no one is saying Amen should take Jalens spot. Jalen and Amen have good synergy in their transition game. Amen will probably start over jabari or fred.
w franz + paolo, we got a baby Dirk and baby Melo on the same team haha
Alex hoops incoherent rant about Franz not making enough mistakes tells you what you need to know. Playing like a top10 player but he needs to play riskier like Trae Young? Makes sense coming from an OKC GLAZER.
Yo, who is this? Amen hater get him off his platform. He don’t know what he’s talking about. Amen is the best player in the NBA right now. JJ Reddick after he got whooped last night. Went on live TV and said he is in the one percent of all the one percent Top athlete in the world What do you mean he can’t shoot you can’t shoot do you play in the NBA? Did you get a deal or contract? I don’t think so. If you can’t shoot the ball you shut up. If you can’t make the starting lineup shut up you guys out here trying to talk down on a player because you were wrong the pics you picked in the beginning you idiots and we all see it.
dude makes it look so easy haha
Thanks for having me on Ryan, appreciate it! Great conversation!
Appreciate you taking the time, Jordan! Always fun talking hoops
@BeyondTheRK no problem, anytime! Likewise!
Everytime Lebron and the Lakers lose a game, i am ecstatic!❤
she’s cute on the right
def bittersweet watching the klay game, glad the captain had a good game and only slightly gladder the warriors got the w over the mavs. no matter how it went down klay"s legend is cemented in the bay!
Goga is him.
Great discussion! I loved the multiple context mentions.I greatly dislike snakes but how could I dislike Zaza Pachulia? Steph has a great case as the 🐐 offensive player and Draymond has an argument for top 3 defensive player of all time but Klay was essential for the dynasty. The end wasn't kind but he should always be loved in the bay. Great stuff guys!
@@joshurl5651 appreciate you Josh!
If Franz was playing then like he has been to start the season, they would've won this series. A Magic-Knicks semi would've been so much fun, what a shame it was.
No wonder most of the bad is from the game at Memphis. They looked tired and lacked focus.
Steph is the man! Great episode
Lets Go!!!!!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🏀
Great video 🎥keep it up
Mid-Range master
He is HIM.
Paolos is better no slight to melo at all
Smoking crack man. How about the kid gets a scoring championship first before making such a statement
Crack sniffer
I think it’s crazy they have the same move set but Melos speed within the move sets is trippin me out. Never realized how fast Melo was going with these moves
Yes Sr!! We Have Arrived!!!! 🎶 🎧🌟🌟🌟🏀
TRAVELING VIOLATION!!!! NO IF, ANDS OR BUTS ABOUT IT why is it not being called he does it every post up or drive and spin move
What song is this???
"Too Deep" beat by Manuel IV @RealManuelMusic
he can do nearly everything and look unathletic as hell to someone not familiar with him
Poor Ayton, sorry for him...
People really wanna act like larry bird wouldnt still be that guy... that high shot release and lack of athleticism; similar players
@tylerholt6828 terrible take.. stamina isn't athleticism. Passing is a skill and not athleticism. Strength is not athleticism. Running speed and quickness and agility and jumping are athleticism. Strength, passing, stamina all require tons of training and to a degree can be easily increased over time by anybody. Quickness and speed are significantly harder to move the needle on. With that said, obviously everyone has a skill ceiling and Jokers is clearly significantly above every other big man. Skill has proven in the last 10ish years to be as good if not better than athleticism. Steph though undersized has changed the entire sport with shooting. Luka plays with pace and plays smart and is borderline mvp status. And Joker is best in the league even though he barely leaves the ground when jumping because his skills are otherworldly for his size.
Broke MULTIPLE NBA RECORDS....ALL THE DISRESPECT OVER HIS SKIN COLOR....NBA WILL NEVER SEE THAT TALENT AGAIN....
Out here playing king of the court with with Gobert and Ayton, sh hilarious.
Those 3s he was throwing from behind his head were awesome. Anthony Davis and Lebron looked just like some average joes vs Jokic in that series.
His middy game similar to derozan
For some reason Jokic always takes it personal against Gobert.
these are not circus shots, these are certain hits, it should be included in training programs, but I'm afraid it's unique
Adebayo working with all his strength trying to push Joker away... No chance...
If you're sober... it is the so called "Sombor shuffle".😅
@yaboiyikes69 here’s a gem for you in the valley to check out
The next level,the best playoff domination ever by one man.
Did anyone else notice that Anthony Davis is wearing eyeliner in the game??
😂😂😂
Gotta let him loose next year …
I like the reaction of the opposition
Looks so eazy ...
This Jokic shots mentaly destroy enemy team ... and this is how Denver win title
25 trees???
He was real killer with those 3's. Maybe the most ever 3s by center in play-off run??
太厲害了
Jokic, ton-se, nihao. Wo ai nee.
Poetry in (slow) motion 😮 But that's even more remarkable because it's still unstoppable nonetheless! Uncanny...
hydraulic piston can move slow but with the greatest power
Poetry.
Damn!
He shoots so good, it's a crime they leave him open at the 3 Pt. so often.
Jokic will only shoot a 3 if there is no time left on the clock or you leave him way too open.
hard working guy is fultz
He's just getting more better and more comfortable, he's Derozan lite right now but watch how his game keeps elevating
