Stephen A. & Perk talk Harden's future & LeBron missing Dwyane Wade's HOF induction 🍿 | First Take 

How are u shore?

@@sosasosa5530bro lebron son almost died like tf he with his family dawg lebron posted dwade y’all so sad and they was just together with the thing with Melo

​@@92rique26that's BS. That had nothing to do with his son, Lebron was in Toronto for Cairibanna, with Drake. So he makes time

@@TRINI818Why you think he didn’t show up?

It’s sickening if they don’t talk about Lebron they don’t have a show..LeBron could have been sick that day…there are too many reasons that would have prevented him from going…it’s so pathetic…let’s talk about Lebron to get some ratings. My closest friend couldn’t come for my graduation but he called and gave me a legit reason and we are still tight…people are too small minded and petty…friendship doesn’t me I am obligated to be there at all freaking times…there could have been an emergency situation for Lebron..smh…sas will always manufacture issues to continue to elevate his argument of putting Michael over LeBron we know the agenda!! Do you know what’s funny? They are probably on the phone right now laughing and saying look at the media stressing while we are cool…no sensible analysis anymore! If he attended, oh he took the spotlight, if he stayed home or he is not a good friend…No player has elevated other players in the nba especially in contracts than LeBron yet he is not a good friend because our definition of friendship is you have to be seen with me at all times..sensitive culture where men act like babies!!

right

That’s Espn for you

​@@tigerhoods7927you mean klutch sports pn

Probably the reason why Bron didn’t show! Reporters asking him all types of questions when it’s supposed to be about Dwade! And look at Stephen A now! Didn’t even talk about Wade , made it all about Bron 😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️ this world is weird

Wade ain't been cool w/ LeBron like that they since he had him traded back to Mia &: acting like he didn't know..

Dwayne Wade warned PG about 2011 so PG went to clippers instead of Lakers.

@@rasaanreed239 PG would probably have ring by now but he chose the cursed Clippers and blew a 3-1 lead lmao

@@33Rakim and just how do you figure that? When they’ve been seen with each other multiple times since 2018, taking pictures together, and being caught hanging out with each other 😂

@@33Rakim bruh yes they are cool…like shut up 🙄

Crazy lol

Hypocritical statement there by Steven A. Maybe Lebron couldn’t be there due to personal reasons as well 😃

Well technically he can speak for himself, he knows why he wasn't there but as an analyst he can only speculate about why LeBron wasn't? You guys act as if they won't make sound bites about this, what else will they fill up the content space with during the offseason with?

He's not close friends with D Wade. Lebron is 🙃

If nobody died, they both should have been there, no other excuse.

And I'm sure DWade knew LeBron wasn't gonna be there. They act like they don't have each other's number 😂

Stop defending another man that’s weird

@@cjjohnson3827He is not a good friend? Wade got traded from the Heat and didn’t want to leave. When he got traded from the Cavs he requested it. I get the hate but don’t lie. We know it’s political.

Wade left heat via free agency not traded the cavs traded dwade back to heat lebron did know and approved of trade. Wade accepted trade to heat.

@@cjjohnson3827delete your account

That part took me out 💀💀💀😭😭😭

Yea cause you was there for every convo they had

@@Blankblannk I said: "There is also the possibility"... If you are saying that there is no possibility then YOU must have been there for every convo they had.

This should be a lesson for everyone

9:12

Man Childs earning hundreds of millions.

There is probably a reason but no way that is the reason so you think Tom Brady isn’t going to show up to gronk’s hof ceremony because the camera is going to show him a few times

Bron wasn’t gonna steal the spotlight. For whatever reason Bron didn’t go but he’s not Michael Jackson ffs 😂

@@kingfulnesslet’s not act like Tom Brady is as box office as lebron lol

False. He knew he was going to give Mj bigger flowers

@@Spider-NalgasWith the Media today they would of absolutely focused on Bron more then D Wade.

Facts

No he’s just selfish. He never would’ve won without Wade. He choked on 2011 and ruined Wade getting his 2nd NBA finals MVP.

​@@herbertleret6233I'm sorry man. Never thought sports could hurt you so much. Hopefully lebron will see this and ask for your forgiveness.

@@herbertleret6233 you’re further proving my point. Now you’re going back to 2011 because he didn’t attend an event here in 2023. It’s all speculation anyway. None of us truly know why he wasn’t there.

@@angelocadena7094 I declined you Mr apology

Anything to take a shot at lebron

Right Stephen A just contradicted himself and said he had something else to do otherwise he would have attended, but Bron didn't have a legitimate reason for not attending, the hypocrisy of it all 🙄🤔

It should’ve been more of a priority for lebron compared to Stephen a..cmon guys

@@natefrierson776 Dwade had Allen Iverson to introduce him Dwade had his father and wife and kids there, Shaq Carmelo Anthony and LeBron did a video collage congradulating Dwade,why is it that everyone is making LeBron the focus on Dwade celebration moment 🤔🙄

@@lesliebarber206 I’m simply comparing Stephen to Lebron in this circumstance,..

Literally no one ever called them this, park is the worst nba talking dude

@@NinersGiantsNationI love perk he ain’t scared to argue

@@williedaviskcmoexactly these guys want a bunch of yes men😂 you need someone to go against the grain

These guys are edging and entertaining, quit hating trolls..

Exactlyyyy. That’s wild asf to think Bron should put anything above his son🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Lol this is why this network will go down eventually speculating dumb stuff like this

Except LeBron was in Toronto promoting his new tequila drink with Draymond and Rich!...y'all really goofy!

@@rjhuncho5920his son is ok stop defending another Man U being weird

@@rjhuncho5920lebron was with Draymond Not bronny 😮

Exactly. The camera would’ve been on him just as much as it would’ve been on D wade. He let him shine and have his moment

@@poppasmurf3670no it wouldn't

Lebron didn’t go because he’s an egomaniac and is mad D wade called MJ the goat and not him.

all lebron said was he misses him the media is the problem not lebron

this is by far the dumbest take i've ever heard in my life. sure they would acknowledge Lebron was there, but they won't let him one up someone getting inducted into the hall of fame. lol what a clown take. I'm not sure why Bron didn't show up, quite frankly it's none of our business. And I wish all the best the Bronny, cardiac arrest is not a joke. But yea, Bron should've been there. Bron would not have 4 chips if it weren't for the 2 he got with Dwade. Bron had to learn how to win and he should've been there to give Dwade his flowers. Period.

Why? Because they don't want to be called out for clown stuff they do?

like for real he obviously wants to spend time with his family

He could’ve flew private let’s not act like he’s in the house all day

@@Reagalbeagle-ev9nc if I have a choice of going to a ceremony that I could watch on TV and spending time with my son who just went something traumatic, I’m picking my family. That’s what a father is supposed to do.

I think it’s better that a young kids heart attack isn’t being plastered all over the media for his sake but that’s just me

Nah they know they don’t care tho

Yup the bron hate is crazy

I actually thought it was quite fake and Hollywood like. Something out of his wife's movies. Lame and scripted. I actually liked Gasol's speech way better. Humble, down to earth. Not braggadocious! Out of heart!

@@markomeker7789 Word🏀🏀🏀 I feel like it's different cultures, countries, and values. Cancer (Gasol) and Capricorn (Wade) operate in opposite ways. Wade put a lot of energy into honoring the people that helped him, that is a form of humility too. And not everybody can speak fluidly off the top of their head in front of large crowds, it is a skill. I appreciated both speeches. And I understand that Wade wanted to make sure that his story was culturally crafted according to his brand/image. Lebron will probably do something similar. He is Captain Capricorn too. lol🤣 🏀

​@@eMCEe131Did you really just refer to zodiac signs?

If I’m not mistaken, he and Pat patched things up a couple years ago

Why build around a player that isn’t even top 50 in the league yall gotta make it make sense

What truth?

Daryl is not the owner either every business decision has to go threw the owner he's the one who owns the team an signs the pay checks Daryl is just a pawn.

Isn’t any trade promise conditional on finding a trade partner who will make an acceptable offer?

Where was harden going to get that type of money from? And where was he going if he opted out? Miami and clippers never had enough money to sign him without gutting the whole team which they’re not gonna do for harden as you can see so what was hardens plan anyway if he opted out?

At some point people have to face the fact and realize, it can't always be everyone else when there's a common denominator with a player. You understand it can't be everyone else when a player has an issue and wants to force a trade. It's usually the person that has the problem everywhere he goes... Harden seems to be the issue.. He thinks he's worth that much, play the year and see what you get when you are actually a FREE AGENT!! He knows no one wants him for that money. He's not getting a Max Deal. That's why he's pushing. Rickets didn't want him. Clippers didn't want him enough. That's why they weren't offering a good trade package.

There is also the possibility that Harden's relationship with Morey was only good so long as Harden got what he wanted. The one time Harden does not get his way with Morey, he's stomping the ground and flopping his arms like a perpetual child.

Delusion, Lebron brings one of the worst team to play in Final vs Spurs without Wade and Miami , and was two times MVP before he goes to Miami. SAS is a hater

For one thing, the Hall of Fame was a week ago and secondly the dodger stadium is down the street from his house Lol

Thirdly, he wants be to close to his son who just went through something dramatic

And fourthly Stephen A is back at work to discuss this old topic

Spit facts...spit!

not sure if that was a "great" point..we all knew, and a point for what anyway?

You can say Jordan couldn't win without pippen.He didn't win before pippen or after

Two words. Pat Riley. Look at Jimmy Butler.

Same!

You take one guy who created a superteam over another? Yall losers get on here and make zero sense lmao.

That’s cool but KD is better at basketball

I just reported you

@@isaiah1646​​⁠KD not better.. At what? Oh shooting midranges.. Not leading a team or playing lockdown defense like Wade.. That’s why Wade led his team to a championship and didn’t bail and join a 73-9 team that beat him cause he’s so weak lol

💯

Cause that's what they do and the wine and complain that he wants to control the narrative

@@damionallen8349 exactly had LeBron been there the story would been oh LeBron trying to steal dwade shine LeBron needs attention, but because LeBron wasn't there they gotta problem with LeBron not being there, LeBron can't win, even when the moment is not about LeBron they make it about LeBron weird 🤔🙄😂🤣

Cause these idiots be criticizing athletes for weird stuff nowadays

@@tigerhoods7927 it's ridiculous how they can't do a show without including LeBron in it!

Bro this world is weird ngl, it's crazy how he thinks lebron had no legit reason , I bet this is exactly why lebron didn't attend..... it's Wade's day and SAS making it to lebron lol

He went to Chris Bosh's hof and he went to see Messi play in FL

Bro idgaf what Daryl Morey promised him if he would’ve gave him a max deal he would of had to fear for his life in philly

@@maleekgant9436 then don't make the promise in the first place.

Exactly I hate when they say that also

While I agree wit ya on one aspect because the way they word things sometimes and their rhetoric is wack, I don’t think you really get what he’s saying either. Wade was already a champion before him and Bron teamed up.

LeBron didn't win anything before Wade LeBron choke in his first 2 finals not Wade Wade handled his business so don't sit here and act like LeBron did anything before Wade. Wade shouldn't have ever let him come to Miami so his whole career of not being good enough to get it done would've been exposed

Wade taught him how to win regardless of how yall feel about it. Wade was a finals MVP before Lebron joined him.

@dennow9829 The Cavs team wasn't a worst starting 5 of all time quit falling for the klutch Sports media espn narratives that's lies. Some of those games LeBron was outplayed by teammates in the playoffs his team was a top 5 in defense that's how Gooden and Big Z locked up Duncan and Boobie Gibson came to play it was LeBron who choked so don't try and say his team was way inferior all those games were close except for 1 and LeBron couldn't even get you 25 points a game had he done that they would've won the series. Your narrative has been debunked years ago plus I watched the series as it was happening

You're focused on one word. Fact of matter is LeBron chocked in 2011, Wade would've been Finals MVP. Yes, he needed their leadership. Nobody said Wade carried LeBron

Because LeBron couldn't win in Cleveland at the time D Wade won in 2006 LBJ had join D Wade get a title 2011 but failed another reason he didn't go because DIRK NOWITZKI was there that EXPOSED HIM that year. Plus 07 LBJ failed against spurs he hates there organization an pop. Parker dissed him When they won 2012 against OKC D Wade shown LBJ how to Win they won back to backs at least he could have done was introduced D WADE

Remember LeBron trade D Wade off CAVS fake friends like that D Wade don't need around 😂😂😂

It wasn't the ECF tho. They played in the semi ecf

Yeah , he got excuse why he wasn't there and he thinks lebron has no reason not to attend lol , this world is funny

Wade would only have that rigged 2006 ring without LeBron. He couldn't get out the first round anymore until LeBron came around

Also LeBron has 2 rings without Wade soooooooo

💯

But he's at a Drake concert y'all really suckas for falling for lebron BS all the time the dude is very calculated.
