Perk is right it’s not Stephan A’s Knicks because SAS is negative about the Knicks until March. The Knicks was on a win streak in January and he was still negative. Big Perk’s takes on the Knicks all season has been better than SAS.

We are long overdue. I've been a fan since 2011 and this year just feels different. We had some fun teams with Melo and company. But this team feels like a legit winning team. We didn't win 2nd in the east because we ain't good. We are better then good right now.

As a Knicks fan: Perk has been a Real one for the Knicks all year. He defended Brunson when SAS was there saying Lillard should be the starter in the all start game over Brunson because "he's box office." SAS is a Fairweather Knicks fan who is in Love with Miami. Go Live in Miami already.

Perkins (Governor) has literally been watching the knicks all throughout the season and knows what the knicks are about with their pros/cons. So many critics are absolutely clueless about the Knicks. I laugh at these clueless critics.
Thanks Perk I appreciate your support for the Knicks no matter even when you were the only one on the panel doing so 🗽🏀
Embiid health must utilizing the rebounding and playing Reed in the starting lineup
Big Perk is the greatest knick alive
Why do we keep pretending Stephen A. is a real Knick fan?
Depends on the Sixers coaching. They are pretty deep with bigs. The team could have thrown another one in to stop the domination on the glass and help with the defense.
Perk got my NY respect for the team always stuck with us regardless of what and Steven A had moments with us. Perk never let up always had our back no matter what it look like keep showing the love.
Perk said it’s his Knicks he is the ambassador and approved by the people, I love it
This is the best show ever Stephen A and Shannon Sharpe and Shannon Sharpe matches great with anyone Skip Bayless must be crying Stephanie introduction is the best 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Stephen is a genius for bringing Shannon Sharpe to first take
"Tracy Morgan said that I was the GOAT" 😂
It’s amazing how much people overlooked and ignored about the Knicks. They just want to give Brunson credit, obviously Brunson deserves praise but this team is a well rounded PROBLEM. LETS GO KNICKS 🧡💙🧡💙 let’s go up 2-0
He was 100% right! What a comeback! Let’s go Knicks!
I need both Kawhi Leonard and Joel Embiid to sit down and get healthy because we have an Olympic gold medal to win this summer!😂
I never realized how much Stephen A Smith looks like Sherman Helmsley. In that thumbnail he looks exactly like Deacon Ernest Frye!
Man Steven A makes this show so good. No one can run this show like this man
Absolutely embracing Big Perk over Stephen Hate. Smith as the Knicks' proper ambassador there. Carry on. 💯
Let's go Perk 😂😂💯
Big perk us Knicks fan will rally behind you, we need you courtside tonight
That's right, it's Big Perk Knicks...NYKF4L 🧡💙🧡💙🏀
What ⁉️🤣 Shannon Sharp is crazy 🤣
One thing I'm a little surprised by is nobody really talks about nurse as a head coach. Outside of his first year as a coach when he had a stacked Toronto team he's only won 1 playoff series and that was against a hurt nets team with nobody really out there. When your a team trying to make a push and he has 1 playoff series win outside of his first year. I dunno. Good luck with that.
Tf Joel Embid doing dunking and he know he ain’t in perfect shape. That was utterly reckless on his behalf.
impressive heart by NYK!!☘
did unc just say hes counting on OUBRE and TOBIAS?
Stephen A Smith prophesied the Knick game 2
NEW YORK STAND UP!!!!! KNICK NATION IN FULL EFFECT!!!!!!
Im going to bed early 😴 and wake up 2 am for game 2 🎉 lets go knicks!
Gil Arenas and the haters will blame Doc Rivers for Embiid’s injury
Did first take even cover haney/garcia???
Fam, just hearing this conversation as a Knick fan makes me feel like I need to pinch myself. I know we’ve been respectable the last 3 yrs but geez, not like this 🥹🥹
They just did well done
“Poor” Philly can’t catch a break with Embid…Julius Randle is in street clothes …for most of the season.
STEPHEN A SMITH…. I saw your hands tied together hoping this would be true!! And you got it right as always!!! Let’s go NY!!!
Ngl, as a lifelong Knicks fan, it feels kinda weird hearing ESPN speak well of us. Even hearing Perk and SAS going back and forth about whose Knicks it is was crazy
🤣💯Perk, carry on!
This aged well.
I personally believe that they shouldn’t double Brunson anymore and run 1’s with him, let him get his numbers and take his team away. The Sixers overcommitted on Brunson and the close-outs on the supporting cast were awfully towards the end of the game.
1:12 "I was shocked" lol knicks one of the best rebounding teams in the NBA vs one of the worst
Sixers have to get tougher 23 offensive rebounds is insane 😮for the Knicks
Perk in his BAG 👑
We don't only have 2 big bodies. We also have Precious and Jericho that can also make him work. So that's 4, 5 if u count Big Body Brunson!
2:30 lol
Facts its been Perk Knicks for a while too bro the only one who believe 💙🧡💙🧡
If Julius Randle was healthy I would have the Knicks winning the East, their combo of players works perfect and OG may have been the best trade of the season, outside of the Harden trade
Knicks fans have adopted Big Perk. They are Big Perk’s Knicks on this network.
Series dont start til road team wins a game. Aint nobody sweating the knicks. 6ers got this And even if down 0-2, there still lots of work to be done for the knicks because now they're the road team
No video on the bucks? Hmm
I might not agree with Perk all the time but he was right about Brunson. SAS isn’t a diehard Knicks fan by any means
the Knicks starters couldn’t had played any worse in Game 1.. and they still won.. as long as the bench plays well.. Knicks will win a sweep..especially without Joel
As a 6ers fan it depends on embiid, but I will say this, embiid had 29 and Maxey had a huge game when Brunson didn’t and we still lost. This is a fantastic match up to me but sixers bench really has to step up and that’s if embiid is even remotely healthy. Even if embiid is 100% and we know he is not, it would still be 50/50 to me
Shay Shay can't stop the Embiid glazing
Miles been HIM since last yr! He just didn't have the opportunity. I miss IQ, but this is the best thing to happen to Miles
Let's go knicks 💪 🙌 👏 💙 🙏
When perk said that’s what they do I bet he’s still hurt by Charles comments on him
Knicks got this. On Saturday they dominated the boards and had five players score double digits 🗽
