The most pathetic thing is if harden waa serious about winning he would play like it. I watched that boston series again and all harden does is drive=turnover OR drive= flopping crying for foul he doesnt get then he shuts down on offense
He don’t want to get in Elite-Player Shape! As Father Time intrudes your career you have to be in Elite Player Shape. Talent will only get you so far in your later years!
The definition of hoe is James Harden
Nick's hilarious!
Back at it again with the first take B team 😂
Tough to see Rose, Kellerman and JVG go. ESPN just isn’t the same anymore.
Nick Friedell is gold! 😂 Love his relaxed demeanour.
Stephen A took Jalen's woman and now got him fired
awkward n weird lol
I miss Molly, SA, and Russo all in studio.
Dame is not going anywhere. ESPN keeps adding him into the conversation
This host lineup is 💩💩🗑️
Giant drama boy!
How many time has Dame said he wants to stay in Portland? Yall make it a topic every day.
This same Friedell was telling us 4 years ago Kawhi and PG would win a chip
Survived to many storms to be bothered by raindrops sounds like he’s going to stay from my perspective
We still don't know right?
He could be staying in Philly.
From that whole pic big three I only respect Westbrook
He was trying hard to do it alone
I think First Take should invite Shannon on to do a few days, maybe even a week, while Stephen A is on vacation.
Talking about GOOD RATINGS!!!!!
ESPN fired Jalen Rose, Max Kellerman, Keyshawn Johnson, and Jeff Van Gundy? Cleaning house. But we're still stuck with Kendrick Perkins! 🤣
What does Windhorst mean here when he says "leave with the team"? 0:58
Yall shoulda let windhorst and friedell go..my gosh they are terrible…should of left the better people stay like keyshawn and them…espn/disney going downhill sheesh
They keep giving lewindy all this air time
I've got him beat on the bad breakups
No freddie he DON'T want to win. He wants to play!
What is the fallout after ESPN fired everyone?
Disney out here firing folks because their woke movies losing them money
Windhorse trying to hard to become another meme with his hand motions
🤣🤡
I really disagree here, I mean we were talking about the Clippers staying relevant in this new building. I think this does that.
Harden has shown a team can ride him into the playoffs and Kawai has shown he can be that piece that gets you through those games and gets you a chance at that ring.
You fired Jeff van Gundy?!?!? Max Kellerman?!?! Jalen Rose?!?!?! Come on! 🤬
Idk how I feel letting Maxey go, that’s my guy. But I don’t know how well he’d fit next to Dame although I think we should try it if we can keep him. I do think Zach could fit nicely next to Maxey. I would really like to get one of them or just fill the team out and have Maxey take a big next step, which I think he will. It’s just hard, bc you don’t know if he’s gonna take that step, but we know how good Dame is NOW, same with Zach. It’s a hard decision to make but hopefully daryl Morey can find away to get one of them without giving up the next superstar in the league Maxey.
Westbrook
Hardin
and KD are always wining because over the last several years they all asked for trades and have been on numerous teams as well
Nick fridel should’ve been released
Dude giving up leading the league in scoring to lead the league in assist is selfish 😭
Stat padding hot trash. = James Harden. Shave that stupid beard already. Fake santa claus
HARDEN IS THU! DONE! OVER WITH! FINITO!!! GET HIM THE DEVIL OUT OF THE LEAGUE PERIOD!!!!!!
Smith on vacation with j rose girl?????
Nick be trying to be funny and its annoying. Like bro can you even dribble a ball?
Harden is old harden is slow harden is no longer a good player and needs to be bounced from the NBA cause he doesn’t make any team better
The Clippers don't even have a Star that plays a full season,so yes Harden fits right in 😂
Embid has to get into playoff shape ,
You guys let go Jeff Van Gundy that was was a huge mistake. Letting go of Jalen Rose, good move literally did no research. When is K. Perkins going to be gone?
Raindrops/AKA Seattle =OKC for Ja 😮😂😂😂
Dude shows no loyalty whatsoever. I can’t trust anyone like that.
I wish that team would turn into a non desirable free agency destination.
Clippers 💯
Harden plays with Clippers next year he will be back to Houston Harden. Reason being he would have more games by himself than with a healthy Kawhi or healthy PG.
