LeBron or KD: Who is under more pressure to win a title? JJ Redick says NEITHER 👀 | First Take 

Yep, the show is not Legitimate lol. God is!

He gonna be asked to leave soon 😂

@@datsapaddlin Yup, he's too factual and doesn't scream enough outlandish opinions

JJ smarter than them both

JJ is avenging Max Kellerman and also taking on toxic media and culture while wearing a suit and being unapologetic. I love this

That’s the point of a debate show

@@smokeonthis2913 I get it , but can't you just accept logical reasoning 🤣

@@smokeonthis2913 Pfft, yes in America it certainly seems like the point is to scream the most outlandish stupid opinions. If that is the point, how can these types of shows in other countries even have viewers? Cause the analyst here discuss things in a factual way, without making outlandish opinions that are so stupid they likely don't even believe them themselves😂

@@atlebakke you foreigners love talking about America this America that. Stop with the envy

@@amogh2799 it’s like the friend who picks both everytime you ask his preference on something. We get what JJ is saying but for the fun of the show, I mean they do have a show he should at least entertain the idea

He has insider info on NBA max and skip were general sports person like SAS...I liked Max but J.J is only for NBA but not overall sports and that's the difference...when it's NFL they have the play maker Micheal irvin..SAS scared of folks who show him up

@@streetdisciple30 Your point about JJ Redick being an NBA specialist is well taken. On a general sports show, he would need to talk about other sports, which he might be able at a general level but he might not feel completely comfortable with. I still think he could manage it, because of how good of a sports mind he has. He could pick things up. But it would definitely be a consideration.

Stephen A would never have him as a permanent replacement. He exposes how stupid this entire show is.

I'm sure all Prince James lovers want JJ Redick on here permanently 😂

Plus he never interrupts and let’s Stephen A talk till he finishes. Idk it pisses me off when they cut each other off in the past with max or skip

😂 SAS just wants him to pick one instead of being honest and causing drama. JJ too real

Lmao Drama Queen

The guy who never played a single second of a professional basketball game is going to teach 15 year NBA vet about the NBA. The arrogance on SAS...

@KW Entertainment thanks

Facts

True. Sas is about ratings and JJ is about boring facts. Better create more drama or he’s gonna have to stick to podcasts. Lol.

@@bobbyw1074 lol I like JJs kinda basketball talk. Stephen A gets ratings because he’s just funny. JJs way smarter when it comes to basketball though 😂

@KW Entertainment appreciate it bro

So true. The whole “Brady cliff” prediction was Max’s attempt to create a splash in the hot take industry. It’s not his style at all.

Stop it. JJ stay lying to save the true point LeBron and KD never won anything until they played on teams with more talent on their rosters then anybody else in the league but when they face teams that has equal talent they both loses

@@theetruth8626 your argument literally cancels it self out, since Lebron and KD both played against each other and won rings against each other lol

@@theetruth8626 stop it you can’t spell and don’t watch basketball

@@keefriff99 you realize that there are clips of max making hot takes like igudola taking the last shot over curry. Max was the antithesis of logic

I don’t think JJ will last on First Take. He’s too real; he’s too authentic. These days, I only watch First Take when I see JJ or Perkins in the thumbnail. Stephen A. just tells it how he feels it. I think that’s a scape goat when millions of people watch his show. There is a responsibility to use words precisely when one influences so many individuals. When emotions are high, logic is low, and vice versa. Wisdom is the balance, and where there is wisdom, we can find truth. Like Perk, JJ brings the wisdom to First Take. So, the question is: why watch First Take? For the drama? For the emotional outbursts that suck energy and clarity from its viewers? No thanks. I’d rather not be deluded by narratives that are used to incite false negativities. Stephen’s show is a place where he can unload his feelings, and upload his ego. It’s not a place for REAL sports talk.

Always…

Not just top 75, KD and LeBron are both in at least the top 20 all time.

JJ full of 💩 and there's definitely some pressure on KD to win one "on his own"

@@faisalsalam4161 everyone agrees. I was just referring to the 75 anniversary list the NBA came out with a short time ago.

@@bobbyshaw2419 if he is feeling pressure to win one on his own then he is on the wrong team. He has two fellow all stars on his team now.

@@wickedwood04 they were assembled so it's different, he didn't join a already loaded team

I think he likes this… I don’t think he minds getting embarrassed if the show is better.

@@Internal_radio When Max embarrassed him he gets so mad to where he kicked him off

Hes not getting owned JJ running and sugar coating facts

@@theetruth8626 sugar coating what? He can have that view because he used to be an athlete. The media always creates narratives all the time. If anything Stephen a tap dances is all the time. Kevin Durant does not care about pressure. lmfao

I'm lost at what yall are watching. Jj didn't own anything. There is always pressure. Jj wasn't as good as any superstar to speak there's no pressure. Everytime jj lost, u think people were blaming him🤔

Max still haunts SAS.

Stephen A. sitting there like bring back Max. 😫😫😫

Got rid of max cause he stoop up against him... replaced him with another max

How is he right? Kids are so lost these days it's crazy. If you stack the deck in your favor there is definitely pressure on you to win..Period. If you don't you are exposed...Lord help us🤦🏾‍♂️....Y'all think those Jake Paul fights are real too 🤣

@@nalokitten Bron has 4 rings and at WORST the 3rd best player ever. KD is almost top 10, known as a top 5 scorer in NBA history. If they win, legacy boost. If they don't, in 10 years, no one will care lmao. Rings are icing on the cake for them. HARDEN AND RUSS have pressure tho

Fox will gladly take him 😂

I hope ESPN doesnt bring back Steven A Smith. He is just so annoying these days.

1:40 - 1:48 , Molly turns her body towards JJ Reddick & gives a wide smile 😃, like she is Smitten 😍 by JJ Reddick. Again between 2:40 - 2:46 she does the same wide smile. Both times JJ Reddick doesn’t even care to notice . Looks like Molly is smitten by the guy as she is single , I mean it’s national TV & she is expressing it whole heartedly.

@@ineverfold1506 she’s married to Jalen Rose. Tf are you talking about?

You hope you're wrong, come on you really want him gone?

Ain't the team what makes the sucess playing with multiple superstars is a different then not having them right

Exactly! These are the words, he used to tell "Max".... Answer the question! JJ answers the question, Stephen A, just didn't like his answer. So, let's twist a couple of words and turn it into a public debate, on which "TEAM" has more pressure. As. JJ said this is a media-created narrative. Yes, the players put pressure on themselves... "TO WIN" every time they touch the court.

He’s not wrong

it is their job after all lol

Fans are just as toxic stop it

It’s a lot of real stories to be told in the nba. They choose a different direction tho

@@Helloim_anthony please Fans are generally alright this is the toxic media that makes hate for no reason other to hate. Just respect greatness and enjoy it with both of these players.

Yeah now he has two things working against him with Stephen a

JJ is gonna drop so many truth bombs that he's gonna obviously be treated just like Max sooner or later. :P

But with kyrie and harden?

How when he got a very unhealthy roster?

He don't have the impact to win without having multiple superstars same as LeBron that's why people gotta quit hyping up myths like they goat players

@@melon9440 of superstars and starter quality players that nobody else has on their roster beside LeBron that tells u something about them boys heart and impact on the game

@@crimsoncloud6352 It would be a team he led at least

Stop lying he running from the fact he played on a super team and lost. So he's very sensitive about the super team topic because super teams are built for players who can't win if odds was even

@@theetruth8626 made it to the finals without one soo.. not like he needed to be on one

Max had basketball knowledge. He had some ridiculous takes but he was on point at times too. Show fell off without him

Dre was just uncomfortable with the attention Max gave to him on such a platform...and sometimes people made fun of Max using the Iggy gif meme, which obviously Dre would prefer not to go there. But Max well he's been proven quite so accurate about Dre as a clutch player in his own right.

Facts

This segment epitomizes the problem with ESPN bruh...

Speak for yourself.

Stop lying LeBron couldn't win no championship when competition was even up same as KD

bro, they are asking which has more pressure... how is none? no pressure? they have to win every year, they get paid for it. Stop this no pressure thing. They HAVE to win.

He’s not the first

Kd either his team is a disaster rn Part time Kyrie and James hardens hamstring injuries. But I agree Lebron has 0 pressure this is dumb they just like bringing him up everyday

If you think lebron is going through the motions then you’re a pure casual. If he was just going through the motions he wouldn’t be averaging over 29 a game which is the most since his first stint in Cleveland over a decade ago. Sure he takes plays off and picks and chooses when he turns on the after burners but that’s completely different than going through the motions...

Bron is not going through motions

@@jakeman025 all because he’s going through the motions don’t mean he doesn’t have to put his all in the game every night. He’s riding it till the wheels fall off.

@@quentincassell840 lol I meant just riding his career out at this point

Exactly lmao

He’s def top 2 lmfao top 5 ridiculous

He's in the conversation...so he's at GOAT status whether you like it or not. Hop off you know who's nuts.

Top 5 all time: GOAT Kobe Magic Kareem Duncan

@@MrGenexxx Kobe and Tim Duncan in the top 5 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So the obvious answer is KD

Lebron won Disney joke ring. No fans, no road games, no other teams wanting to be there except for Lakers. And he wasn’t even the best Laker in the bubble. It was AD.

@@MrGenexxx dont tell the true to the fanboys bro... remember olympics game when every bron fan wants kd to lose

That's the bubble LeBron been 1st round exits missing the playoffs and everything else in La

Lakers won while everyone else lost but the winners are getting clowned more than the losers. Funny how that works.

@@MrGenexxx Funny because I remember Lebron won Finals MVP. Am I correct?

Same as Miami big 3 and Cleveland big 3 was all in their prime and KD was the best player on the warriors so what is u saying curry had to take a back seat to KD

@@theetruth8626 yah AD should lead the way for the Lakers. Let LeBron be the point guard, rebound and defend. He was around top 20 in defensive win shares the year they won the chip. I think he is still capable of defending.

Jani Oni-saman Ola af! 29/7/7 yr 19 stats better than kd& steph but old af. Ok

@@theetruth8626 curry didn’t take a back seat that man was the best player on the court for countless of the games together… people who think kd was the best player just because he has a fmvp award given narrative driven media members is false. Not to mention Steph was better in first 3 rounds of 2016/17 and better in the finals in 2017/18

@@leonardomoore1868 yeah he old. His stats are better but they still struggling. He cant drag a team to the playoffs anymore. He should not be your number 1 option. Let him focus on the things that he is God tier like playmaking.

@@Ali-fo4uv even 1 more ring and a fmvp he's debatably top 5. Only Lebron and MJ would have more FMVP's

@thelegendsqb1 - totally agree with you. No matter how great KD is, his rings don't stack up to others in the top 10 because that GS team was too OP. But just based on raw talent and what he did with Brooklyn this season and last playoffs puts him in conversation. But you're right... he needs the extra jewelry and adversity to solidify his place in that top tier.

@@02buddha02 you couldn't agree more, skill wise KD is top 5, but career wise for sure top 10-15 and would move up if another fmvp without Steph

KD is already top ten he needs about 2 more rings to move to the top 5 which he would have if it weren’t for injuries in 2019 and last season vs the bucks

@@letstalkbasketball727 don't think KD is above Kobe, and usually Kobe is not top 10(top 7 to me)

Without Warriors okay, he went to the finals at age 23, carried a young OKC team with the worst spacing in NBA history averaged 30 points on 65% TS. He left for a reason that’s on his team not him. Now in Brooklyn everything is getting interrupted by injuries. KD doesn’t have anything to prove, he’s already one of the GREATEST scorers of all time.

Nobody cares what “people” want. Among his peers, KD is NBA royalty. He has nothing to prove

@@anthonyhands5690 Exactly

@@plybc he hadn’t proved that he can lead a team to win it all. He couldn’t finish the job up 3-1. I don’t want to hear about spacing when you were up 3-1 against the greatest team in NBA history and choked. It’s not the fact that KD left the thunder, it’s the fact that he went to the team that beat him and the team that beat him had an unanimous MVP and was on its way to become a dynasty. KD ruined the NBA for years when he went to the warriors. He might be the greatest scorer ever but to me, his rings mean nothing. Anyone with a competitive nature wouldn’t do what kd did, he has no shame and no drive. Lebron joined a heat team with just Wade and didn’t they go out in the first round before lebron came. Bosh came after lebron came and so I don’t to hear any comparisons between KD and lebron move either. KD has to prove that he can lead a team to a championship and period.

@@javonniblevins8141 that’s how I view it as well. Kd joined the team that has the greatest record and joined them. Imagine bron joining the best team ever made. His rings would mean less. But he beat the greatest team in 2016 but then they added KD. 🤔

You do know that the nets are still a top 5 favorite even with health issues right?

Nothing to gain? Seriously?

@@zingisamahlasela seriously, nobody expects them to win a championship. If the Nets are fully healthy, different story.

@@stefancarter5014 Top 5 is nice but do you think that's enough to get the chip? Suns and Bucks will be taking that if they don't get their health sorted.

@@seanclaxton2627 never said they was winning the chip or beating bucks I just proved a point that the nets are a high expectation team cause a lot of people still are picking them when he said nobody was expecting nothing from the nets

Yeah even when JJ stupidly saying there was always Super Teams and that Shaq and Kobe was one like how RETARDED can one analyst be 🤦🏾‍♂️

No LeBron has won with 7 different franchise players on his rosters what have he won without having more then everyone else

KD created this situation himself. He left GSW to have his own legacy outside of GSW. GSW made moves to keep him, but he still decided to go, joined with KD, blew up their role players to get Harden, add aging All-Star vets to win one without GSW..... We should be talking of a possible GSW vs Nets finals but we arent even close to that.

Its obvious on this one since KD needs one without GSW. KD going to the Nets and having his own team is all about him winning one without GSW.

Uhhh bc he a sports media guy & ppl love a story

@@princecheck11 Exactly, this is entertainment for the people.... and look at the conversations of fans.. its all about legacies. Just before KD left GSW everyone was talking about he needs to win one without GSW as everyone was calling him a cupcake.... he is now with the Nets with 2 other stars.. and somehow now there is no pressure on KD?! BS... people here are just siding on such a terrible take by JJ because they don't like SAS when in reality this is a horrible take from JJ as even he knows that KD needs one outside of GSW..... When KD needs a burner account on social media, you know he even knows how his move to GSW made him look. I don't knock him for going to GSW, and gain the Championship experience but you gotta translate that to your own just like how Lebron already has proven.

Literally Golden State

@@CJJohnston6 Yeah to me Warriors were organically formed b4 kd addition

Bubblegum ring

@@jhad777 let’s talk bubblegum losses

Mickey Mouse don’t count. Outside of Disney all he has accomplished is getting to the 1st round

Lmao coaches getting fired and players getting traded for a ring that doesn’t count. That logic doesn’t make any sense. If the ring doesn’t count why are owners and GMs making these moves?

@@twizzy6760 I’m sorry but you don’t get to choose what counts, now go back to moms basement.

Everybody on earth knows this 😂😂

It's the media that demands more bec Lebron plays that game as he's a MEDIA PUPPET BOY hence that's WHY he gets so much heat and hate as he making constant outbursts and manipulations through the media to teams, GMs and teammates.

To join them stained his legacy he could of win without them in okc

How is it any pressure on champions

Can't win with y'all, when he was there "doesn't count, they were champions before", leaves and now it's " HE LEFT RINGS ON THE TABLE, def getting his legacy stained" fk off

@@jamaal9911 Cuz KD Won Cheap Rings… Putting Yourself In A Position Where It’s Impossible To Lose, Makes Your Championship Less Valuable… Joining GS Was Clearly Unfair… He Gotta Prove He Can Win A Normal Ring

@@ZimMill so Rodman wins with Chicago aren’t valid. KD was a free agent and decided to leave to better his chances at a ring. That would mean LeBron championships with Miami isn’t valid as well according to your perspective

Same with LeBron what have LeBron every won without multiple franchise players on it that every other superstar dont

Bruh they get paid millions to play a game. Don’t you think they deserve the pressure

Its THE ATHLETES JOB THATS WHY THEY GET PAID MILLIONS SMH.

@@adrianortega4303 jajaja I bet my life that your a millennial jajaja

@@blowc1612 jajaja I bet your a millennial too jajaja

The only athletes that feel pressure are the bench players and th players that don’t have a guaranteed contracts Do y’all really think that a star or a superstar feels pressure when they got 25 to 40 million garanteed contracts per year y’all need to be realistic and stop watching espn so much But don’t worry y’all will learn with age 😂😂😂🤦🤦🤦

Nathaniel A he is the GOATbcuz the last time I checked lakers won a championship already. But plz make it make sense bcuz he says he is the goat he has to win 2 chips now and kd doesn't have to win 0. U can always tell a lebron hater bcuz they always exposes themselves as casual basketball fans.

@@dewman7477 GOAT! Accept it

@@leonardomoore1868 he’s not that’s your opinion

Nah he need it s to go to the great greats

The deck will always be stacked. Either by athletes or by team management. Any athlete that says winning championships doesn't define their career have not won a championship.

@@ldog240 must of not heard Bron or KD then. Throw Kyrie in there too!

haha okey

Oh, you mean 'that Mickey Mouse Bubble title that they were virtually gifted because the true GOAT of LA died that same year'? Rest assurred that little tidbit will come back up if the Lakeshow doesn't win another title before Bron leaves... Sure, KD could've stayed. He's already vilified, so the fact of 'not belonging' shouldn't have mattered to his overall success. He already knows his narrative will follow him regardless of what he did. Only way it goes away is if he manages to two-peat as the centerpiece of the team.

@@HintedImage Could have would have should have doesn’t matter if your team won you wouldn’t say anything

But are the nets healthy ?

@@HintedImage Your English sucks and your “Goat” has only one mvp and 2 fmvp lol. Also you don’t get to choose what rings counts son😬

@@HomoErectus311 Considering they haven't been healthy since they have all been together it is hard for me to think they will be. Every year it is something with the Nets.

I agree and LeBron was the best player from 2011-12 to 2018 then a healthy KD took over

@@letstalkbasketball727 I personally think 2018 LeBron was the best player in the league. But Durant in the playoffs this past season was worthy of the best player in the world title for sure.. Either way the point remains.. Winning a championship doesn't make one player better than the other.

Lebron’s legacy is top 10. Maybe top 7 at best.

@@MrGenexxx ok. Sure buddy

“If Russ was not there, kd would have won” that’s BS Russ had many games better than kd from 2011-2016 in the playoffs saying that just shows that current Russ is making y’all forget his impact on the thunder teams.
