KD getting a pass every time he fails, if he’s supposed to be better than bron, why y’all don’t hold him nearly to the same or even higher standards
Bro lebron LOST 6 CHAMPIONSHIPS AND PEOPLE STILL COMPARING HIM TO JORDAN
KD showed up and didn't turn the ball over 3 straight times and foul out and scored 9 pts.. Put blame where it deserves to go.. Book and KD showed up
@@jasongordan Anyone who tries to make this point doesn't know ball. How many times did Jordan not even make the finals?
@@jasongordan Stop it. You know why he's really compared to Jordan. This is getting old and played out. 🙄
@ChrisJoestarr
He gets away with it because we realised a long ago that he wasnt on the level of those we demand high standards.
Bradly Beal: "Ive never been swept a day in my life.. ill be damned if that happens."
BB: "Well ill be damned"
#FreeBradleyBeal
LmaO 🤣
Has he ever been to the playoffs in Washington?
@chunky9791 more like get out so we can get some better players for you. Hes never been a winner and doesn't know how to!
He going straight to hell when this life is over. By his own request 😂
I remember Jennings said that team was FUCKED from the jump
man idk why they made that trade it makes no sense
Then d. Rose enters the chat 😂😂😂😂😂
Let this be LeBron, the world would be all over him
Shoulda got a damn point guard 🤦♂️ we watched book miss wide open passes in the paint multiple times each game lol
@@SolaceMcflyI’d trade was fine that Beal trade really fucked it all up lol
Gil waking up up in the morning thinking “fuck, i gotta defend Bradley Beal infront of MCants”
Move aroundddddd😂
@@TaataGeoI was about to type that 😭😭😭😭😭😭 he’s right tho I ain’t Paying you $50 million for 15 and 6 foh
Lmao
😆😆😆
KD ain’t never beating the “ bus rider” allegations
That a lie doe he hit them big shots vs cavs
@@bryansmith8356 Well, he was the best player of that superateam and for those worthless Warriors rings that those guys got.
Respect to him for actually stepping in and contesting Edwards
@@bryansmith8356 bruh if I was on the Warriors back then I COULDA HIT THEM SHOTS, yall act like he didnt have Steph & Klay with him, thats why he can't even get out he first round now.
He needs to ride the bus back to OKC and win a ring there
@@natedogg890 Oh now he would, now that the Thunder have a great team yes
nick young being the most rational and speaking the most facts about KD here is insane
I was about to comment this haha Nick the only one with logical basketball knowledge
Just cuz they was nice don't mean theyre right all the time
He definitely made a good point
Brandon Jennings never even smelled the conference finals what is he talking about .
@@NdoubleOZfacts definitely bruh
No one giving credit to the Wolves, y’all instead just bash the Suns. The Wolves are different, they play as a team
Exactly!!!
Nothing matters except winning a championship. I really doesn’t matter how far a team advances in the playoffs. If they don’t win the chip, it’s a failure!
It’s cuz they led by a 22 yr old monster and not two all stars an a super star.
Na u dead right I think they play with no ego n ball out
Conley is the stabilser of wolves.
Keep speaking up Jennings. Makes for a great show 💯
Beal ain't ready for da west
Hell he barely ready for the season
They should’ve got kuzma instead
Different animal over here lol
@@drizzy-jz6wb wen da last time da valley booed em out 💔💔💔🤦🏾♂️
Gilbert and Kenyon was the ones that said suns was going to western conference finals
Exactly
Kd but riders but hating on the injured bucks
That’s y players and former players r trash analyst
Literally everyone was putting them in the WCF at the start of the season . What else is new....
@@superphiAs opposed to a bum that's never made it past the YMCA level 😂😂😂
Kd had a game with 18 points, and he hasn’t performed in the 4th quarter. Him not performing in 4th isn’t being talked about like if it was Lebron
That’s because he Not Lebron 😂 they tried it but everybody knew the truth that’s why I get they give him slack.
He don’t get the ball lol
He averaged 27 on 55% and you bring up the one game he had 18 😂😂😂 you lebron dick riders are insufferable, thinking people need to be compared and held to the same standard as some bum proclaiming himself the greatest ever when he not even close 😂
@@bdukes8075exactly. KD is great but he is held to a lower standard now than a guy like Bron.
He has two guards he shares the ball with. One of them turned the ball of FIVE TIMES IN THE 4TH QUARTER. WTF
McCannts and Brandon were on point with this one Gil kept saying there were going to the conference finals it was apparent they weren’t by Christmas 😂
Why won’t this panel be honest about KD, the man left multiple titles on the table by leaving Golden State it was the perfect team/system for the type of player he is.
You're absolutely right. Jennings almost got there but didn't land properly
It was a gamble since no one respected his rings over there
He also left a angry 🦍 behind
Draymond
He wasn’t happy there 😂
Gilbert need to stfu and stop giving this man making 50 mil a cop out
They could've had several key players and a solid big for Beal's 50mil, c'mon Beal was not needed
You talking about his money because you broke or because he was supposed to stop Beal turning the ball over? Neither makes a difference to the fact that KD scored 33 on 17 shots
@silewis9396 but his money CEO type money and he producing minimum wage worker results 😂
Gil is annoying always thinks he is correct like Acho from The Speak
lol Gil just look at shit just from a pure player perspective. That’s all it is
Damn Gil Copped everything at the Plea store 😂😂
LMAOOOOOOOOO😂😂😂😂
I'm so stealing this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@kinggeorge90 😂✊🏿
Remember, KD called Bron toxic. Why does every team he touches implode?
oh i missed that. When did he say that?
First year LA, I believe. To be fair, he called the environment around LeBron, the media, toxic. But your point still applies
@dwilliams380 That wasn't a lie, though, bro.
@@isrealdeshield7906 I never said or meant to imply that it was. I was giving KD a bit of rope bc he didn’t mean LeBron himself, just the environment around him.
@@dwilliams380context vs running a narrative like the original comment.
27pts 7rbs on 50/40 splits and getting called a “corner player” is crazy..
Well, there is 20 players that do 27ppg...so yes, 27 aint that "much" anymore.
@@charlesmartel6108Its plenty. It doesn't make you a corner player.
Bro KD is almost 36. What did you expect? The only player who averaged 27 p on 50/40 in the playoffs was Lebron😮
@@charlesmartel6108how many of those player’s that average 27 are shooting 50/40???? It’s levels 😂
He doesn't score much where it matters, so most of his points are irrelevant
if Lebron forced the Lakers to trade him to Denver and they won two chips and he bragged about having as many as Jordan. NOBODY WOULD RESPECT THOSE RINGS SO WHY RESPECT KD’s 😂
facts lol
Absolute facts
Nobody respects the bubble ring
@@72breezy impressive you could type that while sucking KD’s dick
@@72breezy why because the Lakers were in the bubble alone? Or were they all in the same position?
Beal would be a nice player on a god-awful team. Put him on a contender, and he falls apart.
But he'll come on a podcast and talk down on proven greats.
Cap!!!!’ It’s Brad beals first year on a new team like damn!! He’s going from a number one option averaging 30 to a 3rd option. Bro playing out of position with point book like wtf was you expecting?! And Vogel as a coach. Bb3 was set up for failure
@@robdavis8929facts. We seen many other teams fail their 1st year together to come back and win after a few tweaks
KD is a great player, just not a leader. A leader is required to win a championship
You don't require your best player to be a leader to win a championship. Stop listening to the brand media and watch basketball
KD is NOT a LEADER but wants to be in a leadership role.
How you know KD not a leader
Stop regurgitating Steven A’s casual ass takes and think for yourself. 😂 Different leaders have different ways of leading.
@@jasongordanBecause he had to run to GSW to get 2 championships.
@@1anthwell his way dont yield chips so what we talking bout
@@jasongordanbc KD literally said it himself several times lol. Even a few days ago. They asked him who the leader is. He said the coach.
Bradley Beal career STATS are VERY comparable to Clyde Drexler but in NO UNIVERSE is Beal even close to Drexler 🤷🏾♂️
Drexler was Portland's #1 guy post-Bill Walton chip. Only negative point about Glide is he never had any defense. One-way Jordan but scored on all 3 levels. Plus Glide is a HoFer and 92 Dream Team player. Sure he rode the bus while Hakeem drove the Rockets all the way to 2 chips but without Drexler's outside shooting threat and possible slashing the Dream would be getting his ass locked down every time.
Yall gotta stop moving the needle for KD
Gil had the suns and clippers winning because of names he don’t watch ball
RIP those superteams, although if Kawhi was actually a player for his franchise the series would be unpredictable
Suns roster doesn’t fit well , and then clippers can beat the mavs 🤷🏾♂️
Thats Brandon Jennings job lol
@@dusk6159Ayo wtf are you talking about
@@SmooveGaming2497 Kawhi's health and 9 points aren't enough, especially because a series between the Mavs and Clippers is easily going to 6 if not 7.
“Move around” 😂
We can have the GOAT debate of LeBron or MJ, but I ain't hearing any of that LeBron or KD talk anymore cuz it's obvious...for the past 2 decades it is almost a certainty that if LeBron on your squad you going to the Finals...END OF DEBATE!
LeBron got to the Finals year after year for a long time, all the while dragging teams of bums!!!!
Hell at least took one from the Nuggets at 39 years old
KD should have just kept his goofy ass in Golden State.
the WOLVES got gil SPAZZING😂😂🐺🐺🐺
Love Gil but some of his takes are AWFUL how you not gonna hold KD accountable for his decisions! He’s not a leader ..Ant-man got that Killer mentality. That it -factor that dawg that jordan/kobe had to lead his team . We just got to face the fact that KD is not a 1 lead dawg he’s a #2 on a great team
U sound stupid ant man is 22 and when KD was 22 he was a way better player than ant rwmember KD is 35
KD isn't the #1 option though, it's Book. So as a #2 KD did his job the whole series. Book showed up in one game and that's the game they were in. If Book shows up in games 1 - 3, then we would have one one of those when Beal actually showed up.
@@blackwealthcreatorpodcast5189I honestly wished Kyrie/KD would've won together. The meshed well, but Nets majority owner [Joe Tsai] offered Kyrie an contract with unusual stipulations. Nets are laughable now and neither KD/Kyrie have a realistic chance towards a ring
@EduardoOliveira-zx9ju Me too! I know we win the year KY got hurt against the Bucks. If Harden doesn't want out I think we make it to the finals again that year. I just think at 35 KD can't be the number 1 option anymore and it hurts me as a KD fan to say that, but it's true. His age just won't allow him
@@blackwealthcreatorpodcast5189 Joe Tsai has poor reasoning skills. He allowed media peronalities to influence him to trade Kyrie. The media wanted heeadlines and ratings. After the smoke cleared, he was left with a awful team and the media was nowhere to be found🤔
KD just needs to drop the ego and start operating like his true archetype post-injury: a stretch four with occasional rim pressure and playmaking.
best basketball podcast by far. just guys talkin basketball casually, but from experience and expertise
Brandon Jennings dressed like he got a bowling addiction
B Jeans be Blowing Blowing! Enjoying his retirement
The shows conversation are getting better and better each episode!
Was Charles Barkley always right about the Suns
Don’t disrespect Kyrie like that, when Kyrie scores them points definitely matter. He be keeping the Mavs on the game
It's crazy KD went from "the best player on the planet" to some. Now they saying "stand in the corner"😂😂
He was only the best player on the planet because he was standing next to the prime warriors without them he’s pretty much Carmelo
33 points on 17 shots ain't a corner player
@@silewis9396 I'm just saying, KD said the suns wanted him there
@@michaelisaac4439 Nah, he led the league in scoring 4 times, and won MVP, got to the finals, way better and more efficient scorer than Melo in his prime.
@@silewis9396 He was sittin corner all 4th quarter when it mattered the most tho
1. I’ve always thought Durant’s points were empty calories
2. Gilbert moves the goal post. “Why don’t we hold Jaylen brown to the same standard?” JB outplayed Tatum in the finals vs the warriors. Booker scored 50 in the close out game, what more could he have done?
What points are heavy calories then? You haters always have the goofiest takes. 😂😂
@@Loub-zf2hj the ones Jamal Murray scores towards the end of games vs the lakers ,for example.
KD is passive-aggressive, which is counterproductive to great chemistry. He has always been that person.
Aka he's a cupcake like Westbrook said.
KD coming into his Ray Allen on the Celtics/Heat years of his career
He averaged 27 this year in his 17th season. Did ray allen play 17seasons
Nah that’s Klay
@@jasongordan😂💯
People acting like KD played bad this season, he didn't.
@@tari8134KD is a regular season player now.
"That's not a lot of weed" 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Nick Young talking about the Corner will never not be hilarious lol
McCants is cooking up lately what is happening
How do? The dude genuinely believes he’s making a good point by saying if Booker gets me 50 and KD 40 we’re good as if dudes can just wake up and walk out there guaranteeing a 50 piece 😂
Not for nothing, Booker scored 50 in 3 straight games right after McCants said he could do it consistently. I used to strongly dislike him, but the past month or so he’s been way more rational and right
@@dwilliams380 It’s still an idiotic point. Booker doing that in what way proves McCants point? You genuinely believe players can just go out and average 50 if they want to?
@@hardwoodthought1213 No, but it was crazy he did it right after he said it. I do believe he could average 45 with Beals shots added to his. I’m not saying McCants was completely right, but he wasn’t crazy or wrong like Gil tried to make it seem that day.
Why they put Beale on Ant especially with 5 fouls lol
He told the Wolves Coach before the series the Young boys don't play hard enough.. He was talking crazy.. Ant was killing him
They don't have no other option. Poor roster construction
@@jvtopflight796 lol what
Whoever was guarding Ant was gettin cooked anyway. Might as make the guy doing absolutely nothing on offense do something
@@DesignerBass Beal told the Wolves Coach after the Suns beat the Wolves in the last Regular season game the Wolves team don't play hard enough.. Beal was talking crazy and couldn't back that up
18:13 Brandon lips been black 😂 but the bottom one was dark pink rookie year🤣
Bradley Beal fouled the last 2 times on purpose. He gave up and played mad😂. His team knew what he did
Swaggy and Brandon on point with their analysis. KD been a role player since Golden State
It would be a nice story if KD reunite with steph and go back to GS 🔥 both struggling to win and come back together and win before its all over
Booker is good but he is over hyped .. the year the Suns made it to the finals. Every team they played in the west best player or 2nd best player was hurt !! And when they ran into a healthy team with their 2 best players available they lost!!
What's funny is Rashad is talking all that shit about Beal but wasn't close to Beal as a player.
Neither was Brandon jennings
Neither was Beal 😂😂 they all trash
Nba is NBA 💯😭
@Dipset415 No it's not. Thats like saying Nurkic and Shaq are on the same level. McCants was never close to Beal...or to Gil...or even to Brandon.
Who cares? So no one can Talk about ball?
However like P said, KD gets his numbers but he don't affect the game the same. Just like Bron, gets his numbers but less effect on the game.
MOVE AROUND 😂😂😂
You blame the front office for not getting them a true pg when Vogul asked for one. And KD ain’t failing? He didn’t do shit this whole series. He’s KD, at some point he has to takeover…no?
KD hasn't been KD for 10 years, after his prime ended.
Bradley Beal cashed out cuh. The brother is Ridley😅.Pete Rose 😂
I love when he tells a player to move around. I know exactly what he means. It can be taken as disrespect but he also means move around and get open and make space lol
Mccannts need to go ahead and make a shirt that say, No work!!! (Move Around)🤣🤣🤣
KD is still great but I feel like He's just going through the motions of the game. I don't see that "I'm getting this win" from Him. Plus I think KD is aging quickly. He doesn't look as quick as He use to. Ant Man made KD look like the older player.
He is though he’s an elite 35 year old but honestly the team is poorly crafted
KD need that Balco Bron using.
Rashad be talking about beal like he wouldnt average the same 9pts at best lol
Bro sounds dumb af talking about “I need you to average 35. I need you to average 40”
Right
Rashad coming off the bench averaging 5
Rashad not having a no trade clause getting paid 50 mill a year
He wouldn’t be getting $50 million though
McCants is wearing out that “MOVE AROUND” 😂
9:20 Why Rashad going at Bradley Beal like that?! 😅😅😅
"MOVE AROUND, NINJA!!!"
Stop giving Kd passes 😂😂
Beal is just gonna strain his back in preseason or the first five games of the next season and it’ll just be a rinse and repeat
Nick young got me dying when he started talking about Eric Gordon 😂
Good take Gil bro averaged 27 alll season and played most of the games can’t say that about the other starts everybody else spent time injured multiple times. I’m a suns fan and I really didn’t think they had a chance there was no time for chemistry
Saying IT could’ve gave him more than Brad is crazy… they always say outrageous stuff to support the points .
I mean he probably could’ve, it wouldn’t have hurt to put him in and try, but they decided to keep him on the bench while Beal had one of his worst games
You right. IT needs defense behind him. You NOT getting that from KD, Book and the rest of the guys…
IT can give you 9 points.
IT would be destroyed by Minnesota's size. He would look like a kid playing with adults out there 😂
@@markson810 I mean was Beal not killed by the wolves? Fouled out with 9 points. IT can do that easily.
Gilbert why do you always do that…… KD lost! Why you always making excuses for him it’s disgusting! He got swept twice in the first round last 2 out of 3 years. He deserves blame just like every other superstar
KD swept lebron in 2018 nba finals and won finals mvp. Lebron got swept shaq got swept jordan got swept
Nick and Gil don’t wanna bash Beal cause they was all Wizards.. But the way Beal played that sht was disappointing af. I was hoping he go off smh.
50m a year to put up g league numbers. dude can F off the team frfr. A g leaguer filling in for a bench spot puts as much effort and points as this dude without trying
I love when Mccants and Gil argue
Where are all the NBA Analysts who said th Suns were gonna win the chip. saying that they don,t need a point guard and a big man because Durant, Booker and Beal , all perimeter players ,would be a nuclear bomb. lol. They aint winning anything unless Durant gains 50 pounds shifts into a PF/C spot and turns into Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
That means Durant still isn't a playmaker, so they still wouldn't win.
This Suns team is a carbon copy of the KD-Nets. It didn't even require any predictions from the analysts on how this season will go.
The Suns players say that they can somehow improve, and that's a different subject.
What's Gil saying man?!
Eric Gordon catchin strays
Y’all talked wolves 20 seconds appreciate yall 🎉
This is about the Wolves not the Suns. They ran into the best team in the NBA, they’ll be alright.

Dawg you trippin with all due respect
@@chulow9024 You may be right. But his track record says otherwise
@pacmeezy4705 he's no leader by any means. But a bum.... thats just crazy talk imho. I don't see him as a guy that wants to lead thou, he just wants to play basketball. People want him because he's so good to be a leader. He's like Iggy was.
Three scorers, zero leaders
You don't know what a leader is.
*Shout out to that BEAUTIFUL PERU SOCCER JERSEY!!!🔥🔥🔥❤🇵🇪
Lmfaoo " MOVE AROUND"
I'm not going to hold you Gil really went for the scapegoat and thought of Jaylen Brown out of nowhere and really try to make the equivalency because they're both the number two option that the scoring number should be the same know it's on an individual level and he knows that
JB outplayed Tatum in the finals. If Tatum could have matched what Jb did the first few games they would’ve won a championship. Similar to how Durant couldn’t match Westbrook’s impact when they blew the 3-1 lead.
STOP GIVING KD A PASS
Giving KD a pass ??? Did you say that when they said bronny was a draft pick
Beal EARNED THIS BLAME
@@jasongordan how is that remotely relevant
