Does JJ not appear on First Take all the time . . . ?

I’m going to be honest, performatively talking about denying your producers request on television is still like on that same level of scripted. Also, I guess someone should tell JJ the purpose of a color commentator during a game.

In the regular season? Durant and Booker
In the playoffs? Jokic and Murray

Redick loves the ‘holier than thou’ stuff. It’s Giannis and Dame, by the way.
EDIT: to spell his name properly

JJ is that dude that tries to pick up chicks by making sure they know he’s not like all the other guys.

We all know JJ’s brand is “I’m the ACTUAL smart and reliable talking head”. Dude is the same sauce, different flavor

Lmao at this sub crying for more first take level debate while at the same time pretending to be above espn
You guys can feel superior about calling Redick out for feeling superior. I’m on that next level feeling superior for calling you guys out for calling Redick out.

Reddick is sure full of a lot of takes for not being about takes lol

Best duo isn’t about stats, its about chemistry, and Jokic/Murray clearly have that in the bag. If it was about Team with the 2 most skilled players or whatever, then maybe it would be different. Since when do Tatum and Brown consistenly run “Get” actions and pick apart other teams instead of taking turns playing iso ball?

I’ve started watching the NBA two years ago. I love basketball, but because I’m not American and haven’t played it much growing up I don’t understand its intricacies and all the Xs and Os. I would much rather have a color commentator actually give his analysis on what’s happening during a game than comparing who has the better legacy ad nauseaum. I’m all for drama and hot takes, but this is a sport.

Sure, JJ can be performative but he’s also right.
A lot of you put the commentators in a lose lose situation. No matter what they do, it’s always garbage.

Honestly, until a duo actually accomplishes anything its silly to rank them. In this list I’d put Jokic and Murray at 1 since they’re hot off a championship, AD and LeBron because they have a ring together, the Jays at 3 because they’ve made the finals, and its a wash between gianis/dame and booker/durant. We have evidence of how the first 3 pairings have played together and just pure speculation for the other 2 outside of a single playoff series with booker/durant and a handful of regular season games. If you want to move AD and Lebron down a peg due to injury concerns fine but I still stand by it.

It’s Giannis and Dame only because I consider Dame to be much better than Murray. Joker and Giannis are a wash.
