2 key differences: Warriors were 73-9, Lakers were 37-45. KD was coming off a loss to the Warriors that he joined. Kawhi is coming of winning a championship.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
thats probably what makes the move weak, why join that team if thats the case. You might as well stay where you are and keep winning.
King Lion so leaving a championship team to join an unproven team is weak?
kawhi most likely forgot all about free agency 😂
@StraightEdgeFury what it do babyyyy
Lolol
He’s just scrolling through YouTube and he’s like oh wait I’m still a free agent
Google—->global truth project←–read “The Present” for the truth about life and death explained simply. It can change the world from page one. It is an absolute must-read.
Hehuaha
The only thing that’s weak Stephen A. is your hairline
OH SNAP!
Shit laker fan strikes again
Dylan Ramirez SAS is a retard
Joshua Bates lakers for life
I thought women was obsessed with each other hsir but damn you gay ass dudes nowadays got them beat.
NBA 2k rating if it happened.
Lebron: 98
Kawhi: 97
A.D: 96
🤷🏾♂️ Damn
Kuzma 83
Soldier for Christ lebron wasn’t even bad on defense lol y’all listen to whatever the internet say
Cap
Soldier for Christ have u seen his block in game 7 of the 2016 finals
Kawhi just beat everybody and won finals mvp. He can join the 96 bulls if he wants to. FOH Stephen A
No it’s a fucking pussy move, for lerbon. Everyone likes khwai
Was everyone saying this shit when golden state got kd, sound like torn apart warrior fans. Kawhi can do what he wants just like Kevin
@kc kc it’s not soft you just don’t like it and that goes for everybody that like your comment you all are probably just mad because he’s not going to your team.
Was it a weak move for you to join Skip Bayless and then take over after he put you on after all your shows got cancelled? 🤔😂 FOH
@FBI Agent I was on a pace to be president of the United States yet I am on YouTube exchanging dumb comments with you.
5:50 Stephen A Smith face. I’M DEAD BRUH LMFAO
5:51
5:10 had me weak 🤣
Just when I thought life was getting good and then BOOM, Molly Returns. 🤦🏽♂️😥
This bitch is hella annoying, her voice travels into my deepest nightmares
A. Guyton i hear people like they hate ladies every time females are on ESPN
@romeo Joseph Nigga what?
romeo Joseph learn how to write if you trying to make a point
Finaly molly said something good!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Kawhi in a interview said he was never a Lakers fan that’s fake news! Good job molly!
AI carries the 76ers his whole career and never won a ring imagine if he would of gave up on the team and city and gone out to chance rings he be considered a top 10 in nba history instead of a top 50
John Thompson I know he would be if he would have some rings on his hand the man crossed over MJ in his rookie year
Most of these players give up on front offices, not teams.
Exactly, he never won. Kawhi just took a mediocre team to a championship. He has accomplished the highest point with the raptors, he’s not giving up on them. He should be able to move wherever he wants to
BigHumble Mediocre? They were the 1st seed that year. They just needed LBJ to go to the west and an extra piece. Other than that I agree. Khawhi doesn’t owe them anything.
G2 DC he was dying to leave San Antonio for LA but pop wasn’t having it so he sent Leonard up north as far as he could away from LA
Stephen A is a good basketball analytics. But in this topic. Emotions are high for him. SMH
Nothing he said was wrong though, if Kawhi joins the Lakers they are going to the ship and there will be no competition. If that happens there is no point in watching just like when KD joined the Warriors.
Yeah because Knicks refused to offer a max contract to KD, and KD and Kyrie went to the team that is 20 minutes away.
Max: Kawhi, LeBron, AD, Steph, KD all on Lakers would win the NBA finals next year
SAS: you’re wrong and here’s why….
Hahahaha that fool is retarted
4 days ago he said he wouldn’t accept this as a weak move when Jay Williams said so, now SAS flip flopping 🤔
Not as weak as your New York Knicks trading🦄 Porzingis and getting nothing for him 👀
NOT TRUE. they got…….and a pack of Newports
home9dog2blue Hey that’s my shit! Lmfao😂😂😂U leave my cigs alone! Lol
Bipolar=ESPN Lebron 35 WTFFF ACT LIKE GOT CARRY TEAM UNTIL HE RETIRE
Breon Mitchell so he gotta be on a superteam? 😂
I see y’all playing the word game sidekick stop hatin Steven A the Knicks are bums
Are we forgetting KD and OKC blew a 3-1 lead to golden state?
Bobby Portis. Julius Randle. Wayne Ellington. that’s a weak move
Yup 😂
You’re dirty for that😂😂
Nothing is weaker than KD joining GSW 😂🤷🏽♂️
Ron Jeremy are you kidding? If Durant didn’t choke they would’ve been in the Finals and had a chance to win the championship? As Westbrook would say “What? What are you talking about”
BigHumble so Lebron who y’all call the best in the world is now just a 35 yr old and isn’t Curry injury prone due to ankle problems 🧐
@Ron Jeremy okay so you won’t a team’s GM to scout young talent hope they don’t burst stay healthy and years later hope the team can compete… whatever… I say Kawhi do you think young brother control your own destiny write your own story and prosper in your earned freedom.
@4evr1iamhim okay but in real life its KD but let me ask you this…
This year when the warriors beat the rockets without injuries ran through the blazers..and then got to the finals and KD got his last ring and finals mvp….9h wait that didnt happen KD got injured and then got injured again
So obviously we cant count damaged goods as the best player in the world….good try tho bro
@BigHumble you sound foolish…Let’s just say AD DOES get injured…
Using your own logic (Kawhi took scrubs to the finals and won) going there with the best player in the world…hello use your brain bro
Also if injuries is the only thing that can really stop your team…that’s the exact same as the fuck8ng warriors jesus christ NBA fans are stupid as fucking all hell
The thumbnail is PERFECT!
Khawi is pointing at SAS like “WTF is he talking about” 😂😂😂
He just lead a team to a championship. KD didn’t do that. Kawhi could do whatever he wants 🤷🏾♂️
Vlad Menard of course you say that since this can potentially benefit Lebron
If kd was in Toronto he would also have won the chip.
