Steph-Klay or Kawhi-Paul George: Which NBA duo would you rather have? | First Take 

Pandemic P and Kawhi Brickerd combined of 0 points in fourth quarter 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It’s as if the Flippers were already assured of the chip even before the season started. Now look at them 🤣🤣🤣

Someone share this clip on twitter so Stephen A. can decapitate Max

Kawhi kawho

Kawhi and pg stay hurt also pg doesn’t show up in the playoffs

Kawhi and pg stay hurt also pg doesn’t show up in the playoffs

herasucks Im a Clippers fan and I’ve watched every game ... Kawhi’s playmaking has reached a level that isn’t seen in many other SFs. On his caliber. Career high averages in assists

Ibrahim Cønteh his play making is still not on the level of steph, and like the comment said these are two guys that are an established duo and can cover for each other’s weaknesses. PG and kawhi are both very similar

😂😂

I think we just have to let Maxx be Maxx. Kinda like women. Just gotta let them express their feelings and just agree.

Joel Morales or close minded people, can’t understand his sharp points all the time

Joel Morales Bruh!!! 😂😂😂

@@worlstar8163 We All Know Klay Was Gonna Go Crazy, He Was On Fire I Call Em Game 6 Klay, Greatest Ever

Toronto dodge a bullet with Klay going down. He was lighting them up

Yeah and curry would have played a great game 7 as he played against rockets and okc, probably better than his game 3 performance, still it was so sad to see steph when klay went down, he knew at that time, cuz he was gonna get double teamed

@@Jay-dn2pg true but throughout the year everyone kept hyping up the clippers and Kawhi leonard. The fact is Kawhi and the raptors won against a depleted Golden state team. Because of that everyone became a prisoner of the moment and began saying Kawhi was the best player in the league and Clippers are the best team in the league. And Max was leading this parade so yea he does seem like a joke rn

This is why I can't watch this show because they just say anything to get people to watch!!!! Healthy Steph and Klay over any duo in the league.

Dude forreals watch out for the warriors next season. I’m laker fan and the warriors would be the one team I would be scared to play with step and klay heathy they get so hot so fast

What about klay+ kawhi= lock down defense+ deadly mid range on both of them

@@cartiercartier2171 woah chill out there.. Lebron and Anthony D over Steph and Klay all day everyday, Steph and Klay always had Draymond with them and Kevin freaking Durant bruhhh😂

@Jarard Jones lmao gsw win in 2015 NBA finals and beat rockets without Durant and swept blazers without Durant and came back 3-1 against Durant and took Raptors to game 6 without Durant tf are u talking about lmao

It doesn't

Good point tho

miccheck11 it dont

Very good man .

Yup and Playoff P (don’t even know why he has that nickname), hasn’t done anything.

Ogs remember when clippers also blew a 3-1 lead to the rockets

Sehnkai. Facts and I was rooting against the warriors but even I agree

Sal Vulcano me too

This (game 6 Klay) line needs more attention

Sehnkai. 2018 playoff LeBron is definitely better

Sal Vulcano lmfaoooooooooooooo

Asrar Farooqui I like how you worded it, like max is a serious lebron fan, instead of saying cavs team

and cavs won over an injured gsw squad

the warriors have cruised to the playoffs because of injuries that’s what the playoffs is about.

Was looking for this comment.

@@mrclean9513 love to see it lol

I guess y’all even seen pandemic p yet lol

Call me when they win 70 games and blow a 3-1 lead in the finals oh wait. They got lucky in 2015, 2016 they got owned and then Draymond cried to KD in 2016 lol.

Call me when they don't need 3 superstars

Greatomeister remember when LeBron cried to the league about suspending Draymond or when in the same series Bogut was injured and Steph got injured earlier since you want to talk about luck

Greatomeister that is the most washed up argument that everyone makes... 🤦🏼‍♂️

Greg Cantela Did you just call a Klay Thompson, One of the best defensive guards in the league, a defensive liability? What TF have you been watching

And it won't happen this year either

@Noah Gaming Klay is not as good as kawhi please dont mention klays name in the same breath as kawhi leonard

@@phoenixplayz1581 he's way better than paul george tho lol. and currys better than kawhi so stfu

3 of those finals were from the courtesy of KD. The year they won 73, they lost in the finals. Let’s not forget Delly was LeBron’s second best player in their first finals. Lol.

Topsy Kretts steph averaged almost a triple double in each of those finals so yeaaaaa And 2016 was injuries

with Draymond and KD and they wouldn’t have a single ring if the Cavs were healthy and KD didn’t shift the balance of power 🤦🏻‍♂️

Topsy Kretts and why was durant on the warriors in the first place? Because kd wanted to play with Curry/Klay even after Curry/Klay beat Durant/Westbrook in the 2016 wcf. Btw curry/Klay won six games in a row to reach the 2019’Finals without Durant. Only lost Finals because Klay got injured.

@@topsykretts2264 lol they had a 3-1 lead. Bogut got hurt. NBA's unnecessary suspension on Draymond. They blew it to some extent but they had it. Also, there's no way to know if without KD they wouldn't be good. Games were easier but that doesn't mean they won't still win it all if that money went to someone not KD.

Lillard won't even be in the playoffs.

All teams.

Keefe Wong 😂😂

Keefe Wong omg😂😂

Lillard won’t be worrying about anything other than where he going to vacation come playoff time

Their is no arguably they are the 2 best shooters of all time lol

They are easily the two best shooters of all time so that's not debatable. Agree with you tho

DJ Whitlock he’s better than pg to be honest he don’t sink under pressure

Shaun Livingston I mean people argue that Reggie Miller or ray Allen shoots better than klay but I think it’s 1. Steph and 2. Klay 🤷🏽‍♂️

Ill just say this, Kawhi has won 2 titles with various different players. One with the clippers would certainly make all of you guys look like morons. Of course the duo that has Kawhi in it is better. Kawhi is head and shoulders better than all three of those players. This is absolutely a crazy question. Klay and steph have 1 title with just them. They have 2 more with durant. All this talk about steph and klay is silly, they are all time great shooters with MASSIVE holes everywhere else in their games.

Curry is the real joke

PG isn't elite in the Playoffs.

Zubeir yea 2x MVP 3x Time champ Greatestt shooter ever he’s totally a joke

Dr0pkidd he took LeBron James heat to a game 7 in 2013 in the playoffs

And he can light it up 37 in a quarter or 60 in 29 minutes

J G 5 points

The question asked at full strength

Irrelevant

Haiti bayb how the blazers doing right now huh

Andrew Ross that was a dumb comment. Saying that Portland sucks just further proves that PG is overrated since he lost to a crappy Portland team.

😭

That's dumb

ThatDude1015 how. Klay and Curry as a duo took their team to the finals 3 times

GP gonna be a squid in the playoffs

Temanchi did he actually say that or r u making it up

He only averaged 29 a game. While having a elbow that needed to be drained ask curry how much that changes your shot. He also needed surgery on his knee. Also last year he had two torn shoulders and hit the last shot for OKC until Westbrook became westbrick

Flood Season 1:25

@@joshuavirag1407 nobody cares what you average if you lose the series.

Malek Dagash this is a ridiculous debate

Blue Face agreed. This isn’t even close.

And it ain't even close

Malek Dagash they got titles for two reasons, injuries and Kevin Durant. The one title they got without Durant was against Lebron with no Kyrie and no Kevin Love.

The trash brother lls

Izzy World danny green?! The disrespect to klay is crazy.

No way he said that lmao where the receipts bro ?? I gotta see it to believe it

Tha Huncho Big faxx. I don’t wanna believe it.

Max is a dh sometimes🤷🏿‍♂️

Tbh he’s right, they had Kd, green does what klay does but klay does a little better

He just wants to be right. Switch is why when he is wrong he switches sides and puffs out his chest like he was on the right side all along... He shits on Giannis now. Shits on Harden now. Oh remember when he said AD was gonna be better than lbj once the season was done. Oh but guess what he said that like 2 years ago lmao.

Mohamed Omar easily

Mohamed Omar exactly what I thought

Idk about winning game 7. Don’t like “ifs” but people forget the raptors almost won game 5 but coach Nurse chocked with the bad time out

I agree, a game 7 would have made Raptors very nervous

Mohamed Omar exactly

I completely and totally agree with you. Max just tends to get a bit over-exited and lose touch with reality every time Kawhi's name pops up these days

Yea but they are 2 way players and both top 10 with kwahi being top 3

Periodtttttttt. 👌👌👌👌

@Keenan Powell that dude rly said Klay doesn't shoot from 30 😂 😂

@ATL 1 are you serious? Go back to watch hokey please. Your place isn't here. I can't even have an argument with you

Gilbert Gacusana let em know mfkas forgot lol

I’m not a GS fan. But let me tell you... the nba forgot. The fans did.

No KD dominated the league and the Splash Brothers are front runners!! We’ll see what they do without KD!!

@@donaldtillman4351 dominated? So that was the reason why he rode the splash ship ey? Cuz he dominated right? Lol

Remember they begged him and when he got there he won both Finals MVPs Oh any BTW they didn't lose any 3-1 leads either with KD there!

Facts 😂

I lost it when he said that

And ill tell you why

I thought I'm the only one.. hahaha

Didn't he mean Paul George is good in the playoffs? I understood it like that, but I don't know

Jon155 PG air balled in Indiana, lost in the first round to Donovan Mitchell then got gamed by dame last year...most overrated superstar in some time

PG13 would destroy S. curry like a child in the playoffs. S. Curry hides behind k. thompson.

@@elmalloc lol u obviously never watched a basketball game in your life

PG13 averaged 30 in the playoffs last year with injured shoulders

Weeb protector and people forget the only reason they’re offense works is because they ACTUALLY TRY on defense

I’ll take Bron & AD

Dr. Know im a laker fan id take steph and klay, these dudes get hot to the point players half heartedly play transition defense that 3 ball is game changing

@@biglicker4473 Kawhi would destroy Curry on offense. Curry can't clamp up

Swanky Giggity aren’t you missing the point? It’s a debate about duos not individuals. Kawhi winning over Steph on defense/offense isn’t really a shocker.

😂😂

Syed Hoque how many finals mvps does steph have?

TheMoreGreatnes Productions how many does Paul George have lmfao

Danny Kim how many does klay have?

@@caelevstephan4283 I don't even see the relevance of winning a fmvp in this argument, idk just sayin'

Lorenzo Cruz cuz the dude mentioned playoff reliability

Steph and Klay could play in any era. Stephen A. Smith needs to stop with that. PG hasn't proven anything. Remember playoff P anyone? Klay is very elite defender and Steph is actually underrated. Klay Thompson has upped his handle. Kawhi and Steph are the Superstars. Draymond and Klay are nobodies without Steph and you can make the case for kawhi too. Steph isn't just a great shooter. He's a great player and when Stephen A. talks like that he diminishes them.

Will Serrano I think a problem that arises with steph and klay is that people think they can recreate them.... look st the rockets. They saw golden state shooting the 3 and the rockets decided to become a 3 point shooting team. What they failed to realized is that golden state is not a 3 point shooting team they are a shooting team period. They can do the mid range and they can do all angles it’s not just the 3. That’s what makes them so lethal. They also don’t take bad shots because they are two of the greatest shooter of all time. You see James harden missing 20 3s in row? That never happens in golden state because they are not strictly a 3 point shooting team. Im sorry IM taking them any day any time any second.

hey thats you guys opinion, but I know whos better

@@milesaheadpodcast Steph and Klay would be trash in the 80s

They don't get enough credit because they had freaking Durant for 2 of those Championships

Shooting the lights out or pure domination on both ends? Picking Kawhi and PG13 is an easy choice.

@@MambaBreezy24 I disagree with you, they are not just shooting, steph is among the most elite finishers through all league. Klay is one of the best 1 on 1 AND team defenders in the league. They have won multiple chips together and even when KD got injuried last year, they eliminated the rockets in 6 and swept portland. All of this putting their shooting aside, they are just better together is simple.

Different type player. But curry and klay are shooter but not just shooter. If they just shooter only, no one will comparing by 2 top player with 2 way type. Who will pick for wining chip? I do splash bros, they had something that PG and Leonard should proff, Chemistry. Chemistry make everyone better. Like lebron and d wade, jordan and pipen, magic and kareem, Malone and Stockton, etc.

@@legendarycollection7184 @legendary collection Splash Bros achieved those things with a great supporting cast surrounding them, they had KD for cryin out loud before that they had Bogut Barnes all of those boys. Now tell me if Kawhi and Paul George had those dudes around them, how many rings would they have? Dont go acting like the Splash Bros won those titles by themselves now hahaha. They aint Jordan & Pip or Shaq & Kobe. Duos that really carried the load.

@@MambaBreezy24 MambaBreezy24 lol bro they win chip before kd join, on that time kawhi only 1 chip to. PG? Always said being overated. What i said is pg and kawhi not even the real duo, how you being proof not even end season? If you said single acrievment of course kawhi above all the guy we talk. Don't talk like kawhi have those ring on bad team, 1st ring he have on spurs called being one of greatnest squad, last is raptors, tell me if raptors is bad team or good team? Raptors are good team with good cemistry on core that is, you thing before kawhi join raptors how much record they have in last season? Best on east. PG not even proof anything, the acrievment pg have can't compared to splash bros. Thats why as a duo kawhi and pg should proof it first "as a duo". This season are the easy way to take that, because gsw suck now and Portland never win eiter, 2 final conference are out on playoff, since they did'n yet have any acrievment as duo, i take splash bros that already proof.

Pg and kawhi aren't bums uk their arguably in the top 10 players rn

Gtfo kd beat lebron not steph and klay

Thomas Dumont several times mind you

Kawhi and Pg JUST teamed up. Steph and klay have been a duo for almost a decade now. You can’t use the ring argument when Kawhi and Pg haven’t played together long enough to get to the offseason

@@treyadamsiii2780 that's what im sayin though. I can't pick a duo that I haven't seen over one that I know works. Its not their fault they havent played together, but the fact is they haven't much. Same with Lebron and AD. I haven't seen them play enough together yet.
