THANK YOU, for exposing something I always felt. Horrible take after horrible take with little analytics. Just people with bad opinions with EMOTIONS. Your video should go viral.
Glad you enjoyed man thank you so much for watching!
Inside the NBA with Chuck, Ernie, Shaq and Kenny is the best basketball program by far
At its best when they aren’t talking bout basketball lol
@@swishcountyproductions Nope 👎
I think Stephen A Smith would be a perfect announcer for WWE!
This
@@swishcountyproductions LOL! But it’s very true.
@@darrylwllliams1958 totally
Max isn't crazy about that iggy take, he has hit big shots in big moments. Like role players like Robert Horry got his name from hitting big shots not from being a star
I think the downfall is mostly over saturation of social media...everybody has a voice now
i disagree. the social media analysts actually do a way better job. look at ppl like thinking basketball, jxmy, heat check or bballbreakdown. its mainly the big studios like ESPN who just talk nonsense all day
Definitely not true dude the downfall is these mainstream shows tryna get social media traction with their shitty takes.I like youtubers who actually talk in depth about sports where it's at times less filtered and definitely more variety in different topics then the same 5 things all day everyday for years
The pattern of narrative driven MSM across the board is disturbing. Everyone with differing opinions on social media only highlights the issue… one is by design and one they try to censor.
This is so accurate, incredibly well done. I remember shows like NBA Coast to Coast and others where it had analysts do what they actually get paid to do...talk sports. As you said, now I listen to creators on this platform 99/100 compared to TV sports networks.
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed!
Rachel Nichols’ conversation was “leaked” because they wanted to move on from her and decided to throw her under the bus to make it an easy break.
But the funny thing is that Rachel Nichols was hired in the first place because she was a diversity hire. It’s just that she was getting older and they decided to replace her with a younger, moderately attractive woman… except this time, she’s black! So it was hilarious to see Nichols get upset over being replaced by someone who was hired for the exact same reason she was.
Sports networks love to do this, put a woman in the middle of a man’s sport, give her some cleavage, let her mediate and guide some broadcasts, rinse and repeat as soon as the woman can be replaced by someone a little younger and more attractive.
Personally, I miss Lesley Visser on the NFL sidelines. She was reporting until she was dirt old but nobody cared because we all loved her. That was back in a simpler time when networks weren’t catering to the 19 perverts watching the game just to see a young woman. Pam Oliver was another recent woman who got screwed over and replaced by a younger woman for no reason.
Sports networks are so shady, it all sucks now.
I just realized that I can't remember the last time ESPN aired a detailed statistical breakdown and paired it with solid storytelling. Maybe it was around the time 30 for 30 was still big.
Although this makes me wonder how many of the whiz-kids we see on UA-cam are backed by ESPN or their subsidiaries.
Steven A ruined it for me.
surely the analysts are aware that they're being undermined by youtube content creators, which means they're probably just going to get more and more desperate and outlandish with their so-called "hot takes"
This is so spot on i hope the rest of the sports world is Playing attention espn has become a circus
10000% agree. And straight the mic dropped when you said “no one gives a flying f what Perkins has to say”. Omg I left so validated. He’s hard to understand and just so unreliable
Agree with most of what was said, but sports and politics have been intertwined forever. Do they cover politics too much? Possibly.
I think they over covered it to where no one wants it at all, just look at their poll results online. They’re not professionals at the end of the day so it’s not a great idea to share that stuff to millions of impressionable kids
Preciate your take though man, thanks for watching!
Agree with you
True if I want to know about politics I will go to CNN or NBC not ESPN
Good video! The fake anger and yelling garbage got old long ago. SAS got by for awhile using the yell gimmick but viewers grew tired of it. ESPN's loud nba "analysts" like Perkins, and nfl "experts" like Orlovsky will soon be gone. Viewers became better informed than the commentators and the whole sports talk genre is changing... about time!
4:22 immaculate comparison
Need to get rid of the ex ball players that haven’t won anything. Excluding Charles Barkley but even he is hit or miss.
I hate having these troll journey men on the show I know sometimes the average players make the best coaches but really, what the fuck has people like Ryan Hollins done? and what interesting things does he have to say? he's lucky he lasted as long as he did in the league
i remember one analysis by stephen a smith where he said "the players feet are not straight to the basket, they are angled to the left: look what will happen, he will miss the shot to the left!". player continues to miss the shot to the right because of outward angled elbow. like cmon man
@@jekkt really? Haha. Yes that makes no sense. Stephen A. Is starting to become a joke at this point.
You forgot to mention that First Take used to be called "Cold Pizza."
Respect to bringing up people like JxmyHighroller and Kenny Beachem. Those guys actually put in the work to analyze basketball and spend hours every day honing their knowledge.
They should of dropped molly and SAS . The show would of been way better without them .Max is the truth . He will always be successful .
Jordan can beat Lebron in 2015 at 52 is f’n crazy…. The sports media and rule changes is ruining all sports
kyle kuzma for devin booker sounds like an amazing trade. We shouldve listened to Stephen A
Not a world where the suns would pull the trigger on that deal lmao, with salary cap rules in place as well the trade isn’t possible
ESPN is making a mistake by getting rid of Kellerman and putting all it's marbles on Steven A. Smith.
I agree man, they overuse SAS to where he’s not really in a position to succeed. They even threw him into MMA coverage, dude clearly doesn’t look comfortable
Can't turn the comic relief guy into the main guy. That's what SAS is. They rode LeBron's original decision to high ratings and they're still trying desperately grasp on to him while they still can.
They got Max out of a sinking ship, they are pushing Steven A out. Max will be a star on espn in the future.
@@jclemons121384 that’s a good point, they hire tv personalities not sports analysis professionals
4:14 did you use that clip on purpose while showing Rachel Nichols?
Espn hasn't been watchable in forever. Shit all network sports talk shows to be completely honest. There are too many good podcasts and content creators to suffer through ESPN's BS today. Like I used to be able to sit my little 8 year-old ass down and watch ESPN all damn day in my room. It was on a constant loop and the content then was so fun and enjoyable and most importantly it was kind of informative. They had debates, talked it out like adults and that was that. When somebody had a "heated" argument it was exciting because it wasn't an EVERYDAY thing lol.
The problem is that “analysis” is based more on hot takes and clickbait now than anything else. If you absolutely suck as an analyst, it actually helps the company because it provides more views and more advertising money.
You’ll notice how networks have gone completely towards shock jocks or two guys intentionally taking opposite opinions in order to create controversy (and therefore, views). That’s also a part of the reason you see politics infiltrating sports coverage so frequently.
You’re better off listening to a random UA-camr.
This aged well
Yup think several of these talking hairdos were fired.
Love your vids you andy hoops and cainelovescali is litterally my favorite youtouber
Means a ton brother, you the man!
@@swishcountyproductions i love you men i always watch your vids when im nervous for school
@@ionpunongbayan5147 Glad I could help ya, love you too G
Iggy over steph gets me everytime 🤣 🤣 🤣
Internet is what killed it. People can look up stuff themselves. Plus alot of other options to get information.
I’m taking Iguodala!
🐐🐐
@@swishcountyproductions I honestly think Max's hottakes are nowhere near as bad as SAS's. It's just repeatedly milked for comedy while SAS gets a pas because of his seniority.
Make Kenny an analyst. I’d much rather listen to him than Stephen A or Perkins or any of those clowns.
Good riddance
lmao yupp
very good point about not knowing if I'm watching espn or cnn
I think the biggest issue facing ESPN is that cable TV is an outdated business model. Cable packages are way too expensive given all of the cheaper options out there today. In order to compensate for the lost revenue from canceled subscriptions, ESPN keeps increasing the cost of a cable subscription. You don't have to be a business genius to see how this only furthers the cancelations, creating an eventual death spiral for the company. ESPN needs to better adapt to the current media landscape, or they will face extinction.
The era of cable was the late 1980’s to the early 2000’s.
Whether or not cable itself is dead is another discussion. I’m not spending my money to watch a bunch of children in their 40’s and 50’s spout off about nonsense.
Podcasts and smaller YT channels that cover sports do a far better job.
Great breakdown, man.
Preciate ya brotha!
The sports media isn't even analyzing games anymore. They just try an make the most ridiculous takes! Then they've been going at players personal lives. Let the team an that league do their jobs. Keep s#!% sports!
Totally man!
NBA player podcast are alot better than ESPN
Bballbreakdown too
One of the OGs
These NBA-analyzing comedians got millions of dollars salary, better than most traditional stand-up comedians. It is a much more stable job, with less stress, also, nobody smacked them for what they said.
First the world has become too complicated to simply escape into sports at this point.. Secondly, it really is just ESPN that has fallen completely into the toilet.. I think that most people still love watching Skip and Shannon on Fox.. I won't even watch a UA-cam video if I see Stephen A. Smith's face. Lastly, both ESPN and Fox are going to have to find a way to incorporate Sports UA-camrs into their telecasts.. Listening to my favorite SportsTubers going back and forth with Shannon, Skip, Max and others would be a fun and interesting watch.
Great video my dude! 🔥
Thanks man really glad you enjoyed!!
great video man
Preciate ya!
I mean I would take kawhi over Kobe in clutch, you can just compare their efficiency, heck LeBron over Jordan in a 1v1, that guy is 250 pounds
Lool I gave up on first take. It’s just mindless content at this point . Undisputed as of recent is following that same mindless trend.
Was dropping Max and Rachel a W or an L
W because max always say stupid things and rachel is such a bad interviewer
huge L
@@ionpunongbayan5147 Max is way more logical than Stephen A bro you’re crazy
W for dropping Rachel she won't be missed
@@jasminemonroe5784 she already is missed ... you proly just jelly...
What about when Stephen A said the Raptors were done down 2-0 to the bucks lol
SAS and SKIP R SPOILING ESPN SHOWS
They really aren't analysts, they are hust pundits giving their crap opinions. Great video though. Espn is trash.
I agree 100% with everything minus the politics part. I dont really care about the persons politics but normally when people say i dont talk about politics what they meant is i dont wanna yalk about x and y and z topics. Cause if we would be honest politics is everywhere specially in sports. Theres a reason why the champion always goes to the white house. Its not tradition. Its politics. Now we can ignore x y and z ok fine but the "no politics " is always funny.
THAT'S KOBE BITING THEM IN THE ASS FOR THE DISRESPECT THEY GIVE HIM
Good video man
Preciate ya!
cold pizza was my favorite
This was a great video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed man thanks for watching!
All these guys do the research and investigating just to come on the air and give the same ignorant assessment that the guys from the barbershop would give you. That's why I quit watching.
even TMZ does more research than these fools lmao
wait, wouldn't any Laker fan want the Booker/Kuzma trade? maybe i am not awake yet...
For salary reasons as well as common sense (booker is miles ahead of kuz) the trade would never happen.
@@swishcountyproductions oh well yeah, reality maters... truthfully I never saw that argument.. but Book is the real deal, Kuz hasn't live up to the hype.
@@jmaxwell5314 exactly brotha
the stephen skip duo is unmatched and never will be. Skip and shannon come close though.
W
They lost me when they went political and supported terriost acts
Shout out to Kenny 4 Real and Jimmy High Roller, two of the best out there alongside Mike Korzemba
i also fuck with thinking basketball and bballbreakdown. highly recommend
and Heat Check
The whole video is just complaining about black people talking and remembering the good old days when it was just white dude who talked and they don't bring social injustice in the debate.
just called it "I hate seeing black people talking in television" man
ur lost bro
You can’t tell me espn doesn’t have bad analysts after looking at their takes. Also bro literally shouted out Kot4q and complimented him. Kenny is black too so the race argument doesn’t work.
Your conclusion works perfectly for media in totalitarian countries, however.
And as America keeps having their rights taken away, they keep turning more and more totalitarian.
Our "News" is a chronicle of the transition.
Dontchay'all know?
Sports in non-free and open societies are blended with politics.
Communism is when sports and politics mix.
