Stephen A.: "Today is the worst day of my life because Max Kellerman is absolutely right."
Couldnt agree more
Max has been handing Stephen A. Smith L's.
LMAOOOOO I felt that in my soul for Stephen A
majmunOR - Stephen Anthony Smith 2019
See Max your right and here's why 😂😂😂
From “we’re getting Zion” to “it’s okay we’re still getting kd and kyrie” to “we got Julius Randle” if that ain’t the most New York Knick off-season idk what it
at least they didnt sign terry rozier or demarcus cousins ...but they signed reggie bullock and bobby portis to a combined 26 million dollars for god knows why ...smdh
@@razkable they signed ellington for 8 mil a year LMAO!!!!
J From the cross crying
@@razkable 😭😭😭
This is just sad. This also means that they traded Porzingis away for cap space technically and yet they only had Julius Randle to show for. PETITION: SIGN MCCAW AND THEN YOU WINNING CHAMIONSHIPS. HE IS ROBERT HORRY'S SON
In 10 yrs, SAS is gonna have complete ownership of ESPN the way he’s working.
Nope, It's gonna be Woj instead
bobbywrtm why not both? 👀👀
@@sdfishinn it should be called working not anyone can be as entertaining and as informative as stephen a
That would be nice if business worked like that, but unfortunately he’s just an on air talent guy and could be dropped tomorrow and ESPN wouldn’t lose a step.
J C that’s a lie. No one watches espn for espn. Theybwach it for Stephen A. Soon as he leaves espn is donebfor.
I’m really surprised Stephen A Smith is not bald after all the stress with these damn Knicks
Fr an he's 51
Every draft his line creeps back a quarter inch
I mean his hairlines running! But damn its holding on lol
He’s fighting the fight against baldness and slowly losing
Elijah Blyden Timelapse please
"I think the injury impacted it" - Molly as always, pointless 😂
Foreal she so fuking dumb
Molly has to go
Lmfaooooo I’m dead fr
She married a black man, get over it and take the L.
Theres always that dumbass who defends bitch ass Molly
Stephen A is fighting for that max contract on the Knicks with all the work he's putting in!
Now that the Death Lineup is actually dead, peep my channel for their best plays ever!
For a guy with a blown Achilles. ESPN is keeping the BS alive by not mentioning that.
Suhas Pai no
The Knicks made the right decision. Durant is likely a liability now.
nah hes fighting for a max contract on his hairline
3 things for certain 1. Death 2. Taxes 3. The Knicks striking out in free agency
ssimpson11234 seems like it.
*Mavericks Literally at least the Knicks get no-names, the Mavs get jack shit
@@BoltTheEmolga they just got kristaps
@@BoltTheEmolga we got baby Curry. It's something I guess.
Zoruastrianism at least we can call Dallas the Euro league all star team just saying
Although the Knicks never gave the max to KD. The best decision ever made was the max contract ESPN gave Stephen A. 💀
He’s gotta make enough money to buy the knicks 🙏
Salute mr smith.
ESPN won the free agency
Stephen A sounds like a father who's constantly speaking on his disappointment in his kid's decisions 😂
😂😂😂😂
lol
Damn I didn't expect that the "Stephen A Smith: You're absolutely right" meme would actually turn out to be true 😂😂 0:10
I thought it was a lie, but the unthinkable happen
*STEPHEN A SMITH WAITED 46 YEARS JUST TO BE A NETS FAN LMFAO*
Coregame3 I guess the nets win the finals in 2021
@@Frankieefootballmundial Lakers will win these next few years tho
@@Coregame3 2021 is next season dude. 2020 is the season coming up and the Nets got a shot this year if KD comes back for the playoffs
@@craighauser9482 He's not coming back
lol!!!
Stephen A. VS James Dolan Fight of the century we never knew we needed!
- 23 but it’s the one we deserve.
@@lro001 No the one we deserve is Oakley vs Dolan in a cage match. No tapping out.
"Atleast Barclay is Medina now, at the very least, but the Garden has never been the Mecca". LMAO Max Kellerman knows his Islamic geography
abdallaha92 Awwad Ngl I was impressed by this word play lol
Same! Wow
Knicks fans: We're getting KD Kyrie & Zion Dolan & Front Office: You're wrong and here's why.... we're getting Taj Gibson, Portis, and Randle
Huge drop off
To Pi Wayne ellignton
and Wayne ellington
Dain Salgado and Elfrid Payton 🤮
bullock too lol
Max is the happiest man today, SAS is the saddest Man today. This is gonna be a Rough week for SAS.
Why is max happy?
@@semkn9555 he has all day to screw with SAS, remember, he gave up on the Knicks and now he is a "lakers fan".
Candy Andy10 max at heart is a Knicks fan, grew up one all his life, he’s not happy at all
CeeWorld you honestly thought that max was a knicks fan? Stop it. Hes an LA guy from day one and love watching us New Yorkers suffer
*Season
Stephen A : Can't wait for KD and Kyrie to be on the knicks! KD and Kyrie : Well you're wrong and here's why..
Juilis Randall is right and here's why
And now Kyrie and KD are officially on the Mavericks and the suns. Brooklyn had all the momentum in the world in 2019 and they’ve absolutely crashed and burned. This league is wild.
N the Knicks hav a real chance to get to the conference finals
Crashed, burned and got kicked in the face.
Found the Knicks fan hater
I’m a buccaneers fan but even I can laugh at the Knicks goddamn lol you didn’t even offer KD a contract smh 😭
biggie redd they did it just wasn’t a max
If you're gonna say buccaneers then you might as well say knickerbockers
nayrad m he’s talking about football...
I’m a Knicks fan and a Bucs fan 😭
biggie redd they didn’t offer him a max contract.....they offered him a contract dude 😂😂🤣🤣🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ smdh
"I am a black man!" = Stephen A wow i'm shocked to discover this news.
That whole point makes no sense 😂
Lmfao!!!!!
@@Wis_Dom Alot of blind people watch the show huh.
The point was he wants black people to succeed in ownership and leadership rolls, cause he knows some dudes are going to judge black people as unable to be leaders because of this results.
@@dishantithomas4198 Haters be like: Wait a minute! Black people shouldn't look after each other or care about each other succeeding! What Buffoonery! If they succeed, us whites wont be able to talk down on them. That is why we prevented their previous attempts to succeed throughout history"
Knicks: we're getting KD Kyrie and Zion Pelicans, Nets: yes but actually no
This didn’t age well, lol
How don't you offer KD the max despite his injury? He would bring instant credibility to the team and marketability.
@Versatile Wolf NWO welp he did dummy
Stephen A's family should keep him away from any kind of sharp objects for the next weeks
If he starts selling his prize possessions call in and get him some help immediately
Meanwhile, the Thunder are a sunken ship but nobody seems to notice.
Osama Bin Ballin’ don’t blow our spot bruh 😐
ChOKC has been a shipwreck for a while now
@@ricardoramirez5634 lmao im a Thunder fan too, but I need the media to highlight how bad we are so we can start making some changes.
313 JMO bc they did shit to improve their team and arent even a top 3 team in the west
313 JMO we still don’t have perimeter shooting and with all the moves being made our biggest offseason addition is Mike Muscala? Don’t get me wrong I still believe had PG been fully healthy with no shoulder injury last postseason we reach the wcf, but as of right now so many teams out west have improved and we haven’t
This is so funny 😂🤣 going back to watch these rants man straight gold comedy 🎭
Oh how naive we were back then…
Absolutely nobody: Stephen A: I am a black man
Bookum Danno wow that joke really went over ur head lol
Bookum Danno wtf? Lmaoo
@@mtvchris haha I’m crying of laughter haha 😐
I love watching these ... they're absolutely hilarious
This aged extremely poorly
knicks are still trash
Stephen A Smith : the Knicks are getting Zion KD and Kyrie Stephen A Smith : well you're wrong and here is why
Enough already, it's gone stale!
I'm having a very bad day...I'm in no mood to see Molly. "I think the injury impacted it". Child please!!!
Knicks are the most overhyped NBA franchise. Last Championship was 1973. Mecca of street basketball but not NBA Basketball.
PREACH!!!! if the Knicks wasnt in ny, they would've been irrelevant!!
Obviously you’ve never been to the garden. Greatest stage in the nba
Caron Johnson then why does nobody big want to play with the Knicks? If its all about the garden, why didnt LeBron James go in 2010, why didnt KD and Kyrie go to the Knicks?
Shockfactor22 Lebron is soft and chose to form a big 3 in Miami and we didn’t have the cap space to make a big 3 happen. Kyrie grew up in jersey as a nets fan so that’s understandable. KD all along has been advocating knicks as his agent is a life long knicks fan. Once he got hurt he chose to follow Kyrie to BK aka SOFT. They don’t want the pressure. Nobody gives a crap if the nets win a chip or not. You win a chip in the garden and you’re a god in ny.
Caron Johnson That doesnt answer the argument. Look at all the cap that you cleared up getting rid of Porzingis. and what about Kawhi? ya’ll have the cap to give that man a max contract. He just won a chip in Toronto...what if he says no to going to the Knicks. Get over this philosphy that winning in the garden is any different, because if it was, people would be going to New York. Yet who’s the BIGGEST free agent since you won your last championship?
BREAKING NEWS: The New Knicks are now holding open tryouts to play on the team
Knicks expectations: KD, Kyrie, Zion Knicks reality: Portis, Gibson, Bullock LMFAO 😂
if they didnt get randle that would be the funniest trio to ever give the fans after the ad kyrie kd porzingaz or zion trifecta they wanted... at over 30 million combined a year like they will make but they got randle somehow...
@@razkable It's already the funniest quad cuz they spent all their money on forwards.
This aged horribly 💀💀
Alot of they videos age horribly 😭😂
Fast forward 4 years later…the nets lost KD & Kyrie, Zion keeps getting injured, and the free agent they picked up that year lead the Knicks to the playoffs twice now and winning a series
This Aged Well Lmaooooooooo Knicks Will Always Be Top FOH
knicks are garbage
Ahhh this aged soo well
Stephen A: I am a black man! Stephen A: Well you’re wrong and here’s why.
Terrell Owens: Max is blacker than you!
I've been waiting for this upload. Thanks For the Entertaining Truth Stephen A. Smith.
I’ve been waitinggggg thankkkk youuuu
This aged like milk to be honest…
Damn... I can see in the eyes of stephen A. Sad... Voices!? Sad...takecare.
He was crying yesterday
Yup he's heartbroken for sure...sad...sad
Waited for this video all day
I know its not cool for people to switch teams in sports but can we make an exception for Stephen A? Bro is about to sink into depression 😂
This bitch loud in every movie 💀💀💀facts
I can say Stephen A. Crying whole day after the breaking news of kd and Kyrie to the Brooklyn and he so mad after new york didn't offer kd
All purpose cream well then how about Baby Stephen A. Smith.
The New York Knicks only option left is to give Stephen A. the max😂
Love it!
Looks like Kp was not a snake at the end
I like to interrupt the SAS talk to remind you guys that Molly is still on First Take? No disrespect but I wanted Charly from WWE.
PrettyMeka 08 it’s cringy all the time; there’s other female/male moderators on other sports talk shows that do a better job.
Porzingis : truth will come! Stephen A. Smith: "they never demanded a trade, they never said they wanted out".
Man Stephen A is one of the greatest analysts in sports history he is so entertaining
Man, im happy for SAS coz the knicks are winning but i enjoy watching him more when he is ranting about the team. Gonna miss that.
Stephen A:"First of all Max, you're *right* and here's why!"
Lmao
But in the end the Knicks won in the long run.
Got damn, they got Stephen A doing everything...even doing end of video ads now...😂😂
Respect to you for the Mecca and Medina reference Max.
Knicks fan: We're gonna get KD, Kyrie and Zion Dolan: You're wrong and here's why
Turns out it worked perfectly for the Knicks
Molly isn't gonna leave First Take even for a week is she 😭😭
I love SAS. This dude is the best NY sports guy ever. His pain is beautiful... it's so New York.
Lol that spray on lineup got me dead 💀
SAS: Max was absolutely right Max: I knew it SAS: You're wrong and here's why
Having an all-black front office doesn't guarantee stars wanting to play for the Knicks, Stephen A. If they can't run an organization, they can't run it regardless of their race.
@Bookum Danno cool story bro
I love how Max's reaction is a subtle and calm 'shut your mouth Molly' 5:09
How to become a knicks fan 1. Prepare to be. disappointed 2.learn how to cry 3.whenever there is sad news about knicks repeat the first two steps
This didn't age well 🤣🤣🤣
*clicks video* Stephen A. Smith:”This is the absolute worst day in the history of the New York Knicks franchise.” Me:”Oh no...he’s HURT hurt.” *likes the video*
Can you guys release videos in which molly's muted
Two thing i love about SAS when he rants about the Cowboys and Rants about the Knicks
James Dolan is the owner of a team that he can’t even go an see games because he’s probably hated in New York 🤦🏻♂️😂
James Dolan is the Jerry Jones of the NBA because he cares more about being liked and making money instead of winning a championship!
@@ChesterWilsonJr the big difference though is at least Jerry has rings and wasnt given a franchise by his dad like dolan was.
People don’t understand the question is not why didn’t the Knicks offer them a max The question should be how serious was the injury report and how much money was he asking for
the knicks owner needs to do an undercover boss to know how free agents free about the knicks
THIS IS THE ONE
This is extremely hilarious looking back on it
Uhhhhh, what if I told you that I didn't even know DeAndre Jordan was playing for NYK?
I think my decision to spurn the Knicks for the Nets at the start of last season may be the smartest decision I've made in my life.
Max doing his best not to laugh LMAO
I know this is suppose to be a debate show. But I find it more fun when Max and SAS agree on topics
Knick expectations: Zion, KD and Kyrie.. Knicks Reality: Got Shitty players..
The day Michael Jordan stepped foot in MSG was Knicks worst day
JackGeezy and he’s from fucking Brooklyn!!!!
Brooklyn is Madina! what high praise! Truly a blessed borough.
“At least Barclays is Medina now at the very least.” 😂😂😂
It's a bad day when SAS brings out the race card
I swear to fucking god im reading comments just to laugh at this and nobody except you and other guy brought up this.. When he said that you right away know what situation is. Funny shit!
So everyday is a sad day lmao I couldn't resist
Knicks: DON'T MAKE THE PLAYOFFS AGAIN SAS:"Ahh shit, here we go again..."
“It’s over..it’s over....” - Stephan A. Smith, as his soul and will as a Knick fan evaporates
Damn!
Who else saw Stephen a Smith post about the Knicks yesterday on Instagram
So a team in Canada is gonna be better than the Knicks again?? Shocker
Atleast they have a good city for players to live in . In Toronto everyone says it’s too cold But it’s almost the same thing in New York
I watched this show when it was Steven A and Skip Bayless and I loved it. I didn’t mind Max Kellerman when he first came on but it wasn’t the same. I love Max Kellerman now. He’s really grown into the role and I feel like Steven A respects him more
Im actually glad we didnt get injury prone irving or achilles torn kd.... I like the julius randall signing 21 and 8 is pretty good...
Yh it took me a few hours to see the positives, but kyrie a ball dominant pg and achilles injury kd i doubt it will work, it will be like russ again
KD playing with one leg would be better than any player the Knicks ever had
KD a 7ft shooter He’ll be fine
30 wins just for the 11th pick season.
Lmao what ever makes y’all feel better 😂 Randle nice tho he gonna get better
Knicks might really kill Stephen a one year smh 🤦🏽♂️
Smh whens the funeral
Oh no they won’t! 😡
max always said , you'll regret KP .
“We fast forward to yesterday” 😂
And to add insult to injury.. they bring Molly back... haven’t us NY Knicks fans suffered enough!?
Stephen A: "It's the worst day for me, too. Because Max Kellerman is absolutely right"
"barclays is the medina now" LMAOOOO
"Here's where it gets really really worse" lmaoooo dude so funny.
Who's back here after the Knicks are in the 2021 Playoffs
nah im sure he would still take kd n kyrie over a 1st rd out
Lol Kyrie and KD only wanted to go to the Knicks if Porzingis stayed
This one of my Fave Knicks Take Lol its very Eulogy like 😆
Thank God we have Stephen !!
