IDK but Isaiah Thomas should start a league for lil' brothas called the SBA, smaller basketball association for the vertically impaired, no guys over 6 feet, he should give back to the lil' brothas since he knows how it feels to be belittled.
tonton heredero spending has absolutely nothing to do with what he said. 50k a year over the coarse of 20 years is $1 million. 1,000,000/20=50,000 It's math, and the answer doesn't change unless the numbers in the equation change.
Noah Rogers this is what happens ,, when u fail to take the oath ..... and sign n blood. there entire league and media turns on you. this is not just basketball related this is if u want to be a star. and embraced by the illuminati. Jesus is the only way . stop fooling yourself.
LeBron fans before the season: "Isaiah Thomas is just as good as Kyrie offensively." "Kyrie never averaged 29" "Isaiah Thomas was top 5 in MVP" "Cavs won the trade" "Wait till IT comes back"
He’s still only at about 70% but the Cavs couldn’t wait for him, he may never be more than 70% of what he was. He should’ve started back in the GLeague, and then came off the bench for awhile but his ego wouldn’t let that happen.
Damn gotta feel bad for this man from dropping 50 in a playoff game after his sister passed away to backing up a rookie all because kyrie requested a trade
That's so stupid, Kyrie isn't the reason why Isaiah is shooting terrible, Kyrie isn't the reason why Isaiah is short and can't play defense, Kyrie isn't the reason why Isaiah is a cancer in the locker room.
@@BallKnower I don't believe he was stating that Kyrie was the actual reason for IT's downfall. He's just pointing out the impetus for how he ended up in Cleveland. It's even more interesting now that he's an afterthought and possibly out of the NBA. - - However it happened, it's a significant rise and fall story.
Defense all about effort. Chris Paul only like 2 inches taller than him and is one of the best defenders in the entire league. Thomas gets hit by one screen and gives up on the play.
In my view, I'd say the "Max" Isaiah should be getting is between $10-$15 million a year at most. Definitely not worth $20 million or above realistically speaking based on his height liability on defense and having to only rely on offense depending on if he's in a good coaching system or not.
Bre Mills I honestly don’t know if he will even get the mid level..what’s the one below that called? The 5 million one...I mean Lou will just got 8 mill and rumors are free agents this summer aren’t going to cash in what so ever cuz of the stagnant cap
With The Quickness I'd say Europe is where it's at and they can have well run gov programs in a capitalist society. In the US 35000 won't get you a 1 bedroom in most states in the 3rd world that's a mansion. At least liberals try too look at the full context w/o making general statements
It's amazing last season everybody love Isiah Thomas saying he was a top 5 point guard in the league and deserves his money now a year later everybody hating on him and thinking he want be in the league in a couple years it's amazing how people turn on you
All this talk about being 5'9 my brother is 5'4 and met I.T. He's more like 5'7 5'8 on a good day. But it don't matter. Mugsy was 5'3 and his strength was defense. Defense is all about effort. It does not matter the size. There is a reason draymond can guard way bigger players. It's heart and determination.
Matt Thygeson Bro idk about you but in the basketball world being 6”6 at the PF position your basically a midget, if your 6”6 you go guard Porzingis or Anthony Davis and tell me if you feel tall when you guard them
My boy IT deserves better than this. I mean sure he's the worst defender in the league by far, insists on starting though he'd be the perfect 6th man, is egotistical, selfish, only playing for a contract, blames teammates and coaches when he's the worst on the team, is a locker room cancer, hogs the ball, and now he can't even play iso offense anymore because he's damaged goods. Sure all that is true, but
Skip: In my 25 years of covering the nba going way back to the bulls... I’ve never seen anything quite like this!!! Shannon: so here’s the thang skeupp
Why is Shannon now trying to downplay I.T. when at the beginning of the season, he was so hyped and saying the Cavs just switched the same type of PG?!? SMH!
IT just came off a serious injury so it doesn't surprise me he ain't been playing well recently. I still think he's a great scorer who can easily drop 20+ ppg. Just needed some more time.
The problem is his attitude. Sure he is not 100% healthy. But why act like he's the one carrying this team? Why always pointing finger, calling on teammates, always being a loud mouth full of himself? I don't feel sorry for him. He is now a journeyman officially. Try China or Lithuania or somewhere else. But even those might think twice signing a damaged goods like IT who also now a locker room distraction.
O ESP I don't believe those reports saying he calls out teammates and blames them for his own misfortunes. Like the one where he accused Klove of faking sickness? That's ridiculous.
OKC Reppin lol dude Isaiah was the one who said publicly that HE was the one who asked Love about leaving the game. Check the facts. IT has been the one saying all these things himself...he literally spoke out against the team or coach after every game?? Where u been?
18 of 19 was against trash teams they started playing better talent. Only people that don’t really know how to separate good wins vs playing bad teams believe this team was actually good in the first place
Damn why is everybody hating on IT? He didn't even have time to build any chemistry with the Cavs. It's almost like they're trying to diminish any kind of value he has.
Chief24Greatness Saluskin *Did you never see any post game interview with I.T? Or the fact that he led a tirade against Kevin Love who is the Cavs second best player while he himself is playing like a G leaguer.*
G-League? get real dude smh IT can still play well with a good coach, Tyrone Lue is just horrible. Are you a LeBron fan like Shannon Sharpe? I'm just curious.
Lakersfansince95 Are you serious? You sound ridiculous, IT is looking for the biggest contract he can get, there's no way he would intentionally ruin his chances over locker room antics. He was just blunt with his answers in those interviews just like anyone else would be, he just gets more hate because he ain't LeBron. People like me ain't biased and are able to use this one thing called logic.
They said that you cant be 5'9 and slow since IT lost a big part of his explosiveness due to his hip injury. And that is true. Look at Nate Robinson for example. Better athleticism and explosiveness but at most times a sixth man. But he lived with that and did a tremendous job. IT needs to understand his current situation. Nobody will give him a max but if he plays good and shows good leadership he can get a contract worth 10-20 million a year.
Thank you Shannon and Chris. Isaiah Thomas had a great season last year in Boston. Great season. But that's not him right now...he gotta bring more to the table these days.
Sit down, Biyombo eh it's his catch phrase or it's just how his speech is, just like SaS is always talking about putting something into perspective every time in a debate, at this point I don't think they honestly realize they do it
Akbar Chillin yeah everythong went down fast for him but he now has to look himself in the mirror amd realise what the situation is, put your ego aside and concentrate getting back to where he was. but i have doubts when he only one hour after the trade complains about coming off the bench, if his mentality doesnt change quickly this could get even worse...
people seriously forgetting what made isaiah the 4th quarter king. literally for 3 months straight was winning tight games in 4th quarters scored 29 in the 4th against the heat i believe. i agree with shannon on alot but people really downplaying how electric he was last season when he hhad a team that believed in him
Oswaldo LN 8 mill is definitely a big pay day in our eyes, but it's the NBA. The owners make billions of dollars in 1 season, 8 million is chump change for them. Also, after paying your agents, marketing team, etc... You only have probably like 6 or 5 mill left. Also, players lifestyle call for more money spent a year. From security, plane tickets, housing and transportation. 8 million is a lot of money, but when you are a star like I.T. or some of the other well known players. You can't live cheap. It sucks, but that how it goes for them. People look up to them like they are Gods and others are jealous.
Man the media really pulled a 180 on thomas. Did broussard really just say he's not even a boderline all star. He's obviously having a bad season with a lot of it having to do with injury, but people are acting like he's been playing this way for like a whole season. He only played like 20 games! I really hope he can get back to form because everyone in the media is making it sound like anyone can average 28.9 ppg on the right team.
The reason they're blaming IT is because Lebron is the face of the league and until he retires, everything will always be tailored to make him look good and his teammates look bad. Which is the reason Kyrie left. I like Lebrons game, but the media makes too many excuses for him.
Anonymous Anonymously You're right about that. But people are acting like he singlehandedly brought down the Cavs. They were falling apart way before that. You give this roster to Pop and they are at worst 3rd best team in the league. Maybe if Lue could coach at all this situation could have been worked out
Guy past his prime due to be a free agent that is bouncing around from team to team? Sounds like it’s time for the Knicks to step in and give him a max deal!
Chris is right. Isaiah needs to zip the lip and be a team player to stay in the league. Truest words were never said. Isaiah made a big mistake taking on Kevin Love and trying to be a team leader when he just arrived on the team.
I'm a Kevin Love fan. I was saying that Isaiah made a mistake taking on a major star like Kevin (this is aimed at Isaiah not Kevin). It's a mistake because Isaiah had been new to the Cavs and acted like he was a team leader. Big mistake in getting along with people.
Earl Rogers Earl Rogers that's what you get when you play under the wing of LeBron James. Kyrie never got credit until he was traded and Isaiah is suddenly finished ?!? I feel sorry for the franchise who he gets traded too next because it will be the LeBron show !!!
Nathan Shane but they praised Iverson for that... even after they implemented the whole “carry” rule because of him, he was still doing it every single play. Not taking anything away from A.I but players who are that short need to handle the ball that way, call it what you want but those two are some of the greatest undersized scorers I have ever seen period.
recinese bro the system was literally “give the ball to Isaiah and get out of his way” , Boston was never a top 10 ranked offense, barely top 20 for that matter. The Celtics LITERALLY could not score without Isaiah on the floor , idk what team you were watching
Love used to average 24 points the season before he came to the cavs. Now he averages 17. He was way different. So no love was never this player lebron turned him into
Salsainglesa that's cause each guy had they own agenda rose wanted to prove to people he worth big money Thomas wanted to ball hog and get a max contact wade wanted to prove he still can play lebron was the only guy concerned with winning now he has players that don't have agenda just want to play and win watch the difference now
Just imagine Paul George and LeBron waits until the last day of free agency to sign to the Lakers. But the Lakers had I.T in the room about to sign and then magic steps out and then back in and tell IT that they will no longer need his services. He ends up in Charlotte playing for the veterans minimum. I would be crying laughing and sad at the same time.
Venonous Villain G League now but yes he deff needs to humble himself. Once he posted that back the brinks truck picture while he was injured it was a wrap. Then the way he was talking while on the Cavs having only played 15 games you would think he was averaging 25+ points and 5+ assist a game.
Michael Simmons Exactly! He had no business throwing blame around the locker room knowing that he himself is a liability on defense. Then has the nerve to say that he’s not coming off the bench for LA knowing that Magic is set on making Lonzo the face of the franchise. Like bruh, be lucky that any team is willing to take you in!
Venonous Villain Yeah Magic Johnson and the Lakers organization will not tolerate anything negative. He can't dictate what he wants or bash the coach other players or the organization.
I don't like how they're throwing Isiah under the bus for cavs sh!tty org... i hope he proves everyone wrong... Tristan is the biggest liability wit the cavs....
BMode32 whether lebron commits or not each player needs to go out there and do their job... who wants to play with players only working hard based on incentives... look at Tristan...they gave him 40M & he got a ring... now he doesn't even care anymore lebron needs players that want to win...
Well this is the nba look who much heat Steph curry took after losing in the finals and was the mvp so it comes with being a nba players making millions
THERE IS NO BIGGER LeBRON fan that yours truly. Not Nick Wright. Not Shannon. NO ONE. With that being said, IT gave his body, mind, heart & soul for the Celtics. The man is INJURED!!! He's not 100%!!! Shannon, I never thought I'd say this about you, because you are largely ENTERTAINING, but I'm losing RESPECT for your insensitivity bro. These guys are HUMAN BEINGS trying to feed their families. Chill bro. Laughing at the expense of a person's CAREER is neither funny, cool, nor professional. Say what you want about his attitude, but give IT credit for trying to salvage his career and by coming back at less than 100%. I hope someone points this comment out to you and that you read it. You are GREAT at your second career, but try to keep in mind that IT has two little boys watching everything you (and other "So-Called" PROFESSIONAL SPORTS ANALYSTS) say about their dad; who's only performing at a small percentage of his ability and keeping it 100 on what he sees from within the locker room. INJURIES ARE REAL AND SOMETIMES CAREER ENDING. GIVE the respect he or anyone fighting for their lives - DESERVE!
Devortrey McMurray are you going to ignore how he tried to get the whole team against Kevin Love? Or how much ball hogging he's been doing? To get respect you give it. Man's saying he's on same level as Bron. His ego is bigger than what he offers.
Devortrey McMurray also sure he's injured. So this should've been the time when he makes others around him shine. But naw. This guy wants to take stupid shots. Smh.
Is it me but I'm starting to think this is some form of bullying? Shannon seems to be complaining about Isaih Thomas on every segment. I don't get it. He wasn't the reason the Cavs were struggling. Just don't get him keep riding tgis dude
Walker Ron this is the criticism max players get. He wants to be a Max player & super star then there's no such thing as bullying in the media. All super stars get criticism.
Shannon is used to star RBs stealing his glory. Guys the same height at as IT. He should only talk football gtfoh. Same craziness in saying Julio is better than AB
Will LeBron be a Laker in 2019?
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED idk
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 No.......
ruclips.net/video/-K7fCQlUhj0/видео.html
Skip and Shannon : UNDISPUTED Nooooo
IDK but Isaiah Thomas should start a league for lil' brothas called the SBA, smaller basketball association for the vertically impaired, no guys over 6 feet, he should give back to the lil' brothas since he knows how it feels to be belittled.
"I've never seen anything quite like this"
Skip says this like every other show 😂
Emeka Ekwulugo lol he does 😂
Its only because skip is "mannerful to a fault" lol
Ay bruh, people see new things everyday. Nothing is ever the same.
I bet you believe that in your heart of hearts lol
Emeka Ekwulugo facts
The NBA is passing IT around like a blunt
Emmpeccable Eats I wanna pass you around 😅😅
A roach blunt god damn
jarid warren L
He's more of a joint than a blunt
Definitely a Roach..... You need tweezers to get a good hit off Isaiah Thomas
Broussard called it 👍
he did, that was a dirty call with palinka and magic taking thomas off bron's back lol
Can’t believe ESPN let this man Chris Broussard go
It’s so sad 😭 I.T.’s family will starve and not be able to afford a home with only $8 million
$1million dollar is enough for me to live happily for the rest of my life lol
if you just spend of course there'll be nothing left after a few years, but if you're smart enough you could double/triple it.
tonton heredero doubling or tripping it is NOT the same thing as living off of $1 million!?
That's living off of 2 or 3 million.
tonton heredero spending has absolutely nothing to do with what he said.
50k a year over the coarse of 20 years is $1 million.
1,000,000/20=50,000
It's math, and the answer doesn't change unless the numbers in the equation change.
His wife rich
Why is Chris always yelling? I just know Joy’s ears must be hurting
Reformed1 he’s a snitch by trade so he’s naturally loud.
Football is my favorite sport, but damn the NBA is just filled with drama every week that makes it so entertaining
Noah Rogers hahaha
NBA storylines are better for sure
Noah Rogers this is what happens ,, when u fail to take the oath ..... and sign n blood. there entire league and media turns on you. this is not just basketball related this is if u want to be a star. and embraced by the illuminati. Jesus is the only way . stop fooling yourself.
Slayton701 LOL
Slayton701 Yes they need LeGods blessings 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Did they mention he is 5'9?
Avery Chung he's 5'7
He is 5 foot 8
Eventually IT will be joining Nate Robinson for overseas ball. I'm sure IT wishes he could take back the Brinks truck comment.
LeBron fans before the season: "Isaiah Thomas is just as good as Kyrie offensively."
"Kyrie never averaged 29"
"Isaiah Thomas was top 5 in MVP"
"Cavs won the trade"
"Wait till IT comes back"
Brian Cheng we were wrong granted Kyrie wanted to go
Brian Cheng 😂 😂 😂 😂 Right lmao
Brian Cheng: that was BEFORE they knew he had a hip injury ... and afterwards they decided to keep hope alive < that's a position outlook.
Those are all fax lol until he came back
He’s still only at about 70% but the Cavs couldn’t wait for him, he may never be more than 70% of what he was. He should’ve started back in the GLeague, and then came off the bench for awhile but his ego wouldn’t let that happen.
finally Shannon openly says "we miss kyrie"
ngede nkiondalle of course we do!?
I miss kyrie too.. Together him and bron could beat gs but separately I don't think they stand a chance
But here's the thaaaaannng skiiiup
Spot on
I can’t feel sorry for 8.5 million a year. Sorry
factor in lifestyle expenses...
Goosey those are choices tho it is very easy to live making 8.5 mil a year
Damn gotta feel bad for this man from dropping 50 in a playoff game after his sister passed away to backing up a rookie all because kyrie requested a trade

Defense all about effort. Chris Paul only like 2 inches taller than him and is one of the best defenders in the entire league. Thomas gets hit by one screen and gives up on the play.
Oscar Ice yessss!! Ive been saying it for ever
Oscar Ice 2 inches Big differance
Yea Cp3 is barely 6'0 and be guarding center and I think IT just got lazy and use to Boston helping him cause he use to try on defense
chris paul the man
3 inches is a lot smh.
May not get the 100 mill, but 8 million per year is better than 99% of the people in the entire world!
In my view, I'd say the "Max" Isaiah should be getting is between $10-$15 million a year at most. Definitely not worth $20 million or above realistically speaking based on his height liability on defense and having to only rely on offense depending on if he's in a good coaching system or not.
Bre Mills I honestly don’t know if he will even get the mid level..what’s the one below that called? The 5 million one...I mean Lou will just got 8 mill and rumors are free agents this summer aren’t going to cash in what so ever cuz of the stagnant cap

Gino Johnson exactly bro
Gino Johnson humble pie is what he need. He thinks he was on the lvl of LeBron remember?
Lmao you want us to still be loving him when he's playing like trash 😂😂 I don't think so
Lmao you want us to still love him when he's playing like trash 😂😂 I don't think so. No NBA player gets that privilege

Matt Thygeson Bro idk about you but in the basketball world being 6”6 at the PF position your basically a midget, if your 6”6 you go guard Porzingis or Anthony Davis and tell me if you feel tall when you guard them

SuntanSuperman8 Soundin' like a pro simp. 👊🔥
Yes. She. Is.
facts
Well, except Skip. That guy is the definition of a hater. If he hates you, he hates you till kingdom come.
Let's be a clear...IT is a good player but he's no Allen Iverson. At 5'9" he's a one way player.
Chris’ comments have aged extremely well.
he was literally spot on lol kinda scary
THAT LIL' MAN COMPLEX IS STARTING TO KICK IN & NOW HE THINKS HE 7 FT. TALL!!😂😂😂
If LeBron goes to the Lakers in free agency he gon make Isaiah leave again 😂😂😂😂
D J I.T expire contract
Called it lol
IT better somehow get that bag or Floyd kicking him out the money team.
bustdetector 😂😂😂 facts
They buried that boi even more.. Lol
My boy IT deserves better than this. I mean sure he's the worst defender in the league by far, insists on starting though he'd be the perfect 6th man, is egotistical, selfish, only playing for a contract, blames teammates and coaches when he's the worst on the team, is a locker room cancer, hogs the ball, and now he can't even play iso offense anymore because he's damaged goods. Sure all that is true, but

Bob Saget LOL, the sarcasm is exceptional!
Skip: In my 25 years of covering the nba going way back to the bulls... I’ve never seen anything quite like this!!!
Shannon: so here’s the thang skeupp
peroski Peroski II
The first thing IT did after the trade was check the schedule to see if LA will be playing in Boston. He's still chasing that tribute video.
Lmaooo
Hahahahahahahahahahah
Why is Shannon now trying to downplay I.T. when at the beginning of the season, he was so hyped and saying the Cavs just switched the same type of PG?!? SMH!
Ian Talley on everything
Ian Talley Thats the difference between a hypothesis and a conclusion mate
When thesis is polar opposite of the outcome then opinions and facts change.
Because no one knew he was gonna be this bad
Ian Talley because I.T attitude sucks. Have you not been listening?
I.T is becoming The Basketball Horror Story
I'm sure Paul Pierce is happy for the trade too, now it's only his night.
Shannon Sharpe, you truly are a legend... "I.T said I don't get why they traded me for Kyrie?" Really Dude... LMAO... Shake n Bake em Kyrie....
IT just came off a serious injury so it doesn't surprise me he ain't been playing well recently. I still think he's a great scorer who can easily drop 20+ ppg. Just needed some more time.
OKC Reppin The NBA ain’t got time for Isaiah Thomas. Simple.

OKC Reppin facts
The Cavs were on a 18 game winning streak...... soon as Isaiah gets back they have all kinda locker room issues and they lose games
Luck Fove wrong they started losing before he came back. Stop changing the facts around
Ty so the Cavs didn't lose more games when IT came back from injury?
Yea they won 18 of 19 the he come back and was taking bad shots you can't do that it mess up everybody rythem
NATE DIAZ wrong
18 of 19 was against trash teams they started playing better talent. Only people that don’t really know how to separate good wins vs playing bad teams believe this team was actually good in the first place
Paul Pierce won the trade...
The WhiteBoard underated comment lol
The WhiteBoard they don’t love him like that lol
Joy low 🔑 showing off the goods... 👀👀
How tall is Isaiah, don't think I heard it
Lmao. That man isn't taller than 5'7"
He might be 5'7 5'8 he's slightly taller then Floyd but idk if Floyd is legit 5'8
They said it in the video 😂
sarcasm dude - lol
9'5
Damn why is everybody hating on IT? He didn't even have time to build any chemistry with the Cavs. It's almost like they're trying to diminish any kind of value he has.

Chief24Greatness Saluskin facts he's not with the in crowd
He had no intention of building any chemistry. He tried destroying the Cavs from within and got traded. Why are ppl like you so surprised?
G-League? get real dude smh IT can still play well with a good coach, Tyrone Lue is just horrible. Are you a LeBron fan like Shannon Sharpe? I'm just curious.
Lakersfansince95 Are you serious? You sound ridiculous, IT is looking for the biggest contract he can get, there's no way he would intentionally ruin his chances over locker room antics.

People like me ain't biased and are able to use this one thing called logic.
Cracks me up everytime shannon says "5'9".. lol
why does he keep mentioning his height .... he didnt say that last year ...
Franson Ferguson yeah they did, they were saying he wouldn’t be able to be successful in the Po bc of his height
They said that you cant be 5'9 and slow since IT lost a big part of his explosiveness due to his hip injury. And that is true. Look at Nate Robinson for example. Better athleticism and explosiveness but at most times a sixth man. But he lived with that and did a tremendous job. IT needs to understand his current situation. Nobody will give him a max but if he plays good and shows good leadership he can get a contract worth 10-20 million a year.
Thank you Shannon and Chris. Isaiah Thomas had a great season last year in Boston. Great season. But that's not him right now...he gotta bring more to the table these days.
Skip, my man, how many times you gonna open your take with "I've never seen anything quite like this" , its getting a bit ridiculous.
Sit down, Biyombo eh it's his catch phrase or it's just how his speech is, just like SaS is always talking about putting something into perspective every time in a debate, at this point I don't think they honestly realize they do it
Sit down, Biyombo the man may be legally blind
true true
I hope it goes better IT in LA. He is still human and can make positive adjustments. I feel a littlw sad for him.
Akbar Chillin yeah everythong went down fast for him but he now has to look himself in the mirror amd realise what the situation is, put your ego aside and concentrate getting back to where he was. but i have doubts when he only one hour after the trade complains about coming off the bench, if his mentality doesnt change quickly this could get even worse...
Akbar Chillin he’s a wealthy man. He’ll be fine in life
Next Cavs Practice
Ok, so when we go around the room, say your name and one interesting thing about yourself
Ice Cream Truck stop stealing
SOLO facts
Lmaooooo
W
people seriously forgetting what made isaiah the 4th quarter king. literally for 3 months straight was winning tight games in 4th quarters scored 29 in the 4th against the heat i believe. i agree with shannon on alot but people really downplaying how electric he was last season when he hhad a team that believed in him
just wait. he’s gonna fall off eventually. he was a system player under Brad Stevens.
And a system built specifically to mask his flaws.
If that's true he's gonna be a great fit with the Lakers, they need a consistent bucket
He was thriving in an environment where he had the chance to show off his skills, he doesn’t have good chances with these bozo’s he’s played for
Rename This show to Shannon and skiuup
8 million dollars isn't a big pay day? I feel 0 sympathy for him or any other NBA Player.
Oswaldo LN they greedy

It sucks, but that how it goes for them. People look up to them like they are Gods and others are jealous.
King Rex615 then taxes the moma and them
1D4ever how much is the question? Also, if we tax them more the 1% of our economy should do the same.
Man the media really pulled a 180 on thomas. Did broussard really just say he's not even a boderline all star. He's obviously having a bad season with a lot of it having to do with injury, but people are acting like he's been playing this way for like a whole season. He only played like 20 games! I really hope he can get back to form because everyone in the media is making it sound like anyone can average 28.9 ppg on the right team.
Nathaniel Lashley Agreed. The guy's been pulled through the mud since he came back. His comments haven't helped him though.
The reason they're blaming IT is because Lebron is the face of the league and until he retires, everything will always be tailored to make him look good and his teammates look bad. Which is the reason Kyrie left. I like Lebrons game, but the media makes too many excuses for him.
Anonymous Anonymously You're right about that. But people are acting like he singlehandedly brought down the Cavs. They were falling apart way before that. You give this roster to Pop and they are at worst 3rd best team in the league. Maybe if Lue could coach at all this situation could have been worked out
Chris Cash yep.. bingo
He said wasn’t a perennial all star, meaning someone who’s been doing it for multiple years.
Stop using him being 5'9 as a reason he playes terrible defense. Its been guys his height or shorter that played WAY better defense than he has
Chris Fellows
Who?
Chris Fellows Who?
Chris Dodges Muggsy Bogues
Chris Dodges muggsy and nate
bEASToUTtHEbOX Muggsy Bogues!
8.5 million..oh I feel so bad for him ..
Guy past his prime due to be a free agent that is bouncing around from team to team?
Sounds like it’s time for the Knicks to step in and give him a max deal!
"I've never seen anything quite like this " skip's opening line errday
Joy😍
Lol been meaning to come back to this vid after LeBron went to the Lakers. But Chris Broussard was absolutely right
Joy stop it. You’re too much! DAAAYUUUUUM!
Chris is right. Isaiah needs to zip the lip and be a team player to stay in the league. Truest words were never said. Isaiah made a big mistake taking on Kevin Love and trying to be a team leader when he just arrived on the team.
still blows my mind how you can blame KLove, 2nd best player on the cavs and one of the nicest dudes in the league...
I'm a Kevin Love fan. I was saying that Isaiah made a mistake taking on a major star like Kevin (this is aimed at Isaiah not Kevin). It's a mistake because Isaiah had been new to the Cavs and acted like he was a team leader. Big mistake in getting along with people.
I hope Isaiah proves everyone wrong !!
Earl Rogers Earl Rogers that's what you get when you play under the wing of LeBron James. Kyrie never got credit until he was traded and Isaiah is suddenly finished ?!? I feel sorry for the franchise who he gets traded too next because it will be the LeBron show !!!
Lewis Allen he won’t sadly teams not paying him a max and won’t build around him best bet he has is to come off the bench
Shannon always gives great feedback
They Gave the mans 15 games to do something coming off a 7month injury. SMH Cavs always gotta have somebody to blame
They blame him cuz it’s his fault
When I watched Isaiah in Boston, NOBODY in the entire league could guard that man... They are shitting on my man Zay smh
Luis Cabrera maybe the system in boston was that real
He carried and travels every time man.
Nathan Shane but they praised Iverson for that... even after they implemented the whole “carry” rule because of him, he was still doing it every single play. Not taking anything away from A.I but players who are that short need to handle the ball that way, call it what you want but those two are some of the greatest undersized scorers I have ever seen period.
recinese bro the system was literally “give the ball to Isaiah and get out of his way” , Boston was never a top 10 ranked offense, barely top 20 for that matter. The Celtics LITERALLY could not score without Isaiah on the floor , idk what team you were watching
iT ain’t ever getting that bag kinda sad 😭
I.T. is the scapegoat... I thought James made everyone better, included Isaiah, Rose, Love, Crowder, j.r., they all suck around the king
Salsainglesa Love and jr have always been the same players.
Love used to average 24 points the season before he came to the cavs. Now he averages 17. He was way different. So no love was never this player lebron turned him into
Chris Brooks It’s different when you’re the only scorer on your team. He played with non-scorers in Minn so of course he’d put up better numbers.
Cap Lewis exactly. Even bosh went from like 25 with the raptors to like 15 with the heat.
Salsainglesa that's cause each guy had they own agenda rose wanted to prove to people he worth big money Thomas wanted to ball hog and get a max contact wade wanted to prove he still can play lebron was the only guy concerned with winning now he has players that don't have agenda just want to play and win watch the difference now
Swear I forgot what the topic was about because I was looking at Joy the whole time
GhettoJesus
Pretty weird
Cause you a simp
GhettoJesus SIMP
You're a thirsty simp
Lmaooooooo
Damn Joy. Damn. Best part of the show and she ain't say a word.
Harlem World 🤢
Just imagine Paul George and LeBron waits until the last day of free agency to sign to the Lakers. But the Lakers had I.T in the room about to sign and then magic steps out and then back in and tell IT that they will no longer need his services. He ends up in Charlotte playing for the veterans minimum. I would be crying laughing and sad at the same time.
My man Broussard spit straight up facts🙌
Why tf Chris Broussard on every damn sports talk show in the world
Secure the bag
Man.. imagine if they'd get IT on the show
IT was big in LA, in Hollywood. A lot of people loved that movie.
Christian Joel Cabrera You mean E.T??? Dumb
Joshua Black nope. IT.
After hearing what happend to IT and what went down in Boston this kinda... feels bad.
IT should be thankful for any team willing to pay him 8mil next season.
O ESP he needs to sign a one year deal
If IT doesn't keep his mouth shut, he's going to end up playing in the D League
Venonous Villain G League now but yes he deff needs to humble himself. Once he posted that back the brinks truck picture while he was injured it was a wrap. Then the way he was talking while on the Cavs having only played 15 games you would think he was averaging 25+ points and 5+ assist a game.
Michael Simmons Exactly! He had no business throwing blame around the locker room knowing that he himself is a liability on defense. Then has the nerve to say that he’s not coming off the bench for LA knowing that Magic is set on making Lonzo the face of the franchise. Like bruh, be lucky that any team is willing to take you in!
Venonous Villain Yeah Magic Johnson and the Lakers organization will not tolerate anything negative. He can't dictate what he wants or bash the coach other players or the organization.
man played 15 games after an injury and now all of a sudden he a bum?
IT got to prove himself again
Its sort of too late, he had to do it this season and he isn't.
Even if he does next season and the next. He will be too old to get "paid".
Gin-Nius. But he's not fully healthy
Yo they low key hate I.T.
Dingbat Avenue high key
IT should go back to the Kings. He’s not gonna get his way with Magic running the LakeShow nowadays. Luke won’t let IT destroy this team either.
He'll be exciting for some small market team next year.
Rob Austin You mean the big 3 next year , ice cube league
I also agree though,
Damn Joy I'm on my Nofap streak lol force is strong haha
ii know right
Apparently IT is 5’9”
This show is faaaaaaar better than First Take. Not even close. I'm officially a Shannon and Skip fan.
I don't like how they're throwing Isiah under the bus for cavs sh!tty org... i hope he proves everyone wrong... Tristan is the biggest liability wit the cavs....
Kristmaz808 and JR Smith I’m tired of him hitting shots 1 day then going 0 for 10 the next
steven they can't get anything for JR they got him for nothing... 😂😂😂
BMode32 whether lebron commits or not each player needs to go out there and do their job... who wants to play with players only working hard based on incentives... look at Tristan...they gave him 40M & he got a ring... now he doesn't even care anymore lebron needs players that want to win...
They need to get rid of Tristan and Jr....they not reliable
Straight bucket of trash
mans not even healthy and talking down on him like his season last year he wasn't ballin
sean12899 that's the past he's getting older and he's always been trash on defense
he's 5'9 physically he cant play d and he's not fully healthy but talking about him like he's mediocre aint right
Well this is the nba look who much heat Steph curry took after losing in the finals and was the mvp so it comes with being a nba players making millions
Every second show, Skip is starting with: "I've never seen anything quite like THIS..."
chris broussard saw exactly what the lakers were doing to get lebron and he was completely right
I just thought about that and it was 100% true 😂😂😂
chris broussard steph curry when he old
More like ty lue
Reuben Ahmed That's what I was thinking😂😂
Ty lue for sure.
God said "Let there be light" and Joy was born.
Mr Tibbs fr
GhettoJesus
Both of you guys need to try to go outside and talk to an actual woman. God damn
Mr Tibbs SIMP
L
Now IT is trash after playing 15 games for the Cavs ??? 😂😂😂
Are the cavs gonna have a tribute video for a IT?? Lmao
lmao!!!
petty kyrie Somebody already made one. Lol youtube it
Thank you, Joy.
Lord have mercy
Boston misdiagnosed his injury. He just had a bad roll of the dice and him doin all that talking while on the cavs didn’t help
Oh NOW YOU APPRECIATE KYRIE HUH SHANNON?!!!
Chris "my sources are telling me", broussard 😅😅😅
Chris Broussard speaks the truth!
Broussard actually got one right. Lakers were tryna lure LeBron & it worked
02:39 Chris Broussard called it
isiah going back to celtics next season and coming off bench, just like how he was a year ago.
he being backup to Kyrie while Celtics cleary showes they don't believe in IT, his ego won't allow that
THERE IS NO BIGGER LeBRON fan that yours truly. Not Nick Wright. Not Shannon. NO ONE. With that being said, IT gave his body, mind, heart & soul for the Celtics. The man is INJURED!!! He's not 100%!!! Shannon, I never thought I'd say this about you, because you are largely ENTERTAINING, but I'm losing RESPECT for your insensitivity bro. These guys are HUMAN BEINGS trying to feed their families. Chill bro. Laughing at the expense of a person's CAREER is neither funny, cool, nor professional. Say what you want about his attitude, but give IT credit for trying to salvage his career and by coming back at less than 100%. I hope someone points this comment out to you and that you read it. You are GREAT at your second career, but try to keep in mind that IT has two little boys watching everything you (and other "So-Called" PROFESSIONAL SPORTS ANALYSTS) say about their dad; who's only performing at a small percentage of his ability and keeping it 100 on what he sees from within the locker room. INJURIES ARE REAL AND SOMETIMES CAREER ENDING. GIVE the respect he or anyone fighting for their lives - DESERVE!
Hate to say it because Shannon is entertaining but in general you do have a point and anyone with morals and a conscious should agree
Isaiah's attitude is his on fault .....
I agree with you mostly but when you start talking in a new tm without proving yourself and then pointing fingers the respect anyone had 4 u is gone.
Devortrey McMurray are you going to ignore how he tried to get the whole team against Kevin Love? Or how much ball hogging he's been doing? To get respect you give it. Man's saying he's on same level as Bron. His ego is bigger than what he offers.
Devortrey McMurray also sure he's injured. So this should've been the time when he makes others around him shine. But naw. This guy wants to take stupid shots. Smh.
Is it me but I'm starting to think this is some form of bullying? Shannon seems to be complaining about Isaih Thomas on every segment. I don't get it. He wasn't the reason the Cavs were struggling. Just don't get him keep riding tgis dude
Walker Ron this is the criticism max players get. He wants to be a Max player & super star then there's no such thing as bullying in the media. All super stars get criticism.
Isaiah was talking way too damn much and not producing.
a team rides or dies with their PG - Isaiah was a massive reason why the cavs were struggling if not the main
Shannon is used to star RBs stealing his glory. Guys the same height at as IT. He should only talk football gtfoh. Same craziness in saying Julio is better than AB
Freddy Kruger Awesome insight.👌
Danny Ainge traded IT when the team won the only playoff game against the Cavs without him.
