Let's not forget. It needs to be remembered. Kyrie is called controversial for not taking the jab, while living in New York, and that city not allowing him to play home games. He turned out to be right. That's on them.
Not sure you can say he was "right" but I respect his choices. The analysts were definitely hyperbolic about it but we all just wanted to see him play.
@@ThiagoRieversChaves he’s just a professional shit stirrer, a racist clown and a knicks homer. Can’t stand that windbag - just the other day he said he’d take Brunson over Luka
Luka Dončić is a freaking beast! This guy is a generational talent, and it's ridiculous that people are still trying to downplay him. He's the real deal, and he's carrying his team to the top. He's got the skills, the heart, and the brains. He's got everything you need to be an MVP. Give him the respect he deserves! This guy is going to be a legend. Period.
Not sure about that. Best case is that they give him the Jokic treatment, reluctantly praise him when pressured or put on the spot, but revert back to the default position of ignoring him while breathlessly promoting the next "star."
@@avrivah1101 Difference is Luka is more exciting to watch so the fans like him more, so it's hard for them to ignore that. He got the social media hype unlike Jokic.
Luka is the MVP,he brought Kyrie Irving back to life ,Kyrie is looking like a saint now when the media hated him.They got no clue what a force Luka is.
It all comes down to the Network/Media not being able to swallow the fact that the best basketball player in the world right now is not a product of American Basketball but "European Basketball"... Regardless of origin or style, numbers don't lie!
Why would they care about that? Adam Silver said that 75% of the NBA viewership comes from outside the USA. (What players are they marketing to that audience?) The revenue in the league is at an all time high. Why would the networks care? If the top player is European. This is a projected narrative. There’s nothing that you can correlate to this. The same media that has vilified American players (Kyrie) The same media that has voted Luka first team All-NBA for 5 seasons. Jokic three of past four MVP’s… The other two players who’ve won aren’t American players. This made up take is fans in their emotions for placing value in the Stephen A Smiths of the world, the Kendrick Perkins, or the other media cronies … what do you expect when those people are clearly there as entertainment value only. Grow up. Nobody is hating or biased.
Yep you beat up on a wounded wore out team that had their finals against the Champs !!! Hahahaha fn clowns acting like you somebody ...but Boston gonna teach you a lesson
I mean he knows what he sees 🤣🤣 just like us, problem tho is he really aint a analyst he a sports interviewer so he speak with feelings because half these people told him no for a interview after he got famo but told a baddie yes so he was forced to be analyst lol now talks shit on any player who said no to a interview lol i listen to everyone but him most time, football i listen to him but shit he just a interviewer frfr i listen to him when he talks about business parts of the game he knows that because he business mind.. he doesn't like kyrie because he was a pet for his job and got vaxxed and kyrie didn't 😅 he acted like kyrie needed to play to provide for his family then seen Kyrie was still surviving and changed it to he isn't being a good role model lol 😅 look here that's a perfect role model though stand for what u believe. He dont like Luka because defense he only gets selected all nba for points scored and stephen A hates it lol 😆 😂. My thing is i feel the no defense thing but but sometimes you gotta stfu that man scores so much the team can survive a shootout with any and every body and adding uncle drew skills to the mf 😂 shit he gone score more because kyrie dribbles demand double team and Stephen A gone hate more of it lol by nxt yr he will be on luka nuts to he already on kyries lol
The metrics Stephen A used to not rank Luka among his top 5 players is unfounded and bias. I presumed Kyrie and Luka is the best duo in NBA now. They overcame all the challenges to win the Western Conference finals.
Agreed. Hating on Luka is fashionable, because he is not the next american-nice-boy-hero that the media and the league itself want to promote. But then basketball happens and puts everyone in their place.
Stephen Ass is the one who needs to retire,he has no right to judge anybody he doesn't know a dam thing about desire,will power are the intangible heart,the world has it all wrong they pick men for there size there speed when what counts most is a man's heart.
I don't understand these analysts? Whay Stephanie A is so hatefully? Dalas is on fire, and the whole team is amazing!!!! They deserves the respect like all before them. F....k these analysts who cant drible.
He isnt afraid of nobody, he knows how things run in europe, on court and on stands..where players play with brains and not force and fans live for their clubs..nba show is just a joke against eu basketball..joker also knows that..nobody can catch them and they are not afraid of any player and especially no fans😂😂😂
Stephen A. retired today. But i tell you, loud and clear and with NO hesitation that he plans a comeback as the mis-leading highschool netball analyst for the playdowns at the easter islands.
Kyrie is one of the best and just needed to get on a team where he feels comfortable. It’s no secret now that the Mavericks is that team. The same with the other guys. They all play together like a well oiled machine, and they have Luka, for the most part, to thank for it. I’ve never seen anyone with a keener eye on the basket and such impressive skills and knowledge of the game at that age. They are a team to be feared and revered. Love the Mavs! #77 👍🥇 WooHoo!
To be fair, Kyrie was not worth all the drama in Brooklyn and Boston, but there hasn’t been any drama in Dallas. Whatever changed for him has worked and he has been a great addition.
This is all the same media though that knew Luka was a euro league superstar though and still pushed the narrative that he shouldn’t be a top nba draft pick
Luka is the #1 look at numbers and nobody can stop him he always gets his period.. Lively is going to be a superstar with Luka and Kyrie a few more pieces ..
I hear people complain about Luka taking hard 3s all the time. A prerequisite for the rest of his game is stretching the floor... you have to take those. The drive, the midrange, and the three must all carry credible threat.
"They made us look like fools!" The exact same words that Smith used on the toronto raptors when he had them eliminated in his mind. Guess its a good sign for the MAVS...
You had a slight mix up at the beginning, Dallas didn’t draft Dereck Lively II they drafted Cason Wallace with the 10th pick and OKC drafted Lively II with the 12th pick and traded him to Dallas for Cason
As a non American trying to follow NBA, the media coverage just gets on my nerves every single time. It's so cringeworthy. These people have personal biases and can't really analyze the sport properly.
You are correct. The sport has been given over to racists who promote only black, hip hop influenced athletes. They ridicule white players at every turn. They believe it is some sort of repetition for slavery.
If you haven’t seen it everyone should research SAS past before he became an “analyst “. He’s been kicked out of a few locker rooms. Outright banned from some baseball organizations
I not really a fan of Kyrie the person but you can't doubt his skill as a player... guess he just needed the right team around him. Being the backup to a new star in the NBA he's fit into the roll perfectly. I've not watched many Boston games this year but familiar with them from previous years and this finals series could easily go either way. Kyrie looks hungry for another ring and Luka is playing at an MVP level. However it pans out this finals is gonna be a great series.
I love how Stephen A hates Dallas teams, especially the Cowboys. This is because the Cowboys are not a NY team. If the Cowboys or Mavs were from NY he would sing their praises every day.
Having watched nba medias like Inside the nba, undisputed and all that for the last 3 years, its clear how they always pushing some hot takes and antagonizing players that take the spotlight from their goto favorites names like Curry and Lebron, Jokic and Booker, hopefully GMs stop having those big mouths in the equation when they plan trades
What's up with calling a good player unatheletic? It all comes down to if you are making shots or not. If you are killing it , you obviously have enough athleticism.
My gut tells me Mavs are going to win this. I think Luka is going to outplay Tatum. Tatum is good but when he chokes he’s terrible and that’s the same with brown and Gafford is going to be protecting the rim from these guys they like to drive in for lay ups and dunks. If they can put pressure on on the perimeter and get Boston to miss 3’s they will have a chance at winning.
Stephen A should retire from analyzing basketball
Please and sorry Keyshawn 's ass with him both are thrash
He should change career to blowing balloons.
He should change his career to blowing balloons
100% Kyrie better is at his job then Stephen A, mofo spent too much trapped in studio with lifelong contrarian and joykill Bayless
My sentiments exactly.
Let's not forget. It needs to be remembered. Kyrie is called controversial for not taking the jab, while living in New York, and that city not allowing him to play home games. He turned out to be right. That's on them.
Not sure you can say he was "right" but I respect his choices. The analysts were definitely hyperbolic about it but we all just wanted to see him play.
Stephen A. never played basketball for a day in his life and we all know it. But now i think that he has never watched a basketball game at all.
@ThiagoRieversChaves he's looking a lot like Skip Bayless with his Lebron hate lol but controversy keeps you relevant
The most embarrassing part is that he played college ball😅😂
@@CyTolliver For about 3 seconds.
@@ThiagoRieversChaves he’s just a professional shit stirrer, a racist clown and a knicks homer. Can’t stand that windbag - just the other day he said he’d take Brunson over Luka
Stephen A was an accomplished HS and College scoring phenom despite there being zero game footage of any ot it @CyTolliver
I'm not sure what's worse. Nails on a chalkboard or listening to Stephen A Smith talk.
the latter
Only Skip Bayless is worse.
He enjoys making bold statements with no thought at all.
Nails on a chalkboard is like ASMR compared to him
BOTH!
I'm embarrassed for Stephen A
Stephen A smith seems he needed mental help.. he's been talking non sense all this years
Try every year!!
Luka is a unique player,,.
Luka has always played against stacked teams while not having a stacked team
FACTS.
ironicly he grew up playing on the most stacked team in real madrid.
Yup meanwhile they worship LBJ who played trash
@@diegochavez6203 And Lebum uses PED'S.
I think SAS should announce HIS retirement today.
HE SHOULD F****RETIRE STEPHEN A MOTHER F****
Omgosh I cannot stand to listen to his voice. Someone already said it, but yes he needs to retire
Stephen A. Needs to be fired. Then bring max back
Max is just straight up smarter. That's why A didn't want him around anymore, he was embarassing him in time with getting too much predictions correct

He complains too much and is too combative
Correct spelling of Luka's last name ,👏👏👍 !😅
Now that he has Kyrie there to share the load, Luka can do whatever he wants on the court 💪🏾
Stephen A makes worst forecats than weathermen !_! He'll be riding Luka's and Kyrie's jocks If they win the chip ^_^
facts
💯!!

Amen 🙏 luka is just like Larry bird ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😮😊

HAHAHAHAHA!
Irving has brought the fire. Him and Doncic are a great duo

It's so satisfying to see Kyre and Luka prove all the "experts" wrong. I hope they win it all this year! 👍

Masterful made video. Really enjoyed it. Thanks
Kyrie playing with Luka is like kyrie playing with Lebron I can definitely see a championship
Disrespecting Luca in TV is just a move to get more clicks and attention = more money.
Agreed. Hating on Luka is fashionable, because he is not the next american-nice-boy-hero that the media and the league itself want to promote. But then basketball happens and puts everyone in their place.
Stephen should take more care with his opinions, otherwise they'll keep him in closed ward @General Hospital.
he is the clark of the NBA..they leave him out and hate him..I'm talking bout luka
Stephen Ass is the one who needs to retire,he has no right to judge anybody he doesn't know a dam thing about desire,will power are the intangible heart,the world has it all wrong they pick men for there size there speed when what counts most is a man's heart.
Stephen a should retire the most biased controversial absolutely nonsense reviews by him
He's been at it far too long.
My boi sounds like he was AI generated
💯
Stephen A is a joke
Luka is out of control and the league needs to severely punish him, by giving him Jokic's MVP trophy! 😡
Can someone please put together a video of Stephen A making idiotic predictions and being proven wrong. And don't leave out his obvious racism.
Jp.
You have my vote 🗳 😅
Last year it was Jokic this year it's Doncic when they are going to learn
You said it right- so called experts😂😂😂😂
I don't understand these analysts? Whay Stephanie A is so hatefully?
Dalas is on fire, and the whole team is amazing!!!!
They deserves the respect like all before them.

When is ESPN and it's viewing audience gonna figure it out that Stephen A is a bloviating fool?
I think they keep going to him because of his demeanor and polarizing bs
Made Rudy look like a new born deer, those wobbly legs 😂 poor Bambi
I did notice the Joker and Luca bulls have extraordinary passing skills much better than the NBA not very many people passed like them
Doncic is a clutch shooting ice cold assassin. Kyrie is similar as well. When its the last minute, there are fewer players you can trust.
To be fair, Kyrie was not worth all the drama in Brooklyn and Boston, but there hasn’t been any drama in Dallas. Whatever changed for him has worked and he has been a great addition.
Stephen A is a clown analysis.
11:00 he never said he had figured him out 😂
Let’s go Luka and Kyrie! Win the 2024 Finals!
Time FOR STEVEN A to finally RETIRE!
Who concurs??
Stephen A sets his self up🤔 real talk court jester for sure!
Screamin A Shit?
Stephen is A racist Smith.
At the end of the day its always great when kyrie is happy❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😮😊
Stephanie gets to emotional and is too opinionated, so he gets shi wrong and talks alot of smack ,,, alot of back peddling too

Luka is the #1 look at numbers and nobody can stop him he always gets his period.. Lively is going to be a superstar with Luka and Kyrie a few more pieces ..
That’s what we call GAME WELL PLANNED,,,NICE STRATEGY DALLAS,!!!
Honestly has Stephen A ever been right?
🤔🤔🤔
they underestimated mark Cuban... he was plotting this all alone
Let's start #stepheasmithshouldretier
Kyrie is no can of sauerkraut. They are both big time Hall-of- Famers.
I hear people complain about Luka taking hard 3s all the time. A prerequisite for the rest of his game is stretching the floor... you have to take those. The drive, the midrange, and the three must all carry credible threat.
"They made us look like fools!"

Guess its a good sign for the MAVS...
Its all nice. But job is not finished
isnt kyrie now 14-1 they lost the close out game
I knew it from the night he was drafted he will be GOAT…didnt know he will be GOAT with 25 years😮
Stephen A, Nick Wright and Colin Heard should only comment on Checkers or Volleyball 😅
Ill say the same as others, Kyrie was always great to watch and was it not for the off court dramas nobody can really diss him about his bball skills
S.A.S is one of those garden tool things.. What is it called?
Used in the same way as a rake.Has 3 letters in it's name and put back in the shed when your done using it.

how can this SAS expert earn so much money every day by talking so much rubbish
CZcams posters are better NBA Analysts than Smith
Stephen... retire asap...it's a must..give respect.
If you haven’t seen it everyone should research SAS past before he became an “analyst “. He’s been kicked out of a few locker rooms. Outright banned from some baseball organizations
Why would he say Kyrie should retire? That just wasn’t very smart.
Luka is 🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾
Steven A never look at Kylie like human being
You know what!! I love ❤Kyrie!! Always have a Luka is awesome. I really want the Mavs to win.

SAS: If you had to choose between your body's health & the NBA, which would you "PRIORITIZE"? I loved Kyrie's decision
And Luka did it all with only one healthy leg
Kyrie caliber is the same to Steph 😂😂😂
