Perk just doesn't like the Warriors and Curry. He's the same guy who said they wouldn't win in the next 4-5 years. đ€Ł
Naw fam I canât really say that and Iâm a steph fan Perk bout the only one who calling step a top 5 all time so it canât be hate

I absolutely love the way Stephen A handled this question. Spitting game to perk and jwill then going ham for GSW đ€Ł
Like Eminem in 8 Mile they couldn't respond with anything đđđđ
warriors Champions again next year and the year after that
Yes that was class act and great entertainment
Bro both of them didnât answer the question đ€Łđ€Ł
đđđ
Stephen A. is brilliant. He expertly relaxes his guests, reminding them that itâs all in good fun, gives props, and then of course BLASTS OUT âI WAS RIGHT AND YâALL WERE WRONG!â HAHAHA! He is so smart and entertaining!
ahhahahahahahah yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh that's his trademark hahahahahahahah
Thats y he make 10M per year
I see through your disguise Stephen A. you cannot fool me.
That's how you let the guard down. đ.
I wonder what James Harden is doing right now
This is what you will respect from Steven A, while perk gets all serious and grumpy not wanting to be made fun off, Steven A highlighted on things Perk got right as well on a day to day basis. He emphasized the reality that they can all be wrong often times. Personally it was great to see Steven A to handle the things with class with co-anchors. God bless everyone and hope you have a wonderful and blessed filled week ahead!
Kendrick Perkins has proven time and time again that he has no idea what he is talking about...
lol..he is talking about next year and doesn't admit about this year win!
Bro picked suns in 6 last year đ. Then had to apologize to that boy Giannis. Perk needs to take a year off from making picks
đ” Iâm dead. I can see someone mimicking his laugh reading this comment.
He still not over "You ain't playing tonight".
đđđ
Stephen A is absolutely correct. If they stay healthy and players such as Poole get better etc golden state will be a serious contender AGAIN
It's also beacuse I see Wiseman being very good when healthy next season. Definitely favorite to win again but still anything could happen.
Dubs ain't winning title. C's fin get dey Revenge in Playoffs. Healthy Nets team is winning title.
Celtics need a bench that 7 man rotation ain't going to cut it.
@@NFLNICKLEE1 you people still haven't learned your lesson. They were doubted this year, look who won? History tends to repeat itself lol.
Again? They just won. They ARE the most serious contender already. Lets just hope he's right about them winning next year!
"memphis is a different beast"
"Mavericks will end this lucky run"
"Boston will show them true defense"
Keep doubting the dubs so we can keep winning
crazy that the warriors defense was on par if not BETTER than the boston celtics, i mean what was Marcus Smart doing out there? Clamping curry? Huge shoutout to Rob Williams tho that man is MENACE in the paint
Nobody thought that about the mavs you tripping
@@sofus47 shhhhhhh doesnât fit the narrative
Nobody's even Doubting them...People did doubt them when Thomas was injured..and what did the Dubs Win?? NOTHING....
@@Grandmatabby They won Championship lmao
"its ok to be wrong" and thats what makes Stephen A great
Every body can be wrong but less than Perks.
Boston was suppose to be their hardest test, Warriors were suppose to be too small. Warriors are excellent offensively and defensively.

Lol we know. Heâs always wrong.
I mean he does get paid off predictions wrong... When he predicts a team will win, we bet for the team against them
Exactly đ
ALWAYS
He gets paid to be wrong with his dummy predictions or just being a bozo who donât like the warriors
Iâm not a warriors fan but this team has been run so perfectly theyâre dangerous for years to come.. literally the gold standard.
Teams need to try and copy this. Because this is elite
yea they can copy it if they can get dell and Sonya to go back 34 years and due a repeat. Da GOAT!! (30) Steph Curry
They've been copying and yet they're always a step behind
In his post victory interview Steph said âNobody thought weâd be hereâ I immediately thought âStephen A. didâ. He called this one

Stephen A is one of the very few sports analysts who never wavered in his belief on Warriors.
When the Ownerâs sells a piece of the Team & the Stadium just to make money to keep the team together, it just shows the love , brotherhood and respect from the Owners down to the Players is amazing
In an age where some owners treat their teams as nothing but personal ATMs itâs outstanding to see this. Meanwhile the warriors will be worth BILLIONS more in the long run.
The worriers win on the biggest stage because the whole team from the top, owners, players, bench , all buying in, when we play as a team! To me, this last Finals, shows , the draft , trades, sets the tone of going all in and trusting your instincts,all other teams are trying to buy a Final's Ring!
People didn't give the Warriors enough respect. They were the number 1 defense until Draymond Green got injured. They have a great coach, a winning culture, a great roster, a great front office. Those who despise the Warriors again are gonna regret it.
Mmmmmmm
Well maybe not regret. But be in constant misery lmao
Halfway through the season when I saw the Warriors getting healthy and knowing their toughest competition would be the Suns, I was pretty confident they were going to win the West. I had no clue who was coming out of the East so I didn't pick them to win it all confidently, but I was pretty sure they would win the West.
no they werent my brother, actually the eastb held that title of best defensive team all year maybe till the playoffs
first it was theBulls till Covid and Injuries took part, then i believe it was Mil. or the Heat and then them Celtic boys took that title so nooooo dont do that, they never had that my dude

He mentioned all the game planning and film study that teams do to prepare for them⊠but once youâre actually playing them the Warriors morph to become whatever you didnât expect and the stuff you prepared for is harder to execute than imagined. This is due to underrated coaching and determination and belief in one another that comes from a culture of togetherness and confidence building.

Will agree with Stephen A on this one. It's bout time to give credit where credit is due. The Warriors deserve their flowers. They earned this chip, and they're not yet done. They'll just keep getting better and better, and now they have the confidence moving forward. A HEALTHY Warriors have a really big chance of a repeat next season, dynasty continues.
Didn't realize that Poole and Wiggins became a factor for the Warriors so I didn't realized how much of a threat Warriors would be plus Steph Curry still playing at an MVP level his current age.
Yâall definitely need to appreciate SAS today everybody in they feelings mad about they wrong picks but he reminded everyone itâs all fun and games no need for all the negativity
đŻ
Can't believe Stephen A. had to be the voice of reason here even though he had the absolute right to rub it in their faces. This is why he get paid top dollar by the Network.
Stephen earned it. He stood by the Warriors when everyone else started to doubt them. Give this man a louder microphone for his victory parade.
Not a lot of people tuned in sadly
Stephen A Smith always stood by the warriors since 2015 đđ dudeâs a fanboy of Steph and the warriors. Dude predicted the warriors to sweep the raptors âŠ. then makes excuses for why Bron beat the warriors in 2016

âGentlemen, you canât fight in here! This is the War Room!â - President Merkin Muffley
Stephen A Smith DOES NOT get enough CREDIT !!! He knows his s#*!
I remember watching First Take at the very beginning of the nba season last yr (it actually may have even been before the season started), Stephen A picked the Warriors from day one. Nobody was talking about them and he warned everybody. It was a great pick !!
Jay's face at stephen saying he's 6'1 lmao
"it sounds good"
Hahaha I missed that
curry will have 6 titles
no one talks about GPII and how important he was in changing the momentum through out the finals. Kerr saw his team slippin and put him in at the right times to throw the Celtics off rhythm especially with their star players Brown and Tatum. He's going to be a viable everyday 7th man on that bench behind Poole. Might even be the first to contend for DPOY coming off the bench
GP2 an absolute must keep.
@@harrisonsloan6036 absolutely
GPII had the highest plus minus in game six. The real secret about GPII is the man is also a bucket, he has just been deferring to the stars and playing his role, but he had a fifty point game in the G League. If Kuminga and Wiseman can get fully up to speed on the defensive side next year the Warriors can put out a lineup of Wiseman, Kuminga, Wiggins, GPII and Poole that will be the new death lineup, stopping everyone on one end and unstoppable on the other.
@@tribalypredisposed I think we saw JK struggle finding his role in the playoffs. As athletic as he is, he often settled in taking a 3 rather than being aggressive. If he can find that identity next season, teams will always be in constant pressure all 48 minutes even when starters are resting. Warriors are just beginning to tap that raw talent with their young core (Moody, Kuminga, Wiseman). Very excited for next season
@@ghostin415 Kuminga is a really Raw prospect but his potential is limitless, I expect next season he'll find consistent minutes on this team and be a real contributor with the developmental staff of the warriors
Stephen A is my absolute favorite sportscaster! My wife watches General Hospital and he pops up once in a while which is a real treat!
Lol and thatâs Take from SA!! đđŒ đ I love how passionate he is about his Job.. haha đ I agree though, Golden States got a great shot at a repeat. Itâs really hard to argue that. And man was this Finals series awesome. đđŒđđŒđŻđ„
What people forget is that itâs not about just being able to match up athletically. Itâs about being able to beat a team in a 7 game series. GSW forces you to run constantly when you defend, all 24 seconds of the shot clock, all 48 minutes, for the entire series. Plus, theyâre going to play team defense. No one else in the league both defends at that clip and moves that much. I would really love to see them against a healthy Clippers and Nuggets in a 7 game series. But I agree with SAS, if theyâre healthy, with Wiseman, and a full year to build on this playoff chemistry and momentumâŠwatch out!
W
I canât see them losing to anybody but Denver if the warriors are fully healthy with the youth of kuminga moody Poole and wiseman.
@@sicko7113 only thing the warriors were really lacking was size and athleticsm at the center position to stop the giannis's the embiids and the jokic's of the league, now we have a front court defense of James Wiseman, Draymond Green, and Andrew Wiggins? That's incredible, not to mention klay has a full off season and 82 games to actually find a rhythm. Sheesh
That Clippers team has barely changed since their 3-1 reverse sweep vs Denver
@@hrishiv I canât really say that. Theyâve been able to really solidify Reggie Jackson, Luke Kennard and Terrence Mann in their confidence and their roles. And then you think about 2-way players such as Norman Powell and Robert Covington who could both start on both teams, being key players for them as well. Theyâre athleticism, shot making, defense, and ability to score in transition, isolation and half court is kind of scary. And they have championship coaching and good veteran leadership. Now, this all looks good on paper, lol, and they still need to prove themselves. But theyâre definitely formidable opponents. Not to mention, theyâre getting their own stadium soon, so theyâre really looking to shake things up and create a solid name for themselves in the league. Weâll see what happens.
I give Stephen A. a lot of credit, he did say that his pick to win the championship was the Warriors. I definitely did not see them being able to get past the WCF without a dominant big. The emergence of Jordan Poole and the buy-in from Wiggins. He said it from the start of the season and deserves to talk his sh*t.
Also looney was bigger than people realize
Wiseman next year will take them to a stratosphere. Why? Because Warriors never have a big that can stretch and shoot from the outside. A 7 footer that can rebound and block and play defense? Nah, it's over for the league.
@@reptilexcq2 bro dont forget Kuminga the guy could become a beast someday
I dunno, I picked the Warriors before the season started too, and to me it just seemed like the thing anyone who was not a complete casual would do. If Kerr has had Klay and Dray and Curry he has taken the team to the Finals and won more often than not. It does not take an above average mind or knowledge of basketball to predict that what happened a bunch of times before could happen again. Outside of Memphis, I saw no threats in the West, and while I was worried about the Heat I thought Warriors would prevail in the end. If Duncan Robinson's three point shotting had stayed at last year's percentage and Tyler Herro was not injured, I think they would have crushed Boston.
@@tribalypredisposed That's a Cap. Boston had a Rob Williams that was at 70% and a Marcus Smart at 75%. If both those guys are healthy they beating the Heat in 6. And the Warriors in 6 to win the title.
This video shows you why people love watching Stephen A. lol... but I think he is right on this one. If you really look at everything Warriors has right now, it's actually a little frightening...they could actually win 2.
Celtics played as a team. 9 Final's Rings in 11 years , now hear comes another TEAM originated, and another dynasty just started! Two of the best teams in the history of the NBA, the common thread is the draft and defence first, all other GMs don't trust their instincts and try to buy their hardware, Golden State developing and actually pay the draftee who works hard and is rewarded with a multi-year contract and is in the rotation, Jordan Poole is a perfect example, Rookies see the rewards and the culture and of course, The Final's Ring! I will say, next year's Finals đ will be won by the Bench! And when the big three leave ,these bench players will win a Final's Ring đ! It's the Worriers' DNA!
I was really impressed how Steven. A was able to spin a negative Perk energy to positive and totally disarms him by reminding him how great he's been in the past ,brilliant Steven
Preach SAS, I am with you all the way my brother. Steph and the Warriors are going to gunning for that 5th chip in 2023. Let's go Warriors
CELEBRATE NOW AND FOCUS WHEN THE SEASON COMES.

Warriors have well built and sustainable winning culture top down from the owners, front office and probably the towel boy all on the same page. A lot of teams are are emerging with this mindset too. Suns, Boston, Bucks, Nuggets. Teams like Nets and Lakers are still stuck in the Super team era.
Support the towel boy! đđ
that towel boy had me laughin bro thanks for that XD
mavs, toronto, pelicans & cavs should be in that same group with emerging organizations
This is a great observation!!
Golden State has it figured out on the culture spectrum.
Teams that are still on the "superteam" wagon are going to get left behind. They're getting left behind.
Warriors made the same mistake going that way getting KD. But they had a great winning culture already before him. Cavs had built a super team, so they felt they needed ro in order to beat them, and they were probably right.
But I'm glad KD left. It gave the organization a chance to realize and remember who they are. They can revolutionize players and make them better as long as they are pliable. Wiggins is a down right superstar now! On another team, does he become that in this time? I'm not confident that he would.
Gary Payton II, who was applying for a camera job or something with the team.... look at this dude!
Yeah, Curry is my favorite player, and a bona-fide superstar no doubt, they don't win without him.
But major credit has to be given to Kerr and the entire organization for the culture they've built. It's something special. It should be the goat of organizations. Over everybody, past and present.
@@nbafanboy1967 Pelicans? Because they picked an obvious number 1 pick in Zion? Other then that what have they accomplished? Wasting ADs prime and now Zions.
Gotta give it to Stephen A! I remember when he said the Warriors were winning it all!!
Media & Players had so much to say about the GSW especially during the 2 years they were dealing with injuries. They won, & now they clapping back & folks feeling some type of way. Action speak louder the words. & the GSW was about that action Coach. People forgot Steph, Dray & Klay all finally got to play together again during the playoffs. They haven't gotten back into rhythm yet. The only thing that is going to change is dealing with them extensions & contract talks. But be real. Free Agents just seen what Wiggins became....they seen Otto took less & won. Who said more Free Agents won't wanna come to the GSW? The GSW young guys will grow even more due to the experience they got. This team will get even better. The new motivation? Is proving they ARE A DYNASTY. Because that seems to be the new Goal Post for this team.
I'm with SAS.
Everyone had the GSW down & out. There were those who said that Boston was going to sweep them. But Steph Curry, Klay & all the Warriors reminded everybody who they are.
They are 2022 NBA champions!
Im a warriors fan, but i really had no expectation whatsoever for them positively before the playoffs but after the nuggets series i was kinda "eh i think its just a fluke, lets see if they can beat memphis" a way harder challenge. Then thats that.
All these analysts had Boston win 80% to 20%, âBostonâs too physicalâ etc. Iâm not even a warriors fan but I knew theyâd be back right away once they got through those injuries the past 3 years lmao
Perk is worst on TV than he was on the court and that says a lot. đ€Ł

If the Warriors DO repeat, thatâs 5 rings in 9 years. Thatâs showtime Lakers numbers. That truly puts them in the conversation as greatest team of all time.
Solid statement.
If the warriors repeat and have kuminga moody wiseman and poole heading into the third year, sheeeeesh.
Kendrick Perkins is really consistently bringing down the quality of the show. He makes watching ESPN content so tough at times. I don't get why ESPN is pushing him so much.
I gotta say bruh Stephen A. may have been wishy washy during the playoffs about the warriors but you gotta give him credit for him predicting the warriors in the finals at the start of the season
No you don't. The more he saw them, the less he thought they were a Finals team. That's actually a bad thing; you're supposed to get BETTER with more information.
Perkins is BITTER!!! I love Stephen A Smith!! SmileâŠrelax lol! Today is my day!!! Warriors Championship DNA!!!!! Preach Stephen A Smith!!!!!!!!

If the Warriors win another chip it will depend on the younger guys like Poole and Kuminga taking a step and playing better defense.
Agree, younger players have to develop. Poole is good but he needs another two years at least to develop consistency and maybe add some muscles.
yep..there were a lot of good teams that were injured this year. the warriors will need to be much better if they want to repeat.
@@aayoub1 we tend to forget how young these guys are because of their level of play. straight up though, guys aren't at their peak growth/strength at 22. it's typically 25-30 where they are at peak strength and stamina. kuminga and jordan poole at 24/25 have the potential to be both skilled and athletic.

When there's the conversation about top NBA players I think for the most part people are just referring purely to basketball skills. But if the conversation is about the player's ability to win, then there are skills outside of basketball to that effect. Skills that I think Steph really exemplify. His style of leadership, almost in stark contrast to Bron, sure they both lead by their plays, but his style of leadership seems less authoritarian and more lifting. He brings out the best in his teammates. There's no doubt in my mind Jordan Poole would not have flourished the way that he has if he was on another team. Steph's leadership played a big role in his development. There's a reason why some of the greatest in the NBA have and never will win a championship ring. Because basketball is a team sport, and no one man can do it all by himself and Steph seems to have this aura that makes the people around him play better.
Yes, extremely underappreciated when talking about the GOAT or other lists of the top players is their leadership skills and how they set the culture of the team and their willingness to sacrifice to win. Everyone talks about how unselfish Curry is and how unselfish the Warriors are, and they are that because of Curry, and Kerr, but it would not work without Curry. When people rank Harden and Westbrick, for examples, in the top 75 all time it makes me a little crazy because both were the reasons their teams never made it to the top with their selfishness and negative effects on team culture. You can do incredible things on the court, but if it is all about you and your ego out there and not about the team and the team winning, you actually suck at basketball.
you sumed it well!
@@tribalypredisposed yeah I agree mj is the goat definitely

Stephen a smith understood the assignment đ€Ł
Man this guys Stephen a hilarious. This like his first time he got something right. đ€Łđ€ŠđŒââïž
Keep killing it Stephen A !
Warriors!!! â€ïž
GSW may not win next year, but they have a great future if they can keep the Curry-Klay-Green alongside the drive of their young core of JP-JK-MM-JW.
Only thing stopping them is injuries
@@leormullakandov1039 i forgot Airdrew Wiggins
Kids
There's a middle generation of Wiggs, Loon, and GP2. JTA too. They're critical to the success of the W's.
Stephen A has doubted the Warriors many times after a loss during the playoffs.
NO HE HASNT
He was never steady, but he always said GS so
So would you if your predicted winning team was down 2-1 after game 3 and not knowing how they would respond in game 4. Key word was "nervous" that SAS repeatedly referred to.
@@loveeveryanime well this year he's been quite accurate. the last decade tho... xD
Stephen a was just preppin them up so he could gloat đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł. Love it
