This clip ended perfectly. Shannon said it best. They are delusional.

Stephen A Smith is a TV personality character. Don't mistake that for him being knowledgeable. Lakers are 3rd in 3P% the past 25 games. The reason the Lakers can beat the OKC is because OKC is undersized. So him choosing OKC has nothing to do with the Lakers shotmaking ability... it's him not understanding that AD>Holmgren, no one can stop LeBron, Reaves+D'Lo are probably just as good as Shae+Giddey. The difference is Chet becomes pretty useless against the Lakers because AD has the length, size, and athleticism to bully Chet.

Don't disrespect biggie. LeBron shouldn't even be in the conversation. That storyline was created by the media. His 4-6 record means he lost in the finals to his PEERS more than he beat them. So we're just gonna skip over whether he's the greatest of his era, and he just skipped past 2-9? He's top 10 for sure, but the way he won (played with more than double the HOFers than MJ or Kobe) put him outside the top 5. Longevity is not greatness. One can probably do more simple math problems then Einstein if they keep going. But what Einstein does, the other person can't no matter what. It's about peak. Not just lesser excellence for longer.

Lost respect for JJ when he did his Bird rant. Can't take him serious anymore.

We now know sharpe was the issue on undisputed all along

The lakers is not afraid of teams that plays fast and drives to the basket a lot. They have great help defense, rim protection, and decent rebounding. Shai literally struggles to find an open mid range against the lakers because he got doubled off every pick and roll. That's why the Lakers is so afraid of the Nuggets. You trap someone, that means somebody else will be open, and Jokic will find that open man. If you don't trap, Jokic or murray will eat you alive one on one. Against teams like OKC, their ball just doesn't find the open man fast enough, and the ball handler even struggle to get rid off the ball, that's when Lakers defense is greatly successful.

OKC is like the Grizzlies last year, they are gonna flame out in the first round against the Lakers or the Suns.

As good as OKC has been this season, I swear the Lakers are praying to high heavens that they would land 7th seed and face this OKC team in the playoffs. That young OKC team would just be like Memphis last year: a fodder to a more veteran and experienced team in the playoffs. However, the bigger problem for the Lakers is if they can even land in the 8th seed. If they did that, then they'd have another problem facing the Nuggets in the first round. 8-0 baby! 😂😂

Can everyone just stop Stephen A from pretending Tatum is the MVP favorite? Everyone and all the odds say its Jokic/Shai in some form. Just admit you have a hot take and accept reality

Lebron definitely not letting Okc beat them. Ad gone destroy them

Does _"dont underestimate the heart of the champion(bubble)"_ applies to Lakers?

Best player on the best team doesnt mean your an MVP candidate. It can also mean your team is stacked.

Why is JJ always so angry?😂😂 Or a better question. Why is he still there?

1:05 - this is such a solid point. Every time there's a big moment where as a team you come through for LeBron or the bigger picture, they don't show up and fail. Imagine playoffs, Game 6s or 7s, must win games, games against the Nuggets, etc? They don't show up as they should. Obviously only time will tell if AD will finally not be horse feces in the playoffs, same with Rui, Reaves and DLo. Will they be good or will they be bad and will Anthony Cupcake Davis finally have two good back to back games in the playoffs or not?

Shannon doesn't belong in basketball commentary.

shannon, when do we start celebrating PAL mid-season tournaments

Idk it's hard to go against the legacy players in a 7 game series. Lebron, Steph, Durant. I can't pick SGA, Ant Edwards, or De'Aaron Fox. I gotta see a young head beat them before I can believe it.

OKC is young they’re not ready remember the warriors first year in the playoffs with Steph n klay they had the spurs up but 20/25 two games in a row n lost the series that’s what this team reminds me off they’re very good but not ready

Shannon, when JJ is on the show you just sit there and be quiet and listen. He forgot more basketball than you’ll ever know.

Stephan A and JJ basically said I’ll take OKC cuz SGA is an MVP Lmao that don’t matter to Lebron and AD 😂

Ngl, Shannon starting to irritate me w these basketball takes…..bro make every thing about Jordan and Lebron….and I fw unc

Tatum is nowhere near what Jokic, Shai, Luka and Giannis are. The Celtics play quite well without him. The Nuggets, OKC, Mavs and Bucks are subpar without their respective superstars.

"I said top 2" lol. Now he's backing down from Tatum's MVP narrative

4:22 we don't deserve them xDDDDD
