Tech guy out here doing work! They should be paying that guy 40 million unstead of KD. Dude setting people up, moving pieces. MVP MVP MVP!
Perk stop that man, it's so infuriating to watch AD being pathetic when he can be great!! If lakers trade ad for embeid. I would take it
Seeing the two sports shows cross over with swagu talking hoops was a vibe 😂 needs to happen more
Yo perk banged nene?!?
the whole "but AD is facing the best in the league in Joker" point is hella cringe from a competitive standpoint. when playing the best, then you should bring your best for pride sake at least. thats the whole point of this shit….if AD is, then that shit looks sad cuz Joker is dog walking him. if AD isnt, then get the hell off the court.
Finally they all come to work🎙
No one is home that's look better!
Lakers should've done everything in their power to get T. Lue. D. Ham isn't going to cut it
Non Lakers fans got more to say about AD than anyone. Its Jokic and the Nuggets at home. Can they get some credit?
Ad can't be face of the Lakers while bron is still playing
Thank you Swagu!
Kendrick Perkins makes no sense when he talks basketball
For a football analyst To come and make more sense than him it's ridiculous
He kept cutting swagu off and these other NBA atalyst the ESPN have don't know shit
Perkins talks like a village idiot
We have to lower the expectation for AD. It is about time already. Hes not on year 2 anymore. AD is that guy 10 games a season. Lower the expectations and remove him from top 7 or whatever. AD is a top 20 in the league at max.
The who's your daddy chants is crazy lol
You won one series that led to a ring and your their daddy now? Nuggets fans and ciach Mike cray cray fam.
Soft ass media lol. Your performance can vary in an 82 game season, not your mindset. If you want to be a champion your mindset must be that of a champions from day 1. Champions come to play 1 game out of 82 with the mentality ike that game matters.
Y'all need to stop. The talk of salaries only come into play for NBA and NFL. Rarely is MLB, hockey,soccer etc. Players salary is a point in a debate on players performance. Stop discussing athletes salaries.
Football mentality players always are the best with back against the walls. They have a standard of greatness. It’s everyday. Every practice matters. A game of inches. The passion and iq of focus. AD lacks a standard. He was getting his butt played with so that’s why we need Dwight Howard as his big bro
5:12 are those guys unable to move on their own ?
It’s one game and they went against the defending champs and y’all are criticizing AD. Now if he underperforms against the Suns I can’t defend him if plays below average.
AD reminds me of some kids I knew grewing up. They have all the resources and connections to maximize their talent yet did worse off or ended up worse off than some who had nothing. Man has LeBron as a partner yet learning nothing.
I get he had a bad game but damn y’all only do AD like this man it’s so unfair KD had a bad game, Chris Paul, had a bad game, Trae Young had a bad game, Klay has played average since the preseason,Jordan Poole played trash, Jalen Brunson played average why aren’t they getting any criticism? 🤔
Draymond, & Beal we’re both injured the first game are they street clothes?
AD simply has to do better, it’s true it’s the first game of the season but for the last 2 seasons these kind of games have been happening too often for AD dudes like a busted iPhone charger sometimes it’ll work sometimes it’s not going to and that’s not normal
Jokic is a MONSTER and ain’t nothing AD can do with him defensively. AD should at least be able to match Jokic’s point output
Imagine doing a who's your daddy chant to Kobe…he would drop 70 on you the next game
It’s crazy Lebron been trying to pass the Lakers to AD for entire years and he can’t take it.
