Chris Paul and Bob Myers won't be around much longer. They're making Stephen A Smith look clueless.
Not his show, so it's not his decision. And Smith doesn't need any help from them, he always looks clueless.
Stephen A is clueless. He can’t just give the Mavs credit 😂
@@datsapaddlin. Yes !
Stephan A. made a career of nonsense and yelling
@@alankidd6832 Exactly. He’s a buffoon.
SAS mad because Luka is destroying his racist narrative of the next jordan 😂
Talk that talk! Facts💯
Ant 🐜 hasn’t even earned the respect to even be on that level right now
What race got to do with Luka got at least 3 championships before he even get close to be part of that conversation? And ant too. The only person in the league now that belong in that conversation is Bron.
Black people should shut up about the Grammys. It's not racist, but then it brings up racism when it comes to an NBA player. White people are really weird sometimes
@@port80764 Bron...
Kobe >>>>>>>>> Lebron.
Stephen A just a weird troll. Bob Myers was spot on with everything he said.
SAS is more often wrong than not. He should be cut. Just bring in ex NBA players instead
SAS is the biggest bandwagon rider on TV because if y'all remember SAS is the same person who said Kyrie Irving needs to Retire and now Kyrie Irving is sensational...
basically
Do you really believe he said that because of kyries skill level? Or are you changing what he said lol
He also said Minnesota was gonna win the NBA title two weeks ago 😂
Not because of his play
Yes he said that bc of OFF THE COURT ISSUES
He’s never denied Kyrie’s talent and clearly likes watching him do his thing on the basketball court
SAS lower your voice, being a loud mouth doesn't make you right or smarter.
he keeps spitting on poor Malika.I dont know how she can stand that all the time
Stephen A needs to realize that "barbershop talk" only gets you but so far
He wouldn’t continue with this exaggerated parody of himself if the ppl at espn didn’t think it was entertaining
Well said😊
Barbershop talk!!!!
It got him millions....should he not listen to it? Wht did actual knowledge of the game get u
S.A.S needs to retire. He's a disgrace.. On top of having the worst takes in history he tried to use his influence to force Kyrie out of the league and now he's trying to change it up. Saying things like "Oh I haven't said a bad thing about Kyrie this year.." This man is a cancer, basketball would be in a much better place without him.
he gets views for ESPN, he not goin no where unless he gets bored
Yes!!
@@bo0gi3 oh trust me he will be fired soon ...he is pissing off alot of NBA players . ALOT
@@chrisgrozelle213 NBA players' opinion don't matter for ESPN - only the views matter. Stephen A will only get fired if the views plummet
Why are we forced to listen to a dude who would get demolished at a local 24fitness pickup game. Please retire SAS, he should of never been a major voice in BASKETBALL.
Can you believe a person in Stephen, a Smith debating a nba player n a former gm champion on basketball 😂 this guy a clown
the wild part is he thinks he’s the only one with a “correct” opinion
yeah him debating basketball with cp3 is wild 😂😂😂
That is his job
@bassmin954 True, but you can tell the type of person that what's to be right even tho he never played professionally
Dude average 1.5 per game talks like a HOF 😅
If y'all notice SAS gets mad everytime someone knows the game better than him..
That’s why Max Kellerman got let go
@@topsykretts2264100% facts
And reddick too
Everyone knows the ball better than him.
The guy tht said he needs encouragement has as many rings as SAS, maybe not confronting teammates is why
SAS worst nightmare….a cogent argument
THANK YOU TO BOB MYERS WHO IS AN ACTUAL NBA CHAMPION MULTIPLE TIMES! Giving Lukai and the Mavs some flowers while Stephen A can't stop being a racist. He doesn't know anything about basketball and just hypes up whatever black player is playing great at the moment. Luka has been owning them since he joined the league 6 years ago with ROY, 1st team All-Rookie and 1st team All-NBA every year after that. Luka has never known a lower level. Mavs gonna eat against the Celtics.
Kyrie and luka both have a negative plus minus against the cs both are like negative 15. Celtics are going to cook the mavs
Tatum and Brown gunna eat that fat Telly tubby Doncic for lunch. “ ohhh kyrie im so tired”
Based off of 2 regular season games, one before the trade deadline, and one right after while the team worked out their roles and plays with the new guys.
Stephen A-hole is a lot of things...but racist isn't one of them.
Wolves led in last 5 mins every game, despite kat being bad every game.
Bob Myers debating Stephen A Smith is just fun to watch lol like a rocket scientist talking to a short bus rider
You would trust SAS to know how to ride the bus?
Dont let it get too heated, Bob
Remember what happened to Max Kellerman
lol
he is not a journalist like Max and he looks like he's just having fun lol he's a former GM and built one of the best dynasties in sports, he'll whatever job he wants lol
@@gennarocollidi1329 I know..I was just kiddin...Bob doesnt need this job
Already made man
@@gennarocollidi1329 not just GM, one of the greatest GM of all time.
Good thing this isn't Stephen A show 😂
Chris Paul is a breath of fresh air. So good as an analyst.
I like that he just explained things calmly
agred
SAS comes up with a stupid argument to prove cp3 wrong with a high tone voice . Man such a clown SAS he needs to find something else as a career, he has turned this beautiful sport into personal vengeance
He is composed
Wow. Seriously. S A S was right. If you're missing 3s especially as many as towns missed. 3 out of 22. Wow
Paul is useless. Did you hear his question ( I wanna know who is talking to him, who is encouraging him. ). What.
WHO IS ENCOURAGING HIM.
dumbest question of all time.
No need to overcomplicate things, Luka and Kyrie delivering when it counts, all 3 games have been close, similar to how lakers/Denver was last year in the WCF, better team is prevailing.
Sports media will be better off without Stephen A
😂😂😂😂
People like SAS is hating we all know why, Now Luka and Kyrie Finish your story win the championship
Maybe next year😂😂😂😂
@@port80764 yeah just like cody in wrestlemania 39 😂he done it in wm 40 tho 😂
I’m so happy that Bob and CP3 gave it to this prejudiced guy.
KAT was playing bad. Ok. But he’s not the only reason. The team was playing bad. It’s a team sports.
PJ used to miss 7 shots too. What did Mavs did? Keep shooting. Now PJ is one of the key closer in the 4th quarter too.
The team spirit is so different. Mavs don’t blame but encourage team as one.
That’s the reason why Mavs are so strong. Real champions mentality
Stephen A hates Luka, and we all know why.
He has a lot of hate against a lot of Europeans. I mean Luka has been in the league for 6 years now and he still doesn't know how to pronounce Luka's 2nd name correctly.That's ignorant as hell for someone who talks basketball
@@rishabh227 you can't be that dense. Being European might be a secondary factor, but you should know what the real reason is...
@@jjpark1989 I know, that's why I said most Europeans, because they have one thing in common
He hates Kyrie Irving too..
something not quite white
Bob Myers constructed a juggernaut in Golden State so whatever he has to say, I’ll take his statements over SAS
He hired people to construct it slow dwn
💰
@@thedevilsrockstxr2309yeh I’m sure he made zero decisions himself. Do you not understand what a GM actually does?
He did not . Jerry west saved them
@@Yut-vs7zg so I guess Bob Myers didn’t draft Draymond and made other moves after 2012. I guess he wasn’t the GM in 2015 when they won their first ship, sign KD to win 2 more, and made moves for GSW to win their last one. Jerry deserves his praise for his drafts but Bob imprint is all over those ships
SAS needs to retire.....
He knows... he's trying to carve his own channel away because he sees the inevitable coming.. but hey... all else fails, SAS has General Hospital to fall back on 😬😬🥴
SAS thought CP3 was going to agree with him… LOL well that backfired royally. Bro is an NBA legend, you think he’s going to go with your garbage narrative?
Maybe if he checked harden or ayton he'd have a ring but no he didn't and doesn't know wht it takes to be a champ
@@thedevilsrockstxr2309 lol “doesn’t know what it takes to be an champ”… you ring groupies are crazy. You know only one team wins a chip a year right? Sure he never won a ring but he’s gotten somewhat close and he also ran into the Warriors dynasty for a few years straight. Hey go off though, by your logic Giannis’s charity case brother is better than CP3 because he has a ring from the 15 spot on the bench.
@@thedevilsrockstxr2309dumb comment
Media is entering a new era, the Era of real basketball talk. SAS needs to retire.
No accountability for edwards is crazy
SAS is so embarrassing for ESPN. He is not about the game of basketball but all about the gossip of basketball and his awfully wrong predictions over the years, are a testament to his incompetence as a basketball "analyst".
Luka doncic is the biggest reason the Mavs are up 3-0
Boy kyrie is and the whole team is I don’t know what you boys be watching
Kylie is , are you not watching ?
It's Luka and Kyrie leading the team. And Kidd. Kidd's defensive scheme make the Mavs one of the top defense in nba even with Luka and Kyrie in the lineup
Kyrie won the game for the Mavs in game 1. He's then been equally as good as Luka in games 2 and 3.
Team sport at the end of the day. No matter what
SAS is embarrassing to watch. You can tell everyone else is annoyed as we all are with him. He’s nonstop racist, never gives Luka & Jokic credit. Always brings up race, is mad corny, always trying to make a joke out of a bad take. Then will try to spout stats that anyone can easily look up, to try and sound smart. But if you follow his take and block stats out. They never make sense and it’s all just hating.
Stephen a smith is extremely disrespectful to lebron, is it because he doesn't like black people ?
Back to laugh after your comment after the great wyt hope has to wait another year to try again😂😂😂😂
Nobody respects what Stephen A had to say
Until he questions the Celtics and shits on Tatum. Then all of you clap like seals and eat every word he says.
Xenophobia and Black Supremacist are a big problem in Sports media. That’s what happens when you give too much power to people like Stephen A.
The latter doesn’t exist at all. Not even close
Just another issue that LeSkippy Bayless created. lol
@@Bobbytheman98he literally is the face of ESPN. He also had kellerman fired
Why do people keeping acting like race has anything to do with the fact that nobody in today's league has nearly enough rings to be brought up in the greats conversation besides Bron. People don't realize how soft today's league is and how easy it is to score. Since when has the NBA teams been scoring 130 poi TS a night. You can't look at somebidy that's scoring alot especially in this league and just start calling them greats. Their isn't any more dynasties I'm this league or even back to backs.
Black supremacist 😅 bro , these Luka fanboys and Slovenia fans just writing the most crazy things in the comments.
I'm surprised SAS doesn't start every one of his takes with "as a black man".
Both. We expected the Wolves to be better because of how they handled the Nuggets but they're not playing like that. The Mavs are the reason for that, they're out there outplaying 1 of the best defensive teams in the league. They're shutting down everything that had worked vs the Nuggets.
We? No me
Murray played terrible playoffs, that's the reason why Minnesota looked so good
Stephen A is a child.
Stephen A is an old-school jive turkey.
It doesn't feel like there's a Batman on the Wolves, Ant is Robin, KAT is Nightwing, they're just not there yet.
KAT is shooting 15 of 54 from the field. he's a nobody.
Dallas is a better defensive team and Kyrie for the first time in his career is committed to the defensive end that's scary to go together with his offense and Luka is Luka plus they are getting contributors.
Luka ain't a "brother" you know? SAS only credits "brothers".
Stephen A. Mad asl nobody paying attention 😂🤣🤣
SAS is just jealous that his Jalen Brunson is nowhere near the talent of Luka
This guy didnt even vote brunson as all star this year he's just a racist that can't accept the fact that white folks good at ball too
Steve A smith is not a real Knick fan. He would trade Brunson for Mitchell in New York Minute.
Jalen has done things Luka hasn’t
@@Zal8888 Like what?
@@oocinom Palm the ball on 33 dribbles in a row. Luka could never!
I like what CP3 said giving his late great college coach George Edward “skip” Prosser credit for the statement, “ it’s a team game played by individuals!” Athletes need constant support and building blocks to reach that next level. And statements like this are so important and encouraging to a young man’s future success! 💯👍🏾🏀
As an analyst, SAS is a clown, but he's a clickbait. Look at him here: he says nothing sensible, but he pouts, screams and shouts, acts dramatic, and turns calm, seasoned analysis into a soap opera with a good headline...
CP3 is the ONLY guy on this panel who knows what he's talking about in this discussion. He's the only guy with direct experience. SaS is lost as usual. Unfortunately, the more lost he is that louder he gets -- trying to bluster his way to consensus. I may be wrong, but Wilbon's body language suggests that he doesn't even want to be on the same stage as SaS.
Don’t disrespect Bob Myers like that
Myers built a dynasty. Pretending he doesn’t know ball is ridiculous
@@Romanus- Meyers built a great team, for sure. And he's brilliant. But he has not directly dealt with a shooting slump.
Do Malika, Chris, Mike and Bon really enjoy having Stephen A. there yelling all the time? It's obvious that he just wants the bulk of the attention.
Bob Myers is one of the greatest thinkers in NBA history!
"we'll see if Finch uses you like Mike Malone did" 😂
SAS was not expecting CP3 to counter him with such reason, SAS really, really hates overseas players. CP3 is really good analyst.
SAS can’t stand the fact that a foreign white man is better than his favorite black players. Love antman but Luka is the face of the league right now and is the better player.
Facts
Ant is not his favorite black player.
It’s anyone but Luka.
LIES. Luka isn't the face of the league because he (1) has ZERO championships; and (2) he's not even ranked Top 5 in jersey sales. The face of the league remains LeBron James, followed by Steph Curry.....
Let him win multiple rings to be face of league
really interesting that they always defer to cp3 for the right answer and cp3 always has the right take on everything and he's not letting emotions screw with his thinking.. gee, hes'such an asset to the warriors. i guess they the smartest team in the league, with the possible exception of coach Kerr
SAS said he wanted to put brunson over luka for 1st team all nba & brunson/ant over luka for mvp. that should tell you enough about what SAS thinks about luka
Stephen a trying to bait CP3 into saying something negative about KAT lol
Stephen A trying to argue basketball with CP3😂 Stephen A knows absolutely nothing
Was that gameplay music the loading screen music from nba street vol 1?? 😭
'One person does not lose the entire game'. You did CP3 this past season. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cp3 played phenomenal this past regular season
Walton also said he is only a good player and not the GOAT OF COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Walton idolized Kareem, but he also idolized John Wooden. John Wooden said Bill was the GOAT college player, and he knew a little bit about then-Lew Alcindor.
SA still dreamin
Blaming it on KAT Luke ant isn’t averaging 22 on 38% and being outscored by both Luka and Ky. not just one of them, both
Wil you people shut up about SAS. He's amazing, he's been amazing and he's the reason we even watch these shows, admit it. Anyone complaining about him takes everything too personally
Dpoy ain’t playing defense
The top two t wolves players are playing like trash
Rest of the team including the current 6th man of the year ain’t step up
We expect Luka and kyrie to be themselves we don’t expect this
What games have you been watching lol? Without naz Reid those games aren’t even close. He’s been the only one balling out
Jaden and Naz aint having a good series?
Jaden and Naz play really good. It's just their role and skill set still limited. They're not built to lead the team. It's KAT and Ant's role!
When your star is unreliable, the other can only help as much as what jaden and naz did~
@@TheRiver1st I was just stating that because he said Naz hasnt stepped up like he aint avg 17 ppg in this series
Chris Paul proving why he doesn’t have any rings
Seeing Chris and bob talk hoops is refreshing - shows their true knowledge of the game without ignorance and agendas
"Chris Paul has been hanging out with Bob Myers" 😂
Chris Paul is wrong lmao. KAT is shooting terrible and keeps shooting. Lmao get outta here
Wow a casual working 8hrs a day telling an all timer point guard that he is wrong. Ok that's enough internet for today.
Idk. In case you haven't noticed, players are usually pretty dumb and are often wrong. Half the time they can't even coherently articulate what they're trying to say. Having enough ability to play in the nba doesn't make them right about everything they say.
@@jeromecharles21 lol. So he’s automatically right huh? Let’s see how the Wolves series turns out listening to people saying “keep shooting bro”
@@LikeABoss1211 youre right ignore that
Dallas left him open, so he needs to make the shots, or at least keep shooting when he was open. Dallas is smart enough to know who to left wode open, and in this series is KAT.
SAS slowly turning into Skip Bayless 😂
Bro they acting like ANT isnt forcing the offense. He isnt confident in his shot. Period.
I liked how cp3 and Myers were disagreeing with half head Stephen a
He clearly doesn't want luka as the face of the NBA
SAS compensating his Analytics incompetence with yelling. He's real flatearther of the NBA.
fLaT eArThEr
Me Is SmUrT mE wAtCh TeEvEe
The exchanges in this video is a perfect example of the quality of analysis basketball fans will get if you have people who actually know what they're talking about either because they played the game like Chris Paul or they managed a team like Bob.. Unlike Stephen A and Andrews..
Kevin Love was like Tiger Woods on the driving range
Why cant they just give props to Luka and Kyrie
LMFAO KAT as self proclaim best big man shooter in history while Dirk is watching how he shoot 3's. 😂😂😂😂😂
I'd love to see how good of a shooter Dirk would be with these new basketballs that suddenly turned LeBrick James into a sharpshooter...
U can telll sas don't like being wrong he was hoping chris paul would be on his side
Both have points which are valid. If Wolves get bigger separation before like the last 2 minutes it becomes harder to make up the difference off points to win for the Mavs. As long as the game stays close within the last few minutes Luka and Kyrie are capable of closing it out or taking the lead in short time.
You know what. For a second there I thought cp3 was wrong. Cause like if Kat is missing 3s then I would say stop shooting. But cp3 is right cause if Steph curry was having a bad series and missing a bunch of 3s what are you gonna tell him to do? Stop shooting? Bench him? I’m a Mavs fan and hoping for a sweep but objectively cp3 is right, if kat wants to get back into rhythm he’s gotta keep shooting. ( I just hope he don’t get back into rhythm until after we beat them haha)
Thats a dumb comparison curry is the greatest shooter ever and better by far.. kat is the best "Big man " shooter thats it its levels too it curry is also the #1 option kat isnt its edwards and curry 6"2 kat is like 6"11 he has no excuse for not dominating the paint curry a pg and be in the paint more than kat who is a center and its funny that cp3 believes that because he was part of the team that went 0/27 from 3 in a row and lost in the playoffs even tho it was a single digit game now we know cp3 told them to keep shooting 🤣
These "analysts" all pointing at the same thing over and over again and yet they are clueless. KAT in the paint is not a remedy for the Wolves because he does not know how to play in the paint. If things were as easy as having an adequate body frame for playing in a specific way all 7 footers in society would be NBA players.
SAS and ESPN pretending Ant isn’t just as responsible for the Wolves failures as kAT is something.
ESPN has the absolute worst basketball coverage. The other day when the Mavs went up 3-0 and Boston was up 3-0, the leading stories on the ESPN app were about Lebron James free agency speculation. Nuff said
This channel is a soap opera station, not basketball analysis
How can SAS argue with Bob Myers?! This is absurd.
ESPN interviewing NBA players to be TV analyst: Can you say "at the end of the day"?
NBA Player: Yes
ESPN: You're hired!
Bob myers is the best on espn so far!
KAT can't play in the low post if he's on the floor with Gobert. The paint would just be clogged.
Stephen A. should’ve asked CP3 about the Mavs-Suns blow out lol. What would he have said then 😂
This only shows how good Shai plays and OKC as a team....People were talking to much about OKC being the weakest 1st seed and really forget the Dallas being an amazing team playing really like a team...Just sweep the TW cuz we want to see Kyrie vs Celtics
Chris Paul sounds ridiculous! KAT is literally the Problem! I hate “New Media” they all hate to call out each other because they know they’ve messed up before and wanted someone to be nice to them about it when it happened. So they try to be nice to former athletes. Accountability going to be missed in the “New Era”
As soon as I saw the title I knew what "take" Stephen A was gonna give us 😴
He is settling for 3's. That's the point! If you are open 100% shoot it. KAT has daylight and he fires away when people are closing out already knowing he is shooting it. He could be attacking the closeouts instead of settling
KAT has postgame also but never goes on the block. Great big men are relentless and hit the block every time down if they have an advantage
Yall got to give credit to Kidd
As a Warriors fan, it's truly weird watching our former GM be a media figure now on ESPN... it's just weird.
Why can't both Bob Myers and SAS be correct? Why does it have to be one or the other? Bob is right, Luka and Kyrie are masterful in how they are getting to their spots and hitting shots. SAS is right too. If Towns makes at least 2 of those 8 missed 3s, the complexion of the game changes and possibly the outcome too.
Right exactly
@bolo5190 And as fate would have it, Kyrie had an off night, Luka was a bit off the boil, and Towns hits two clutch 3s in the 4th quarter, and Minnesota wins😅
Self proclaimed best shooting big men in the history of the game??? Bro you playing against Dallas! He can see Dirk while playing, watching him shooting bricks 🤣🤣😂😂
Imagine if Kyrie wins a ring and in his speech, he goes "i think Stephen A Smith needs to retire" then drops the mic.😮
Anthony Towns is big for nuttin’ and Edward’s is still growing / learning ….
Funny how every team that runs into the Mavs has a 'disappointing' series. It's almost like there is a reason.
Accept the Celtics 😅😅😅😅
Him saying “I’m the best shooting big ever” while Dirk being there is poetic. You have to make them in these games like Dirk did…
SAS thinks being louder than everyone makes you correct
I said it was a bad matchup for the wolves coming into the series because they were going to have a hard time guarding Luka and Kyrie and the mavs defense got way better after the all start break cause of pj and gafford and even lively stepped up
Even Keyshawn stopped hating on Luka, SAS is a weird freak hater no way he believes the words coming out of his mouth
Problem is not using Naz Reed. His prior game performance warranted him to be used INSTEAD of KAT. The prior game he made 7 or more 3s and in this game before being taken out - he was driving to basket and drawing fouls. He missed one of the free throws and was taken out - I question that rotation because KAT came in and started jacking up 3s -
I don’t know why as soon as I see Malika Andrew open her mouth I get annoyed and irked
It’s the constant fake smiling for me
Chris Paul as a a player i have respext for, but im upset i havent heard him do commentary before, dude knows how to get is point across withiut just being loud, mad respect
KAT is too inconsistent for Minnesota Ant can't do this alone Ant carried them in the Denver series even against Phoenix. right now he's tired idk see anyone besides McDaniels and Conley helping him, KAT has to be that second option and he hasn't been,
Kat was great in the first 2 series..
Lebron carried a franchise for 7 years straight and he was never “tired”
SAS hates when someone disagrees with him!
