I love how Stephen A just screams in disgust after anything Max says, as if he just assumes it's wrong. When Max said Warriors w/ Kawhi would beat Raptors w/ KD Stephen A. was like "WHAAAAAAAt". Then he actually thought about it and was like "you're right"
Mmmm I'm not gonna say that's egregious but it is a false equivalency.Kawhi dosent fit well on the warriors his play style is very old school as for the warriors who is known for 3s is very new school. Kawhi on the warriors would be nice but that's like adding the wrong sauce to a recipe. Sure the dish would probably still taste great but it cant reach it's full potential. Simply because Kawhi either cant or is unwilling to conform and play a modern style of basketball either shoot 3s or beat your man off the dribble and go for a dunk or a layup. Now putting KD on the RAPTORS would would work cause of repertoire of skills on offense. Put in the fact that KD is crazy long then you'll probably get a better match than kawhi imo.
Donny Jones No that's inaccurate. Kawhi played fine with the Spurs who's ball movement system was modeled after by the Warriors and many other teams. He would fit with GS without a problem.
Actually SAS needs his basketball card revoked because let's not act like Max is not ahead of SAS on the prediction score card. Everytime Max smokes SAS on Lakers VS Clippers, SAS conveniently never shows up the next day at work.
Bboi Black they’d probably still win lol cause if Kawhi stayed Danny would have too and there already too 5 defensively with them it would have been more insane all the players would have gotten better like Pascal and FVV the chemistry would have been better Raptors would have been too deep and too good defensively for the Lakers
Raps would cake walk their way to the finals with Kawhi and Finals wouldn't be a breeze but the Raps beat the Lakers without Kawhi this year. Fully healthy Lakers
@@KingQuattro3 yes we do lol the clippers didn't even know Paul George was available. The GM of the Clippers said that himself and the OKC GM said he had no plans to break up the team
Buddy the raptors got gifted that chip and anyone who watched the finals or the season would agree. If the Warriors don’t have KD and only Klay and Steph the would’ve probably won. It came to them losing both KD, Klay, and that’s while the Center has a broken collar bone as well. 2 of the 3 superstars aren’t playing and another starter cant lift his arms above his head without excruciating pain.... and you still almost lose the series? That’s called a charity Chip and Toronto better enjoy it because they won’t see another NBA championship in 20+ years.
@@tjayk9127 man u big mad 😂😂 well, golden state won tittles where the other teams had injuries steve kerr even said it. so all the if and but and could haves, Raptors are champs bottom line!!!

+Quinton Dorsey Lakers have gotten better since that game so it’s therefore irrelevant. Warriors swept the cavs in the regular season when they won 73 games and then lost to them in the finals
I think Stephen A forgets 1 - he thought the same thing last year and he was wrong. 2 - this guy couldnt pick a NBA team to win it all in his life. 3 - Toronto already slapped up Lakers without Kawhi. 4 - Doesnt think Luka is a Star lol Stephen A needs his basketball knowledge revoked!
SD Fishin why is your knowledge automatically superior to his and means yours is the truth . Sick Of people all assuming kawhi is the best and wait till playoffs but got on lakers when they lose in the regular season .
Why is SAS so shocked at that statement? Toronto was a well rounded team that played D and had shooters around Kawhi. Thinking they have no chance against AD and Lebron’s Lakers is just ridiculous🤔
Max’s nba cards are gonna be stripped? Stephen A your predictions last postseason against the Raps got shoved down your throat each round and your still arguing against them? Kawhi and the Raps beat Giannis and the powerhouse Bucks 4 straight after being down 2 just a few months ago and you think post-championship with the same Raps team with Kawhi they couldn’t handle the same Bucks team and an equal Lakers team? One of your Lakers 3 losses this season as a full-strength team was against the same Raps team but without Kawhi, Kyle, Serge, and Danny...
Stephen A has always underestimated the Toronto Raptors and last year they made him look foolish. It will be fun to see what happens to Stephen A if the Toronto Raptors beat his LA Lakers team again this year. Toronto might be the team that finally makes him crack.
Plus on top of that THE RAPTORS was an all time defensive team. You got Kawhi,Pau Gasol,Pascal Siakiam(very long),Kyle Lowry who is scrappy not to mention their bench play hard too. If Kawhi stayed on the team but could also lure in a paul george without giving up anybody significant it with Kawhi they're the favorites but bring in paul george the chip is already theirs.
Lol @ 1:10 SAS: “what?!?” Max: “That’s right...” SAS: “WHAT?!??!?...” Then SAS goes on to agree with the statement Max made... 😆😆😆 I love these guys man.
Thank you. Kawhi has explicitly stated how he feels about the regular season. And the one regular season game he came up against Lebron so far, he absolutely dominated him.

The fact that they were injured last season doenst change the fact that the raptors would not win the championship this season. Raptors destroyed the number 1 seed lakers without kawhi. Max is right.
They also lost to the mavs at home🤨so I guess the mavs would beat them in the playoffs too? Just like they said about Atlanta and Chicago when facing lebron

I think this is the way it is- Kawhi is a terrific player who has benefitted a lot for the situations he is in. But that is not his fault. But he can never get on LBJ's level in terms of carrying loads.
Is funny how they already saying “if Kawhi would be in the Raptors now they win the chip” Season hasn’t ended yet, we don’t know who will win, injuries can happen. Also, it’ll be funny when neither LA teams win the chip. SAS will eat his words.
I know it’s a crazy long shot mainly because they have no super stars, and it could just be the 60 win hawks all over again, but I can see them competing with the best of them, atleast in the east.
Warriors fell apart, lebron went up against a healthy warrior squad over and over again. One time without both of his stars too. Also look at the team he had around him the first 7 years haha
@@xwers1234 they say that like kyrie did not score 40 points in the finals in raptors nobody could have done that but kawhi maybe next year but not this one fact
Because y'all are dumb lol Bucks won 60 games last year and got smoked by Toronto in 4 straight. And now Toronto is better from top to bottom. Add Kawhi its another wrap. Lakers aint the Warriors.
Galvatron Yes they would. If Kawhi resigned so would Danny Green. Raptors have a better system and a better coach than the Lakers. Along with Pascal become a true star player now. Raptors in 6
SAS is on record saying he doesn't want a team from Canada to win the title again because he doesn't like going through customs. SAS has no right to call other people out when he CLEARLY has made up his mind of which teams deserve to win regardless of the facts.
“I was never sold on the Bucks”- Stephen A Smith And last year he said they would go the Finals Max: If Kawhi stayed in Toronto they would win SAS: Nope And last year SAS also did not think they would win
. As a Die Hard Raptors fan since 08, I rather lose to a healthy Warriors team than what happened this year. After this chip, we've been getting numerous, and a countless number of delusional bandwagoners, and I find it really frustrating how stupid they sound. They're making our fanbase look like a joke. Additionally, the incident in Game 5 of the Finals took our fanbase to a clown status to a fucking circus status. We deserved to enter the Finals, but we DID NOT DESERVE TO WIN IT. At this point, I rather be a Hornets fan out of all honesty. Don't give me all this "Injuries are part of the game" type bullshit. I'm happy we won the chip, but I'm more frustrated with the impact.
I feel like Max makes valid points but Steven A thinks they’re outrageous. All of Max’s points are debatable at the very worst but not out of this world.
Wait a second. Max has an incredible point here. If Kawhi wins another chip with the Clippers this year and another FMVP, he’s STILL NOT EVEN GOING TO BE CONSIDERED AS THE BEST RN? He’ll be the first player EVER to win 3 rings and 3 fmvps with three different teams lol.
Egg14 able very true. They’re both going for it. I guess my point is with Max. If Kawhi manages to do it, he should be considered the best rn. I guess LeBron is already permanently considered the best rn regardless of anything else that happens in the league
I disagree. Lebron WAS the best, but now you got to take age in consideration. To still be able to play as he does and still be probably top 3 is incredible, but Kawhi right now surely is better until proven otherwise (in the playoffs because that's where the best players are decided not the regular season).
@@janismuzikants9320 No. We're in the regular season RIGHT NOW so we decide the best players RIGHT NOW in the regular season. Kawhi is not the best player in the world. You can't be the best right now because you played well months ago in the playoffs. KaLoad management is definetly proving otherwise right now. Just fucking listen to yourself for just one second.
@@goatruso3198 don't be silly. You know this is not true. When was the last time regular season MVP was also named best player in the world? Probably when Lebron WAS MVP several years ago in his prime and there was no discussion. After that he was still named best even not being regular season MVP because of his playoff success. But that was couple years ago (missed playoffs last year). By your logic, if we decide the best player right now, should we say 3 best players right now are Giannis, Harden and Luka (MVP frontrunners)? Probably not, right? Because playoff success matters, Kawhi is clearly the reigning finals MVP right now and unless he plays terrible in regular season (not gonna happen) you have to wait till post season to see who comes out on top. Because that's what matters.
I am tired of the narrative that Kawhi was the reason the freak struggled against them in the playoffs. Kawhi was great, but it was a team effort fortified by pascal who primarily defended him and Marc gasol former DPOY who met him at the rim. That team was defensively stacked.. it wasn’t just Kawhi. No one person can lock up any of the best players in the league. It takes a team.
Agree with Max. I know espn is getting low ratings but do they really need to make these scenes, come on Stephen a stop being such a cliché, or at least try not to make it so obvious.
@@rimskyrichard8651 Delusional. Raps already beat Lakers without 2 of their top guys and without Kawhi. Raps would certainly be the favs to repeat with him.
I don't think it's that unreasonable to say. Toronto with Kawhi is a really strong team. Especially with Pascal a year older and a year better, Powell playing better, Vanvleet playing better and OG playing some really good basketball. Toronto had one of the most versatile defensive teams ever constructed, so yes, the offense can't compete with the Lakers, but basketball is won on both ends of the court.
van vleet is averaging 18 siakam is averaging 25 lowry is averaging 19 powell has 15 serge has 13 Anunoby is back If the raptors still had kawhi i'd pick them to be the favorites

Because y'all are dumb lol Bucks won 60 games last year and got smoked by Toronto in 4 straight. And now Toronto is better from top to bottom. Add Kawhi its another wrap. Lakers aint the Warriors.
@@GonKillua85 lakers aint the warriors? Did you even watch the finale?
Lowkey kinda agree with Max on the raptors take. Raptors would beat the Lakers in 6 or 7 games with Kawhi.
No.
Manas Sarkar falsehood
That at all 😂
The funny thing is Max is right, the Raptors beat the Lakers already and they’ve shut down all the leagues best players without Kawhi
B Jonesy Raptors would not beat the Lakers in a 7 game stretch
Galvatron Yes they would. If Kawhi resigned so would Danny Green. Raptors have a better system and a better coach than the Lakers. Along with Pascal become a true star player now. Raptors in 6
SAS is on record saying he doesn't want a team from Canada to win the title again because he doesn't like going through customs. SAS has no right to call other people out when he CLEARLY has made up his mind of which teams deserve to win regardless of the facts.
People really act like the warriors were nothing before KD joined them
“I was never sold on the Bucks”- Stephen A Smith
And last year he said they would go the Finals
Max: If Kawhi stayed in Toronto they would win
SAS: Nope
And last year SAS also did not think they would win
Max has a point if Kawhi stayed with Toronto they'd be in the Finals,and a better match up against the Lakers.
2:10 honestly agree
Max is actually right here.
Blasssphrmus
Bruce Leroy nice counter argument pea brain
@Bruce Leroy so paskal siakham averaging 25 ppg and Kawhi and all the raptors depth can't beat lebron and AD. And who dwigh Howard? Rondo' dfkm.
Nah he woudnt be the champ if he was on the raptors this year, LAL too good
2:02 Stephen A’s reaction 😆
Everybody except the raptors fans: “if klay was healthy”
Raptors fan: 😐healthy Kawhi, OG, not broken finger Kyle Lowry
This would also mean if KD was healthy...and let's be real here...
Brandon Charles Kevin Durant healthy they would sweep them
. As a Die Hard Raptors fan since 08, I rather lose to a healthy Warriors team than what happened this year. After this chip, we've been getting numerous, and a countless number of delusional bandwagoners, and I find it really frustrating how stupid they sound. They're making our fanbase look like a joke. Additionally, the incident in Game 5 of the Finals took our fanbase to a clown status to a fucking circus status. We deserved to enter the Finals, but we DID NOT DESERVE TO WIN IT. At this point, I rather be a Hornets fan out of all honesty. Don't give me all this "Injuries are part of the game" type bullshit. I'm happy we won the chip, but I'm more frustrated with the impact.
I'm a raps fan, and as soon as KD came on the floor in the finals, all I felt was FEAR 😵
@@Butteebean5775 There's zero shame in losing to the KD Warriors which we would've had KD been healthy.
0:00 their faces are priceless lol
Looking back Toronto is really a good team without Kawhi, with Kawhi, they could win chip this year
Toronto would beat any team in the west if they kept Kawhi, and Siakim was balling like he is. NO QUESTION.
SAS looked like he was having a live 📺 stroke 😂😂😂
Max ain’t wrong.
And they still are sleeping and underrating the raptors, even after they won a championship...
After Kawhi won a championship*
Cheerioss - nope. “They.” Kawhi was the driving factor but didn’t do it alone
colem912 Kawhi deserves 80% of the credit 10% Nick nurse, and 10% Drake
Cheerioss - did you mean to have it add up to 110%😂? Also don’t sleep on Pascal and Lowry in game 6, tho Lowry was also awful at points
kaleel clark Yeah
I feel like Max makes valid points but Steven A thinks they’re outrageous. All of Max’s points are debatable at the very worst but not out of this world.
nobody:
stephen a: jaja bachulier
how does molly keep a straight face!? stephen a. got me 💀
2:02 here y’all go
Why is SAS acting like the raptors didn’t beat the lakers?
Goatin Aroun kawhi averaged under 15 a game he was not the best player on that team
jacob T what team?
Wait a second. Max has an incredible point here. If Kawhi wins another chip with the Clippers this year and another FMVP, he’s STILL NOT EVEN GOING TO BE CONSIDERED AS THE BEST RN? He’ll be the first player EVER to win 3 rings and 3 fmvps with three different teams lol.
Hussein Hamir Lebron can do that too
Egg14 able very true. They’re both going for it. I guess my point is with Max. If Kawhi manages to do it, he should be considered the best rn. I guess LeBron is already permanently considered the best rn regardless of anything else that happens in the league
I disagree. Lebron WAS the best, but now you got to take age in consideration. To still be able to play as he does and still be probably top 3 is incredible, but Kawhi right now surely is better until proven otherwise (in the playoffs because that's where the best players are decided not the regular season).
@@janismuzikants9320 No. We're in the regular season RIGHT NOW so we decide the best players RIGHT NOW in the regular season. Kawhi is not the best player in the world. You can't be the best right now because you played well months ago in the playoffs. KaLoad management is definetly proving otherwise right now. Just fucking listen to yourself for just one second.
@@goatruso3198 don't be silly. You know this is not true.
When was the last time regular season MVP was also named best player in the world? Probably when Lebron WAS MVP several years ago in his prime and there was no discussion. After that he was still named best even not being regular season MVP because of his playoff success. But that was couple years ago (missed playoffs last year).
By your logic, if we decide the best player right now, should we say 3 best players right now are Giannis, Harden and Luka (MVP frontrunners)? Probably not, right? Because playoff success matters, Kawhi is clearly the reigning finals MVP right now and unless he plays terrible in regular season (not gonna happen) you have to wait till post season to see who comes out on top. Because that's what matters.
I am tired of the narrative that Kawhi was the reason the freak struggled against them in the playoffs. Kawhi was great, but it was a team effort fortified by pascal who primarily defended him and Marc gasol former DPOY who met him at the rim. That team was defensively stacked.. it wasn’t just Kawhi. No one person can lock up any of the best players in the league. It takes a team.
Agree with Max. I know espn is getting low ratings but do they really need to make these scenes, come on Stephen a stop being such a cliché, or at least try not to make it so obvious.
Agree with thaaat blasphemy????????
Delusional. That raptors team wouldn’t even be able to handle Westbrook and harden let alone L.A
@@rimskyrichard8651 Delusional. Raps already beat Lakers without 2 of their top guys and without Kawhi. Raps would certainly be the favs to repeat with him.
@@nickisactor In a serious without Kawhi, no.
I don't think it's that unreasonable to say. Toronto with Kawhi is a really strong team. Especially with Pascal a year older and a year better, Powell playing better, Vanvleet playing better and OG playing some really good basketball. Toronto had one of the most versatile defensive teams ever constructed, so yes, the offense can't compete with the Lakers, but basketball is won on both ends of the court.
Remember when max used to be a bronsexual now he likes kawhi. He’s the definition of caught up in the moment
Pepperidge farms remembers
Tiger Hoods It’s called being unbiased know the FUCKING difference
The thumbnail alone on this made me laugh, I'm smiling as typing this, LOL.
Max was actually right lol😂
What exactly happened between SAS and Max... They were great together. Until they weren't.
Same goes for SAS and Skip...
This ain’t sit too well
Love you guys literally in tears right now
van vleet is averaging 18
siakam is averaging 25
lowry is averaging 19
powell has 15
serge has 13
Anunoby is back
If the raptors still had kawhi i'd pick them to be the favorites
First take needs Max as much as it needs Stephen A Smith
