Stephen A. RIPS the Knicks for passing on Tyrese Haliburton for Obi Toppin | NBA Countdown



Former Golden State Warriors GM Bob Myers discusses the regret he has for passing on Tyrese Haliburton in the 2020 NBA Draft, but Stephen A. Smith says he can forgive Bob because GSW has Stephen Curry. Stephen A. then goes on a rant about how the New York Knicks should’ve taken the now Indiana Pacers PG over the likes of Obi Toppin.

  1. where was this energy the last 3 years SaS?, i love how everyone rips a team for not drafting the right person only after that player starts going off

  2. To my grave I will not forget screaming at the TV to take Hali. I still can’t believe he fell so far in the draft

  3. But im glad Sacramento trade him so he can blossom. I dont know what would happen if him and fox are on the same team.

  4. Can we crawl before we walk please with the Knicks? Let's just be happy after so many bad years we have young solid players with depth and all our draft picks with a healthy salary cap. Last year we were happy with brunson, now it's we screwed up we didn't get Mitchell or haliburton. Never even heard of him until this year. We will get there, we know this is not the time yet.

  5. Who knows if he would have been this great with another team? He wasn't this great when he started. He's in the right system now, that's why he's playing really well. I think people are even saying the Hali-Sabonis trade was very good for both players and both teams, because they each landed players who are now balling for them.

  6. Stephen A. Smith should at least be happy the Knicks got to the quarterfinals. They did good in the in-season tournament. They beat the Heat eliminating them. I think they need to trade Mitchell Robinson for Deandre Ayton. They need a big man who can get double-doubles.

  7. I hate when Stephen A does this. Jalen Brunson is a star. Be grateful for what you have and stop crying bro. Knicks can build around Brunson the same way the pacers can build around Haliburton. Cry cry cry Stephen A

  8. This is why Skip can’t see Stephen A 🤷🏿‍♂️ this is why! Skip so Fn arrogant, he couldn’t do a crossover Show that includes Charles Barkley! This is why FIRST TAKE HAS BEEN #1. Cause the LEADER of the show has Endless, genuine RELATIONSHIPS 👌🏿 . Take notes SKIP!

  9. "What if", I hate when folks suddenly act like they "knew" who would be great or even good players in the draft, any draft. Especially when they were screaming for someone else totally different anyway. Also situations and environment matter. Dude please.

  10. Thankfully the Knicks did not draft him. If they did, I doubt they would be able to develop him.
