I don’t remember Jordan calling out his teammates Kobe did a lot especially his first couple of years LeBron has took it to a new level and it was really noticeable when he came back to Cleveland
@@joshuabullins2046 No, Jordan doesn't call out his teammates. He just punches them in the face at practice when they make him mad!! Go do your research about Michael Jordan "the person!!" He's a very flawed individual like MANY are! But Don't try to paint Kobe to be a villain, and MJ a saint!! He was far from saintly!
Lakers shifted to Bynum as offensive big man #1 and downgraded Gasol to #2. That was unfamiliar territory for Gasol and he looked lost and clueless about what roles he had to fulfill.
There's a difference from blaming and calling them out. He called them out saying they played horrible and they did if you would've watched the game. If your to scared to call out your teammates to step up because your better than that then your a horrible leader for not telling your teammates what you need.
I don't think he MEANT to call out the rest of his team...I think it was more of a statement praising Ron Artest's effort and energy when he plays. CLEARLY the rest of the team doesn't play with the effort those two put forth.
kobe could say anything he wanted and stephen a smith would agree with him. Its like lebron could win 15 championships and u could bet skip would stil find a way to hate.
Gasol was out of place with the system of Mike Brown. Mike Brown preferred feeding the ball to Bynum. Pau was better suited under the triangle offense.
Petty? Its the complete opposite. When its release that he says they need to step up it gives them more motivation and drive to perform better when it is released to the media and around sports rather than just face to face. It gives them an embarrassing feeling and makes them feel that everyone knows how bad they played and will play better.
Wtf are you people saying about favouritism and who likes who. It has nothing to do with that, all Skip said ( not that I listen to much of what he says ) was he put unnecessary pressure on his teammates publicly instead of in closed doors to motivate them. It was a dangerous way to get his teammates going not that I disagree with the way Kobe handled it.
Face it people, Kobe doesn't suck. All that matters is that you try your hardest. One thing that's certain is that Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum looked like they didn't even care. They deserve to be traded after that. Kobe was really the only person who actually earned his money on the court in the playoffs for the Lakers, and Jordan Hill and maybe Steve Blake. GTFO Kobe haters.
Well you're ONLY looking at shooting efficiency. I look at overall effort, which means defensive pressure, offensive execution, etc. I'll tell you why the big men don't DESERVE so many touches. Because they don't rebound how they should every night. They don't play with EFFORT. Gasol shot like 40% this playoffs, which is TERRIBLE for a big. Bynum averaged LESS than 10 rebounds in the OKC series. For that, he doesn't deserve the ball.
I honestly believe that Skip really does get paid just to argue the other side to make the show interesting because I do not understand how anyone in their right mind could point fingers at Kobe after all he did in game 6 when everyone else was playing life crap.
I wish the lakers gm would try to build up the lakers they need some more scorers and people to feed kobe they gotta put some money in that team again. The mamba will rise from the ashes
Skip says Bynum had 8pts, 5rebs and 3blks in the 3rd quarter, that means that Bynum had 3pts, 11rebs and 1blk in the REST OF THE GAME. But obviously Pau Gasol was the worst player on the court there in game 6.
When is he EVER the main reason his team loses? Even if he has a poor shooting night, his EFFORT is there 100% in other areas. The rest of his team plays with next to NO effort, it looks like he's the only one even TRYING. Remember the 2006 series against the Suns? His team has become undependable like that again.
thats dumb cus a player doesnt need to embarrass anyone and the player being embarrassed might not like that or the player anymore after that and the player doesnt have to tell the media cus im sure that player already knows and everyone that was watching and also the media would ask about it in the post game interviews so it still would be petty!
don't think they can get everyone they want and everyone will wanna play for them. Same thing can be said for the Celtics. Not everyone wants to play for the Lakers.....
kobe has every right to call his team out but the dude neva accepts responsibility for when he fucks up. skips sorta right. Kobe wants to be immune to criticism when the lakers lose but when they win he feels he shud get all the credit. kobe is selfish and treats his team mates like shit and neva takes responsibility for his actions when he is the main reason his team loses. Kobe should criticise but he shud also be able to take it as well. It has to go both ways.
SO ITS NEVA KOBES FAULT? LOL!! u kobefans are just crazy sometimes. Kobe averages like 20 shots a game and when he has a poor shooting night he continues to shoot which results in poor possessions for his team and less shots for his big men. This results in the lakers losing games. I hope that explains it. He may play great d but when hes running the offense inefficently, his team will lose and it does become his fault coz hes the one with the ball the majority of the time.
You do realize that no one wants to play in Los Angeles right now? You can go after as many big names as you want. No max players are going to sign there.
Yea calling your teammates out has really proven to bring teams together and win games, hasn't it, just like it brought the Lakers together against the Mavs last year.
just like skip is biased against lebron, Steven A is biased for kobe. I love kobe but that was a dick move, he should have told his teamates if he had a problem and then left it, its not his job to tell the world and show them up like that. How can they trust him as a teammate if he pulls a stunt like that?
I can tell you don't know much about basketball and you don't know how to listen.It's a face that Dwight surpasses mcgee in every way other than freethrows.
Dwight is literally better than Javale in every single aspect other than freethrows.Yea i'm pretty sure i'd chose Dwight over him as the better player anyday.
The money's not coming out your pocket.What does Javale even have to do with Dwight, he isnt even in the same league as him.Javale averages like five points a game.Plus if your not a lakers fan then none of this should bother you.
But you have to respect your teammates as well. This has been his problem his whole career. Guys just hate playing with Kobe because hes a jerk. Trust me, if you were on his team, i'm sure you would hate it. I KNOW he has rings but Kobe never takes responsibility when he screws up. He always blames his teammates. Calls out Gasol all the time. Called out Bynum in that video (the 'kobe vid'). If kobe had a good attitude, him and Shaq would have had 6 rings. He's just an arrogant child.
I can watch this on mute and still crack myself up on skip's facial reactions lol
Weirdos
Its like faces of a old grumpy man, goong from shocked to disgusted to are u kidding me. Its like you are the dumbest person ever. Ha
I feel like the show was WAY more enjoyable back in 2010-2013…
i havent heard skip complain about anyone but lebron in a long time. this was refreshing.
That’s cause all it is today is politics. Basically half the show is dedicated to the anthem protests, and then the other half is just about the NBA
yea when Jay was the moderator this show was amazing
This way more enjoyable wtf everything sucks now a days anything you do wrong can get sued it sucks
Back when they discussed anybody in the nba and not just 2 superstars
This was back when these debate shows actually got heated. Nowadays it's just barbershop talk and guys agreeing with each other.
Have you the episode of Undisputed after Tom Brady lost to the Eagles in the SuperBowl? Easily the most heated debate of all time lol
That's not true at all, they rarely agree on First Take and on Undisputed.
Nah man skip played dumb the whole time Max is actually making solid points
But skip is a joke, no way he believes most of the stuff he says
@@KobeSamyskip wasn't playing dumb. He is dumb.🎉
Skip bashes LeBron for this but praises kobe and Jordan now for when they did this
I don’t remember Jordan calling out his teammates Kobe did a lot especially his first couple of years LeBron has took it to a new level and it was really noticeable when he came back to Cleveland
Joshua Bullins you’re right, Jordan punched them
@@coolsheh 😂😂😂😂😂😂
A Wise Man Jordan’s a bitch for sucker punching them
@@joshuabullins2046 No, Jordan doesn't call out his teammates. He just punches them in the face at practice when they make him mad!! Go do your research about Michael Jordan "the person!!" He's a very flawed individual like MANY are! But Don't try to paint Kobe to be a villain, and MJ a saint!! He was far from saintly!
"but something is wrrrooooonngggg with you" lmao Steven a does cracking me up at times
You know it's not that easy being Stephen A. His JOB is to argue with one of the biggest trolls on the planet
Man times have changed lol
J. R. Facts who would’ve thought lebron would be on the lakers now
LBJ wassup what a difference a whole year can make huh? 😔
Kobe obviously respects his teammate. How is that selfish?
Lakers shifted to Bynum as offensive big man #1 and downgraded Gasol to #2. That was unfamiliar territory for Gasol and he looked lost and clueless about what roles he had to fulfill.
I think it helped him with "damage control"
goddamn ill have to be watching old ass first take vids because this show is about to end in a few weeks smh
me to lol
What you think of first take now?
There's a difference from blaming and calling them out. He called them out saying they played horrible and they did if you would've watched the game. If your to scared to call out your teammates to step up because your better than that then your a horrible leader for not telling your teammates what you need.
This was in my recommended classic nowadays i fw skip and shannon more than first take but still like SAS
This is when first take was watchable
This is why I like Stephen A. Kobe Bryant always step it up nmw or who he played against.
You like stephen a because Kobe steps up?
Remember how from 2008-2010, Pau Gasol was called the most skilled big man in the game? What the FUCK happened to him?
🤔
Ahhhh the good old times
This the first take that got me into all sports besides just basketball and football 😢
Hearing him say 1st ballot future hall of famer hits different now
They're not laughing now
no shit sherlock this video is 8 years old
Skip and those random facial expressions lmao
before the video even started i knew Stephen A smiths reaction to skip
lol
skip is a hater he has a right to call out his teammates
I forgot how much Stephen a was a kobe stand....
good point. by being provocative, he stays relevant, which gives him value to espn.
I don't think he MEANT to call out the rest of his team...I think it was more of a statement praising Ron Artest's effort and energy when he plays. CLEARLY the rest of the team doesn't play with the effort those two put forth.
What happened to Skip, he used to like Kobe a lot.
kobe could say anything he wanted and stephen a smith would agree with him. Its like lebron could win 15 championships and u could bet skip would stil find a way to hate.
Still true to this day lol
Kobe had the right to bash anybody on the team. 5 rings, arguably the most clutch player ever, and highest level of competitor.
You still gotta do it privately though. You don't call put your team in public. And 3 of those titles were because of Shaq.
3 rings due to Shaq and 2 because the Lakers swindle the Grizzlies
Kobe not the clutchest player it’s either mj or lebron or joe they have the most playoff game winners
''have you no shame'' LOOOL
Kobe's frustration is almost max
Its easy to grab rebounds when you the tallest center on the court!!!!
EXACTLY
Gasol was out of place with the system of Mike Brown. Mike Brown preferred feeding the ball to Bynum. Pau was better suited under the triangle offense.
yea thats why you tell them in the locker room and thats the end of it not take it to the media thats just petty
love the lakers love kobe and disagree with skip, but man he is funny :P
Lakers will be back 2012-2013 NBA champs
lol
Orlando Aguilar lol
BLOCKED BY JAMES 🤣
Petty? Its the complete opposite. When its release that he says they need to step up it gives them more motivation and drive to perform better when it is released to the media and around sports rather than just face to face.

Those comments up there i completely agree 100% Superstars demand the ball in there hand well not all right?

gotta love skip he takes nothing personal....
Stephen A Smith worships Kobe. Kobe will never do.wrong for him
What's wrong with what Kobe said? Ron Artest is about as one of a fucking kind as they come.
Yep.Just like the cowboys?
......AW,STOP!.....
Skip and Stephen were truely the Shaq and Kobe of sports talk. Now we got annoying kellerman and Sharpe.
Daniel Sales Sharpe is legit. Kellerman is trash
@@posterchiild Sharpe is so annoying.
Shannon way better than Stephen A
who won?
im pretty confident that skip bayless has his job for the sake of arguing the negative side of every story
Face it people, Kobe doesn't suck. All that matters is that you try your hardest. One thing that's certain is that Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum looked like they didn't even care. They deserve to be traded after that. Kobe was really the only person who actually earned his money on the court in the playoffs for the Lakers, and Jordan Hill and maybe Steve Blake.

Lmao Skip still talks the same smack.. except it’s to Lebron now.
Fucking A, a true champion steeps up everyday, every time!!!!
This is why Shaq got traded.

Hate to say dat, but Skip is right...
Did you watch the games? DID YOU?
Skip says Bynum had 8pts, 5rebs and 3blks in the 3rd quarter, that means that Bynum had 3pts, 11rebs and 1blk in the REST OF THE GAME. But obviously Pau Gasol was the worst player on the court there in game 6.
in all fairness Pau Gasol showed up in game 7 against Denver
Did you miss that guy named Phil Jackson?
When is he EVER the main reason his team loses? Even if he has a poor shooting night, his EFFORT is there 100% in other areas. The rest of his team plays with next to NO effort, it looks like he's the only one even TRYING. Remember the 2006 series against the Suns? His team has become undependable like that again.

in my opinion, lakers gonna win! but this will be a hard one... no comment for kobe seriously...
Wait! He did the same thing to kobe like he does to lebron lol.
uh no
gasol is not the best PF its actully kevin love
When kobe goes the lakers need to get marshon brooks.
WORD!!!
don't think they can get everyone they want and everyone will wanna play for them. Same thing can be said for the Celtics. Not everyone wants to play for the Lakers.....
