Stephen A. WAS SHOCKED to hear this Kevin Durant & Luka Doncic HOT TAKE 🔥 | First Take 

Ever since Mama Durant chewed out Stephen A his criticism of that man has SIGNIFICANTLY decreased lmfao

Tim Legler is the man

Hardens got no pressure cause everyones already given up on him

No one expects James Harden to win the championship, nor does anybody look at James Harden as a winner. We expect regular season James Harden, and we are OK with that.

SAS don’t watch a single game of basketball from beginning to end. It’s unreal how clueless he is

James Harden is the 3rd option on the Clippers. There’s no pressure on him

Legler is almost always correct in his analysis. Stephen A is always reaching for a new perspective and sometimes it leads to lunacy. Harden is not a star in anyone’s eyes anymore. He is expected to lose wherever he goes. Where is the pressure in that?

lol we know ever since kd mom check Stephen a smith he don’t even wanna criticize him anymore 😂😂

I agree Luka has pressure. As a Mavs fan it's a good thing he doesn't ever feel it and actually always rises beyond it.

Jayson Tatum absolutely has THEE most pressure, cause how many times are you gonna get there and have the best team and not get it done

“We went from Playoff P to Pandemic P”😂😂😂

They was just saying the suns had the toughest 10 game stretch ever and wasn’t even gone make the playoffs, now they got the most pressure and expectations😭 They really hate KD

Harden is well past his prime no one expects him to do anything, what is Stephen A talking about??

What is Stephen A talking about? Harden is under almost no pressure, guy is just along for the ride. Under more pressure than KD? Legler is absolutely right.

Stephen a always sucking up to KD and his mama changing it to harden

Tim Leglar is the only real NBA Analyst I trust and respect

Luka has all the pressure on him! Cause hes that good!

No way KD should have more pressure than Luka. How is it that the Clippers get to fly under the radar with that much talent?

The pressure for harden with the clippers is like Jason Kidd with the mavs

How Kevin Durand under the most pressure when everybody say the team is not good enough to win it?

The most pressure to win should be on Dame! He forced his way out of Portland and is considered to be this “great superstar” that people keep on claiming him to be. Yet his playoff resume is worse than Harden’s!

Molly over here looking like middle age Elektra lol 😂💀

Legler takes is the best on this panel.

Harden has no pressure because nobody believes in him 😂

I actually agree that Luka should be under considerable pressure. This is the best team that he's ever had, they're more or less healthy, and Luka himself is coming off of the best season of his career. I understand that he's still young, but he's already one of the 5 best players in the league and there are certain expectations that's laid upon players of that caliber. Plus the Clippers are the team that knocked him out of the 1st rd twice in the past and that kind of history should add to the pressure as well. While I'm not sure that Luka is under THE most pressure to win the title, I think he should be feeling his fair share of it right now.

Crazy how they're always changing how they feel like this is new information. 😂

SAS with a garbage take. Harden is no longer an elite player and has zero expectations. He is what he is. He may be able to ride khaki to a ring this year if khawi can stay healthy

ESPN bunch of hypocrites. Been blasting the Suns the entire season for ANY loss, yet when they won big games and actually made the playoffs, they bring up the “KD got the most pressure coz he joined a stacked”.

Durant championships be like if Luka joined Nuggets next year to win it

Just pay attention to Shannon Sharpe when he critiques KD he really hates him KD didn’t even lose in the 1st round last year & the Suns was the only team to win 2 games against Denver in the playoffs last year meanwhile LeBron got swept

Amazing segment, thanks.

Hands down James Harden he forced his way out 3 times from teams and underachieved when playoff time starts

So why does Paul George just skate by pressure homie has consistently been out early in the playoffs since he left Indiana and everyone give him a pass

“People gonna forget about that in 48 hours”😂😂😂😂 I love Tim Legs man lmao

Kevin Durants rings weigh less than a 1 pound pink dumbbell

Once a great Player has a certain type of injury, one can't expect certain things. That goes for Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard. Plus neither are Spring Chickens. So Tim really has ZERO idea about what he is saying.

If anybody on the clippers, it is Paul George. Kawhi has been best on championship team. Harden and Russ have MVPs that have them top 75 all time. PG has none of that yet and unlike Harden and Russ, he is not as near to the end of their career as those two. He needs to play a pivotal role in a championship to put his name up there. He has never been to a championship and his closest MVP finish was in OKC with a great season, but he needs more.

“Now they don’t run nothing but their mouth”.. lmao 😂🤣

I am a diehard KD fan and I hate when people diminish his rings but i guess it also speaks to his talent that we want more from him.❤

Man, KD escapes criticism like no other. If Bron was on the Suns instead of him, it would be hell to pay from the media. Also, just because you feel one player is under more pressure doesn’t discredit someone else’s list. For me, it’s KD, Kawhi, PG, Harden and Jokic. Luka is just outside that list, particularly with Brunson playing the way he is.

LeShannon always puts LeCringe name on every topic 😂

molly looking fine as hell after that vacation

Y’all really hate KD because how do KD have more pressure than Harden

‘He called himself playoff P, but people can’t forget Pandemic P’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love uncle shay shay hahah

The way kawhi slides under the radar in this convo 😂

“Not every ring carries the same weight” very relatable opinion.

Kevin durent has a lot of pressure, he joined one of the best teams of all time, top three duo of all time in steph and klay. Kevin durent has played with countless all stars and he played with three players who have been MVP

KD is gonna be 36 this summer lmao the fact he's still in these arguments just shows his greatness

Definitely agree with legler

FYI Kawhi and PG were hailed as "ThE bEst DuO sIncE MJ & Pippen" yet underperformed since joining the Clippers.

I disagree that Luka has pressure going into the playoffs. The Mavs are 2 months into finally having a competent supporting cast. If they don’t win the championship, no one is going to look poorly on him, they are just going to say “Luka is only 25. Watch out for the Mavs next season after they make the finishing touches and have a full training camp”. KD has pressure and imo Tatum has more pressure than Luka. After being the clear fav for the season, if Tatum falls to win a championship with the team he has, people are going to say “He’s just not that guy”, “He can’t be a #1 and win you a title”, etc

Those boys really hate KD

❤️.

How are they missing the fact that KD only played like 10 games with the suns before the playoffs and took the nuggets to 6 while they swept the lakers in the conference finals? 😂😂

These guys are great analyst/promoters of the nba. Very impressive, they’re making me want to watch the entire western conference playoffs. Edit: is it them or is the western conference just that good?

Folks be hating on KD so much we already SOLIDIFIED BROTHER ☝🏾

It’s funny how Legler and most of the media diminish kD rings with the warriors but glorify curry for having 4 rings and they don’t discredit curry two rings with kD smh 🤦🏿‍♂️ it’s all about narratives and who the media likes and promote

No way KD has more pressure than Harden. Clippers have the most pressure next to the bucks and Celtics. Suns def in the top 5 of pressure though

From a player perspective pressure is a product of Goal and Expectation. I'd bet that JH goal has shifted from ring to bag a long time ago.

It’s 2024 Harden is beyond washed

I agree with Tim hands down them 2 players he’s correct 👍 nobody cares about Harden dude showed us in the playoffs who he is 💯 and Luka gotta come up and say he’s the man

No one is thinking about James Harden. Dude has no pressure. Dude hasn't been an all-star in two years. What none all-star caliber player has pressure to deliver a Chip???

but Tim KD been had 2 rings no matter what

I agree with KD but the Luka take is crazy, bro's 25 years old he still has his whole career ahead of him

And we act like KD aint 35 and didnt had career ending injury in 2019

At the 7:57 mark( when she turns his head at Stephen A ) all I could think about is that Bill Cosby walking a court turning real fast

KD IS UNDER THE MOST PRESSURE!!!! Hands down. KD hopped on the GSW bandwagon and GSW won one without KD 2 years ago. James harden isn't expecting to win a ring and probably won't KD Needs to win NOW

I mean, I don't even get how James Harden and Damian Lillard was in the top 75 all time and Klay/Draymond/Dwight Howard wasn't

Hypothetically talking about the Suns making a deep run is hilarious Legs 😂

This will be one of the top five most valuable rings of all time with this stacked playoffs series

10 teams with 10+ games above .500 is not only a testament to how strong the Western Conference is, it is also a testament of how strong the blatant tanking was from the bottom 4 teams... 😅

KD , and Clippers for me. KD because he hasnt won since GSW nor before GSW, he has to get the job done. The clippers, The clippers brought that team together in 2020, and haven't gotten the job done

KD has the most pressure. there was a time people said Harden, Kyrie, Westbrook, KD are better than Steph Curry. KD played with all those dudes and only won with Curry. Curry beat the Celtics team that swept KD. If you think KD better than Curry at this point, just admit youre a size queen.

I agree with all that

Molly stole the show fr

He’s only two time because of the Splash Brothers, he couldn’t do an OKC, he couldn’t do it in Brooklyn, and he won’t do it in Phoenix. He’s not a leader or a closer really

I agree very much with the first take

Tim is always right. I like how he keeps his composure and his takes are factually sound.

Thank you Legler ‼️‼️‼️ Durant’s rings don’t really hold any real value tbh. He needs a non-Warriors championship 💍

KD should be under the most pressure. He'll never be considered a top 20 great unless he wins a ring without Steph holding his hand. Last year people blamed Kyrie. Who are people going to blame this year?

Lmao now I gotta go back and watch some Undisputed clips of "playoff peepee"😂😂

Legs and Shannon, cleaned SAS right on up 😂

Kevin Durant already got 2 Rings. Eyes on Embid, Luka and Tatum to win the chip this season. 😊

When KD was winning with Warriors SA trying say he best in world. KD has never delivered b4/since SA act like it don’t even matter lol, if that was LeBron SA would never fail to mention it💯

It’s Kawhi and Paul not James. They have not done anything since they got together they have most pressure

There’s more pressure on the Celtics to win the championship than any other team. I’ve heard it over and over this season that it’s Bostons best chance and theirs to loose.

Stephen A is right. It's clearly harden

Stephen A said James Harden. Really? Harden is done. Even if he won a championship, his legacy wouldn't be that much different. Harden is the 3td best player on the team

The games will answer everyone's questions enough of all the talk let's play!

JJ would appreciate this conversation. He loves talking about pressure 😂

Lol @ Pandemic 🤣 😂😂 Paul George

Stephen A.'s reaction to the hot take was so intense, you'd think he saw a ghost at the free throw line!

how does one quantify the "most pressure" 🤔

Stephen A, weren't you the one to mention the fact how it would be viewed as a narrative around the departure with Golden State. He drifted from team to team, never worked out how he wanted, the calibre of team mates he has. But yet to fall short everytime, how doesn't KD have the most pressure?

legs always on point..

That’s crazy because he’s judging Durant saying if he loses with those guys people will judge him but said JUST before that he has to carry those guys to the ship. All rings are valued the same because injuries happen and it takes more than just skill to win the ship.

The third option having the most pressure 😂

Stephen A.. how is a third/borderline fourth option in James Harden under the most pressure?😂😂😂

Who’s the 3rd player averaging 27 on phoenix ?

All pressure is on them! Jokic: scrolling thru pics of his horses
