I’m surprised Duncan ain’t got a statue yet; that’s unbelievable
the way Duncan used to move he prolly told them himself not make a statue of him, he want no attention to his name
So disrespectful.
Well ask San Antonio to make one. They don’t even have a statue for The Admiral.
The list was current players only.
current players you need to listen@@vistasiniestra
Stephen Smith deserves a statue outside “The Gaines Center” in Winston-Salem, NC. With 1.5 ppg sign.
😂😂😂
Holding it up like Wilt with the 100😂
I’m at wssu at that would be lit😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂hell naw u wrong for that
By this logic, Pippen and Rodman should have a statue at United Center
💯
Also Phil Jackson, at crypto too.
Wait pippen doesn’t have one 😂
They should lol
@@RG-rb6om I just googled it. There's a statue inside United Center, but nothing like Jordan's statue lol
Maybe they should! Who else u gonna put? Derick Rose? Joakim Noah? Tony Kucouc? Big Ben Wallace? Or my favorite, Luke Longley?
How does Tim Duncan for the SPURS not have one he brought them 5 Championships
agree 10000%, but he said current players only.
He is not popular enough I guess.
They definitely should have his statue.
Because it's a silly idea. Not every franchise is obsessed with statues.
Right he should have one already but I think they'll give him one eventually.
Probably cuz he doesn't play anymore 😂😂😂
Jokic over Klay and Dray. Cmon statues are for best players
Yes
But Jokic is not black enough for Stephen A to give him his credits.
Need a statue of jokic on a horse he would love it!
I agree on Jokic! Also can't forget Leonard in Toronto
@@miz1sawesome yes!! A horse and cart would be awesome!!
we need shannon sharpe statue list. 5 list all lebron. High Sch, Cavs, Heats, Lakers & Outside NBA head office.
The main problem is you're probably right 😂
the funny part is he wouldn't be wrong
I see nothing wrong. The man did everything right. Played the right way. Did the best work off court, which actually matters more than the game. Brought a Championship everywhere. Brought the sales for every team. Even when he left, he did it the right way by completing his contract and not demanding a trade.
If KD can’t get one for warriors, Lebron can’t get one for Miami, same reasoning lmao
@@supernova9721yea, I disagree with that Lakers one but other than that, I see no problem.
1. Steph
2. Lebron in Cleveland
3. Giannis
4. Kawhi in Toronto
5. The Joker
i'm okay with kawhi leonard getting one in toronto; because I don't know if/when toronto will ever win a chip again.
And also, that chip means ALOT. Like so many nba teams that have had hall of famers still don't have a chip; including the suns, the magic, the okc thunder.
Add kawhi at 5 and your list is set.
@@madderz952 yes Kawhi in Toronto indeed. I’ll edit the list
@@PrinceHarry419joker over Gianni’s for sure
@@PrinceHarry419this is the official list
Kawhi does not deserve a statue in Toronto lol
Dray definitely don’t deserve no statue
😂
Exactly 😂
Only can name 4
4# Joker Nuggets
3# Giannis Bucks
2# Lebron Cavs
1# Steph Warriors
It probably would be vandalized.😂😂😂😂
But together with Steph and Klay, he deserves it. That's what Stephen A. been explaining, which I think is true. Those 3 can't be separated. They're the golden era of Golden State, I would include Steve Kerr there, as well.
In my opinion lebron only deserves a statue in cleveland, Dwayne Wade deserves one in miami, jokic deserves 1 in denver
lebron might get one in all his stops.
agreed
If we saying deserve we talking Cleveland MIA and LAL and Toronto Rapts. And each team should honor him. And people in the comments saying not mia? they retired MJ jersey 😭😭😭he’s done nothing for them.
@@Schistomaisishe does not deserve one in la. he’s only had one truly successful year there and then one good season which the lakers got swept in the wcf. He’s the greatest player in the 21st century but not a great laker.
@@Pegasus_p12 i agree, Jeanie said he's getting one already tho
I think Joker 🃏 deserves a statue in Denver. Only chip, only mvps, only finals mvp. Clearly the best and greatest player in franchise history.
Stephen A .... But he's a WHITE dude... He's only in the NBA because of his White Privilege
of course. He should at least be 3. Arguably 2 on the list. You lose statue points by leaving your team
Warriors worth before curry - 380mil
Warriors worth now - 7.7billion
It’s actually 8.3 billion now
Curry and Lebron almost single-handedly made the NBA 30 billion maybe even more in all honesty those two should have been paid even more money than they actually get.
All sports franchises in all the major leagues have skyrocketed in value. Also, the Warriors spend more than any other team. Their team salary is insanely high.
@@Paulafan5GSW won't spend a dime in luxury tax if Curry didn't exist
1. Bron - Cavs
2. Steph
3. Jokic
4. Giannis
5. Kawhi - Raptors
Gotta win a ring to get a statue and Kawhi’s run for the Raptors is legendary
If you think Klay and Dray don't deserve statues, then you haven't been watching the NBA for the last decade. Along with Curry, they are the building blocks of one of the greatest dynasties in sports history.
I’m glad someone said this. These comments are disappointing.
The best Heat statue would be Bron and Wade during their iconic Alley-Oop
Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, and David Robinson
I don’t trust bro with no info…. “He took a sip before this segment” TF 🤣
Shannon said he was high! 🤣 🤣
Klay and Draymond do not deserve a statue lmao that is absolutely ridiculous. Stephen A just rides the Warriors’ meat every single chance he gets.
Shannon didn’t understand the debate at all 😂
He doesn't even know basketball. He just came for Lebron James.
Mabye he's drinking too much of his alcohol
@@SplashMadnesslmao he Came 💦 for LBJ
Shannon just talk mostly ra"ist things , but he has no clue about basketball
Kawhi is definitely gonna have a statue in Toronto 😂😂
No, they'll probably give one to Lowry for some reason. I'm a Raptors fan and I can't understand the insane love other Raptors fans have for Lowry. He didn't play well in the playoffs. Not Derozan level choking, but not good either. He was maybe the fifth best player on the Raptors team that won the title. Kawhi, Siakam, Gasol, VanVleet were all better.
@@Paulafan5 no lol, Lowry was the floor general and the second best player. Siakam scored the second most points, he didn't literally run the offence and make timely defensive stops every single game. Lowry scored 16 pts in the first quarter of the last game and deflated the warriors in their arena.
Thanks for this an amazing show.
I was waiting for a " list is fluid " with the gand gesture 😂
How do you cut this clip here???
I don't think Lebron should get one for Miami. Definitely Cleveland. And I agree with Shannon on his list except for KD, even if he's first ballot. he didn't stay with a single franchise long enough to make a meaningful impact.
So did Kawhi
@@Bars11_ he led the raptors to their first chip in their history. that's enough to warrant one as the leader of that team, tbh.
@@Young-ep8ik huh? i said KD doesn't deserve one?
Meaningful impact ??? What impact are you expected to make after wining the chip twice , dude tore his achilles for that ball club trying to 3pit . If u justify bron getting a statue in miami then i dont see any reason why GSW cant give KD one as well .
@@be4st856 did I say you didn’t?
SAS Honorable mention at #6 Derek Fisher
And Ginobili and Tony Parker have 4 championships too. So do they deserve a statue too?
I say NO to the Klay, Draymond or the LeBron in Miami. No Way. Neither of those feel like statue worthy scenarios.
You're crazy.
LeBron definitely deserves one.
2x Finals MVP
2x Champion
2x NBA MVP
4x NBA Finals Appearances
@@Astros-dz4bxYes, he put up stats, was a key contributor to that team winning. However, It was D-Wade's team. I mean, the Cleveland one I get, most definitely. He's from there, came back there to win it.
Shannon's list is actually SOLID!
Nah Steph has to be first and kd ain’t deserve one
Here's the actual ranking & what their poses should be:
1. Steph - shooting form
2. Bron (Cleveland) - chalk toss
T-3. Giannis - finals mvp pose
T-3. Jokic - sombor shuffle
This my most excited mild take ever
The Raps should 100% do a statue of Kawhi's 4 bounces shot vs Philly because it'll be a very long time before they're a contender again (I say this as a Raps fan)
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's ridiculous you can't have a statue for just a year played with a franchise even if you went 98-0(regular/playoffs)
For one season? 😂 Raps fans proving why no one took y’all serious in the first place
@@DarthBinky89 we all don't feel that way stop discriminating. You're probably a wizards fan😂
not really ridiculous considering Kawhi is their best and greatest ever player
Steph should be the new logo when he retires considering how basketball is played today & him being why
Perfect list
Russ deserves one in OKC despite them not winning.. his importance to that town is comparable to AI in Philly
This dude humorous
Miami doesn’t need a Lebron statue. Just hang his jersey and commission a mural. DWade gets a statue. Lebron gets a statue in Cleveland. Jokic gets a statue in Denver. Warriors build 3 statues for Steph, Klay, and Draymond. Milwaukee build one for Giannis. It’s not rocket science. Jokic is top 3.
I live in Denver I've said put Jokic riding a Bronco outside Ball Arena call it good lmfao
Pls make a Khawi one where he sits on the bench tanking
Klay and Dreymond is astrocious.
In order to get a statue the criteria should be: winning at least one championship as the best player.
Being a part of a franchise for at least 5-10 years or more.
That simply applies to
LeBron (Cavs)
Steph (Warriors)
Jokic (Denver)
Giannis (Milwaukee)
There's a case to be made for KD and Kawhi, but at this point I don't see why a particular franchise would give the a statue.
Kd should not get a statue
Seeing all these comments bout “Tim Duncan”. But no one was listening… Stephen A said ‘current active players’. Y’all deaf!
I think it would be more interesting to predict players who could earn one if they pull through for their franchise; to me it's Booker (number one to me), Luka, Embiid, Butler, and as a long shot Ja.
I'd love to see Brunson as a Knicks fan but statues don't feel like something the Knicks would even do.
Love some JJ one the ESPN
Why would anyone get a statue for ONE ring in a place? That's just ridiculous.
The disappointment on JJ's face when they first showed him after Stephen A put Klay and Draymond 4th killed me 😂
He's clearly a hypocrite that is dying inside of hate. These ringless individuals usually hate the GSW alongside Chuck Barney.
Phil Jackson & Steve Kerr ✨✌️😉
I agree with this list
If Draymond gets a statue he will officially be the most overrated player in NBA history 😂
Never averaged 15 points. Never averaged 10 rebounds or 10 assists. Never first team All-NBA.
If the warriors would have won 2016 championship he would have been finals mvp
@@bluerangerx11 He was the MVP. For the Cavaliers.
watch the game not spread sheets
@@kakashihaa314 What does he do that contributes besides pass the ball to Steph and set moving screens🤔
It’s really DWADE in Miami!!!
Steph Clay Draymond statue together is 🔥🔥
Kawhi at toronto, jokic, Giannis, steph, lebron at Lakers with his mile stones that he hit being a laker and 1 chip.
Better start the GoFundMe now on the Klay/Dray statue now Steven A
fate of the universe is on the line, i want Igoudala's statue
Klay and dray this boy on da weeeeeed😂😂
Stephen A really doesn’t duck with Joker. I was trying to ignore it since he didn’t include him in his top 3 MVP favs this season. Smh
No white dude will ever make a SAS list.
Curry Klay and Dray should get a statue together one of the trios with the most playoff impact in history of ball.
They all changed the game whether people want to be honest or not🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
Might be cuz Im cooked but Stephen A. absolutely COOKED with that list😂
How are you going to have Klay & Draymond and no Iggy? Literally won finals MVP🤣
Because everyone knows that was a bogus award
Because they aren't going to have Klay and Draymond.
@@ethan2060 I definitely agree, just saying you can’t mention Klay and Dray without Iggy
@@boooogyes u can, they won without Iggy too
@@boooog because Klay and Draymond are 2 and 3 in their dinasty. Iggy is 5
We lucky we got Unc Shark on First take.
Where would you even put KD and Kawhi statues?!…Gs?!…San antonio?! Nah retire the Jerseys TF we talking about rn
kawhi in toronto easy
Sas should be working on Wall St.
I wouldnt give Draymond and Klay a Starue... only main guy should ever get a statue
Shannon called that man high😂
SAS said you cannot separate Klay, Dray, and Step, but then he separated them on his list 😂
Bron in Cleveland (maybe Miami)
Steph with GSW
Giannis in Milwaukee
Jokic in Denver
That's it right now in my opinion
Kd and Kawhi doesn’t deserve a statue that was wild
you should make a list of all worst colleagues at espn. all of them. ha 😁
Music isn’t loud enough
1. Steph in Oakland/SanFran (hands down)
2. Lebron in Cleveland (sentimental reasons)
3. Giannis in Milwaukee (he is the franchise)
4. Jokic in Denver (he is the franchise)
5. Kawhi in LA (IF the Clippers win it all - which they're not - because he would have been the most impactful MVP on 3 diff teams that won chips - like LeBron)
*6. Victor Wembanyama in San Antonio (for what he's Gonna Do - lol) facts!
He's not current, but Vince Carter needs one in Toronto
Stephen A really got a gold suit on
This sister hosting is gorgeous
I never heard a ninja say oh my god I wish I played like Tim Duncan
4/d of this list is essentially talking about 2 people...
The disrespect for Tim Duncan is just Outrageous 🤦🏾♂️
In no particular order:
1) Steph
2) Lebron (Cavs for sure; Heat and Lakers optional)
3) Jokic
4) Giannis
5) Kawhi (Toronto)
You have to give Kawhi a statue. I don't know if/when toronto will ever win a chip again.
And also, that chip means ALOT. So many nba teams that have had hall of famers still don't have a chip; including the suns, the magic, the okc thunder.
Lebron should not get a statue for LA and Kawhi shouldn't get a statue for Toronto.
The heat glazed Jordan so hard they retired his jersey for literally existing. No way in hell Lebron don't deserve a statue immediately after retiring no matter what bs happened in 2020.
@@thadonjuan2339the guy who won toronto their first chip doesnt deserve a statue in toronto?
Bro. you went too high on this one. Statues are for the people to remember the person who gave their time and effort to an organization and made an impact that is beyond championships or any other awards on their community. A championship can be a contributing factor but it doesn't based on it. Kawhi is clearly not that long on the Toronto to have his own statue. Sure he does bring a championship to the team but being iconic on the team like Carter. He's way too out of it.
@@timnoskill Then he should have a statue of the Spurs because he also won them a chip. Dudes like KD on the Warriors. Chauncey Billups for the piston. Cedric Maxwell is on the Celtics. and the list goes on.
Shannon, if a player gets a statue then it goes to the city where they played. So how does location not matter?? What team would honor the KD statue?
Kawhi humiliated BOTH Steph and LeBron in the finals, completely destroyed their teams and those two are considered the best players of this era - what does that make Kawhi? And how does he not get a statue?
I am tired of the Kawhi disrespect.
🧢
Note to the producers: turn down the background music FFS.
At one point you gotta stop the music ESPN common
Imagine as a prank someone put a statue of Reggie Miller doing the choking gesture outside of Madison Square Garden.
😂legenday
Vince Carter deserves a statue in Toronto
lol. Oh, I needed that. Funniest thing I've read in a long time. Thank you for that.
@@Paulafan5 Lool okay maybe not a statue but I think he deserves his jersey retired for what he did for basketball in Canada
1. Steph
2. Lebron (Cleveland)
3. Giannis
4. Joker
5. Westbrook (OKC)
Draymond would be the least talented person in the history of statues to receive one.
Dame in Portland... Even though they never won, he gave the franchise everything he had every season even when he didn't have much to work with
They had enough to get the wcf.
JJ has to be so busy. Media company, podcast, prime time game calling, first take
1. Lebron Cavs
2. Steph GWS
3. Lebron Miami
4. Kawhi Toronto
5. Giannis
- Could easily see Steph number 1.
- Lakers Bron could probably have jersey in the rafters (IST, NBA champs, broke scoring record etc.)
- Dray and Klay def have to have jersey retired.
- That Giannis playoff run is literally legendary (revenge on heat, beat KD, and beat the suns averaging 35-5-13)
Bro JJ was about to make a solid argument and the video ends 🤦🏻♂️
No one mentioning Kyle Lowry is criminal. He's arguably Toronto's most important player ever and he was a key part of the Championship. Their only championship in history.
Best A'list all time... There is just no way you're separating the greatness of klay and green from curry . They're legendary together. The story is not complete with both.
Replace 4 with Steve Kerr lol
The glaze for curry and the warriors by SAS is fkn ridiculous
Duncan would be actively mortified with the prospect of a statue of him. Leonard wouldn't give it the time of day either way
This is the perfect list
W list!
1. Steph
2. Bron in Cleveland
3. Giannis
4. Joker
5. Kyle Lowry in Toronto
6. KD for the Thunder
1. Stephen Curry
2. Lebron James (Cleveland)
3. Russell Westbrook (OKC)
4. Giannis Antetokounmpo
5. Nikola Jokic
I take Russell Westbrook over Giannis and Jokic because of his prolonged greatness in Oklahoma and his love for that city, who undoubtedly reciprocated.
You high lol
Bro top 5 players consist of 6 players 🤦🏾♂️
Whose that caramel milk dud in the background
