Not tatum, jokic so much more deserving
LeChina James gotta retire
Why is this angry man yelling at me? I didnt do anything to him! Im worried hes gonna have a heart attack. 😢 I hope they have a defibrillator on set.
It's weird hearing Stephen A talk so positively about Lebron.
Why doesn't SAS just talk normally? Yuck
My list would be Giannis, Jokic, Curry, Bron, and Luka in that order
Wow, so the NBA is like hollywood now!? If you're not popular, you don't deserve a max contract…
25? I thought tatum was 19
So we going to act like jimmy and jokic didn’t have great playoff runs
Everyone you named either than bron had a easy run
Mad dog knows nothing about basketball, I can tell that certainly
That list is broken. No MVPs from the last couple years and Lebron can’t play the same minutes as he did before, let alone an entire season.
how tatum over jokic? theres others but im taking in consideration of injuries and age
Giving Lebron that money at this age just bc he is more popular is just stupid…
A) They did lose to Denver in part bc of him
B) That kind of contract is to secure the future of the franchise and Lebron is about to turn 39. And contrary to what everyone believes he has been missing too many games for the last 6 years.
No KD ? 🤦🏽 Hasn't it been proven you can plug him in then there anywhere and he's going to come up with the w
Tatum should not be there, Joker should be there
Curry over LeBron don't make sense at all
To me Luka won’t deserve a Supermax until he wins a playoff series💯
The question is, does Jokic have more following than Tatum?
Jokic
You’re gonna pick a guy who missed the playoffs a guy who lost in the first round over Nikola? Okay cool just making sure 😐
A supermax is literally a 5 year almost 60m a year contract. How dumb do you have to be to give LeBron that today. He literally contemplated retiring a week ago. Jokic not being here is criminal. How can you Jayson Tatum on here over Jokic aswell. If the awful argument of "box office" is the reason then it doesn't even apply here, Jayson has 0 MVP, 0 chips and doesn't have anything crazy about him. This list is comparable to the Iggy take
Complains about Tatum and Doncic complaining to the refs on calls but completely ignores Jokic doing the same exact thing. Every nba star complains when they don't get the calls they want
lmao these kids cant be Curry either so stop with that😂💀 and no he dosent look normal while doing what he does
Luka before Tatum is criminal
LeBron James?!?!?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lebron? Super max lol
What is mad dog talking about Sam Jones
I'm assuming Jimmy is not extension eligible yet and that's why Tatum is on the list.
I thought this list came out months ago before the playoffs. It kind of makes sense if it came out in March, but now?!?
No Jokic? I'd replace LeBron with Jokic only because of age we don't know how much longer he's going to play. We've been saying that for a while but the guys nearly 40 and is recently getting injured quite a lot.
no JOKIC or Embiid ?
for a moment I thought Stephen A was putting his name for number #1😂😂
His sells His opinion very well
Lebron is gone . Not worth the deal
Jason Tatum is box office? 😑
i disagreed with his list where’s the joker???
Is this a list of people who deserve the supermax at any given time? Or only people who are up for the supermax now?
Stephen A. 2 years behind. The only 2 players deserve supermax deal is Jokic and Jimmy Butler. Peace
