“The older he gets, the better he was.” – Chuck, about Kenny.
Reg season is totally different from playoffs. Bulls beat rockets in 6. But I’m happy all rockets fans got something to say. So why the rockets not win 3 straight???? It’s cool I’ll wait
Even if the Rockets had gotten one, they definitely werent getting two.
@32:51 Big update on KYRIE & Stephen A – I doubt most folks will watch long enough to hear this so I time stamped it.
The jet got game off the court he is pullin 💯🤌💪
Nah him avenging that 3-1 lead ain gon mean nun without the chip frfr
Brother, why are you yelling?
IF PHILLY LET THE CELTICS GET OUT OF PHILADELPHIA WITH A WIN TONIGHT. THAT MEANS THE PROCESS IS OFFICIALLY OVER.
Kenny, you're wrong and heres why😂 now you're on MJ personal list
Lets go Heat and Warriors and Nuggets
Kenny’s dreaming, man. True, those 93-95 Rockets teams had some serious firepower, and the Dream was operating at full capacity, but come on, MJ owned Clyde and the Jet. Pippen’s gonna shut down Horry and Co on the perimeter, and Rodman would make life hell on Hakeem in the paint. Also, Phil ain’t getting out coached by Rudy T- period. Sorry, Jet, but ain’t no way I can buy your team beating the Bulls with MJ.
Ain't no way in hell….the rockets would've beat the bulls 😅😅😅 stop tripping kenneth
In the words of chuck "the older he get, the better he say he was lol😂
kenny smith wasn't much better than a bench player. bro has no business talking about michael jordan
If Hakeem destroyed David Robinson, Shaq, ewing and others centers as well plus Rodman guard him in the spurs series. So what you think he gonna do to the bulls bigman and also the rockets had shooters everywhere you couldn’t double team!
Donovan Mitchell is home watching the playoffs, dude. 😂
Yea, Bulls would’ve LOST to the Rockets had they beaten the Magic. And I’m from The City. So yes it would’ve happened when you think about the 2 teams. It was a reason why they won back to backs
Also Rodman couldn’t guard Hakeem the spurs switch him on Hakeem when David Robinson couldn’t contain him and even when Rodman was guarding him they sent double teams and they rockets had shooters everywhere so it’s basically pick your poison!
No you didn’t say what I think you said…🤦🏽♂️🤔🤷🏾♂️ start time 14:00
Great interview but Stephen can't get himself out of character Kenny geniune and honest don't bash greats to build up one like some pundits
I’m listening..
MJ is the Goat 🐐 but Hakeem “the Dream” was a Great Player and we’ll never know what would’ve happened if they played. But we do know Rockets 🚀 are 2 times champions
QGTM
Yes MJ was unstoppable but, Hakeem was too. The Bulls have no answer for him. That Rockets team was dangerous. I'm not saying they'd win but I can't say they'd lose either. Kenny has a point. The Bulls struggled a bit with Barkley's Phoenix Suns and they had NO defense. If not for Paxton game winning wide-open 3, there would've been a game 7. I'm just saying, It's possible that Rockets team would've beat Jordan's Bulls.
It's not splitting hair between THE GOAT and Bron. The gap isn't small. It goes THE GOAT…………….2-3-4 etc…
Whats Kenny supposed to say. The mans a champion teamates one of the greatest centers to ever lace them up. And "D riding aint never been a form of tansportation!"
Its a shame Kenny diesnt haveva job in the rockets organization… I campaigned for thd last 10 years to get The jet for our coach …smh just call him and say what you wanna do heres the paper type your job and price and come to work .
Always been a fan of Kenny Smith, but anyone else notice how much spit was coming out every time he spoke🤢😁😂
Looooooool….. what the hell are you now Klay Thompson…. Anthony Davis or something???? HAHAHA….
Kenny is the luckiest man in the NBA. Lucky the Rockets didn't want to pay a premium Point guard. Lucky TNT had him with Shaq and Barkley. Back then if they had to choose I can guarantee they would not have picked him.
Start time- 13:54 The way “we” see Jordan Poole acting “you” see why Draymond Lashed out🤷🏾♂️🤦🏽♂️ Are listening to yourself sir?😂😂😂
I’m a journalist and Great work because I listen sir. Don’t be upset with me I’m just doing my job.😂
😂😂😂
I'll ask this to Kenny Smith: Why your Rockets didn't SMACKED Michael's Bulls 91,92,93 if you had the same squad, or better question why you didn't won the Western Conference those years, and Why your Rockets didn't SMACKED Michael's Bulls 96,97,98.. In 96 you couldn't beat sonics..
Jordan even admitted he was glad the Rockets couldn’t get out of the West to face them. Go look up the Bulls record against the Rockets
Yes my Brother Kenny the Jet'Smith,you the coolest Brother on inside the NBA.bessings to you Bro🥇
Time stamp 53:00. You're welcome!
"Kenny, bring me some water" – Hakeem
The sec steven says me undies I laugh 🤣
Kenny makes sense who would have guarded the dream . That would have been the main reason the rockets could have beat them . And the more I think about it without grant and no Rodman ? Yeah that would have been a strong possibility.
