Dont you ever try to compare someone to D'Rose that man did things Fox has never done and will never do.
Fox5 is the truth!
can’t believe people actually thought lonzo was better than him😂
🟣🔦
RELAX, THEY'VE JUST WON AN EXCITING GAME 1… NOW YOU COMPARING THEM WITH SUPERSTARS??? LET'S SEE THE RESULTS OF THE SERIES BEFORE CONCLUDING ANYTHING…
I cannot wait to see Kings squish these Warriors~~~
Aint worried a bit with the Warriors. Ill take Steph over Fox any day. Warriors in 6
Fox is a BALLER, and I love what he’s been doing. But idk if I’d go so far as saying he’s like MVP Rose
Warriors gonna win two straight, lose one, by take the next two games to win the series in 6 games. Mark my words
Fox is special for sure… but D.Rose was on another level
This is like a couple years ago when Donovan Mitchell had that big game and SA said he’s the best player in Jazz history and comparable to KOBE BEAN BRYANT 😂😂 It’s one game man slow down.
Sidenote: Perk saying Lyles, Harrison Barnes and Malik f’ing Monk are gonna out-cardio Steph and Klay is laughable. These guys are KNOWN for the pace and space and constant movement. Jeez.
When Stephen A said Fox can go around any body any way he wants to anytime he wants to it reminded me of Boobie Miles uncle tryna get him recruited 😂😂😂
Don't forget Mike brown coached the whole warriors team he knows the ins and outs
I'd compare Fox game to Prime John Wall or Brodie
Kings been like this the whole year
I will never disagree with anybody's opinion but every time I hear a drose comp I always say go watch his highlights dude was different
Usually I’m disappointed when the clip cuts out randomly but this time I ain’t mad at it lol
I’ve been telling people not to sleep on the Kings! A lot of people saw them as a weak #3, but play with them boys if you want to and see what happens lmao
As a die hard Kings fan it’s just great to see us as a segment on first take I love it !! Lol
A shot every time SA say special lol
Kings in 4 nobody on the Warriors can guard that man
Nobody:
Stephen A: he is something special!
Most likely this series will go 7 games. The rest of this series will be awesome. Golden state will probably win the series but the kings not going to make it easy on them
D-Rose was on another level. Sucks that injuries robbed us of "what could've been" but he did his thing in the short time that he played before the injuries.
Fox even said himself that D-Rose was a one of a kind player… Fox has been great this year. In some ways, better than Rose. In other ways, worse than him. Both are great players though and I think their pretty distinct from each other.
Seeing Kenny Beecham on First Take shows just how bad the other FT personalities are. He was so much better than Perk.
Gone be a bunch of 4-1s lol
Derrick rose couldn’t shoot 3s like fox. Ja morant is more like prime rose
Harden and embiid getting one would be sick
Lol you know mr huff puff will always bet against the warriors
I'm wit KP on what was most impressive. Celtics were definitely gonna blow out the hawks. Harden's performance was impressive because his game is known to take step back in the playoffs but he balled out in game 1.
KP still being the dubs' hater as usual😂
“They look like toys next to Embiid” 😂
Feels so good to hear the kings finally get some love
Not as athletic as Rose. D. Rose was on a WHOLE ANOTHER LEVEL
Knew he was going to bring up Magic Johnson AGAIN
Never compare anybody to D Rose. Rose was a certified killer and assassin the best pg of all time👑👑👑
Kings hungry.. warriors getting old
Must ESPN shows always Overreact to EVERYTHING
Send GSW home win 4-1
He is something special. He is something special. He is something special. No, Fox isn't anything special. He hasn't won a playoff series in his career and people are anointing him as the 2nd coming. Nope. I don't fall for hype, although it makes for good sports talk. If Sacramento doesn't reach the conference finals, Fox will once again be stranded in the desert of the NBA.
For Kendrick, everything is a “simple fact.”
Slow down now he not there but he good
Smh 🤦♂️ kings could have easily lost that game perk so What you trying to say
