Maxs greatest quote: “why is Giannis so hungry? Because Kawhi ate his lunch, Grown man business “
Corey Jovan hahahaha has I’m dead
So is Giannis going to eat Kawhi's dinner?
@@K.B.Williams never will, kawhi is too savage and mentally tough. Most mentally tough player in the NBA! Kawhi will just assassinate anyone in his path if not injured
Plain and simple if kd wasn't hurt Toronto wouldn't won.
@@DatsjoeYT But KD was hurt and Toronto got the trophy...
espn's ranking fell off when they put klay at 49 and zion at 42
jake b if Zion went up against Thompson right now he would annihilate him
You do know that klay just suffered a torn ACL right?
Same thing with kd , he wouldve been #1 on the list if he didnt rupture his achilles
@@Mr7Cavalier7 i just dont see why an injury matters lol hes gonna play at some point and people know who he is already
Andrew Castelli it’s not a 1v1, it’s about production
AiR- JoRdaN143 lol I know it was a joke obviously Zion would beat a 1 legged Klay
why Stephen smith starts talking slowly and suddenly he raises his voice like an Intercontinental missile
lol
He's Daffy Ducking his argument 🤣
frankly I though max would burst with laugher - at least I did
he's stupid
😭😭
Max October 2018: “Lebron will dominate this season and once again prove he’s the best player on earth”
Max February 2019: “Giannis is the mvp and best player in the world”
Max April 2019: “Kawhi and the raptors will lose to the Magic in the first round”
Max later in April: “Kawhi is FAR BETTER than Giannis”
Max now: “Giannis and Kawhi are better than Lebron”
Max 2 months from now: “Steph Curry is once again proving why he was a unanimous mvp”
I like the last part
Yeah, That's Max oright. lol
Slurpy so you’d rather him be ignorant and not change his mind on what he sees?
Slurpy typical max😭😭😭
Yeah time passed and he saw enough to change his mind. A lot can happen in a year. Lebron bummed it and played one side of the ball. Kawhi giannis is putting up the same offensive numbers and locking down on the other end. They are better right now in time.
Max: My name is Max.
Steven A: You are wrong and here is why.
ANDREW KERR overrated, there has been 1000 comments like that on every first take video for a solid year
LOL!
Enough Said.
Mic Drop.
😂 😂 😂 😂
Bron gets injured and everybody starts actin a fool🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Swipa King EVERYBODY 🤦🏾♂️😂😂
that’s a fact
this lebron statement year
🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
To be fair, he didn’t look right in the games he came back last season.
SAS: we're still in the month of September
Max: we're at the end but yes its September
SAS: done with your soliloquy? Your wrong and here's why.
Max: hello Stephan A
SAS: ....you done with your soliloquy?
yooo i just spit out my drink i'm dead
tripple c 😂😂
tripple c You’re not your
@@centrallifestyle3650 dude no one's got time for that. Someone grab their English teacher from my comments
MAX: let's discuss who is the best player RIGHT NOW, TODAY.
SAS: Begins to list all of Lebron's career accomplishments
😂🤦♂️
Gurren Gougo exactly hahaha
What has Giannis done tho lol and as good as kawhi was lebrons last year in Cleveland was better
Randy Goku kawhi just won a chip and finals mvp. He’s the best in the game right now. Idk about anything else but kawhi is #1.
Brett lol when kd won finals mvp ppl still said Lebron was better. If Lebron was on the raptors and kawhi on the lakers it’s the same result tbh
Randy Goku I don’t know about that. Maybe Bron would’ve won with the raptors, but I know for sure the lakers wouldn’t have missed the playoffs with kawhi
3:02 SaS's extended silence... followed by the perfect pronunciation of Antetokounmpo... I'M DEAD 🤣🤣🤣
You finished??
“Perfect” lol maybe it’s not far off a super anglicised version
Yeah that was nice😎
YOUR ARGUEMENT IS DEAD RIGHT THERE
Amaan A ikrrr, “you finished????.....YOUR ARGUMENT IS DEAD, RIGHT THERE!”🤣🤣🤣
Max Kellerman next month: James Harden is the best NBA player on the planet earth.
He is he's by far the best scorer in the league
Astoban Dingleberrys scorer doesn’t make you the best player
@CURRENCY365 ☠️☠️
KAWHI ATE HIS LUNCH 😂😂. Giannis is a little hungry baby, get over it freak... 😂
Can't deny that 36 points a game last year.
This man was holding in a scream
Are you finished 😂
It scared me 😂😂
😂😂
hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha
This didn’t age well
Me in 2021 laughing at all these comments about how kawhi was a terminator that couldn’t lose
I get so hyped when Max makes that face in the thumbnail 😂😂
find a girl
Unruly Bxbert every time I don’t see that witch I drop a like
Lol me too especially when he says something kinda dumb
anthony davis number 5 lol, what has he done to be above the great Steph Curry lol
lol be realistic AD is over Curry everybody and they mama know that lol
Monster Kookie is what way is AD better than Steph?
espn's nba rank are projections, not based off of what a player has accomplished
Like they play different positions but seriously it’s no way people really think AD is better than curry
KAWHI ATE HIS LUNCH 😂😂. Giannis is a little hungry baby, get over it freak... 😂
This didn’t age well. Kawhi lost a 3-1 lead to the NUGGETS THE NUGGGETTSSS. disappointment
Giannis almost got swept too.
@@QuanLovesGaming and he was out in the only game they won...
Kawhi still top 5
Lebron lost from Mavericks in 2011 when Miami were favourotes and if he played right, Miami should destroy them in 5 games. It wasn't only Kawhi's fault and he didn't lost alone, whole Clippers team lost and whole Clippers team was trash that night. Nobody could score anything from Clippers that night and Denver destoryed them. Kawhi could score maybe 30 points that game, and Denver would win again because that night they were better team than Clipers. But it was only one game, that game he and whole team played bad, but every other game he was the leader and when Clipers should destroy Dallas and should play conference finals, Paul George played like trash and Kawhi was the man who every game played amazing, there wasn't game where he scored less than 30 points against Dallas, but you only want to talk about him when he play bad, not when he destroy everyone. Lebron mustn't let himself to play like noob with team like Miami. In 2011 Dwayne Wade had the best statistics than everyone, he had even better statistics than Dirk in offense and defense and Miami still lost in 6 games. I can't even imagine how bad Lebron played when he had the best player of the finals that year and Miami still lost. Kawhi choked only one game, Lebron chiked whole series.
@@hristijandimitrovski8664 u wrote all that and non of that is worse than choking from 3-1
LOVEEE that there’s no Molly today!!! what a smooth flowing, uninterrupted and thoughtful show 😍
🤣🤣🤣
She be interrupting like she’s Lisa Lesley or something
I hope you're a woman making heart eyes at guys like that...
TruMusic89 why smh? It’s true
@TruMusic89 Molly is supposed to be a moderator. She is supposed to fact check Max and SAS when necessary. She is supposed to be non biased and is not supposed to always interrupt like she does. She's always blurting out, and tries too hard
The disrespect of steph curry is insane and I'm not even a GSW fan
Blasphenomous
Facts
How is AD, who never did ANYTHING, ahead of Curry?
That's about right for Step! His defense is sub par at best.
@@howlcittv7434 FALSE. Another person who doesnt know basketball. His stats and numbers say he a little bit above average. Yall just see him play the best PGs when he is on tv. His defense is really not that bad, i tell you whos defense is really bad now and even worse....lebron James. Check those numbers out
KD was playing at a different level before those injuries.
Tbh even after his injury in the part of game 6 he was playing better than them
@@Whatevercomestomindpodcast @Heav0 Bucks He played game 5 not 6 and he had 11 Pts and 2 Rebounds in 12 minutes witch is on par with what most superstars will give you in an opening quarter of the playoffs. And if he haden't of played those 12 minutes Toronto would have won in 5.
Clayton Bigsby kawhi was definitely more consistent. Took KD a few games to wake up . Kawhi was balling since game 1 . KD was balling I’m just saying tho
He was playing at a different team you mean
Duane Crooms I feel u but Kawhi was playing against the Magics lmao
Max: With the Fate of the Universe on the line, I’m taking Biggie over Pac for cultural impact and pure bars and lyrical ability!
Stephen A: You’re wrong and here’s why, I’m only addressing your points, Pac was a lyrical miracle individual
I sat and died laughing at this for like 3 minutes
Biggie over pac 100 pac is overrated
CLEAN MUSIC no biggie overrated he doesn’t rap about the things pac rap about pac do both
Max will go to what everybody says! He says jay z is the greatest rapper of all time just because everybody is saying it
Trigg 314_ Pac was a huge hypocrite
Everyone is acting like Kawhi took over every game. He had a handful of signature games. Lebron has taken over entire playoff runs
R S facts
R S rs!!
Metro Boomin well obviously he didn’t mean this year idiot 😑.
They are talking about one single season. Otherwise there is a reason why lebron is considered in G.O.A.T conversations and not kawhi leonard
R S they acting like kawhi is the best player lol no hate on kawhi tho the dude is beast, but y’all know raps ain’t winning on a healthy warriors, right? Imposible.
1 year later Giannis almost got swept 🧹 in the second round and Kwahi blew a 3-1 lead in the same round and Bron won the championship
Fax I’m laughing at all these delusional comments
Now Kawhi dropped 45 and Giannis is competing with The nets and lebron in Cancun
@Kaden Williams it a 7 game series, hopefully they can turn the series around like the mavs series
@Kaden Williams I mean they did beat the jazz and if Kawhi play, clip in 7
Kd blew a 3-1 lead against the Golden state warriors in 2016 and join them after in the same year Golden state warriors Blew a 3-1 Lead against the Cavs.....recently in 2020-2021 kd blew a 2-0 lead against Milwaukee bucks and that's a FACT!!
5:08 "clean diet, handsome, all-around good guy" 😂
I didnt notice that 😂😂😂
Rojelio Castro I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Steven A. Smith at 3:03 : Im bout to end this mans whole career
Lebron in the west never gonna be the best player in the world, his career benefited of the weak east, and Kawhi in his only east year prove it.
@@Marlowe10100 That is like the dumbest thing i've read this year. Kahwi won against sick 76ers and warriors... well... YOU KINDA CANT LOOSE 2 STARS IN FINALS AND EXPECT A VICTORY. Now im a warrior hater but srsly... Yes, Lebron might become nr2 someday in future, and its gonna be Anthony Davis taking the throne from him. Dude is like 24-25 and already a premiere superstar that can literally do anything.
what career
@@Bleckyyyyso many excuses
@@Marlowe10100 Lmao you were very wrong
Kawhi is an incredible player but he ain’t no Lebron James. Send him to Cleveland and see what Kawhi can do
raptors has no big difference with Cleveland before dude..
Ale Basketball 38 years old Duncan, 38 years old manu and washed up Tony lmao
Glena Biscante bruh u crazy dude. U should feel like an idiot looking back at this comment lmao
Ale Basketball ginobili and Tony was old
GoodGolly MsMolly that man is dumb Lol. Raptors had a all star Kyle Lowry. Not to mention people on their team were showing up. Siakam dropped 32 in the first game and Fred dropped over 20 in the last one. No one on that trash Cleveland team was getting buckets besides Lebron.
Why is AD top 5? He barely played last season and didn’t even make the playoffs. Also the nba disrespected klay by putting him 49th
They really had John Collins ahead of Klay im done
U should watch AD then if u asking that question
If AD wasn't on restricted minutes he would have gotten 29.5 points, 13 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.8 blocks and 2 steals.
This list is a prediction of the top players of next season. AD has the potential to be great this season and Klay is going to be out this season too.
AD is a beast
Lebron does not make the playoffs for the first time since 2005 and y’all this bullshit, can’t wait for this season to start already.
9 final losses... And 3 final wins..lol Bron ...well.. He done..
@@The-Real-One-
That's what happens in the modern NBA. The internet provided better scouting and thus, more talented players enter the league at alamring rates.
LeBron doesn't have the luxury of a playing on a super team in the weakest era of basketball like MJ did. The fact that he has 3 is remarkable.
Sir Toon The Great once again an idiot just has to bring up his finals record
@@The-Real-One- no dumbass if its 9 finals and 3 rings its a 6-3 record simple math you'd think😉
Sir Toon The Great He done???🤣🤣🤣 im here just tagging u
idc but KD would be in the convo if he didn't get injured 🤷♂️
Roy nguyen obviously
Obviously dude
He should be in the convo regardless. These guys are high
He would be the best if he wasnt injured
Roy nguyen by he did get injured so no
So Giannis is better than Lebron??? And Harden and AD are better than Curry??? Wow espn 🧢
YTOLLIE espn is on crack
Martin Valdez fax
Gianni's is better then LeBron everything LeBron can do say can Gianni's but more just can't shoot
Tod Wilkinson draymond seems about right, but klay and curry got disrespected. Even with klay’s injury.
Harden and AD are better than curry. Quit talkong
AD at 5 why? Harden ahead of curry definitely leans more curry than harden. Why do I pay attention to anything espn says. I need the season to start...
We'll see how Curry does without Klay and kd
Did you see how he played without kd and klay sat out game 3 against toronto he played great and just had no help at all... U sound stupid
Espn and Bleacher Report are trash
FilthyThoughts 101 they don’t pay attention to games bruh. They just talk
Tarantula Guy his stats will be better I guess, but I don’t think you can say he’s better or worse without them
He said “ you finished “ I laughed 😂😂😂
Giannis cant even shoot and isnt near the passer bron is, all u can say for giannis is he has defense on bron, that’s about it.
That's literally half the game
WavyAli thank yu
babyshak98 let’s be honest it’s 2019 defense is more like 25% of the game
hes more efficient already go look at the career efficiency stats!
@As A Black Man he has an elite post game. The issue was the triple teams when he caught it in the post
Why is harden and AD ahead of curry 💀💀💀💀🤦🏾♂️ 2019 playoffs proved that he at least top 5
To be honest: I am a Warriors fan and I think Harden is a freaking beast. And when we matched up with him in the playoffs I felt he was clearly the better player. However, I am talking mainly ISO. If Harden had a coach like Kerr, he would play smarter. Curry shines these past 4 years over them all because of smart ball movement designed by Steve Kerr.
L
Harden would have beat the Raps
NBA FAN L curry can play off ball harden cant and all that isoing would never work in kerrs system
Bro lol it’s ok AD is above curry bro 😂😂 it’s ok curry is great but he ain’t top 5 your not going to die.
3:15 I have never hear anyone say giannis’s name better

@@torriewalker2820 I hate that it happened but I make no excuses. I blame the fact the Iggy and Dramond stuggled with their shooting and could not command enough attention to keep the defense for boxing on Curry. I was watching that happen all yr. They never corrected it tho.
@@MrOunce3 ..if your full squad was healthy you guys would have easily won
@@torriewalker2820 I think we would have but I also believe you gotta prepare for the worst and hope for the best. We were not prepared for the worse. Dramond been shooting bad all yr.

Kawhi is but I don't want hear about Giannis until he gets a jumper.
I agree Kawhi is better now and younger than Lebron. Lebron don't play defense anymore.
Giannis needs a jumper to survive in the playoffs.
He did win the mvp though, I’m a Lebron fan
@Joseph S Kawhi manage to win a ring without Pippen top 3 Small forward OF ALL TIME , Rodman TOP 1 rebounder of all time, Phil Jackson greatest coach of all time.

Truth. But Lebron was 'LOAD-Managing' on Defense & Effort in the Regular Season before the Playoffs for Years before LoadManaging became a 'Term'..

Kawhi and Lebron are the best in the league smh... and I dont even like Bron

If people wanna say Kawhi is better, I disagree of coarse because LeBron does more but Kawhi just dominated the playoffs & won so I understand that. But Giannis? Y’all lost your minds if you think Giannis right now is better than LeBron James. This segment also makes Max’s argument that LeBron (a 3x champion, been to 8 straight Finals, etc) has the most pressure this year to win make no sense at all. If Kawhi & Giannis are better according to him... how does he have the most pressure? 🤔
Because if Lebron doesn’t do anything this year. It will show that his legacy is based on having stacked teams in a weak Eastern conference and he could not do anything without a stacked team in a stronger conference.
Your dude cant take his team to the tournament. You wanna compare him to the league mvp? 😆 😆 😆
Terrence Lewis So Kawhi championship is a fluke then since he had a stacked team on the Eastern conference 🤷🏾♂️
So if Kawhi doesn’t deliver a championship on the Wild West this year then everything you said about Lebron applies to him as well!!

Also steph changed the game people started guarding him from when he crosses the half court line he is that lethal offensively

tottaly agree with max, lebron is an all time great, but disregarding all his past achievement, and judging him purely based on the now, with age a factor, anyone with a logical unbiased mind, should accept that he is not the best player right now, because he is past his prime, being number 3 is generuose in itself, curry despite reaching his 5th consecutive finals is in 6th thats the real crime here.
Abi THANK YOUUU if we doing that career evaluation without taking into account age and health MJ would still be GOAT and the best in the world every year.
@@sul3377 people don't realize how lebron is dominating. In all the sudden u put mj in it just stfu
Abi your are right tho
You can put KD, Kahwi, Lebron around any players. Giannis is just now learning to shoot

@Justin Williams never
@o o f TM nothing to do with feelings they're not and will never be better than bron.

She’s a way better moderator than Molly. You can tell Max and Stephen enjoy her there not interrupting.
Who is here after the lakers won a championship?
Giannis is definitely not better than lebron but kawhi is better than lebron tho
just because of no post season for lebron, suddenly kawhi is the best player? o c'mon,, thats disrespectful,, i understand what rank espn is. its the coming NBA season, but for God's sake, Lebron is still the best player for a decade..
Defensively he is much better now
Here after both of them get bounced out the second round and Lebron almost in the Finals
Actual list for my prediction for the 2019 list
1. Kawhi
2. Lebron
3. Giannis
4. Curry
5. Harden
6. Davis
Pretty accurate list but I’d put Curry over Giannis
@@bobbyshmurda1243 come on man Giannis put some respect on his name i love curry but Giannis deserves top 3
The fact that LeBron is almost 35 and is still in the conversation with rising superstars who are almost 10 years younger is a credit to him.
rdepaul34 you must be dumb Lebron the goat
1. Curry
2. Kawhi
3. KD
4. Lebron
5. Harden
Last yr Lebron was not top 5. He missed the playoffs because he lost to all the worst teams.
MrOunce3 now this list I actually agree with
Y’all are on crack.
@@nate8604 Thats not and answer. Typical.
Why Stephen A. spazzed like that? 😂
KAWHI ATE HIS LUNCH 😂😂. Giannis is a little hungry baby, get over it freak... 😂
Who’s back year after Lakers reach the finals
This didn’t age well now did it max...
That 11 minutes of durant in a court when GSW Played against Toronto proved that he's better than kawhi period
Not
JB YOURHIPHOPTv Yeah but now that he’s injured he won’t be the same player. His offense was ahead of Kawhi’s but Kawhi’s defense is ahead of Durant’s.
Kawhi was injured. He was hobbling on one leg when he got off the plane after the Finals. But keep ignoring Kawhi and Lowry playing INJURED and OG not even playing one minute
Its easy when you have the 2 best shooters in NBA history...KD is a walking bucket but he isn't like Kawhi. Imagine losing a 3-1 lead.......then joining that same team. Yiiiiiikes
Thank you! I've been saying the same thing. Preach 🙌
So we’re gonna forget Leonard shot just 43% in the finals and was carried by his team in a few moments mainly that game 6 where his teammates balled out and he was no where to be found. There were so many plays and moments where i thought If that was lebron and not Leonard that series would’ve been over in 4 or 5
Absolutely man. He didn't deserve that final MVP.
Kawhi still dominated (ON BOTH ENDS) at times. Series could have ended in Game 5 after dude scored 10 points in the last 2 minutes. But besides Finals, if you can't consider him as the best after the ENTIRE Playoff run he had then idk what to say. I like Bron, but he's at a point where he caters his team to fit his style. Kawhi showed up to nomansland and motivated tf out of his guys with his play. So with that, I feel like leadership is 100 percent the deciding factor this series. Both guys are happy and have a brand new team that they like. Literally no excuses. Can't fucking wait for this matchup
Nick Duchesne I’m saying, people don’t recognize how insanely deep that raptors squad was
Kawhi averaged 30.5 points & 9 rebounds a game while being the best defender in the entire playoffs. He scored the most on offense and was #1 in defense! And then grabbed his team 9 rebounds a game.
Lebron is a better passer, but Kawhi is better overall
**BREAKING NEWS** 5:05 had me dying 😂
Abbas Akbar hahaha 😂😂
Max still haven't had a drug test yet
He's high every morning
Kurt Go Bangz neither has Lebron
Weed will never be legalized if folks start talking that crazy on TV.
SAS is the one who needs to be tested
I hate this generation of sports🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
yeah they say Patrick is the GOAT already
@@DTB1995 doesn't football do that w tom brady? welcome to the world of 24 hr news
Who's here after Giannis and Kawhi both are out 😂😂
Max is right Kawhi the best player in the world Lebron is 2 Giannis 3
Max is simply biased and filled with dilution with his statements. Let’s see how this season goes smh
If the lakers dont win this season its a shame on all the player. If they win it ain't all about bron. They are stacked af.
@@jasonferrer5882 they arent stacked lol, they are actually very top heavy
@@cachedreamer yeah just keep telling your self that. Look at the first 5 then look at the bench. Then say they are not stacked.
jason ferrer they are not no one team in the nba is stacked any more
@@noahblue569 but they are one of the most stacked team. Just saying facts cause some lbj fans are thinking if they win its all about bron.
I'm a lebron fan and I agree with his point. Let's be fair with the other players. Can't imagine lebron being number 1 while missing playoffs and kawhi being a champion and finals mvp
So no excuses for injuries? But Kawhi gets a pass for beating a team missing its best player?? And one of their sharp shooters?? That doesn’t compute to me.
@@nate8604bro it's 1+1
Lillard not better then PG
Harden not better then Curry
Embiid better then both AD and Jokic
Harden has always been better than Curry, steph just had stacked teams and a better supporting cast
1). Kawhi or Steph
2). Embiid, Giannis, or AD
3). LeBron or Harden
Keep in mind this is current, not all time
1 Kawhi 2 Giannis 3 Harden
Your joking right you do not watch basketball
Giannis can be #1
0:08 look at stephan a eyes
4:15 Stephen A speaking facts 😂😂😂😂😂
Desmond Cokley Stephen is a Lebron cheerleader
Kawhi has been the best player in the NBA since 2014, my boy has always been a winner and he consistently dominates all the Superstars in the NBA.
Thats a lie teams are always stacked KD and Lebron better than Kawhi
What are you smoking bro wow
Kawhi doesn’t need two all stars like KD and Lebron to win a chip, he can actually carry a team on his own and is the best playoff performer of all time.
Harambe ummm didn’t KD beat Kawhi in 2016 🤔
What was he smokin 11 months ago
Imagine thinking they’re 4 guys better and that you would take before Steph Curry in today’s NBA. My god.
it's because he so little. and basically a one way player.
Because is true lol. curry dont even play defense or dunk. LBJ,Kawhi,Durant,Giannis and harden have way more skills than curry
Max is a Kawhi Guy. He definitely likes Kawhi more than Kobe and he's a Lakers fan! 😂
uhh, no, he hates kobe
@@DanikonLUK not true
Because of age and little to no defense LB gotta drop down to Top 5 maybe. But hold up is James Harden defense better than Lebrons
Yes
Stephen A could have been a preacher lol
Dudes act like LeBron ain’t a goat 🐐 in his own right he will be back to that level don’t ever disrespect the king
Why did George Hill player better with Giannis than with LeBron? I can’t completely agree with Stephen A
Because it’s George hill? He’s inconsistent when it comes to skill
Because he actually played in a real system , Lebron’s teams don’t really play in a real system , Lebron had yet showed the ability to play off the ball and that a skill in it self
@@PoohKalonji_97 You clearly didn't watch much basketball before the last few seasons. Just look at his Miami days, and you can see how scary he can be off the ball (not that he did it all the time).
AD over Steph and Jokic?!?! Is this a joke?! ESPN’s so called “analysts” got this wrong AGAIN. What has AD ever done to prove he’s a top 5 player? Top 3 MVP? Nope.
Conference finals? Nope
DeVince DeLowry
So AD wasn’t 3rd in MVP voting in the 2017-2018 season?
Ad is definitely better than joker.
@Joel Johnson this is not a 1 on 1 ranking but a 5 on 5 ranking. Harden and Ad are not top 5 players Curry is at the very least the 3rd best player in basketball ( not including KD)
@Joel Johnson Curry has way more impact on a basketball court than AD , Harden and giannis
@Joel Johnson no hes not why are we even discussing these two?!?! If we asked the people majority of people would definitely SAY curry is better
For real where is durant in top 10
Mj on his 2nd 3peat at lebrons age keep that in mind
00 Taiga
MJ Was 33-34 in 2nd 3peat!!? I forgot
No one literally talks about how Kawhi had more rest than everyone during the regular season.
lol.. also kawhi was injured following the philly series, and still destroyed giannis
No one literally talks about kawhi coming off a season ending injury.. no team wanted him bad enough to give up trades with the spurs other than the raptors..
The man sat out a year due to injury, struggled early in the season, found his grove and went ballistic in the playoffs.
@@user-of1dp6mo6h FACTS! Kawhi was limping all over the court and still managed to get it done. Not one complaint all season. That's a real role model there.
@@sierinlang Preach! Teams were afraid to give up any assets for Kawhi because they didn't know if he would be effective.
ITS OFFICIAL, MAX KELLERMAN IS SKIP BAYLESS 2.0
Vince McMahon I bet you wasn’t hating on him when he was riding Lebron nuts a year ago
@@gloq7297 never said anything about hating on Max, but if it makes you fall asleep better at night XD
Vince McMahon saying he’s skip is implying that’s he’s Lebron hater
I don’t understand how a any player has a good season and everybody wants to put whoever this player is over lebron.. lebron has been the best player in the league since before Kobe retired. How can you even make a statement like that?
I know Jay Williams called in sick today and came here to just read the comments lol
How many yearsss lebron has been number 1 facts no cap
When Lebron left the cavs they became one of the worst teams in the league. When kawhi left Toronto they were still one of the best teams.
1. Kawhi
2. KD
3. Bron
4. Steph
5. Freak
Agreed 100%
This..... is actually great list lol
Kd injured though
I'm with that list
