It’s funny how players talk so much smack about Steven A and most times he ends up being right lmao and most of the Knicks players will be traded if they don’t do anything this post season, including Josh Hart.
As a Lakers fan I do NOT want Denver in the first round.
Lebron is not winning a chip with James harden 😂 Luka and AR are both give him a way better chance
Knicks have no identity and their big man plays like a chihuahua.
If Lebron is willing to take a pay cut next season returning to the Lakers is a no brainer. They're already a 50+ win team this year and if they're able to upgrade their bench and defense next season they'll be even better
Nobody wants to see Lebron in Cleveland again. He's been in LA longer and will get way more eyes on him on a Lakers retirement tour like Kobe.
2:29 – Jalen Johnson
Yea let’s not worry about the opinions of the coaches and people who do this for a living and take basketball advice from a dude who talks vaguely about it
Knicks have a deeper bench and look worse than last year
Hawks will end knicks misery
Of course I stopped watching Stephan A and the first video I watch of him is being a clown.
There’s still time to get Giannis and LeBron to join forces with Jalen Brunson at New York.
no chqmpionship in clevlad stay on lakets king….❤
why is this loser "mad dog" or whatever tf his name is still on the show?
Knicks getting bounced out in the first round 😂
They got to fire brown and break this team up
This guy sounds drunk lol
Lebron james going back to Cleveland with all that talent, most likely Cleveland might have to trade off james harden or Donovan Mitchell and two other players to add, so they can have cap space Lebron
Facts knicks overrated bums early exit no leadership
LeBron is the 👑
Is going to Lakers vs Rockets in the first round. That LeBron and KD match is what people want to see. If the Rockets was smart they avoided the Lakers
600 points 100 assists think we have to move him to 9th on the MVP board. Looks like jaxon hayes just passed him.
People say the Knicks arent consistent but they actually are since they barely win against poor teams and dont even come close against playoff teams. The only outliers are the wins against the Spurs but I have a feeling that would change if they played again. Can't believe I once thought they could be contenders.
The knicks are the cowboys of the nba
SAS is just pure loudmouth. Shut up. Let them be and figure it out.
A 42 year old put you over the top yes LeBron is the GOAT every one knows it😮
You really thought the Knicks was nice😂😂😂😂😂😂
How in the world does the lakers have the same amount of losses as houston and Minnesota lmaooo. And they dont face the spurs anymore. Dude just yapping. And lakers won 50 games
This is going to be an entertaining postseason
Mad Dog clearly isn’t watching the Lakers. Since Luka joined them, they have only lost once to Denver with him playing, while winning 4 times. Clearly LA owns Denver. 😂
Yet ESPN moves the knicks up in your power rankings and the Lakers move down a spot.
ESPN is clowns.
For the final time. LUKA DOES PLAY DEFENSE. Steals. Taking charges, rebounds. Give the guy his props.
1:11 sound like Morgan freeman rite there 😂
The spurs and thunder might not play their player's against the nuggets if the playoff seeds are already locked in. Nuggets might get those teams resting their players for the playoffs
Josh Johnson Hahaha😅
SAS pretending like hes actually watched the hawks 😂😂😂
Josh Johnson
Should've never got rid of Thibs, bulls fans still miss the winning, and defensive minded culture he brought
Knicks is a 1st round exit the way they are playing
Stephen a hairline gone be at the back of his head soon 😂
Luka Doncic is now on pace for winning his first NBA MVP and NBA CHAMPIONSHIP🚨🏆
– More PPG than SGA
– More RPG than LeBron James
– More APG than James Harden
– Same SPG as OG Anunoby
– Better FG% than Cade Cunningham
– Better 3PT% than Donovan Mitchell
Luka doing it all for the Lakers🙌🏻🪄
Bye-bye New York first round of elimination
Pls keep the pressure on knicks. They get me so tight
Oh God, LeBron is a liability…he's not making any team a contender
why the fuh
his drunk nuggets has the easier schedule compared to the lakers
I don't answer rhetorical questions 😂😂
The reason the hawks are surging this season isn't the fact that they got rid of Trae Young it's more about the fact of all the talent they added..multiple players including Nikiel Alexander-Walker and McCollum ntm Jalen Johnson is finally healthy..now imagine all that with Trae
The New York Knicks about to lose in the first round against Josh Johnson and the Atlanta Hawks
I feel like losing in the playoffs this season would be more impressive than playing another year and winning a chip.
Stephen a says it’s not personal, then proceeds to make it personal and talk about Josh Hart for 10 minutes. Grow thicker skin Stephen a Mr sensitive!
