I’m glad the Stephen a knicks rants are back 😂
Both Stephen A. Smith's lovers are bad. He is a Lakers loyal and have the Knicks in the closet.😆
And Perk laughing in front of SAS is all of us. He repping us in the studios. hahaha!
@4:15 Stephen A has said this so many times and it still gets me everytime 😂😂
Talk to each other not directly at the camera! Useless to sit at a table then..
Lol me too 😂😂😂😂
I b using this now...ther r inmates n state penitentiarys
that inmate line by stephen A will go down as an all-time classic in the knicks rant archives.
I must be a masochist. Knicks rants are never boring.🤣🤣🤣
The Knicks are pure entertainment and comedy. They should hoist a banner for being the best comedy act in the NBA for 20+ consecutive seasons.
No snice 1947 . The wrost franchise every
@@terrenceperkins5282 Nah stop it. They won some championships in the 70s and were very competitive in the 80s and 90s. But they have been mostly a disappointment for the last 20 years.
@@cybertutorials5609 they won 2 chips in the 70s .. in the finals in the 90s twice over snice the being of the nba compare to Boston with 18 chips mvp player & Lakers with 17 chips with mvp player the Knicks suck .
New Yorker have it confuse msg is famous not the Knicks
@@terrenceperkins5282 You called them the worst franchise ever. That’s not an accurate statement given that there are far worst teams in the league. Knicks have been bad for 20 years but they still have won some championships and had a few decades of being competitive.
@@cybertutorials5609 stop how many mvp the Knicks have & c how many the lakers have or Boston or Miami. Knicks are the wrost franchise that started with the Lakers snice 1947.
So we are going to ignore that Perk said “Lakerses”?😂
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Only comment I searched for lmaooooo
The Lakerses 🤣🤣
LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO
😂
"NEW YORK STAND UP" --stephen A
The end scene of Rogue One with Vader igniting his lightsaber, is the only light at the end of the tunnel for the Knicks 😂
SA know he wanna laugh lowkey 😂
Espn are the only people who still care about the lakers and knicks
Big markets create news win or lose ...
Did Perk just call them the "Lakerses" 🤣
He country man leave him alone

😂☠️
@@spaceghost4628 no excuse, man is on TV and speaks for a living he can try and clean up his grammar a bit.
It's no doubt the Lakers are the most disappointing and frustrating team this year. As for the Knicks, THE KNICKS ARE GONNA KNICK!!!!! This Laker team is the 2013 Lakers version
This version of the Lakers is proving to be worse than 2013 imo, they wouldn't even make the playoffs if not for the extra 2 spots that come with the play in tournament.
@@coreyrowe4119 no argument there
Stephan A been working on his acting abilities/ monologues 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
SAS went from saying KD is upset he didn’t join the Knicks to this within a 2 month period 😂😂
Lmaoo 🤣🤣🤣 hurtin his career
Put some respect on 2004 Lakers . Don’t compare this year’s pathetic squad to that 05 team who was old but at least made the Finals and lost to a hungry and deep Pistons squad . When they actually played defense . This year’s squad is lucky to win 3 more games . After that it’s Cancun for them
👍🏽
think u got it twisted 03-04 Lakers lost to Pistons 04-05 was Spurs over Pistons
@@SpaceWorldRoman I meant the 2003-2004 squad just do we’re clear
Thibs is a good coach for a year maybe 2, then it all unravels. He burns himself out as well as his team.
To those who are wondering..the actual video begins at 2:16🤣🤣🤣
You know something? I think Stephen has a point, if Leon Rose was walking down one side of the street from me, I probably wouldn’t even have known it was him, perhaps the Knicks are just waiting to draft Bronny James or something
Waiting to draft the dude averaging 6 PPG in high-school ? 😅😅😅
They would be able le to get bronny in the second round
You know what's funny i meet him last night 😂😂
@@saucewalka3801 and his father
Yea right f lebum
The three ring circus that is the Knicks never fails to make me laugh now, as a Knicks fan. At least they're good for that!😂
this man SAS will never stop saying there are inmates that are more visable than Leon Rose and i'm heer for it lmao.
I hate being a Knicks and cowboys fan sometimes
This laker team isn’t the 04 team it’s the 2012 team, except Kobe didn’t have to overcome Westbrook
You mean the 2013 Lakers
@@mrand1themamba 2012-2013 yes sir
@@user-qk4vl8lj4r no doubt the Lakers are the most frustrating and disappointing team this year. The Knicks are no surprise, last year was an anomaly. Knicks are gonna Knick
Knicks and hawks had one good playoff run now back at the bottom
Not the 04 Lakers but 2012 Lakers of Kobe, Dwight, Gasol and Nash
They still blaming Westbrook and AD, but not lebron. Smh
But lebron is ballin tho
@@bayareayackem100 don't matter if he ballin he's as much a problem as Westbrook and AD is
@@michaelsykes5027 No he’s not what else are you expecting from a 37 year old Lebron averaging 29 a game. The Lakers’ plan was for Russ and AD to take the load during the regular season and lebron to be rested for the playoffs but Russ hasn’t played well at all and AD has been inconsistent and hurt. Which forces lebron to put more wear and tear on his body.
@@michaelsykes5027 LMFAOOOOOO 😂
@@jburd7652 people lose all objectivity when it comes to Bron. I blame it on debate culture. The man is 37 playing better than anyone ever played after 19 seasons at this age and these people are saying he needs to be BETTER LOL
Knicks fan stood up but Julius Randle sat down
How crazy brooklyn is attracting free agents but knicks can't even get a superstar 😕
Let me start this by saying that I am not a Knicks hater at all and I love seeing the Knicks do well. However, Zion has a better team around him than AD ever did in NOLA I mean AD had some solid teams but, we could never see what they really could be because they were always hurt and he was always hurt.
Zion has a defensive rookie of the year in Herb Jones, who has 80 steals, and at least fifty blocked shots, his points per game average has gone up every single month this season and he has improved his jump shot. Brandon Ingram, is an all star who should have been an all star this year. He can shoot the three, he averages 3.2 mid range jumper makes per game which is tops in the league, he can get to the basket and attack the rim and he also does a great job of setting up his teamates as well and his defense is also getting better.
Trey Murphy is a great defender and a knockdown three point shooter who is only going to get better as he gets more time Jaxson Hayes has been balling since he moved to the 4 spot.
And JV is one of the league leaders in double doubles, rebounds, and he does a great job of hitting threes and stretching the floor which will make things easier for Zion when he comes back healthy.
CJ Mccollum and Tony Snell, have been great additions Tony Snell is a great defender both off and on the ball and he has shot fifty percent from three since coming over in the trade he is also another floor spacer that will help Zion too and Devonte Graham has also been a very solid addition he can come off the bench and be instant offense.
Naji Marshall, Jose, Garrett Temple, Billy and Gary Clark have all had their moments as well. Have another strong draft, add to this core in free agency, and get a healthy and fully recovered Zion to go with the rest of this current core and I guarantee that my Pelicans will be a top seed in the West next year with a healthy Zion.
You don't see Ms. Gayle Benson or, hear here and yeah David Griffin has made his fair share of mistakes but, he and the rest of the front office have put a great team together. Zion has gone on record numerous times and said he isn't leaving nor should he I'm gonna say this one last time a fully healthy Zion and I guarantee that my Pelicans will be a top seed in the West next year. WBD.
Stephen makes the show relevant
Steven A. makes every show a rerun. He just recycles takes. It probably isn't his fault since he has so much screen time. He has catch phrases for the topics that appear the most. We all already know what he is going to say. Knicks, Cowboys, Steph Curry, Aaron Rodgers, Kyrie, Alabama, etc. He says the same things all the time.
He is the only person on screen I don't need to hear from.
Ngl Perk hit the nail on the head
I’m from Virginia and was so stoked on this Lakers team going into this season and I basically stopped watching them after like 10 games
I still enjoy watching us play. Doesn't really matter what the media thinks at this point. Don't listen to World B. Free in the scalp😂
Come become a Bulls fan you don’t got to be depressed no more
@@K_D_A Nah im going back to to my birth right Philly😭
SAS sounds just like every other knicks fan I know. Just depressed 😂😂😂😂
Stephen A is like the only reporter that talks about the Knicks consistently for no reason at all
"It's the Lakersssyyys"
-KP
I found a new meme 😂, Knicks at least have RJ Barrett who looks promising
Yeah you’re right. RJ looks VERY promising recently. Kid has been balling out lately. One of the ONLY bright spots this year.
Plus the Knicks have their draft picks. They can get a decent prospect. The Lakers have no draft picks and being in the lottery just means an early 1st round pick for someone else.
4:22 She tapped out!!! LOL 😆
Stephen A is not a die hard Knicks fan
He's fair weather
Anthony "Street Clothes" Davis is the reason of LA failure. He didnt improved after they won a championship.
Reddish, grimes,Barrett, toppin,randle we good! Keep that same energy!
The knicks are not a storied franchise or a anything more then that they are a average franchise since the beginning big market and can’t do anything
L for ESPN putting the Knicks instead of the Heat X Bucks game!
True
She does a good job.
They took 4months rest in that pandemic season. That was their biggest advantage thats why they won the chip
Yeah because only the Lakers got that 5 month break right...Geez!
10 years from now are we gonna count the lakers bubble championship
I only watch Steve "why was u at them colleges boy?" Smith when he complains about the Knicks. Same as when Skip complains about the Cowgirls. Makes me feel good when they don't about their squads
The Knicks have the talent but lacks a good leader. It ain’t Randle for sure! RJ has the motivation but still needs time and experience. The young guys need a good leader who can guide them
Knicks can have the best player on the planet and will still be at the bottom and the laughing stock in the league. New York sports teams are cursed excluding nycfc who are defending mls cup champions.
Come on Spike, quit trolling
@@Duma2011 dude? Soccer, really?
@@yell0wberry it is the most popular sport in the world.
@@Duma2011 i’ll be sure to tell that to the well over 100 million people who were watching something totally different a couple of Sundays ago
Every fan in the nba knew it was over once the lakers signed westbrook. The knicks signed kimba we faked had hope
I think they are equally frustrating for different reasons. The Lakers have all the talent they need to succeed, but they just can’t put it all together in an effective way. That being said, they’re the Lakers. They will probably make an off-season move that will put them back on top, or even if the worst case scenario occurs and Lebron leaves or something, they are such a historic franchise that they aren’t far off from another championship. The Knicks were never expected to come anywhere near the Finals this year, but the fact that last season is feeling more and more like a fluke bodes quite poorly for their future. In the short term, being a lakers fan probably sucks more right now, but Knicks fans have a longggg road ahead of them unless they’re somehow able to pull Zion.
Knicks front office a complete disaster. Team don't have the horses to compete....
Why are we even talking about the knicks. 40 years without contending
I swear the Knicks are the cowboys of the NBA where as they can be one of the worst teams in the NBA year end and year out but also be the most talked about team in the NBA🤦🏾♂️
That’s literally the Lakers
@@tokyorift yeah that's true in the NBA the Lakers and the Knicks on the two most talked about teams in the league no matter how bad they may get year in and you're out🤦🏾♂️
@@tokyorift and me personally I think the only reason the Lakers and the Knicks are the most talked about teams in the NBA is because they are both located in the two biggest cities in the US
@@jonesvaughn8946 and thats why I sort of understand. But as a Bulls fan I still look at that argument like “come on guys, we wanna be talked about too” 😂 we’re certainly a big enough market
@@tokyorift yeah I was actually about to say earlier that you have the bulls that's in the third largest city in the US and who are far better than both of those teams this year and they get little to know respect and every time you turn on ESPN in the morning and throughout the day they're mostly talking about either the Lakers or the Knicks🤦🏾♂️
We have draft picks and young players lakers roster is already at its peak
U relying on the knicks to hit on those picks?
The thing is AD not embracing his role the way Kobe did with that team that had the likes of GP and the mailman. Kobe never took nights off and still try to kill you on a nightly basis. AD comes up short when he plays another PF or Center just as good. Because if you gonna be in the top 75......be dominant because I haven’t seen it yet
There’s always the chance y’all sign zion and rj keeps getting better
NYK should have traded for Westbrook just to add entertainment to their team.
No way, that would have been a disaster.
Why she eyeing me like that tho😭
Didn't understand how the knicks keep getting national tv games lol
Cuz we got the next kobe
I hope the Lakers bounce back next season.
Why do they talk about such terrible teams like the Knicks and lakers all the time? Pay more attention to up and coming teams like Memphis and Cleveland
IKR‼️🙄😫😩🤷♂️🤦♂️
Stephen “I don’t wanna talk about the knicks then proceed to talk about the Knick’s” smith.
It's not a tunnel, it's a pit. There was never any light at the end
Ewing was the light
Actually Melo coming from Denver and bringing j r smith with him was a light as well.
@@thewonthatloss227 that light was like finding a box of matches at the bottom of a pit and sometimes somebody tosses you a pack of matches sometimes when you run out. I like Melo but last I looked J.R. had to leave NYC to get a ring. It's like saying Linsanity was a light and I like the guy, it was a spectacle and that's it
@@willjoyce5013 yeah you can say that now. At the time though Melo was a top 5 player in the NBA and Jr was balling like ja morant (last year). They also had Jose Calderon, Stoudemire, steve Novak, shumpert, and some other pieces. They were a well constructed team. They had to deal with Garnetts Celtics, lebrons heat, and pg13's pacers
@@thewonthatloss227 that's a good tale you are fooling yourself with lol. Melo balled, the rest of the team was a repeat failure. Nobody cares that J.R. Smith wasn't trash for a bit outside of people in NYC. They were a meh team never going anywhere that mattered because the Melo trade screwed their chances to build around Melo. They had Stoudemire at the end of his career lol
Why keep talking about losing teams? People want to hear about the Bulls, who are a large market winning team. People want to hear about the Cavs, who have turned their broken franchise around at lightning speed, even without their star player from last year. People want to hear about the defending champions and the greatest young superstar in the league. People want to hear about the Suns being on a mission after coming so close last year.
But ESPN only wants to talk about 4 teams. The Lakers, the Nets, the 76ers (because of drama), and to a lesser extent, the Knicks and the Pelicans (because of drama).
As soon as she started talking sports I zoned out
its not the 04 lakers dont give them that compliment they are more like the 13 lakers. but that team made it to the playoffs and the cost was kobe's achilles
1:21 Cause they had a completely different roster during that season. Then labron wanting to get players aka friends and talent on the team, plus head coach letting it slide, made this...........yes this.
I'm not hating or anything, I'm just really disappointed how it turned out. I knew from the very beginning that this wasn't gonna work out and look now.
this is Karma for Stephen A constantly trolling on the Cowboys.
Not everyone that's NYer are Knicks fans Perk 😒 - i hate that thought process. I'm a native NYer and I ain't never been a Knicks fan. Lot of natives are not Knicks - only Stephen A and Spike walking around talking about "we here" 😂
Then what team r u a fan of?? 🤨😂😂🗽🏀
But acting like Rj Barrett isn’t going crazy his numbers are crazy he getting better n better every game bigger stronger I bet he like kawhi 2.0 in his 5 yr
5 years ??people going crazy now losing nobody want to hear about 5 years. Teams horrible, got 1 good player to build around. But Big markets look for excitement the team doesn't have any.
Kawhi?? The kid is gonna be great but Kawhi is just a terrible comparison. Different offensive game and Kawhi is 6’8 with a 7’3 wingspan I’m not sure RJ will ever be the defender Kawhi is.
@@spaceghost4628 yea I say he gonna be like a jimmy butler he definitely has the winner mentality definitely a guy you could build around..
The next kobe he already clutch
2:03 - Video start
Comparing a Lakers team that went to the Finals to a team that needs 10 seeds to make the playoffs/play in……
The light at the end of the tunnel is RJ BARRETT💡
It evaporated last year in the playoffs against Hawks 😅😅😅
The Knicks suck & i love it
They should move the knicks to Seattle
Glassthony Davis is their ultimate problem
trade randle , make rj #1 option and build around him get a nice known big / another guard or wing player
Both these teams might suck but that don’t change the fact that they get prime time games left and right…… I wanna watch these prime time games but if the teams playing are 🗑 then what’s the point……. Idk why the NBA doesn’t do anything about this…… in the NFL if a team is 🗑 like the Seahawks were last season there prime time games are taken away and given to more deserving and better teams….. why doesn’t the NBA do it this 🤷🏽♂️
Yeah, ngl I almost fell asleep during the last Lakers-Pelicans game. It was a bad viewing experience.
Because they make the most money. Regardless of performance, those are the most popular teams
I mean there's no way out of the tunnel even for the knicks.
The New York Knicks could always take a chance and gamble on Zion and AD.
It’s like Russian roulette, you’re losing like the LA Fakers anyways.
This segment was teed up for Steven A
Unless kemba turn the clock back its not surprising. Should of of picked up j. Wall
And the Nets?
BS. For the first time in a decade, the Knicks have a young core that they can build on. RJ, Obi, Quick, Mitch and Cam have the potential to grow. I get the feeling that Stephen A. exaggerates his Knicks takes because, to be fair, they’re pretty entertaining. The Knicks will be alright.
Alright, When?
They have a coach who doesn’t utilize young talent.
@@milesperteet1924 agreed. Thibs needs to either change his ways or step aside.
Same thing y’all said about the porzingis young core group 😂
This why it's a mystery as why are they so horrible. We have the talent to compete but lose game after game after game 🤦🏿♂️
They had abit of a chance with Rose playing
As long as Dolan owns the team the KNICKS WILL NEVER WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!! It’s not hard to figure out Knick fans
How about them cowboys?!!!
Who the heck is Mr. Rose anyways? 😅
There will always be light for a major market city. A team like the kangz….that’s a place where there is no light at the end of the tunnel lol
This seems so trivial when we are inching towards WW3. Also Knicks suck.
Let's make the Zion trade
Lmao trade AD back to NO for Zion 😂😂😂 complete disrespect
@@spaceghost4628 The Knicks my nan
At least the Bulls are great tho!!!
Yes IT IS BIGGEST DISSAPOINTMENTS TO LEBUMS GENERAL MANAGER JOB
Steven A irkes me but I'll always listen when he craps on the Knicks
There's two common denominators when it comes to the Knicks. The owner James Dolan,
and the hopefulness of the knick fans.
Clearly James has to go
Julius Randle should get a haircut.
The light for the Knicks is once Zion joins Reddish and Barrett
Knicks shouldn't go near Zion, not with the injury issues.
Perk needs to calm down a bit. I feel like he's saying things just to "blow people away"!
Yo the Lakers & knicks both started 1947 in the nba . Why the Knicks have 2 chips the lakers have 17 chips..y is anybody a Knicks & I'm from nyc
Perkins just be talking ....talking about the worst in NBA history....SHUT UP 🤦🏽♂🤦🏽♂🤦🏽♂🤦🏽♂
