"Bradley Beal ended up looking like a Washington Wizard" 😂
😂
You can never leave your team even though you left.
Those fake stats in Washington Wizard
😮
thats a huge insult
"he barely took a trip to the bathroom for the Los Angeles Lakers" 😂
Why Stephen A violate Molly like that at the end lmao😭😭😭
It's wild how the narrative with Molly has changed. People loved her when she came in, then they seemed to hate her, and then they loved her again. She just kept her head high and kept working. It's good to see.
Agreed
People loved her at first because she was pretty
Then they hated her because she constantly kept interrupting Stephen A and Max
Now they love her again because she doesn’t mindlessly interrupt and actually provides value when she does have a point to add. She also jokes around with the debaters a lot more now.
Happy to see her keep improving.
Why does nobody ever mention Amare Stoudemire???? He was bringing NY back to respectability before Melo even got there. He took us to the playoffs after a however many year drought. Put a piece of respect on that man name lol.
Flash in pan
Amare➡️. Mr. Glass
Amare took a paycheck. Simple as that
I love Amare as much as the next guy but when the knicks got him he was already used goods; dude had knee problems and wasn't the same. Sure he did his best helping them out but lets not make a claim he was bringing them back to being respectable, that was Melo that did that with his elite scoring.
Loved watching the amar'e's knicks
Suns should’ve never let go of CP3
Yo Stephen a shooting his shot and then violating Molly bout them seats 🤣
The ending was the best..... Stephen A hitting on Molly :)
That was a flagrant foul by SAS 😂
The Brunson burner is just getting started
Is that what we’re calling him?
@@firstname2022 it’s what I like to call him. He’s has a few Nick names. Or just HIM
@@firstname2022yes
The lack of media attention Denver gets is insane 😂😂
Non-American white players will never get the attention they deserve
Can’t really even blame ESPN . Lakers , knicks ,Celtics ,Warriors (big basketball markets) make far more views. People don’t seem to care about them except people living in Denver😃 those other teams are worldwide . Coming from a lakers fan living in Germany btw😅
@@ekene3116 I mean what is there to talk about with the Denver nuggets? They won yes and they are moving on to face the Twolves. I think the bigger story is the disappointing exit about the Suns and about the Lakers.
Watch other channel😂
If they set up a dynasty then the media coverage will come with that. Just look at the chiefs before and after mahomes. Btw as soon as bron leaves LA, no one is talking about the lakers like this.
7:27 stephen a like that 🤣
SAS: 🖐🏽 Molly. Do you notice the colors he's wearing today? 👉🏽
Windy: Oh no 🫠
SAS: 😏👍🏽
Lmao im dead 😂😂
I am sure Molly has put a smile on Stephen A’s face many times
Lmaooo what does that mean?
@@migueljaques6780Glock Glock 3000 bud
Stop reading perversion into everything and making up bs
Did u see that last segment at the end? She made him cheese before
@@JusVibe_02 that means nothing
6:21-6:30 is why Windy is the goat. No smile, no emotion, just pure execution on probably the funniest bit so far this year.
Great informative video!! Do one for the Warriros too. Their situation is tricky cause they've got the assets but not the cap space + Klay free agent
i like this format
Fans gonna support who they like, and Knick fans been starving for winning team!!❤❤👍💪💪💪
Yesterday at dinner when I was done eat9ng, I just said "LeBron James". The waiter nodded his head and took my plate. He KNEW I was finished.
😂😂😂
😅😅😅Good one
How are those lgbtq restaurants?
SMH I hate that I laughed as hard as I did at this
Definitely a lgbtq bar @@xavierb9061
Should have kept the 2020 team that won the bubble championship
💯
Brunson about to get the super max
We really miss Dr. Jerry Buss he always had good players on the Lakers. He would not have a coach like the Lakers have today.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
SA, Tell Molly I love her❤
KD made the same mistake TWICE in a row... in Brooklyn when he went there with Kyrie, they had some good pieces and assets to compete. However, they gutted the team and destroyed their depth in that Harden trade. Same thing here in Phoenix, if it was just adding KD to Booker and keeping other pieces or making sensible trades for more depth, they'd be good. But nope.. they went ahead and got Beal. It's that third star trade that sinks those teams.
In a nutshell
Very sensible take...nice one! right on the dot.
I've become a Brunson Burner fan. Never been a Knicks fan b4 him.
The days of superteams are over putting stars together and think that will get u a chip is over need to draft well and get pieces that fit your style of play. Would love to see Booker in a Knicks uniform
I think the suns need to find a team looking for a star to move beal too. Booker and Beal are not point guards and can't facilitate. Move beal to get a 3rd star at a different position or too get great role players. Trade nurkic to get great role players. You build a better team around booker and KD. They gotta get a good point guard that can facilitate, defend and shoot and low usage. I think there option for that 3rd star are ethier vuc, Towns, or zion.
1) Beal should come off the bench, subbing for KD and Book as required. The big three should not be on the court at the same time. 2) Rotate Nurkic with some other center. 3) Rotate Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale with Bol Bol and Eric Gordon depending on who’s hot that night.
Can we please get higher than 720p for YT exclusive videos? 4K please?
SAS needs to give Brian a slot to be on weekly. He’s great
Since he left GSW , everything been ⬇️
She is so playfully coy!
windy be high ashhhh lol
Windy knows his shi*, love this dude.
Always wanted to see Myles Turner play with AD, get a more experienced coach but it's going to be a long and tiring summer with these Lebron segments.
Lavar Ball is KING 👑. HE was right. Lakers will never win 🏆 without Lonzo. BBB. Trade AD for Gelo and Melo asap 💯
youtube should take away your ability to comment on basketball ever again
@@freshprodx wym bro? You know it’s a fact the NBA is rigged. They got rid of the ball brothers bc they release the shoe for 💲500. Since then it went downhill smh
@@internetbeef😂bro it’s guys like you…..🤡🤣😂
😆. Both are injury prone and the thirl brother is a kleptomaniac
I like Windy’s perspectives
Julius Randle made 2 2nd All NBA teams in the last few years.
Love Brunson but Randle gets no respect smh
Ur absolutely right. Knicks actually starting winning when he first got to New York.
@@bgizzledaoneit’s not really about respect. True we started winning again with him, but we work better with the team we have now.
The addition of Brunson proved we needed a leader who doesn’t let failures in the game disturb his drive to win
@@khamikhoward5962that's not true . We are legit championship team with Randle. 25ppg 9rpg 5apg and allstar this season before he got injured. Brunson alone needs help from another legit threat!!
Save the off-season talk for the off-season.
Somebody please make a Gif of Stephan A giving the thumbs up😭
People blame suns big 3 like Bron and Ad didnt just win 1 more game. Not easy building team around duo when nuggets have duo and complete starting 5
The suns where actually supposed to do something this year the lakers can’t shoot and there to old only the media had the lakers doing anything they got really lucky making it to the conference finals last year
Players on team USA to get bounced before Jalen Brunson: Lebron, AD, Bam, Embiid, Durant, Booker, Steph, maybe kawhi, and probably haliburton when the Knicks smoke the pacers in round 2.
This is a general statement. There’s no correlation in Jalen Brunson and most of those players lol. Yeah Brunson is great, but if Brunson went against most of those players in round 1, I’d say he would be the one out early.
Some of those players have a ring. Brunson.......
Okc will win nba title this year
We don't Talk about Losers while we're in the playoffs!!!!!!
Beal gotta go and get some two way players and a decent point guard for him....maybe 🤔
DLo needs to go back 2 the nets...😮😅😊
Reaves should go to Denver honestly, Joker will enjoy playing with him and he can be a secondary point guard for Jamal.
For who?
Randle made all nba second team
I knew I wasn’t tripping 🤔
And 2 time allstar 25ppg 9rpg 5apg this season through 50+ games played!!! How
Quickly they forget°
Last year was just fools gold for Lakers.
After WCF everybody thought we were in good place for next season. False prediction and understatement by front office. Rui and Austin was just players for a series. Gamble on D’Lo and „coach” was just criminal.
I wish LeBron would leave but unfortunately it will not happen. I hope next season LeBron and AD will remain healthy and with smart roster construction and right coach we will have a chance to go at it again. Hopefully
I wonder what ppl consider a bigger failure for KD his time w/Brooklyn or his time thus far w/Phoenix
Actually a better question would be… what do ppl consider to be a bigger failure between being swept in the first round by the Celtics who he was favored to beat OR being swept in the first round by the Timberwolves who he was also favored to beat?
Clippers want bronny 🔴🔵
For the love of god stop mentioning my Knicks when any star loses on their team. We good with how the team is constructed.
The way Laker fans always scapegoat tf out of D-Lo? I would ABSOLUTELY opt out if i was him, out of spite.
STFU 😂 How is he a scapegoat sir? He’s supposed to be the 3rd best player on the team and he literally scored ZERO POINTS IN A DO OR DIE PLAYOFF GAME.
How is he a scapegoat sir? He literally averaged less than 15 ppg for the series, that’s even less than Austin Reaves. Not only that but he averaged less points in this series than he did the entire regular season. So please explain to me how is he a scapegoat????
Masai Ujiri and the raptors about to sneak in again
BRUNSON IS HIM !! but we can’t forget about randle he made us relevant and interesting years before brunson came 🫡
Lakers 2003-04 is very much in top of that list: O'Neal, Bryant, Karl Malone, Gary Payton, Derek Fischer ... and Phil Jackson
What type of question is that Molly? Of course the Suns have it the worst. Not even close. Cmon now.
Carmelo... ehh.
Acquiring Bradley Beal was really bad. It was a bad deal when it happened. That deal means you are stuck with him and have to trade KD or Booker. But Beal is the third best player on the team, but he closer to Nurkic than he is to Booker and KD.
bruh.. he literally just got there 😅
Bradley beal salary is too much..he is not a caliber player.
Phoenix going through what Utah went through two years ago in rebuild mode
Lakers have a good team, run it back, if Dlo opts out they have enough money for someone else. 20M get u 2 good players or 1 "star".
Rebuild around brony
LGK🧡💙
Booker to the Knicks?
Jalen Brunson has to Test Free Agency! He is gonna get payed!!!
Brunson is the biggest star in New York since Patrick Ewing.
Demar rosen
Brunson’s next contract will be 5 years 300 million
Here we go sas creating a narrative! Devin will never leave Phoenix
excuse me brian, julius randle made second team 2021
Randle was all nba second team in 2021
Molly and Stephen A finally made up😂
The nets with the trio of KD , kyrie and harden wasn’t much better than the trio in Phoenix
Lakers played a very competitive series against the defending champs where they led every half and took two game winners to beat them. Denver’s rolw players are just way better than what the lakers have. Meanwhile, the suns got completely dismantled and embarrassed
SAS always hearing wrong information
Booker loves LA. Booker adored Kobe. Booker is half-mexican. Booker as a Laker. Bingo.
Keep dreaming lolol not happening most players DONT WANT TO LIVE IN A FILTHY CESSPOOL TRASHY CITY LIKE LOS ANGELES
Lakers will be back next yr there’s a good storyline brewing in the nba next year
Molly def letting Stephen a slap
It's out in plain sight 😂😂
Does Stephen a actually think the Knicks are going to amount to something? 😂
I mean they've gotten this far, why not
@@goinham5855 if Orlando can almost sweep them on the season then they won’t even win the eastern conference much less a western conference series
In the east. Yeah.. they could.. who is really dangerous to the Knicks besides the Celtics..
@@burkluca7738 playoffs are different from the season hate to tell you
@@goinham5855 I had no idea
Durant and lebron should team up
No cap
Fact 💯
I like this. But how would it get done?
On a podcast, maybe. Not on a team
I'd rather have curry, lebron + A.D
lakers off season is easy trade dlo and austin reeves and hope for injury free season
if Vanderbilt and cam reddish were healthy Lakers can win it all
lol ur delusional
@@AnonymousUser-ss2qr last year they were in the western conference finals and never lost any game by more than 6
you are just a fan of a different team you have no details
SUNS WILL COME BACK WITH THE SAME TEAM NXT YEAR
If the Suns trade Booker they would basically be rebuilding because no team is trading their star player for him, they tryna pair him with their star player lol and KD and Beal not getting you anywhere so they might as well tear the whole team down
KNICKS GOTTA GO GET DEMAR NEXT YEAR
Lets talk about the winners. Offseason is for this BS
Phoenix needs a rebuild. I would trade all 3 and start over. No combination of these players can win a chip. Denver and Minnesota and rest of the west are too good.
The Suns messed up when they traded Chris Paul…with Chris Paul 9/10 they would’ve been a top 3 seed
Doesn’t matter where Durant ends up he ain’t winning another ring idk why yall saying he should go to another team
Soo we not gone give Jeremy Lin his flowers? Yes short lived but still...
OKC will give 4 first round for Booker
I'm not a fan of either team I can't stand either team but Phoenix is not going to go for that they care for Devin Booker a lot they're not giving him up nice try and the only way they might even consider consider that it just for looking at from a fans point of view they might consider it perhaps if OKC would have to part ways with either SGA or Jalen Williams they would have to part ways with one of those two and a number of pics
Fire Vogel, but no mention of Ham by Stephen A. Classic..... Wonder why he wants Vogel out but didn't mention Ham?
Vogel will be fine
Im so tired of the Randle disrespect he is a 2nd team, all NBA player and all-star . Even before brunson got here . Love Brunson, but come on now
Is Russell worth it? When people show you who they are believe them. Get him outta there!!
Jalen is not one of the greatest Knicks. He only been there for 2 years. He has to win a ring this year or play 4 more years.
RUclips episodes are better
Booker to the Knicks is just stupid especially when you have Brunson and Hart
Stephen keeps talking about the Knicks, where’s Perk? Fans, players and front office of the Knicks all hate this dude…
If the Suns trade booker there will be no suns fans. I'll stop being a fan of the suns and just go wherever booker goes
