Stephen A. & Kendrick Perkins UNLEASH on ‘NO-SHOW’ James Harden 🍿 | First Take 

Perk gasping for air at the beginning of the video 😭💀

Embiid in his playoff career shoots 27% and 13% from 3 in 4th quarters. Maybe put some blame on him for once

Shame on you for protecting Embiid when he is the so-called MVP, Nobody expected Harden to carry them but the media is putting all the blame on him

Embiid in 9 elimination games: 22ppg, 38% FG as a centre. Absolute Fraud

Finally a full segment from First Take on RU-vid, ESPN PLEASE GIVE UP, NO ONE IS WATCHING TV

Embiid not taking accountability like always 😂😂

When Kevin Garnett was able to win the chip with Doc as the coach, he yelled out, “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

I’m a big Harden hater especially in his Rocket days but this is 100% Embiid’s fault. Everyone already knew that Harden wasn’t the best playoff performer that’s why they made him Embiid’s sidekick. Harden won them 2 games, one of them without Embiid. If you’re the one crying to the league that you should be the MVP then you need to show up. You had 2 chances to close out the Celtics, Game 6 and Game 7 and you didn’t show up. You’re the only East superstar who has never been to a conference Final. Tatum, Giannis, and even Butler have done it with less help than Embiid has. People need to start talking about how this whole “Process” failure is Embiid’s fault, he always gets a pass if this were AD, Giannis or Jokic the media and the people would’ve torn thru them

Perkins stay breathing heavy into the mic 😆😆

Maybe if Embiid cries enough about losing in 2nd round year after year, somebody will let Philly reach the ECF next season 🤣💀

I love listening to Big Perk have an asthma attack when Stephen A talks

Perkins is 38? THAT'S MAD! I thought he was about 45.

Joel Embiid deserves all the slander and criticism. He had the audacity to whine about the MVP, put down Jokic in the process and his fanboys in the media went along with this bizarre racial and stat padding narrative. Ironically, it was Embiid who got destroyed defensively in the pick and roll. He look disinterested and slow last night. He checked out mentally after getting his MVP. Also it's funny how narrative was that Embiid is a two way player and equivalent to Jokic on offense. It's almost as if passing, rebounding and creating space for your teammates is as important as scoring. Watch the Nuggets and Sixers. On the Nuggets, the ball is being shared, crisp passes and reads made by Jokic and high quality shots taken. With the Sixers, 4 guys stand around doing nothing while Embiid does his things for 15 seconds, taking a contested soft 2 pointer.

Yeah unleash on Harden but the “MVP” gets to throw his teammates under the bus

Man y’all giving Embiid such a pass.. the dude is the MVP… the man scored 15 in a game 7 like what.. jokic would never

Bro they gotta mute Perks mic when he’s not talking. Every day it’s just him breathing into it lmao

If that was Jokic instead of Embiid these two would be tearing him to shreds

it wasn’t just james harden no show. embiid was a no show also

Joel got a pity MVP, if Bron Kobe and Steph never won 3 in a row the NBA couldn’t let Joker do it

ESPN PROTECTING THEIR PITTY MVP AND THROWING HARDEN UNDER THE BUS WHEN HE GAVE YOU 2 40 PIECES ITS JUST DISGUSTING

First time in history an MVP is given to a player on Compassionate grounds. To Embiid for his crying and pouting the pass 3 years. Tatum on the other hand plays 75 games a season, works hard and only gets better.

"I thought Embiid MVP is a tragedy, now I realize it's a freaking comedy" -Jokic,probably

Y'all NOT gonna let Embiid get away with this bru

ESPN just showed their true color today. In the day when Embiid who just won the MVP couldn't carry his team at MVP caliber and threw his team under the bus in that interview, you guys couldn't put some blame on him but just for Harden? Oh please. And then you keep bringing racism in the MVP race every year when some white player is infront. Make it make sense lol

Embid's focused seemed to be on getting the MVP. Jokic's shifted his mindset to winning the chip. Mindset taking him deeper into the playoffs.

Lucky those who have *AWM23K* right in time, unlucky those who think it's meaningless. There's a reason why so many would write about it no matter where you lookin' at

Perk breathing in that mic 🎤 😂💀

This man will defend Doc Rivers until the world ends. No matter how many choke jobs/game 7 losses he has

FINALLY Stephen A realize EmBITCH is Closer to KAT than he is to Jokic

The media (SAS and Skip) trying their best to blame Harden MORE than their MVP choice. Don’t fall for it. 😂

embiid might be the most protected star in the nba at least harden had 2 monster games this series

This is why James Harden will never be above guys like D Wade all time. He has rings and showed up in the playoffs. James Harden has had far too many playoff games where he collapses. Last night was his 29TH playoff game of shooting below 30% from the floor. That’s awful.

They blaming Harden only but Stephen A says Doc is First ballot HOF coach but he never blames him for his teams collapses. And Joel deserves blame never getting past 2nd round. Doc and Joel are to blame here

I’m in tears Perk couldn’t believe it ☠️ 6:41

Lmao doc gonna live forever off that 08 chip

So Embiid getting a pass?

Joel’s post game interview: Team Chemistry -10,000

Best game 7 performance from a player in NBA history by far 60% from 3 61 FG almost 50% of the team points is insane 🤯🍀 an iconic performance by Jason Tatum I'm so proud to be Celtics 🍀☘ Boston stand up wya🏀🔥

I dont think its a coincidence harden went off for 45 and the 76ers won when embiid wasn't playing

SAS was calling for Marvin Lewis job every time they lost a game but Doc Rivers lost like 7 game 7s in a row and he shouldn't be fired? What?

Not that the MVP matters at this point, but Stephen A made the best point… Jokic is still in it, Embid I hope your MVP let’s you sleep at night 😂.

Joel Embiid’s always been an overrated Star because of how he’s had a history of consistently folding in the Playoffs. For an MVP that Can’t make it past the 2nd round to save his life, Joel Embiid needs to start blaming himself instead of putting his Team under the bus. “You can’t Trust the Process without any Progress”!

“Don’t let James Harden trick y’all” 😂

Their offense is so dependent on free throws, and makes it extremely easy to beat them

Doc Rivers bout to be blowing 3-1 leads with Ben Simmons in Shanghai.

Lol of course they put all the blame of James harden when the mvp cried for that award and didn’t show up at all.

How about you talk about the MVP who failed to show up again?? Or are they just deflecting the blame from Embiid to Harden because they know they would look like fools for choosing Embiid for MVP and then he shows up and performs like that…. Truly embarrassing for everyone who said Embiid was better than Jokic.

Doc definitely doesn't deserve any heat. Times like these remind me of what Shaq always says, sometimes it's not up to the coach it's up to your star player to really dig deep and get you one. In this case we have the MVP, and a former MVP who many thought was one of the best scorers of all time. When you play that poorly, especially 9 points from James harden, it's not about the coach getting these guys prepared and making them execute. It's about how much they want it. And clearly they don't, we have to start holding players accountable as well it's only fair.

Kendrick has some talent in story telling

After all these years, I believe Harden is purposely throwing these games possibly to erase massive Vegas gambling debts. Nobody could consistently play this bad and make those types of turnovers unless another agenda was in play.

"Sixers wilted like a cheap tent" - SAS 😂😂😂😂

Best game I’ve seen in a while. Loved the back and forth at the beginning but was ready for the blowout. I needed this. Love Perk

Embiid shot 27% in the series. 76ers won 2 games cuz of Harden. And here’s ESPN blaming Harden and not the worst MVP in NBA history

Don’t forget about Nick Nurse as a potential replacement. Personally, I think he would make a big improvement for the Sixers

Simmons had 5, but he also had 13 assist, 8 reb, held Trae to a terrible shooting night...but Embiid's 8 turnovers and I believe 4 turnovers in the 4th quarter didn't factor in losing...Simmons was on the floor when Sixers had those large leads, but when the lead disappeared it was all on him...we are seeing Embiid true colors...injured or not he is always hurt.

It’s soo obvious the NBA trying to protect their newly crowned MVP cause why are they soo focused on Harden when Embiid is the “leader” & literally just won MVP andddddd on top of that he’s worse than Harden in the playoffs literally never been to the conference finals 😂

The fact that harden was placed in the top 75 over klay is insane

The players quit? You mean Embiid quitting? Thanks Perk for being racist, you gave a pity MVP to someone so undeserving. Great work

Stephen A would never talk about KD like this

“God bless America” had me rollin 🤣 🤣 6:39

They should fire Doc because not only is he terrible in game 7 but even when he’s winning a series he never finishes the job and ends up losing anyway. Philly needs to go get Monty Williams asap

Idk why everyone was acting so surprised this is who James Harden is 😂😂

James win them two games that’s more than enough for Joel to do the rest…I’m not even a harden fan but it’s not his fault sas don’t know basketball he just yells for no reason

While I agree that James Harden did choke as per usual, its criminal to focus so much of this segment on his shortcomings this series. James Harden himself willed this series into a Game 7 in the first place, practically single-handedly winning two games by himself. There was not ONCE this entire series where Embiid was definitively the best player on the court, as an MVP should be. I'm not going to draw comparisons to other MVP candidates and draw parallels, because context matters in all situations. But for the MVP to never come up big in any moment that is legacy defining should speak leagues about him as a player and a leader. More so, its shameful that ESPN will highlight the shortcomings of other players and spend so much time talking about the #2 option when simply, one of the most dominant forces in the league today can't put up more than 15 points in a close out game. Embiid deserves the disdain and chirping from the basketball community, and the only way he can silence those critics is to actually show up for once in a series.

Embiid is the biggest disappointment in the post season. Not deserving of MVP, prior to playoffs.

The way they ignored Joker tells you how much they respect the Game of basketball

Good show

I’ve given perk a lot of smack this post season but he was on fire here. Preach big perk

I don't really feel bad for Doc because he is going to land a job quickly, a coach like him won't be out of a job for long. Harden and Embiid looked disinterested in playing yesterday so it should come as no surprise that they got blown out. The 76ers were never a real championship contender anyway.

Trust the Process.........of elimination. -Sam Hinkie

one thing i like is SAS always so respectful and give accolades before disagreeing with you, just so you dont take it personally

You guys are being WAY too soft on Joel "MVP" Embiid here. He's the star player, and didn't get the job done!

I think people are sleeping on those 2 40 point performances Harden put up.. I think that was to send a message that he should be the primary option, Embiid should play off of Hardens score first mentality.. it’s way more effective!!

But it was James Harden who carried the sixers to game 7

So Perk is Joel still your MVP pick... 😂

Harden about to get that Melo treatment where nobody wants to sign him

3 things. 1. harden doesn’t deserve that much blame all us fans knew smth like this would happen. 2. Embiid needs more blame, MVP no way. 3. Tatum deserves more credit, he went nuts

What the 76ers were missing… is someone like Jokic 😂

Meanwhile…. Jokic just keeps showing why he’s the true MVP 💯😂😂

These 2 love their buddy Doc lmao

“Simmons had 5 in that game”😭😭😭

Joel Embiid got his mvp and stopped hooping

around the 4 minute mark that bird in the background wont shutup. lol. made me think oh yeah, the green screens, working from home, must be nice lol

the "god bless america" from perk killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

james harden literally the aaron rodgers of the NBA right now.

Love big perks breakdown of embiid’s disappointing performance

Perks, don't forget to held your accountability for MVP race.

That man amongst boys, showed up big time when needed

now should 76ers consider trading joel and james harden !?

The game was obviously more about JT and Boston winning. But honestly idk how Harden is getting all the blame it should be on Embiid. Harden basically won game one 1 and 4 by himself. He didn’t play well in this game but neither did the supposed MVP

“Gawd bless Amurica” 😂😂😂

Saw Doc, The Process, The Beard, and Company at the bank next season 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Yo these guys are funny af😭💀👍🏻

Looks like ESPN realizes no really got cable like that no more. 😂😂20 minute video with Stephen A I love it 👏🏾👏🏾

big perk chuckling on the mic is meme worthy

🔥🔥

Perk is reaching goat status with these monologues 😂😂

Perk has improved so much as an analyst 🔥 Good job brother

Some of those Joel stats were staggering 😮, never been to conference finals!, 0-3 game 7!

"God bless America" 😂🤣. Perk is hilarious
