Stephen A Calls Gil DELUSIONAL
Stephen A Calls OUT GIL For Being Delusional when it comes to the Los Angeles Lakers’ chances in the NBA Western Conference.

Lakers ain't title contenders
Someone pull up when Stephen a smith predicted the NBA finals and was wrong for like 7 years in a row 😂
This just shows how worthless coaches are in the nba
More than 4 teams better.i disagree with him on that part
Clippers might be aight
How does he never mention JOKER
SAS is right
7 head forgot about the nuggets
Box office .
Lakers didn’t even have a big man last year 😭😭😭 literally been playing rui the 5 the last 3 years and Vanderbilt. Stephen A is an idiot
Lebron always gasses by the time they get to the playoffs. It has happened 4 seasons in a row now
Stop the Durant mess
Darvin Ham did better but no one defending him lolll Politics 😂😂😂
I’m not buying this Dallas hype at all
"another legitimate scorer"? bro they got Luka and Bron and Reaves…..what they need is a good defensiive big (or bigs) for the defensive end of their game
Gil be gobbling LeBron with no gag reflex 😂. At least he’s consistent tho.
Nuggets were nvr mentioned. Or the Clippers they made some good moves
😂😂😂😂
Houston might miss the playoffs. Laker might miss the playoffs. Honestly we are overrating these old players. KD haven’t done a thing since leaving Warriors. What makes people think he is gonna make Houston a championship contender? Also we need NBA owners to take control of the team. NBA has becoming a very very bad product. What makes people think it’s OK to pay a basketball player quarter of a billion dollar to play basketball? I think eventually these craziness needs to stop. I don’t mind paying a basketball player millions of dollars due to short careers and entertainment value. However these value does not equal to quarter of a billion dollar. Don’t forget. The league and the team make the players. Not the players. A player is nothing without a platform. However they are acting like they are controlling the league. That will stop very soon. Lakers treatment of Lebron is a sign that owners are taking control back.
SAS brings up every West team except Denver, typical. This is the guy who has NEVER voted for Jokic as MVP. Not once.
SAS hates LeBron so much 😂
Clown
Title contender where? In season tournament?. Bron is 74 and luka cant stop a cool summer breeze. Why steven A talking about KD like hes 25. And why is he talking about ant like he has won anything? Hes sucked in 2 straight WCFs and laughed about his own piss poor play on live tv like a lil clown…OVERRATED shot chucker…. lol the conviction when he says KD is HILARIOUS THO.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 KD is a 7 foot cone on defense. Still an elite shooter….and? Sas a clown.
JJ is a bad coach terrible.
They don't another scorer lol,they got bron luka and AR,they need a center
Claxton would be perfect
They dont need another scorer they need 2 more bigs. Hayes needs to go so thats why they need two more
If nobody gets injured , Warriors coming out the west , Steph Curry is him , he jus needs Jimmy a full season 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Dallas? 😂
Brother Dallas? Kyrie won’t be back until January and will be less of the player he was. AD is injury prone and cooper flag isn’t going to lead this team anywhere for atleast 2-3 years and that’s if he develops properly.
JJ Reddick is what? Gtfoh.
Bro, Denver is the best team in the entire NBA. SAS looking racist AF right now.
OKC Denver Minnesota GS are all much better teams than the Lakers. I can see them easily knocking off Houston. No team with KD as the best player is going anywhere
Another scorer?? Can’t agree maybe more shooters but they have enough ball handling scorers.
they aint going to not damn finals even with all the whistle in the world
Steven A is a serious KD fan
SAS is basically a cold take generator with the volume stuck on high and the logic set to “absolute dumb fuck.” With all the salary dumbs and firings at espn, it boggles the mind that moron kept his job.
Gil is a LeBron dic rider
Lakers don't need another scorer lol
Lakers have a bunch of scorers lol
They just need defense , which is 0 now
Luka on a revenge tour though
If they keep RJ and he starts they should heavily stagger his minutes to lead bench units
Oh but Steve Nash shouldn't have been hired? Please explain smith
Bro said Ant man not
going no where like them bigs wasnt kikling our ass
"As soon as Day 1 starts, we're #1. …that delusion hits."
Spoken like a true Lakers fan.
