Draymond is the best all around defender that I've ever seen. He's not the Glove on the perimeter or Dream in the post. But he's 80 percent of both of those guys combined.
Knicks was 8-2 in there last 10 before this now we get a sas rant when we lose to a top 2 team Knicks for clicks 😂
Draymond got carried by two hall of famers. They would have legit been fine with any other defensive specialist in the league
Green not close to Rodman
draymond is overrated he is good role playerbut not a great player like sas tell
Molly looking good today
The over compensating that SAS does to try to convince people draymond green is a HOF is becoming incredibly sad. Like what Dogg said, he has absolutely no skill that makes him a HOF player. Anyone can do what Green does, given that they’ve played with the same team for YEARS. That’s what SAS and company mean by when they say “he doesn’t stuff no one else can replicate”. He literally doesn’t do anything special. Brings the ball up the court, waits for Steph or Klay to get free form screens, pass them the ball. Or cuts. Or if draymond brings the ball up, he IMMEDIATELY gets rid of it, dribble hand off. When Green starts dribbling, he turns it over and cannot create for himself or for others. Being a playmaker is creating for others. Draymond Green has no skill whatsoever or posses any threat on the court that defenses are focusing on draymond. Because Curry can run around, it helps whenever Green makes a move, but let’s not get it twisted that green is creating all the momentum and movement. He isn’t. Draymond Green owes Curry and company his life 10x times over. Because curry and company is the exact and SOLE reason draymond even exits
Haliburton better than Brunson? Where???😂😂😂😂😂
Ah, no, Rodman was a better offensive player than Draymond, and his rebounding and defense against all 5 positions was far superior to Draymond’s 💯 Plus, he didn’t cost his teams in the finals 😂
i remember when the narrative was the knicks need to just get better and make it a place where free agents want to go…now they've done that and SAS is still disgusted. lol. hilarious. hey SAS they are saving those assets for the right trade…relax…youre right about the haliburton/topin point. when they drafted toppin i thought that meant randle would be traded. now they dont have either.
This is great coverage of the Bucks win.
On God I always feel like the goal line keeps moving for the NYK. 3 to 4 years ago we just wanted these guys to make the playoffs or have a decent PG. The media needs to stop riding on the knicks when they’re on the low. It’s a work in progress, relax we’re getting there slowly but surely.
Severely overrated
Question yo doggie WHO REGGIE BROWN??
Shut up, Molly…..
Drau def is a hofer
What Stephen A said about the worst place to be is in the middle is spot on. When you are in the middle you cannot draft well. It’s funny that he can see it with the Knicks but cannot see it with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL. When they want to praise Tomlin for being a great coach, they fail to recognize that the Steelers have not been competitive since 2016. They haven’t been to the Super Bowl since 2010. Sure he has not had a losing season, but he hasn’t put the team in a competitive position since 2016. Tomlin is a decent coach but his voice has gotten real old in Pittsburgh. It is time for a new coach.
What star? Which star is available?
5:49 to see the most god awful necklace you'll ever see anyone w/ that much money wear
this is a good debate about draymond’s legacy but i think they’ll let him in the hall because of what SAS was saying
Did mad dog just say Ben Wallace was a better offensive player than Draymond? 😂
Talking about offense in a defense Convo is crazy😅😅
Someone tell SASmith and Molly this os a spprts show not s fashion show
NBA hall of fame is a joke,it is a shame for the greats,that so many mediocre players are in the NBA hall of fame
The old-timer reluctant to acknowledge Ohtani’s popularity and skill.
Chris Russo is proficient in defamation and is a racist.
He should be expelled from sports-related programs.
My new York friends are so pissed with the Knicks and Giants they're literally in the funk! I hear it daily!!!!
Shut up Molly
I’m proud of this Knicks team, I genuinely like this teams players & sure we are not the most talented team in the league but the team plays hard & I’m glad the Knicks have given this team some runway. My favorite Knicks team in a long time
who is reggie brown?
Stephen A 😂😂
Put Robert Horry in the Hall of Fame, he is even better than Draymond Green on offense and defense. Robert Horry has more Championships has made Clutch 3 Pointers to win huge Playoff Games.
So who is out there to trade for?
If they won 2016 championship Draymond 100 percent would have won the final mvp
SAS lost a lot of weight…
Thank you Molly , that suit is slick!!!
Brunson isn’t a great player you guys are watching a different sport
