STOP WITH THAT 🗣️ - Stephen A. doesn't think Butler is harder to guard than LeBron & KD | First Take 

This is the best Stephen A. segment in a minute 😂😂😂😂

Stephen A the type to lend his boy a tie and then air it out on national television 😂

Stephen A won the minute he reminded us Jay Will that thought Austin Reaves was more valuable than Lebron James 💀💀💀

The fact this was a segment is absolutely sickening

As a Heat fan, I love Jimmy. Jimmy's a hooper, a killer, whatever you want to call him. But calling him a harder guard than Lebron and KD is crazy

Stephen A in rare form🤣🤣🤣

Don’t really agree with Stephen A but he’s 100% right here. This not even a question

The body guard sliding in the shot was gold 😂😂

Why Molly mention her and SAS goin to the DR and Columbia unwarranted 👀🤣

The last two post seasons… KD has been doubled in almost every possession. That alone should tell you how much teams indeed fear that dude on the offensive side.

Jimmy Butler is not harder to guard than KD or LBJ. And I'm the furthest from a KD fan possible. What I will say is that he does have more strength than KD, which makes it more difficult to cut him from some of his spots. But no way he's harder to guard than KD or LBJ.

Stephen A knows everybody for years😂

This is a DEBATE?????? It’s sickening how they take Aaron Gordon’s comments of how Butler is difficult to guard for DIFFERENT reasons into a debate if he is HARDER to guard. 🤦🏻‍♂️

7:15 made me bust out laughing lmaoo

Jimmy is a great player and a superstar. But what makes him great is intangibles, not pure skills or athleticism.

Jimmy been in the league for 10 years now all of a sudden he’s hard to defend? Boy we really live in a “what have you done lately” society

The Emmitt Smith joke was on point.

I don’t know the last time KD wasn’t doubled on a possession.

You know Stephen A was watching all the Martin episodes in the 90s 😂😂

I love Jimmy, and I love what he has done since he put on a Miami HEAT jersey. HE'S NOT HARDER TO GUARD THAN LEBRON OR KD.

The WHOLE thing Stephen Smith..... did you hear that 😂🙃🤣😂

JWill crazy for that one…. McNut crazy too!!!

Everyone was waiting for the word 'Blasphemous'😂😂

Great show this morning!

Jay Will doesn’t even believe what he’s saying.

Bro I just watched KD get double every game almost every where on the court 😭😭 Bron was getting doubled past FT line.. Man yal better stop

Stephen A is the most entertaining person on TV.

This is hilarious! Love their energy.

If Miami win it all, they're gonna put Jimmy on the Mt. Rushmore 😂

So in other words, Butler is harder to guard than LBJ & KD if they’re both injured… 😅😅😅

I loved this

Thats the most ridiculous thing I ever heard, Jimmy hardest to guard that KD. 😂😂😂😂

“I let him wear my ties”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I'm convinced all first take topics are used to click bait for the internet nowadays. It's smart tbh

Stephen A high key was flexin on Em the whole video 😂😂😂

Love it

These media members really know how to get clicks because I never clicked on a video so quick. What is Jay smoking this morning?🤣

SAS out here breaking the 4th wall on First Take lol

this conversation is direspectful to basketball !

wonderful

Just because the Celtics decided to let Jimmy butler get to his spot every time with no double doesn’t mean he’s harder to guard than KD and lebron

bro Jimmy is my fav player. But who has ever said that he’s harder to guard than lebron and kd. Kd is lethal from literally anywhere on the court. Lebron is similar to Jimmy on how they can just go through people in the paint n get fouled but he’s stronger than Jimmy cmon bro

This was your best show yet

fire that man

Saying Jimmy is harder to guard is Ludacris. JWill is always trying so hard to give a hot take. And Monica McNut...... well, she's is nuts.

I swear nobody believes Jimmy Butler is harder to check than either of those brothers, i appreciate their effort though.💯😂😂😂

Stephen A really channeling that New York old angry dog energy 😂😭😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀 lmaooo

Jay Williams and Stephen A are hilarious duo 🤣🤣🤣

My God Molly, BE QUIET!!

Celtics fan here Jimmy is an absolutely incredible player but he is not harder to guard than Lebron and KD that’s crazy

“Did you really take that from his office “ “Oh yea “ 😂😂

4:44 they should rename the show to this!!!! 😂

This year the seeds aren't really representative of how good the teams were. Almost all the stars missed at least 10 games even up to 30 games. It was a season with many teams having very skewed records

Anyone who says Jimmy is harder to gaurd needs to have their basketball cards revoked this is absolutely delusional. I guarantee none of them would ever say that if they had to pick who they wanna play in a 1v1. Absolutely insane 😂

I LOVE IT!!!!!! BASKETBALL IS BACK!!! Meaningful discussions about TEAM SUCCESS!!!! This finals is ALL ABOUT WINNING! No drama, no kings, no queens, no BS! Just heart!

"This is back when I had an afro and you was still tryna get one" lmaooooo

As a heat fan this is absolutely hilarious, i agree with steven a but this segment is one of those "hot takes" that make for great entertainment 😭

Hold up I just caught that Molly said Stephen A going to DR & Colombia with her this summer 👀

Yooo the when I had a Afro and you was trying to grow one killed me stephen a slick 😂😂😂

Man this show is so live during the nba finals and super bowl!!!!!

The fact that Jimmy and prime LeBron are put in conversations together shows how expectations change perceptions. Jimmy and this Heat team isn't expected to do win anything or to play amazing so if they lose its just expected and they get a pat on the back for doing as much as they could but if they win its incredible. If a LeBron team won and he played incredible it was just expected and losses and bad games were the biggest shame ever. And yes I understand Jimmy is a great leader and plays unselfishly so that helps teammates but this isn't close to a 1 man show carrying job by Jimmy. His teammates regardless of their past status are playing incredible and Jimmy isn't putting the ball in the basket for them and he's not defending all 5 opponents on the court at once. Stephen A rightfully shot this down but he and Skip Bayless over the last 20 years are the main reason that the NBA moved in this direction of silly narratives instead of the reality of watching basketball as a team game with many factors involved in winning and losing besides just the superstar players.

I'm all for the Heat but you don't need to double Jimmy unlike LeBron and KD.

SAS was high af for this segment. That legal Denver weed hits different

Why Jay sounded like SAS with that "Tell him again"?! Lmao

Gordon guards KD and LeBron for a short stint and think he has the keys to the world on who’s tougher to guard

Hold on molly and Stephan A goin out the country 👀🫣

Ya..ya .yalll need to stop lmaoo 😂😂😂 Stephen A never fails to amuse me haha 😆

Dang molly going to DR and Colombia 😅 me too

LeBron on a broken foot had a higher efg% that jimmy this playoffs with a higer VORP lmao. How is jimmy harder lol

I would say Butler is our AI of our time without the dribble skills, everyone keeps dismissing him but Butler keeps proving people wrong. I’m going to happy with whoever wins this series because both teams deserve this chip, both have worked hard and prove the mainstream and assumptions wrong. (I would personally prefer Denver to win, we’ll never see a Jokić type center that can pass and dribble to this degree he’s really a generational talent.)

Awesome television

Jimmy will never be harder to guard than LBJ Or KD

Is butler harder even the hardest to guard in this series?💀💀there’s someone called jokic

This is literally the same conversation Gilbert Arenas had about the difference guarding kobe and A.I. One guy is all hustle the other is a routine based player but equally deadly in their own right.

I hope Gordon meant this season since he's just played them both and it's his opinion. "In the past though?" that would be crazy 😂😂

pls can u stop talking about lebron KD or Steph for a second?

Jimmy is not harder to guard than KD or LBJ. And I very much so dislike Mr. Train hop. What I will say is that Jimmy has more strength than KD, which is a limitation to KD. KD can be knocked off his spots from time to time and that is why he struggles when he's the clear 1 and teams focus their defensive efforts on him. But even still, just can't say Jimmy is harder to guard than him and surely not LBJ.

How is this not a question when both those individuals are gone from the postseason so there’s some validity to it fr 👌🏾

Espn gotta come up with anything to have topics lmao

Not sure why this is a hot take lol Jimmy is extremely crafty I mean jrue holiday almost echoed this same sentiment

If Grant Williams can guard Jimmy B, he’s not that hard to guard😂😂😂

This segment made me realize how much the same Mad Dogg & SAS are 😂

"Steve Smith... beautiful name by the way."🤣🤣🤣

Stephen A always put a postseason debate to a career debate.

Exact reason why I’m not watching the finals this year

That random Emmitt Smith reference 😂😂😂

It was Marcus Camby and Kurt Thomas. Not Chris Dudley.

Healthy Playoff Jimmy is a problem. Dude dropped 56 on the bucks with the best perimeter and 2 of the best post defenders in the game.

Jimmy Butler is the best 2 way player in the NBA right now his elite defense and electric offense is next level stuff, amazing to watch him play 🔒🔥

Tell’em

This is the best rn bcuz I'm sma c ked

Sometimes I try to think about what small dog SAS reminds me of, it can't be chihuahua because that's Mad Dog.

Jay Williams hasn’t watched a Heat game since the Bucks series.

That Denver altitude be getting to Stephen A fr

I'm not an SAS guy but he is on point...this shouldn't be a segment

The body guard is always here 😂

He is very smart to say that he do not want to wake up the guy that he is going to play against

Jay Will “tell em” 😭😂

Boyyyy brought out the body guard!!

Molly and SAS going to DR and Columbia? Oh yea he hitting that and big tricking 😂
