Im old enough to remember SAS saying this team was gonna take over LA and the West. Now here he sits acting as if he never said such things.
Most people said that at the time because on paper, they should have been one of the best teams in the NBA. It’s not SAS’s fault the Clips underperformed.
Kawhi was supposed to challenge LeBron for the "King of LA" 😂😂
SAS can’t control Kawhi or Pandemic P 🤣 they’re failures because they should’ve and could’ve won a chip but they didn’t.
That was before their all time choke job against Denver.
Yo people can be wrong bro. Who knew that Kawhi & Paul George would fail miserably ?? NOBODY
Blowing that 3-1 lead to Denver in the bubble was unforgivable
Just being the Clippers is unforgivable 😂
That and trading a future MVP and five other picks for a superstar who the best he could offer for the franchise is a WCF and ditched them for nothing in return.
and it was all downhill from there
And they were talking about how the Lakers didnt wanna see them lol.
That was a the best chance that Kawhi and PG had to get the clips a title.
Let's not forget that kwahi commercial when he came to LA 😂😂😂
Had the crown and everything lol
Would be so epic if kawhi ask for a trade lol
@@j.l.howlett6843 he will likely after this season
@@Bossdonbiggaif I’m him I retire…dude accomplished more than people expected. His knees betrayed him and it’s not getting better. Hang it up
He wasn’t even in new balance commercial this season, it was Murray and a wnba player. Tragic
"What you gonna do LeBron".... "Kahwai is coming for you LeBron"....."LA is now a Clipper town".😂😂😂😂
Read this in SAS voice 😂😂
He changed his mind when they choked that 3-1 lead in the bubble

They said Kawhi playing 68 games was a shock to his body 😂😂😂😂😂
🤦🏿🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao
“You ain’t going to Paris unless you going sight seeing or to put a lock on that bridge” 😂😂
He should give his spot to Jaylen Brown man. He have the nerve to play for usa when he always injured
That bridge is now closed😂
Lmaoo We Need More Of This Funny Shannon...I Feel They Watered Him Down Alot
🤣🤣🤣
I DIED AT THAT LMAO
Looks like load management didn't help 😂
Lmao!!😅😂😂
Starting to think if you’re missing 40/80 games the last 3 seasons. (160 games missed) you may not be the “king” of LA
120 games missed
At all! 😂
Joke of a team joke of a coach
Kawhi should have stayed in Toronto, lol
Lmao finally people realize only 5 years later 😅😅😅
Idk why he left 😂😂😂😂
I think he should have stayed 5 years ago they had the perfect team for his style of play
Kawhi got just what he wanted. Retirement in his hometown, and getting paid millions to not even play.
What a dumb comment, they blew up the roster the very next year 🤦🏻♂️
Fun fact: The lakers during the 2020 title run won more playoff series than the clippers did in the last five years
Yeah but that bubble championship don't count
@@jarvissledge2530 but in the records it is counted why you saying not? or you just being an ignorant? stay mad
@@jarvissledge2530if another team other than the Lakers won it would it still count
It’s a bubble chip. No one counts it
@@Rooski245 Record books do. Just like the Spurs title during the shortened season. Every team had the same chance to win. Lakers won, they're champions
kawhi took kyries spot on stephen a's hitlist lmao
When you fall to the ground, Steven A will walk up and kick you
😂😂😂😂
People act like Kawhi wanna get hurt it just works out that way with some players

@@CTFinestwell then get him off the team
It makes it even worse that Shai is a perennial All-NBA candidate and J-Dub is a budding star next to him after only his second season. The CLippers curse strikes again
Shai is a top 3 mvp candidate - Paul George has NEVER been a top 5 player in the nba. Between the clippers and the suns and Brooklyn teams are no longer going to trade their young talent
lol they would trade any of their players including Kawhi to have SGA back 😂😂
Yes but at the time no one saw that coming. Hindsight and all.
@@KNByamyou seem not to know much about the NBA.
Before he was shipped off for the Kawhi deal, Shai was consistently putting out all-star performances even as a very young player every other game in the Clipper Uniform.
I think in hindsight, once the Clippers saw that they had to trade Shai in the deal, they should have called Kawhi's bluff.
@@KNByam Doc rivers saw and said so but he was overruled by Balmer.
By the end of 2022, this team should have been broken up. Anyone with eyes could have told you that Kawhi was chronically broken and PG is in only slightly better shape.
It was last year for me. Kawhi was playing great in the playoffs and then just got ruled out the next game. I knew then he would never finish another season healthy. And then he did the same thing this year.
It was supposed to be Kawhi town 😂. That aged terribly
I mean let's be honest. He mind as well retire if he can't keep his body intact for a whole year of basketball. He basically collects checks and ducks over the team because of it. The clippers will never win with Kawhi there
As a Raptors fan, I love this, Kawhi took the raptors for granted. Should've stayed with us.
His ego
Wouldn’t mattered. Injuries is the only reason why he couldn’t win with the clippers
@@kevinira256 not true bro he would of repeated easily
He’s American. None of us would pick Canada over LA. Y’all got Lucky KD went down. Y’all won’t win another Chip until 2300 😂
Agreed
Don't let this distract you that the same sAS said PG and Kawhi were the best thing since Jordan and Pipen and they dominating LA, they winning a chip, they taking over LA from the Lakers, How long has it been 😂 this guy is never helded accountable for this exaggerated garbage takes, somebody should pull up the clips
Scottie and Pippen??? 🤔
Folks thinking this clipper era is the second coming of the bulls dynasty=🤡
Brown and Tatum are in fact the best wing duo since Jordan and Pippen. JT and JB are the players that everyone thought that Kawhi and PG were going to be together.
I remember so many dumb things he's said. No one puts him on blast. He's constantly wrong.
the clipper curse strikes again 😂
You beat me to it. 100% the curse continues.
This is what they get for moving to LA and thinking that they could overthrow the Lakers
Paul George Relying on Joel Embiid 🤦🏿♂️🤣🤣
Relying on him to do what? Get them bounced in the second round ? Lol
PG relying on that 200 mil 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
1st round exit
Embiid relying on Paul George 💀😭
the best moment on the 4 years PG-Kawhi era was game 7 against Denver in the bubble.
That was the worst moment, what are you talking about?
Kawhi bailed on the lakers that summer and did his stupid hew balance ad. Man that didn’t age well
Clippers are an absolute joke for letting him walk and not a sign and trade to golden state to at least get something back
The Clippers probably gonna just go for a rebuild in like 2 years. The Warriors put themselves in a bad spot with all those bad contracts
Always remember they got him for SGA and all of those picks for a wcf appearance and to help the Clippers run LA
That move wouldn’t be enough to push the Warriors for any championship contention
It’s harder to win switching teams then staying on one team

That’s a lot of good faith haha. If the Warriors back out you’re stuck with injury P
Remember all the commercial when they first joined with Kawhi being the new king of LA? Lollll
Both versions failed! Lob City failed and the kawhi/pg tandem failed, big time! Time to move out of LA!
They just built a new stadium
That new stadium is gonna be empty
IF THE CLIPPERS FAILED THEN THE DISCUSSION SHOULD BE THAT LAWRENCE FRANK SHOULD BE FIRED. LAWRENCE FRANK GAVE UP 7 DRAFT PICKS AND SHAI GILDRESS ALEXANDER
It's not that simple can't fire someone for something that came to fruition years later
If he should be fired it's for not trading kawhi or George sooner
Lawrence Frank stalked Kawhi for a year in Toronto! They both take the blame for this failure! It started with them!
With the demands he had and him never being available to play on a regular basis, Kawhi Leonard destroyed this franchise.
Which was bad buts it's DEF not the main reason any talks of the clippers struggles begin and end with kawhi's health period he is the most unreliable superstar in NBA history Lmaooo
@@michaelshelton7196 LAWRENCE FRANK SHOULD BE FIRED HE MADE THE CALL
I remember the Jordan and pippen comparisons 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
One of the biggest failed experiments in league history.
I still think Brooklyn was worse
@@besmorpheous”One of” I do agree with you but the original statement is still valid
With the most toxic fan base and a satisfying downfall
You people are evil
@@user-namuhmodnar what fan base is most toxic ?
Lol Stephen A absolutely set up that Paris sightseeing comment by Unc 😂...
Goes to show you don't need opposing views for the hell of it. Shannon doubling down on Stephen A is entertainment and Stephen a, knows it. Holding back the smile as Shannon runs riot lol
I can't believe it been 5 YEARS ALREADY WOW
Kahwai "Lennid" 😂😂 never gets old
Kawah
The most valuable player the Lakers gave away for AD was Josh Hart. The Clippers gave away an MVP candidate lol
😂😂😂
Mvp candidate?? You drunk Lol
@@michaelshelton7196 SGA wasn’t an MVP candidate this year?
@TreMac357 oh ok he was I didn't think you were talking about him ...tho he had no real chance to win the award Lol
@@michaelshelton7196take the L. You were wrong. Dead wrong
PG looking at Kawhi like, "Stephen A was right...."
He only played 20 more games in this whole run even tho Kawhi missed a whole 82 game season with an ACL tear
After winning a chip with Toronto Kawhi has basically been robbing the NBA.
Not at all they cudnt wait to pay him this money these teams have team doctors to do they do diligence that's they job they signed him to long term deal knowing wut they know that's 100% on the organization
The signing and trade that literally shook from Cali to Vegas was all for nothing…
This year started so well for the Clippers too
These commentators are evil....they know full well the guys were not healthy
It really did. The Harden trade was terrible
@@MrMDMPOfficialNah we don't have a true point so harden was a must either way
Between all of the Clipper players, I would have kept PG. Too bad for Ty Lue.
Never forget playoff p dropping 7 pt games in the playoffs
The Clippers are a team where players come to retire.
That would be the Lakers
@@TrentonJohnsonJr-ip9zhat least they won a chip unlike the clippers
OkC says: THANK YALL!!
It looked like Caesars Palace behind Shannon
That 2020 championship ages better with time every year when you take into account how many other teams that were put together around that time could’ve been validated with it by winning it all .
That 2020 championship is the weakest championship ever. Nobody cares about that bubble rings except Fakers fans.
@@TrentonJohnsonJr-ip9zh and you apparently lol
@@TrentonJohnsonJr-ip9zhthe flippers cared about it🤷♀️ they blew a 3-1 lead trying to win that same bubble championship 😂😂 we all know if the flippers never choked you people wouldn’t be saying this
@@TrentonJohnsonJr-ip9zhthe flippers doesn’t have a conference finals to be proud of 🤷♀️😂😂 let alone a ring🤷♀️ you do know the flippers has no rings
NBA canceled the season never should been played a lot of players are on record saying the did t want to play in it
Its like the 1994 MLB season with no World Series should just moved on to next season
Kawhi had a commercial about being the king of LA in 2019 😂
I’m almost mad they didn’t even bring up the whole kawai Leonard coming over with the new balance commercial essentially saying he’s going to be the new “king of LA” and how the media ate that up. That backfired really hard on him. 😂
This segment should have been 10min long at least
I’m not feeling any sympathy for the Clippers. I’m a Laker fan since the 80’s. The last two iteration of a Clipper team on the verge of winning a title, Lob city and Kawhi-PG, were failures. There was so much talk of Clippers moving past the Lakers in LA. But no! My Lakers may be mediocre right now. But when they sit in the upper tier of the Western Conference, they achieve success on success on success. The Lakers rule LA. Always have and always will. Go Lakers!
Shanon said ‘put the locks in the bridge!!’ 🤣🤣🤣
I’m loving the show today 😅
The city of Los Angeles hates Kawhi & Paul George
so load managing every year did more harm than good....
How??? You realize his career would’ve been long over by now and the Raptors don’t win in 2019 without it??
@@Christian-eq6pq the experiment failed because of the load management. Nothing became of their tenure in the LA clippers.
Anybody remember that Kawhi we got now commercial
Even Lebron when he got there in LA, he was past his prime and did more for LA than Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. At least he won a championship with 2 conference finals appearance and nearly won the regular season MVP in 2020.
I blame Drake for Kawhi leaving Toronto Raptors, he’s from LA 😂😂😂😂
He def searched that word up before air time
He uses this word a lot you must be a new fan
He uses it a lot and even if he did just look up the word he’s trying to improve his diction for his job nothing wrong with that
just because you can’t comprehend such a vocabulary doesn’t mean everyone is stupid like you
You ain’t too bright are you
Maybe you did 😂
King of what city Khawi? Toronto
If Kawhi would’ve went to the Lakers he would’ve had at least 2 rings right now and maybe a Finals MVP instead he hasn’t been to the conference finals since 2019
Highly doubt that Lol
Kawhi doesn’t care
I don't think SAS knows what "blackmail" means 😂😂😂😂😂
Stephen A Smith has never been the most intelligent person
@@TrentonJohnsonJr-ip9zhhe definitely smarter then you Lol
6:00 he played 68 games and that was a shock to his body 😂😂
As an OKC fan, i wanna thank the Clippers organization from the bottom of my heart.
It sounds like ESPN thinks this is the Clippers fault. I think its PG's fault. He is TERRIBLE in the playoffs. He shrinks. He makes excuses. He whines.
I dont think Philly is going to win anything. Embiid is the east coast Kawhi! The Clippers did everything you could ask for those 2 bums, but this is their fault? Hell no
Paul George got the flippers to a conference finals 🤷♀️😂 kawhi can’t do that
Ofc it's clippers fault especially kawhi, why he come to clippers and make their FO throw everything just to get PG who can't consistent enough in playoffs
@@devontacosby8593Kawhi mainly got them to the conference finals all pg did was close out the series
@@randymoss789 bro I don’t know if you’re delusional or in denial 😂🤷♀️🤷♀️ or just flat out a regular idiotic pathetic kawhi flippers fanboy the only time the flippers made a conference finals was with Paul George and WITHOUT KAWHI LENORAD! Like just delete your RUclips account kid😂🤷♀️🤷♀️
Nothing but goofy stories about the Clippers. If you’re a fan of this franchise you’re in self-sabotage mode.
Absolutely on par with the how the Clippers feel about being a sports franchise. This shouldn't be a shock to anyone. The only shock is how anyone can call themselves a Clippers fan with a straight face.
That's thumbnail is funny as hell to me...
😂
Who remember ppl having Kawhi better than Lebron😂😂
Look at his playoff numbers since 2017, not crazy to say that at all. Nga is getting injured tf dont yall understand?
@@Nca021and so what? Remember max compare him with kobe? WITH KOBE REALLY? injured is always a excuse for kawhi when he's the most load management player in NBA and it's been 4 maybe 5 years after the trade and clippers still got nothing except their first western conference finals?
@@gilanganugrahfajar5502 how is an injury to a point where u can’t even be on the court an excuse dummy? It don’t change the fact that his numbers in the playoffs since 2017 are straight up ridiculous and reached an efficiency level kobe never fkn reached. Not to mention he’s a better defender than kobe…
@@Nca021 is 2017 and now he's not clutch at all cus he's always injured yeah better defender than kobe until can't defend jokic, Murray, and MPJ
@@gilanganugrahfajar5502 “not clutch cuz he’s injured” bro listen to yourself, u sound dumb. He’s always been a better defender than kob ever since he stepped in the league. Mpj Murray jokic? Tf are u actually talking ab??? 4 years ago? Yeah ig a sf is supposed to be guarding jokic… stop talking bro
why the bo2 zombies music start playing halfway through for 20 seconds💀
Whats the timestamp?
Not the lock on the bridge 😂😂
People really thought the KLAW was gonna be the new King LMFAOOOO
My biggest takeaway from this entire video is that molly is even more useless than I thought. This was beautiful man. No interrupting or no annoying questions. They don't need her at all bruh.
Equal opportunity bruh
💯
UNGSTA nothing wrong with having a women on the show just not one that's annoying interrupts too much and has nothing if interest to say Lol
bro all these women on shows be nothing but eye candy
@@pillowface5628 false garuntee monica know way more bout hoops then you Lol
Only time these guys talk about the clippers is when they’re doing bad
When do the clippers do good?
@@djturner-smith6380NEVER when it matters
That's 80% of the time
Whichever superstar doesn’t return Stephen A Smith’s phone calls will get roasted. 😂😂😂😂
Event in vegas??
When has Paul George been on a team that hasn’t been a failure in terms of expectations?
Never 😂
Pacers
@bless2063 indiana
I don’t remember guys like grant hill, penny hardaway, d rose getting criticized for being injured…..
Price Tag just went up! 😂😂😂
Lmao bro said “aint no way he going to Paris unless he puttin a lock on the bridge “😂
Someone needs to teach SAS what BLACKMAIL means. Im no Kawhi fan but he game them a set of options...If you want me go get PG or Ill go elsewhere. Thats just business not BLACKMAIL
They just spew garbage to get views and likes
He is teetering defamation with the way he continues to speak about Kawhi. He should use words the way it is meant to be used.
I really hope they give the same energy to Joel when he gets injured again this playoffs
Shut the hell up
Joel Embiid played!!!! lol. Like stop it. Kawhi drops 30 and then does not play whatsoever! Embiid dropped 50! Stop it. Don’t compare Embiid and Kawhi lmao. Let’s go back since 2021 and let’s count how many times each has played in the playoffs lmao. Stop it
I remember the media saying this was the best backcourt since Jordan and Pippen 😂
Well jordan and pippen or kawhi and PG aren't a backcourt none are point guards Lol so I doubt the media ever phrased it that way
Street lights over spotlights 😂
Kawhi got 2 rings he good
He could’ve have 5 but the Clippers are too overrated
@@andrewfanfan His biggest mistake was not joining the Lakers. He could easily picked up 2 or even 3 more rings playing with AD and Lebron.
Huge for the 76ers. They might be the 4th best team in the East and lose in the 2nd round now
They still have their season opener banners
Only thing need to be said is OKC is brilliant…..
They a good squad...Brilliant is a chip at least finals appearance Lol
Had Kawhi been healthy in 21 they would’ve beat the Suns and played the Bucks in the Finals. They were assembled nicely early on but got a bit more age today.
All the talk about Boston not getting it done like this team wasn’t WAYYYYYY worse. 4 ALL NBA PLAYERS, MULTIPLE MVPs
Boston team was young and healthy and had been on the doorstep last few years not a comparable situation
The zombies music kicks in at 3:15
Honestly 2020 to 2022 was the only window Clippers could have won. The next generation of talents and their teams were young back then, but have matured and started taking over since 2022. And Clippers' injury and age started catching up.
I wish people would start calling out Kawhi Leonard. These analysts call out every other star player from Lebron, Durant, Harden, etc.
Kawahi playing for USA in Paris is a slap in the face to me, Jaylen Brown need that spot
"Ain't no way he goin to Paris unless he sightseeing and putting the lock on the bridge" hahahahahahaha
That 3-1 series broke them. Like the Chicago Bears and Matt Nagy when Cody Parkey kicked that double doink. You just knew nothing is meant to be lol
The clippers blew a 3-1 lead to the nuggets in 2020
Can’t even put locks on the bridge 🤣🤣🤣
Stephen A should just sit down and let Shannon take over the ESPN..
I can’t watch First Take anymore, even after getting Shannon and how great he is.
This is the problem when you put star players on a team that play the same position. You usually don't fimd success.
This cements what Shannon said 4 years ago after the clippers blew tht 3-1 lead to the nuggets
The greatest melt down in NBA history. They’ve never been the same since
"YADAH! YADAH! YADAH!" Lmaooo
The difference between Penny and grant hill injured never played together for kswdi and pg with clippers was two sorry max contracts for five yrs later nothing .that past a curse that clippers history
I remember Skip was over the moon when this clippers team was formed 😂
We need to see the Kawhi vs Shannon fight already 😂
A failure, but also a necessary failure.
The trade allowed the Clippers franchise to be relevant after years of mediocrity before the “Lob-City” era. Allowing the franchise to grow & even become an independent entity in a competitive Los Angeles market.
A problem the Clippers also never worked out was, in the absence of Kawhi & PG13, developing another player who could be a starter AND get comparable numbers.
19/20 - Next best scorers after Kawhi & PG13 were two guys who started a total of 10 games (Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell)
20/21 - Third best scorer was getting 13.4 ppg and even though they only had Kawhi/PG13 for 52/54 games, they started 9 more games than anyone else on the Clippers roster (Reggie Jackson 43)
21/22 - No Kawhi and limited PG13, but Reggie Jackson gave them games, starts (75) and ppg (16.8)
22/23 - Another 52/56 games from their big 2 and again, no-one developed to be a consistent starting scorer. Powell off the bench, a half season for Westbrook and a limited season for Jackson.
23/24 - Best chance for the Clippers. Kawhi and PG13 play 68/74 games AND get James Harden to add 72 starts of his own and get 62.9 ppg out of those three players, and they could still only finish 5th and lose in the first round.
I’m a Suns fan. The worst trade in history is definitely us giving away our entire core, picks, and future for KD and Beal. We are not winning a Finals with this team.
