one coming up) - Smart literally ran the offense and Grant was their PJ Tucker.
Brogdon (now injured) hasn't had the space to produce and now you add in a high volume Porzingis (higher then Smart/White) it really comes down to JT going top 5 and/or JB going top 10 level when it matters most. 😮
If Porzingis is healthy, you're going to see a much different offense than you saw in the playoffs. Porzingis adds a ton to that offense. While also being a good rim defender.
@@josephrafferty6763 Yeah but you aren't worried about the back court playmaking at all?
Mad Dog is starting to look like Skip
Mad Dog reminds me of Zoolander with that look….😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can't unsee it now 😭😭
MAGNUM
Mad Dog's little smile when Stephen A gets angry
Starting the show saying “no” 😂😂
I love Mad Dog, he provides such a rare old school perspective that should be valued ❤
I stand with Maddog on this one. Stephen A just talking ! 😂😂
i knew 1:50 in this was gonna be fuuuuunny lol
SAS stay offff the weeeeeduh😂😂😂😂😂
Completely agree with Mad Dog
I love doggy he raw and real sometimes😅
This Derek Brown fella sounds like a real baller.
I’ve grown to like mad doggy
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂u actually like dat jabroni 🤦🏾♂️
Mad Dog and Skip can easily pass for brothers
He said Otani ,,, oh my gosh!!!!🤯
I honestly thought Steven A was going to tell mad dog to stop bringing up past generations to compare to now
Boston loves Mad Dog too!
l love this 2
That man MadDog has mastered the "Blue Steel" look lmao
Don't forget Mad Dog is a fan of the Celtics I'm with him on this one!
Mad Dog moves and looks like Skip Bayless
How’d they do in those big games? Lmao 😭😭😭
What about the importance of students learning the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathmatics in sports, while they are learning a sport and how it improves their sports performance while preparing them for a STEM world
Mad Dog being correct that's new lol
How
The Lakers lost in the WCF in 1986 in Game 5, not the first round. And it was not a decisive game for the Lakers, it was an elimination game for them.
Sas half AZZ know what he talking about
Mad Dog: "Bob Cousy would win it all" 😂
I agree with Mad Dog
Must be a slow news day
We've gone through this same song and dance with boston over the last few years lol. Who carers if they're "favorites" on paper
He had me on his side at "this team is weird"
Mad Dog 110% correct on this 1….
He said porzingis never played in the playoffs when he played in the bubble 😂
I cant lie boston should be the faves on the east….miami lookin mid and bucks are not the same lol they seem a but older and a step slower
Can not wait for Mad Dog vs Shannon in the best small forward of all time debate
What's Stephen a smokin 😂
This our year
Stephen A is wrong about the Ralph Sampson thing, it was in game 5 but it was the 1986 Conference Finals against the Lakers as opposed to the first round like he said.
I actually agree with mad dog with this one
SAS going on soliloquy about Magic losing and coming back? Magic had a couple of rings, what have these Celtics done? MadDogg needs to clap back.
A cracked fingernail 😂😂😅😅
He said doggy 😢😂
Cracked fingernail 😂😂😂😂
5:17 who’s derick brown
I'm a Celtics fan but I have the Nuggets as the favorites and I have my concerns with my Celtics, looks good in some ways but in other I have concerns specially health issues with Porzingis and Robert Williams both have problems staying healthy all season and the other concern is on the defensive end we lost Smart and Grant Williams they were the defensive personality on the team and we don't have them anymore
smart wasnt good as a defender . white was better last year . grant was out of rotations last year. celtics will be fine
@@paulluu17 I hope
@paulluu17 nope, Smart is a top 3 overall defender + their leader along with Grant (PJ Tucker impact). White plays off the Js/Smart . Js have to level up.
@paulluu17 white can be a 3rd stringer on many teams, Smart is guaranteed starter on most teams/ elite defensively already proven. 😂
@@buddyboy4438white outplayed brogdan and smart by a mile last year. He was easily their 3rd best player
I'm only here to watch MadDog do his Zoolander Blue Steel pose...
I'll see if Steven a still feel like this end of season
I agree with Mad Dog here
Porzingis played a game 7 with the clippers kol
KP has played in the Playoffs with the Mavs in the first round
Did mad dog forget Porzingis played with Dallas in the playoffs? 😅
Yup
With all the people ESPN has fired I'm shocked that mad dog has a job somehow. Yes that weird list that makes them hard to understand. Did he say Shannon brown 1:21?
Porzingis has played in two playoff series and in one of them where he got hurt, the consensus was the Mavs Would have won the series if he was healthy.
Kristaps has played in the playoffs what is mad dog on about. They played the clippers two years in a row with him on the roster .
he said derrick brown😂
They had all great answers at the ending segment. Mad Dog doesn’t let Molly finish her questions. .
He's played in the playoffs with the Mavs 1st round.
I'm with Mad Dog on Brown - I'm a Celtics fan. But they didn't have a good choice besides this signing. The could trade him next summer now, if needed. it would have been difficult to get back a worthy asset by trading JB with 1 year left.
Why would u wanna give up jaylen brown do u understand how old is he and he keeps gettin better every year and he still isn’t in his prime
@@OdellDaGod well, if that's true, then ok, even for the overpriced supermax I'd keep him. But I'm NOT sure he is getting better after his 6th year (2021-22) and into his 7th (2022-23). His 3 point shooting was pretty bad this season - the worst of his career. His highest PER was in 2020-21 (19.9), in his 5th year. His defensive rating and +/- are all avg. His passing, playmaking, and handle are still pretty bad and he is not a high IQ player. This past season was his 7th year - so I think this is it for him. Maybe he'll become a smarter player. Overall, I'm not sure if any players in their 7th year went on to get better except a few all time greats: Magic won his 1st MVP in his 7th year. LeBron got smarter and more polished after his 7th year. Bird peaked in his 6th through 9th years. Curry's best year was his 7th year. For such a hefty sum, the Celtics could trade for a more complimentary player after next season.
He's a career 37% 3pt shooter ! Try again. 27 pts 47% from the field , 7 boards . Man, he's a good running mate with Tatum . Boston needs to run plays so Brown n Tatum doesn't have to work so hard offensively
@@yungface012 the point the other poster made was that JB is getting better. I'm saying - no, this is it, this is as good as he will be. Maybe if he gets smarter, then yes, he'll move up. I agree they need to have JB and JT work less and run more plays for them.
Jaylen brown is a very good player..maybe top 25 right now...but i won't pay him that much..he is not as good, much more better than lebron, shai, davis, steph, kd, booker, luka, jokic, dame, kyrie, embiid, giannis, butler, kawhi, d'fox, mitchell, ja, tatum, at best, he can be compared to the likes of, trae, adebayo, ingram, zion, pg13, kat, haliburton, sabonis, harden, siakam, derozan, lamelo...
Mad Dog goated😂
4:57 Tatum is 6’8 Stephen. A lol
Mad dog spot on
Doogy looking like me on my bday when that chanel 💊 kicked in
A heated debate about basketball between a analyst who doesnt watch basketball and a analyst who is stuck in the 80s
Cant wait!!!
Mad Dog!
Lol doggy on that 🐕
derrick white at pg
jaylen brown at guard
tatum at small forward
porzingis at forward/center
horford/williams at center
Now thats a very big line up at a very good defensive line up as well.
Smart by himself is the best defender by far, also Grant was their PJ Tucker 😂 , Horford is fading, Porzingis was acquired for offense, White can be 3rd string, Williams never healthy/1 dimensional
@@buddyboy4438this lineup is still a way above average defensively lineup , Derrick white was 2nd team all defense last year , Tatum is a elite defender, brown is a above average defender , Porzingis is a good defender with great rim protection, and Robert Williams is a great rim protector as well and Al is still a good defender
Whatcha talkin' bout Willis?
SAS JOB SHOULD BE ON THE LINE WITH THOSE TAKES LATELY
Mad Dog is insane😂🤣
I have Boston as the favorite to come out of the east but not the favorites to win the championship
Mad dog isn’t completely wrong in his take.
I just think it’s funny how all of a sudden Porzingus is such an X factor. But I believe in Boston over every other team in the East.
Lol no
He's a good Third option to have
right they’ll end up choking in the postseason like they do every year sure we’ve heard this story before
To your second statement, how?
People say this every year. Every year the Celtics choke. They will choke again.
Mbappe in an ESPN segment?!
