Imagine having the same debate about the same topic at least twice a week
Arshdeep Singh yet here u are 🤷🏿♀️
rock or austin?
I actually had this happen at my job last month.
@@nameonutube123 Aye....chill with that question 🤣.
way before nostalgia ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ that's tough
Monday: Is kawhi the new king?
Tuesday: Is kawhi on lebron's level?
Wednesday: Are lakers or clippers running LA?
Thursday: Is Kawhi dethroning lebron?
Friday: Who is better, kawhi or lebron?
Ankit Macherla underrated comment 😂😂
Kawhi is my all-time favorite player, but they completely ignore Giannis in this discussion.
Exactly lmao
@@mike.cdn7212 as they should
Ankit Macherla Lmfaooo
We need to quarantine ESPN. Seriously, there is no sports being played right now. Why do they keep talking about the same garbage over and over again?
tke567 you don’t have to watch
Undisputed does too, sooo why not
Because you keep clicking the videos
Yep
Why are you losers scared of debate
“He’s the best player in the world without the right now” 😂😂 Stephen A is a savage
He’s “Elite”..
He would be The reaning champ if the season did not stop because of the covid
it’s kinda haunting me
Can we Quarantine this debate?
As long as we can quarantine this comment
First Take: “we disagree and here’s why”
This made me actually laugh. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
El Jefe 🤣🤣👍🏽
Lol right
Another LeBron and Kawhi debate? Who would’ve thought, not me.
But look at us. We are still here
Wait til kd comes back
Paul Rudd is funny af 😂
Hey, but look at us
At least they actually have an excuse for it now
Me: see the thumbnail not this again
also me: click the video just to watch stephen a reaction 🤷♂️😂😂😂
Yep lol
At least we're all honesty
Eddy I deadasss 😂😂
Facts😅😅
lmao my thoughts fr
These guys make millions to argue of conversations I had at lunch in high school and not bring greater perspective. Life is a lottery!
T Starks pretty much
You can improve your lot in life, but you can't change where and what you come from.
It's almost disrespectful how much they recycle this topic! 🤦🏾♂️
Why are you watching. You click makes this a topic that continues
Why is it disrespectful when the media has called lebron washed for almost a year?
I disagree! and here's why....
Yet you still watch it? youtube has like billion videos sir
should be illegal
ESPN has dementia
They clearly forgot they just talked about this
ZEEK Tube lool trust me they didn’t forget 😭
All they did was talk about LeBron when the Nba season was going on now that's gone. Now it's all LeBron 24/7, prolly gone talk about what he had for dinner pretty soon
To forget something would mean they actually would have to stop talking about him for a start
Or they think we have it
6:12 “the weakness of your argument”
MAX YOU USED A DIFFERENT SPORT TO DEFEND YOUR CASE🤦🏾♂️
Cause the article says best player in any sports above Messi. How can they even try to compare LeBron tons World Wide legend like Messi. Jordan and Kobe phenomenons can be compared to other Legends. Not LeBron unless he wins 2-3 more champs
Hey max with the chips on the line Kawaii went 16 for 40 to end the series so it's safe to say without KD but with klay warriors win
O Messi never won a World Cup or copa America so 🤷🏻♂️
@@omytupapa michael jordan is not even close to the soccer legends
Stephan A: “Kawah Lenid”
They just talked about this the other day
Since sports is shutdown They been so bored they have nothing else to talk about but the same old thing lol
Yet your watching it again!!!
And the day before and before and before
*yesterday
I thought first take is cancelled due to coronavirus SaS 😂😂
I'm just here for the comments.
K.Serge Paul same
Same
Same
Same
Same
LeBron has literally been if not the best then one of the best players on the planet for at least 95% of his career so far and NOBODY can deny or take that from him
Lebron is a phenomenal player and so is Kawhi now lets move on...
Lol espn have to cash in
Hey ESPN go home and rest a little bit please. At this point you're just doing too much.
SAS all week: “KD is the best player”
SAS today: “LBJ is the best player in the world”😑😑
Nho Tran he saying excluding KD.
Nho Tran bc kd is hurt
Nho Tran well said
I disagree! And here's why.....
SAS has been said excluding KD because he's hurt... So you definitely haven't been watching all week lol..
Let’s not act like Lebron not supposed to win the mvp every year🤦🏽♂️💯
4KTJaiden he don’t got that Killa mentality like Jordan did and kawhi does
He has not deserved a single MVP outside of the 4 he got. Go look at every year, the stats, the standings, the storylines, none of it points to him being the best player in the regular season any of those years. Y’all conflate his postseason performances with his regular season ones for some reason. Of course, in the playoffs he has been the best in the league the past 8-9 years, but don’t kid yourself as if he hasn’t coasted in the regular season. He got exactly as many MVPs as he deserves.
Anthony Davis leads the Lakers in points, rebounds, steals, blocks, FG% and PER. No AD last year, Lakers finished 11 wins behind the 8th seed, with AD this year, Lakers have the 2nd best record in the NBA. How is LeBron MVP of the league when he's not even MVP of his own team?
Ronnie Branford completely different team my guy
@@NC-xt7ie you heard some sports talking head say this and now you regurgitate it without hesitation. Do you even know what it means? Doubtful. How can a man who went to 9 finals in 17 years not have killer instinct? Lmao does that make any sense to you? Y'all confuse taking 30 shots a game and not trusting your teammates as "killer instinct". Kawhi got a few more years before he even sniffs LeBron legacy.
Michael was the best player in the league even when the other guys won the MVP
So was lebron in 2015-2018
Same as Br🔘n
That was definitely an American poll lol
True🤣 they don’t know Messi fans
Kurt Schaaf America is better than an other place
Kurt Schaaf dummy face
TSS Exclusive FOH kid
TSS Exclusive depends for who poor people in America don’t agree with this
Max has figured out that he gets more clicks opposing Lebron. Lebron gives both haters and congratulaters careers.
Facts they can’t both have the same POV
By saying lebron is the second best is hating on him lol you lebron fans need some help
Espn knows talking about Lebron gets views because bronsexuals will click anything that has his name attached to it
Deondrae When he’s clearly the best player in the world it’s disrespectful 😂 it’s not even close
Kevin D so will haters
Lebron is still the best player i really dont know what yall be watching sometimes most of yall looking at only points scored in a game smh
Rite!
We're talking about how Kawhi is clearly better than LeBron James. What are you watching? If Kawhi was a loud, junk jiving clown like LeBron he would get more attention. If you put LeBron on that Raptors team, the Raptors aren't winning the Eastern Conference or the Finals.
Hugh Jasol are you joking? Did you not see the last Cleveland team Lebron got to the final? How can the hate “loud junk jiving” you have for someone cloud your judgement so badly? You’re either biased, stupid or just a casual.
irGuilty that year the playoffs was a breeze though. Cels lacked 2 stars, raps was still lebronto and i am %90 sure last years bucks would beat lebron’s cavs. Also i don’t think lebron would win against sixers too. Granted i believe that lebron would reach the finals with raps.
@@Hugh_Jasol since when does it matter what position you lose lol can you tell me what round the 1988 Atlanta Hawks were eliminated off the top of your head? Neither can I
Yo the moment Stephen started shaking his head in the beginning I started dying 😂
Bruh i fell tf out. Lmfaooo
Don’t ever put Patrick mahomes name near Lebrons not even in the same category
Talking about right now not overall
I agree with king julian
Patrick Mahomes will be on his level
@@krazykaiboi how lebron will go in the records as number 1 all time scorer and top ten in assit if all goes right
Thank you
i swear a few hours ago SAS said KD was the best😂😂smh
Keelan Walsh exactly
Keelan Walsh he is
He says when healthy
@@thegoat2874 and? When Lebron came back after those 17 games....was he not healthy?
Guy literally tore his Achilles smh
It seems like before the quarantine people didn’t realize that this is their everyday segment!!
Who’s here after the Clippers choked 💀
I'm over here, I'm choked too,please help me win my game.....
That's fine if LeBron is better, but dont tear Down kawhis legacy like y'all were doing to Kobe before he passed away
Darth Maul what legacy. He was the third wheel in San Antonio and only got finals mvp for guarding Lebron to 28 8 8. Then he traveled on a lucky shot and played a depleted warriors team. When he was the man he got smoked by KD and Westbrook. Man stop
@@skiknight86 🙄🙄
Nobodys taking anything away from him but this guy is talking like he beat a fully healthy warriors team and the only reason spurs won is bcoz of kawhi when he guarded lebron and he avg 28ppg game
Abhijith Ashok but LeBron couldn’t beat a fully healthy warriors tho🤔🤔🤔
@@bang_bangsosaent8194 he didnt when did i say he did
Idc what u saying this was disrespectful on another level by Max they just need to stop talking about LeBron and react to some old footage or sum cause now they just doing anything
Max didn't disrespect anyone. You just disagree with him.
No it’s disrespectful
It's not disrespectful. If anything it's disrespectful to Kawhi from Stephen A
The King is #1 giannis and kawhi are not even close to lebron
@@Mr.Gundam7 you on drugs lay off the crack
Kawhi doesn’t care frfr🤷🏿♂️💯😂
Don't ever say Kawhi the best
King James The best don’t have to say they’re the best REMEMBER THAT💯✊🏿
Factz
King Kendrick as a competitor myself. I bet he does.
King Kendrick lol just like mj and all the other legends didn’t say it......boy if you don’t gtfo with that nonsense
Kawhi is a better scorer and a better defender END OF STORY 🤷🏿♂️
What Stephen A should ask Max is "when Michael Jordan came back was he still the best player or was it the guy who won finals MVP the year he wasn't there"
MrCavonta Yeoo that’s perfect that would end the argument right there 🤷🏾♂️💯
That’s dumb cause the best player was still Hakeem. Jordan (#45) came back at the end of the 1995 season and got swept by the magic in the playoffs who Hakeem swept in the finals. The following season Jordan (humbled) proved he was that guy by winning 72 games and 3peating.
@@RADIOACTIVEYOUTH they lost to the magic in 6 but i get what you mean
@@RADIOACTIVEYOUTH Hakeem had the better team that year, jordan was still the best player. Hence why they came back with the 2nd 3peat.
MJ was not the best player when he came back. Its was Hakeem and maybe shaq aswell. He had to earn that back. Same situation with lebron. He missed the playoffs for 1 year, the player that lead his team to a championship will be given the "best player in the world" title until either 1. Lebron takes it back or 2. Someone else rises to the occasion. The only way (in my opinion) in which lebron would be able to take back his "best player in the world" title is by winning a championship/beating kawhi in any round of the playoffs (assuming it's going to be conference finals)
Max literally answer why LeBron is best when he first started talking smh
but the think is he not
Longevity doesn’t make you the best..It’s about RIGHT NOW..And right now he’s 2nd in MVP votes
Kevin Lamont being mvp doesnt make you the best player in the world. It just means that you have best performance in a season. James Harden became MVP and not everyone would accept that he's the best in the world. Derrick Rose became MVP but he was not considered as the best in the world but LeBron is. LeBron is still the best player regardless of his age. He leads in assists and still put up huge numbers , one of the best defensive teams, and leads his team to 1st seed in the Wild Wild west. Not in the Easy East.
And where is Kawhi
They the type of friends that travel an hour to meet each other and debate about the same topic and leave
😂
absolute joke how messi wasn't even mentioned
Idk why y’all still watch this especially when’s there’s no sports lmfao they don’t have shot to talk about
mark clayton foh white boi
They could talk about the other teams...
You’re watching too so...
Well why do you watch it then?
So why tf are u commenting the video that U were just watching idiot
SAS is so disrespectful to Kawhi 🤦🏽♂️ he is becoming a HATER at this point
Same as max on lebron. Lol
If Kawhi does it once more he will get on board
I for J ' kawhi is the best player in the World
Who’s here after nuggets blitzed the clippers
And they wonder why people won't stay inside.😆
Y’all taking just to talk at this point lmao 😂
Its they job
They the type of friends that meet up and debate about the same topic and leave 😂
Stephen A: “goes up against young puppies in embid and Simmons”
Jimmy Butler: Am I a joke to you?
Master Mind Might be the weakest argument ever. Kawhi’s route to the final last year was way harder than any single one Lebron faced when he was in the east.
Ryan Hollins maybe not 2013
@@skipbayless4375 Okay but the Raptors were also better than any Playoff team Lebron has ever had save 2011 and 2012. Maybe 2016 but I would take the raptors over those Cavs.
Ryan Hollins on God
@@timocruz510 Then that should say more about LeBron than Kawhi if Toronto was more capable than any team LeBron and the Heat faced in 2011. Because from 2011, Miami went to 7 with a few teams and was even pushed back a few times by Indiana and Boston. If Toronto is more capable then that means Kawhi on Toronto sweeps Miami
2:49 why does it look like Patric maholmes doesn’t have a right arm
I feel like they haven’t stopped asking this question since first take started😂😂
Max is on something else I swear..
David Vice Bangura but did he lie?? How can Lebron be the best player in sports when he’s 2nd in the MVP voting??
Kevin Lamont lmao you’re drunk.
@@shinsukecorbin425 you're joking right? When lebron's clearly the best player in the world when he returned to cleveland, he still didn't win the mvp.
Kevin Lamont how can kawhi when he not even top 3 in the mvp voting
David Vice Bangura there has been no proof at least in 2 years that lebron is the best player in the world
Sometimes I really hate hearing Max talk like why he never mentions last year Lebron got hurt smh
10th without AD (the actual best player on the Lakers)
Lebron was milking that injury (and rightfully so). Those Lakers werent going to do anything in the post season and we know it. It was a smart move to rest more because this was the year we needed lebron to be at full strength
Doesn't injuries come into factor? Like, I can do this all day....
Derrick Rose has been the best PG in the league, its just that he was injured....
Please....that's just an excuse. When Lebron got back on the floor after his injury, the Lakers could still play the postseason. But his "playoff mode activated" was a mess and they continued to lose against bad and average teams
@@mickaellandry9726i just want u to think about 1 thing i dont want to debate someone like you who repeats media points,, do you think they had good team chemistry after all the injuries of rondo, Ingram, Hart, lonzo, and are they that good enough players to make push for the playoffs in the west after all that why in the world would you blame one man that was not a good roster it was almost a d league Team.
As usual they just ignore football
They ignore Messi and Cristiano 🤦🏻♂️
Yeah😂 If the voting was announced to the world nobody would even come close to Leo Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Americans don't know anything about football.
@@Aviishek. that’s because football isn’t the number sport here in the US. It’s basketball, American football, and baseball.
@@abdulwahidabukar2054 Yeah, I know.
@@Aviishek. football isn’t as entertaining as basketball or American football
@@Ervcurveetc. ok hol up
At this point, I want Stephen A to cover ESPN The Ocho!
I'm seriously getting upset with the fact that Lebron fans flip flop daily. When Kawhi beat the Lakers twice already they said "oh it's just another game. It doesn't prove anything" now that Lebron beats the Clippers oh hes not on his level.
Exactly!!!! 😂😂😂😂 and in both games the clips won kawhi definitely out played lebron MAJORLY
John Doe Lebron didn’t care about matchups then. After the passing of his close friend/rival and the fact that it’s past mid season he needed to make a statement against giannis and Kawhi. Playoff Lebron would destroy playoff kawhi.
@@TheKingcardo these excuses are really funny do you honestly think bron didn't care about beating the clips the 2 times they lost lol gtfoh
John Doe tbh I don’t think so I watched him play both games he didn’t have the same “go get it” attitude
RcDw 😂😂great story bro
Max interrupts. Stephen A: "ZIP IT, WE HEARD YOU"
Stephen A interrupts: "HOL ON, HOL ON, NO, NO NO"
few days into quarantine and they back into same discussion😂
Kawhi and Lebron are both all time great players. Crazy how much talent is in today's game
I remember Stephen A. calling Steph Curry the best player on the planet back in 2016. KD wasn’t the only guy.
*sigh* not this again
Sigh your watching and complaining again
Low Distortion What else they got, ESPN’s other big time topic is Stephen A. trolling the Cowboys and they know they can’t milk that while they’re milking LeBron Topics. So this is more of a cash grab then anything
I thought Stephen a said kd was the best player in the world lmao
Please let’s get this debate on quarantine
Yall just recycling topics now
Yet your watching and complaining again
Lebohang Malejoane What else they got, ESPN’s other big time topic is Stephen A. trolling the Cowboys and they know they can’t milk that while they’re milking LeBron Topics. So this is more of a cash grab then anything
Now? They been doing that for years and they've done this topic at least 15 times this season.
"Linel Messi"
luke heintzman 😂😂😂😂
Lol. The pronounciation is appalling.
i died
Whenever they ran out of topics to do their show, they bring up this topic or others topic involving whether lebron is the best, Lebrun is the goat....etc.
Is no one going mention that what kawhi did last year was like what lebron does every year in the playoffs
Lebron can't guard kawhi u guys saw everytime lebron tried to guard kawhi who the reigning nba finals mvp when was the last time lebron won a championship when was the last time he hit a game winning shot for the championship
When was the last time Kawhi did it?
He never has.
Not in the finals. And furthermore beating the warriors without kd and klay does not make him better than lebron. If Lebron was fortunate enough to face the warriors without kd and klay considering he dropped 51 on them fully healthy, u seriously think the cavs wouldn't have won?
Jahleel X Lebron wouldn’t have got to the finals if Kawhi was in the east🙄🤦🏾♂️ Lebron wouldn’t have beaten the sixers or the bucks either.
I had to rewind to see if Max really said “he hasn’t proven it recently”. My man really had those words exit his mouth.
But he hasn't
Hasn’t been to the finals since 2018 and hasn’t won an MVP since 2013, max is correct sorry to tell you
Sho Sho b kawhi hasn’t even won a mvp..
Sho Sho b yu do realize the finals is less than two years ago and kawhi never won an mvp
@@shoshob9666 what has Kawhi done. Load manage his way into the playoffs to ensure he wins? If he is greater then why does he have to load manage all season? And not only that he beat the warriors without kd and klay. Not something to be impressed by. Bron dropped 51 on a fully healthy warriors now if kd and klay were missing what do u think he would've done?
They talk about this more times a week than I take a 💩. 💤💤💤🔫. Fire this topic.
5:46 this man said the Tampa Bay bucs
LeBron has two victories over Kawhi since his breakout 2015 season. One was when Kyrie dropped 57 points and the other is when Avery Bradley turned into Steph Curry.
Y’all lebron haters so corny😂
Louder for the people in the back king👑
@@kid_-xm3wf and the LBJ fans have the best excuses
Mahomes and Messi better
Jiglopuff soccers not a real sport. Requires no athleticism
Another LeBron debate, how shocking😦
Best Shooter because everybody has to know that lebron is not the best but kawhi is
Davod Hashimi Kawhi isn’t
How fast they’re forgetting Giannis with no NBA being played. That man screwed over more than anyone this season. MVP and probably a Title.
Stephen A is just shaking his head in response to Max from the very beginning...lol..lol
How can these guys even have this debate when they don’t acknowledge Messi
Ryan Hollins its impossible to talk about something they know nothing of. Messi has a legit argument as being the best player in the world across all sports every year. He is the undoubted goat of his sport so yeah he deserves consideration even from these fools who know nothing.
They must get a big bonus in pay everytime they have a Lebron topic that’s how you know Lebron has a impact on a lot of things in the world💯
It's crazy tho
N!KE PAYS ESPN TO TALK ABOUT LEBRON..PAID PROMOTION
*Yeah and like all the viewers are 90% millennials who know nothing about basketball*
SAS is right Kawhi isn’t on LeBron’s level, he's above Lebron's level. Fight me...
@@Eagle0watch7dv I disagree! And here's why......
I guess it's either the same topic every other day or report live from behind the Bodega at the local dice game. 🤣😂🤣😂🤦🏾♂️🚫🧢.
I’d love to see Skip and Max vs Shannon and SAS
Honestly why can’t these guys take a break from working because this is starting to get lame
They still talking about this?
And your still complaining about it
Natasha Trotter What else they got, ESPN’s other big time topic is Stephen A. trolling the Cowboys and they know they can’t milk that while they’re milking LeBron Topics. So this is more of a cash grab then anything
Came here just for the comments lol They reachin for topics!! 😆
No sports got ESPN talking about topics from 2 years ago.
Lol they be having this conversation twice a week.
Twice a day🤣
I could swear that Nick Wright is now a black man
aajr 23 😂it doesn’t make any since
I actually like Max’s argument here. It makes sense.
Imo Max often makes solid points. Idk why people hate. But to me it's herd mentality.
Max is dumb just cause you win a Regular Season MVP or Finals MVP doesn't mean u r the Best Player In The World.. It was years Lebron didn't win MVP and he was clearly THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD. There were year's when Lebron won MVP and didn't make the Finals and was clearly The Best Player In The WORLD. Max, what r u talking about???
@@cwhitt8110 Lebron didn't win it all those years so it doesn't matter.
@@realone3602 Being the best player and being on the best team are two different things.
C Whitt it’s kind of a what have you done for me lately mentality.. so if kawhi won the finals and giannis won mvp last year, and lebron is 2-3 against them this year, why should we believe he’s the best?
30 seconds in and I’m baffled
6 month later, Kawhi at home! lol
One guy needs load management to win a ring under the age of 30. Lol
Rafael Felan dude u don’t know what u taking about. Smh!
Yea and the other guy needs to play with 2 other HOF allstar caliber players in their primes just to (sometimes) win a ring. Lol
I just love how one championship Vs Steph and Draymond has acceded kawhi over Lebron lol
Ugh I wish Klay was healthy during the finals! Then nobody would be talking Kawhi
Anthony 2b channel 15 And
Lebron hasn’t beaten him in the finals?
@@zerokool-2058 Please don't talk about injuries, the Warriors have won all their rings because of this (Love, Irving, Conley, Parker, Leonard, Paul,...). They benefited every year of injuries through their run of championships. Kawhi was DESTROYING the Warriors with Durant AND Thompson on the floor in the Oracle before Pachulia hurt him intentionally....The dynasty killer 🖐🏾got his revenge (karma is b**)
Why you don't keep the same energy when Golden State eliminated a depleted San Antonio team without Leonard and Parker ??
You're just partial dude with no credibility.
Anyway Raptors WITHOUT Leonard and Gasol exposed Golden State (121-113) during the regular season in Oakland and the Warriors had everyone 🤷♂️
Clippers took them 2 games, Rockets 3. The Raptors could take more.
I don't believe at all that a full squad of Golden State was unbeatable...I don't buy this fake narrative.
Kawhi doesn't need to create a supersteam like LeHelp James by joining 2 others franchises players in their prime to win easy rings. The move to the Miami Heat in 2010 was so weak...Kawhi would has never done something like this. He could join Davis and LeHelp James last summer but that's not his mentality, he is not interested to win with an all stars team.
Hp forthewin Toronto would’ve lost in 6, if Klay was healthy the whole series.
Can Stephen A make up his mind like omg 😭
Had to check the date of this upload, deja Vu and ground hog day clashing all over the place
Max says this to the fact that LeBron went to the Finals 7 straight seasons "Who Cares Kawhi beat a team without KD and Klay for a quarter and a half
Yeah, well, Golden State got their Karma 100× worst ever since Kawhi went down in 2017... Notice that ever since that injury... Kawhi hasn't lost in Golden State homecourt eversince
Did you see the 2014 nba finals
Arthas you mean when khawi got finals mvp for holding lebron to 28-8-8 lmaooo
@@nfgreat639 LeBron got beaten by a record margin. Tell me how many points he scored in garbage time 😂😂
@@erikmerced6329 sound just like skip Bayless. Just repeating his lines.
Sometimes I question Stephen A because he was one of the people saying that philly was going to the finals last year, and now all of a sudden “oh they were young and not established”
Stephen A. is stupid... When Philly goes up 2-1, he said the series is over... When the Raptors tied the series, he said Philly would win game 5 and close out the series in 6... When the Bucks won game 1, he said the series is over... When the Raptors lost game 5, he said the Warriors would win it all... All he says is nonesense prediction when 90% of the time he is wrong

They talk about the same thing ever week but I still watch because it is very entertaining.
LeBron, Kawhi, Giannis. Any order.
Lebron’s level? Lmao skill wise, klaw has been the best player on the floor when their two teams have met every time
No

Thank you stephen a
It’s amazing how often they recycle and change their minds on this topic.
I respect Max Kellerman, one of the unusual experts in ESPN who is not paid to praise daily "The Choosen One" 🤷♂️
Imagine saying kawai is the best in the world when he beat a warriors team that didn’t have two of there superstars
Imagine beating the full super warriors team at halftime and being purposely hurt by zaza so they could beat the spurs and now when he gets the chance at revenge others get hurt and make a big deal out it.
Krxmpuzz X he best philly who had three all stars Joel,jimmy,Ben and golden had two Allstars and it was fair
Krxmpuzz X Klay only missed one game. As far as I’m concerned, Lebron never beat Golden State when they had KD
Klay Thompson played 5 out 6 games and let's not forget refs messed up at the end of Game 5 so the Raptors should of technically won in 5 games. Raptors outplayed the Warriors. They played better defense and they beat the Warriors at their own strength in ball movement.
Rocco Robbins that was game 1. Even if Lawhi was not injure golden state will still win.
surprised they didnt use zoom
Haha gotta love Stephen A. Smith.🤣🤣🇲🇽🇲🇽
Stephen A is nitpicking at Kawhi’s playoff run. You can make injury arguments for multiple championships teams throughout history it’s a part of the game.
Like 2017 warriors was being smashed by spurs until Kawhi went down and dats supposed to be the greatest team of all time
dolo. shaun exactly.
Max's takes are the same every time. He's like a tape recorder
Nideesh Reddy facts he’s probably the only one that thinks this
hes consistent.
Steven Tejada nah alot of people think Kawhi is the best
I mean they are talking about the same thing like they always do
@@coolx512 true
Can somebody quarantine max kellerman?!
Even if you believe Bron is still the best, to say Kawhi isn’t on his level is disrespectful
