Miztli Vasquez he was being sarcastic on reasons why he thought they were real. In other words saying it's bull. on reason he left with the Warriors cus he liked they were real not ring chasing
Basically it meant that when they hung out something as simple as a "Talk" made Durant decide to join them in GS, as if he hadn't already decided in his head that he wanted to go ring chasing there before a "Hangout" in which Max was mocking the idea of that being the conversation that pushed KD into going to GS. He's mocking the idea that KD was unsure and something like "I know you won 73 games last year but I didn't know we liked the same king of music!", was what made him decide to go to GS.
I respect the managment / sam presti. but what the hell did they do? still dreaming of the real "lineup of death" with KD, RW, James, Reggie and Ibaka. they would destroy Lebron / Cavs. and yeah! I think russell is leaving OKC, they can't build a good team with their existing contracts. sadly!
Isaiah broke it down perfectly I actually never thought of it like that Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Ibaka, Reggie Jackson, Sefelosha and Adams that's crazy that was a dynasty and management completely ballsed it up
Blake Eldridge thats true he wouldnt be the harden he is now if u hear about him school he was to scared to be the guy so he needed that move to the rockets to realize he was this good i agree with u
DAMN. That was a good point by isaiah. KD had that team once and they got really far. Instead of waiting around for management to do it again when hes out of his prime, he just took it upon himself to do it. Never thought of it that way.
TheTinyTimmyTimTim - Thankyou....a lot of people refuse to sit back and gain proper perspective with the choice he made...Everyone quick to shit on him with no background info or anything...Just assuming he's doing this, or that...
We tend to let ppl who ain't play a lick a professional NBA basketball form opinions on professionals who put they body's n mind on da line every 48mins
Kawhi plays his position. Harrison Barnes signed an offer sheet to Dallas, so the Dubs had an opening for a SF. He went with the best option for his talents. It is the exact same thing anybody does when looking for a new job.
Zeke is right, the Point Guard is the Quarterback of the offence... In other words, Steph sets the tone for how GSW is perform game in and game out... SAS needs to chill out considering he's never played the PG position a day in his life considering Zeke is a hall of famer Point Guard...
Harden was not an established superstar until he left and joined the Rockets. he probably would have never been if he didn't leave, and he even said so himself. KD and Russell Westbrook were both very young at the time of the first big 3. the different between the GSW and 2012 OKC is the fact that each team are on different levels of maturity. if James Harden, Russ and KD were the players they are now on that 2012 team, they would have easily defeated the Miami Heat and would have ran the league for years the way GSW has.
yung zen thats true, but its only because he didnt handle the ball enough. to be honest as a Lakers fan, I was more afraid of when harden ran the offense vs Westbrook back then. he always seemed to make the right play. so he was still pretty good back then. okc still in my opinion made the dumbest move by trading him away smh
yung zen dats the hole point they are selfish in okc dats y harden left they didn't have a good manager and a coach dat knew how to get Dem to play together Isaiah Thomas is rite it's all on management to get a new head coach that can bring everyone together to play together
Harden was a HUGE reason OKC got past the Spurs and made it to the Finals. When Westbrook got wild Harden would run the offense and correct everything. Harden was also a HUGE reason they lost to Miami because he pulled one of the biggest disappearing acts in the history of the NBA in eyes. Harden still chokes when the lights come on now, so nothings changed
Chandler NowitzGOAT Draymond is a better playmaker and all around defender, but Ibaka is a better scorer, shooter, and rim protector so it's pretty even.
Obviously, we will see what happens but I think CAVS can pull off a series win. From a psychological standpoint, the pressure in on the dubs and if they lose tonight, all those 3-1 thoughts will surface. If CAVS win tonight, I think it will go 7.
That OKC team had far more potential than this Warriors team. Westbrook, Harden, and Ibaka as compared to Steph, Klay, and Draymond... another reason why coaching and management plays a significant part in championships.
IT is right. More pressure on the old Squad. They blew a lead last year and if its gonna happn again the old squad blew 2 leads for the first time in history. Bron would be goat if that happens I pick GSW tonight tho
It's been KD vs LeBron during this finals. KD has been called better than LeBron during this finals. It was Steph's business last year, now it's KD's business, so pressure is on him.
No matter how many times it gets brought up I still laugh my ass off at the fact that KD's mum went on these types of shows to defend a 28 year old fully grown man
This is the reason I don't blame Durant for leaving to gs anymore. Their management fck up big time. Letting harden go was a huge mistake. He was that middle man that extra threat to lighten the load off Westbrook and Durant. When Westbrook went haywire or Durant went cold they had harden to run the offense which is what they missed dearly in that game 6 and 7 of that 3-1 blown lead. Every one ain't lucky to have the pieces fall in to place like Jordan with the bulls and Kobe and time Duncan. Gotta go make your own moves can't wait on management.
Which team has the most fun? GS is the team that has the most fun. in the history of the game. There comes a point in a man's life when he just wants to do what's best for him. KD not only gets to win a chip but he also gets to have the most fun he's ever had. Why are people so opposed to someone else's happiness?
it's an excellent point by Isaiah Thomas some really journalist and spoken word. not this made up talking point to get rating and acting like your in the players head and you live in his brain thow nonsense they usually do
people gotta understand that thomas knows what a real team and brotherhood looks like . they were labled as bad and ended up taking that to championships and the whole team decided to be bad together . thats why he knows what hes talking about...
This is stupidity and insanity rolled into one. KD joins the greatest team of all time and that somehow means that there is pressure on him? That is literally the opposite of pressure.
Max is hilarious 😂😂😂 I knew they won 73 games but damn it, I didnt know we like the same music!
Jay Fires i
I didnt get the joke bro
Miztli Vasquez he was being sarcastic on reasons why he thought they were real. In other words saying it's bull. on reason he left with the Warriors cus he liked they were real not ring chasing

He's mocking the idea that KD was unsure and something like "I know you won 73 games last year but I didn't know we liked the same king of music!", was what made him decide to go to GS.
His best moment lol
@@imchamp4324 facts
Isiah is right. OKC messed up their future, point!
beckofinestpowder
And that's why Westbrook is leaving to the Lakers.
I respect the managment / sam presti. but what the hell did they do? still
dreaming of the real "lineup of death" with KD, RW, James, Reggie and
Ibaka. they would destroy Lebron / Cavs.
and yeah! I think russell is leaving OKC, they can't build a good team with their existing contracts. sadly!
you wanna compare russell with r. davis. go home, please!
comparing Westside with Ricky davis? who's next? Larry Hughes?
KD took the easy way out...jumped on a championship team for less money...Snake move....
steven A smith reactions got me weak bruh 💀
Papi Oliver Nigga fuck, it's StePHen.
nothing beats his "omg" reaction when debating lavar ball
Ryan Bishop Don't hate
Isiah Thomas just dropped gems
Isaiah broke it down perfectly I actually never thought of it like that Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Ibaka, Reggie Jackson, Sefelosha and Adams that's crazy that was a dynasty and management completely ballsed it up
Without Harden trade there is no Adams
Westbrooke as PG, harden as SG, KD as the SF . That would have created a good rivalry with gsw!
Sheep Herder like if they all stayed there with how good they are ..they would be gsw
LORD KEITH harden wouldn't have developed with the thunder
Blake Eldridge thats true he wouldnt be the harden he is now if u hear about him school he was to scared to be the guy so he needed that move to the rockets to realize he was this good i agree with u
How are they gonna argue basketball with a man who's played at the absolute highest level and has seen the game from such a legendary perspective?
Jalen Daniels Hilary argued politics with a reality tv star and lost
politicians are clowns tho.
This is why people shouldn't listen to these people. Listen to the masters of the game. Not the students
2012 OKC was the golden state before the golden state. 2017 GSW is basically 2012 OKC (Unselfish Version).
I AM thats a good analysis.
I AM that okc team played no defense though
I AM no. that doesn't make any sense lol. No one was in their prom. Everyone is in their prime right now. 22-23 years old versus 28-30.
And they are also in their prime, and they are deeper.
Both teams gonna catch L's to LeBron.
DAMN. That was a good point by isaiah. KD had that team once and they got really far. Instead of waiting around for management to do it again when hes out of his prime, he just took it upon himself to do it. Never thought of it that way.

greysaku We know why he left. Instead of the tight ship No nonsense Spurs he chose a 73 win Warriors team. He got what he wanted so bring on the Nfl.
Kawhi plays his position. Harrison Barnes signed an offer sheet to Dallas, so the Dubs had an opening for a SF. He went with the best option for his talents. It is the exact same thing anybody does when looking for a new job.
KD watch them break the team up! Golden State came to him and showed him love!
Good to have you back Stephen A 😂😂😂
Isaiah Thomas kinda sounds like Bill Cosby.
he sounds like a smoother version lol
Orlando I. HE LOOK LIKE COSBY IN THE THUMBNAIL 😂😂
Orlando I. Huh?
If that was really Cosby he would probably drug Molly 💊 during the show
Mr. Pudding Pops😭
It's about time someone called out OKC's front office.
robhova I mean they're making up for it now
Actually that's the best breakdown I've heard! Isaih dropping wisdom.
Zeke is right, the Point Guard is the Quarterback of the offence... In other words, Steph sets the tone for how GSW is perform game in and game out... SAS needs to chill out considering he's never played the PG position a day in his life considering Zeke is a hall of famer Point Guard...
That's a great point by isiah.
Isiah Thomas high key spitting facts right now
everrrrr unanimoussss
Stephen A and Skip don't realize that shouting blasphemous isn't a solid argument.
why is someone wearing a cowboys jersey during the nba finals
Atlanta Heights lol Cowboys in 6
Atlanta Heights to piss off sas
Cowboys in 6...6 years....
Atlanta Heights to wind up Stephen A Smith 😂
The great Isiah Thomas is speaking facts.
How??
To quote the owner of GSW "Kevin thanks for coming" .
Isaiah Thomas made excellent points
That is the most Stephen A response I have ever heard.
3:30...That was a good one from Max about them liking the same music lol
There is less pressure to perform and more pressure to win
Stephen A should trademark the word 'Blasphemy'. Don't let anybody else use it Stephen!!
isaiah made some really valid points I've never thought about
Isaiah actually makes a great point I never thought about it that way okc was the golden state before golden state great stuff love it.
if the warriors lose the NBA finals the internet will literally explode 😂
you know SAS is pissed when he starts to stutter
Harden was not an established superstar until he left and joined the Rockets. he probably would have never been if he didn't leave, and he even said so himself. KD and Russell Westbrook were both very young at the time of the first big 3. the different between the GSW and 2012 OKC is the fact that each team are on different levels of maturity. if James Harden, Russ and KD were the players they are now on that 2012 team, they would have easily defeated the Miami Heat and would have ran the league for years the way GSW has.
FINALLY SOMEONE SPITTING TRUTH!
yung zen thats true, but its only because he didnt handle the ball enough. to be honest as a Lakers fan, I was more afraid of when harden ran the offense vs Westbrook back then. he always seemed to make the right play. so he was still pretty good back then. okc still in my opinion made the dumbest move by trading him away smh
yung zen back then lebron was the mvp and wade and bosh were still on their prime
yung zen dats the hole point they are selfish in okc dats y harden left they didn't have a good manager and a coach dat knew how to get Dem to play together Isaiah Thomas is rite it's all on management to get a new head coach that can bring everyone together to play together
Harden was a HUGE reason OKC got past the Spurs and made it to the Finals. When Westbrook got wild Harden would run the offense and correct everything. Harden was also a HUGE reason they lost to Miami because he pulled one of the biggest disappearing acts in the history of the NBA in eyes. Harden still chokes when the lights come on now, so nothings changed
The main Problem with OKLAHOMA is that they aren't the Super Sonics
Putting Serge Ibaka and Draymond Green on the same level WTF Isiah?
not a huge difference
Chandler NowitzGOAT why wouldn't he serge led the league in blocks before can post up and hit 3's.
They are around the same caliber of player
Chandler NowitzGOAT Draymond is a better playmaker and all around defender, but Ibaka is a better scorer, shooter, and rim protector so it's pretty even.
the only difference between green and ibaka is ball handling and passing. other than that ibaka is better
Look how he talks about mama Durant trying to get back into the picture.
"you do not want to make an enemy out of me"
i like how they're trying to deter isiah from making his point, but you can't deter the zeke.
Isiah is absolutely right...OKC was the Warriors before the Warriors...Thunder management blew it
Zeke had a point in drawing that parallel between OKC and Golden State.
Obviously, we will see what happens but I think CAVS can pull off a series win. From a psychological standpoint, the pressure in on the dubs and if they lose tonight, all those 3-1 thoughts will surface. If CAVS win tonight, I think it will go 7.
Pinky Ring From a psychological standpoint the pressure is also on Lebron to prove he truly is the GOAT and not have a losing record in the finals.
Stephen A is legit going to have an aneurysm live on tv >_
Stephen A always says blasphemous if somebody's point is different from his.
I love how Zeke started off cool calm but then Stephen A got em amped up LOL funny
That OKC team had far more potential than this Warriors team. Westbrook, Harden, and Ibaka as compared to Steph, Klay, and Draymond... another reason why coaching and management plays a significant part in championships.
Cavs in 7 , Stephen a smith predicted warriors
Isiah Thomas is so cool his voice is soothing
Has anyone on that panel ever acknowledged anything molly has said? 😂😂😂
Why doesn't anybody point out that Durant basically replaced Barnes?
Isiah Thomas is right on this one
Isiah made a great point !
IT is right. More pressure on the old Squad. They blew a lead last year and if its gonna happn again the old squad blew 2 leads for the first time in history.
Bron would be goat if that happens
I pick GSW tonight tho
OKC never really recovered after James Harden was traded.
KD didn't join the warriors to beat LeBron, he joined because he couldnt beat them and wanted an easy ring.
Isaiah made a whole lotta sense
Thomas with the W
Isiah up here making sense.
THAT NOT WHAT I SAID...
finally!!!!! It took Isaiah Thomas to point out the reasoning for KD leaving
IT Is the worst player announcer to ever try and have a line of reasoning. He always grabs the smallest piece of truth and foregoes a greater one
Isiah Thomas looks exactly the same as 30 years ago in 1987.
Since MJ and ESPN players are worried about “legacy”. So players chase championships. The NBA is totally different now.
IT is just first class all the time. true legend
It's been KD vs LeBron during this finals. KD has been called better than LeBron during this finals. It was Steph's business last year, now it's KD's business, so pressure is on him.
KILLED THEM...ISIAH THOMAS
SAS has lost this argument Thomas broke it down....
isaiah is my guy when he talks i listen and once again he makes a strong point.
No matter how many times it gets brought up I still laugh my ass off at the fact that KD's mum went on these types of shows to defend a 28 year old fully grown man
Warriors don't wanna see a game 6.... I said this when series was 3-0 !!!!!
This is the reason I don't blame Durant for leaving to gs anymore. Their management fck up big time. Letting harden go was a huge mistake. He was that middle man that extra threat to lighten the load off Westbrook and Durant. When Westbrook went haywire or Durant went cold they had harden to run the offense which is what they missed dearly in that game 6 and 7 of that 3-1 blown lead. Every one ain't lucky to have the pieces fall in to place like Jordan with the bulls and Kobe and time Duncan. Gotta go make your own moves can't wait on management.
IT for the win
so disappointed in Isaiah.scared to speak on the reality of lack of competition by joining team that beat him.
As a NBA fan, i want this series to go to 7.
Wow, Isiah actually makes a good point. I never thought of it that way.
guys let Isaiah talk i want to hear what he has to say.
Isaisah Thomas said OKC were before GSW are today. Hr should have his own TV show
This was a great discussion.
They dont want tell you that the Cavs shot 22 freethrows in the 1st Quarter...shits unheard of
Chosen One They did tell us. In this Episode today actually.
I didn't know we like the same music... lol
So, why couldn't Chris Paul go to the Lakers to play with Kobe.🤔
Which team has the most fun? GS is the team that has the most fun. in the history of the game. There comes a point in a man's life when he just wants to do what's best for him. KD not only gets to win a chip but he also gets to have the most fun he's ever had. Why are people so opposed to someone else's happiness?
Isiah was in a blender up there 😂😂
Zeke's right. OKC management have had it easy.
Listen to Isiah...he knows a thing or two about dysfunctional NBA team management.
i never thought about it like that Zeke makes incredible observation brilliant point;
Isiah makes a good point. I never considered it from that view. Still don't agree with KDs move though
it's an excellent point by Isaiah Thomas some really journalist and spoken word. not this made up talking point to get rating and acting like your in the players head and you live in his brain thow nonsense they usually do
Damn. Isaiah broke it down to where all of OKC and Westbrook like 🤔.......
Man isiah needs to come on these shows more often. Very well thought out responses and he knows his stuff well man. He does his homework.
KD's move was still weak. "...longing" for a championship is about it.
Isaiah is a better analyst than the so called best rated analyst...
When Isaiah Thomas got Mark Aguirre traded for Adrian Dantley, who was the pressure on to win the championships him or Dantley?
people gotta understand that thomas knows what a real team and brotherhood looks like .
they were labled as bad and ended up taking that to championships and the whole team decided to be bad together . thats why he knows what hes talking about...
Isaiah always going against the media grain and everybody hates him for it 😂😂😂
I thought this was from 2018...
This is stupidity and insanity rolled into one. KD joins the greatest team of all time and that somehow means that there is pressure on him? That is literally the opposite of pressure.
Lol @ Isiah for thinking Draymond v. Ibaka is a toss up
ISAIAH SPEAKING PURE FACTS
Stephen A is like the cards against humanity card "a sassy black woman"
Who keeps trying to start a clap-a-thon? 😁
that is a very good point isah
Steven A is a full blown actor now
"OKC was the Go'din State before Go'din State!!!" - Isiah Thomas
OKC wasn't as good as they could have been. KD & Harden were babies and Harden was no where near as good as he is now.
