"I'm going to disagree with you Max, but not because I really disagree"
Sums up what First Take is very well.
Or every debate show.
Well yea. It is a debate show.
@@brockontop yea usually u dont start a debate if you agree with the person you're talking to???
I thought u were making a joke. Minutes later, it's a quote from this idiot lol
bwbh117 😂😂😂😂😂
James Dolan had a lay up to gain some positive press and he somehow manages to screw it up
I mean seriously! How do you air ball a layup?! Smh.
I want to make as much money as possible. Who cares about press when you can make money
Ashlee Long Dolan did his best flight impression
@@idekanymore9599 Lmao!!
You had to bring that up right? Still hurts man.
At this point Dolan is keeping the Knicks outta spite
He's a billionaire he doesn't care
Yep
Nah he is keeping the Knicks because the team still somehow makes him money.
YDINO can’t take it with him when he dies🤷♂️
As a businessman he'd be an idiot to sell the knicks.
When you see James Dolan next to Stephen a Smith or Max on a ESPN thumbnail , it’s always a automatic click for me
Facts. The entertainment quality is crazy on these lol
Yep!! Lol
Lmao faxx. Especially Maxx starts roasting James Dolan
Facts lol
Lmao
Kd and kyrie made the right choice
Agreed
Maybe Kyrie should've stayed with LeBron though. LeBron would've stayed in Cleveland and they would've won the Chip last year with the injuries that Golden State had.
Agreed
@@elijahruderman Lebron was leaving anyways and you dont know if the Cavs wouldve beaten the Raptors anyways. That Raptors team was stacked with Kawhi 10 deep. The Cavs couldn't figure out their offense once Lebron went to the bench.
There’s no guarantees that GS would be injured.
"We insist that all our employees breathe oxygen"
Fax, Max. 😂🤦🏿♂️
😂😂
“I’m gonna disagree with you max but not bc I disagree”
🤣🤣🤣
Peak Stephan A with that quote.
@J Paight boomer
J P stfu it was funny
He disagreed with him just because. Literally.
The state of sports media in 2020. It’s ridiculous
He basically said be at work on time and be quiet
Ex-act-ly 😑
Yeah like China told lebron and the NBA shut up and dribble
Max not everyone wants to be a SJW.
Players will play where the money is. Just like they play in China but keep quiet when injustice and oppression is taking place as they play in that country.
@@jlar1984 $$ dollars
Man wrote a whole essay and said absolutely nothing 😂
It’s what he does for every situation lmao. Whole lotta nothing
Exactly!!! 🎯 🎯 🎯
Lmao ikr
When you're stuck at 4 pages but the assignment still needs 6 more
So are you saying the Knicks ARE NOT a garbage organization? Dolan is a trash owner. You disagreeing with that? Idiot.
“I’m gonna disagree with you max but not because I really disagree,” at this point SAS is just trolling 😂😂😂
Must be in their contracts to disagree even if they really don't
Kenny aka TI it’s not really a debate if they have no rebuttals lol
3:56 basically this show
Stephen A be wildin lol
If you still a Knicks fan, I can't help you anymore smh
😂😂🤣🤣
i dont need help ima knicks fan for life
Knicks fan forever bruh.
@@mikebreezy0587 We had Porzingis and he tore his ACL lol
@@mikebreezy0587 so you want me to bandwagon to another team the wait makes the victories better
Sell the Team Dolan.
No
@@depressedknicksfan2580 YES
He refuses too do that 😖
I hope he doesn't. As a Nets fan, I will enjoy my popcorn while watching the Nets surpass the Knicks in every area including championships under Dolan era
Roy Batty man nets aint going nowhere either lol
Gotdamn Max Kellerman!!! Bravo sir! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
James Dolan:"We at Madison Square Garden stand by our values of a respectful and peaceful workplace".
Me Inserts clip of Oakley being forcefully removed from Msg arena. 😂
Same clip where Oakley is acting like an out of control animal?? 😂
@@KokoTheGorilla69 before after he was assaulted first? You seriously defending dolan over oakley?
Yikes smh
& spike lee hahah
@@KokoTheGorilla69 your a clown
Ever since Dolan banned Oakley, I never step foot in the garden.
James Dolan looks like that one dude who no one liked in high school for good and obvious reasons
Michael Robertson well hopefully you don’t live in the US because then you’re outnumbered by us white people by about 80%
He's James L. Dolan. And the L stands for LOSER!👎👎👎👎👎👎
"We insist that our employees breathe air" LMAO
The Knicks were already in the sewer lmao 😂😂🤣🤣
That had me dying 🤣
Dolan manages to damage his image more and more everytime
Dolan got rich the old fashion way: He Inherited it from his father!!
Jay Bird not one hard working bone in his body
That is a crime? and then you wonder.
90% of all wealth is inherited
And so did jeanie buss, Carl McNair nd many others. When jerry jones dies, stephen jones is the owner. When tom benson died Gayle benson his wife became the owner. She got it handed to her. When vince McMahon dies, his children stephanie and Shane will take over. So fckin what. I laugh everytime I hear ppl say Dolan got the team handed to him. So has every other rich kid in this country. Didnt the orange guy in office rn inherit stuff from his parents as well? I love when ppl say that to hate cuz they're less fortunate
LITERALLY THEE WORST OWNER IN SPORTS HISTORY
Sterling was worse
LaMelo needs to be on the phone when his agent right now telling them the only New York teams I wanna go to are the Nets or Liberty
Jordan Davis W for the Knicks
lmao he don't want to go to the nets they got no media coverage no bright lights he still want to go to the knicks or a big team
and the liberty is a wnba team
Lmao he said the Liberty
scot msp That’s the joke .
Max is a beast!👏🏾
Max Is a puppet fam....he's paid to play devils advocate
D Chan it’s almost like this show is a argumentative show and the two main players are supposed to have opposing views...
Max is an idiot. There's nothing wrong with saying no comment. Dolan will be blasted regardless of what he says.
3:31 you know max wanted to say something stronger than "no kidding Sherlock" 🤣
It's a shame Dolan gotta own a team that plays in New York. Wish he was in North Dakota somewhere. The city is too diverse for Dolan to be doing this
You’re right
Eric Jefferson it’s probably the tourist that visit that come to watch them play. I do understand and agree with you point though.
@Eric Jefferson I don't attend games lol
The minute the knicks get better fans will pack the house. That’s 100% reality. Everything else is bluster while they suck
Stephen A you can agree with max this time 🙄
Stephen A not black 🤦🏾♂️
It’s his job to disagree.
Max: The sky is blue
Stephen A Smith: I'm gonna have to disagree with you max, the sky is baby blue... 😑😑
I know this is a serious topic but your comment literally made me laugh out loud 😂😂😂✊🏽
Nonono that's because of the light refraction by the sun actually it's closer indigo or dark purple to black.
💯💯😂
🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 Stephen A Smith : I’m gonna disagree with you , even tho I agree with you lol this man
If tone deaf was a person, it’d be James Dolan
Was that Dolan's response to a question, or a statement he released on his own? If he released his own statement, what's the point in basically saying we'll stay silent about this issue?
FACTS
Yup, he doesn't even know when it's time for him to take a S...t!!!
Man, I called max a knicks traitor for years but I may actually start agreeing with him. I don't think I can support this team anymore after 30+ years
nutz2001 change your wife, change your politics, change your religion, change your name etc one thing you don’t do is change your team
“I’m gonna disagree with you, Max... but not because I really disagree (ya’ feel me)” 🤔🤔🤔
Its funny because it encapsulates SAS... but at the same time uts possible to agree 90% but want to add nuance.
@@chenzomutumbo9140 7th 6 6th o6
thats as close as SAS is gunna come to saying i totally agree
"I'm gonna disagree with you, Max. But not because I really disagree."
I like Max & Stephen A, but they pretty much confirmed that First Take is kayfabed.
I mean yea its a debate show. No debate if you agree
You never heard of for arguments sake ?
But Bret screwed Bret
sooooo is molly fired👀??? bc im loving laura rn🥰
man i dont know, when i heard laura read dolan's tone def speech, i wondered "ok this is now two weeks, stephen a is back, and normally they would be on location at the finals right now". hmmmmm🤔
I heard Stephen a doesn't really like molly
@@delonjuan Molly doesn't really like Molly
Keep her on load management more often!
What's her last name
The NBA needs to "donald Sterling" him out of the league.
Because you disagree with his opinion? How many of your friends stole some Js this past week?
Tyler Short pretty sure there’s another reason why he should be out, but if that’s the answer you got, ok
SAS: “I agree with you Max but I disagree”😭😭😭😭
What’s new 😂
🤣🤣
😆
Just put it on a t shirt at this point. 😭😭
@@FIEFA22_ 🤣🤣
I'm done with the Knicks as long as Dolan is in charge! DONE!!!!
@Samuel Fernandezstep 1. racist act in America
Step 2.riot "protest"
Step 3. Make commercials and statements about how to make "change"
Step 4. Repeat.
They should've brought in Spike Lee and Charles Oakley for this segment.
Max Kellerman is ALWAYS welcomed at my dinner table! 💯
SAS never brings anything super valuable/ thoughtfully critical to a conversation. Max is the only reason i watched this
Not speaking up when you know something is wrong makes you just as guilty 🤷🏾♂️
Speaking up because you want "likes" on social media is far more pathetic
“It’s a garbage organization” Max, that was the best take you’ve had this year. Thank you!
Max making all the right points. Disdain and disgust with Knicks is well earned.
As a Knicks fan this is the last straw. How dumb can this guy be. They make it harder and harder to root for this team
Just look how well this show flows without big mouthy Molly cutting others off and interjecting herself. Just look how happy max is.
Never that serious fam ...
No body looks for sports teams to make political comments.
ESPN this is why you are a joke these days.
So why u click the video
Yes. They do. They get the eyes of the most people, and it's also their right. People like you say you believe what the flag stands for, but you never practice what you preach. Hypocrisy.
It's almost impossible for me to continue to support the Knicks at this point. Makes me sad.
You don't need to be qualified to know that police brutality and racism is WRONG! If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. If Dolan doesn't wanna help fix the problem that's fine, but don't stop the rest of your organization from doing the right thing.
“Garbage organization” love Max 😂
WE NEED TO HAVE ALL OUR NBA PLAYETSRS AND NFL PLAYERS BOYCOTTING THE ENTIRE SEASON.. UNTILL ALL 4 OFFICERS HAVE BEEN CHARGED AND CONVICTED...
Why does it matter if Dolan didnt make a statement? It doesn’t add or deduct from the overall situation in America.
We needed Stephen A to speak on this
Knicks continue to be an embarrassment
White Silence is Compliance!
Yup until a black person tells me to shut up because I could never understand what they go through so I shouldn't have anything to say about it. 👍
Stupid slogan. You're just saying it because it rhymes and you heard it on TV.
SAS: "I'm going to disagree with you max, not because I disagree though"
Who knew that you could disagree with a person while agreeing with them on what you're disagreeing with them about.🤔 But my guy Stephen A. Smith did, and he made all the sense in the world.
All these team owners from the NFL or NBA have no souls. Traded it a long time ago.
Michael jordan spoke up
He said a bunch of nothing
I've had this saying for years and it STILL applies to just about any situation today: People say a lot without saying a lot.
Stephen a always do this. Always lets me down when it comes to social issues
ESPN = THE CNN OF SPORTS
Do you know what he is right he is not qualified to say anything about the race relationships in America because he is ignorant so he should keep quiet
Max brings it all day, everyday.
This still won’t be enough to get rid of Dolan no matter how much they cry 😔
What does it matter at the end of the day! I’d rather an organization to say nothing as opposed to putting its foot in its mouth 🤷🏾♂️
So how do you feel about an organization doin both since that's what the Knicks just did....?
I call them crocodile tears...
They don't really care about black people
Anyone else not want politics involved in their sports? I'm ok with someone minding their business and keeping a professional attitude when others don't. You shouldn't be hated for voicing your opinion or withholding your opinion.
100% agree. We would tune in to a news station if i wanted to hear about this stuff.
Voicing your opinion shouldn’t degrade others.
I have no problem with it. I do have a problem with people who act like every athlete who doesn’t get political is somehow bad. That has to stop. I’m disgusted by our president, but we all know if any athlete spoke out in his defense these same media types would crucify them for “speaking out” politically. I wish ESPN talking heads would be honest and say they want athletes to speak out on liberal causes.
Its not politics...its human rights
JLNC use your platform for the greater good... if you don’t like it, why’d you click...?
Max, you are the truth!!
Max absolutely nailed this one. The oxygen comment had me rolling 😂😂
dolan acting like the nba when the china thing happened... silent
Max lost me at the end of this segment lol. Let the dude play his bad blues music lol
Loool he made some very good points just went a bit off track at the end 😂
3:55 Stephen "I'm gonna disagree with you Max, but not because I really disagree" Smith
Well said again MAX!
Isn’t Dolan Trump’s friend?
He’s a joke !!!! I love the knicks but I Pray any meaningful and talented player never go their until he sells the team
Why pray that ? Why not pray that Dolan leaves the team lol
Man Unido you just wake up and wanna disagree with anything huh ? 🤨
Because Dolans some trash which makes the team some trash like they said since he’s been the owner they have sucked and sucked bad !!!
I believe this is the first time I ever agree with Max Kellerman.
I absolutely love Max talking about the Knicks. Its almost like roasting.
"I'm gonna disagree with you max, but not because I really disagree" - SAS 😂😂😂
"I'm gonna disagree with you max, but not because i really disagree" - Stephen A. Smith ladies and gentlemen
love Max on this one
Dear Espn, finish the segment.
Lebron gave almost the same speech on China a few months ago
Didn't expect anything less. Exactly what I expected.
Everybody: "How you air ball a layup!??'
Dolan: "Hold my team.."
Wait... are we prosecuting someone their right to remain silent?
Max is a very Smart Person
Silence = Complicity
What is he supposed to say?
Stephen "I gonna disagree not because I really disagree" A. Smith. 😂
Lmao love every time max talk about Dolan. Bruh is ruthless 😭
Love what he said.
Max : water is needed to survive
SAS : I'm gonna disagree with you on that Max.
Picking and choosing which lives matter is detrimental to the cause. Thousands of lives destroyed in protest of the loss of another. That a very convoluted message to send.
i for one thoroughly enjoyed max’s ted talk
Gotta say, right from the get go Max was on point.
Just here to say we love max WE SEE YOU
You can't even be quiet anymore lol no matter what they will find a way to ridicule you 😂😂😂
2:14 “We insist all our employees breathe oxygen” lol
Moderator looks like Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe from the TV Show Friends) lol
So, now the media is forcing individuals to make a comment?
Is it me or the sound is fuzzy with a weird buzzing noise
I like it. Nobody is obligated to say anything about anything. When everyone else is saying pretty much the same cookie-cutter platitudes, it becomes less meaningful.
