THEGODYATO first of all bruh he never iguodala is the best shooter on GSW he said he wants him taking the last shot because he is cold blooded clutch.....and kawhi is playing outta his mind and season not over so we don’t know yet ....
Jogomez 92 first of all I don’t care what or where they are shooting. Under any circumstances I would rather have Steph, Klay AND KD taking a shot before I even thought about Igoudala. And btw he said Kawhi and Giannis are both better than Lebron last year. The fact you ignored him saying Giannis is better than Lebron kinda proves that you don’t even agree with him. I could even go on, he said Giannis is better than KD DURING the 2019 regular season. In fact he said that KD is not a top 5 player during that same time. If you agree with him and think he has the best takes, your a clown. If you don’t agree with him then you replied to me for no reason. Ty and have a nice day.

saying that durant was a better closer than lebron was the dumbest most ignorant thing smith has ever said....and he says some dumb things...skip is just irrelevant he knows nothing about sports or basketballl
@@bill11ringsrussell66 theres no way you can think mj was attemping to win a ring when he was with the wizards and you won when there was like 8 teams in the nba and was mostly unathletic white guys playing
I can fuck these guys they're shit at their jobs and don't know shit about basketball and skip was only hired to troll Stephen A Smith. Skip probably averaged 2 points his whole life
@@lethree4641 since you wanna be technical buzzer beater is beating the buzzer. The buzzer goes off 4 time per game for at least 16 wins thats 64 times and there is buzzer beaters to tie the game then another buzzer beater to win the game in ot. Alot of opportunities
Jabari Reynolds since u wanna be technical a “game winning” buzzer beater is a buzzer beater that wins 1 game, hence it can only happen once per game. And the maximum wins a team can have in one postseason is 16, therefore the most game winning buzzer beaters a player can have in 1 playoffs is 16
This was the peak of the Sportscenter era. This Finals was epic even tho it was only 5 games. And these two are legends in their craft like KD and Lebron are. What a time to be alive.
@@StayTru101 how can a team play when one player has the ball all the time. He dribbles up the court then shoots too much iso ball you can never win like that. Everyone has to be involved in some form.
That was the playoffs were LeBron dropped 45 in an elimination game vs the Celtics with his legacy on the line and these fools sitting there and talking about how he‘s not a closer
These two were the best together. They were Like the MJ and pippen , Bron and dwade and Kobe and shaq of sports analytics and debate like peanut butter and jelly together skip and stephen a . Miss these days
***** If James Harden showed up as the Star he is, the outcome would have been completely different. Durant had a better TEAM around him and still lost.
***** Well, yeah, his bench wasn't a bunch of scrubs in 2012, but all season long we were talkin about the lack of big men on that team. People forget that even though they were a big three they still had no paint presence and no rebounding at all and had to rely on small ball. That is why Chicago and Indiana always gave them so much trouble. Boozer/Noah and Hibbert/West against Joel Anthony and Birdman lol But if you think that he didn't carry the Finals a month ago you need to recheck your logic. That team was absolute trash without Love and Irving. So he has every right to blame his teammates. He showed up big for once, and nobody else did.
***** Paul George and D Rose were not the reason Indiana/Chicago gave them trouble. We talked for 4 years about how the Heat never had rebounding, big men or paint protection. Why was George dunking all over them? No paint protection. Birdman and Haslem were forced to guard people twice their size and that is why Spoelstra constantly had to force Bosh into the Center position even though he is not a center. That's the whole reason they signed Greg Oden because they were desperate for bigs. And they still had no good bigs in 2014, which why they lost so badly last year. If they had at least 2 solid bigs Miami probably wins 4 straight from 2010-14.
***** Sure I like LeBron but that doesn't mean I'm not objective. And Wade's last good year was 2012. It's been downhill since. Just check my other comments on other videos. I constantly have to defend why LeBron isn't as good as people say he is. He won't even crack the top 5 greatest ever, maybe not even top 10, but that doesn't mean he isn't one of the best ever. Having to argue with LeBron dick riders is like talking to a 2 year old. All I have to say is 2-4 and that ends the argument.
i love watching them both, if they agree all the time then it will be boring! skip is always the antagonist and i like him for that he adds flavor to the show, stephen a has a lot of followers and skip has a lot of haters that's why people watch them! especially skip who people loves to hate! :)
