Clippers are the BIGGEST THREAT to Nuggets 👀 – Stephen A. BELIEVES in the Clippers 🏆 | First Take

Which team’s the biggest threat to the Nuggets right now in the west ladies and gentlemen it is the Los Angeles Clippers that’s who I’m going with if kawh Lon and obviously it’s a huge huge if him and Paul George stay healthy or they’re healthy come playoff time it

Comes down to James Harden cuz I have no doubt that Paul George and kawi Leonard are going to show up on a basketball court if they’re healthy if James Harden obviously that’s a if I know what he’s capable of doing but if he shows up I think the Clippers could win the

Championship tyou I consider to be one of the top two coaches in the game of basketball I think he’s he’s exceptional all right and I’m gonna say this we don’t do it enough ladies and gentlemen we all need to stand down and give some love to Russell Westbrook Norman pal can

Ball we got that we know the people Terence man we like him of course kawwai Paul George James Harden I get it but Russell Westbrook shooting 46% from the field just averaging 11 a game coming off the bench he is selfless not selfish he is an Energizer Bunny he is a spark

Plug and here’s the thing we don’t say this about Russell Westbrook we going to say it here on national television today he’s a leader you can’t roll up in that locker room playing half ass giving a subpar effort and Russell Westbrook going to let you get away with it oh no

No no no no he ain’t scared of nobody Ru Rider and that brother whatever you saw from James Harden from James if you had any question marks about what James Harden is gonna give you oh you ain’t gonna have that question about he he ain’t gonna be lack a days ago or subpar

In a locker room with Russell Westbrook Russell Westbrook has taken a lot of crit criticism over the years okay from all of us my God it stops now ever since that man stepped on in in a Los Angeles Clippers uniform he has been a huge Plus

For that team and I think he’s going to be a big reason why they gonna have a shot at the championship Clippers Clippers okay I like that Clippers is the biggest threat to the Nuggets perk I want to ask you this though who do you think is the most important player for

The Clippers title hopes oh it’s kawhai Leonard Jordan right like we’re talking about a guy that is a two-time Finals MVP and when Kawai Leonard is healthy he is capable he has the capability of being the best player in any series any series well look last season the Suns really got

Lucky in the first round when Kawai went down because they was about to he was about to hand it to them and send them home with with Russell Westbrook on his side with no Paul Jord when it comes down to Kawai he doesn’t shy away from

The moment on both ends of the floor I haven’t seen Kawai this happy since Moby Dick was a goldfish and he’s playing with great joy he got his money and his contract extenstion and kawhai Leonard is the guy that is going to carry this clipp of team if he’s healthy to winning

That championship this season I got them pick to win it all yeah I agree he’s the most important although he doesn’t play he’s a two-time defensive Player of the Year also although he doesn’t devote that kind of energy any more perk on that end of the Court he’s a he’s a a

True Go Buck a bucket getter he has the mid-range game he’s improved his three-point shot he can drive the ball lay it up either hand he’s looking the flush on you with either hand I love kawhai offensive game because he can put it play with his back to the basket and

Shoot that turnar around that Kobe fade away yeah he’s the key to the the Clippers going but Paul George needs to stay healthy too because over the last couple of years is either Paul George has been out been out we I would like to see both of

These guys and not come up like they did against the nuggets in the bubble they came up short Stephen A Smith you saw that too I know that I know I know that there’s no doubt about that I have want to see I I have to con confess uh uh

Club sh Shay I mean uh first of all I’m very very appla in that basketball knowledge some of the Historical Notes that you brought up and secondly you’re kind of made up for the slow ass start that you had with goat James to start off the show and noce and notice big

Perk and notice big perk we here sharing bring up them Lakers notice they ain’t a part of this discussion in terms of who’s most important because we we we we know they ain’t a part of this subject just yet we know that make a move watch when we make a

Move check back with me go okay check back with me in two weeks we will we willo we get you in the morning on Monday and Tuesdays plus we get night Caps Plus You Can’t Hide You Can’t Hide I [Laughter] [Applause] [Applause] mean
