Bruh Luka is the guy everyone wants to play with not Halliburton 😂😂
Stephen A is sick
Surprised JJs back
Stephen A doesn't like when basketball players actually out shine him on NBA topics
All the talk about Halliburton yet that whole pacers team is locked and ready this year
JJ needs his own show. I love seeing him take SAS on. He clearly pushes his buttons and it's fun to watch.
So I guess part of Doc Rivers' contract is also for ESPN to hire his son… 😂
Did Rivers retire
Yes it’s one game. But I will say pacers not beating lakers in 7 game series. They have a chance tomorrow no doubt. Both sides are looking good. It’s gonna come down to the support players. D-Lo, Rui, Prince. If they knocking down. It’ll be a long night for Indiana
Stop hyping…
Might be a stretch but he could be considered the new point god.
Austin Rivers is Andrew Tate 🤣😂🤣😂FOH
I like haliburton
Lebron is about to be 39 😂 ain’t nothing huge about beating an old man. It’s just cause bron still giving folks buckets. Y’all make stuff bigger then it is, Yes we expect greatness from him, Bc Lebron has been on the biggest stage in basketball longer than any other player, but If hali & the pacers win they win because they are talented & people underestimated them. Also cause AD didn’t show up 😂😂 cause bron gone do bron things but if they both are on 100 & locked in. It’ll be easy work for LA cause no one can guard either one.
If this was 2016 or 18 Lebron. It would simply be…. how bad do you think Lebron and co are going to beat them.
I get it though. The media has to sell the matchup to raise the ratings & the hype.
The bottom line is Bron is old but still great top 3 when healthy. But this isn’t the same Bron that we have seen teams lose all will to play against when he dominates. Teams can challenge him now cause he is declining just not at the rate everyone thought.
It took juggernaut GSW to hold that man back from 6 maybe 7 rings. Hell the 73-9 warriors without KD was considered the best assembled team of all time & he was still giving them work. Hell 51 pts on the KD steph team
Side note. Hali the best true pg in the league rn. I’ll give lamelo his credit too. Them young boys play their position the way it’s supposed to be played.
The kid has a bright future & that pacers team will make the playoffs. I feel like rn they are better then golden state & a lot of top seeded teams
Hali is my current fav new gen pg reminds me of Chris Paul. Fearless & mentally sound. Knows his job & performs it well.
Austin rivers should be in the League
what would it mean if a relatively new player bests a 39 y.o vet?
Lol remember when tyrese scammed kings fans with an nft rug pull. Ahhhh doesn’t matter
Jj next Superman
Why austin retire. He is still in his prime years
Lakers length defensively will be on full display.
OOOh that last comment from Austin was cold. . . "I was there for about 4 months . . . trust me I GET IT"
Don't forget luca😊😊😊
Superstar???? Man hell tf naw 🤣🤣🤣🤣
