@@kleatise52as good as Brunson is he’s putting up the numbers he is cause he is being force fed possessions whilst ANTMAN has a limited number of possessions and yet has similar numbers to Brunson so with that in consideration plus his defense ANTMAN has been the best in the playoffs by a humongous margin
First Things First has been amazing for years.
How did jamal murray not slide off the hill after sliding that heat pack across the floor 💀💀💀
Because Haliburton slid 6 points against the Knicks
“Get these butterflies outta my face” 😂
Did FS1 allowed this guy to get high during commercial break? 😂
It’s legal in NYC
SGA will be on top at the end
You called it. Let's see how it plays out.
Luka take didn’t age well
Ehh
Luka definitely eviscerated the OKC Thunder 😂
Lol
Pop never gave up on Derrick White. They couldn’t tank when he was on the team helping them win. They loved Derrick White. But if White is on the Spurs, they don’t get Wemby. It’s that simple. Don’t talk bad about Pop ever again
Pop not even a good coach. He’s been carried by superstars all his career

@juanpedro1896 C'mon, he's a great coach. Record is obvious. Note that all coaches who win a bunch of titles are "carried by superstars" They are required.
The way they kept saying “smothering”😂😂😂
The music 😂
This is so disrespectful to Kyrie. Bro Luka is amazing but he was not efficient and it was Kyrie on BOTH sides of the ball that was the difference in that series. Cmon man
100% i am admittedly a Thunder fan but Luka was building a condo with all those bricks. If kyrie plays well it’s gonna be a tough series, if he can’t maintain that level of intensity I don’t think Luka has enough for okc on his own
@@SpaceGhost92can't sustain 😂😂😂MAVS IN 6 OR 7
@@SpaceGhost92 Luka is injured. Kyrie has to play solo, and that means the Mavs' season is over.
@@penkima4923 what was that again?
@@urihamilton1077 I predicted Luka's season to be over. I'm starting to think his career might be over after these playoffs.
This is all whimsical 'n shii. I kinda like it...🥺
Nick with the consistent Tatum/Boston disrespect. He said the Knicks/Brunson "one of three most likely to win the championship" that's absurd
No one buys the soft Celtics beating the Wolves
@@blablablaa14nobody talked about the wolves 1 week ago, even after sweeping the suns. But now everybody is on the bandwagon 😂😂
@@blablablaa14 all of you fools keep talking yourselves into betting against the best team all year who has been undisputed favorites since January lol
@@blablablaa14you should bet all your money on it if your so confident
We've seen the Celtics script every season. They are mentally weak and are not winning a championship.
Wildes in denial and I love to see it. He embodies the Nuggets; they melt down, and so does he.
I need this music on a 12 hour loop to sleep to
KAT as a number 2, and him accepting that he's number 2, is terrifying. All of those guys buying into their roles makes them dangerous.
If it was LA with a 3 day rest after two losses everyone would have said Adam Silver was giving Lebron rest. Since its Jokic its not even a topic of discussion 😂
After watching the Mavs Thunder game tonight, curious how much Luka slides.
nick saying " oh here we go at the end was comedy! " lol
The disrespect on naz
So basically it's an NBA finals MVP race
How is Luka ahead of Kyrie? Anyone with 2 eyes could see Kyrie outplayed Luka on that series. Luka was almost as bad as Jokic has been against the wolves.
I’m convinced Nick slams key bumps in the bathroom during commercials
Absolutely love this edition of the hill. It's great seeing the old timers enjoying their early vacation and really fun to see how much that shakes up the top. I really hope next season these young guys continue their ascent and truly take over the league (and showing us the regular season does matter).
Rich Tapestry🤣🤣🤣🤣
He said Kyrie was the best Maverick In the first round but still puts Luka over him.
Yeah he thought Kyrie was better but Lukas stats couldn't be ignored
@@CapnKrunk123Luka put up a bunch of points but was not efficient at all. Doesn’t matter cause okc bout to take them out anyways
@@SpaceGhost92this won't age well bruh 🥛
Naz Reid deserves a spot!!
Too many butterflies now, went from peaceful to PESTILENCE!
5:15 yeah about that, Nick
SGA should be on top, only behind edwards maybe, SGA has consistently been the best player this season and these playoffs
Anyone else get stressed there isn’t right room in the graphic to finish the top row of the pyramid?
It looks like there's too much room?
nick saying the mavs could beat the Celtics 😭
Luka is better than Anthony Edwards
Gobert's defense is underrated
Extremely.
Luka gave u 30/10/10 and that’s considered bad😂😂 just wait
Typical box score watcher. Luka was awful.
The stats look great, but outside of game 5, he was extremely inefficient scoring. Even in closeout game 6, he had 28/13/7, but shot 35% from the field and 10% from 3. Guarantee if he shoots better he will move to the top with those numbers.
@@Kilotango1 he is hurt (knee)and still produced is what I’m saying
Still inefficient for his standards @@QuintonNewsom
He is sick/flu and soar knee so..... He bad at shooting can't get the rhythm.
So happy to see D White on there
These guys are the best in the business. Best sports talkshow there is right now, and it isn't even close.
Ant has been the best by far in the playoffs sp far. 36 points on 66 TS%. No one has been anywhere near as effecient as him so far.
Brunson to
Brunson doesn’t play defense though
@@blablablaa14 and way less efficient
@@blablablaa14yes he does what games are you watching?
@@blablablaa14 yea but he does more offensively y’all only pay attention to points but forget assists are apart of offense
I don’t think Nick has ever played a sport let alone played while injured. Bugs me when he criticizes players like Jamal Murray or Joe Burrow for playing while injured and being inconsistent.
Don't play if you can't play well
Ant deserves this praise. Finally getting the respect he deserves
Over Luka?
@@giffondhall9214 never said that. And no not over Luka
Tatum still needs more respect imo, but he will have to win the chip to actually acquire it.
He good but he gets uncomfortable QUICK.
Couple of bounces going his way and he would be viewed as the Patrick Mahomes of the nba
Tatum is utter trash 😂
@@08C6PaceCardamn
@@08C6PaceCar you don’t know ball lol
Based on this new hill - It's either Mavs or TWolves for the championship. Mavs have one Tier #2 guy and one 3# Tier guy. The TWolves have the sole #1 guy and a Tier #4 player.
That hurt the Mayor of Fair to suspend Murray of the Hill. He's just trying to get ahead of another "dirty Mac Jones" dilemma for himself. 😂😂😂
"get these butterflys off my face"
Rename this segment to ANT HILL
Let’s gooooo wolvesss
Murray shoulda slid off too. Keep that spot vacant…🤷🏾♂️
I sure hope OKC proves this buffoon wrong.
Even though I think antman is mj 2.0 I wouldn't put him on top yet, luka is the man right now, he should be on top.
Luka hasn't been the best player on his own team this playoffs yet. He even admitted that. The Kyrie disrespect is absurd.
@aaronhugz4277 sure, you got a point, kyrie, is kyrie, no arguing here, but kyrie is just getting good again, he has been out of the picture of top players for the past few years, probably since his cavs days, however, luka has been the guy for his team even since he got in the league. Just cause he didn't play his best during the first round doesn't take away from his consistency.
Luka?? Kyrie back completely wrecked from carrying Luka up that hill then
In the Celtics-Heat series, Tatum was guarded by a DPOY finalist, and White was guarded by a guy who probably doesn't understand why there even is a DPOY award.
I'm kinda worried for team USA
American media can’t wait to put an American player on top
Half of every comment section has turned against Jokic after two losses. Even though his co-star is injured again. How can the fans talk about superstars, who require several seasons of good play, if they have gold fish memory.
Lookup Ant Man's playoffs stats, he really is gonna be top 3-5 SG all time at this rate
"90s defense, how bout that?" "Oh, here we go" Lol I love how you can tell they debate the same way off camera with these little asides lol
Ty sliding off the hill hurts my soul…. I mean fair but 😢
Only loosing by 5 when Ty had 6 points is a good sign for the pacers
Ant had a great game last game but he shot tour dates twice last round with 1 mediocre and 1 great game. Watching the wolves game, I’m sitting there in aw with how great their overall team is and how crazy the defense is. Idk, I feel like everyone is making it seem like ANT is carrying the team when it’s not even close to that
It's Gobert's team, but there's so many reasons Ant will be made the star. Ant is the first scoring option. Props to KAT for being a team player. The league is looking for a young american new face for the league. And Ant looks just like Jordan.
Murray's placement made me believe that it actually *isn't* read from left to right for the first time ever. Shouldn't be allowed to be ahead of five guys!
Murray was the best guard in the league coming into the playoffs. An injury shouldn't make him slip off the hill entirely, yet.
Wilde's on copium is refreshing
Mitchell...?
Nice try, Wildes. 😏
Who is that guy? The defense is not smothering Nuggs: 80 points in a home game, silent arena
Luka shooting 23% from 3 but somehow goes up
Nick said he thinks Kyrie played better than Luka in the first round yet has Luka rated higher than Kyrie. I DON'T GET IT
Guess the Hill isn't based on one playoff round alone. Thank goodness.
bro said tatum is balling come on now
Injuries are not an excuse if you check into the game.
Nick doesn't know that we got multiple first rounders
Kyrie has been better than Luka this entire playoffs.
Yeah he stepped up quite a bit. I expected Mavs to go down when news came out that Luka injured his knee. Mad props to Kyrie he need more shoutouts from the media
@@akshayar2467 facts. The NBA and the media will try their hardest not to give Kyrie his credit. I feel like just because of Kyrie, the NBA will attempt to keep the Mavs out of the finals. I hope not.
@@aaronhugz4277 oh yeah for sure. Ever since he joined the mavs I've noticed they been downplaying, not giving respect to the mavs and Luka as well. Doesn't matter tho cause when we get that ring, it's gonna be silence from them lmao
Well the Mavs did go from 4th in the West to 11th last year after trading for Kyrie. He's been very good since the second half of this season. So I wouldn't have expected much praise for him last year@@akshayar2467
Swap Ky and Luka, who’s hurt.
No Chet?
Great point!
The amount of okc disrespect on this show is getting almost laughable now. Can’t wait to see nicks reaction and what excuses he will have ready when okc wins that series
I really don't understand this. It's so unbelievable to me that he wasn't on there that when it was only the last row I was thinking, "He has Chet as #1?" not even thinking about Ant. Although I do think Ant 100% deserves to be at the top, I just was waiting for where Chet was gonna land.
@@jimmymitchell1396 literally. I kind of realised once he got near the top but I just thought he was going to have him super high up
This was a ridiculous hill
What do the colors mean? Green red blue?
Blue has gone up, red has gone down.
@@penkima4923 finally. Thank you.
Nick is on the effing money!
Luka is placed way too high. And Jokic shouldn't drop two stories, just because his co-star is injured. And Gobert is the most important player on the Wolves team, so he should be placed way higher.
NGL the take that the knicks stand more of a chance than the Celtics against the west is the first take that I really vehemently disagree with nick on in his entire career...this is a first.
Nick was right the entire time
Over luka
Better a roster of eliminees 😌
Mavs in 6🔥
Lakers in 13
Luka is injured, so the Mavs' season is over.
@@penkima4923 what’d you say buddy? Eat my shorts
This was the very 1st King of the Hill that I've watched cuz the NBA isn't the NFL you can't update ratings on a weekly/daily basis; this aint 2K. Not to mention it's just the lesser version of Mahomes Mountain &so I wasn't that interested but I checked it out tonight while working &I'll just say if there's any kinda mountain in which Derek White, Josh Hart, MPJ or Myles Turner are on then that mountain/list shouldn't be made. The bottom two-rows are irrelevant, if anyone of them were to win Finals-MVP they'd just be the modern-day Iggy or Chauncey Billups. Maybe previously
OKC IN 6 💯 💯
Put the pipe down and D.A.R.E to say NOOOOOO bruh mavs in 6 or 7 💯
@@Charles-3900 it’s going great for you so far…
@@razzo086 that's what I told ya mom while looking at the top of her head 🤣🤣🤣
I think this has surpassed the herd
Why would anyone watch the Herd?
Can someone explain what the colors highlighting the names mean???
Red means they dropped, blue is stayed at the same place, green means moved up a spot or spots.
Finally Nicks waking up
Murray shot his credibility and buried it like a Governor.
Can anyone tell me the music they used for King of the Hill? That was epic.
Haliburton is lookin super overrated
Hater
Gotta say, I think Murray slips off the Hill. Playing terrible and throwing things. Of course, if he has a good game and Denver wins some games he'll get back on. Regardless, his stay is unlikely to last much longer, cause down 0-2 it looks like T-Wolves are going to knock them out.
I’m js if LeBrons teams 2nd best player was coming off a week with 2 game winners as a defending champion he wouldn’t be on the same row as og anunoby
This show deserves billing over undisputed. Like if you agree
Knicks could beat whoever comes out of the west but the Celtics can’t? drugs.
I always put Brown over Tatum.
You must not watch the games then😅
@@user-lt5dg1ix6u I'm not impressed by Tatum. And as you saw in the segment he doesn't impress others at times. I just don't fluctuate based on his shooting night.
@@Dryltd fair enough i think hes a little overrated and too inconsistent at times also i just think he has to do more heavy lifting than brown and usually has the best defender on him
@@user-lt5dg1ix6u Fair to him. He wants the smoke and spotlight. But until these two breakup or they win under Tatum's leadership I still like Brown more. I can't forget Tatum mistakes.
Broussard talking out of his bum talking about averages and not including the defensive attention Tatum got lol
Dont matter, hes been mid. You can make that excuse for any great player.
@@thialhoinj1971 he leads the Celtics in rebounds, assists, blocks, and opponent fg%. He leads the nba in postseason +-. Not an excuse tubby you and Broussard just don’t watch the games
What Nick described at 11:30 is EXACTLY how Embiid has been covered in the postseason, when he’s great he’s great, when he’s bad it’s “oh remember he’s hurt?” But Nick defends him at every opportunity….
Don’t ask Nick to use logic when it applies to one of his chosen guys… Embiid, Bron, Luka etc. with the amount of disrespect this show has shown okc I cannot wait to see nicks reaction if the mavs get pounded
wile always wiles 😂😂😂 suspend Jamal from the hills . I am a fan
