“6 INCHES IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE” is insane. Even Chiney put her head down. 😂 1:12
😂😂😂😂😂
Nah
No Diddy
thats craaaazyyy
Ayooooo
Perk ain’t lying. He’s been pushing for Brunson and the Knicks since the season started.
He not lying about Our Mother of Mercy either....
Yup. He was literally pushing for Brunson since last season so he's a real fan.
Yupp
Since last szn no kizzy
Why is no one brining up the fact that Tobias Harris scored 0 pts…
And only took 2 shots..
@@Gardnerspicks And is a max contract player
Why does philly decide to keep him?, he comes up short literally every postseason
Shannon Sharpe already did on nightcap 😂😂
They really should of kept Butler I didn’t understand them at the time keeping Harris over Butler
"Tobias Harris over me?!" hits different now
It has always hit different
It doesn't matter, they're both out of the playoffs
It hit different since the first year jb was in miami
Pretty sure Harris scored more points then Butler these playoffs
@@shak8277buddy that butler comment was 5 years ago💀
PREACHER PERK ARRIVED TODAY😂😂😂😂
"It's not the size of the player. It's the heart inside the player"
😂😂
Perkins need to shut up
@@whaj041081
Get out of here then.
Indeed 😂😂😂😂😂 !! He literally took me to church for a few seconds.
Kendrick Perkins is right when all the media didn't believe it was him
Ngl he been right about a few things
Yeap, I still remember the day after 2022 draft, he told SAS to apologize to NY front office for not making a pick and going to far in his disagreement. Praying with Spike and hand with head down in the 2022 draft. SAS didn't.
He made a prediction and got lucky. Happens all the time. Knicks were handed this series
@@jerseyraider9618”Knicks were handed this series” most casual take, aside from game 2 having its moments being questionable down the stretch all the Knicks players played they role
@@jerseyraider9618Cry harder😂😂
Lmaoo Perk singing he’s been so good to me is an instant classic
"Tobias Harris was so awful this brother lucky he's wearing a Sixers uniform" 😂
Stephen A when perk was singing was crazy🤣🤣
SAS faces while Perk monologuing and singing lmfaooo
The basketball gods of Spalding and Wilson 😂
she thought she ate
I have no idea who she is, because ESPN sucks...but she's funny and well informed. The only female commentators that I like listening to are ex-players because they know what they're talking about.
@@willvr4her and andraya Carter have been covering women’s games a lot and they’re both great, I love when they get on ESPN to talk NBA
What about James Naismith he's the one who invented the game of basketball.
@@brandonwilliams9560missed the joke
she is GORGEOUS 🥹🥹😮💨
And got that natural thing going on behind her too! 💯
I love Chiney 😭
As a looong suffering Knicks fan I'm so proud of this team, Indiana is gonna be tough but I think we can win the series. Might go 7 games.
Kendrick The Prognosticator Perkins needs to get his contract renewed ESPN. He's the only one Knicks fans want to hear talk about the team!
Brunson Was Big Time Wow and Anunoby was a stud defensively
Those 2 are who the Knicks should build around
@@vicegrippYou forgot Hart and DiVincenco...I am sure Brunson elevated his game in part due to his dogs being there... Chemistry on this team is 110%
Not enough
@@DeusJ35 oh yeah I agree 100% that Villanova squad is great together but DiVincenzo & Hart are role players, the core stars are Brunson & Annunoby.
They aren’t talking enough about how incredible Anunoby has been. The man does his job and puts up the numbers on both sides of the court. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a 6’7 guy shut down offensive threats that have at least 5 inches on him and still put up big buckets like that
6 inches in front of your face is WILD
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He definitely has 6inches in Mollys face
He loves girth too.
😂😂😂😂
No Diddy 😂😂
Perk is invited to the party on top of what remains of New York City after the Knicks win the chip
🤣🤣🤣
No Bucks, No Heat, No 76s, injured Pingus Tingus - idk if they can make it to the NBA Finals, but this is as good as its going to get for them.
They not beating. Boston shut up
Tingus pingus revenge tour
@@dbutta2496We be Boston already in the regular season. Boston Celtics is nothing special in the east. We can get physical with Boston Celtics and knock you guys around.
@@traviscarter1023 The Knicks win one series and feel their self. Boston going to the finals goofy
@@dbutta2496 thats the logical approach but as we have seen in sports over and over, the best odds dont always win. they just USUALLY do.
I’m 25 y/o, I’m watching Knicks ball again! I’m super busy being a first year teacher but this teams kept me distracted and happy. Haven’t seen this much hype since the 12-13 team which I watched a lot of games. And against Indiana… time for revenge
The last take Perk had was one of the best takes I’ve heard from him. He’s growing 👌🏾
Yup! Phenomenal close out from Perk
Chiney Ogwumike is well spoken & great energy . would love to see more of her
She’s always on ESPN,… when she’s not playing
That ny vs indy series gone be real dope 💯💯💯
No its not. Knicks in 5
Nonsense Knicks gonna win easy
Hit or miss. Any team that relies on the 3-ball all game isn't reliable but can quickly blow the doors off.
@@GeorgeFitness-yo8bldidn’t ya say this last year against the heat ? 😂😂😂
@@GeorgeFitness-yo8blim a Knicks fan but pacers in 7
I've been a Knicks fan since the envelope got stuck! This is the best moment since a few moments after the Bronco ride Imma tell you what!!!!
We all need to see the Knicks win the NBA Championship. It would be the biggest sports moment in modern history.
Why?
@@nikobellic2515because it’s New York, greatest city in America, everyone loves NY, and NY hasn’t won since 73, the aura would be incredible
@@PaperChaserLa💯
Cause it won't happen
@@PaperChaserLaNo it isn't and not everybody does, and I'm from there.
Nobody says nothing about the beautiful black women on Stephen show. It's nice to see beautiful black women reporting on sports
Chimney a baddie but men don't like women reporting sports no matter how they look
What about Asian white and Latina women? You’re obviously racisss
Too much hair and makeup when your reporting sports but diversity is good
Nothing wrong but you sounding like you should be watching WNBA then, no ??
@@amaddenmind4597lmfaoo facts
Perk with some bars!!!!!
Perk believed in the NY Knicks since the beginning and now everyone knows why !!!! The grit from the Villanova guys is priceless.
“Tobias Harris was there in spirit.” Ocho, @Nightcap. 😂
kendrick taking me to church this morning wasn’t what i expected but i’ll accept it
One thing for 76ers fans to be happy about is that Tobias Harris has finally played his last game as a Sixer
Top 5 worst contract EVER in NBA history.
Harris was 🗑...🚮
Harris was absolutely 🗑️
They should’ve kept jimmy Butler instead of Tobias Harris 😂😂😂😂
@@Tman23212I think the choice was Jimmy Butler or Ben Simmons. They chose wrong.
@@gild651 Ben Simmons has some so much potential but he failed. And jimmy never scared of the moment you just can’t win championship by himself
Tobias Harris just a taller version of PJ Tucker. Cardio Warriors 😂😂😂
Nah dude Tobias can play, create his own shots but he has not been showing up in this serie.
Nah bro pj defended his ahh off in 2021 finals
I'd rather have Tucker and im not even joking.
Don't insult PJ like that lol he gets paid properly. Tobias is basically stealing from the Sixers
Pj better lol
I’m taking it one series at a time. If we get to the ECF then this season is a HUGE success!!!!
The Boston Celtics Series will be tough but going through Indy and 76ers will make the team grow as well, if Randle was healthy I could see the Knicks winning in 6 games vs Celtics, but I think Thibs can beat the Celtics in 7 games Celtics had a very easy games and is probably versing the Cavs in the 2nd round the Knicks had a tougher road to conference finals so for that I would give Knicks an edge there
Injury report - Jimmy,Terry, Gianis,Lillard, Embid 70%,Pinga tingus
NEXT- Brunson,Haliburton,Mitchell 💀🥶
stephen As face when perk sings 😅😂😂😂😅😅😂
More singing for Preacher Perk please. 😂😅
Kendrick Perkins sings some church hymns
Tell'em Perk! One of those naysayers is there with you lol.
Let's go Knicks!
Preach Perk! 🙏🏽
Let em have it Perk! You’re the only one authorized to speak on the Knicks
Seeing the New York knicks in this position is so awesome. GO NEW YORK KNICKS_
PREACHER PERK!!!! LOLOL I LOVE THIS !!
This is usually the time the Knicks organization does some weird thing like arrest Charles Oakley or jam Patrick Ewing up and ask him to identify himself
Was that the Knicks organization or MSG the venue?
@@poliquitit MSG , he's tryna sound smart 🤣
Had nothing to do with the Knicks organization. That was the MSG staff.
😂😂
Cope
Tobias Harris is like me at my job .. I jus get my check and go home , nun more nun less 😂😂
The Great Rev Paul Jones - “I Won’t Complain “ I hear you Kendrick 🙏🏾💙 LETS GO KNICKS ‼️
SAS face is priceless
If the Knicks had Randle they definitely would be
Not necessarily If Minnesota beats Denver Stephen a will tell you.They are favor to win a championship.
@@1990758Being a threat and being a favourite are completely different. Denver is the clear favourite and if Minnesota beats them obviously they will be a favourite. I don’t think Knicks are a threat but it’s an interesting debate
Are we just gonna forget Randle’s performance in the playoffs years prior?
@jasian3050 It's not about stats. It's about his physicality. Embid was pushing up on Knicks, Randle would have pushed back.
@@joshreid1006 E s p n will tell you everything is favor to win. If the lakers would have beaten Denver. Then they are favorite to win the championship.. For these guys on television whichever way to win blows.
Keep on preaching Big Perk.
SAS face at 4:23..like he smelled something stank...it's Perks singing 😂😂
I'm looking at all these talking heads praising the Knicks when a few months back these same people said the Brunson signing was a mistake.
Brunson signing will go down as the best free agent acquisition ever. Mark my words.
Yes they have new information and it would be pretty silly to continue to call it a mistake. It’s called being an adult
Not Perkins. He’s been BIG on Brunson from the beginning.
One game and series at a time. Let’s just focus on the Pacers. Understand the excitement. Be careful of looking past a team.
Big perk got my vote for "the voice blind auditions" with that singing😂😂😅😂😅
Love Big Perk. Great points
How long before we lose the TNT crew due to TV rights? 😢
When their contract is up with tge NBA probably😔
Are they not renewing their deal?
Likely after next season. NBA only cares for money
What does that have to do with this video
Can’t wait for that day to come. They are the most biased panel out there. Visually pissed off that the Knicks knocked out the 76ers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Knicks having an amazing season but knicks lack a secondary shot creator to help Brunson and especifically if they have to go against the multiple perimeter defenders they got. Think it will be too much.
Definitely are missing Randle but they have been doing it for so long without him that they are use to it now. Donte and OG have to step up for sure and provide some of that secondary scoring. Hart is the wildcard. The team just is physical and have heart. Plus they play defense. Not a pushover for any team. Have to get by a tough Pacers team but I have the Knicks in 6. Pacers don’t play defense.
I cant wait to see pascal and og play against each other. That's going to be a lit match up
Jalen Brunson is the story!! Nothing short of incredible, resilient and a true leader. I hope the Knicks make it to the East Finals and give themselves a chance
LG ANUNOBY LOL!!
Let’s go Knicks
I became a legit fan of Brunson because of this series. Them Vil boiz were vicious!
Sing Perk sing! Love it!
This knick team making me cry tears of joy baby 💪
Whoever wrote the script to the Knicks vs 76ers series needs a raise
what does this comment mean?
@gambino48 hes implying the series was fixed which is not true. The better team won that is all
@@gambino48 nothing, he's one of those ppl who doesn't kno what they're talking about....but still keeps on talking, smh
Philly fan salty
@@theplanet7187 yeah that makes sense
SIX INCHES IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE !!!! Man that speech is so classic, I love that movie.
Perk high af 😂
Yo I thought I was the only one who noticed that 😂😂mf eyes were mad low and type red
@@keronwindley4950 facts . He barely could keep them Mfs open 😂😂. I knew from the laugh in the beginning 😂😂
Knicks Nation BABY!!!
a quote from one of the greatest movies of all time " The Hunt for Red October" "Let Them Sing" S.A.S Let the man sing!!!
Perk laugh was crazy 🤣
To be fair, the Celtics will have real defensive players who can hold Brunson down if needed, buuuuuuuuut 😂, Bronson on another level right now 😳
Both true
Bro if you think Philly didn't you crazy. Philly has had the best consistent defense against Brunson throughout the year.
Me 🤝 Tobias Harris: scoring 0 in an NBA game
The crazy part is he`s a free agent. Of course , Philly knows you suck, but show your next team, you still have something.
@@troyg2458 tbh with how much they paid him I wouldn’t even care that much if I’m him I’d lowkey be cool retiring tomorrow
Come on Stephen a you gotta hit em with the no diddy that 6 inch line sounded crazy 😂😂
We gotta see these three together more 💯💯🔥
I've never seen someone so excited to see the Knicks get exactly as far as they did last season
They going to the ECF....😮😅😅😊
Jrue holiday and D White wouldn’t let brunson run lose like philly did though, it’d be up to the role players to step up and the Jays would have to struggle
Fact
He will figure them out too. JB is that dude!
Yea ok look up highlights brunson vs celtics and come back he cooks everybody
Keep them pipes going perk you sing it all out bro
Big Perk been preaching the choir! PREACH
Knowing how the Celtics choke. This lowkey could the Knicks best chance to reach the Finals.
Lmmmmmmmaoooooooooooo
Since 2019 the celtics have only lost to the Bucks,Heat and the Nets but they don't really count in the playoffs. Basically only two teams and they're both home
You wish 😂😂😂😂 Celtics in 5 against the Knicks
🗽🟠🔵 #Knicks 🟠🔵🗽
6:40 Stephen A Smith got me almost crying laughing 😃
Big Perk, this mornin’ taken us 2 ⛪️ singing praises 😂😂😂
No Molly this is great Friday
Terrible Friday Christine Williamson is the worst
I dont see any team that could even take 2 games from the Celtics in the East lol
Now the west is a whole different story.
This man Perk really sang “I Won’t Complain” live on national tv 😂
This is showing chemistry is HUGE factor in basketball. No coincidence the Villanova boys are playing this well.
Chiney is baaaad 🔥🔥🔥
Get a life goofy
No 🔥🔥
Fr fr.
Pacers in 6 😎
Yeah, on your PlayStation. FOH!
@@UniversalAlmightyPacers in 7
@@Frankieefootballmundial Knicks in 7.
You got the right folks now
Gotta love perk
All I can say is New York knicks they’re some bad bad boys 👍🏾
I'm wanting a Knicks-Mavericks final. That would be a great storyline and match-up
Im still picking Celtics nuggets final
Big perk the dawgggg! 🔥🔥 His Knick card valid. Only media head giving props the right way.
When Perk started singing😂
1:12 NO DIDDY!!!!!!
Hustle play is at a low in the current NBA. And NYK have that and bundles and bunches. Who knows how far it can take them in the playoffs. I still can't believe 2 of my favorite players assemble and help to complete a squad like this while they're both in their primes 😭😭😭.
It would be cool to see new teams in the finals.
FLOWERS TO PERK he ain't from NY but dammmt we love him like he was born and raised here!!!!!!
last year was miami, this year new york.
Stop it Perk! I got blood 🩸 coming out of my ears 😂
Man I wish they had Randle would be such good run
Big up big perk 🙌🏽
Keep singing Big Perk!
