However, I dislike Keyshawn (hope I spelled it right) but that doesn’t make me racist.

      You can be a contender and have your championship closed. Just look at Houston on 2017, 2018, 2019. The championship window for that team got closed in those 2018 western conference finals where the 27 straight missed threes buried them alive. Yes, they were contenders in 2019, but it wasn't the same. It was known they weren't winning though they had the material to contend.

    y’all are all so focused on the question on the graphic, we know Curry is on another level. But what JJ’s saying about the Suns window not being closed is important. They should be respected as a serious title contender that got better through a couple pickups (McGee would have helped tremendously against the Bucks) and internal development. And like JJ said two incredible defensive plays saved the Bucks multiple times. The point is the Suns should be taken more serious.

      Nah bro he wasn't taking anything away from Steph or the Warriors. That was Stephen A setting up a strawman and shifting the goal post after he got called out.
      I guarantee you and everyone else with half a brain would say yes to the following question, "With as good as the phoenix suns are looking this year - do they have a legitimate shot to win the championship?" Of course they do! Saying their window is closed is ASININE. They look amazing right now and even though it might take a couple "lucky" breaks they could absolutely bring a championship to Phoenix this year and anyone who says otherwise is just being ridiculous...
      Or as Reddick so eloquently put it. Asinine.
      The only thing Stephen A is good for is bulletin board material. Watch it again and you'll see Stephen A's initial point "The suns can not win a championship this season" gets called out, he realizes he's busted and quickly shifts his point to, "Steph Curry is better than Devon Booker." And Reddick unfortunately fell for the shifting goal post instead of circling back and nailing him on the original point but he's new to this kind of combative style - he'll get there. Maybe hit up a lawyer or take some debate classes.

      Both are true. Half a inch and Brooklyn faces Suns in the finals (no way they don't beat Suns). And the Suns/Bucks series came down to two clutch plays by the Bucks in game 4 and 5. Even game 6 was close. Bucks were the more experienced team and they knew how to win in the clutch.

Now that they are a developed squad with true chemistry, he’s just having fun BUT still tapped into a killer mode from last year. (You can even make the argument that he was MVP last year as well, but that’s another story) which makes him SO GOTDAMN SCARY! If they beat or destroy the suns tonight, stamp him now.

It wasn't consensus until recently that the warriors had a chance to win the finals and the suns haven't even gotten any love what's so ever to repeat. Yes Steph is better than Chris Paul but that also doesn't mean he can't create a similar impact to combat with Steph. Both teams matchup very well and I don't think the Suns window just closed like that. I think it just most people like Steph and the Warriors and want them to win the most. It doesn't mean the Suns don't have a chance to get back to the Finals with as much better bench this year.

    Honestly, JJ is such a breath of fresh air for this show. Good takes, great perspective since he actually played in the league for over a decade. Someone who will stand up to SA lol. Been enjoying the basketball segments a lot more since JJs arrival

    JJ is too sassy with that “ Ok.. that’s great , basketball is a team sport “ 😂😂

    JJ taking the other side of this, just for the show. No way the Suns can beat the Warriors with Steph and Klay. it's not happening. Klay is already talking about how eager he is to get back out there and win a championship - this year.

    Great debate here. Love seeing JJ defend his position. But for once, I completely agree with Stephen A. Steph is just on a rampage this year. He's just too consistent. It's nuts how great he's playing.
