Back when Stephen A actually enjoyed his job, now there's a 50/50 chance he'll be a grumpy fart. A true testament to Skip, that even at 69, he still enjoys doing this with the same amount of enthusiasm.
@@Urbanoperative he’s a fan of Steven A when he’s passionate and authentic that’s when he’s at his best and I agree. Skip was his equal in first take and no matter how ridiculous Skip sounded he always respected him. Unlike Max who was hired because of Steven A recommending him and he’s always acting arrogant and anything Max says is not even worth his time
*08 spurs miss finals* *09 spurs miss finals* *10 spurs miss finals* *11 spurs miss finals* *12 spurs miss finals* *13 spurs make finals* Skip: you see I told you spurs were going to make the finals
@@shamus248 max is good but I think he's better on his own. He's just doesn't really fit the sports debate, whatever you call this. He's a little bit more journalistic. Stephen A and skip use A LOT of their own emotions into this. That works great for these debates. If you don't have as much of that you might not do as well.
I love Max Kellerman on First take but tbh espn has turned First take and there sports talks into racial issues and social justice advertisements (which is cool but I live in New Zealand so I just like watching for sport)
I miss this because it was before First Take got too big and the show was more about having a debate than doing a "show" with the same recurring jokes.
He grew up a Spurs fan for his personal reasons and because there was no professional basketball team in Oklahoma as well until 2008. So it’s a matter of his personal favorite team verses a team from his home state that was formed until his 50s. The Thunder used to be the Seattle SuperSonics, then they relocated in ‘08 and changed their name in the process.
My spurs stole Kawhi Leonard from Indiana on draft night 2011. Paul George was on that pacers team. We dismantled the heat big 3 after a devastating game 6 in 2013. I was born in ‘96 so I was spoiled all my life with Duncan, Parker, and GINOBILI. DEMAR DEROZAN is underrated! He’s no Kawhi Leonard but I like how Demar goes about his business. We should trade with the Lakers but I’m not sure. Pop is the greatest coach in the history of basketball.

This was prime Stephen A
And Skip
Mo Wat skip is pretty solid still

You can be a fan of both brother. It doesn’t have to always be one or the other

Lol all you want is attention.
Stephen A is a clown.
Yup, Skip might have his issues but his passion is incredible. I doubt I’d have that drive and dedication to all that he does at his age.
This was truly the golden era.
6:48 is the very essence of why this was the GOAT sports debate duo
Man this show was fantastic
I miss Skip Bayless on First Take.
Man I forgot how good these two were together. Skip really brings out the best or worst in someone lol.
Tiago splitter
He sets a mean screen
Man, the Skip-Stephen A. first take was the best era than the current first take we’re watching b/w Max and Stephen A.
@EZ SLIDE Pretty much sums up ESPN
*08 spurs miss finals*
*09 spurs miss finals*
*10 spurs miss finals*
*11 spurs miss finals*
*12 spurs miss finals*
*13 spurs make finals*
Skip: you see I told you spurs were going to make the finals
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can tell SAS genuinely enjoyed doing the show with Skip, with Max you can tell he hates it.
Skip leaving ESPN was another confirmation of the company dying
Max has been killing it since Skip left tbh Max is better than SAS now
@@kaelinthewater8169 max is flat out trash stop lying
@@kaelinthewater8169 Max is okay but he can't hold a candle to SAS-Skip
All they do now is play victim while being racist towards white people.

I miss this first take

@@kaelinthewater8169 max is trash
Charissa fucking Thompson, tho. Gorgeous and a half.
“STOP FILRTING”🤣
Man I miss these days…what NOSTALGIA
the good ole days
I miss this because it was before First Take got too big and the show was more about having a debate than doing a "show" with the same recurring jokes.
Skip does have a Joker smile low-key could picture him playing him if he could act
4:46 when Stephen A starts shaking his head. 4:55 Why's he staring at Skip like that 😂😂. Dude looked possessed
when Stephen A used to show up like Mad dog on first take💀
I miss when tv was like this last decade. 😂 these two use to make my day.
😂😂😂 the suit argument is hilarious!
No one-
No one at all:
Stephen A: “ STOP FLIRTING!” 🤣
I miss Skip on First Take he & Stephen A brings out the best in each other✔💯
Can we pls get more espn archive uploads
When they started talking about their suits I was expecting him to open the suit and say, "missterious"
SAS didn’t think the spurs had any chance at the beginning of that year
We need them back together
classics i love the old first take
Stop flirting 😂
i miss skip on first take😞
"The Spurs are the Tim Tebow of the NBA". Cool take bro.
Miss this duo!
oh wow never realized charissa thompson has guest moderated some first take episodes.
Why would Skip be against the Thunder when he's from Oklahoma?
He grew up a Spurs fan for his personal reasons and because there was no professional basketball team in Oklahoma as well until 2008. So it’s a matter of his personal favorite team verses a team from his home state that was formed until his 50s. The Thunder used to be the Seattle SuperSonics, then they relocated in ‘08 and changed their name in the process.
Even back then perk was arguing with SA
Who’s the host?
Jay
@@moneyplayzz8203 thanks
Lol she’s Molly before Molly 🤣
Peak sports television
CUSTOM TAILORED BABY
SKIP CARRIED SAS'S CAREER
Not even close
Nah AI built his career
It was SO much better without molly

7:48 😂😂 u know you lost when u gotta ask this question
He sets a mean pick!
"The absence of common sense"
🤣🤣🤣
stephen a was so much happier in these days lol
This was gold lol
Stay off the weeeeeeeeeda
SAS never had faith in SAS. Ha see what I did there 😤
Tiaaaaaaaaaago sppppppppplitter
WOW, she is very attractive
Get rid of Max and Molly to bring Skip back
The legal command conjecturally pedal because wren reportedly prevent following a frantic tenor. unbecoming, cultured purchase
The plausible commission logically kick because parcel distally park inside a cowardly blow. alcoholic, tart footnote
SKIPSABIIIAATCH🤭
LEBRON JAMES >> MICHAEL JORDAN
Kobe, Lebron and Jordan fans are the worst... None of them are the GOAT either
@@arizonaFIREent Who do you have as the Goat?
Skip is a legend man 😂😂
