Stephen's A-List: Players worthy of a supermax deal 💰 | First Take 

The look of disbelief on JJ's face, when Mad Dog brought up Sam Jones, had me dying 😂

I never dislike RU-vid videos, but not having Jokic on this list is absolutely criminal

How tf isn't Jokic on this list??

If Jokic is a New York Knick, Stephen A’s putting him at 1 everyday of the week

“The greatest shooter….GAWWD has ever created” 😂 The way he said that had me rollin 😂

Starting with Tatum and leaving Jokic off the list is insane

Stephen A would jump off the building if someone added Kawhi on that list 🤣🤣😂

Not having Jokic on here is, as Stephen A would say, “”BLASPHEMY”

Watching JJ react to mad dog throughout the whole show is hilarious. Need more of them with Stephen A

I think Curry and Bron deserves 1 and 2 if you think about who brings more money to the NBA and their franchises. 2 of the biggest fanbase in the NBA right there.

No nikola jokic is crazy

“I gotta think about whether I’m gonna keep playing professional basketball” SAS: Give that man a supermax!

What about Jokic who took his team to finals? ........

Did Stephen A. really just leave Jokic off that list? Getting Denver to a finals for the first time in their history? I am sure the Kroenke's sleep well at night knowing they have Jokic signed to a supermax.

It's crazy how steph put together 2 of his best seasons ever at 34- and 35-yrs old. His style his more playoff potent now than his mvp seasons.

And this is why the super max was a bad idea. The wrong players got it.

No Jokic? That's it that was the last straw. These clowns really left jokic off.

Mad Dog always helps improve my knowledge of NBA history. Off to Google who Sam Jones is..... 😂

I love listening at Stephen A and Madd dog argue 😂

Mad Dog and JJ stepped down and waited like they were going to have a dance with the bride 😁

38 year old LeMickey being on this list instead of Jokic is insane

Stephen a smith needs to get an oscar for that show😂😂😂

Hahahahahha 6:03 I love how Stephan A always runs to “it’s fluid” 😭😭😭

2:38 Ja morant - are you sure about that 😂 I’m sorry I just had to 🤣

The ONLY players worth a super max Nikola jokic Giannis antetokoumpo Stephen curry Jimmy butler These are the only 4 you can count on as culture setters, leaders, and year in-year out playoff performers.

Not having Jokic on the list is INSANE 😂

I love JJ 😂 he literally covering his ears next to these old Geezers 🤣🤣

Every single segment today with Mad Dog has had him making the best points, this has to be some kind of summer miracle!

I thought for a second maybe there was a condition here that it was players who were coming due for a NEW contract. But if it is just in general...this list is ridiculous.

Lebron On A SUPERMAX !!?? That’s CRAZYY !!!

Having Tatum and not having Jokic is wild.

Cheff curry is the only superstar to really carry a his franchise without another top tier superstar

Butler deserves all the money. Miami found a true franchise guy

The supermax should be reserved to absolute best first option and especially playoffs performers players not to second options and play-offs chokers like harden 😂

The most Perfect A-List🤝🏾

JJ's tone is hilarious. He sounds like he's trying to talk down someone standing on a ledge. 🤣🤣🤣

You lost me immediately at Tatum Especially when he folds worst in the worst possible moments?!?!

Stephe A has to be one of the worst entertainers on tv smfh

Stephen A Smith at the end “It’s Fluid”😂😂

JJ just sitting there watching them yell😂💀

Where are the two players who have dominated the MVP conversation for three years straight now? 😂

Im a Nuggets fan but nuggets fans including myself sometimes do be complaining and crying a lot lol with that being said, WHY ISNT JOKIC ON THIS LIST 😭

Love this list

Lebron James too old to be worth the supermax. I’d replace him with Jokic. I’m not hating.

I have never spoken to anybody that doesn’t love watching Jokic play. He’s a top 3 entertaining player in the league. Who even cares about “he doesn’t 360 dunk” when half the league can do that

3:27 said, "F* them Kids dreams" 😂😂😂

"NOT EVEN LARRY BIRD DID THAT"🤣🤣🤣🤣

having Luka on this list over Jokic is insane

Jayson tatum over jokic is insane

Mad Dog's tantrums are comedy gold! 😅😅😅

Mad Dog reminds me of Joe Pesci in Home Alone😂😂😂 when he said “whatever his name is”

Jokic???

They can't give Brown that supermax. Tatum? Sure I get that, but clearly things need to change otherwise they won't be winning. Use Brown and some other players and picks as a package to get Lillard. Now you got him as a pg and Tatum can play SF or SG. Atleast then your trying and putting the money in a better situation. If they keep the Brown and give him a supermax, they won't win any title period.

"ISSA LIIIIIIIIIIIIIE! YOU CAN'T BE HIM!" 😂😂😂

That huh from SAS was genuine HAHAHA

These clowns 🤡 are always pocket watching smh 🤦🏿‍♂️

Everyone is going "Tatum over Jokic?!?" but the real question is why is Lebron on that list?? Yes, he's the second-best player of all time, but unfortunately, he's on his way out. You don't give a max to a player that's almost retiring.

I love how Giannis faint is so small

this is great theatre. His "BAM's" had me cracking up, they remind of the old Emeril clips when he threw pepperoni onto the pizza.

I knew this would happen to Jokic. I do NOT think he deserved his first MVP. But then after giving him that one, they had to give it to him the second time around (which I DO think he deserved). This year he is definitely MVP in the truest sense of the word and based on every other criteria that has ever been used... overall stats, winning team, team tanking the moment he steps off the court, etc. And yet, the year he will likely get Finals MVP and win a ring, they decide to not give him another league MVP because he got 2 already...

Luka should be number one. He is young and has the most potential. He will be the face of the NBA in a couple of years.

Giving Lebron that money at this age just bc he is more popular is just stupid… A) They did lose to Denver in part bc of him B) That kind of contract is to secure the future of the franchise and Lebron is about to turn 39. And contrary to what everyone believes he has been missing too many games for the last 6 years.

BAM 💥

Damian lillard deserves it more then Tatum

I don't care what anyone says, this trio is the most entertaining thing on tv these days. More of these guys together please!

Jokic and Embiid have been top 3 in the MVP votes for the last 3 years. they're both under 30

“It’s a lie you can’t be him it god given”😭😭😭

Steph Curry is the greatest player of this generation so it's no surprise he's #1 on this list.

that energy stephen A, is why we watch this

In every segment together JJ looks like he can only tolerate Mad Dog just enough to barely keep his job 😂

As soon as I saw Bron #2 I was like "and number 1, the greatest shooter GAWD has ever created" and he said it just as I predicted 😹😹😹

SAS is soo entertaining. Give it to the man 😂

RELAX Y'all ! It's "Fluid" 🤣🤣

Sometimes these discussions are more entertaining than the games themselves.

Y’all know Ja looking like “y’all know I’m top 5” lol

Y’all should start dropping the full episode audio as a podcast like everyone else

These three are hilarious

“He’s a champion JJ”😂😂😂😂

The look on JJ's face when dawgie said Sam Jones 😭 who the heck even is Sam Jones 😭😭😭

''He is box office'' 😂😂

Love it

"Number 3, bam!! Gnannis AntsOnTheCombBro!" - Stephen A Smith!

4:36 "Are you saying that Sam Jones is a better shooter than Steph Curry?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is like watching the weird uncles at thanksgiving bicker

This trio deserve super max

JJ don’t like Mad Dog 😂🤣🤣🤣 can you back up you in my personal space 🤣😭😭😭😭 I’m dead

i laughed at mad dog talking about sam jones LOL

I feel like I’m watching SA on a cooking show with Emril 😂

They’ve been saying jayson Tatum is just 25 years old for 5 years now😂

Mad dog & JJ Perfect combo!!

Supermax deals are about who brings in the most money, not who the best player is (they just tend to coincide). Looking at it from the perspective of an nba owner, I'd have wembenyama on a top 10 list now even if he hasn't played a single nba game yet.

Dude J.J hates Mad Dog so much LMAO

When he said “god has ever created “ and the ball went in the net at the same time … GOLD

I luv JJ for sports and for this show lol. He needs to lead the show frfr

These 3 gotta stay together with perkins ahhaahahhahaha gold!

for a moment I thought Stephen A was putting his name for number #1😂😂

Doggie, tell Stephen A what time it is, my brotha! Lol

I need Mad Dog on Monday through Sunday.

5:31 took me out 😂😂

I thought this list came out months ago before the playoffs. It kind of makes sense if it came out in March, but now?!?
