JJ Redick & Stephen A. DISAGREE on Kevin Durant getting ENOUGH credit as a leader 🍿 | First Take 

The way JJ hates to hear Mad Dog talk is hilarious

Doggy is the ultimate Instigator and he doesn’t have to even say a word😂

Stephen A out here looking like he just left the Death Row Records Source magazine cover shoot back in the mid 90’s…😂😂😂

When SAS tried to bring mad dog into the convo - the look on his face was like ‘I’m good just watching you guys bicker over nothing’ 😂

JJ back on first take for 2 days and is about to get max kellermaned. These are the 2 most intense days I’ve seen in a while, and I’m here for it 😂🍿

“I don’t want ppl to call me a leader but I also don’t want them to say I’m not one”😭bro don’t kno what he want

I hate mad dog 🤣🤣 “it’s not exactly 60 minutes “ had me rolling 😭😭

SAS: “I am a black man” JJ: “Don’t give me your track record”😂

JJ speaks like he takes everything personal. LOL.

He's LITERALLY SAID, "Im NOT a Leader"...leave me alone and let me "Just Hoop". What does he expect?.

Why ain’t nobody talking about Mad Dog looking like a villain 😈😂

"JJ Redick & Stephen A. disagree" is a instant click for me 😂

JJ watched that Katt Williams interview over 100 times bruh lol

Mad Dogs expressions while others argue is the best 💀

JJ always throws the “I played in the league” card, without saying “I played in the league” 😂

MadDawg’s smirk is killing me😂😂

Mad dog just be sitting there smirking looking like Norman Osborn

Mad Dog's smirk Is really the best part of the video hahahaha

JJ gets so angry when someone disagrees with him 😂😂

Why SAS dressed like he bout to do a death row album cover photo shoot 😆

SA was right. Reddick should be president of the players association. He only sees things from there pov

JJ was quick to call out Doc for no accountability, but won’t even try to hold KD accountable for his lack of leadership.

A couple years ago on Brooklyn didn’t KD literally say he’s not a leader and just wants to ball?

I missed this…JJ and Stephen A going at it lmao. Too much brotherly love with Stephen A and Shannon we need the drama 😭

JJ is the complete opposite of Dan Orlovsky, Dan gets steamrolled by SAS and Shannon when it comes to football topics...JJ looks to roll over SAS whenever he can.

JJ better start applying at FOX

JJ is the only one who talks basketball with a realistic mindset

11:42 Props to the production team knowing the build-up was great and sliding Mad Dog in the screen. Mad Dog sitting there like "Ohh boy this is where all the fun begins now, this is entertainment right there!" LOL

SAS killed it at the end. Often JJ is on point in calling out bs. Which is important. And he called what he THOUGHT was bs this time as well. Which is good. But SAS was totally correct. We judge what we see, and KD's leadership didn't reach the level of LeBron, Magic, or Curry. He COULDN'T galvanize his players like the top tier leaders could. Leading by example is important which KD does in terms of putting in work, but that's only one component of it. All the other great leaders spared no effort in their work. But they were able to galvanize their players on TOP of that. KD doesn't get more respect as a leader because he hasn't EARNED that respect. As they say, respect is earned. We're not taking anything away from KD. But you need proof to ADD to someone's resume, and KD didn't provide that proof.

JJ’s face when MadDog speaks is priceless. 😂

😂😂😂 Molly's trying to end the segment was priceless. 😅😅

Y’all should really watch the whole KD interview instead of 1 sound bite. There was way more context to the conversation.

Steven A was cooking in this segment lmao

Mad Dog is just missing sipping a cup of tea in this scene.

I love JJ on ESPN he is blunt!

Wemby idolizes KD. He revolutionized the big man with guard like game. KD may not be an extrovert leader but he inspired guys like Wemby to play like he does now. That’s what leadership is all about. Being an inspiration

Jj was apologizing for K.d Lack of leadership. Kd said himself when got to GOLDEN STATE " He just wants to hoop" so he joined team where he didn't have to lead. AND AT BROOKLYN it didn't work out, whole thing collapsed. Kyrie said they don't need coach, KD co-signed. Was a whole lot that showed lack of leadership especially joining team u lost to after being up 3-1. Leadership requires more than skills and making shots. KD STILL ONE OF ONE AND ELITE

Maddog facial expressions is GOATED haha.

First Take be giving the heat. I'm loving it... 💯

Stephen A danced around that question like Chris Brown in stomp the yard 😂😂😂😂

"Oh JJ is on today?" The only time ESPN is Worth watching 😂

SAS actually schooled JJ on this topic. Had him looking hella confused lol. Mad Dog was crackin me up without doing really anything at all 😂

When Sas tries to dress young he fails miserably 🤣 🤣

Mad dog @ 9:19 😂😂😂

Max Kellerman haunting Stephen A. through JJ Redick (pause) is what we love to see😂😂

I love the back and forth and absolutely love JJ’s passion but I do think he gets a bit upset when there’s no need to be. Be passionate but still be cool

Love these heated debates

Simple- KD has always been a bus rider. He’s a hall of famer and is elite; however, never been the bus driver to carry his own team to a championship.

I'm so sick of JJ acting like the authority on everything just because he was a mid player in the league.

JJ and SAS going at it is absolutely great! 😂

KD shifted the balance of the NBA with every team he joined. Acknowledging that is giving credit.

JJ Reddick, I like you but you talking nonesense!!!!! KD is friend so He is Biaised - He is not objective!!!! That's why he is not qualified to educate us about criticizing Basket ball players!! Steven A is qualified cause he is objective and roasted everyone! Noone is questioning Durant no being a Good Player!! He is but no Leader! Before he went to Golden State, they were winning and When he left the Golden States they Still WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Leader doesn't go for what makes him happy. He prioritizes what makes his team happy, Durant is pursuing happiness at the expenses of his teammates? He's no leader! He's an amazing player though! Right now is the time for him to prove that he a leader. He's the experienced player on a young team... Lead them to victory and we'll open the debate of you being a leader! LEbron left the cavs, went to Miami, won titles, came back to the cavs, won a title the went to the Lakers, won a title... That's a Leader but not like the REAL LEADERS JORDAN (evemn tho I think LBJ > Jordan) and Curry who stayed on their Team to win titles!!!

JJ Rolling his eyes while the old heads talked was awesome xD

Stephen A and JJ really had a very tense exchange that got personal.

When JJ started talking his ish Stephen a Smith put that ear bud in real quick like...who da puck this new ninja taking too 😂🤣😭

I love how they just cut Molly off there at the end. 😂😭

I rarely agree with SAS, but I agree with SAS.

Mad dog gives massive grinch vibes & I love it 😂

Stephen a is right, jj would defend a player no matter what they did

Mad Dog's face 😂

Love JJ Reddick energy 💯

I mever seen Mad dog this entertained. His silence said alot lol. Great take

"Can I respond?" (SAS). Of course you can, it's your show"(JJ Redick). 😂😂😂

Thank you Mr Bus Rider for riding the bus.

“Its not 60 minutes” 😂 i love Mad Dog

This Trio is my favorite! Mad Dog has my dying laughing!!! And JJ face 😂💀

Just love the oh-please-don''t-mind-me vibe oozing out of Mad Dog 😂😂😂

That was an incredibly solid debate

I love the debate!! Fire it up boys!!

Yall think Jj getting fired, I think this is a great conversation lmao. They both making excellent points.

JJ looking thrilled to be on the show

Ayoooo JJ be Wylin made hella sense … but he deff came crazy at SAS 🤣🤣 he looked like he wanted to fight

Fire Take♥️

Both great arguments, this was a good one.

Great segment

This was a great segment. Not overly dramatic and great dialogue

KD sounds so confused as to what he wants. 😂

Stephen A And Mad Dog Are Right💯

Luv those 5’s Kev!!!👏🔥💯🎯

That was a great discussion. I hope the respect is there between them all (JJ and SAS in particular) because I'd like to see other interesting subjects get thrashed out between them.

SAS in the mirror this morning like, "King Kong ain't got shyt on me" 😂

This is an example of two intelligent dudes getting to the business...i respect the dialogue

Mad Dog's take is built for radio and a little old school but I love it.

Sas speaking facts we love Jj energy and won’t back down entertaining

It would be nice for ESPN to pick up some NBA analysis show pregame. Taking the time to go over what teams have been doing.

Perfect example to reply a crazy argument “let’s address the question”

Finally, the first take I love!

JJ the Protector 😂 You can guarantee he has the players’ back

Great episode but its another episode ending at the wrong time 😢

Editing on point cutting out Molly at the end 😂

I love JJ & Stephen A. It's a great mix!!!

JJ will be joining Max Kellerman very soon😂😂

JJ is too aggressive in conversation and completely disrespects Mad Dog. This is similar to how Richard Sherman is towards Skip. Maybe some group therapy for Sherm and JJ is in order.

They cut it off at the perfect time when Molly was about to speak.

JJ - keep doing your thing. It’s great for sports to get player perspectives and I know JJ brings a lot of great stuff to this show. Just when I thought there would be a lull in sports due to NFL ending, JJ was a giving people something to talk about!

All you had to say to counter what jj said about Kevin durant winning finals mvp is where is the finals mvp when he goes to a team built around him. The warriors won before and after him. All durant had to do in golden state was play. Draymond was the vocal leader behind that team. Every situation where durant had to step up and lead he couldn't get it done OKC, BKN, and so far PHX. All three of those teams he was on was stacked okc russ james harden and serge ibaka. Brooklyn kyrie, james harden and a bunch of shooters. PHX bradely beal, Devin Booker.

"Well, it was great having JJ on First Take. I wish him nothing but luck on his future endeavors." - Stephen A. Smith

The moment someone disagrees with JJ this guy starts yelling and goes to the fact that he played in the league his marriage must be miserable 😂😂😂

Gotta agree with Stephen A on this one

SAS hairline moved back some more.😂
