It's hard to say because while KD is on a better constructed team with him, Beal, and Book, Steph is on a better coached team and you can never really count GSW out.

Shannon talking about GSW getting banged on the boards meanwhile they win the rebounding category almost every game this year. They get beat in free theows. If they had 20-25 free throws a game they wouldve lost maybe 5 games

He said it not asking you to call him the goat. It's 2 different things. When you compete you need to feel that you are the man. When I was playing soccer I was always saying I am better than Ronaldo and messi 😂 and I was meaning it.
@@jehovahrohi969 if you are in a top 10 all time you think you are and only what changes is circumstances. So you gonna tell me Ronaldinho/zindane etc doesn't think they are better than Messi or Ronaldo? We are talking about your talent and what you think you can do. So for example if you ask Giannis if he is better than Jordan what makes him less? If Giannis pull off a 7 rings and 7 fmvp with maybe 6 mvps sure he will be considered the goat. Even Bron what holds him it's 2 other rings and it's a wrap. So you out in consideration team success. Imagine McGrady with 6 rings. Vince kyrie kd etc they are all talented but what differentiate them from Jordan or Bron is some team success.
@rossj2830 he made his case that kd and the Suns have the best chance right now, which is true. Between GSW and Lakers, the Lakers have a better chance. So the statement of shay "vouching" doesn't make sense... well, unless you're a Bron hater I guess.
@@MooNwALKER.... But the argument wasn't between warriors and Lakers, it was between the 3 of them and he chose KD, so the question is why's he spending the whole segment defending LeBron lol
The Warriors were dominate because Steph and Klay were shooting at such a high level it made defenses glue to them at half court which made the offense hard to guard. If Klay just is a really good shooter it changes everything.
Add to what the Warriors have in terms of offensive versatility, with Kuminga and Wiggins as RIM PRESSURING, Athletic wings that can shoot the 3 in small volume at north of 38%. That ability to diversify your offensive approach is pivotal when palms get sweaty, backsides get tight and your in the middle of a rock fight playoff environment where pretty basketball goes to die. Defense, mid-range and slashing/easy rim pressure scoring opportunities, rebounding and free shooting make the difference in the postseason.
People out here acting like they weren't saying these exact same things in 2022 taking the grizzlies because of youth and size, taking the Celtics because of athleticism and the fact that their second option was better than klay. Never made a game 7, ring number 4. Most disrespected dynasty ever, count them out at your own risk.
They clipped it as he went into detail about "being uncomfortable with praise". It sounds like cap but after he fully explained it made more sense. Nasty work ESPN
Not saying they are going to win, but GS has been one of the best rebounding teams in the NBA. They don’t get pounded on the glass as Shannon proclaims. They only need size for interior rim presence, that’s all.
The reason I’m not a big believer in the Warriors is because of Klay not showing up consistently. Aside from his 35 point game off the bench last week, he’s nowhere near the same shooter that he once was. Wouldn’t shock me if he scored less than 20 in his first game after the all star break. Can’t trust Andrew Wiggins either
@@1zzyduzitthis will kuminga first playoffs too be real with u I still think they need to run through wiggins because he’s shown he can matchup against a tatum or luka hold his own
Stephen A don’t watch basketball games and it shows … ESPN shouldn’t give him top dollar if he refuses to actually watch the basketball games rather than the box score
Imma have the hot take and say the Warriors, too. My logic is super dumb, I know, but I really think that, if both teams are good enough to reach at least the WCF, I don’t think that the Lakers will be as likely to win as the Warriors, and I’m not even talking about a head-to-head matchup. I mean if they were to play the best in the west, so if the WCF was LavLa, GSvLa, GsvDen, LavDen, LavOkc, GsvOkc, whatever the matchup… I think that the Warriors would be more likely to win in a 7 game series with those guys than the Lakers would be. That’s how I see it, and yes, I know it doesn’t make sense, but that’s my take
Denver for golden state maybe but the other ones im taking the lakers, clippers don’t have no more wing depth to guard lebron and we’ve seen that buy their last couple matchups which the lakers have won, except the one with bron out, then there is okc, they can not deal with the lakers size that’s just my take lol
@@nikhiltrivedi8126 really? That’s the reasoning? Cuz if that’s the logic, yall are FUCKED against Denver 😂 at least present the rosters or data or SOMETHING. Not this goofy aah Kendrick Perkins-type beat
@@drakevick1646 the rosters are nearly identical as last year. The lakers roster is stacked. Bron AD dlo reaves Rui dinwiddie cam reddish prince etc. Significantly more talented than the warriors. They’ve just been injured all year with guys in and out of the lineup. They’ll pick up steam again in the 2nd half of the year. The lakers gave size, length and athleticism. The warriors are way too small. Head to head it’s not even close, the lakers always smack them 😂hey at least you admit ur logic doesn’t make any sense goofy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao. Shannon Sharpe telling warriors that they get pounded night in night out on the glass without checking the team stats. As of today, warriors is 3rd in Rebs, 4th in OReb, and 6th in DReb. The Lakers is rank 22nd in Rebound by the way.
That Bron interview reminded me of the NBA Young boy interview where Youngboy tried to make us think he is this introvert kid that’s super sensitive and always in his feelings
@medz3288 Warriors had some of the worst off court circumstances and still made it to the 2nd round in the playoffs and pushed the Lakers to 6 games...with Klay and Jordan Poole looking like shells of themselves offensively.
@@medz3288y’all fakers are trash kid lmfao, y’all need 30 free throws to win games.. y’all have a losing record since 2019 against playoffs teams ..

Thats not the point tho. Its not what u are worth. Its what someone is willing to pay u and I can guarantee u now Lakers would give Klay 20-25 per yr guaranteed right now.
@@kelvinosei7055I mean that depends on how bad you think he will regress . Seeing guys like lowry leave the raptors,Wade with the heat,tony parker leave the spurs they never end up doing anything in other jerseys it just fails bad lowry honestly wasn’t bad his first few years other than that it’s not worth it
Its wild that KD tore his achilles and right now has the best chance at winning again out of him, Steph, and Bron. I honestly thought he was done after they traded for Harden when he was on the nets.
No sorry.. ANDREW WIGGINS is the X factor for the dubs, like he was two years ago. He has been turning his season around the last month and I expect that to continue. So you add a 2022 version of Wiggins to Steph and Dray and Klay off the bench with Kuminga and Podz on fire and all the other bench contributions from TJD, Moody, Saric etc...they are deep and scary.
You're playing in LA! Play till 45. Like Brady, the nba is so soft today. Play with young Bron. Another year in college, he should be ready for the NBA
LeBron is more likely because he's the type of player to join the Celtics for Game 4 of the NBA Finals when Boston is up 3-0 and then claim credit for the championship run.
@@jalensavage7773I think maybe you’re the one who needs to reevaluate your life. You’re a grown man, dude. Seriously. I’ve never seen grown men grovel and suck up to another grown like Lebron fans. It’s like you want to be his wife or something 😂
I’m trying to find out when the teams were equal, yet even with a free throw disparity the Lakers have barely beaten the warriors. As a matter of fact if the games were called correctly that we have seen in past matchups, the Warriors win everytime!
@@DemiyonHall you're joking right? As if Steph didnt hop on the plane to Hamptons to beg KD to save him from LBJ.

@@AstroSully KD's defense may be lackluster and inconsistent, that still is better than Curry who gets pulled from 4th quarters late in games lmao. KD is def the better overall player
😂😂😂 Stephan A always picking the teams that can shoot better than the Lakers and them same teams never end up winning anything😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😭😭 give me his job
Shannon brought up the warriors getting pounded on the glass but they are a top team in rebounding & top 3 in points in the paint. Dude be talking crazy
@@AirParker23 that game was 9 months ago isn’t no just beta anybody and that still doesn’t matter the Warriors are a better team now then they were in that series
Unless it’s Denver (and injuries happen) I think beating Lebron and AD, in a best of 7 series is still a daunting task. I think Lebron has the best chance to win another ring.
I‘m not sure about a title run, Steph, KD, Lebron are all very capable with their teams. But if the league only would address the disrespect in the lack of calls when Steph is fouled, the Dubs would have won some of those close games and would have a playoff spot right now.
“Will I take the farewell tour…” Uhhh seeing as how you’re the biggest diva in the history of sports and require praise and admiration more than anyone, yes, you definitely will.
Shannon Sharpe shouldn't be talking about basketball he said this is the healthy Anthony Davis been since the bubble championship we all know that every player got 6 months off before they went back to the bubble I would think he would be healthy with a 6-month layoffs
Lakers don't shoot well, but when they start shooting it will pour. Bron, DLO, Rui all are shooting above 40%. Then there is Austin Reaves who is shooting all the shots from 35feet is still shooting at 37%. Bron,Rui, Austin all shoot well in playoffs, clutch times & in high pressure times. Don't discount Lakers shooting if it wasn't for the coach Lakers will run circles around most teams except Nuggets..
@@evenebrown7353 he does NEED to win, he can sit there and act like he okay with his 2, but at the same time he'll ask silly questions like why he isnt mentioned as a goat. for someone to have as much full autonomy with his career as KD has had, he needs to at least get one more. for perspective, KD has as much rings as Kawhi
Dobyou know him, how are you telling him how he should feel. He was asked the question, he didn't just start talking about it and he answered he thinks he should be in goat conversation, he didn't say goat. I believe when kd retires he can be proud of his career and accomplishments and know that is a outstanding basketball player and a even better man and person from what I see, he does not have to prove anything to you or anyone else. With that said, I do hope he wins another title
@@evenebrown7353 lmao. I almost with everything you said, but I remember him asking the hypothethical question why isnt he in the goat convo. And KD can feel however he wants to feel, but he aincerly cant think shouls take him serioua enough for any convo if he doesnt win with the suns so theres that.
@misters4022 the interview I saw he was asked should he be in the goat conversation. He answered why wouldn't I be. Kd is not normally a person who just brags on himself without being asked the question. He always gives praise to players, former and present. Injust don't understand all the hate. We can agreevto disagree
LeBron is the funniest man on the planet, or the biggest liar? He doesn’t like attention and maybe not do fair well tour? YEAH, RIGHT! That man LOVES ALL ATTENTION AND TAKES ALL CREDIT FOR WINS!!! 😂😂😂
He didn’t they the media crowned him the king when he was 16 on the cover of sports illustrated. Then he signed to Nike and they ran their marketing around him being king
You have more faith in the Warriors even though the Lakers already beat them in 6 last season in the playoffs and this year in the regular season. You have more faith in the Suns even though the Suns can't beat the Lakers this season.
They beat the Lakers the last time they played by 20 & Beal went off for 37. Lebron & AD didn't even play the whole 4th quarter. That was the only time the Suns faced the Lakers fully healthy & they smoked them on their own court.
These dudes didn’t even answer the correct question. The Q is not about who has a better chance to win “this year” just says who could win 1 more between these 3. It has to be Lebron. If the lakers get another star player in the summer. They have a great chance to win for the next 2 years.
I feel like it's the lakers but I could also see the suns winning a title this year. The lakers aren't taking the regular season games as serious as the games that they feel like matters more. The IST showed that. The lakers were trying harder and took the games more serious. And even with the lakers not taking the regular season games serious, they are still 4 games over .500 and they about 5 games under .500 during this point of the year. This is normally the time of the year where the lakers strive. If Dlo doesn't become a sellout in this year's playoffs, I think the Lakers have the potential to win it all.
It wouldn't surprise anyone if Steph won another ring because he seems to surprise people like that. A lot of people thought he wouldn't win another ring without KD and look what happened.
10:50 "If Steph Curry wins a championship with this team? He belongs in the top 5!" 😂 But seriously Shannon is right on this one. And SA is proving he is lost in this debate talking bout the Lakers can't shoot. The team had a rough patch late last year and early this year but overall they are not terrible and have been shooting well the past several games. Its like he is talking about last season's Lakers team and even that team STILL beat the Warriors. So even if we accept his false statement that the Lakers can't shoot, shooting alone will not let you win a championship if you're too small, inconsistent and banged up like the Warriors.
Stephen A really thinks Curry will just score 100 points with 3-pointers. As much as I love Curry, he’s the least likely. They’re small and he’s the only one who can go off consistently. Defence matters lol
As a Dubs fan, I’m very thankful that Steph has been with us for so long. Hoping he can join Kobe, Duncan and Dirk in making it to 20 years with one team whether gets one more Chip or not. ❤

Vince kyrie kd etc they are all talented but what differentiate them from Jordan or Bron is some team success.
Funny how Shannon started vouching for bron & the lakers when he said kd & the suns 🤦🏾♂️
What vouching?!!! Make sense please.
@@MooNwALKER....what don’t you understand lol?
@rossj2830 he made his case that kd and the Suns have the best chance right now, which is true.
Between GSW and Lakers, the Lakers have a better chance.
So the statement of shay "vouching" doesn't make sense... well, unless you're a Bron hater I guess.
@@MooNwALKER.... But the argument wasn't between warriors and Lakers, it was between the 3 of them and he chose KD, so the question is why's he spending the whole segment defending LeBron lol
Lol these Lakers , Warriors contract obligations for the panel are killing sports tv
The Warriors were dominate because Steph and Klay were shooting at such a high level it made defenses glue to them at half court which made the offense hard to guard. If Klay just is a really good shooter it changes everything.
They needed Klay at that level of shooting because they had no interior threats.
Add to what the Warriors have in terms of offensive versatility, with Kuminga and Wiggins as RIM PRESSURING, Athletic wings that can shoot the 3 in small volume at north of 38%. That ability to diversify your offensive approach is pivotal when palms get sweaty, backsides get tight and your in the middle of a rock fight playoff environment where pretty basketball goes to die. Defense, mid-range and slashing/easy rim pressure scoring opportunities, rebounding and free shooting make the difference in the postseason.
Golden state is going to be like KC this year in football
Gsw not like kc mahomes is lot better at his position than Curry is at his
@@deandrejohnson4348 😂 you must’ve smoked or drank this morning huh?
I agree if the warriors get a young team like OKC or Minnesota in the first round they winning and who knows how it goes from there.
8:00 “Can u do that to The Beach Boys? Said, can u do that to The Beach Boys?!” 😭
😂
Lakers literally just beat a better warriors team last year so how you could pick them this year is beyond me
GSW has no one to fill the igoudala gap. He was more important to those chips than we acknowledge. Skill defense iq and leadership
Iggy was very important to that teams success. They almost lost to the Rockets without him in 2018
Thank you. This is hardly acknowledged.
Chris Paul?
@@GG-fy2bm
He's to injury prone currently and he also isn't the key defender Iggy was.
@@GG-fy2bm also IGGYs athleticism and length and especially youth at the time made valuable to the squad
Lmao, not good at accepting praise, that's all he wants and cares about is getting praise.
People out here acting like they weren't saying these exact same things in 2022 taking the grizzlies because of youth and size, taking the Celtics because of athleticism and the fact that their second option was better than klay. Never made a game 7, ring number 4. Most disrespected dynasty ever, count them out at your own risk.
They clipped it as he went into detail about "being uncomfortable with praise". It sounds like cap but after he fully explained it made more sense. Nasty work ESPN
If the GSW and Suns meet up in the playoffs...I don't know who's the favorite in that series cause Draymond would do a number con KD.
Yeah right😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂u smoken rocks
Kd would love that series. He gonna put it on dray head
At this point in both of their careers, KD would destroy Draymond.
Draymond will easily destroy KD by elbowing his Ribcage in game 1.
Not saying they are going to win, but GS has been one of the best rebounding teams in the NBA. They don’t get pounded on the glass as Shannon proclaims. They only need size for interior rim presence, that’s all.
The reason I’m not a big believer in the Warriors is because of Klay not showing up consistently. Aside from his 35 point game off the bench last week, he’s nowhere near the same shooter that he once was. Wouldn’t shock me if he scored less than 20 in his first game after the all star break. Can’t trust Andrew Wiggins either
But he’s coming off the bench now. Y’all better stop sleeping on Kuminga and Steph as a duo
@@1zzyduzitthis will kuminga first playoffs too be real with u I still think they need to run through wiggins because he’s shown he can matchup against a tatum or luka hold his own
@@1zzyduzit but soon as GSW loses a play in or is bounced in the 1st round Steph wont have enough help- which one is it?

😂😂
Exactly.
these dudes are two uncles arguing at the BBQ
Stephen A don’t watch basketball games and it shows … ESPN shouldn’t give him top dollar if he refuses to actually watch the basketball games rather than the box score

He is an entertainer. He is being paid to entertain -- they don't 'give' him anything, he makes more money than he gets paid.
Nun of them do it’s not just him

All 3 Should Team Up
Imma have the hot take and say the Warriors, too. My logic is super dumb, I know, but I really think that, if both teams are good enough to reach at least the WCF, I don’t think that the Lakers will be as likely to win as the Warriors, and I’m not even talking about a head-to-head matchup. I mean if they were to play the best in the west, so if the WCF was LavLa, GSvLa, GsvDen, LavDen, LavOkc, GsvOkc, whatever the matchup… I think that the Warriors would be more likely to win in a 7 game series with those guys than the Lakers would be. That’s how I see it, and yes, I know it doesn’t make sense, but that’s my take
Denver for golden state maybe but the other ones im taking the lakers, clippers don’t have no more wing depth to guard lebron and we’ve seen that buy their last couple matchups which the lakers have won, except the one with bron out, then there is okc, they can not deal with the lakers size that’s just my take lol
The lakers are much better than the warriors , smacked em last year and will do so again if they match up 🤣🤣🤣
@@nikhiltrivedi8126 really? That’s the reasoning? Cuz if that’s the logic, yall are FUCKED against Denver 😂 at least present the rosters or data or SOMETHING. Not this goofy aah Kendrick Perkins-type beat
@@drakevick1646 the rosters are nearly identical as last year. The lakers roster is stacked. Bron AD dlo reaves Rui dinwiddie cam reddish prince etc. Significantly more talented than the warriors. They’ve just been injured all year with guys in and out of the lineup. They’ll pick up steam again in the 2nd half of the year. The lakers gave size, length and athleticism. The warriors are way too small. Head to head it’s not even close, the lakers always smack them 😂hey at least you admit ur logic doesn’t make any sense goofy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We are not even a year away from LA beating GSW in a playoff series yet Stephen keeps having them as favorites
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao. Shannon Sharpe telling warriors that they get pounded night in night out on the glass without checking the team stats. As of today, warriors is 3rd in Rebs, 4th in OReb, and 6th in DReb. The Lakers is rank 22nd in Rebound by the way.
That Bron interview reminded me of the NBA Young boy interview where Youngboy tried to make us think he is this introvert kid that’s super sensitive and always in his feelings

@@medz3288ok and People thought the lakers would beat Denver and they got swept

@colonelgibbs8357exactly
What does that have to with now
I’m a gigantic lebron fan.. but Bron.. you literally got “CHOSEN 1” tatted on your upper back my guy
To say Klay wont get 20 mil a yr is ridiculous. Lakers would sign him up for 20 per season right now if they could.
Facts that crazy to say
Na Klay ain’t worth 20 mil right now, say 15 mil tops
Thats not the point tho. Its not what u are worth. Its what someone is willing to pay u and I can guarantee u now Lakers would give Klay 20-25 per yr guaranteed right now.
@@kelvinosei7055I mean that depends on how bad you think he will regress . Seeing guys like lowry leave the raptors,Wade with the heat,tony parker leave the spurs they never end up doing anything in other jerseys it just fails bad lowry honestly wasn’t bad his first few years other than that it’s not worth it
CP3 and Klay off the bench could be dangerous.
SAS BEEN SAYING DUBS OVER LAKERS EACH TIME WE MATCHUP. RESULTS SAY THATS A LIE!😅
Its wild that KD tore his achilles and right now has the best chance at winning again out of him, Steph, and Bron. I honestly thought he was done after they traded for Harden when he was on the nets.
No sorry.. ANDREW WIGGINS is the X factor for the dubs, like he was two years ago.
He has been turning his season around the last month and I expect that to continue.
So you add a 2022 version of Wiggins to Steph and Dray and Klay off the bench with Kuminga and Podz on fire and all the other bench contributions from TJD, Moody, Saric etc...they are deep and scary.
You're playing in LA! Play till 45. Like Brady, the nba is so soft today. Play with young Bron. Another year in college, he should be ready for the NBA
I would say KD
He will definitely do the farewell tour. Mark my word. He said 50/50? Yea right. He loves attention and praise. Calling this 100%
1:44
Of course, Shannon wants to say lebron james so badly anything that has to do with lebron. Shannon is picking him all the time
LeBron is more likely because he's the type of player to join the Celtics for Game 4 of the NBA Finals when Boston is up 3-0 and then claim credit for the championship run.
No joke I really see him doing that in New York or Cleveland, add himself to an already made roster and take all the credit
You saying that when KD already has done it just shows your hate for Bron .. get a life
You mean KD
Lol

Shannon’s argument: based off of what we’re seeing the Suns have the best chance
Steph A’s argument: WELL IF… IF IF IF IF IF, Maybe, IF
It’s already been proven, when the teams are equal, Bron beats Curry. It’s happened everytime.
When was the team was equal?
I’m trying to find out when the teams were equal, yet even with a free throw disparity the Lakers have barely beaten the warriors. As a matter of fact if the games were called correctly that we have seen in past matchups, the Warriors win everytime!
When?
@@DemiyonHall lol don’t speak facts too him bro lol
@@DemiyonHall you're joking right? As if Steph didnt hop on the plane to Hamptons to beg KD to save him from LBJ.

Goofy
First Things First is officially the best sports show on TV. They are now the only show that doesn’t say stuff for clicks and reactions. The Warriors are barely in a position to make the playoffs, let alone win a title

SAS acknowledges one thing about basketball and one thing only: shooting
Kd is better than steph can shoot just as well as him and plays defense
he doesn't shoot as well as steph stop it. KD's defense for his size is lackluster and inconsistent.
As well as Steph? You okay, buddy?
😂😂 as well as steph lol this guy has jokes!! Obviously hes not serious. No basketball fan is that stupid
Steph makes more 3 point shots than kd yes, but kd is a more efficient shooter and he has really picked up his defense this year.
@@AstroSully KD's defense may be lackluster and inconsistent, that still is better than Curry who gets pulled from 4th quarters late in games lmao. KD is def the better overall player
Shannon is right.
😂😂😂 Stephan A always picking the teams that can shoot better than the Lakers and them same teams never end up winning anything😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😭😭 give me his job
My prediction: Western conference finals: Lakers vs Timberwolves and for the Eastern conference finals: Bucks vs Pacers
Nobody is giving Klay 25m a year 😂😂yall just saying anything at this point because if somebody would the warriors would of paid him 2 years 20
The Warriors offered Klay 2 years 48.5 mill but Klay declined to sign the extension
Shannon brought up the warriors getting pounded on the glass but they are a top team in rebounding & top 3 in points in the paint. Dude be talking crazy

KD has the best chance and is the who NEEDS a ring the most outta those 3 guys
He doesn't need to win but it would be nice if he does. He has 2 rings, 2 finals mvp, 1 regular season mvp and a stellar career thus far.
@@evenebrown7353 he does NEED to win, he can sit there and act like he okay with his 2, but at the same time he'll ask silly questions like why he isnt mentioned as a goat. for someone to have as much full autonomy with his career as KD has had, he needs to at least get one more. for perspective, KD has as much rings as Kawhi
Dobyou know him, how are you telling him how he should feel. He was asked the question, he didn't just start talking about it and he answered he thinks he should be in goat conversation, he didn't say goat. I believe when kd retires he can be proud of his career and accomplishments and know that is a outstanding basketball player and a even better man and person from what I see, he does not have to prove anything to you or anyone else. With that said, I do hope he wins another title
@@evenebrown7353 lmao.
I almost with everything you said, but I remember him asking the hypothethical question why isnt he in the goat convo. And KD can feel however he wants to feel, but he aincerly cant think shouls take him serioua enough for any convo if he doesnt win with the suns so theres that.
@misters4022 the interview I saw he was asked should he be in the goat conversation. He answered why wouldn't I be. Kd is not normally a person who just brags on himself without being asked the question. He always gives praise to players, former and present. Injust don't understand all the hate.

You have more faith in the Warriors even though the Lakers already beat them in 6 last season in the playoffs and this year in the regular season. You have more faith in the Suns even though the Suns can't beat the Lakers this season.
They beat the Lakers the last time they played by 20 & Beal went off for 37. Lebron & AD didn't even play the whole 4th quarter. That was the only time the Suns faced the Lakers fully healthy & they smoked them on their own court.
These dudes didn’t even answer the correct question. The Q is not about who has a better chance to win “this year” just says who could win 1 more between these 3. It has to be Lebron. If the lakers get another star player in the summer. They have a great chance to win for the next 2 years.
AD villian Arc just started everybody gonna be glazing soon 🔜
Check out Shannon's grill at the 8:12 mark 😂😂😂😂😂 Priceless
everything he says is for the documentary lmao
I feel like it's the lakers but I could also see the suns winning a title this year. The lakers aren't taking the regular season games as serious as the games that they feel like matters more. The IST showed that. The lakers were trying harder and took the games more serious. And even with the lakers not taking the regular season games serious, they are still 4 games over .500 and they about 5 games under .500 during this point of the year. This is normally the time of the year where the lakers strive. If Dlo doesn't become a sellout in this year's playoffs, I think the Lakers have the potential to win it all.
It wouldn't surprise anyone if Steph won another ring because he seems to surprise people like that. A lot of people thought he wouldn't win another ring without KD and look what happened.
No people said he couldn’t beat prime Lebron with a healthy team. He proved people wrong by beating Tatum ?😂
He is gonna do 5 hr special on espn to announce he is taking his talent to the retirement home
Stephen A is absolutely right on this ☝🏾
Lebron started Earlier as well Shannon!
He spent 20 years won 4 Chips, but
Curry 15 years won 4 Chips!
Do the Math
10:50 "If Steph Curry wins a championship with this team? He belongs in the top 5!" 😂 But seriously Shannon is right on this one. And SA is proving he is lost in this debate talking bout the Lakers can't shoot. The team had a rough patch late last year and early this year but overall they are not terrible and have been shooting well the past several games. Its like he is talking about last season's Lakers team and even that team STILL beat the Warriors. So even if we accept his false statement that the Lakers can't shoot, shooting alone will not let you win a championship if you're too small, inconsistent and banged up like the Warriors.
Easy to play 20 years when you load manage and play defense 10% of the time at best.
Besides missing games with the Lakers due to legitimate injuries the past few seasons, when has LeBron load managed?
@@Orangejulius4414 he’s taken off several games prior to his injuries. How many times has he played at least 75 games?
