Stephen A greatest in the world right now: Monday: AD Tuesday: LeBron Wednesday: Kawhi Thursday: KD Friday: Harden Saturday: Curry Sunday: Siakam (Edit) there, I inputted some suggestions lol
Damian Pipkins yeah BC he’s hiding the fact that if he is supposedly “the best player in the world”, then why did he have to go to a team who was already on a role playing genuine team basketball better than we’ve ever seen it. I’m glad he’s on his own team though now, we will get to see just how good he really is. Regardless though, a true champion does not follow the path Kevin has taken. Period.
Sleuter McGavin y’all keep forgetting his whole career with the thunder , even with GSW he was that guy on every tram he been on , niggas already know how good he is. He’s the best player in the world , not nobody is really out there guarding him
man you've no idea what it is to be in the league so quit acting like you understand the business better than him he probably would school you 1 on 1 anyway and his beard's hella attractive
Kevin Durant, impressive presentation. Really. You held court, literally. Questions asked and answered. You put Stephen A back on his square. They know now you're a warrior worthy of respect as much off the basketball court as on it. The three people at the table with you disappeared under the weight of your responses. C.H.
Daniel Martinez In this very interview KD said that he was leaving regardless. And although it affected his decision, he didn’t leave strictly because he hated Draymond. They’re both grown men, and they worked it out eventually. KD wanted to go someplace new anyway.
If they had talked to KD and told him lets milk this fella for all its worth. We need you to continue this. Instead of being jealous of him stealing Steph shine. Steph final appearances where he shys away from the big stage runs a pattern.
@@johnanders6234 English please? Who "stole stephs shine"? Im a life long Warriors fan and Bay Area resident. NO ONE stole Stephen Curry shine, NO ONE ever will. Out here Steph is a god, even after KD joined, the people would chant "KD, KD, KD". But they chanted "Curry, Curry, Curry" WAAAAAAAAAAAY MORE. The Bay and its Warriors fans will NEVER put anyone above Steph Curry. Durant came here expecting to become the "the guy", and he was, on the court. Curry's shot attempts, and averages all dipped when KD joined. KD got two Finals MVP's, hit all the game-winners AND STILL......the people loved Curry more. Thats part of the reason he left.
He basically used Golden State to help him get easy rings and then once he got what he needed he jump ship. He needed multiple All-Stars at least three or four of them so that they can form a super team to get pills easy rings and now since there aren't any on Golden State yeah it was time for him to bail
@@GreatTrumpShorts How can the most prolific scorer since Jordan not be remembered? By the time kD career has concluded he will be the all time leader or second at least.Why? Because he's kevin Durant!
but if you follow the explanation, it wasn't the altercation per se, it was what transpired, the consequences. The media, especially in the Bay Area, started hounding KD every single day about free agency, they started gossiping about him and speculating about what he's going to do every single day and in the middle of the playoff run, and that's what ticked KD off more than the altercation itself. The altercation with Draymond opened up the door for lots of headaches for KD, and he's the type of person who just wants peace but at the same time he can't tolerate inaccurate reports about him. I despise the media, they're parasites.
@@PastaFazool4266 Brother why do you think draymond got upset at him in the first place and they had the altercation. durant was rumored to be leaving and draymond called him out on it. why draymond thinks he owned kevin like some slave master is beyond me. draymond knew the warriors would be done without kd as they were getting older. with kd golden state would've still had 1-2 more rings green was being greedy not realizing kd had to leave and win somewhere else b/c the warriors would always say they could win without kd b/c they did, but unless kd left he could never say that
I know Draymond is not a superstar he is overrated as an individual player but in my honest opinion he is a great complementary player for a team. Rodman and Ben Wallace were never the number 1 guys on their teams and if they were the teams would be horrible but they were great complementary players on great teams where those teams wouldnt be as great without them.
Yes yesssss! I've have mad respect for how durant handled this questioning! Very respectful and honest ! And I'm a madd! Warriors fan. Draymond Green is one of my favorites but he was a pivotal reason why durant left. If I was durant and that happened to me (with his options) ... I would bouce too! Straight up still got mad love for durant and warriors! Wish it could have worked but apparently wasnt meant to be :( . him and kyrie are going to kill it! Watch out!
K Cla bs. KD tried to say Draymond blew up out of no where but that’s not true. He took nothing on his own shoulders and had messed with team chemistry due to the rumors he helped fuel and he shouted at Draymond for shooting and missing. They knew he was leaving all year. He can do that but it has an effect. And none of its basketball. Why is US sports commentary so emo?
Because he proved it before he tore it , Remember? He went perfect from the field Nd they would’ve won that game 💯 they are judging in terms of skill OBVIOUSLY he can’t play rn but don’t act slow because we know what KD can do . He is the best period.
? WHY it's the weakest move....is because he is (the/one of the) best players in the world, and he chose to go to the best team in the world. I'm not trying to be mean at all but doesn't that make perfectly clear, like obvious, sense?
niesha patterson I mean I know what you meant but like at the same tome that’s two different things that was a weak move by KD but in Stephens opinion he’s the best player right now
He was not close to right. I think the warriors blew a great opportunity to show kd that he was one of them at that moment. They all should have ripped Draymond to shreds for it. Instead they let Draymond continue to talk and refuse to apologize etc. Basically condoning his behavior.
KD yelled at Draymond after draymond made the right play at the end of the game. Later Dray called him out for being fake about being 100% with the team. I see KD instigated everything, and Dray got punished for reacting because kd was more valuable to the warriors at that point. KD a diva. KD hurt. KD in his feeling all the time. KD never happy and always complaining on burner accounts.
@@AR-rn8ok I get what u are saying but there is a difference between criticizing a play and attacking a man personally. A man is trying to figure out if he wants to stay with you and you are calling him out his name in public. He was better than me, because I would've been gone right there. The bottom line is it was either Draymond or KD. Seems like an easy choice to me.
A Rios draymond didn’t make the right play lol he should’ve gave that ball up to either Klay Or KD this mf dribbled the ball up the court and lost it. He was the 3rd option on the court.
Robin Hoody naw player. We can go at her for her skills as a broadcaster. But any vulgar comments disrespecting her as a woman is off limits. Apologize...
@@deancj1 well right now we don't have a younger Giannis or a older Achilles injury KD. We just got a fucking Dlo, no Steph, and a 1-3 record. So right now it's looking like Dray screwed us over, not KD.
Clarence Matthews No he has to prove that he can win a championship as the alpha dog of a team. Not jump on a 73 win team that has the second greatest point guard ever and two other hall of gamers.
I know. He's been saying Lebron was the best all last season, now as soon as KD gets in front of him he's saying he's the best. It's fake but whatever, he has to do what he can to get KD on the show for ratings
@TheRealist 811 How do know he would get in his feelings? And if that's true wouldn't it be smart not to sit down and talk with the person who criticizes every aspect of your career?
Going to the Lnicks is career suicide, the media will show love for one season, then go ham until the player leaves where even then theyll be reminded on jow they couldn't do ish with that trash franchise
It was not about seeing DG being average. Its about the chemistry they 'had' together (the whole 2018 season team). Dray still a nice defense player, not a good shooter tho.
Steven: “ I have a question?” Steven: “ What is it” Steven: “ Don’t interrupts me” Steven: “ I can keep talking all day long” Steven: “ I can’t take it anymore “ Steven: “ Don’t walk out on me”

Respect KD for being honest. I would leave too after that and I hope Draymond see this and knows he himself caused that dynasty to collapse
Daniel Martinez he was leaving regardless, jus an excuse to use
Teddy Penderazdoun you don’t know that. He could have extended the contract.
Kevin Lowe KD had no business being on the warriors anyway Dray said what everyone was thinking
@Daniel Martinez I agree completely. I never liked Draymond Green. KD is a professional and that includes his attitude.
Daniel Martinez In this very interview KD said that he was leaving regardless. And although it affected his decision, he didn’t leave strictly because he hated Draymond. They’re both grown men, and they worked it out eventually. KD wanted to go someplace new anyway.
The real question they should've phrased it "If the incident with Draymond Green never had happened, would you have stayed in Golden State?"
Wild Life he still answered it tho
Semantics
If they had talked to KD and told him lets milk this fella for all its worth. We need you to continue this. Instead of being jealous of him stealing Steph shine. Steph final appearances where he shys away from the big stage runs a pattern.
No he was leaving anyways.
@@johnanders6234 English please? Who "stole stephs shine"?
Im a life long Warriors fan and Bay Area resident. NO ONE stole Stephen Curry shine, NO ONE ever will. Out here Steph is a god, even after KD joined, the people would chant "KD, KD, KD". But they chanted "Curry, Curry, Curry" WAAAAAAAAAAAY MORE. The Bay and its Warriors fans will NEVER put anyone above Steph Curry.
Durant came here expecting to become the "the guy", and he was, on the court. Curry's shot attempts, and averages all dipped when KD joined. KD got two Finals MVP's, hit all the game-winners AND STILL......the people loved Curry more. Thats part of the reason he left.
Stephen A forgot to mention that "Kevin, you're a friend of mine".
A close personal friend. I've known you for many years. I've babysat your children. You were the best man at my wedding. lol
Actually a Brother😂😂😂
"Why would you think I was going to the Knicks?" *sideways look*
Stephen A *dies inside*
They wasn’t expecting him to say yeah.
Facts it got quiet
*weren’t
Slime heck yeah
Ultra Force *weren’t
Dre Pierrelus heck yeah
4:00
- SAS asks KD a question
- Awkward silence...
- Max "do u wanna expand on that at all"😂😂
Double YUW max when he’s not political is on point
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀
4:00 150
It wasn't silence he answered him goofy, then Max said to expand on it
They did not expect that answer at all
I have more respect for KD after this interview at least he was honest about leaving Golden State
He basically used Golden State to help him get easy rings and then once he got what he needed he jump ship. He needed multiple All-Stars at least three or four of them so that they can form a super team to get pills easy rings and now since there aren't any on Golden State yeah it was time for him to bail
Agree.. so rare to get this type of honesty from a player. Have mad respect for KD.
Respect?! Guy is a joke all across the board...he will not be remembered
@@GreatTrumpShorts How can the most prolific scorer since Jordan not be remembered? By the time kD career has concluded he will be the all time leader or second at least.Why? Because he's kevin Durant!
Sorry nobody cares now and nobody will care later...all the glory goes to curry and not Durant as the next great one
4:03 is when KD says Draymond's bitching did impact his leaving. Thank me later.
but if you follow the explanation, it wasn't the altercation per se, it was what transpired, the consequences. The media, especially in the Bay Area, started hounding KD every single day about free agency, they started gossiping about him and speculating about what he's going to do every single day and in the middle of the playoff run, and that's what ticked KD off more than the altercation itself. The altercation with Draymond opened up the door for lots of headaches for KD, and he's the type of person who just wants peace but at the same time he can't tolerate inaccurate reports about him. I despise the media, they're parasites.
It’s been a year and I’m waiting for you to pull a drake and say, “you can thank me now”
@@PastaFazool4266 Brother why do you think draymond got upset at him in the first place and they had the altercation. durant was rumored to be leaving and draymond called him out on it. why draymond thinks he owned kevin like some slave master is beyond me. draymond knew the warriors would be done without kd as they were getting older. with kd golden state would've still had 1-2 more rings green was being greedy not realizing kd had to leave and win somewhere else b/c the warriors would always say they could win without kd b/c they did, but unless kd left he could never say that
No KD Steph or clay so now big mouth draymond can lead this team and learn a lesson
Kevin Herron frl dramond does to much
Klay*
I know Draymond is not a superstar he is overrated as an individual player but in my honest opinion he is a great complementary player for a team. Rodman and Ben Wallace were never the number 1 guys on their teams and if they were the teams would be horrible but they were great complementary players on great teams where those teams wouldnt be as great without them.
“Were you hurt?” 😂
Felt like Stephen A was his therapist when he said that 😂😂
ninja zay the fact durant wiped his eye after smith asked the question made it even more hilarious
@@kenshinhimura8708 bro that's big cap what was the timestamp cuz I ain't see that💀💀
@@kenshinhimura8708 He actually didn't...
Kenshin Himura nah Durant was just scratching his face, definitely not wiping tears 3:23
Maaaaaaddddddd Respect to Durant for going on the show giving his take on himself! Salute!
Ryte it clears the air In alot of ways for everyone that had questions
Yes yesssss! I've have mad respect for how durant handled this questioning! Very respectful and honest ! And I'm a madd! Warriors fan. Draymond Green is one of my favorites but he was a pivotal reason why durant left. If I was durant and that happened to me (with his options) ... I would bouce too! Straight up still got mad love for durant and warriors! Wish it could have worked but apparently wasnt meant to be :( . him and kyrie are going to kill it! Watch out!
Why?
@Anderson132100 interesting! I still have to watch that boardroom show
K Cla bs. KD tried to say Draymond blew up out of no where but that’s not true. He took nothing on his own shoulders and had messed with team chemistry due to the rumors he helped fuel and he shouted at Draymond for shooting and missing. They knew he was leaving all year. He can do that but it has an effect. And none of its basketball. Why is US sports commentary so emo?
“I know how to do everything.” Facts
How could he be the best player right now when he's injured 😂😂
King Oscar Yk stephen a just be talkin
Real talk
LOL that is so true
Because he proved it before he tore it , Remember? He went perfect from the field Nd they would’ve won that game 💯 they are judging in terms of skill OBVIOUSLY he can’t play rn but don’t act slow because we know what KD can do . He is the best period.
Cam Adams
He was 3-5 actually and that doesn’t prove anything. KD isn’t a winner. He jumped ship and took the easy way out.
Kd giving molly that death stare 6:30
Going 2 golden State was the weakest move by a superstar!!
Face to face. I think you the best right now. 😞
?
WHY it's the weakest move....is because he is (the/one of the) best players in the world, and he chose to go to the best team in the world.
I'm not trying to be mean at all but doesn't that make perfectly clear, like obvious, sense?
He told him face to face that he thought it was a weak move you missed the episode
@@MrAlwaysRight I quote stephen A now here you are on my nuts really 🤣😂 how many basketball teams have you ever played for and started?
niesha patterson I mean I know what you meant but like at the same tome that’s two different things that was a weak move by KD but in Stephens opinion he’s the best player right now
Cupcakes
KD: "yes I left because of Draymond"
Steve Kerr: "we need to trade Draymond"
Nah what Dray does is beyond the stat sheet
"Draymond knew he was out of Line"
He was not close to right. I think the warriors blew a great opportunity to show kd that he was one of them at that moment. They all should have ripped Draymond to shreds for it. Instead they let Draymond continue to talk and refuse to apologize etc. Basically condoning his behavior.
KD yelled at Draymond after draymond made the right play at the end of the game. Later Dray called him out for being fake about being 100% with the team. I see KD instigated everything, and Dray got punished for reacting because kd was more valuable to the warriors at that point. KD a diva. KD hurt. KD in his feeling all the time. KD never happy and always complaining on burner accounts.
@@AR-rn8ok I get what u are saying but there is a difference between criticizing a play and attacking a man personally. A man is trying to figure out if he wants to stay with you and you are calling him out his name in public. He was better than me, because I would've been gone right there. The bottom line is it was either Draymond or KD. Seems like an easy choice to me.
@@aaronmack9958 THIS! 🎯
A Rios draymond didn’t make the right play lol he should’ve gave that ball up to either Klay Or KD this mf dribbled the ball up the court and lost it. He was the 3rd option on the court.
KD just slapped his resumé on the table and said forget the bs, lets ball up i got nothing to prove.
Yes you do kd.... loser. Joined champions to get free ring.. leave for the money... switcher..
Why are we still listening to sport analysts that contradict themselves on a daily basis?
I don’t know why do you continue to watch?
Can you please upload the 2nd verse to more than words been waiting for 7years
Sam casell visits the show
Stephen: no doubt you're easily top ten in my book!!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
😂👏
6:17 Molly: can I get in here and make everyone’s ears bleed
I thought it was a fair question. I wanted he and Kyrie to play in the garden.
He should have told her "Next time I come here, wear a low cut shirt so I can see some cleavage."
@@Carl55_jc lol
Lol
Robin Hoody naw player. We can go at her for her skills as a broadcaster. But any vulgar comments disrespecting her as a woman is off limits. Apologize...
What ever happened to THE WEAKEST MOVE EVER STEPHEN A?
Nathaniel Eden really old episode 🅱️uddy
He did on the ESPN plus show that is a paid for program.
Nathaniel Eden He’s an entertainer. He’s gonna always change his opinion no matter what.
They addressed that on KD's show and Steven A stood by what he said to KD's face.
@@j.r.2674 Your 100 percent right.
Last part translation: No, KD never ever gave even a shred of consideration to playing for the Knicks 🤣
Christopher Gargaro 😂😂😂
I really love his humility here Deffinetely made me more of a fan
Justin Osuji media been bashing him for years
Gotta respek KD for doing all these interviews with these targeted questions
🐐
I don’t blame KD for doing so. Let people hear from his own mouth and stop with all the rumors and stuff. GET WELL KD!!
Yup too many people out there hating on him, the guy is a beast, seems like a good dude with no ill intentions, just wants to hoop.
🍿
Its respect
NOT respek
That moment you realize just how many championships Draymond cost Golden State🤦🏾♂️
Yo Mammas Boo yea but if we had klay then we didn’t have a problem this season
Really? I'll take a younger Giannis over an older Achilles injured kd. Draymond told the truth to the sensitive little baby ears snake.
@@deancj1 well right now we don't have a younger Giannis or a older Achilles injury KD. We just got a fucking Dlo, no Steph, and a 1-3 record. So right now it's looking like Dray screwed us over, not KD.
Yo Mammas Boo lol now that I think about it you are sadly right 😂
Injuries are what is costing golden state rn, not KD leaving lol
KD was right about Russ BUT his timing of knowing when to let Russ take over rather then he take over was the issue.
he made the adjustment after that terrible game 6 against GS and took the ball from Westbrook and scored 12 points in the 4th quarter in game 7
and he scored 14 points in the 4th quarter in game 5
Kevin you are so good that there's nothing left to prove to anyone, even yourself. If you don't I will tell you exactly what and who you are: GREAT.
Clarence Matthews No he has to prove that he can win a championship as the alpha dog of a team. Not jump on a 73 win team that has the second greatest point guard ever and two other hall of gamers.
Molly's last question ruined the whole interview!
SAS says anything to make the person in front of him happy . “ you’re the best “
I know. He's been saying Lebron was the best all last season, now as soon as KD gets in front of him he's saying he's the best. It's fake but whatever, he has to do what he can to get KD on the show for ratings
True
MikeBNumba6 except he didn’t. He said lebron was the best and it was because kd was hurt.
Hider, al your wrong and here's why. Lol
(You already know..😩😂😂)
Francine Johnson 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now we need Lebron and Skip😂😂😂
That’s a brawl.
Don't hold your breath.
@TheRealist 811 How do know he would get in his feelings? And if that's true wouldn't it be smart not to sit down and talk with the person who criticizes every aspect of your career?
@@jeromepowell9245 not if you gon embarrass yourself
@Nahbro Bro Big facts!!!
What an amazing player this guy is...a pity his injury.
His response came across like "Why would I go join that garbage?"
He was pretty much offended by the idea
And by Mollywood.....
As he should be lol
Going to the Lnicks is career suicide, the media will show love for one season, then go ham until the player leaves where even then theyll be reminded on jow they couldn't do ish with that trash franchise
Stephen A paused when he said Lebron. He's not exactly sure😂😂
I heard that too 😂😂
If LBJ was there SAS would definitely be calling LeBron James the greatest basketball player....smh
GoRd0oO yo let me get some of the stuff u on
Stephen A is a punk for sure lol
@@delmarfrazier2727 lol exactly.
GSW fan here, I love all of KD's answers & where his mind is. Good for him.
When you hear that "and let me tell you why" it's all over
The game ain’t the same without KD hope he makes a complete recovery.
Fr tho man
The game is fine without him.
Game doesn’t need him back we got great talent coming
Damares Nhlapo u act like he’s the only star player to watch... unless u just a KD fan
Max: criticized by SAS
SAS: *sips tea*
He went from “LeBron Is still The best player in the world” to “I believe you are the best player in the world KD” Steven A FlipFlop
he lame
He said Lebron is the best because KD is hurt pay attention. Cuz right now you sound like CNN and Fox news editing interviews to push an agenda. Smh
any NBA player that comes on the show
Stephen A: I think you're the best in the world rn!!
Anthony benett
@@darkshadez8479 hahaha
What if Kwame Brown comes to his show?
"Why would you think I was going to The Knicks?" 😂😂😂😂
Robert Wisdom Bro she fucking back tracked like a mf 😭😭😭
"as men we talked about it" y'all fools scrapped in the parking lot
You mean screamed and hugged each other
Well if you mean an actual fist fight then my money would be on draymond
yuch1102 lmao kd smackin that boy before dray could even get close to him😂
skrr skrr his arm would break in half if he did 💀
The world will finally see just how average of a player Draymond is when he’s not surrounded by several all stars.
It was not about seeing DG being average. Its about the chemistry they 'had' together (the whole 2018 season team). Dray still a nice defense player, not a good shooter tho.
Draymond brings accountability. Wether the right way or wrong way.
Boy you ain’t kiddin man
So Cool1 i mean dpoy isn't exactly average..
Lies. He is underrated actually. He runs offense and defense
Steven: “ I have a question?”
Steven: “ What is it”
Steven: “ Don’t interrupts me”
Steven: “ I can keep talking all day long”
Steven: “ I can’t take it anymore “
Steven: “ Don’t walk out on me”
I can't believe KD on first take. I never thought I see this. I need to see him on Undisputed vs Skip now
Ben Toney skip is one of the few dudes who stands his ground face to face, actually the only one but skip LOVES KD.
KD's show is on ESPN+ so he's here promoting that. He'd need a reason to go on Undisputed.
Trueee. Kd really don't like Max though.
When Stephen A asked "we're you hurt?" I felt like he gone all therapist on him lol 😂
KD needs a therapist.
We are you hurt? Doesn't make sense bruh
@@jdfodio We all need a shrink somewhat. But they don't need to talk to him like they're his shrink. Ridiculous. Although some of the interview was lighter and Fun. Just let these players Ball, enjoy and cherish them. He is one of the GREATS!
Steven A energy ain’t the same
This interview gave me new found respect for durant
Kevin Durant bodied each panelist. I like it. I like how stoic he was throughout this whole interview & he didn't curtail his answers or allow them to lead him to say what they wanted him to say. "AWESOME KD AWESOME!"
Kevin is my man, much love from Denmark 🇩🇰 Mr. Durant 🏀 can’t wait to see you play for Brooklyn 👌🏽😎
Yes!!!!!!! Get well KD!
perfect television moment when Stephen A asked if the draymond fight had anything to do with him leaving. the small silence afterwards was so powerful lol
Good interview KD. Bravo my brother. Passed due appreciation for poise and control.
This sounds like the after show of the real world.
