Nuggets bet big on Murray which is questionable for having injuries frequently. Let's see if he can take them to at least another conference finals or finals.
Video on redditt of Shams and Silver. Doing Diddy things.
Nikola have to pull KD and go to OKC if he wants to win ring again, Nuggets FO did everything to stop this man winning again, Nuggets are injurie away from getting Cooper Flag.
wow, what a blockbuster episode for this podcast.. good work guys
Woj wasn’t a gambling sellout
Shams is the worst hire of ESPN
Wemby, Shams, and Ramona are so good
Christian Braun (Brown) ******
KNOW HIM
IQ contract is 162.5 M/5 yr. That is 32.5M/ yr. The other amount is for unlikely incentives.
What an amazing panel , keep the journalist ESPN
I think the Thunder are young and the organization and coaching staff have placed an emphasis on not getting ahead of themselves.
Shams slurp fest!
What an upgrade over bontimps. We should never have him for the podcast ever again with shams around
Yall think Brian hit Ramona back in the day ?👀😭
Someone in the First Take comments was shipping Windy and Ramona years ago and I never been able to let it go 😂😂😂
ive given this podcast so many chances and they spend too much time talking nonsense that nobody cares about. who tf cares about if shams is in the suburbs or in the city. talk about basketball
As a Murray fan that injury destroyed his career he hasnt been the same since. Honestly think any team hes on hes going to hinder them because he cant do what a normal person could. That injury is serious majority of people dont come back the same
I enjoy Ramona's input, here and on tv
Nuggets gon b in the play IinTournament
I can already tell ill hate Shams
Awesome episode, love the stories at the beginning!
Where is Tim Bontemps i.e. the proud St.bonaventure alum? It is a rough business. Hopefully, he has a less arrogant tone now that Woj has been let go by ESPN to get Shams.
Cause he is a top 3 best second option in the NBA complementary to the Joker just like JT and JB case or Luka and Kyrie Those two still perfect to built around for championship If Murray were to go it’ll be a complete disaster for the Nuggets He is one of the best second option in the game One of the best 4th quarter closing game player He can go for 20pts in a quarter he still a monster He surveys the game at his way unlike the great Jokic Murray still in his prime He box office They lost against the Wolves last season but Aw man he showed up lately so crazy we were shocked He can be unguardable for me he is kind of superstar rarely struggles when playing can make anyhow on anybody He is kind of Kyrie player I mean for me it’s many reason why Nuggets still need to sign him his max back fr
The actual basketball talk is at 14:40. Up until then they just talking bullcrap
We dont care about shams
These Sham's bombs just ain't hitting at all
Terrible beginning.
Everyone should keep an eye on peyton watson. The guy may be the best shot blocking wing in the NBA. If he can get his offensive game better, WATCH OUT!
I would love an episode of trades that almost happened. I love NBA History!
Oh good no bontemps, is this permanent ? Nice! Looking g forward to future Hoop Collectives now!
lol at Shams looking down at his phone
Ramona has nothing groundbreaking to say, ever
Valley represent. Reseda raised.
