Stephen A.: Warriors have nothing to worry about with Lakers | First Take | ESPN 

Luan Nguyen truth

You don't know basketball my guy , the king and his crew is about to put a hurting on the west , the team they putting together is bullies ,why you think the king came to the west to show the world he the king and he got help and getting more help I can't wait for this to go down # watch out the bullies is coming

Rena Randolph coming where, to the 4 seed and a second round exit.

Nathaniel Baxter probably not even a 4th seed. I wouldn't be surprised if Lakers are a sixth or seventh seed

Luan Nguyen if he had no concerns,he would've never said a word or simply said no concerns on our half..

Sohaib Jamil well put 👍 👌

"Steph is the most Watched player in the NBA" please explain that to me. Do they have stats of TV ratings during Stephs on court vs off court? or is it just his overall team? Is this just in America or including the Asian countries that have a favourable time shift with the West coast teams? Doesn't matter tho, we all know Bron ate his heart in 2016 and forced Steph to take the pippen/Wade/Kobe/Worthy role... oh wait, Worthy has a FMVP lol.

Timo Cruz You may think KD makes the warriors that much better but honestly KD or no KD a Steph led warriors is the most unbeatable force since Shaq and Kobe. KD could stay or leave and id still take the warriors.

LeBron being the best player in the league is a false narrative. He's showed time & time again he has chinx in his armour

Deandre Taylor But they lost. How can a Steph lead warriors team be unbeatable if they were beat. They blew a 3-1 lead lol. Warriors should be grateful for KD cause they would not be unbeatable without him.

because his greatness is overshadowed by KD's.

Andr3w066, Only in certain people's eyes.

Sohaib Jamil in everyone’s eyes lmao, KD obviously is a better player but he can’t lead a team so they need Steph to win

Jace Beadman he can’t lead a team? Lol ok

Andr3w066 ikr? Says Cant lead a team but INSIST mad saying he should have went to a LEAD instead of Join.

Messi is the today’s GOAT btw

Facts

Omar Usmani emergency break pull it

I agree. In terms of game, Curry isn't near LeBron or atleast not yet. But he is worldly recognized as the greatest shooter of all time and hes known all around the world.

Wanna bet Lebrons jersey this season will be #1 selling jersey. So what’s your point 👀

Hopper830 nah Paul George is too soft. He doesn't want the pressure and can't handle it. Even tho Kawhi is quiet he can handle the pressure of LA and LeBron. Silent assassin

Honestly I don't think Kawhi wants that kind of spotlight either. The dude basically is a mute. Playing with Lebron in LA good luck with avoiding the media every day.

Hopper830 right lol

He already made it clear he doesnt wanna play with lebron. He will go to the clippers before LA, idk why laker fans keep saying when we get kawaii

Hopper830 we have ingram... we will be fine .

Phillip Young at least it won’t be the cavs again

Emanuel Bermudez it’s probably going be Celtics in the finals if they don’t end up getting injured

Phillip Young oh there easily going to win it this year lol

Phillip Young we’ll see

Phillip Young maybe this is the final year considering kawhai has a 1 year contract with the raptors And he wants to go to the lakers

Bay Sports Rants because he's light skinned

DaFreewayMaster you sound like an emotional bitch and a hater

UNITED STATES OF SMASH no, because he’s not high and mighty like Lebron. He’s not super tall or super muscular either...and he doesn’t talk a big game. That’s what makes him relatable.

Wakanda Knuckles so basically your a hater 👌👌

DaFreewayMaster still sounding like a big bitch 👌👌

Rok Baller You are not a LAKER fan typing that bruh.

Sharing a cool new tee with Laker Fans. Mission Impossible Ballout! Share if you like www.ebay.com/itm/113187359480?var=&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Mannie Lee There are fans that think with their hearts, then there are fans that think with their heads. He's thinking with his head and you're thinking with your heart. He's absolutely right. I'm a Cavs fan and I knew we'd get swept if we couldn't still a game at Oracle. (We got robbed) Game1 of course, but be real. Warriors are too talented without Durant. Now they have him AND Cousins!!?? Brooo 😂

Rok Baller I don’t run into too many Laker fans with sense... but u got it bro.

Romero Clay Until the warriors have more Championships than the LAKERS get at me bruh.

Gainz R Us Fitness for who?

Leon Kovalskiy The NBA as a whole.... The East is Wide open for the first time in a Decade, and the whole world wants to see how Far Lebron can take these Lakers....

But warriors still gonna win

Gainz R Us Fitness I don’t see how anyone can be close to Boston

But I thought the NBA was ruined ?

couldn't*

Mafia Gratzi

Steph Translation: We have the best starting lineup and we will easily beat everyone, but when January comes around everyone and the lakers are French toast.

😂😂 they better start caring

DMG 19 Nah

Barack Obama Ronaldo

Barack Obama he's talking about Ronaldo lol

QuantumDan he has more than 100 million followers on Instagram. Lebron has like 20 lol

Definitely not lebum

Heng Loose yup

Victor Chapa 😍😍😍💙💖💙

FP stop. Showtime was beloved and mostly organic. Warriors have 5 all stars and two different mvps and one was bought

All I'm saying is that LeBron's pathetic campaign will fail and the Warriors will be the new GOAT dynasty, not the Lakers.

FP how the hell is it "pathetic"

Because LeBron is the weakest and most caudled superstar in the history of the fucking sport. He created superteams, but notice that he isn't very good at beating them.

Nope! Lonzo has no aggression or passion.

Not rockets or Celtics

kingrobinho777 yea it can be that way against rockets as well kd was the cause of warriors losing games 4 and 5 for playing hero ball and not playing within the system

Peter Warriors in 2.5

Nah alot of teams got better

Gary Forrest nah son the Rockets switching was tooo good and low key CP3/Hardens defense was hella pesky. Harden got those big steals in game 4 when he has the energy with CP3 taking on offensive responsibility. Warriors can now punish switches even more effectively with Boogie out there, but the defence is gonna be worse with no Javale and an aging Iggy.

😂😂

Djordje Djordjevic and Messi and Neymar.

In china and us nobody cares about christiano

not really true, but Max And Steven A don't know anything about it, if they wanted to talk about it, there will be a huge audience! Just imagine a messi ronaldo debate on first take

Cristiano Ronaldo (@cristiano) - 82.9 million followers. Neymar (@neymarjr) - 62.6 million. Lionel Messi (@leomessi) - 60.1 million. James Rodriguez (@jamesrodriguez10) - 27.2 million. LeBron James (@kingjames) - 26.4 million.

Djordje Djordjevic I'm not even a fan of football (yes I'm from the UK) but I hate when Americans say this about NBA/NFL players. Most football (soccer) or even combat athletes are x1000 bigger than LeBron worldwide.

it's actually Ronaldo, Lebron then Messi but that's none of my business

Mj

young Brave Michael Jordan #1 yall stupid

jessie urena thank you!!!

young Brave no one gives a fuck about SOCCER we’re in north america nigga

L molly washed ass want to be a star on the show

Preach

Andre Ritter Bay Area $ilicon Valley is.

Andre Ritter you never been to Oakland A day in your life. LOL

Mr.Sauceman X 😂 I

Lakers might not even make it to Play off

kohisaaa kohisaaa Lebron is Best the player in the WORLD. no play offs? GTFOH Lakers 3rd or 4th seed.

Mr.Sauceman X Already LapDancing...

Against t wolves (lakers not making the playoffs)

Rael Candelaria Brandi Love is the most famous athlete

Rael Candelaria Fútbol doesn't exist to ESPN especially Max "I jack off to LBJ games" Kellerman

No joke.

No, but top 5 for sure.

Who 😂

A True Love Official So Lebron didn't play with Dwayde chris bosh ray allen in miami and made 4 straight finals with them ? Lebron didn't play with Kyrie and Kevin Love and made 3 straight finals with them ? Are Lebron fan this brainwashed and actually bielieve Lebron NEVER had a good team or Superstars teammate ?? Thats why no one take yall seriously.

Probably has something to do with the fact that everyone that plays with him has to walk on eggshells around the guy. Even the coaches, GMs, Owners... for someone so good and gifted, he more poison than anything else, maybe not even by his own wrong doing but his talent is so great that he basically dictates how shit is going to go down. Which you might say “great” but he isn’t perfect, he is still human... dude can’t be being cryptic on instagram or Twitter with his teammates, maybe then he wouldn’t have as many issues with coaches or teammates

A True Love Official LeBron is SO great that a 73-win record setting Dubs team, defending NBA champs and owners of 27 consecutive win streak during the season, LOST to a Cavs team in the 2016 Finals that only had Kyrie to help LeBron. Love played poorly that series. So the mighty Warriors had to add Durant because KD couldn't stand to be the constant loser.

A True Love Official what the actual fuck are u talking about??

Bakary lebron had superstars anyone who say lebron didnt have no one seriously needs help

daniel figueroa Lebron isn't even top 5

Jake Mack lol. I mean, there’s an argument, but I’ll put him as a top 5.

Jake Mack whos top 5 then? KD, curry, Anthony Bennett?

daniel figueroa stop smoking that crack

daniel figueroa who?

OFOSUHENE DANNY yea ok. Let’s not forget these same Lakers took the warriors to overtime TWICE last season. They kept the same players, then added Lebron, Rondo, Stephenson and McGee. Keep sleepin

MrBlaq you don’t live in LA eithe rthat or you’re a dumbass

I’ve been to both, the tenderloin and mission districts and homeless people everywhere and under the bridges isn’t anything to brag about, it’s a nice city though

I'll take your tenderloin and mission and raise you Skid Row and the Reservoirs.

3:42 am i the only one who heard this

You probably live in a dump L.A lol

curry is not more popular , you can't even mention curry without lebron .. curry is more relatable than jordan as well .. i guess he's more popular than jordan too .dumb logic . curry isn't even more popular than kD and he's disliked these days ...

island boy Yh that’s why he’s had the highest selling jerseys the last 4 years running and also GSW games are the most watched and televised games for the last 4 years with Curry at the forefront 😂

Swoldier Jan he’s not bug you’re not wrong

Ajiri Ekwerigbe popularity is more than those few things you mentioned but I guess you make the rules

Yes especially Chinese dudes They wanna be Steph

so an offensive match up vs an all around match up....ok

true

How can it be LeBron vs KD if they both in the west? Lebron VS Kyrie is better. Lakers VS Celtics is better. But that wont happen. Lol

The Casual Gamer he means kyrie vs curry is better than kd vs lebron. But i agree lakers vs celtics is better because they're historical rivals to then throw james and irving in the mix would make it better. Ball/Kuzma vs Tatum/Brown.

Jonathan L yeah i know. But he's talking about the finals. If its lakers vs celtics for the nba championship, that will have the best ratings ever. But again, it won't happen. Haha

L96ESJ fr bro. Like I’m just trying to figure out why everybody here has so much distain for lbj.

😂😂💯

MysticMech destroyed when they got kd wasn't equal was it

Kaleal Ennis nigga nba don't care about equality so what if it wasn't equal

MysticMech what happened when they lost 73 win season bitch? They got scared and got that snake from okc

Kaleal Ennis I know you're not about to cry. Right? Yes. The Warriors organization is the best. They went out and got a player "ANY" team would welcome. And your point? Because they were a problem for the Cavs, before he got there. And if Silver and his minions hadn't stepped in a helped the Cavs in 2016... Durant wouldn't of been a Warrior. But he did. And here we are! Can't blame the Warriors for a damn thing! They did what was best for them. And so did KD! You don't have to like it. But that's reality.

Marro 24 I will tell you happened "Bronzombie"! They destroyed L- bron and the Cavs, back to back finals! But you knew that, salty bitch-boy! LOL! Keep crying! "They got KD" "No fair"!! Nothing you can do about it, little girl. Anything else?

Smfh we dont even know if boogie is even going to play the season bc of his injury

Bkc 14 naw warriors in 5 or 6

probably in 5. I give LeBron respect enough to get 1 win against the warriors

rawcheese123 Nah that’s what everyone said last finals that Bron would win 1 game but ended up getting swept. Just keep in mind that it’s the Lakers first year with this new team of additions and the Warriors got even better than last year with Boogie and an upgraded veteran bench.

I mean sweep is highly possible but I still want to give Lebron at least one. I just respect lebron that much. But, you're probably right. Sweep is probably going to happen unfortunately

why do they have to be clowns? they're professional athletes, what about you?

Larriors blew a 3-1 lead #cried to KD Naw bro the Lakers won’t win a game it’s gonna be a sweep

Larriors blew a 3-1 lead #cried to KD Boston in 6

Yes but will lose to rockets in 7 WCF

Raider Nation101 lebron fan

You know the W's are by the far the best when they're turning trolls like this guy

Um maybe because he’s gon to the finals every year since 2010? Lmfao dumby ass nigga

Exliptic on a super team with help he hasn’t done it on his own at all just like everyone else but it doesn’t matter if he goes every year if he doesn’t win every year it means nothing

bo one wins without help you morron , it's a team sport , this isn't tennis ..he reigns over the nba cause he's the best player and y'all always got him in y'all thoughts ..

island boy I said he was on a super team with help just like everyone else

island boy and he ain’t always in my thoughts it’s just annoying to me when people say he has gone to 8 straight finals and act like he did everything on his own when he clearly hasn’t

Saatvik Anumalasetty lose in 3

Saatvik Anumalasetty 😂😂😂😂

Lived there for 6 years. Talk about a nightmare. Traffic at 2pm, traffic at 2am, no parking, homeless on homeless on homeless. LA is a SHIT HOLE.

LA is terrible. LA county hills and the beach cities surrounding LA is what people think LA is.

DAFREEWAY. You obviously never lived in LA kid. If you did you would nod your head in agreement. If you've never lived in LA keep your fucking mouth shut little boy.

Sir Smiles Cristano*

Remember the mavericks

yea i mean the cavs didnt beat the warriors and houston once last year.. the lakers dont stand a chance this year. expect some trades to happen by mid season.

Mack Miz how would you know that people hate to see my Lakers doing good y'all are some sad people 😂😂😂

Got Game my Lakers went toe to toe with those 2 teams and beat the spurs to so now that we have lebron we're not going to make the playoffs 🤔😂😂😂

Tavious Moore y'all making the playoffs but getting eliminated mostly likely 2nd round

Tak Tk you actually think Rockets are making the WCF finals with Carmelo? Lol

Tak Tk bad wig work on that first

no, Celtics and Lakers. If anything Warriors vs Celtics

Noir Lee Thanks for your feedback on my wig. I will most definitely take your advice and work on my sad ugly wig. Why didn't I think of that? 🤔🤔 #WhyYouDivertingTheConversation? #MyWigHasNothingToDoWithBasketball #ButThankYou

MTB4miSoul Yes, I actually do. I think we will see a repeat of last season.

Correct

Who, LeBron vs Steph? Come on now. At least let LeBron dunk it every third shot or something.

I think they should have a slam dunk contest instead, same loss of limb for scoring fewer points.

KingEron 27st if LeBron had prime kobe its wrap for warriors.

If Kobe played with Bron in his Prime the Warriors would be in huge trouble😂😂😂😂

L.A. All Day LeBron is going to hold that young core back just like he does every young player

L.A. All Day so Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance didn't want to? And didn't Jae crowder play like shit in Cleveland? Funny how he was a solid player in Boston then trash in Cleveland then solid in Utah again... The LeBron system didn't do them VERY talented players any good... Lmao LeBron didn't win shit when he was real young Luke kyrie before LeBron came back keep talking out that ass tho

destiny lags lol its all about the coaching staff bro. Luke walton lead the warriors in the 73 win season. Im pretty sure luke will have a great system in place for lebron, rondo and stephenson. Plus the young stars in the lakers. Check the lakers stats last season. They have the potential to be a contending team for the finals this season.

Petrol_ Enthusiast Lakers is the brand and LA is the City, rolling deeper than Sf and Oakland combine lmao.

Petrol_ Enthusiast watch your mouth 👄

Ben Daulton the warriors when they lose they add another all star pussies if you tell me

Where did it say anything about LA being a threat to GS??

Lakers always play the Warriors tough. It'll be fun to watch.

Jobs mine is basketball the favorite sport in your country.

Trey Jones well that and Soccer are most popular. Especially Soccer...

lying bitch you don’t live in africa

earlyman sweatshirt I did actually 25 years and counting.

Saatvik Anumalasetty Dont matter Lebron all around way better by miles.

Legod is the best ever Some Legends gots no rings U stupid Bronsexual

Bandwagon girls and bitch made niggas

Saatvik Anumalasetty L

Bron have more insta followers like 20 million more just saying so I wouldn’t say that steph is the most famous.

Forever Gooner I’ll give you some insight on something. Soccer players like that and soccer in general is the most popular sport worldwide because all you need is a dirt floor or concrete and a ball to play. Using that argument in the United States is irrelevant though because soccer isn’t even the biggest market here in the US. I live in Los anahles and no one ever supports their state’s soccer team arenas never sell out do numbers or trend anywhere. So that whole argument about soccer being the most popular worldwide needs to stop if you live in the US. Because in the grand scheme of things nobody really gives a fuck about soccer here. Basketball, football, and boxing all come before soccer in the states . I believe basebAll does too but that’s a dying market.

Tommy Canlas hockey too even

Tommy Canlas only reason baseball died was because they had to stop for a year couldn't afford to pay players it's not dead and honestly it's still growing but slowly

ill give u the fact that they are slowly growing . but it did die for a while

Yep

2Taye4TV it’s not adding up I know lol

2Taye4TV so curry reigns over the leauge when he ain’t even the best on his own team?

Dorian Francis I didn’t say curry reigns but lebron DEFINATELY doesn’t If anything the warriors as a team reign there the dynasty with no end in sogt

Dorian Francis stfu.. he is clearly the best on that team, they ain't winning no chips without curry healthy

Lol I bet 80 percent of the people who bought those jerseys weren’t fans before 2015

3 Syllables because most people in the comment section are thirsty simps. It's not just this show other shows with a female host will always dominate the comment section. Even if she is replaced they will start thirsting on the new host

Speak for yourself. Molly is a horrible moderator and I would not miss her. I barely miss Joy on Undisputed and she was way better at her job (and better eye candy too)

TheNamesMau bruh nobody watches soccer.. u just named a soccer player over LeBron 😂😂😂😂😂 more people know LeBron more than that Messi guy u named

Georgia Made lmfaooo ok bud

Georgia Made go check how many followers Messi has lol

Georgia Made nah he is right. Soccer is the worlds game. No north american athlete is more famous than ronaldo and messi. Most outside of north america don't give a fuck about american sports.

zzzzImTired most inside of the USA don't give a fuck about kick ball. Guys run around for about 3 hours and score 1 goal.

S1 B I c what u did playa..

tygur23 Steph Curry is a really good defender. He doesn't hide on defense TF. Why the media says that about Steph. This guy can play some defense

Isaac Kerolle 😂😂😂you make me laugh

tygur23 they sleeping

5 ball handlers or play makers at the same time is not a good idea believe me.

tygur23 Kyrie torches steph every time they play his defense is trash
