Its wilddddd cos all KD did was join an already 73-9 team to get some rings and all of a sudden Skips mind changed. After seeing this vid im done with taking skip seriously
M K he’s a hypocrite. The only reason he calls PG George Paul is because he wants to downplay how good he was because LeBron and the heat kept facing the pacers and defeating them. So when his fans look back they’ll say oh LeBron faced George Paul
He was trolling and SAS fell for the bait... you can see it in his face... he wanted SAS to go off to make a point, he's lowkey always loved KD more the LBJ and he set SAS up here
Swish Dipper dude is the greatest pf of all time and most would agree the one of the greatest team leaders in bball history next to magic. Watch ur mouth
Here we are, June 19, 2019, and Skip Bayless wakes up stroking it to KD everyday simply because he has 2 titles that he got with a "front of the line" pass
as a nba fan how cool would it have been to see kd go 2003 duncan 1994 hakeem 2011 dirk or 2019 kawhi and will okc to a title ..we would respect him more for that then 2 with the warriors...sorry...wade in 06 as well...mj in 98 imo willed that team to a title
These old ESPN FIrst Take segments are legendary man... Love em.. SKip and Cari have both gone their separate ways and they're doing great, and Stephen A is still doing his thing..
Andrew Blackop you realize you said 4 years later he saying he’s the best in the world...then in the next sentence said that the media changes their opinions everyday. That makes no sense
You have to remember the context behind Skips opinion. This was not too long after KD called out Skip for his criticism of Russ and said he dont know basketball
kd outplayed kobe in 2012 he outplayed wade too he outplayed lebron scoring wise in the 2012 finals...these takes even then were insane...kd since the playoffs of 2012 has been a top 2 player on earth with lebron at worst third when he broke his foot and curry came up hard and now that he got hurt again and kawhi and giannis have come up...its insanity to think otherwise...its blasphemous
How skip go from is kd not a top 3 player to now that he joined a 73-9 team with 2 time mvp Steph curry and kklay Thompson and draymond now he the best player in the world 4 years later 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Here we are, June 19, 2019, and Skip Bayless wakes up stroking it to KD everyday simply because he has 2 titles that he got with a "front of the line" pass
And now he calls KD the best player in the league ahead of all those guys when he basically puts up the same numbers he was putting up in OKC lol Skip is a walking contradiction smh
Its very funny how things change ... Today Skip Bayless says Paul George is not a superstar and is afraid of LeBron and James harden disappears from games like nobody else . Also they didn't believe in Steph Curry because he is too small (even if skip always says he would have draft him #1in the draft) .
Well Paul George did get injured and hasn’t been the same player since but yeah the disrespect kd got was ridiculous no way you can even put 2 players above kd back then, wade was past his prime even in his prime kd was better but that’s debatable, Duncan was old, Paul George pre injury isn’t better than kd, James harden is not better than kd, lilard isn’t above kd
People don’t understand skips method behind this, this was one take that skip let his emotion get in the way. This is a little after KD said skip “doesn’t know basketball” after skip was defending KD forever. It upset him a lot and he didn’t want to give him any credit at that point
I like undisputed more but this show was undeniably fun and entertaining. Watching these old clips takes me back to middle school riding in the car with my dad listening to Mike n mike and watching first take at home
What exactly does Kevin Durant individually do now that he didn’t do back in OKC? He has always been in my top 3 players in the league, even back in 2014 but people kill me with the whole “he is the best player in the world now”. He really hasn’t gotten much better then he was back in okc. People claim he plays better defense, but does he? The warriors play a defense that shrinks the floor and depends on each-other. When you have two all nba defensive players on your team, yeah your defense will look great. So again, what has KD really done to be the best player in the league now instead of then???
Bruuuh. I literally made the EXACT same points a couple months back. Smh. All he did was join a team that wouldve been the championship favorites without him. Fast forward 3 years later to now and even though the Ws lost this finals, it was TUFFFFF for the RAPs. What team could lose their "best" player and still be that good? I cant stand the Ws, but with a healthy Klay, I believe they woulda took it.
daquan beamon “when you have two all nba defensive players on your team your defense will look great” your Dumb asf then why doesn’t Steph Curry’s defense look that good??
King James individually yes curry doesn’t play lockdown/crazy defense. But he does disrupt a lot of plays, wonder why just a few years ago he led the league in steals. Same goes for KD. He plays great HELP defense, he is 7’0 tall so yeah he will average some blocks. But how many times have we heard/seen KD completely lock someone down?
lets be honest SAS and skip were the goat duo of sports television ,espn should've given skip whatever he wanted mans the lebron james of sports media lololol
