No one giving credit to J Kidd. Guy’s bounce back has been impressive in the coaching world. Known as a HC who couldn’t make adjustments, develop, or motivate at Brooklyn and Milwaukee.

The kyrie now is not the kyrie from 3-4 years ago. So much more mature now.
I agree with the Luka part but let's be fair, the Kyrie thing was because he seem that he had other interest bigger than basketball at the time, he never said that it was a talent thing or a condition issue, but rather Kyrie's actions seem that he was more interested off the court rather than playing the game, which was only fair.
@Clement-if3ii you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. he's clearly matured and became a vocal leader and got his act together off the court and he's playing some of the best BBALL of his life. lol you dont know ball homie
I like watching you SA, but you know the game, and the fact that you don’t acknowledge Luka’s greatness is making you look bad man. Give props and respect when it’s due.
Dallas has solved the Minnesota problem for the other franchises. Have a good post player who can protect the paint and then KAT and Ant will settle for jumpers most of the time. KAT may be a “big man” but he’s too soft to be willing to go up against good post defenders. He didn’t have this problem in the 1st 2 series because Jokic and Nurkic aren’t good post defenders.
He does give credit to Kyrie. The whole argument of SAS is that Anthony Edwards motivated Kyrie to play even better than usual. And aside from some personal criticisms of him he might have voiced in the past, SAS has always emphatically praised Kyrie as a fantastically talented player. It's only Luka that SAS never gives props to. Every segment is some new display of mental gymnastics meant to simply disregard Luka's value and dominance. He barely ever even mentions him in a separate sentence, praising him personally than praising the group, or saying something explicit rather than implicit. It's so painfully obvious that SAS has a pretty big bias against white superstars. Which I think is understandable within the historical context of racism in the US, even in sports. But still, the bias is there.
Don't watch ESPN if Stephen A gets your panties in a bunch. The joke is on you for being ignorant enough to watch knowing what you're gonna get from the coverage about Luka and the Mavs from Stephen A.
For once, Stephen A’s take is spot on! When I heard Ant talk about guarding Kyrie after the nuggets series, I thought that was the stupidest thing I ever heard. The young man’s ego and pride got in the way and now he’s paying for it.
@@TYreLL0416 lmao are you his boyfriend? This man claimed to not listen but came to a video to say he disliked something as if he deserved a medal. This means he has too much time on his hands or he’s a doofus that needs likes over his actions
Yea I’m a black man & it’s annoying Luka is a beast kyrie a dawg & jokic should have 4 mvps…the last part doesn’t have anything to do with Luka but you get it I’ll give credit where credit is due
Facts agree with the comment above and the Jokic 4 MVP before Perk made it racial, and Luka have been ignored and treated like he was 40, and he's not one of those young stars that are taking over the league
Why do you think it's because of skin color? The negative play of Edwards and Kat is more intriguing than the great play of Luka and Kyrie. It's the media, negativity gets more views. There's no praise for Minnesota, why are you crying about them getting criticized
Kyrie should not be resigned, trade him, he's a franchise killer, no one can play with him, he kills the locker room...now he's the leader of the locker room???ok😂😂😂😂 they flip flop more that a dying fish
@@haydennyagah706facts! growing pains for the 22 year old. 3 players that elite at the age who actually won chips Magic, Kobe, Bird (Bird was slightly older but the point is there) It is nearly impossible to sustain the success ANT has had with little help from his other Star. That all said, SAS and crew should be on an apology tour.
I am a die hard kyrie fan, he is my fav player....but common man.... Give luka his flowers.... In your words... THAT BROTHER'S SOMETHING SPECIAL ...!!!!!!!
Kyrie & Luka BOTH have an "all seeing eye" Illuminati tattoo. And after the scripted Luka game-winner, Kyrie did the devil horns hand sign with both of his hand on live TV before they cut to commercial. Why would anyone be surprised that they're winning?
@@yrnia Absolutely not now I realize that Kobe was a friend to many but lets not mistake that for Mamba signing off on Kyrie's mess. As for them being in the same convo as players Kyrie is not near Kobe level same as Booker is not even Curry who has multiple rings, MVP, etc and actually demonstrates real leadership is not in Kobe class of legend. The only real similarity between Kyrie and Kobe is both have rings.
That’s still calling kyrie out by name, and then he said “it’s going to be fun”, fun for who??? Why give a dude like kyrie extra motivation to bust your behind?
@@jaydot4956 Ant was clearly saying that "it's going to be fun", in the way that I want to go against the best to become the best. In the previous two series, he has gone out of his way to become the defender on Durant, Booker, Beal, Jokic, and Murray, some of those defensive matchups might not have gone his way, but he wants to go against the best. Unlike other offensive stars, Ant isn't dodging the heat defensively, he wants to be the best two-way player in the league and you can only do that by guarding the best on defense along with your offense.
The sad thing is Ant is a chill dude, it's the media that's pushing this narrative. He comes to play and has a great mindset. Now we got eveyone hating on him becuase of a bs narrative.
@@Sam-fs8sxthe fans are the ones that started this “next Jordan” nonsense and the media just ran with it. Now all of sudden the same fans that were crowning him the next Jordan are blaming the media for putting too much pressure on Ant lol.
After he push Anthony Edwards to be the face of the league and the next MJ now he's it's because ANT opened his mouth? this guy just threw Edwards under the bus. LMAO ESPN crowning Edwards the "NEXT MJ" prematurely, gave the Kyrie Trade a "D" and lastly Told Kyrie he should "RETIRE". Now here we are. Bunch of 🤡
The media didn’t start the “next Jordan” narrative, it was the fans on the internet that started that narrative and the media just mimicked what they heard the fans saying.
How does no one acknowledge the best player in this entire series?? It's crazy to spend the entire segment about anthony edwards whose been playing poorly but give the mavs and luka their credit. Shannon knows how to but stephen a's euro hatred is clear
Bro when he pulled up for that last 3pt attempt in the 4th quarter my jaw dropped. Completely sold the game with that decision. I can't stand how so many of these players will just settle for a 3 ball
I love Kyrie, but I hate everyone except for Shannon thinking he’s the biggest reason they’re this successful. Does Kai bring them over the top? Absolutely! But Make no mistake, Luka is the biggest reason for the success. No if ands or buts. But these clowns except for Unc won’t admit it.
Respectfully, I disagree. Although Luka has been exceptional, it’s like he said himself Kyrie brings that calmness and maturity on the court. I think it’s been a total team effort and that’s what makes great basketball.
Nah it’s kyrie . His leadership and calmness during clutch moments or just when they need to stop the bleeding is unmatched. Luka is the best player but they needed physicality and a leader
@@andreawilliams8445 both Luka and Kyrie are needed, they are both clutch closers which means by having 2 of them the defense can't just double team one of them or the other is open, so when they tried double teaming Luka he can just give the ball to Kyrie and Kyrie will close out Timberwolves dont have that
This dispute about who has more credit is just ridiculous, they both are doing their thing and playing defense, that's what matters. Luka is their best player, but their opponents can't sleep on kyrie because he also can end the night real quick
Dallas is up 3-0 because of the greatness of Luka and kyrie stop making this about Ant , give Luka his flowers.Its all about race with this guy all the time , I don't care if you are black,white,brown,Asian wherever you are you deserve respect.
Wolves was a bad matchup for The Mavs. I love what Luka & Kyrie got going on. It’s Mavs vs Celtics in finals but I believe Denver would’ve beat this Dallas team
Games have been close in this series.. Without KAT showing up.. imagine if KAT wasn't Shooting all those bricks? (13% from 3)... Anywhoooo🙄... Boston is no match for Luca/Kyrie.. Mavs gonna win the finals in 5/6 games.. (Seeing how "KAT" was a no Show.. letting the mavs win the west)...
Kyrie deserves tons of credit and praise like they are giving him. How they are not doing the same for Luka who did his expected 33, 7, 7 (whatever it was) he also had 5 steals. The xenophobia thing looked just silly when I first heard it but now I am convinced it is out of control lol
Stephen A said Anthony Edwards is the face of the NBA. Now he blaming the 0-3 deficit “cuz of what Edwards said to Kyrie”. Stephen A might retire as the ultimate clown of media
They only talk about Ant and Kyrie but nothing about Luka lmfao Yes, based on the analysis of the transcript, there does appear to be a bias in the discussion against talking about Luka Dončić individually. The speakers primarily mention Kyrie Irving or other players such as Anthony Edwards when discussing the game, while Luka Dončić is often mentioned in conjunction with Kyrie Irving or as part of a duo. Here's a summary of the distribution of focus in the transcript: Luka Dončić: 1 instance where Luka Dončić is discussed without any mention of Kyrie Irving. (talking about how they put rudy gobert on him alone and he couldnt do anything) Kyrie Irving: 3 instances where Kyrie Irving is discussed without any mention of Luka Dončić. Other Players: Anthony Edwards is frequently mentioned, especially in the context of his performance and his comments. Other players like Karl-Anthony Towns, Jaden McDaniels, and Rudy Gobert are also discussed, mainly in relation to their performances and how they are being defended or are defending. Analysis: The transcript shows a tendency to mention Kyrie Irving more often individually, highlighting his leadership, maturity, and specific actions in the game. Luka Dončić is primarily mentioned alongside Kyrie Irving, rather than being the sole focus of a discussion. When other players are discussed, it is often in the context of how they are performing relative to Kyrie Irving and Luka Dončić as a duo, rather than solely against Luka Dončić. This bias suggests that while Luka Dončić is acknowledged as a key player, the narrative focuses more on Kyrie Irving's individual contributions and leadership. This could be due to the recent dynamics of the team or the particular points the speakers wanted to emphasize about the game and the players' performances.
Elite Competitors turn it into disrespect. At face value what Anthony Edwards said wasnt bad at all like you said but legendary competitors find anything anyone says as motivation even if they have to make it up themselves. The Waterboy effect I like to call it. He imagined every opponent was talking smack about Water. A direct metaphor to describe the mindset of a Champion player and team. Also Ant feeling himself and all the Jordan talk surrounding him you know that pissed Kyrie Iriving off.
the reason they’re up 3-0 is because Ant called out Kyrie? nothing to do with Luka even tho he clutched the last game and had 33 just like Kyrie this game.. smh. these dudes are clearly racist it’s hilarious lol

I agree with the Luka part but let's be fair, the Kyrie thing was because he seem that he had other interest bigger than basketball at the time, he never said that it was a talent thing or a condition issue, but rather Kyrie's actions seem that he was more interested off the court rather than playing the game, which was only fair.
@Clement-if3ii you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. he's clearly matured and became a vocal leader and got his act together off the court and he's playing some of the best BBALL of his life. lol you dont know ball homie
I like watching you SA, but you know the game, and the fact that you don’t acknowledge Luka’s greatness is making you look bad man. Give props and respect when it’s due.
He doesn't care what people think.He know he has his true followers.
"Job isn't finished" says Kyrie while up 3-0. That's the closest thing we have to Kobe Bean Bryant
Dallas has solved the Minnesota problem for the other franchises. Have a good post player who can protect the paint and then KAT and Ant will settle for jumpers most of the time.
KAT may be a “big man” but he’s too soft to be willing to go up against good post defenders. He didn’t have this problem in the 1st 2 series because Jokic and Nurkic aren’t good post defenders.
Soft? More like zesty af😅
SAS: The mavs are up 3-0 because of a post-game interview from last series 🤡🤡🤡
No just kat
Yes
Yes hel yes they are
He’s a clown. 🤡
He lost his way, he don’t watch games. Only highlights!
always makings excuses for ANT, can we just give credit to luka and kyrie?
He does give credit to Kyrie. The whole argument of SAS is that Anthony Edwards motivated Kyrie to play even better than usual. And aside from some personal criticisms of him he might have voiced in the past, SAS has always emphatically praised Kyrie as a fantastically talented player. It's only Luka that SAS never gives props to. Every segment is some new display of mental gymnastics meant to simply disregard Luka's value and dominance. He barely ever even mentions him in a separate sentence, praising him personally than praising the group, or saying something explicit rather than implicit. It's so painfully obvious that SAS has a pretty big bias against white superstars. Which I think is understandable within the historical context of racism in the US, even in sports. But still, the bias is there.
@@jvjjjvvv9157then it’s ant fault they’re losing. Sit him and tell him to shut up
Even Keyshawn Johnson admitted he did Luka wrong, just goes to show what a clown Stephen A is...
"MJ, KOBE, ANTHONY EDWARDS" - remember that? 😂😂😂
yall remember when SA Smith said kyrie should retire 💀
Stephen A is a joke
If you don't like him don't watch yet here you are 😆 😂 🤣 clown.
Oh you mean Stupid A Smith.
But a lot of people like him.And if he runs for public office which I think he will a lot of people will vote for him.
Don't watch ESPN if Stephen A gets your panties in a bunch. The joke is on you for being ignorant enough to watch knowing what you're gonna get from the coverage about Luka and the Mavs from Stephen A.
He is a entertainer
Kat and Ant: We don’t need anymore losing. We lost enough.
Luka and Kyrie: Kids have a seat and let me tell you a story
SAS on a apology tour😂
Mfer can’t stand the white boys running the league
For once, Stephen A’s take is spot on! When I heard Ant talk about guarding Kyrie after the nuggets series, I thought that was the stupidest thing I ever heard. The young man’s ego and pride got in the way and now he’s paying for it.
I've watched several of the Mavs games but this particular playoff season for the Mavs is on a different level!!!
I don't even listen to them anymore, I just open the video and dislike it. Simple as that.
That's funny, love it!
Still gave them a click and engagement. Funny how you give yourself a pat on the back over nothing accomplished lol
@@jrcrit8843He never gave himself a pat on the back. What are you talking about? It was a normal comment
@@TYreLL0416 lmao are you his boyfriend? This man claimed to not listen but came to a video to say he disliked something as if he deserved a medal. This means he has too much time on his hands or he’s a doofus that needs likes over his actions
SAS still can't give any applause & credit to luka, I've had enough of this clowns bias takes because of skin color.
Yea I’m a black man & it’s annoying Luka is a beast kyrie a dawg & jokic should have 4 mvps…the last part doesn’t have anything to do with Luka but you get it I’ll give credit where credit is due
Stephen a Is a disgrace tò basketball
SAS has clown opinon just like Skip bayless stop blaming skin color its annoying luka fans
Facts agree with the comment above and the Jokic 4 MVP before Perk made it racial, and Luka have been ignored and treated like he was 40, and he's not one of those young stars that are taking over the league
Why do you think it's because of skin color?
The negative play of Edwards and Kat is more intriguing than the great play of Luka and Kyrie. It's the media, negativity gets more views.
There's no praise for Minnesota, why are you crying about them getting criticized
They slandered Kyrie to give KD and Harden an out, time makes fools of us all
That last part was deep.
🤣 dude they did that to kyrie because he’s racist and couldn’t play because he didn’t get the vaccines? Wasn’t a basketball issue on the court.
Kyrie should not be resigned, trade him, he's a franchise killer, no one can play with him, he kills the locker room...now he's the leader of the locker room???ok😂😂😂😂 they flip flop more that a dying fish
If you hadn’t watched the game and just saw this segment, you’d think that Luka was by far the second best player on the Mavs
Luca and Kyrie versus Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown is the matchup we need. Battle of the duos
No way Young MJ, the new face of the league, is about tot get swept out the WCF 🤣
young MJ also got swept in the playoffs lmaooo
This actually proves he is young Mj ironically 😂
@@haydennyagah706facts! growing pains for the 22 year old. 3 players that elite at the age who actually won chips Magic, Kobe, Bird (Bird was slightly older but the point is there)
It is nearly impossible to sustain the success ANT has had with little help from his other Star.
That all said, SAS and crew should be on an apology tour.
@@haydennyagah706he ain’t have this team Anthony Edward single ain’t show up for 2 straight games now people wanna have excuses
Aa111
SAS may achieve the impossible and comment on every game in this playoffs without mentioning the best player so far lol
Came here to see if SAS finally gives Luka credit. Not surprised he didn't. It's okay Luka, keep shutting these people up and use it as motivation
They wouldn't have made it this far if it wasn't for Kyrie.. did you not hear Luka say out of his own mouth that KYRIE was the LEADER
I love how the comments never lie.
We already have the faces the league cemented for the foreseeable future. luka and jokic sit at the top.
You know... It's not illegal to give Dallas credit for the wins, rather than just saying it's Minnesota who hasn't shown up...
Stephen A Smith is pretending Luka is not all that
I am a die hard kyrie fan, he is my fav player....but common man....
Give luka his flowers....
In your words...
THAT BROTHER'S SOMETHING SPECIAL ...!!!!!!!
Stephen A is ducking giving Luka credit like Jon Jones is ducking Tom Aspinal

Kyrie & Luka BOTH have an "all seeing eye" Illuminati tattoo. And after the scripted Luka game-winner, Kyrie did the devil horns hand sign with both of his hand on live TV before they cut to commercial.
Why would anyone be surprised that they're winning?
Kyrie sounded like Kobe "The job's not finished."
Kyrie does not belong in the same conversation as Kobe.
@@I.am_Groot yes he does
@@yrnia Absolutely not now I realize that Kobe was a friend to many but lets not mistake that for Mamba signing off on Kyrie's mess. As for them being in the same convo as players Kyrie is not near Kobe level same as Booker is not even Curry who has multiple rings, MVP, etc and actually demonstrates real leadership is not in Kobe class of legend. The only real similarity between Kyrie and Kobe is both have rings.
Anthony Edwards said Kyrie was his matchup and it's gonna be fun. He never said what he would do to him. Stop the cap.
That’s still calling kyrie out by name, and then he said “it’s going to be fun”, fun for who??? Why give a dude like kyrie extra motivation to bust your behind?
@@jaydot4956 Ant was clearly saying that "it's going to be fun", in the way that I want to go against the best to become the best. In the previous two series, he has gone out of his way to become the defender on Durant, Booker, Beal, Jokic, and Murray, some of those defensive matchups might not have gone his way, but he wants to go against the best. Unlike other offensive stars, Ant isn't dodging the heat defensively, he wants to be the best two-way player in the league and you can only do that by guarding the best on defense along with your offense.
@@jaydot4956so what? Saying the name alone is a grave sin or something?
@@drewengel7073naw frfr people act super dumb.

The sad thing is Ant is a chill dude, it's the media that's pushing this narrative. He comes to play and has a great mindset. Now we got eveyone hating on him becuase of a bs narrative.

Good to have Udonis Haslem on the show. He was the ultimate boss on the court, he can become a great analyst on TV.
After he push Anthony Edwards to be the face of the league and the next MJ now he's it's because ANT opened his mouth? this guy just threw Edwards under the bus. LMAO
ESPN crowning Edwards the "NEXT MJ" prematurely, gave the Kyrie Trade a "D" and lastly Told Kyrie he should "RETIRE". Now here we are. Bunch of
🤡
The media didn’t start the “next Jordan” narrative, it was the fans on the internet that started that narrative and the media just mimicked what they heard the fans saying.
Facts!!
Really it was the fans who started it, they were calling Ant Jordan's secret son

How does no one acknowledge the best player in this entire series?? It's crazy to spend the entire segment about anthony edwards whose been playing poorly but give the mavs and luka their credit. Shannon knows how to but stephen a's euro hatred is clear

@@KAye633 Luka's their number 1 option clearly. The media makes it out like "kyrie carries the squad" but he's the second option on offense

Looking sharp UD excellent panel
Man SAS always interrupting people just stfu and give others their turn. Then just hates on Luka.

Well thats a lie he picked the mavericks on nightcap before the series started.
He been on Luka “baby bird” for YEARSSS. He picked the mavericks
Adam Silver told Anthony Edwards to take a dive...
The most they can do is try to not lose the next game... sweeeepp clean!!

I love Kyrie, but I hate everyone except for Shannon thinking he’s the biggest reason they’re this successful. Does Kai bring them over the top? Absolutely! But Make no mistake, Luka is the biggest reason for the success. No if ands or buts. But these clowns except for Unc won’t admit it.
Respectfully, I disagree. Although Luka has been exceptional, it’s like he said himself Kyrie brings that calmness and maturity on the court. I think it’s been a total team effort and that’s what makes great basketball.
@@andreawilliams8445right. Without either you lose but Luka is the catalyst
Nah it’s kyrie . His leadership and calmness during clutch moments or just when they need to stop the bleeding is unmatched. Luka is the best player but they needed physicality and a leader
@@andreawilliams8445 both Luka and Kyrie are needed, they are both clutch closers which means by having 2 of them the defense can't just double team one of them or the other is open, so when they tried double teaming Luka he can just give the ball to Kyrie and Kyrie will close out
Timberwolves dont have that
This dispute about who has more credit is just ridiculous, they both are doing their thing and playing defense, that's what matters. Luka is their best player, but their opponents can't sleep on kyrie because he also can end the night real quick
Man Sas cannot even pronounce Lukas family name right on a national TV. What a fin joke
Dallas is up 3-0 because of the greatness of Luka and kyrie stop making this about Ant , give Luka his flowers.Its all about race with this guy all the time , I don't care if you are black,white,brown,Asian wherever you are you deserve respect.
Yes of course but it's a backstory outside of Luka also
Wolves was a bad matchup for The Mavs. I love what Luka & Kyrie got going on. It’s Mavs vs Celtics in finals but I believe Denver would’ve beat this Dallas team
Edwards will learn from this experience and get better for next season. Same with OKC it’s growing pain!
Who else just loves this layout of three alpha males chopping it up, showing each other mutual respect, discecting the game?
👇🏽
What do you mean by alpha males? just wondering
what
They should’ve been comparing ant to Victor Oladipo not Jordan
Games have been close in this series..
Without KAT showing up.. imagine if KAT wasn't Shooting all those bricks? (13% from 3)...
Anywhoooo🙄...
Boston is no match for Luca/Kyrie..
Mavs gonna win the finals in 5/6 games..
(Seeing how "KAT" was a no Show.. letting the mavs win the west)...
good takes
Luka Doncic didn't care what poser Stephen A says, but is happy to make him and the others that diss him eat their own words.
Kyrie deserves tons of credit and praise like they are giving him. How they are not doing the same for Luka who did his expected 33, 7, 7 (whatever it was) he also had 5 steals. The xenophobia thing looked just silly when I first heard it but now I am convinced it is out of control lol
Mavericks on a winning streak against Timberwolves must be killing Shannon and Stephen A. 😂😂😂 Against next MJ.
Do you watch first take? Shannon has always given Luka his props.
Cmon-ANT is a better story-a better MJ-IT would have been better seeing the wolves win-instead of some Fat kneed Luca who cant even speak english
Perk too
Shannon always gave Luka props bro
Another person lying for likes 😂😂
Stephen A said Anthony Edwards is the face of the NBA. Now he blaming the 0-3 deficit “cuz of what Edwards said to Kyrie”. Stephen A might retire as the ultimate clown of media
They only talk about Ant and Kyrie but nothing about Luka lmfao
Yes, based on the analysis of the transcript, there does appear to be a bias in the discussion against talking about Luka Dončić individually. The speakers primarily mention Kyrie Irving or other players such as Anthony Edwards when discussing the game, while Luka Dončić is often mentioned in conjunction with Kyrie Irving or as part of a duo.
Here's a summary of the distribution of focus in the transcript:
Luka Dončić:
1 instance where Luka Dončić is discussed without any mention of Kyrie Irving. (talking about how they put rudy gobert on him alone and he couldnt do anything)
Kyrie Irving:
3 instances where Kyrie Irving is discussed without any mention of Luka Dončić.
Other Players:
Anthony Edwards is frequently mentioned, especially in the context of his performance and his comments.
Other players like Karl-Anthony Towns, Jaden McDaniels, and Rudy Gobert are also discussed, mainly in relation to their performances and how they are being defended or are defending.
Analysis:
The transcript shows a tendency to mention Kyrie Irving more often individually, highlighting his leadership, maturity, and specific actions in the game.
Luka Dončić is primarily mentioned alongside Kyrie Irving, rather than being the sole focus of a discussion.
When other players are discussed, it is often in the context of how they are performing relative to Kyrie Irving and Luka Dončić as a duo, rather than solely against Luka Dončić.
This bias suggests that while Luka Dončić is acknowledged as a key player, the narrative focuses more on Kyrie Irving's individual contributions and leadership. This could be due to the recent dynamics of the team or the particular points the speakers wanted to emphasize about the game and the players' performances.
ESPN is doing too much. Ant said that he's the one who will guard Kyrie when they play. That's all. He wasn't disrespecting Kyrie or whatever.
Elite Competitors turn it into disrespect. At face value what Anthony Edwards said wasnt bad at all like you said but legendary competitors find anything anyone says as motivation even if they have to make it up themselves. The Waterboy effect I like to call it. He imagined every opponent was talking smack about Water. A direct metaphor to describe the mindset of a Champion player and team. Also Ant feeling himself and all the Jordan talk surrounding him you know that pissed Kyrie Iriving off.
Why is that when Dallas wins, it’s the other teams fault for losing?
Karl Anthony "Best Shooting Big Man in History" Towns everybody
Jokic
My boys acting like they didn’t predict Minnesota would win 😂….
Shannon predicted Dallas
the reason they’re up 3-0 is because Ant called out Kyrie? nothing to do with Luka even tho he clutched the last game and had 33 just like Kyrie this game.. smh. these dudes are clearly racist it’s hilarious lol
Ky and luka unguardable,........ Add two good bigs lively and gaff plus a 3 pt shooter in pj .its a wrap bruh
