The fact that Doc was defensive about the question shows that pressure is getting to him.
i mean, it's been brought up quite a bit the last few years so this wasn't unexpected. but yeah, if they don't close out tmr SHEESHH 😳
come on raptors make history
And should be !can we stop being soft this guy earn $10m a year so of course you should be in pressure
Jesus loves you He died on the cross for our sins He's the only way to Heaven
@@joeyaragon6649 Who and what is the Great Mystery? And I would advise you to be educated on the fact that Jesus did exist, wether you believe He is God is a question but having Him exist isn’t up for debate, Historians both christian and non-christian agree that the man Jesus once lived 200 years ago.
One of the rare few times when Kenny would make a point and actually make sense with it. Doc is definitely feeling the pressure. He's two losses away from becoming the first HC to blow a 3-0 lead.
Very few and rare indeed....
loooool hope it doesnt happen just to avoid being attached to that resume
@@seamless70 Yes, being the first and being in a group of 1 is very few and rare....
Shaq said imma say the bs in this segment today 😂
@@datsapaddlin m mom
Looks 90
Shaq was so big and dominant. Shaq just fails to realize that not every team has a player like himself. Coaching and adjustments matter specially in the playoffs.
Is Joel embiid not big and dominate for the sixers?
@@jazzy.canadian4760 offensively? No, also he's playing with a hurt finger IIRC
@@PuchuKt embiid doesn’t dominate offensively??
@@klo4880 Embiid is dominant but, his game isn’t like Shaq’s. He doesn’t dunk all over the opponent’s defense like Shaq did. Also, with a torn ligament in his finger, he’s not gonna be able to dominate like he did before
@@klo4880 not to the extent of prime Shaq, but pretty close still
Keep in mind Shaq played in an era where scoring was much harder to come by
Coaching is important and even Shaq knows it, that's why he got quiet when Kenny mentioned Phil Jackson
It wasnt Kenny it was Ernie
Coaching 100% matters but in this case if your best player on your team is scoring 15 points with 5 turnovers then you have no shot at winning, embiid will always play good its up to harden to step up
@@thebridge7970
And Charles: How many championships did you win before Phil got there? Shaq: None.
Kenny malfunctioning after that bus rider statement from Chuck
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kobe would have slapped the stupid out of Shaq for saying all of that and trying to take all the credit
Thats why they had beef
Exactly I remember a game it was against the Utah Jazz and the Lakers were going to lose that game.
Kobe had a death stare directly at Mike D'Antoni he was Furious that's an example of coaching matters.
Kobe looked at him like you don't know what the hell you're doing.
He acts like he won rings with average coaches 😂
@@datsapaddlin I could’ve coached Shaq to a ring in 2000
@@bradtitsenpolo3931 No you couldn’t have 😂. They may not even get past Portland if they ain’t have Phil as a coach. Shaq had his best year ever when Phil became the coach. They won a championship immediately when Phil became the coach and went on a 3 peat.
Every great player/team is accompanied by a great coach period.
Bill Russell with Auerbach
Magic/Kareem with Riley
Isaiah and the Bad Boys with Chuck Daly
MJ, Kobe and Shaq with Phil Jackson
Duncan with Popovich
Steph with Steve Kerr
LeBron/Wade with Spoelstra and indirectly, Pat Riley
This comment simply should have more likes. It's real simple, and this is it.
TBH, no one can win this argument. You could say all these coaches were lucky to get generational talents in their teams, you could also say these players became great largely due to being coached by these all-time great coaches. It's a mix of both, definitely.
But all of the teams that you listed have great players on them.
@@derrickferguson8229 read the comment again.
Can’t agree with the last one..
Lebron would be in my eyes the exception Spoestra is not a HOF coach..
Also Lebron won with 2 bum coaches in Lue and Blatt.. doubt there was much coaching there??😂😂
With all due respect the Lakers aint hittin a 3 peat with Del Harris 😂. Phil Jackson brought in the triangle and the rest was history. He also had Pat Riley for his 4th ring. Shaq trippin 😅.
Literally the two best coaches in NBA history
Facts
Stick to watching wrestling kid. Shaq knows more in his finger than your whole body when it comes to basketball.
@@romanreigns1p4pking55 Lol nice troll. I’m not saying I know more basketball but to say coaching don’t matter is ridiculous.
Yes and No. Yes Shaq coulda stepped it up and won before that. No because what actually happened. So he didn’t necessarily prove his point.
I like doc, but until he wins another title, he'll always be remembered as the only guy to blow a 3-1 lead THREE TIMES... Kenny is right, he's feeling MAD pressure.
It's simplistic people like you that carry false narratives
@@TheShepdawg9 what's false about Doc coaching teams that have lost a 3-1 lead 3 times?
Doc is not a good coach
he still been to the finals twice and won one
Doc is a champion. #10 Winninest percentage by NBA coach ALL TIME. #10 MOST wins by NBA coach ALL times and has A SOLID chance to be number 6 in 3 years and and number 1 in like 7. S.T.F.U. PERIOD.
kenny is right individual greatness will win games but ultimately its coaching and individual greatness combined that will win championships. Shaq trippin. But he is right in the sense that players need to step up by hitting those shots and executing those plays, plays decided by the COACH
I lowkey think shaq doesn’t have a high basketball IQ for him to say coaching doesn’t mattered is just an ignorant statement on his part when he was getting swept before and after Phil didn’t he think coaching mattered?some of the stuff he says is mind boggling
Shaq is dumb that is the truth
He got a great gift thats why he dont have to think
Just watch his basketball analysis and you'd know he doesn't have a high basketball IQ
He’s here for stirring up emotions, nothing more.
Coaching doesn’t really matter.
Lol sound like Doc feeling the pressure more than anyone rn
Lets be real they’re asking him that cuz he’s the only coach that could choke like this 😂
I think they're missing Shaq's point: if a team gets to 3 and 0 with that combination of coaches and players, and then goes 0-4 the rest of the way, you can't blame all that on the coaches. The player part of the equation has to take some, maybe most, of the responsibility. I feel that's probably true here too with the performance of Philly's stars.
On the other hand, the turnaround by Toronto has a big coach's element, as he's made it possible by his adjustments for his players to play their best, most effective games.
Yea that is Shaq point lol they all get that but Doc has a track record of blowing these leads that's the issue so the coaching played a bigger part in those collapses
well we can use your argument for toronto that it was the coach's adjustments that made the players play the most effective. Can't doc make adjustments? it's definitely coach and players combined fault.
That’s fine that the entire team should get blamed but then he goes coaching don’t matter 😂. That part was where he was wrong.
@@datsapaddlin yeah that part where he says it doesn't matter. remember the episode when twolves lost 2 huge leads? what was shaq yappin? bad coaching actions - totally contradicting his stand there
@@isniuq He was always all over the place 😂.
Shaq: "excuses makes cowards of us all."
Kenny: "no that's fatigue." 😂😂😂
Shaq needs a coach to teach him how to win arguments 😂😂🤷🏿♂️
I knew I wasn’t the only one that was dying 😂😂😂 this show is tv gold lol
I didn't quite get the joke lol, what does it mean, I'm not a native speaker
@@varun3253 “fatigue makes cowards of us all” is a known saying in America so with Shaq saying “excuses” is hilarious because that’s not how the saying goes and his response is, “whatever” 😂😂 it’s just so fitting of shaq lmao
@@papanonstoppa9686 oh I didnt know that it was a popular saying. I was wondering why replacing the word excuses with fatigue was funny lolol
There's a reason why MJ retired again when the Bulls gor rid Phil Jackson. He knew how important coaching is to the game.
@Honest Westbrick Fan #1 Ty Lue and Spoelstra would like a word.
@Honest Westbrick Fan #1 so was Jordan really that good or was it just Phil’s system? The system that has won him 11 titles? 🥱😵💫😂
@@TW__________ he didn’t win 11 titles..‘Jordan won 6 and he won 5 with LA.. pls stop.. the man coached at least 6 first ballet HOF.. but he didn’t play a minute.. it wasn’t the system.. players play the game not coaches.. ✌️
@@TW__________ if it was the system why didn’t the Knicks win when he was coaching them??? Players make the coach.. players win chips…
@@jtlite1 he was never the knicks coach lololol. He was the president of operations.
It's Coaching matter. KD & Kyrie said they don't need a head Coach. Look at Nets now.
Facts and I’m a nets fan so I see it every game
nick nurse coaching that team, they win the chip easy. but dont mind me lol. just a raps fan
@@pbusyrichard4600 Who were you a fan of before the last two years?
@@cax1175 bro cmon there are no such thing as a new raps fan. Our culture runs so deep, the fans that cheer in the raptors today have been fans for years. Nobody willingly is a raptors fan unless you’ve lived in Canada, everyone hates the raptors
@@smokedyamans2181 he’s talking to the Nets fan
Shaq has a lot of bad takes but this is one of his worst.
Literally 😂
He is not wrong thou
So how is doc rivers responsible for James harden not shooting well
He's not wrong, in this case the coaching situation doesn't matter when James Harden is scoring 15 points with 5 turnovers... he's shooting 20% from the three this entire series... he's struggling
Shaq don’t know how to setup his argument. He have a point but he don’t know how to articulate it.
If there's a coach who's capable of losing and blowing a 3-0 lead for the first time in league history, Doc is that coach. Having that in his resume would be a hella achievement.
Please let them blow a 3-0 lead it would the most hilarious moment in sports history
I’m praying for it 🙏🏾😭
I’m prayingggg!!!
And watch Philly burn down
When someone is dealt different cards yet get the same result, you gotta look at the common denominator. 100% of the blame might not be on coach, but it’s a great deal of responsibility on him.
Exactly what Kenny said, but Shaq won’t listen.
The more Shaq taks the more Kobe makes sense.
Doc Rivers is a legend in his own mind
The coaches set the tone, it's up to the players to finish the job. I feel ya SQ!
ok but if a team is up 3-1, the losing teams coach will have to throw something crazy together and try to break through. that would be good coaching, obviosuly. if there is no counter to the good coaching to win 3 in a row, then its bad coaching. the players are there to hit shots not draw up defensive schemes that lock down durant type players. doc cant draw up a scheme to get harden past flynn.....
But if the coach set the wrong tone, isnt that the coach's fault?
@@xD0100 According to SQ if the players good enough than that coach will have cover.
That was weird that Doc even answered those questions. It shows he’s thinking it
Kenny hasn’t been the same since the bus driver/bus rider. 🤣
Yea, shaq was trippin this segment though lmao
I feel like they should win but if the Sixers blow this and make history Doc should be sent to go coach the Shanghai Sharks from now on.
🤣😂🤣 they gonna win
@@tedroycalder3936 I think they will but I’m just sayin 😂. Ain’t no way this series should be even going this far. Raptors just got more fight in them.
@@datsapaddlin wouldn’t mind if they loose no cap 😂🤣 I don’t see them beating Miami
@@tedroycalder3936 lol I don't either 🤣
If doc blows a 3-0 I’m sorry he can’t coach again
Shaq's analysis of just about everything is from what happened in his career and nothing else, forgetting how other worldly dominant he was in the paint and the amount of leverage coaches would give a guy like him.
He just has low IQ
He practiced this answer in the mirror for years
After watching this rant, I'm now convinced Raptors are taking this to 7 and winning the series. The pressure is choking this philly team.
Man I LOVED Shaq growing up as a player. Top 3 favorite, but for the past few years he’s been low key annoying the hell out of me as an analyst 🤦🏾♂️
Hes just not a good analyst..
You just gotta get some icy hot for all that sorness lol or general insurance 🤣
He’s just there because he’s Shaq! He really brings nothing to the panel but “ Shaqtin a Fool” coughing, laughing, and asking Chuck to repeat the joke. He’s like a kid cutting up in class!
Chuck and Kenny are more professional and knowledgeable. Chuck and Kenny are more in-depth w/ their analysis… they know their stuff. They know how to joke and reel it back as professionals.
Doc bringing up the old magic team is how you know he is feeling the pressure, you would think Doc would be smarter than this, he gave the media exactly what they wanted and now we know FOR SURE that the pressure is getting to him!🙄 and Shaq CAN'T be serious right he sound like Kyrie "we don't need a coach" like what??
of course coaching matters. Management matters. PLayers matter. 60% players, 40% the organisation. in every business, in every team sport its the same. Man United are bad on all fronts now, Ferguson mattered, CR7 mattered, Giggsy, Scholes, Keane, Becks all mattered. But in team sports its not about one player, if it was, championship winning teams would look very different in history.
I dont think the average NBA viewer would get the football, sorry, "soccer" reference
Mark Jackson is no Steve Kerr , curry didn’t win under Jackson , Love shaq , but coaching matters . MJ got 6 rings cause of Phil not Doug Collins
Mark Jackson built that team but didn’t get enough time to see the fruits of his labor. That team constantly improved under Jackson. He was not fired because he had issues with management. If Steve Kerr would have went anywhere else he would not have those rings
@@lamar679 Mark Jacksons offense was archaic, you're not a warriors fan for sure. His offense sucked, Kerr is 5x the coach.
@@lamar679 Mark Jackson is a floor raiser. Steve Kerr, like Phil Jackson is a ceiling raiser.
Pop and Spo are in betweeners. They can elevate the level of play of average players and can win if they have a superstar. In the case of Spo, he was able to reach the finals with Butler who I do not consider a superstar. In the case of Pop, he had an aging Duncan and an up and coming Kawhi Leonard in 2014 together with solid role players to lead the Spurs to the championship.
@@Apo_Ni_Baby_Kupal I disagree that Kerr is on the level of a Phil Jackson. He inherited a young great team. Literally anyone could have coached that warriors team with KD and got a ring. In fact, during long periods of that championship run, the assistant coaches like Luke Walton and Mike Brown were acting as the head coach while Kerr had back surgery.
@@lamar679 you sound like Mark Jackson took a picture with you when you were a kid. He was an average coach at best while Kerr is one of the GOATs.
Jackson would’ve never unlocked the Warriors greatness
Philly better win this game because if they don't they will lose Game 7 and Doc Rivers will never coach again!
Lakers will take him
@@Akeeyama 🤣🤣🤣
@@Akeeyama Then, I’m all-in for the Raptors to win,
@@Akeeyama Lmaooo go right ahead
Game 7 is in Philly so why are you so sure they’d lose?
Shaq is delusional, thinking coaching doesn’t matter
Facts he’s trying and chuck asked him a great question he knows damn well coaching matters lol
Idk why these franchises pay millions to get the “right” coach, just pay a bum off the street 10$ an hour to do it since it doesn’t matter
Where are Chuck's guarantees ??????????
I know Shaq is a great player and all, but coaching matters lol. He pretty delusional to diminish the effect coaches have on teams
The smartest one foreal is Kenny. Everyone clowns on him but he is right more times than everyone else. Its easy to go back and check. Chuck literally said if ur not the best player on the team you dont matter lol they just say whatever
Makes sense why he’d think that considering the way he played pretty much involves no strategy whatsoever. It is crazy though to say coaching doesn’t matter.
both matter tbh coaches and players wished Shaq eased and actually thought about it sadly didn't consider it tho o well
its like the work smarter not harder thing for me its like an excuse to people not to work harder but why not do both 🤷♂️
Actually, Shaq isn't wrong ... because the evidence, to him, is anecdotal. Jackson didn't spend any time coaching him and concentrated on the other guys, same thing with when he was on the Magic. Both of them essentially gave him free reign to dominate as he pleased, but coaches definitely do have a game plan, philosophy and a methodology to how they coach teams and they do set how a team ultimately operates. The only thing is that Shaq doesn't see it because he was just so dominant that Phil didn't really need to give him any instructions beyond "bully the opposite guy in the post" while he went to work with Fisher, Fox and, of course, Kobe and the rest. Shaq's just offering his perspective: he was that dominant he didn't really need coaching.
I’ll always think of and love Doc for the ‘08 Celtics
Shaq: Coaching doesn't matter.
**coach proceeds to bench someone who's on fire**
Me: Coaching DOES matter lol
Shaq so hard headed 😂. Refuse to listen reason
Doc was speaking facts about the magic but no excuses for the other blown 3-1 leads
Thank you and no excuse for why they lost to the nuggets in the bubble NONE AT ALL
I get where Shaq is coming from. To a degree he was defending coaches. As well as, Shaq is built different from Barkley and Kenny. To be a 4 time champion, as dominant as Shaq was. He has it to the core where, that’s on us. We have to go out there and get it done. He’s just missing their view that, regardless of greatness and drive. Adjustments because it’s a team game, the coaches philosophy etc is still needed to bring it all together. Like Kenny said. Blowing a series lead on 1 team is one thing but for the most part, every team you go to. Yeah, you have to look at the coach.
he's being stubborn as always and making nonsensical claims
isnt this the same week where chuck called out the minnesota timberwolves coach for not using a time out in a 21-0 run
Shaq acting like Phil Jackson just gave him the ball and said “go 3 peat for me” 😂
Phil jack probably did but phil jackson was a manipulative mastermind so he figured thats all he needed to tell shaw himself. Thats coaching. Bringing the best of out different personalities. Kobe didnt need the same type of coaching shaq did
Doc really like getting on the edge. Remember the 08 Celtics almost got eliminated by the Hawks in game 7 of the first round too!!!
Shaq mentioned before that he doesn't listen to coaches that doesn't have G14 classification, and that they don't know what they're talking about when it comes to coaching them to championship, which is to why he respects Phil a lot as his coach. C'mon now Shaq.
Coaching does matter at certain times but it's up to the players
Doc telling people how great he is. Very humble.
Shaq had PHIL JACKSON lmao
Shaq pulling a Kyrie on TNT lol
I agree wit both. Unless you did something insane players gotta take responsibility in blowing a 3-1 lead. U don't need your coach to hold ur hand and get u ready to play. U kno the plays and what to do. When players get tight and nervous and can't hit the rim anymore that ain't the coach
"Coaching doesnt matter"
Tell that to Brian Hill and Del Harris 😆
It's easy to say coaching doesn't matter when you had 2 of the best coaches n history
Tickets for second round already on sale in Philly
I swear he think he all that if it wasn’t for Kobe and d wade. 😂😂😂😂 ain’t going to say much
Finals MVP
Shaq - 3
Kobe - 2
Wade - 1
🤨
Doc is so pathetic man. Throwing that Magic roster under the bus like that is awful.
It’s on coaching, there’s like a 10 min span where the lead climbs from 2 to 6 to 14 to 20. At some point coaching has to figure out how to stop the run, as re-evaluate the situation in a 2 min timeout.
The way Shaq said "SO WHAT?!?" 🤣🤣🤣
Back when lob city was formed and got doc from Boston I was on the hype train since then I've noticed hes an average coach who's been hyped up so much for winning in 08
i love that " driving the bus" is a common phrase everyone use now🤣
Kenny can't think straight anymore after that bus driver comment.
Chuck said nah for 40 seconds straight 😂😂😂😂
I can''t tell what was Kenny trying to say.
He was trying to say they should ask that question if they lose game 6 but he muffed it 😂
He actually said it clearly. Focus on game 6 because it’s a close out game. You aren’t going to get eliminated on game 6. Worry about game 7 only if there is a game 7.
I'm black and from Boston and we love Doc. Since 80s when he played at UMASS Boston. Coach can only do so much as athletes and former athletes know this. It's not like Doc actually shoots the ball, passes it, get rebounds, or dive for loose balls anymore. He has his blame sure, but not as much as the dudes who actually played.
Doc needs to MOTIVATE this group. Even though they are grown men and professionals, all men who are not leaders, need to be led.
The pressure is on
The Miami Heat would not be the number one seed with a team of LA Fitness ballers if it weren’t for Erik Spoelstra. Head Coaches are very important.
The way Shaq said “so what??” Lmaooo
“No, no, no, no it does not matter” - Shaq’s only line for the second half of the vid😂
If you lose 3-4 consecutive play off games to the same team, it is the coach's fault. If the coach couldn't make good adjustment from game to game then it is their fault 100%. A 7 game series is a coaching battle, which coach will make good adjustments then the other coach will counter next game.
Man wtf Shaq on 🤣
Doc with the albinauric mask
Imagine a conversation between Shaq and Phil, and Shaq tells Phil that his coaching didn’t matter at all in those title runs. Cmon dude.
Shaq being difficult 🤣
If players miss open shots it is not on the couch. period. you can not step inside the game and make the shots for them.
Yes, you can try to improvise and make some changes. But at the end of the day it is the players who have to make the shots.
If the team is being outplayed and if it struggles to create shooting opportunities it is on the coach. But I actually don't remember this being the case with coach Rivers.
damn Kenny put it perfectly lol Shaq felt that for sure
I did not read that title all the way through. Clicked on the video anyway.. I-
It’s weird that Shaq doesn’t realize that Phil was integral to him winning in LA and Riley and Spoel were huge in Miami too. Hall of fame coaches.
Kenny stubborn as hell, Shaq too
Shaq is saying the players have to step up and play better. Coaching helps but it is not the only part. Players have to execute.
I see it from both perspectives the coaches are not out there playing defense or making shots.
As for Shaq when things go wrong the coach during the regular season and the playoffs if the team underperforms players will get blame but the coach will usually get fired.
They're not out there playing defense or not making shots it's the players job to go out there and give it all they got.
But sometimes that doesn't always happen so they look at the coach.
You can coach players to play the right way but you can't coach passion, determination, Pride, and competitive spirit.
As for Chuck and Kenny I understand where they're coming from were coaching matters because I remember a It was the Lakers against the Utah Jazz.
Mike D'Antoni was the coach at the time and it was clear the Lakers were going to lose that game and Kobe had the stare of death towards Mike D'Antoni.
He was Furious because in Kobe's Mind He's like you don't know what the hell you're doing.
That is an example of how coaching matters same with the Warriors they had a losing record for a long time then Mark Jackson comes along and instills confidence in a young Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
From day one he called them the best Shooters in the world they started to turn it around and build a foundation.
And then we all know what happens Steve Kerr comes in picked up where Mark Jackson left off.
It’s true coach is important because of the playing time they control the mind they play but other then tht the players gotta step up.
Shaq be lunching lmao
Kenny and Chuck misunderstand shaq context : when you're up 3-0 and losing, it's on the player not the coach. Shaq never say coaching don't matter in general.
Shaq saying Phil didn't matter is crazy
Phil Jackson taught y’all the triangle offense. There’s no plays that are ran. It’s the triangle. Just a bunch of back door cuts to the goal.
They're all right.
Shaq coming from a mind state of individual accountability. He was also a dominant player in his prime, knowing the onus was on him either way. But he also understands that the coach isn't playing, YOU the player is. And coaching is really about bringing out the best in those players, not just putting them, with strategy, a position to win. You up 3-1 and you lose the series...80% of that is player malfeasance and %20 of coaching malfeasance. Strategy only works within the players abilities. If the player isn't playing up to his abilities, especially if healthy is ALL ON THE PLAYER.
Coaching does matter and Shaq knows it.
What Shaq is arguing is that if you're up 3-1 and you end up losing that series, don't be blaming the coach.
Shaq says that it's ultimately up to the players to win. And if the players end up losing a 3-1 lead, the players are the ones that should be taking responsibility and not the coach.
Although, I can somewhat understand this sentiment, I do believe it's a full team effort, and that includes the coaches.
Maybe they’re all right...I feel like they’re arguing different things tho lol
You need coaching especially if the opposing team game plans against you. But, if you have a very high IQ, are extraordinarily skilled and dominant coaching won't matter much to you.
There are only a few players who meet those criteria.
I think shaq is thinking from a superstar perspective. Coaching is more important for setting up role players and defensive planning. Now I do think it’s more so on the players if they lose a 3-1 lead like that. Unless a key adjustment was made and never countered by the other coach at all.
Shaq is clutch at taking a weak argument and clinging to it for dear life
Shaq - "Excuses make cowards of us all" lmao
"we're all sensitive" - Shaq (2022)
Shaq got checkmated once they brought up triangle offence
He ain't called Choke Rivers for nothin!😂
Honestly Doc is a great Coach but James with Injury hopefully is able to feel like the old James in Houston and Okc Injury play a major factor with all Teams all professional athletes and amateur understand but who's on the bench and ready to step up when your number is call this game is Full of Top level Guys who Made it to the league and grew with the right coach but the player like Kobe would say you wasn't with me shooting in the gym reps hard work nothing is easy and it shouldn't be or you wouldn't appreciate the come up from underdog to top dog
The best coaches in the league are the ones that are the best basketball minds on that team, higher than any player. Their main job is to convince the players to buy into their system and to execute it to the best of their ability. The coaches can only get everyone on board to what should be the most optimal play in any given situation, they can't make their players hit the necessary shots or play defense in the correct way. They make the best use of the players they are provided. So tell me what mistakes Rivers has made, taking all that into account, and we can determine whether or not he's the reason why his teams fail to close out.
Way to take some responsibility Doc lol.
Smoking on that sixers pack 😭😭😭
😂
