Who is greatest leader in sports in the last 25 years?
Deez nuts
Tim Duncan hands down!
ESPN Nope!!!
Duncan
Tim Duncan
A New York yankee getting a standing ovation in his last game at Fenway park says all it needs to about Derek Jeter.
Waiting to get married and have children until after you’re retired has got to be one of the smartest things a male athlete can do.
Naw finding the right one before you're anything would be ideal.
Diego Lopez he’s untouchable
@@darrius7974 Why you say that?
@@ninevick35aimcom then you wouldn't have that thought are they with me because of the money and fame
that can go either way. I'd say the rule is not finding the hottest or the richest woman to marry, but a woman with class and strong morals and loyalty. I'd value all three of those above looks or money.
"Derek Jeter was in no controversies what so ever"
Alex Rodriguez has left the chat.
To be fair that was alex...Jeter avoided controversy with him constantly, even though he (arod) kept talking a bit too much
@MANCHESTER UNITED um why are you even mentioning that right now. Besides, people tend to watch more than one sport. I watch baseball, soccer, American football and basketball. Let people enjoy what they want it's not harming you.
Hearing Stephen A. Smith saying "El Capitan" is the best thing ever 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Molly gotta chill with the interrupting
Bryan she’s been like that for a year or so 🙄🤦🏽♂️
Michael Canty
Soulja Boy: A yeeeaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr????
The females always seem to do that... kinda drowned out by the men speaking. It's funny to me but I'm happy to see them get involved, sports are awesome.
We’ve been saying that for about 5 years now. She ain’t gonna chill 🤷🏾♂️
And Kellerman's a douche. Stephen A #1 owns ESPN
Why's Clark dressed like he's going to the playboy mansion
Kevin Cannon I don’t know but I need that jacket ASAP
Lookin fire
Biggest Kobe fan but Derek on another level when it comes to leadership. He never quit on his team once. Derek is the greatest leader because many times he wasn't the best player on his team and all those guys still followed him.
Kobe is a close second to Jeter. People don't realize how difficult it is to win an NBA title with the Lakers. Yes they have won 17 but the spotlight is so intense it will shrink most players. Tim Duncan had it easy playing for the Spurs, that is why Kobe was a better leader. Same with Jeter. Winning five titles with the Yankees under that intense spotlight is incredible. DJ and Kobe are 1 and 1A.
@@deanzachariades6365 LMAO WHAT. Kobe Bryant a LEADER!??!?!? NOBODY wanted to play with Kobe! This is the same dude that told Smush Parker not to talk to him cause he's not on his level. The same dude that publicly called Shaq fat. The same dude that gave up in a GAME 7 against the Suns to show the media that he needs to stop passing the ball...THATS A LEADER?!?!?! Tim Duncan had great supporting cast and an all time great coach. Kobe had that too. Phil even said in his book he demanded Kobe be traded cause he doesn't listen to anybody or run the plays that are called. That's a leader?!?!?!? LMAO
Nobody:
*Sees Ryan Clark and jay williams talking about baseball
Amen, they both admitted that they didn’t even watch baseball until they became commentators.
Thank you.
You mean Ryan Clark, Jay Williams, Stephan A Smith, Max Kellerman, and Molly the Interruptor right? Baseball is none of these people’s specialty 🤷🏾♂️
Dawson Baker we’ve had great black ball players in the game and it’s a shame the non interest in watching or playing baseball.
He could be in the HOF just because of his reputation with women
Joao Ferreira 😂😂😂🤣 Facts
Joao Ferreira true true true man
@Niko Gambino yeah he did give that herp dawg out to a chick lol
Dude we all have herpes
The Jeter dating diamond is insane 😭
Molly's know everything about everyone outside sports.
There's a place for her TMZ
25 years ago was 1995. Michael Jordan had a three-peat and a 72 win season post-1995. I think he should be in the conversation.
He clearly is. Bill Russell, Magic and Bird as well in Basketball. Jeter, Mattingly and many others in baseball. But it's time to talk about Jeter, so I have no problem with them pointing out how Jeter managed to keep his nose clean for 20 years. He had the intelligence to, for example, wait to get married until he wasn't on the road all the time. His parents should get a lot of the credit, just as Aaron Judge's parents seem to have done a good job.
As the GOAT, sure. As a leader I’m not to comfortable on that because really anyone with a big enough stick can be called the leader by simpletons but true leadership isn’t just being the best player.
But Houston pulled off the b2b in ‘94 and ‘95?
MJ’s leadership has definitely come into question, especially with the Last Dance coming out. Jeter’s leadership was unquestioned
MJ WAS NEVER A LEADER. NEVER, EVER IN HIS CAREER. HE IS THE GOAT BUT WAS A VERY TOXIC TEAMMATE.
Molly should just never talk
Big Ballers Most of the commenters are just as bad or worse.
And Kellerman's a douche. Stephen A #1 owns ESPN
Replace Molly with a hot chick that knows sports or keeps her mouth shut
Evan Martin facts
Nobody:
Absolutely Nobody:
Stephen A: We get all of dat
Jeter had an unbelievable magical career. 5 world series, he was clutch, he was the Captain.
Watching Jeter since 96, some of my first and best memories, like many others, will be the purest sports moments I'll see in my lifetime and I'm very thankful to Mr.Jeter.
LMAO Jay said Kobe... Me and my brother legit looked at each other and laughed... And he's a loves Kobe...
jay one of them people that answer any sports question with kobe or michael jordan
Bruh I can't stand Jay. Kobe really? Kobe my man and I don't know a bunch about basketball but definitely Tim Duncan above D Wade
They cut it off soon as he was finna go in 😂😂😂
@@darrius7974 Tim Duncan is a better leader over kobe
One Kxng Kobe was a awesome leader
I'm a Laker Fan but can't put Kobe here for leadership he was a good leader but not on the level of Jeter Brady Duncan & them
I love Kobe Bryant but I wouldn't say he's one of the great leaders. Like Max said Tim Ducan is considered a better leader than Kobe was.
Eric Tecxidor exactly. Kobe was an amazing competitor. Maybe too good, as that mentality caused certain players to not want to play with him. No one can say a bad thing about Jeter. They called him Mr. Baseball for gods sake.
@@Periodik Agreed! Kobe became a great leader later on but was still a great player and a phenomenal talent. Jeter was a great leader too who rarely got into problems (that we know of) with teammates.
The fact that Jay Williams said this about Kobe Bryant before his passing....🤞🏽💪🏽 he epitomizes the term “give them their flowers while they’re here” Much appreciated Jay Will. Coming from a true sports fan, a true Kobe fan
I hate the Yankees, but absolute RE2PECT to the captain.
These guys will probably change their mind next week and say the best leader is LeBron or Brady though haha
These debates are always interesting. I started a sports channel hoping to make high quality videos about stuff like this! Love the conversation
Never happen! They're native New Yorkers--they're special in ways the rest of us will never know! Ask them--they'll tell you!
LeBron?
I'm more bizarre, I love the Yankees, the Red Sox, the Dodgers and the Giants all at the same time
The overblown reaction to get not being named unanimous is embarrassing. Yes, Jeter is great, we all know that, but don't we all agree that Nolan Ryan and Griffey Jr. also should have been unanimous? The voting has been consistent. I went OFF on this on my channel today. 🙄
Splash'n'Skillz #37 well congratulations you’re the most bandwagon person in the world
1:39 Me every time I watch this show!!
😂😂 molly, molly!
Lolol
It’s a lot harder being a leader of all stars and people who come in already with success. Jeter had the respect of all those players who came to play for NY when he played
The fact that Ray Lewis isn't on this list is BLASPHEMOUS
I hope this guy ain't serious
😂😂😂
Wilfred Rodriguez ??? Why he’s right
Yeah it KILLS me he's not in this list ....lol
Dewane H boring joke
That’s number 1. Now number 2’😂😂 NEVER GETS OLD
That monthly baseball topic on first take lmao
jeet more like quarterly
NOBODY :
SAS : "EL CAPITAN"
Tim Duncan, Ray Lewis, Payton Manning, and Tom Brady
Not Duncan. Popovich was always the leader and Duncan was always lead.
All those guys you mentioned were better players BUT NOT a better leader. Played in the biggest market NYC in the world and had zero controversy while winning being clutch
Kobe and Lebron as well
@@MrGenexxx then Coach K is the best leader
Yeah and none of them played in NY. There's a different type of light when playing in NEW YORK!
SASs EL CAP-EE-TAN is as classic as his STAY OFF DAH WEEEEEEDD!!! 😂😂😂
Max gets fired up talking about Jeter and the Yankees and I love it 🔥🔥🔥🔥
"he is the greatest leader in sports"
*Proceeds to watch only 3 sports*
😂😂

Johnny b Goode sorry its not our fault if those sports aren't popular here if you want to hear about them sub to there TH-cam channels watch there shows
@@Stonecoldalston I'm sorry did Stephen A say "jeter is the best leader in popular sports in america" cuz I feel like I miss that part..
you could just say Jeter is the best leader in baseball but saying he is the best in general is a whole different context.
Grant Mitchell no just because we don't like them i like to watch a few sports I'm not good at bit if we don't like soccer we don't like It
Derek Jeter in my opinion is the best to ever play the game. And it was a treat to watch him play in person at Yankee games.
Omg you shouldn’t even be talking baseball with nonsense like that!!!🤦🏿♂️
Mr. November!!!!
Mario Lemieux formerly the leader of the Pittsburgh Penguins NHL team. Solid as a rock!
*American sports
Francesco Totti⚽️ agree?
Lord of Laziness 777 Puyol and Roy Keane we’re great aswell
@@senya-4744 Totti, Puyol definitely come to mind.
Zinedin Hadzajlija maldini, puyol, keane, and sergio ramos are the greatest captains ever! in terms of leaders.. celtics scott brown is a great leader and great captain.. maybe not for accomplishments and the better player.
(3 Sports)
As a life long Mets fan (yeah yeah I know) I've tipped my cap to Jeter over and over again. a true leader for 162 + games a year over the course of 6-7 months , that's more than half a year with your teammates and he never faltered on that leadership role. Oh and doing so for the Yankees which even if you're 9th in the lineup you still have a spotlight on yourself.
# 2 is MJ #3 Popovich #4 Tom Brady/Bill Belichick.
Stephen ' we get all of this ' A Smith
"WE GET ALL THAT"
Good for him. Even as a Red Sox fan, nothing but respect!
Tom Brady is above and beyond LeBron, Jeter, Kobe, all those guys. Tom Brady is actually an anomaly, a once in a billion type of person.
Max going with his full "Puberty voice" yet again, like every time he's excited lol
I love Kobe but no..he took way too long to become the great leader that he eventually was
Artie Krivopal Shaq started the whole beef with Kobe Bc of his jealousy. He was even like that with Penny as well
He was never a leader lmao, a leader by example maybe
Duncan was more of a leader in the last 25 years.
To me him and Jeter are my idols they represented class and hard work
@Artie Krivopal yup. DJ and A-Rod didn't get along but for the sake of winning and the franchise, DJ made it work.
This dude Jay Will said Kobe Bryant 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Of course he did 😂
Rodderick Garland Why was he sitting at the table? He contributed nothing but deferring the topic because he doesn’t understand baseball. 😂
Jeter was a great leader but a bit overrated as a player because the media deified him like he was God and had a perfect game. He wasn't. He wasn't on the level as Ken Griffey Jr or Bonds but he was a great player.
Jason Young bonds was on a hall of fame trajectory before using roids
Griffey didn’t have longevity so I’d say him and jeter were close but bonds is the greatest baseball player ever.
Bonds was great but he was on the juice. Not taking anything away from his talent but i know he would not be on the supreme level that he was on without the juice. Griffey was natural and you saw how great he was naturally. Imagine if griffey was juicing... he would be on an insane level of greatness.
The NY guys say Jeter, the football guy says Brady, the basketball guy says Kobe. Hmm.
Bro, what is that word Stephen A says at 1:16? "Yuzztasay" 😅
Richie McCaw of the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team played 110 test matches, 97 wins, 11 losses and 2 draws. Thats along with winning two rugby world cups
american sports***
thank you
In sports in general is who?
Pretty sure on the UK channel they would only mention ⚽️ and 🏏 players. So perfectly balanced.
Cormel the channel’s shouldnt even be separate and i feel like SAS needs to be educated on it more because i know max knows his stuff on those sports. i feel like theyd introduce a new audience if it was discussed more often.
Brian N
True but you know they’re not gonna understand wth is going on when it comes to anything other than America’s big 3. And fans would end up getting angry at them for that, they might as well just bring analysts from other sports on set.
I'm sorry SAS, but El Capitan is a racetrack in Gran Turismo 4... XD
This man probably never heard of Roy Keane
Eyob Andom derek jeter dreams of lacing Roy Keane’s boots on that night in Turin
For real! Keane the man.
Roy Keane isn't even the greatest utd captain ever. You heard of Bryan Robson?
Roy keane was a better player than he was a leader
wack it said past 25 years
Lol I’m so surprised their daddy Lebron wasn’t in this topic 🤣
Even LeESPN knows he don't belong in this debate 😂😂😂
Best comment of the day
Antonio Brown worst teammate in sports in the last 25 years.
Kyrie Irving is close too
Delonte west gets the award
@@AssassinKing30 naww
@@AssassinKing30James harden got him beat for 2nd isn't even close and I am not even a basketball fan. Every time I listen always something comes up with Harden
Nothing like listening to the riveting baseball analysis of 2 guys in Ryan Clark and Jay Williams whom I’d be very comfortable guessing combined have likely watched less than 15 Yankee games during Jeters 20 yrs. remember when ESPN used to be good at this sports coverage thing? 🤦🏼♂️
They’re different types of leaders so it depends on what you personally value in a leader that will determine your answer
not sure how much leading responsibilities a short stop has on a pitcher. lol
A pitcher plays once every 5 games, seldomly plays the entire game, and is not expected to produce with a bat (not at all in the AL), so I'd say the key piece to your infield defense and part of your lineup would have far more leadership responsibilities.
@@BucketsBayBay your comment took a wrong turn. I'm not saying a pitcher is more of a leader. I'm saying a short stop has 0 impact on a pitcher whom is 1 of if not the most important aspects of the game.
@@GreatestManAlive Oh, I see what you mean now. I thought you were implying a pitcher has more of a leadership impact than a SS.
I grew up with jeter but i kinda agree with ryan.tom brady just has so much more influence and literally has to lead his team. Jeter and brady,legendd
I have never liked the Yankees (being a lifelong Cardinals fan and native of the STL); however, DEREK JETER (based on the time frame given) IS the greatest leader over that span. What separates "The Captain" from anyone else that comes to mind (i.e. Tom Brady) is that he played his entire career with no controversy attached to him. He remained consistent through ownership and management changes (nearly 3500 hits, 5 World Series titles (including one three peat) in 6 appearances. Currently, the man holds MLB postseason records for games played (158), plate appearances (734), at-bats (650), hits (200), singles (143), doubles (32), triples (5), runs scored (111), total bases (302) and he did this when steroids was a major issue. His name was never attached to any controversy. It's not Brady, it's Derek Jeter and he should have went in unanimously, like his teammate Mariano Rivera did last year and how Ken Griffey, Jr. should have been unanimous as well.
Smartest comment I've read today. As a yankee fan I may sound biased but Jeter navigated the New York media market without ever having a problem with them. No teammate of his can say he was anything but the best leader. Never acted selfish. I agree Griffey should have been a unanimous choice. Without injuries, Griffey would have shattered records. Sweetest swing in baseball.
Love how max and Stephen being Yankees fan they said Jeter was the better leader, then you have Williams (basketball guy) saying kobe and Clarke (football guy) says Brady😂😂😂
Best Jeter story was he told Bush after 9/11 "Mr. President, they'll boo you if you don't throw it from the top of the mound." and Shepard called it STRrr-IKE!
It's of the extremest rarity in professional sports that u have men - not just that on the field, but who r also the definition of a gentlemen off the field! Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera are in that extremest of rarity, mind-boggling that they played together for the same franchise! Not one epitome of a role model, but two! There are more than many who should very well take a cue from these two about how to conduct yourself! It's great having game, but when it comes to real life, your image stands out over all!
Watching this in the COVID era is giving me insane heebeejeebies, PERSONAL SPACE PEOPLE
Ryan Clark: small market teams can’t compete.
2001 Diamondbacks: hold my beer
2001. there's always that team that comes around once in awhile
Way to mention a team no one remembers
They should talk about baseball more Max’s intensity is awesome
“small market teams can’t compete with the Yankees”.
The Rays said hi.
They did my man Jay dirty. I mean, you end the video as he started talking about kobe bryant... come on ESPN, you can do better.
He was soooo clutch
Last time I checked there was a guy called Michael jordan that played around that time.
The guy in the red jacket tried putting Jeter under the bus BUT NOPE! Jeter has no dirty while playing MLB
They have never heard of sir Alex Ferguson
Never liked the Yankees but I have great respect for jeter
Did he just say Kobe ahead of Jeter 🤦♂️
1:00 AKA The Third Rome
MAJOR FACTS!!!!!
A guy from Boston was that vote lol.
The problem with this show is no hockey. Toews and Crosby have to be in this conversation
Tim Duncan: 😐
The fact Lebron's name doesn't even get brought up once despite his pic being on the screen the whole time is priceless
why do they say in sports? why not simply american sports? american sporst media and their self centered vision
The one thing that sets him apart from everybody they where talking about jeter was consistent his whole career post or regular season end of story
Preach Steven A.!
Finally he says something right
Jeter's so great he can make Stephen A. & Max agree
I wasn’t even thinking about what Kobe but jay is definitely not wrong. Respect his opinion a lot now that he brings that up
All I'm going to say is JETER he always led by example on and off the field
Yankees cried about the supposed Astros signals scandal and asking to strip their ws championship so they must be stripped off all their 5 rings
since 1995? uhhh mario lemieux. sidney crosby, jonathan toews, joe sakic. those are my captains folks.
AND THEY DONT GIVE THE DUDE 100% ! THERES ALWAYS HAS TO BE 1 NO MATTER WHAT !!!
That last dude killed it in the end. Kobe Bryant. Umm he had Maj controversy with his wife. Come on man Bryant not in the leaver of leadership as El capitán nor Brady. Theres levels to this. Levels.
He was only 25 in 2000 and Yankees had won 4 titles. He was youngest guy on team and not the leader. He bovines capt and only wins 1 title in next 20 yrs. While being over the cap every year with a bomb squad. Every yr
Is the right field Brewer comment a slam on Milwaukee where Yelich is the right fielder? Interesting.
They tried to hide that Kobe credit!!!! KB#24 6:28
Yzerman has gotta be in there
Get out of here no one came close to jeter, 20 seasons, elite team, highest pressure, completely composed
Tim Duncan is easily the best leader in sports and it's not even close..
Ray Lewis? Greg Popovich
Jeter never cheated. I love the Kobe reference in the end
Forgem Nos this is why SAS point on no controversy is key. Brandy is the only one in the timeframe with as much success. And Brady has almost as many cheating scandals as he does rings. Not so with Jeter
The overblown reaction to get not being named unanimous is embarrassing. Yes, Jeter is great, we all know that, but don't we all agree that Nolan Ryan and Griffey Jr. also should have been unanimous? The voting has been consistent. I went OFF on this on my channel today. 🙄
Richie McCaw.
Note to ESPN sport exists outside the main US sports.
Derek Jeter and the Yanks were MULTIPLE Championship Winners before Arod joined the Team...Arod also never even came close to the BIG moments Jeter had on the Yanks..."Jeter was not even best player on his own team" arguement is a very silly one
Please tell him to make the marlins good 😭
When max started talking about positions and how basically positions are best on your fielding skills it was jus all cap
How? Outfielders left and right are your speedy guys normally cf is usually a power slugger same with third and first their meant to eradicate the ball not win golden gloves ur second baseman and your shortstop are speed toolshed guys who can hit hrs and get on base and are almost always your best gloves on the field… for you to say that makes me think you do not know baseball…
@@devinrochon718 THE CORNERS ARE SPEEDY GUYS AND CENTER IS POWER OKAY LOL I DONT KNOW BASEBALL HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
@@devinrochon718 and second basemen are fast with quick hands not the best fielder you just so wrong idk where to begin
@@AkimboSledgeHammer I did say normally btw judge is a huge exception power left fielder for an example but look at history the majority of power hitters are CF 1B and 3B yes they had decent gloves even some amazing but overall ur SS is ur toolshed guy who is really good at getting on base and is a stud in the field, your second baseman again is a toolshed guy hits some homer’s gets on base a lot and is normally a speed guy THATS ALMOST ALWAYS THE FORMULA FOR BASEBALL 1st and 3rd are normally slow power hitters third base almost always has a cannon that’s the formula has been for over 60 years look at every roster from 1960 to today and you’ll see that trend the majority of the time
@@devinrochon718 i aint reading that i play ball at a high level lol idk why im even tryna argue lol
