I could even go on, he said Giannis is better than KD DURING the 2019 regular season. In fact he said that KD is not a top 5 player during that same time. If you agree with him and think he has the best takes, your a clown. If you don’t agree with him then you replied to me for no reason. Ty and have a nice day.
saying that durant was a better closer than lebron was the dumbest most ignorant thing smith has ever said....and he says some dumb things...skip is just irrelevant he knows nothing about sports or basketballl

@@StayTru101 how can a team play when one player has the ball all the time. He dribbles up the court then shoots too much iso ball you can never win like that. Everyone has to be involved in some form.

That was the playoffs were LeBron dropped 45 in an elimination game vs the Celtics with his legacy on the line and these fools sitting there and talking about how he‘s not a closer
i love watching them both, if they agree all the time then it will be boring! skip is always the antagonist and i like him for that he adds flavor to the show, stephen a has a lot of followers and skip has a lot of haters that's why people watch them! especially skip who people loves to hate! :)
***** If James Harden showed up as the Star he is, the outcome would have been completely different. Durant had a better TEAM around him and still lost.
***** Well, yeah, his bench wasn't a bunch of scrubs in 2012, but all season long we were talkin about the lack of big men on that team. People forget that even though they were a big three they still had no paint presence and no rebounding at all and had to rely on small ball. That is why Chicago and Indiana always gave them so much trouble. Boozer/Noah and Hibbert/West against Joel Anthony and Birdman lol But if you think that he didn't carry the Finals a month ago you need to recheck your logic. That team was absolute trash without Love and Irving. So he has every right to blame his teammates. He showed up big for once, and nobody else did.
***** Paul George and D Rose were not the reason Indiana/Chicago gave them trouble. We talked for 4 years about how the Heat never had rebounding, big men or paint protection. Why was George dunking all over them? No paint protection. Birdman and Haslem were forced to guard people twice their size and that is why Spoelstra constantly had to force Bosh into the Center position even though he is not a center. That's the whole reason they signed Greg Oden because they were desperate for bigs. And they still had no good bigs in 2014, which why they lost so badly last year. If they had at least 2 solid bigs Miami probably wins 4 straight from 2010-14.
***** Sure I like LeBron but that doesn't mean I'm not objective. And Wade's last good year was 2012. It's been downhill since. Just check my other comments on other videos. I constantly have to defend why LeBron isn't as good as people say he is. He won't even crack the top 5 greatest ever, maybe not even top 10, but that doesn't mean he isn't one of the best ever. Having to argue with LeBron dick riders is like talking to a 2 year old. All I have to say is 2-4 and that ends the argument.
You may like them both, like only one or hate both of them, but you can't deny they have good chemistry together and there is no boring moment if they are together on tv
Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless were the best. Both were very knowledgeable about basketball it was always great debate. Wish they were still together.
