“Mavericks there for the first time since 2011” yeah okay ESPN
They were there 2 years ago😂😂. ESPN is a joke.
@@tylergary5953 Short Term Memory Loss
Gentleman’s sweep; hardly a memorable effort 😂
@@CorePathway no one said it was memorable. You either watch ball or you don’t. ESPN talking heads clearly don’t. They can’t remember something from 2 years ago😂
@@CorePathway that effort from the suns was pretty memorable though
"First time since 2011"
2022: am I a joke to you??
They accidentally read the script for next month when the Mavs are in the finals
Yeah, did you see that series? That series was very forgettable if you're not a Warriors fan lol
They went too far into the script. That wasn’t supposed to be said until after the WCF. I mean because everywhere else it’s the 2nd time in 3 years to the WCF. That script was for the final. Tipping their hat?
They're trying to forget the Luka special
@@Jorlaxe it falls in line with this feeling i've been having that Dallas are gonna win it this year. Just something about how Dallas games are officiated
"first time since 2011"
Literally 2 years ago 😂
There agenda against the Mavs and Celtics are not even hidden anymore
Stephen a smith needs to an apology tour for kyrie the way he assasinated his character over the years.
make kyrie a victim why don’t you
@@tolstoyed The brother got killed for declining the vaccine and looking back he was right not to take it but the media had their agenda and berated him at every chance.
Why don’t you make him apologize
eh i mean....i haven't heard Stephen A say anything that Kyrie wasn't doing. Kyrie was getting paid, and he wasn't on the floor.....it's pretty simple. If you don't show up for work, watch and listen to what your collegues will say. If you miss time for a reason that just doesn't hold enough weight, then ye that's what happens. No matter what job you do, if you don't show up when you were supposed to and don't have a good reason, you are the villain. It's that simple
@@Ahilliard44 simple lol 😂 your favorite word.
espn forced to do a mavericks content 🤣🤣🤣
Wasn’t Stephen A saying that Kyrie should retire? What a clown. The Knicks Pacers Game 7 coverage just showed how he’s a personality, an entertainer, not a sports journalist
You mean the Doctor costume 🤣🤣
I remember
ESPN what are we doing?😂 “first time since 2011” honestly my baby brother probably knows more about sports then they do at this point
Yea they made a mistake. So what. You seem like the type of person to wait to have someone mess up and rub it in their face. That a loser mentality. Hope you improve.
First time since 2011??
Yep
Enough is enough, I refuse to belive that was typo, they just straight up denying Mavs in everything
The Mavs weren't even getting respect when Dirk was in his prime going on championship runs
welcome to ESPN, they been hating on Denver Nuggets and Jokic, so now they focus on Mavs and Doncic xD
If Kyrie’s a magician, then he needs to fix Steven A’s pennywise hairline😂😂😂
That would be a miracle
First time since 2011???
😂
Wasn't it SAS who said that Kyrie should retire? I wonder what's changed
Kyrie was not present on the 3 games Dallas lost against the wolves during the regular season. Gobert is very much aware of that.
Kyrie was not present despite telling Boston fans he would ride there long term. Celtics all remember that.
@@I.am_Groot get over it
@@I.am_Grootyou somehow made it about the celtics. Good job 🎉
@@TheAcesM Nah Kyrie did. He was ALL IN then as he always do he was O-U-T and look who stands in the way of Dallas getting a ring... Ooof
This is the Brawl for it all young lion against old lion Ant-Man against Uncle Drew let the battle begin
Best comment!
World B Flat clears Ant
Not since 2011 but sice 2022 mavs will win
CP3 is a natural at broadcasting.
ESPN, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!
It's gone be so hard to stop Kyrie or Luka😂
Timberwolves got championship Defense with the best Defenders in the league 💯🏀
@@gregoryemeagwara5933Ppl seem to not understand that Dallas has the second best defense in the league
@@gregoryemeagwara5933and still Luka averages 35 points against them 😂
@@GuyPearce217and no size. Plus kleber is out. They about to get smashed on the glass and won’t be able to get to the paint much.
Bruh Espn has went down. They don't even do research anymore.
Ant is a good player but Kyrie is gonna be a tough match up for him you not finna do Kyrie like Jamal Murray
Jamal is way more active, bigger and gets Jokic involved constantly. Ant might make Ky look disengaged
CONLEY Is the one guarding KYRIE...if ANT guards kyrie who is going to guard LUKA???
@@iguesssyou’re out of your mind, Kyrie is unguardable 1 on1 , He is levels above Jamal Murray when it comes to creating his shot and handling the ball ….. You see how OKC doubled Kyrie more than they doubled Luka…. Edwards is a good defender but you ain’t locking up Kyrie 1on 1
@@dthreezy Kyrie was not unguardable vs okc. U stuck in the Cleveland days… its his lay up package that is too much for guys that cant jump. Unlike Ant. Conley has clamps too. Relax on Cowboy Kyrie.. especially if his 3 isn’t falling
@@onlyfacts3178 kyle anderson, naz reid, jaden
For the Mavs I think it’s Washington we know what Kyrie and Luka gonna bring but can Washington be that 3rd scorer get 15-20 points or more like he did last series
PJ earned his paycheck this past series for sure. If only Kyrie can put together whole games instead of 2nd half heroics they might win this series
Honestly luka is slow style player we have Kyle Anderson so we're use to slow speed also luka garza gave ant the slow motion euro step move. Wolves have about 6 + players who can guard luka
Kyrie gone break somebody ankle this series
First time since 2011??
Trying to forget the "Luka Special" are we.
KYRIE IRVING needs to play as a 2nd best player not as a role player who only shows up on games that are already decided..
I need him for 30pts and 4 3’s 😆
He been doing what he need to do yea he could be more aggressive offensively. He draws a lot of attention so others can score plus pacing himself to when they do need him to takeover
@@martino8700you better not have put some bread on that
😂😂I wish I could be this wrong at my work and still keep my job like these guys.
Graded his trade a D
Called for kyrie to retire
Kyrie about to remind yall.
Uncle Drew is definitely a Magician and be clear he has always been that guy. He plays, "now you see me, now you don’t" style of basketball. Ant Man on him will be fun to watch because Uncle Drew's got mad skills and will keep you moving but Ant is young, big and athletic. Kyrie will get his shots but Ant will make it hard for him. It's the other pieces on both teams that will be the determining factor. Those pack of Wolves play together which is the reason for their success this season.
ANT gonna test Uncle Drew. Gonna be a great series
The mavs win regardless if Uncle Drew has a good or bad night. Luka is the guy on the Mavs. If he plays well, they win, if he doesn't, they don't. He's involved in 80% of their offense.
Now you like kyrie??? How are they ok with themselves with their hypocrisy
Didn't SAS said that Kyrie should retire ?
Yes That was he say
Because cp would know….😂
Actually 2022
Playoffs are never accurate.
Stan Verrett with the wrong info on the Mavs 😂😂😂😂😂
2022 was only 2 years ago 😅😅
Man I know SAS doing his job and respect but I just don’t want to hear him talk about kyrie, at all!!! Just sit it out when Mavs are the topic.
Luka is the clear Leader of the team and since dallas has been good he started out of nowhere to praise kyrie to diminish the praise on Luka even tho kyrie is having a below and playoffs for his stamdard
box score watcher casual take
It's wat Americans will do...the bias to players frm outside. Kyrie is awesome but Luka gave him a chance to be there smthg KD or harden didn't offer or Tatum n the Celtics 🤷🏾
@@umarmusisi8853 luka aint give ky a chance to do anything. Kyrie chose to stay and resign after luka asked him to stay there with him
@@ba_lotah not taking away the brilliance of Kyrie his my guy bt all the media was bashing him being a cancer n he failed in both Celtics n Brooklyn that played better with out him...even in Dallas he hasn't done that much on the court which we await in the cmg games.
But for his experience n wisdom for sure it's helped alot
18 months ago Kyrie was a bigger Monster than Sean Combs, now their praising him and kissing his you know what!!! Such phonies SAS and Wilbon
The racist, ignorant, and hypocritical, are riding Edwards real hard, especially that groupie, Malika Andrews. He hasn't won anything yet. The Wolves are tied with the Nuggets, one a piece. He hasn't beaten Kyrie, where it counts most. Yet the media, were quick to tear down Jokic and Kyrie, who are actual champions. Not just arrogant media champions.
Lmao you got 8 likes for that dumb comment. 8 loser with another.
2022.. wolves 2004
So, Kyrie is out of retirement?
Yall act like you can never make mistake. It's obviously a typo and they misspoke.
I’m sure the league was rooting for a Luka vs Jokic matchup but Luka vs Ant is just as good if not better.
Seriously man why do all sports media hate the Mavs so much geez smh. Mavs in 4 💪🏼
Luka has needed another baller for a while. A real good big man and they could become a championship squad.
This team goes as far as JAYLEN BROWN takes them
Let’s go baby
Oh get what he ask for 😂😂😂 in then some on defense
Should be very interesting. Kyrie will want them to defend him hard. Just so he can go through them
Since 2011!? Iirc, Luka got custody of CP3 and Devin " Kmart Kobi" Booker 2 years ago when he whooped the Suns on his way to WCF . are they explicitly not mentioning 2022 because CP3 is the guest? They continually attacked CP3 that series I can't blame CP3 if he wants to forgot that massacre of a game 7
2:13
painful for SAS to praise Kyrie
🤣
Who ever is in the production staff putting this nonsense up on the teleprompter needs to be be fired since 2011. Are you kidding me they were in the wcf in 2022. Who is hiring these people
Chris Paul's biggest achievement was hitting a prime Kim K, that's about it.
kyrie should have a statue in Cleveland
he gave the cavs a nba champion with that shot over curry.
Mavs in 4
He ain't lying. It's Transparent they don't have a chance without kyrie
Timberwolves just best the Champs to get to the conference finals.
I think it’s crazy but Minnesota year and will win the chip, putting Anthony Edwards on the map; also defending champs nuggest losing 3 straight than come home blow them out by 45 points than comeback gm7 by 20, it’s definitely their year and beat Boston by gm6
Minnesota won three of four and gave away the other one? What person at ESPN wrote that ridiculous comment? If anything, the Mavs gave away two of those games when they didn't even dress Luca AND Kyrie. The third had no Kyrie. The one game both played in, the Mavs dominated from start to finish. Time to hire some new researchers!
1st time in WCF since 2011?ESPN I know you prioritize characters but get some people who at least know recent history.
Mavs were here literally 2 years ago. ESPN is a joke.
Didnt stephen a used to talk so much trash about kyrie ?
Yes
I love kyrie and I hope he proves me wrong but I can see this wolves defense clamping him up
They didn’t last night.😂
0:10 - "Mavericks there for the first time since 2011"
0:47 - *ESPN Graphic* Mavericks: 2nd Conference Finals app. in last 3 seasons
You literally can not make up this level of incompetence lmao
Stephen A needs to be a man and apologize to Kyrie.. let’s not act like he didn’t leave post mavs/okc and not interview him… huge fan Stephen a but that ain’t cool… the people want an apology.
what people?
Mavs in 5 🎉🎉🎉
Why is Stephen A. still allowed to talk about basketball??? Did Minnesota and the Knicks not convince him to shut it???
Kyrie gonna hit a three that’s gonna silence all doubters
This cp callin
Let’s face it. Kyrie’s crime was criticizing yahoodis. Real ones always stood by Kyrie. There’s no “redemption” needed for him. Media manufactured all of it
how did the media put a link to hateful content on his social media?
Exactly. I really don't even remember what the drama was about other than him not wanting to take the covid jab and mentioning the flat earth. All media driven hate as you said
@@thelionofjudah77u82 posting anti semitic propaganda?
And the ppl complaining never even watched the documentary 😵💫 just went with what the media said
@@BookOfEli1130 see, that’s all kyrie’s stans do - make stuff. i did watch it
Kyrie needs to be aggressive early in the game
espn is coming apart, Mavericks not being there since 2011?? OK, but espn cannot shut up about these crumbling old superstars and teams sitting home, cp3, steph, the warriors, lebron and the lakers,, KD and the suns,, dang you really know what year the Mav's the playoffs? two frigging years ago..
I bet cp3 cut this segment to 42 minutes
Imagine cp0 a career dropper in playoffs telling uncle drew what to do
Kyrie's a scoring machine?
Definitely a scary matchup. Anthony Edwards def has the juice, however Kyrie Irving has experience over him and if he can snatch Ant's soul (which he is more than capable of), that will be a key corner stone to winning against the Timberwolves in this series. Go Kyrie!! I want to see you win through all the bs the media gave you the past YEARS ❤🔥
The greatest flip floper in the histroy of professional sports....i present to you STEPHEN A. SMITH! A professional opinion changer. Watch in wonder as he says one thing one week and directly the next, something opposite. It's unfathamoble why people would go to another source for their sports entertainment. I can't for the life of me understand why people don't like the magic act Stephen A. has been putting on for most his career. The flip floping king and it's not really close.
2011 😂 ESPN has become such a joke, especially when you have channels like bballbreakdown etc out there
Stephen A. Stay off the weed. Cp3 in no way can be like Kyrie when clutch moments are on the line.
The second espns arm is twisted into covering the Mavs is all kyrie content when clearly this entire series hinges on Luka and his ability to pick apart defenses. This is laughable basketball commentary by people who don’t watch the games
Will Chris Paul ever learn how to speak English?
Since 2022 smh these reporters are terrible
Luka is going to be crying to the refs the whole series 😂
he needs to...nba refs really trying to rigg games and people dont say a thing..just saw CELTICS getting 30 ft attempts and TATUM 10 in the OT..he gets more FT attempts in the OT than other stars on entire games.
@@onlyfacts3178 in past seasons yes, but this season the refs are really letting them play defense and i love it. I think they’ve been doing great reffing the games lately, and they haven’t ejected anyone for silly techs. Plus, if they’re rigging games they would probably rig it in the Mavs favor lol
If the Mavs can cut down on the turnovers they have a bigger chance to take the series
This is Kyrie's time to shine. No more whining about having to play defense. No more taking the first half off. Definitely no more rambling about sh!t that ain't basketball. Mavs fans will sign up for the Flat Earth society if he can play well enough for Dallas to make the Finals.. where Boston will send them home in 5/6
Since 2011? 😂😂bro u mean 2022 espn just tryna be dramatic and hype the matchup up
Stephen A is gonna have a seizure if the Mavs win the title 😅
Go Wolves
Wolves in 6.
Chris looking to retire 🤓
Celtics & Minnesota both in 6 then Celtics in 7 over Minnesota, in the finals.
Celtics aren't winning the Finals
@@allstarcom0615gone be a lot of mad casuals then 😂
Mavs in 5 or 6 over the wolves
East is getting spoonfed playing teams on crutches mavs in 6 both series
Easy series for WOLVES 😉😉
You going to be heartbroken mavs in 5 or 6
Put your money on it
Nah all talk I already bet 12k lol
@broo_expungebad If you betting on the wolves to beat the mavs you better off canceling before the series start. But if you got it like that go ahead just hate seeing someone waste 12k
Wolves are deep ... MAVS have no chance 😎
Why did they only said about what Kyrie did for Dallas, they forgot to say what Dallas did to Kyrie....at some point no team trust Kyrie, Dallas the only team trusting Kyrie
I'm sorry but this is a mismatch for the Mavs. Bye bye Mavs. See u next year.
I'm sure you'll come back with the same statement when the Mavs are in the finals
CP3 go to the Mavs. 3rd ballhandler.
LET'S GO MINNESOTA 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Wolves by a million.
ESPN STRAIGHT UP IGNORANT
I find this so unbelievable cringe the way they try to put Kyrie aheadf of Luka.
Stop it ESPN.
Stop it.
Here my downvotes you clowns.
What has Flula ever achieved? 6 year never made it to the finals. Had Porzingis, Brunson and Kyrie lol
@@ashokathegreat4534 He's literally on track to be the greatest ever. Looking Statistically or by play-off experience.
Name me one player who has done more than Luka at his age...
Yep
I'm confused here do these guys just get on the air and talk nonsense? Minnesota just got done sweeping the suns who have the greatest shoot in nba history imo KD and then the high octane player booker held them to 28% and 35% shooting now go look at Denver sure joker made him mark but we held them to 70pts and 80pts and put Murray in a choke hold kyrie and Luka are great but don't act like the wolves ain't do this already 😊
Smokin eggplant
Kyrie is also a WHO vaccine survivor. 🏥 ⚕
Stephen a myth should not be allowed to talk about kyrie you are a hypocrite 🤡
Nawl Stephen a ,Kyrie should have retired during COVID.remember? U said that.hes untrustworthy.how does 10 yards of bull manure taste?
Is that how much Cleveland and Boston fans had to eat when Ky-MEE left them hangin?
