FIRST TAKE | “Brunson is most disrespected PG” – Perk roasts Stephen A. after Knicks lost to Nuggets

Defending champs Michael Porter Jr who has been on a roll had another Top shooting night on his way to 31 points Nicola yic notched his 22nd triple double he’s good and the Nuggets held off the New York Knicks for a 113 100 Win Thursday now while it’s a tough loss

For the Knicks Jaylen Brunson still a bright spot for New York this season Brunson leads the team in points assists games played leading the Knicks to the fifth best record in the East and even more impressive consider obviously all the injuries that they’ve dealt with

Here in New York so we bring in our guy Kendrick Perkins as promised hello perk like the Pinstripe how we feeling How We Living what’s up Miley what’s going on what’s going on what’s up what’s up big perk all right there we go there we go that’s the energy I need yeah little

Pepp oh yeah I’m ready I’m ready I’m just just preoccupied Stephen A looks relaxed he looks like he’s he’s he’s ready for this week he’s ready for this Milwaukee Adventure he’s on all right perk tell me this which point guard would you take over Jaylen Brunson right

Now I wouldn’t take one not nobody really and there’s no disrespect to Steph Curry is no disrespect to SGA but I’m not taking anybody over jayen Brunson matter of fact Molly I should have asked James and the producers to pull up footage over this over what guys

Were saying while the Knicks were on on this West Coast road trip that they was just on we did you see him handing out 40 pieces did you hear what Mike Brown said about Jaylen Bronson for as guys far as the attention and the Deep details that they had to put around him

Blitzing him did you hear what Draymond Green said after they went there after jayen Bronson went to Golden State and gave them that work when it comes down to being a floor General right it’s no other player in the game outside of Luca and I wouldn’t even consider him a point

Guard he’s a point forward that controls the game like Jaylen Bronson what he’s doing for the New York Knicks despite all the injuries I can’t say enough about it and right now he is the best point guard in the game in my opinion when it comes to being the floor manager

And the floor General that’s what he’s doing getting buckets and doing it on the defensive side of things he’s second in the league and taking charges Jaylen Brunson has been Sensational as a native New York and a diard Nicks fan I’m so thankful and grateful for the greatness that he’s put

On display I think he’s been arguably the greatest free agent pickup this decade outside of LeBron James I mean he’s been that phenomenal averaging 29 a game by the way since Julius Randall and OG and anobi has gone down and having said that he’s still behind Shay gilis Alexander let’s pump

The breaks just a touch and put into perspective who Shay gilis Alexander is and what this brother brings to the table he’s second in the league and scoring he’s averaging 30.9 points per game career high 54.4% shooting from the field 375% from three-point range leads the NBA in over

Two steals per game career high 6.4 assist per game right there with Brunson at 65 14.7 points in the paint per game which is fifth in the NBA and check out this stat perk on Pace to join Michael Jordan as the only players in league history with two seasons averaging 30

Points and five assists shooting 50% from the field by the age of 25 this brother is something special not only that he’s a legit 6667 I know what we’re seeing from not taking anything away from him especially being in New York on that stage without Julius Randall and an

Anobi and doing what he’s doing but despite what he’s doing Shay gilis Alexander is still battling for a number one seed in a tough Western Conference doing what he’s doing and oh by the way he’s under the age he’s he’s he’s under the AG 25 and this the brother special I

Know that Jaylen Brunson is special too I’m sold but shil just Alexander no I’m not going to tell you I would take Brunson over him I’m not going to do that well well say me let me say this SGA has been balling I think the future

Is bright for him I think he will be an all NBA player for years to come first team at that but let me say something it speaks volumes okay let me say this it’s one thing for us to come on television and praise what we’re witnessing out of

All these young players that are balling out of control right now uh in the NBA but it’s another thing for your peers for your peers the people that you’re going against to go in the post game and say these things that they’re saying about J and but what they’re saying about

Jayen Bronson and so when I think about jayen Bronson okay and I just think about what he’s doing the impact of how he’s doing it SGA is balling I understand but on top go ahead the reason here’s what I think you’re missing perk respectfully this is what I think you’re missing okay we’ve

Seen SGA do something similar before so when they talk about him now they talk about him as if it’s ordinary he’s 66 with his ball handling shot making skill set and you seen it before from him and you’re seeing it more now as they’re top of the number one seat in the Western

Conference the the difference between him and Jaylen Brunson no one saw this coming Draymond Green spoke about this the other day no one saw this coming so you’re looking at Jaylen Brunson and even though he’s had success in the past in Dallas had some success last year especially in the players against Miami

What you’re seeing now is like damn we never saw this coming whereas with Shay Gil just yeah that that’s him that that’s him that’s who he is I I I I get that I get that and it’s a valid point they didn’t want to believe it they saw

It they just didn’t want to believe it and he had to every day he got to come out and fight to prove his love okay okay per I hate to cut you Kentucky thanks to Jack Go’s 10 threes Coach Cal now Falls to one and four in his last

Five NCAA tournament games the Grizzlies move on here’s Coach Cal on the loss yeah I’ve lost tough games before and we’ve won some really buzzer beater games pulling game I mean I’ve been through everything in my career so but this is one that’s like man you know Kentucky went to Thursday’s

Matchup with Oakland As a 13 and 1 Half Point favorite according to ESPN bet that is the third largest upset of an SEC team in the NCAA tournament since the field expanded in 1985 all right joining us now is our ESPN basketball analyst Andrea Carter all right Andrea um your biggest

Takeaway from Oakland’s big win over Kentucky last night the biggest takeaway Brian is that teams are not going to win national championships when their roster is based on oneandone players it’s just not going to happen in this era with the transfer portal Jack gki was in his sixth season of college basketball his

Level of experience is Elite and the thing is about young guys it’s hard to get them to understand the importance of very little things Jack gki is coming off the bench he only started in 15 games yes he lights It Up From Beyond the three-point line but for young guys

They were probably like I’m not worried about this guy coming off the bench he’s not going to hit that many threes he lit him up for seven in the first half it takes young guys a while to make adjustments especially this Kentucky team that struggled with defense all

Season long you’re not going to win a National Championship with oneand done guys that’s the biggest takeaway but Coach Cal isn’t going anywhere because Kentucky fans show up season after season to watch these Superstars come in and then go to the NBA they average 19,900 fans at home this season it’s not

Just coach Cal’s buyout it’s the fan base he’s not going anywhere they show up for those games yeah you’re right about that um let’s talk about the women’s side because of course it tips off uh as well today and as it stands undefeated South Carolina the odds on favorite to win the national

Championship that’s according to ESPN bet now youve got the defending Champion LSU Tigers they boast the third shortest title odds but the Tigers in that same region as Caitlyn Clark and Iowa meaning we could get a rematch of last year’s title game so with that what would you

Think a title mean to Caitlyn Clark listen people are going to give me a hard time for this and that’s fine but if Caitlyn Clark wins the national championship this season she is the go of college basketball the greatest of all time there are multiple reasons why

The first one are the records that she’s broken on the men’s and women’s side Caitlyn Clark will be the first player ever Brian to lead the country in not just scoring people want to say she’s the greatest scorer of all time and that’s true but scoring and assists

She’s the only player to reach 3,000 points and 1,000 assists no player has ever done that before so there are things that she’s done that no player on the men’s or women’s side has ever done and to me I know players have won multiple national championships Brianna Stewart W

Four Maya Mo was my favorite player I had newspaper clippings of her every time I see her or I talk to her I get butterflies cuz I still get that excited but Caitlyn Clark if she wins one she’s the goat to win multiple that’s a representation of a program to win one

That’s a representation of a player if Caitlyn wins one along with the record she has on the men’s and women’s ins side and the team she would potentially have to take down to get it she’s the goat all right so let me talk to you about South Carolina their favorite

Obvious you know this to win it all uh are you taking the Gamecock or are you taking the field I’ve got to go with the game for for hey h H H it’s over h First Blood an ally has been defeated an ally has been defeated an enemy has been defeated huh Your tower has been destroyed an enemy has been defeated double kill an enemy has been defeated ruin your team has destroyed a tower it’s over on double kill an ally has been defeated you have defeated an enemy enemy double killing dominating double kill for for for there is always time for one more

Adventure Right on the be may I have the chance may I fantastic variation only cowards fear that which is different from them By right on the be no wor bre may I have when you say dangerous do you mean fun on the beat together we me first Blood fastic variation SC is a Common Language shared by hum and time for the ball an ally has been defeated only cowards fear that which is different from

Them it’s you may I have an enemy has been defeated you have been defeated an enemy has been defeated
