@ why would I go back and listen when I never said he was right lol… but Mike will go hard asf just like Amin when he thinks he’s right. you don’t have to believe me go back and listen to the HISTORY of the show for just the past decade 😂😂😂😂
Once you curse during a discussion, you lost! Amin lost not by MFing Ryan but because the NBA is a bad product full of players that want to be treated like hollywood actors.
@ mfer was a term of friendship in that matter spoken amongst friends !!! You never jokingly call your pals mfers? Have some fun once in a while if not!!
Actually I think Amin is way over his skies just like Yuyu or whatever his name is. Nobody is going to call them out on their dumb stuff due to the implications. I get it he worked in the front office of an NBA team, yeah is like working for the city or the DMV or public transportation if you get my drift, the city has to just like NBA owners, they have to.
Epic show today. Making baseball talk in december last that long and being fun and engaging is impressive. The perspective on sports with all the guests was delightful. Love all you guys, Merry Christmas!
About the panthers, i live in Kansas and the sprinkling of hockey talk we get from Mike and Roy about the panthers has grown my fandom for the sport in n recent years. Living vicariously through the panthers run the last couple years has been a joy. Putting a spotlight on a talented team is growing the sport's popularity.
Look, I'm not as big a fan of the NBA as I use to be. I still watch big games, but I don't follow the league closely. But I can still appreciate the passion Amin has when he defends the sport. He loves it and it has provided a great deal for him.
Chris you gotta be ready to give your father the Hakeem Nicks laugh, he dropped that “Amin comment” (a mean comment) outta the sky … even Dan was expecting it
My company was purchased by one of those giant mega investment companies (Blackstone), and they sliced out everything joyous about the company Christmas (and for just about anything else too...). Traditionally, it was an off-hours dinner at a nice restaurant, spouses invited, food and adult drinks included. This year, we were treated to an on-site lunch catered by the company cafeteria. No music, no gifts, just trays of meat and veggies, and back to our desks to finish the day. Welcome to corporate hell.
Yeah, it's a workplace you have work to do. Get drunk and act stupid on your own time with your friends, not a bunch of stranger coworkers. The holidays are for friends and family, not Tom in accounts receivable.
Amin was correct when stating the NBA All-Star game new format comes from NHL format but Mike’s dumbass was on the mic telling him he is wrong. Mike deserved that mfer from Amin cause he never shuts up let Amin finish a point. Amin was stating a fact that nba is copying nhl did. Mike was shouting no its a nations cup now 😂. Like Bro you the hockey fan here you know the allstar was round robin tournament in the NHL for half a decade now. Then he wants to do his terrible acting and say that wasnt right to use that word😂
Who cares if the Panthers will be more popular than the Dolphins, they are gonna be the greatest team in the market and pass the Dolphins, Heat & Marlins in overall championships
Amin went full rage with saying motherf**** to Mike Ryan. Dude lost it for a second there because he even knows NBA is not doing good during the regular season.
I thought Mike Ryan handle it as well as you could while also being open about it specially when he said, "he tap me in the back in his way out and no we are not good". I remember when Dan said that Amin "took a leap of faith and left ESPN for us" perhaps, did not know he was on ESPN or how much ESPN needed him as a talent. ESPN let go of Bomani I don't think AMIN was that intricate to their proceedings.
This is the lie people have all started to believe. It's only Embiid, Zion and Kawhi that miss games to that degree. The other problem is that fans seem to think basketball isn't physically taxing, so anytime a guy gets hurt, people act like he doesn't want to play, when they sit bc they can't play. Stars don't actually just sit out games. Giannis, SGA, Luka, Jokic, Tatum play all the games that they can. Mike is painting the entire league with a broad brush because he's tired of Jimmy Butler
Sure my man! his point was an old format of the NHL all stars game. Sure my man the NBA is not losing ratings to diva superstars that are too dumb to understand that the reason they make money is because of fans. No none of that your boy Amin blame not marketing to "influencers" and you think that's why he was right?
@@bebosmetal what makes it "objectively" more fun? how are you measuring fun objectively? i would argue every objective measurement proves NBA is more entertaining (viewers, engagement, revenue, etc).
@@bebosmetal those are opinions. Not objective at all. Saying "I think hockey is more fun" is way different than "it is objectively more fun".....if you think it's more fun, good for you. I do not. I prefer basketball like most people do
The problem with the NBA is the top players don’t connect with the casual fan. There’s a reason Lebron and Steph Curry are still the most talked about players in the league even though we know they clearly aren’t the best anymore. That doesn’t have shit to do with the product. The top players are either foreign or they lack charisma and aura that stars from previous generations had. They basically have a bunch of Tim Duncan’s at the top of the sport. All time greats that people just acknowledge is great. They don’t tune in to root for or against.
Amin needs to stop doing the "Doc Rivers" voice. Doing it once, fine, but this guy doesn't know when to stop. If Amin does something that gets a laugh (or even just attention) he keeps doing it ad nauseam. It's like the grandparent telling the same joke for the millionth time... enough already. Also, how about we don't make fun of the way somebody talks. There are plenty of other legit reasons to make fun of Rivers.
Basketball isn’t terrible. Just that football has become the only sport that Americans are the best at and Americans seem to only want to enjoy Americans being excellent. Basketball is dying because the 4 best players in the sport are foreigners and the next generational talent is going to be another European. Hockey is now a sport dominated by Canadians and baseball by an unprecedented Japanese player
It's OK to not like a sport. But pro basketball is as good as it's ever been. Everyone heard about a shitty Bulls v Hornets game and has "NBA is dead" takes now
The NBA hasn't been watchable in over a decade, "as good as NBA ever been" is a monumental stretch. If you want to watch 10 people take terrible shots just go to your local Basketball Court or YMCA...it's cheaper and those people aren't pretentious

I love the last shot of a sad Santa Roy sitting there on his phone while someone brings up 2 hotwheels cars.
Thank you Amin for getting at Mike the way most of the audience wants to lol l…also love you Mike 😂
Yeah but it would have being nice if Amin was actually right and he wasn't. I understand if you don't beleive me so just go back and watch it again.
@ why would I go back and listen when I never said he was right lol… but Mike will go hard asf just like Amin when he thinks he’s right. you don’t have to believe me go back and listen to the HISTORY of the show for just the past decade 😂😂😂😂
Absolutely the best episode in months!
Thank you Amin for finally putting Mike Ryan in his place and thank you Dan for finally taking back control
Once he called Mike "motherfucker" I was so happy and Mike backed down after that
Once you curse during a discussion, you lost! Amin lost not by MFing Ryan but because the NBA is a bad product full of players that want to be treated like hollywood actors.
@ mfer was a term of friendship in that matter spoken amongst friends !!! You never jokingly call your pals mfers? Have some fun once in a while if not!!
Amin's to an end was casually overlooked.
Actually I think Amin is way over his skies just like Yuyu or whatever his name is. Nobody is going to call them out on their dumb stuff due to the implications.

This is an all-tme show in Lebatard + Stugot show history. EPIC.
OG crew is ALWAYS a welcome sight. Love Y'all, man. Happy Greg Cote Wednesday 🎉🎉🎉
Vintage Le Batard Show today with the final segment
This was EASILY the 7 Fishes episode of The Bear Lebatard edition 😂😂 Amin's blowup and Turturo
Billy not being involved in that convo was disappointing. I think he probably felt, ‘this is enough chaos’
Chris you gotta be ready to give your father the Hakeem Nicks laugh, he dropped that “Amin comment” (a mean comment) outta the sky … even Dan was expecting it
Greg shot a buzzer beater with that "Amin Comment" 😂.
Please also donate gift cards. Older kids are almost always left out during gift drives.

I like Dan being an agent of chaos for a Change.
I CANT STOP LAUGHING NO CONTROL 😂😂😂😂
Can’t wait for “IT’S PERSONAL!!!!!!! with Nick Turturro”
Can't wait for episode 2 of "See Ya Later, Nick. Take it Easy, David" 😂😂😂
David and Nic need their own show.
1:28:41 somebody had to bookmark the moment 😂
Nick Turturro is a 🐐
All time show
Mike Ryan wearing the clean white Tee like it’s 2001.
Maybe where you are or maybe you're just out of touch lol
@ Not sure what u talking about. Early 2000’s style, looking clean in my white tee was a song & a style. I get the show & I live in the south.
Billy’s “Bobby Q” lmaooo!!! Come on ! Goated
Poor Mike got called a mf by his friend in a sports debate 😪😪😪😪 what a weird reaction to cry about that
Right?😂
"Dave Hyde's written 4 books?"
Never change, Billy
Stepping on Greg’s joke
Greg Cote, an incredible wrapper? Yes Dan, he is a part of Wu Tang Clan!!
They missed out on this joke earlier. Shame

God forbid Amin use company money to actually cover a sport
He should’ve used it to interview Mojo instead of
He is using company money to be employed 🤣🤣🤣
2:19:05 the moment they reveal Kay and Brucie to be listening to Samsons movie review while gregg finishes a 45 min present wrap is hilarious
NBA ratings are down because of terrible local TV contracts. Casual fans have barely any access at a local level
Actually they're said to be down because most people don't watch on tv & aren't counted 😉
@ True
So glad Amin shut Mike Ryan up for a change 👏🏾👏🏾
Mike was right....NBA sucks ass
@ yeah I agree. NBA has sucked for YEARS. But I’m just glad someone finally got Mike Ryan to shut up and back away from the mic.
TOY FOR TOY!!! TOY FOR TOY!!! TOY FOR TOY!!!!
There's a big hockey heat wave going on out here in SLC with us getting an NHL team...
I just hope they don't end up being called the Utah Yeti
@@Born2BDown1981
Me too...heard something about them having issues with copyrights for it with the Yeti cup/bottle company, so we'll see.
Props to Mike for his take on how the NHL is far more entertaining to watch than the NBA right now
Who else has a throat guy in sports? I’ll start…Mike Glennon.
Greg really was sabotaged with that curve shaped box.
What show today. !!! Salute to you guys my god pal
Dan’s gay and racist jokes weren’t funny, I get the show but that was uncomfortably weird….
He’s been a little off on funny lately. Mike Ryan almost seems exhausted trying to redirect him all the time
Those jokes are cool now to say in the US....don't be woke man,😏😏😏
@@michaelyakubek6997 just cuz they’re cool doesn’t mean they’re funny. Goofy ass boy
NHL and NBA regular seasons are both a tough watch. Amin sounds like Mike 2.0
Why did Amin get a victory lap ?
he picked the Thunder
2:18:45 Classic Suey Nominee
This is how we used to do 'Best Song'
Who is Rudy Martinez? Lol😅
much love Amin but basketball is hard to watch these days until about April or May
NBA is unwatchable.
In your humble opinion lol
Love Nick Tuturro
Who cares if the Panthers will be more popular than the Dolphins, they are gonna be the greatest team in the market and pass the Dolphins, Heat & Marlins in overall championships
Amin went full rage with saying motherf**** to Mike Ryan. Dude lost it for a second there because he even knows NBA is not doing good during the regular season.
Bring Nick back!
Amin.

Sorry Amin. Basketball, Phobe.
The NBA is a star driven game. Why would I buy tickets to a game if it's unlikely I'll see the players people care about
This is the lie people have all started to believe. It's only Embiid, Zion and Kawhi that miss games to that degree.

Because you support your local sports team?
As a Knicks fan. Less minutes doesn't sound so bad.
@@sixthorder He has such a lazy take that everyone is saying when it's like 3 people, all who have injuries, had surgery, or need surgery
Amin moving to hide the bald spot 9:40
🙄
Football is super popular. That is why the Dolphins will always own this area. When the Panthers suck again...no one will watch
Let’s go Yankees!
Izzy has a throat guy too
Amin was right in his point. Delivery could have been better.
No. Amin is wrong every fucking time he opens his mouth.
Basketball Gluck Gluck lol
He was right about everything he said, but, the "Muthafu🤬r" could've been left out of his rant.
Sure my man! his point was an old format of the NHL all stars game.

Less Mike please.
You shush it
Please Mike put the phone call from jail, "How's his hips?" In the next supercut. Please.

NBA viewership is 4-5 times that of NHL, if the Heat were good, Mike would have none of these trash takes
Yeah, but hockey is objectively way more fun. And the players aren't drastically overpaid crybabies.
@@bebosmetal what makes it "objectively" more fun? how are you measuring fun objectively? i would argue every objective measurement proves NBA is more entertaining (viewers, engagement, revenue, etc).

I hate Mike Ryan so much man. It's been years lol. I thought he was leaving!!!!????

Year's winding down. Have all the outstanding fines been paid? Looking at you, Luce 🧐
Heat four game win streak come back diwn 16 with 6 minutes to Force over time. Averaging 120 pts. So booooring. They lost by 1 pt. Oh no its all over.
Mike likes those strong white men in skates
Not those soft black basketball players.
Michael Kay suey laugh nominee 2:06:25
Dan doesn't shut his mouth anymore. All time yapper
Wow, first of all hell of a show! And Wow again Amin got offended there a little bit and than MF and "Ruiz" got offended, hell of show!
The Miami heatles ruined basketball with no dunk contest lebron. Alas the show finds its eureka moment. NHL is the superior product no doubt
No one gives af about hockey if you don't have a hockey team in your town
Mike’s shirts are always too big.
Wtf are you talking about 🙄
Hey Amin, the nba sucks right now. Take the L
Its because your gay 😂😂😂

Amino is nearly as annoying as another one of the mroe recent guys on the show. But at least no painted nails.
Mike v Amin 10-7 round. You know you’ve lost when you gotta eye poke to make your point 😂
As someone who gets the show, amins gotta go.
So stuck on what was not being said!
15 year listener but when are they gonna learn that Amin makes the show worse. He’s good on other shows but not this one.
On air argument between Mike and Amin? EAR POISON!
Happy for the Panthers, I still don't care about hockey 😂
I love all the little NBA fanboys getting a taste of the way the show talks baseball. Dying sport! Hockey is better! FREAK OUT!
Props to Mike for handling that the way he did because I would have not have reacted well if a co-worker called me a mother fucker like that
