Man....Stephen A in this format is absolutely hilarious and entertaining. I watch this more than First Take now
ESPN watching closely. Cuz Stephen A about to get bigger than them
He’s really good by himself. Reminds me of the MARTIN SHOW’S first season when MARTIN talks on air before every show. 😂
@@selvaganapathy2391 didn't he say they about to release him or something
@@selvaganapathy2391Yea it kinda reminds me of how Shannon Sharpe has his own podcast and has left undisputed now
He ain't shy either. ESPN too restrictive
Tatum by no means deserves a no trade clause, I saw that man put on Harry Potter's black cloak of invisibility far too often when it matters
Facts 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i saw him drop a 4/18 shooting to often 🤣🤣
Nah dude is super young to have all those accolades Stephen A Smith mentioned. You a fool to let him walk with all that he's done so far and he'll play for another 10 years.
I agree
😂😂😂😂😂😂 harry potter reference A+ 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@CE4Ever I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and I thought that definitely fit Tatum who I have no idea why he gets all the praise he gets when all I see is a guy who's way too hit or miss
Ppl really do forget, Steph Curry is #1 All Time in Free Throw Pct and #5 All Time in True Shooting Pct, as well as the #1 in 3ptrs made and taken (#11 all time in 3pt pct, #4 among active players). He is the best shooter. By far the greatest off ball player. And still the most entertaining player at 35.
And the greatest shooter GOOOWWDDDD ever created 😂😂
He’s pretty good
Greatest off ball player...yet some people claim he's a PG.
@@12savage68he can’t be PG and play off ball sometimes lmao? Foh
& I don't think people give enough credit to how much he makes every single one of teammates just by his presence alone. His off-ball presence alone is something that of a black hole, he just draws defenders in, and like Reggie, he runs defender ragged. At 6'2 MAX, he is the p4p king in the history of the game... & without a doubt, must see.
I can’t give Tatum a no trade Clause that’s just me
Thats why ur not a gm brother
As long as Luka Doncic exists no way Tatum deserves a NTC
@@Frank-nz1wrand neither are you BROTHER
@@Frank-nz1wr that's why you will never be one... Tatum jive sorry
@@RadiantandDireno way Celtics trade Tatum for ( no play in ) Luka.... 😂
The only players that deserve a no trade clause is Steph, LeBron Giannis and Jokic, there’s nobody else
agreed. the guys that got it done for their drafted teams. lebron may have left Cleveland but he came back and got one for them
I agree with your list. I definitely can’t give Jason Tatum a no trade, yet.
100% Tatum not belong to that category!!!
Kd
Add kd then I’ll agree
The way he talks bout Miami being a distraction 😂😂😂😂😂😂
im dyin at that part rn 😂
12:08 “the greatest shooter GAAAWD has ever created” always gets me 😂😂
We gonna miss Stephen A when he’s gone. He killed this segment. He makes a fairly mundane segment about a topic you weren’t asking for extremely informative and entertaining.
He can go off on his channel with facts.
I'm not he can go
Way to go Stephen A! Steph Curry is hard to beat as a team ambassador.
He killed my interest in sports
Espn used to be fun, now it's a woke opinion vs opinion nightmare of a place
Disney ruined sports
America sucks at basketball as well now, only a matter of time before the dream team is getting smoked on the world stage.
love him or hate him there's no denying that this guy is broadcasting gold lol
That's why Disney/ESPN is making the Job cuts Stephen A Smith job is safe
he is the WORST EVER
He just like everyone else, he switch sides like a woman switches purses.
Curry’s the most influential player. He has everybody shooting threes first.
I love when media people are like "I mean no disrespect" and then proceed to say something extremely disrespectful.
I mean… it works 🤷🏽♂️
I could care less if he disrespects some athlete. The culture is way too caught up in the whole respect/disrespect crap.
That's the literal reason for the turn of phrase...you wouldn't say it unless it preceded something that would be typically seen as disrespectful.
@@HighPlainsDrifter53 What culture? You're never going to control what anyone else does buddy.
@@HighPlainsDrifter53 Basketball culture or sports in general?
U should be with Steph at his hall of Fame speech 🤣🤣
Steph and LBJ are obviously different than everybody else
Man this channel is growing super fast, you deserve it Stephen a.
He dont deserve nothing he dont know what he be talkn about. If he think them scurbs he named better then luka he need to be fired for Shannon sharp
omg, he deserves to loose his voice and go bye-bye...
@@supamario3442 Everyone he mentioned bar tatum won a league mvp, finals mvp and championship lmao. Can't say the same for Luka yet.
@@moeski17 why every year coming into the season luka always the favorite to win mvp? That should tell u he better then them. And for as championships for the last 10yr it been stacked teams vs sorry teams so how much credit are u giving them bums? the last person that beat a decent team was lebron vs gs but LJ way too old to be saying he better then luka.
@@supamario3442 yeah, he's the favorite until he's not 😂 just like plenty other players lol. How is that even a point man? Being favorite and not winning doesn't mean shit. And how is playing against a sorry team in the finals the winning team's fault? You play to win, simple as. These extra narratives are driven by shows like First Take 😂. In no world is Luka better than Jokic/Giannis right now or in the last 3 seasons. His time will come hopefully.
i would be willing to bet dallas would give LUKA no trade in a blink of a eye.
As far as his opinion on Steph being the greatest shooter ever, he’s right, I watched basketball during the Reggie Miller era. No disrespect to those who came before. But Curry cooked everyone, hence why he’s the all time leading three shooter.
Facts 💯
yup
Yeah when you shoot the most threes you'll get the record eventually. Miller took better shots, Steph was a chucker for awhile
In a lot of ways steph is a chucker. The shots he takes would bench most players. Only difference is that when steph chucks, he makes it at a high percentage. Its almost like when he looses the ball, he has a higher chance to make it after that than taking the wide open shot.
"The greatest shooter... GAWD!! ever created" 💀💀💀💀
I love how every time Stephen A. compliments Lebron James, he has to remind us that he’s no Jordan. Just give the man his flowers without mentioning Jordan. It’s almost like a bad handed compliment.
Well cause his damn fans can’t stop comparing him to mj and says his better.
Yeah we have enough Bronsexuals in the world.
Exactly!
He called him the 2nd best player ever the entire time. Even if you think he's the GOAT instead of MJ, that's the greatest back handed compliment ever
Couldn’t have been said no better
Gotta add Luka and Embid to this list if Tatum is on it
Hell no they won nothing
@@Jayoplantern Neither has Tatum
Embiid has no excuse but Luka is playing with paperclips you expect him to achieve anything with that roster and Front office.
Embiid? 💀
If Stephen A is saying that Luka and Embiid are somehow flawed in their psychology by omitting them, then maybe he has a point. Something is off with both of them.
LUKA DONCIC IS LIKE AIGHT COOL YALL MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN QUICKLY!!!💀💀💀
This podcast is getting better and better
Devon Booker, Kevin Durant, Luka Donic just a few from me imo.
I be dying when SAS get to whispering. 😂😂😂
I really like this format for Stephen A.
His voice when he talked about Miami was creepily, hilarious 🤣
Don't tell me Stephen A Smith out here trickin in Miami 😂😂😂
All of these “celebrity” guys are and that’s why so many get caught up.
People forget to mention that Steph also the all time leader in free throw percentage lol. It really doesn’t matter
Stephen A always with the backhanded compliments with LeBron 😂
what's CRAZY is that beal is the only player currently in the league with a no trade clause
Only players who’s gotten their team a ring should have a no trade clause obviously because they’re proven.
Is it me or does Stephen A look like Ludacris if you really focus 🤭 ... and where's Damian Lillard when it comes to no trade clauses Stephen A ?!?!?!
Steph Curry is number 1 on his list though.
Nice podcast. Touching every topic relevant.
Excellent explanation! Love this show. Real deal! Subscribed
Love me some Stephen A. Smith. Lord knows he talks too damn much sometimes with those astronomical words but this one was needed. 👏👏👏 Great Take Legend 🏆
Astronomical words? What are you in middle school? He's a journalist so of course he has a more expansive vernacular than most but he doesn't use any obtuse words just for the sake of it. I think you may just be low IQ homie
Luka, Jokic, Curry, Tatum, Giannis
Those Curry examples had me gone 💀💀💀
"His presence alone brings revenue". Is so true. LeBron had his shares of fans and haters, and both go to his games to watch him play, whether to cheer or hate. And that's value
Stephen you a real one, keep it up my brother 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Stephen A Smith loves Miami! 😂😂😂
I think if you get drafted to a bad team and you perform well and resign there when they’re still bad you deserve that NTC off loyalty alone. They shouldn’t be able to send you wherever they want to benefit the team and end up in a worse position.
Does Damien Lillard has a NTC?
Replace Tatum with KD, then it's more accurate. 👍
i am so glad you do this show.
This is amazing.
I'm so glad u don't do a show
The new rules this year regarding cap space and trades etc, are going to make "Big Threes" a thing of the past. This happena to be just what the NBA needs, and lets be honest, most of them folded like Stephen A's suits anyway.
Yeah they suck. If they win who cares, and more often they just don't anyway.
Yep I agree!
These 5 players elevate the game of basketball to new heights in terms of popularity....WORLDWIDE.
They deserve it.
Luka???
In hockey a no trade clause is very common. A lot of players don’t wanna play in Canada
I've been screaming this, especially to the Lebron haters, we are going to miss him when he retires.
😂😂😂
Nah not really. He missed so many games in his last season, and a lot of people didn't care
@@ssk58607Literally injured. Averaged 30 before it.
Good list, good analysis.
What has Tatum done to deserve it? Problem is we give young bucks too much without accomplishing anything yet.
Did you not listen to the video?
@@gotone2513 no I didn’t, just read the title
25. 4 ECF appearances, 1 finals appearance.
For comparison people like Steph, joker, Gianna’s didn’t get to that until 27
@@KaiserReb Steph - 4 rings, 2 MVPs, Giannis - 1 ring , 2 MVPs, DPOY, Joker - 1 ring, 2 MVPs. Until Tatum wins, getting to the finals or ECF means nothing
@@Dynomite61125
Dropped a like for the asset talk, Unc! Needed to hear that 👏🏿
not including dame lillard in your no trade clause list is extremely steven a smith of you.
Dame is not in the same tier as Steph, Jokic and Giannis
Stephen A Smith when he says "To another level" at 2:16 squeaky as voice lmao 😂😂😂😂
If we want to take what lebron has done, for sure. But i am 100% positive that teams would trade him for Wembenyama or even Jokic today.😭 age can’t be hiden.
You missed the whole point…LBJ brings in revenue. Billionaire owners want that money
@@deckardaaron 😮
You definitely missed the point wow 😂
@@billycarter1798completely missed the point and he spent 10 mins explaining it lol
@@semahj facts 😂 what an idiot
Luka not on this list makes this hilarious
Loyalty to a franchise deserves a no trade clause, I mean if the players are employees the players should be able control where their next destination is, a player is drafted to a team he doesn’t want to be with so he should be able to choose the next place, I’m just saying
The league would be made up of like 6 teams
@@Bladimir-pf6gr 😂😂 now I can yes an no because some of these dude like dame he would die in Portland If he could the money get him hypnotize small market team are willing to pay the max for a superstar or franchise player more money that’s guaranteed.
Y’all I’ll be real with y’all as a born wizards fan. Beal has held it down for us when he had every right to leave to get a championship. We respect all he’s done for the franchise, we wished he would stay but he has every right to leave since we are “rebuilding” when we were never built lol. As for the no trade thing, when a player has stayed with a franchise for that long and performed to a higher standard it’s a sign of appreciation. Yeah he doesn’t have the numbers but it’s a loyalty thing.
I’d say Luka gets a no trade clause for exactly one of the reasons you said for Giannis. It implies that he’d like to be there long term and you take it.
Dame has 4 years on his deal. In today's NBA years on the deal doesn't matter at all.
Watching this in a public place is pure hell😂one moment he's whispering the next he's yelling😂my finger is stuck to the volume button
That Fury compassion is ridiculously accurate
Tatum over Luka? That is hilarious
LUKA DONCIC deserves it way more than Tatum
I think the players that deserve a no trade clause are
1. Jokic
2. Tatum
3. Curry
4. Giannis
5. Luka (untouchable for the Mavs)
Hell yeah lol I was watching and if Steph ain't on this list I dislike lol but not only is he on it he's number one, I agree Steven A
No trade clauses and super max contracts should be re-evaluated bcuz now it seems like every player has a no trade clause or super max and stats/eye test says otherwise. And no Tatum shouldn't have any of those perks
I'd like to hear Stephen A's take on Draymond Green entering the free agency market.
The disrespect to KD is unbelievable
Masterful! Stephen A. Smith is a national treasure.
Tatum,Jokic, Giannis, Luka, Embiid, Curry
I would say luka instead of Tatum
Tatum will find a way to win one day. Dude has been in the Eastern Conference Finals since he was 18 y/o, and he is only getting better each year. He will have his MVP season soon. MJ didn't start winning til he was almost 28 years old (although for the sake of argument, he also didn't enter the league at 18). I really thought 2022 vs GSW was Tatum's year, especially after going up 2-1 and leading in the 4th quarter at home.
Just a few weeks ago SAS said Jokic wasn't even in his top 5 for Super Max Players and now Jokic is box office and deserving of a no trade clause.
So he should just not change his mind and admit he witnessed a beast?
@@DK-nc9wr how about watch actual games and not just read headlines before you make your lists. It’s been crystal clear some of these folks from the media hasn’t been paying attention to what Jokic has been doing.
SAS is a racist
A few weeks ago, he wasn't a champion/FMVP....
@@gritsgravy3886neither was Luka and Tatum both who have never even been league MVP by the way and they were in his top 5 just saying
The “Jokic isn’t box office” narrative only applies to people who don’t appreciate the beauty of the game
It applies to that people who are casual don’t know him until now.
But he is not . He is not a player that makes you like watching. He is boring, slow af and has a ceiling 🙄 WTF you talking about. Winning a chip doesn't make you box office ....
Very smart move.. creating your own lane that you can control just in case something happens with espn..
Agree SAS ‼️ What about Luka ?
He hates Luka he said draft Ayton above him.
I wouldn't take off any of those players for Luka.
Compare how deep Luka and Tatum have gone in playoffs and you will understand
@@zinaxurupita316 bro if Tatum was on the Mavs they wouldn't be a playoff team. The celtics were built before tatum got there. Luka is playing with paperclips and duct tape
@@RadiantandDire Luka is on the mavs right now and they still aren't a playoff team, hell they didn't even make the play-in, even Minnesota made it . 😂 Y'all are blinded by the stats, but that Houston James harden style of play will never work.
No luka on this list?? Tatum will be tradable in a few years if he doesn’t get it done.
This is easily better than the curated first take segments. He's better when he can either butt heads with someone who can say crazy stuff for him to react to, or rant like in these videos.
Two points to make...
1) LeBron has done this...in this media era. The whole time. Jordan could not do that, even in his era.
2) Like Jordan (and unlike LeBron), Steph has a piece of his career where he wasn't that great. And he still just the greatest shooter of all time.
We got to be witnesses. (Yes, I said it)
Bruh, Steph came in a shooting threat from the jump 😵💫
Aside from the ankle woes early on
@HoodBatman that's what I'm talking about. Trust, you're exactly right...but those ankles were shaky.
KG and you together were amazing. I hope all of things spectacular ideas mentioned between the two of you become reality.
Luka ahead of Tatum on this list but of course Stephen A obsessed with Tatum. I also might put Embiid ahead of Tatum
GM pick Tatum over those bc of injury history youth and defense. Embiid is injury prone and Luka has no defense
@@jayharris1359 In every single GM survey out there, GMs unanimously pick Luka over Tatum. And Luka is an average defender, about the same level as Jokic.
@@zinktomas8251 when did they do the survey? Not after this year. I was with you UNTIL this year. He hasn’t shown that he can play with a star yet. Too ball dominant and only knows luka ball. Then doesn’t compete defensively. Jokic competes defensively and he’s a great teammate. Luka has bad body language,complaining and showing up teammates
This a respectable list. I gotta agree 💯
I gotta admit this was both great content and funny at the same time.
To me, only 4 players deserve a No trade clause. 1. Steph Curry... Duh
2. Nikola Jokic
3. Giannis Antetokounmpo
4. Luka Doncic.
That's it. LBJ is too old otherwise he'd be here. Don't trust KD enough. Don't trust Jayson Tatum enough.
I got 4 out of 5 on your list . I had a feeling you wasn’t gonna say KD but I did have him up there . I’m not sure about Tatum yet
Me either I just need to more from Tatum hes not passing the the eye test for me hes good asl but I just don't see it yet
I would replace Tatum for kawhi
might get a lil distracted in south beach😭😭
Luka Doncic is going to be the best player in the world in a matter of time, be real.
Stephen A. Smith x Joe Budden episode is going to be epic!
Fun fact step actually did go to the front office and asked for a no trade clause and they declined it
really? when is that?
KD wouldn't want a no-trade clause, lol. He'd be itching to move within a few years anyways!
The media wants us to like Jason Tatum so bad & nobody does outside of Celtic fans
His vocal cords went to another level 😅😅
If Tatum on here then Luka should be too
I'm surprised to see Tatum on his list and not Doncic
This isn’t ESPN lol
Luka gotta be on that list
same with players who deserves the max/super max there are a lot of players in the NBA that are making way too much money for how crappy they are at the game.
Tobias harris, khris middleton, jordan poole and special mention for ben simmons
Like Karl Anthony Towns 😂
@@lifeisadirtytrick Ben should have been first mention lol… I agree with your list
That's why you sign contracts.
@@sdfishinn Tobias Harris never deserved 35 million a year 😑
How can Tatum and 38 year old LeBron be there and Doncic can't?
Luka Doncic has to be on this list
What about DBook, Luka, Shai, Mitchell,Fox???
No-trade clauses, in another word = loyalty. I am only giving Giannis, Joker and Stephen. Tatum may be deserved as well, but still needs more time. Bron?…HELL NO!!!
These franchises aren't loyal to their players lol its a business at the end of the day.
Just off of equity alone, Bron deserves a no trade clause
Dame ?
Luka?
@@Sgreenenov13Steph turned that franchise from few hundred mill to 3 billion worth
Idk if its me but id love to go to a game just to watch jokic, he actually does some flashy things you dont see from a center. Ig cause hes a different type of center.
I agree with SAS. Jayson Tatum hasn’t won it yet but he’s already showed he’s a needle mover however he obviously still going through growing pains which all the greats did. Michael Jordan went through the same thing JT did as far as losing in the playoffs JT just has a better team around him to make it deeper to lose while Jordan had a terrible team and coach in his first 6 years. JT non tradable
I literally said all of your picks but I didnt about Tatum. I was thinking more so Luka
