Stephen A taking the time out his busy schedule to do a local Cleveland show for his buddy is awesome. You guys are growing the show great. Been watching since the start. Great job
I was in 7th grade at Ron Harper basketball court the day he was traded. Ron was a great guy and an awesome player. Would have had a better chance at a ring of the Cavs had kept him
One of the reasons why Jordan was 6-0 is that team had 4 HOF players as well as a HOF coach on it. They also didn't have to go against teams that "Stacked Up" just to have a chance to beat them. If "Rings" are the measuring stick then Robert Horry must be better than Jordan since he won 7 rings. People put way too much importance on "Rings" because it's a team sport not an individual sport so it's ridiculous to place so much importance on them. Lastly, Jordan for as great as he is, the teammate he played the most games with was Scotty Pippin while Lebron played the most games with Big Z and Anderson Varejao. Huge difference.
I think the CAVS need to invest more in their player development department since the CAVS have a few young players (Ex: Garland, Mobley, Okoro) that the team can grow internally and build with long term. I believe by investing more time in player development, CAVS do not have to focus on external factors (Ex: making big trades for players likes Donovan Mitchell) that jeopardize the team's future by trading away multiple future 1st round draft picks for minimum long term success as a basketball team. Player development is the key to long term success and consistent winning in the NBA (Ex: look at the player development programs that the Spurs and Warriors have in place and the track record of winning for both franchise). Teams like the Spurs and Warriors have been great at developing and growing internally their players which leads to long term winning (Ex: multiple championships for each franchise during a given period)
People forget Jordan wasn’t totally fearless. One player you could tell every time he got on the court with him and showed him mad respect was…Xavier McDaniel 😂 he was scared of that dude
This team is a couple of role players who are good defensively and can shoot and a good Small Forward away from legitimately being a threat to win it all.
This dude is simple selling his book... This dude has hated on everything Cleveland for years now today "Cleveland is a great sports town" Don't be fooled fans. This is simply his book tour fr. But big up to UCSS for landing the interview!
Jordan played six years in the league and won six titles. End of story.

Ron Harper should have never been traded.
That was one of the worst trades ever made by The Cavaliers.

Stephen on here chillin on a Cleveland Browns show. I salute, and this interview doesn't sound nor seem scripted. What a great interview this is.
UCSS isn't a browns show
@@BIFC216 It sometimes seems like it is but I agree.
They always Leave out Phil Jackson in the equation.

Great show
Michael Jordan also played in an era where NBA was slow compared to today’s game
I don't follow Stephen A but I believe he's 100% correct about Jordan being the GOAT!
Stephen A. Smith was awesome to listen to on here.
People always forget about Fat Shawn Kemp as a Cav... Bron, kyrie, price, Brad, then fat Kemp. He always getting slept on.
Salute to Stephen A man much respect from a Cleveland fan 👏🏽
Wait yes lebron was respected but to say teams weren't scared of lebron is ridiculous
First Take reunion.... Love it
Great Interview!
The players these days are faster and stronger
Well one thing he right about is mark price dude was really really nice!!!

LBJ, Irving... but MItchell and this team this may jump ahead of Irving, Price, Daugherty, Nance etc.
This team is a couple of role players who are good defensively and can shoot and a good Small Forward away from legitimately being a threat to win it all.
