Stephen A: GO NEW YORK GO NEW YORK GO!!!!!!
Knicks fans: he’s not one of us!
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
😂😂 FR
💯!!!
And who are these knicks fans saying who is a knicks fan?
@@jagr06me
Knicks vs Lakers finals would be a media sensation 😂
cmon bro lakers 11 spot rockets getting that 10th
lakers celtics
Nope Rockets Knicks and Lakers ain't making the finals this year end of discussion y'all
There isn’t enough rigging in the world to get the Lakers to the Finals
Lakers and warriors fans are competing for who’s the more delusional insufferable fanbase
the irony is stephen a sounds exactly like Shannon talking about the lakers (and nuggets)
The Nuggets are good though?
issue with Shannon is that he doesn't watch anything apart from the Lakers
SAS is clearly more aware of the league. SAS doesn't remind about the Knicks when it's not needed, while Shannon enters any conversation with the Lebron/Lakers agenda
But the truth is he is right. The way the Knicks are constructed, if healthy they could make the conference finals.
It's physically impossible for Stephen A to say anything positive about the Milwaukee Bucks.
who cares, they should be better than what they are. wut else is there to talk about
@@majinboookabucks are 9-1 last ten matchups against the knicks..
@@majinboooka They are better than your team
He hates small market teams
He’s still salty Giannis owns his boyfriend kd🤣🤣🤣
Steven A clearly isn't watching. Boggie and Burks haven't been playing well
Honestly I thought they'd been playing ok not in the box score but they both been scrappy on defense
He's a fairweather fan. Real Knicks fans reject him. Spike Lee is the goat Knicks fan. SaS a poser
@@denk664Spike cost yall a few playoff games with his antics against the opposing team. I wouldn’t call him the goat
@@whitechoc123 forgot he screwed up against Reggie Miller and the Pacers. In terms of supporting I consider him the goat because he's always been there in the good times and the bad times. Considering the Knicks have been terrible for a while ( not counting Brunson era) I give him props.
No human is their best everyday. They’ll be fine. #GOknicks
That's how you know he doesn't pay attention he said Berks
he adds a “r” to everything 😂
JJ is more focused on licking his lips while he looks at molly they can’t wait to go back to the dressing room lmao
@@DiamondGad He married bro 😭
lol true, Didn’t even mention hart
@@SwaggaNeal 0:41
Please keep sleeping on Orlando. That team is built for the postseason. Top tier defense, crazy length at all positions, and Paolo is a walking mismatch. Stay sleeping 💤
Nah not this year but next year I expect them to be a top 4 seed exactly how I predicted OKC Thunder would be top 2
The Orlando Magic have not done ANYTHING since 2012. So many players come and go it's like a retail minimum wage grocery store down there.
Lol I'm sleeping on them
@MangoTroubles-007 this a wayyyyy different squad front and GM idk how u comparing a vucevic lead magic team to a paolo lead Team like come on man😂
Not this year, but yeah Paolo is a nightmare to guard.
As a magic fan shhh let them keep sleeping
Steven A is the black cat that he speak of
JJ hitting molly look at his eyes and his lips during show
@@DiamondGadu can tell how annoyed he is at her.
@@scruffd0g193i would rather promote and get molly her own show if it means moving on from first take
No that’s that rat Shannon. Who is a New York hater
The black cat is Shannon who hates on the New York Knicks
🎶 They say this is a BIG KNICKS TOWWWWN YEAAHHHHH 🎶
I’m not sleeping I’m snoring 🤣🤣🤣
Jj shannon and sas is so entertaining omg match made in heaven. They havent missed yet since jj has been back
JJ couldn’t keep a straight face when SA was hyping the Knicks 😂
The NBA playoffs is about to be insane!
Why is Molly all ways interrupting 😂😂😂 like a child in the back😂😂
It’s her job
And yet Stephen a does the EXACT same thing and you don’t say anything about that? You sounding kind of sexist.
@@gradel888it’s almost like Stephen A is why people tune into this show every day, Molly is just there to introduce topics and be a pretty face just like every other female desk reporter in sports media. It’s not our fault every time she butts in its to say something stupid or irrelevant
You sound dumb@@memebobs9011
Youre an idiot. She's not here to just remain silent
Shannon:
Steven A: Stop it Shannon
Dic eating insane
Molly pls stop interrupting
Have to she’s the host time to go to a new segment
@chebele69 stop being sexist
Shes unbearable
@MrLiodtitans stop it.
@@dc4evaloyalstat better
I don't ever take what Stephen A say seriously...this man dogged Julius Randle for years and now he's a big fan
I understand JJ's point about the rhythm of the team, but I really don't think Randle and Robinson coming back is really going to impact that team's rhythm/chemistry all that much. The beauty behind Thibs' schemes is simple...just keep it simple. For Mitchell Robinson it's: Block shots, grab rebounds, protect the paint. For OG Anunoby: Defend the opposing team's best player, shoot the open three, and cut. For Randle...just keep doing him. They're return isn't going to disrupt much, and if it does, Mitchell Robinson recently came out and said he'd be totally fine playing off the bench, if it turns out that Hartenstein is better in the starting line up. So I agree with JJ's point about health, I just don't think rhythm is going to be the issue.
Stephen A. asking for Miami like they're chump 🤣🤣
These 3 are the best 3 ESPN has right now. Make this the daily show
Keep naming every team except the team that's constantly in the conference finals and constantly takes out all these teams in one playoff run the heat
Finally the magic getting some love from somebody. JJ knows what's up I know where a young team and might not go real far but we going to put up a fight
Knicks would win 4-1 but the experience would be priceless for the magic! The magic will be a real threat next season after finding out how intense the playoffs are
@@thunygotit7028knicks aint beating that magic team😂
@@thunygotit7028says the team that lost 3 times this year against the Magic. The Magic are sweeping the Knicks
@@confederatetearsaredelicious lol you do know the playoffs is a different animal right!! The Knicks wasn’t healthy every time they played. Don’t worry the beating the magic will take will only make them better in the long run
@@halftime814 you have to crawl before you can walk I know yall are fans but be realistic that young team isn’t ready yet they have to get beat up in the playoffs a few times to see how its levels!
This is entertaining, but it has no merit
The Knicks have a very good team when they're healthy. They need Randle, OG, and Mitchell Robinson. Brunson has been great all year. Knicks have depth, too. Next year might be their year. It's too late now to get these guys healthy.
The correct answer is the Heat but they won't acknowledge them for some reason like they haven't played the Heat in the ECF the last two years.
I believe in Miami Heat still if them could come of the 8-7 seed last year it could happen again guys I not sleeping 💤 or snoring 😴 at this team
😬
Why is mitchell Robinson’s return never in media conversation. He’s the biggest difference maker when he comes back
Why is this even a question in the East? It's clearly the Bucks who are the only team that can take out the Celtics. it's a two-team race.
I feel like we said this last year and then the heat turned up and made it to the final. Anything possible.
Knicks are only 3 games behind them while 3 of our starters have been injured the past 20+ games. Keep sleeping on them.
Nahh the Knicks are a sleeper would not be surprised if they beat Milwaukee
@@RawwRex Bucks would gentlemen sweep them stop playing bruh loool
Nobody is beating the Celtics
Stephen A: Cowboys fans are so delusional
Also Stephen A: If we get healthy, and the stars align, and MJ sips his whiskey every time we pull up to shoot, we could make it to the conference finals.
🤣😂🤣
Steven A “I believe so”, Shannon “OMG” 😂🙌🏼
Don’t sleep on the NY Knicks, they will surprise many come playoff time. Nobody expected them to get as far as they did last season. This season they are a different animal.
If they can get healthy they’re a force to be reckoned with
Especially since the refs are letting much more physical play go and letting players continue playing. When that amps up during the playoffs, I hope to see the 90's knicks with their suffocating defense.
I am sorry I have been disappointed to many times
Knicks fans live in a different reality man 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"as far as they did" bruh they won one series lil bro
What was that weird tension with Shannon and JJ at the end lol, mad JJ got a show with his goat🤣
Smith and Sharpe are GOLD together I love this dynamic it’s like a breath of fresh air for the air as long as Lebalco isn’t the topic you get good perspectives on the sports world from this lineup
I’m a knicks fan but the disrespect to playoff jimmy & heat is crazy the most underrated scary team nobody talk abt jus cuz there Record during the regular season doesn’t look at all impressive we seen wat happened last year an the year after that or did everybody for get nobody wants to play Miami Eric Spoelstra can out coach just abt every coach in the east in playoff mode keep in mind they are the 7th seed
Back as fan of lf this show they're all great together
A rotation of , Randle, O.G, Donte, Jalen with Hart, & Hartenstein surrounded by shooters
Didn’t Dame drop 10 points in a game last week in 30 mins? But he’s finding his way?
Now he beat a healthy suns team with no Gianni’s drop 31 and 16 also play clippers without Gianni’s and Middleton dropped 44 lmao he just chillin till playoffs
I like how JJ is always staring straight ahead without eye contact like he doesn't acknowledge the words coming out of Stephen A's mouth 🤣
The trio we needed lmfaooooo
😂😂😂 Shannon funny af
Miami is sitting there like we finna shake the board again huh
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeell...
Imagine dame and Giannis both getting 50 in the playoffs. 100 points total 🤯
ECF finals is there and so is that 2 seed ..bucks, cavs have been falling without a rope while the Knick are steadily climbing up !! We only need julius at 50% for 20-25 mins in the playoffs
8seed Heat is the biggest threat and nobody wants to admit it
Give it up man
😬
As bucks fan, I want to say bucks, but knicks if healthy will be tough match up for Celtics! If a knicks/ Celtics 2nd round match up happens, I'd give knicks a chance for upset, they'd have to muck it up, but could be good series
So they gotta stop talking about the Lakers but we have to listen to Knicks delusion?
Knicks are scary - don’t kid yourself this team is dangerous when that defense is locked on. They will wear down any team in a 7 game series.
The Knicks have two DPOY candidates in OG and Mitchell Robinson. They were going on the trajectory before they got injured.
9:15 Shanon 🤣🤣🤣🤣
SAS say he snoring 😂😂😂😂😂
I mean. The bucks have beaten the Knicks 3 of 4 times this season sooooo
Not with anouby
@@christianhooper hey that’s true. I’ll give you that. But bucks also played the Knicks when they were under griffin and struggled tremendously on a nightly basis.
I know they’ve lost more under doc, but it’s been due to injuries and conditioning.
Bucks are a much better team now.
@@elizaschaeffer34u really believe in doc rivers in the playoffs 😬ok
Docs pick and roll between dame and Giannis isn’t scary. Teams are gonna counter that in the playoffs and doc won’t have any answer. Happened last year with embiid and harden
You've just compared 2 playoff risers to 2 playoff droppers
Molly when everyone is raising their voices: “I WANT TO YELL TOO!!!”
the way sas talks bout the knicks is how he describes cowboy fans😂
Knicks going home to Orlando in the 1st round
LMAOOOOOOO 😅
@@chriskatona1705put ya money up
realest take i’ve seen all year
First round is generous 😂
It’s clearly the bucks…foh w the Knicks 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine Having doc rivers in prime playoff mode😂😂
SAS sounds like Chris Rock when he gets loud, especially when he says "OK".
Knicks are playing hunger every night lose or win they deff a threat to celtics especially with all they key players on the floor
You guys are funny and the best omg 😭😂😂
Funny how none of them even mention middletons return 🤣
It’s actually the Cavs they are most dangerous underrated team in East…
Cavs and Mobley wet the bed every time against the Knicks. They dont have the size
Yeah that was last year lol 🤦🏾
Mitch is coming back soon. It’s better if cavs avoid us in the 1st round.!
@@emoney824Nah just a few weeks ago the Cavs lost to a Knicks team that was missing 4 of its 5 starters. The Knicks also have won the season series against them again this year. They’re scared of the Knicks. It is what it is.
bro's cooked 😂
For me, it all hinders if Doc is going to get out of the way and not over analyzing over Coach this team. Let the players play.
Mitchell Robinson hasn’t played in a long time, he’s going to have to get his feet back under him.
Julius has playoff issues not to mention he’s coming back from a dislocated shoulder.
Those are 2 pretty big “IF”s
Keep sleeping on the Magic!
Magics are underrated
Let me just make it clear that no one is close to the Celtics so why are we talking about challenges instead of talk about D whites triple double
Overrated until they prove otherwise. I only say that because of their coach
@@Jdcjr1991 Ok Bro
Really a triple double against one of the worst teams in basketball 😂
@@kylerchandler4705 watch the Celtics put everyone on questionable against the bucks on Wednesday and then just not play any starters just to mess with the bucks
His name is playoff jimmy
Milwaukee will get the Knicks outta here in 5-6
then you woke up
I bet EVERY cowboy fan wants SAS on a high, so he can come crashing down when they lose. " WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND"!!
When SAS says there’s a black cat around the cowboys- HE SCREAMS…when he mentions a black cat around the knicks- he whispers
that's not the same at all. The reason SAS teases cowboy fans all the time is because every year they think they're gonna make the superbowl. Being happy and rooting for a team is different than somehow thinking your team is championship bound every single year.
Nah. Only you have that much time on you hands
Chill im a cowboys and knicks fan lemme get one lol
Shannon telling Stephen A to "stop it" while he's sitting there believing The Lakers are going to make a run 🤣 🤣
I want to see that knicks vs miami 1st round match up.
I almost forgot about the Cavs if healthy 🤔
Are you talking about the same healthy Cavs that the Knicks ran through last season in the playoffs? 😴
@@dominicanyorktalk4980Cavs have much better shooters and different players this time around
@@eminjohnson3341 like who? 😂 Stop it. Knicks got way better than the Cavs did with OG Anunobi, Bogdanovic, and Alec Burks. If they got one game last year, they would get swept this year.
@dominicanyorktalk4980 😂 well we know the knicks are not the same. We shall see who's healthy and available I guess for either teams 😃👍🏾
I got the Knicks going the conference finals.
I wish someone has as much confidence in me like Stephen a has for the Knicks
The Knicks run the floor well and they keep pressure on every team since they got Bronson.
2:07, 2:08, 2:09, 2:10, 2:11
😅😂😂
Shannon Sharpe has a great Stephen A impersonation.
Shannons face at 0:57 😂
🤓it's this emoji
Bucks I just don't think NY got enough elite scoring, even if Randle comeback
I don't think the Bucks got enough Defense to even make it the ECF
@@willaquino5233been a top 10 defense since the All Star break. That’s plenty good enough.
They been top 5 for a long time now
@@lukekiefer5964top 10 is not enough for ECF
@@MoonIronTR lol- wrong. In the last 20 years there have been 7 teams with a defensive ranking of 7 through 11, and in 2001 the Lakers won with the 21st ranked defense. Plenty of teams make the NBA finals with even worse defensive rankings. Stats aren’t on your side on this one
I dont know. I think my sleeper is The Pacers! Tyrese Haliburton is that guy. The Pacers are 4-1 against the Bucks, 2-3 against the Celtics ( all games before Siahkim joined), 2-1 against the Knicks, 2-1 against the Cavs, 1-2 vs the Magics and that W came with Siahkim on the team to match Paolo B. Pacers is a team thatll be exciting to watch in the playoffs.
They mention Orlando magic but no Miami heat
They really said Miami only got to where they were last year because of injuries. It’s about time they started saying the truth
5:35, Even though I'm rooting for the Knicks in the East, JJ has a point here about the Bucks. And the Knicks need to get healthy💯
I don’t understand aren’t we still in regular season or is Boston already in eastern conference finals? Or these three on some drug ! Keep saying Boston in final already???? SMH
Shannon Sharpe hates JJ Redick 😂😂
As a Celtics fan, let’s run it lol I want the knicks to win
Just because you’re the biggest threat doesn’t mean you’re actually a threat 😉
If Orlando stay healthy and they all click on offense good luck trying to beat them..
Orlando are a absolute mismatch ...
Isaac and Suggs are all defence players..
Can not wait to see it all unfold
If paolo suggs wagner carter jr all have good series, I see them getting bounced in 4 or 5 games in the first round🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Once again, Miami should be the biggest threat to Boston.
SAS stay BSing abt the knicks lmaooooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Randle has to be back and needs to be comfortable in the flow...... that's a big question mark
Don’t forget Mitchel Robinson!!!!
2:05
Knicks are fools gold not winning nothing
Bucks, Knicks and Celtics fell to play in heat last year were they all fools gold? What does that make the Cavs, coal?
“It’s the truth Shannon” I know that went over some heads 😂
Explain this to me please cause I am lost
@@JAriB-ho1jp it’s from the SNL spoof of Shannon’s Katt Williams interview
Randall breaks hearts for New York every year in the playoffs
The Knicks need to get fully healthy
SAS has no shame when it comes to his Knicks.
New comedy show alert: "Stephen A. Plays Sports"
TBF if Unc is allowed to keep talking about the Lakers like they’re real contenders Stephen A can for sure say this about the Knicks.
That rocket loss really screwed the Knicks over
They sleeping on the Miami Heat again 🔥🔥🔥
No one takes the Knicks seriously this was hilarious
Clearly they have to be healthy to even make the conference finals. Brunson has been sensational, but he cannot do it by himself. If OG and Randle remain sidelined they get bumped in the 2nd round
When are OG and Randle fully coming back?
OG just came back
