3:04 this part cracked me up. "No." You have the 2 former athletes letting him know right away he is wrong.
The Knicks AND Philadelphia are going home in the 2nd round……A G A I N!
Perk is on that “Cheeseburger” Eddy Curry diet. Spends 3 months shedding 30 lbs and then gains it back up the next day! 😂
Someone explain to me how Sharpe is still employed by ESPN and Lowe was let go.
Yall really putting alot of stock in KAT lol
if he lost weight he can get his Azz beat in the post
Knicks beats 76ers without Randle and Robinson
Trae Young ended Ben Simmons’ Career, and took away Embiid’s easiest shot at a 💍in 21’… argue with a wall
Embid is the most overrated superstar of this generation.
Steven a buggin… hope he keeps that same energy at the end of the year
joel embiid is over rated and has won nothing his entire career
Haters and Knicks BANDWAGONERS…
🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴🔵
shannon making it seem like joel did nothing all offseason when he just played in the olympics tells you all you need to know about these shows and the focus on hot takes.
Ahh October.. the time of the yearly "If EmBiId Is HeAlThY" line..
The Celtics sitting back watching these two teams duke it out for the #2 seed, don’t matter either way we going back to back. 🍀🍀🍀
knicks just traded for the guy that disappeared every time the timberwolves loss a playoff game last season. notice how they didnt talk about KATS defense lol
Philly ova the knicks 😂😂 two choke artist an injury prone guys on one team averaged 30 against a hobbled team the gas’s is crazy
Yep, we're VERY worried in Boston… <yawn> What's for dinner?
ESPN sucks when it comes to 76ers talk. Complete turdz in the punchbowl.
I actually like this trade for the Knicks a lot. You don't like to see Randle and DiVincenzo go but KAT fits Brunson better offensively. I believe this move will unlock Brunson even more. Also because of the emergence of Brunson as a superstar player it changes their thought process on who to add. Brunson is now a superstar and, Towns is a star player. I also believe Mikal Bridges will return to his all NBA defensive form. OG Anunoby is the key, I don't view him as a 82 game player but if he can play 60 or more games and, be healthy for the playoffs the Knicks will be hard to beat. I also don't think the Knicks are done, they might still add another piece. As presently constructed I like their starting five and, I don't believe their bench is as thin as some people think. Deuce McBride really came on last season in a major way, I am high on Tyler Kolek even though he is a rookie, Precious Achiuwa was really good last season. The key position on the bench will be the 3 and, 5 but I actually like McBride, Kolek and, Achiuwa off the bench. If KAT is bought in I believe they can contend in the EAST
Knicks vs 76ers is a playoff series fans want
Steven A, Boston AND Philly are not the favorites. Please. Only Boston. If you don't believe me, please consult Vegas.
Idk what it is but the tone of Mollys voice when she’s yelling is akin to scratching nails on a chalkboard
Lol these talking heads always ignore context. NYK was missing their second best player for the entire series vs PHI. If NYK were healthy that's a sweep past year easy
The Luka example is off. He always walks into the season overweight and dudes gets himself into shape during the season
So nobody gonna mention Embiid must of had a diet of Crack this summer. 30 FREAKING POUNDS! 😂
Embiid was on one leg, but the Knicks were completely without Julius and Mitch for part of the series
RIP Mutombo
Did they forget the Knicks beat Philly without Julius Randle and all the offense he brings?
Guys talking like PG is a game changer. Wasn't he just on a team with Kawhi, Harden and Westbrook? What did they accomplish? What exactly did he accomplish in his career?
Bucks in 6
Atlantic division title is bout to look like the big east tournament ❤
Big Perk Says he's 6 weeks in 😂
Following that ndo champ diet huh ?…
Doing better than Phat Papi😂🎉
Do I have this right? When its embiid SAS takes into account him playing on one leg in the playoffs but when its Luka playing on one leg and taking his team to the finals it isnt taken into account?
if youre going to give Embiid credit for scoring on one leg, you have to give Mitch Robinson more credit for taking him completely out of the game until Embiid hurt Robinson on purpose

Stephen A is the fakest Knicks fan. I hate hearing him talk about my team acting like he cares. We beat Embiid without KAT last year, and now Philly is still better than us if Embiid were healthy? Logic?
So Perk says that the Knicks will have the best record in the league. Let's see how this ages throughout the season. If his predictions are anything like last year, the Knicks are in trouble 😂😂😂
they absolutely are better than the Sixers and it’s not even close
The Knicks beat the Sixers with half their roster in the playoffs last year they didn’t even have their second best player in Julius Randle
Anybody saying the Sixers are better than the Knicks because they got 1 player in Paul George who never won 💩 is goofy
Sixers are lucky if they’re top 5 seed this season they aren’t better than the magic imo
Stephen Hate Smith is a joke for real. I'm tired of dude claiming or being acknowledged as a true Knicks fan cause HE AIN'T! Nothing but an opinionated puppet given a platform to be a clown and entertain. Keep being funny my dude but miss me with being a Knicks fan though. Go claim the Nets my dude.
