Stephen A Smith Sparks A Huge Knicks Fan Debate! | Jalen Brunson or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander?

Worst take let’s get to worst take man and for worst take we want you guys to send us as we ramp up for each next weekly if there’s a bad take out there whether it’s you know somebody from the major Network said something ridiculous or or your homies in the group chat are

Whing out over at Nick tape send it to us on social media or email us kftv Medi gmail.com and we will react to the best ones on the edition of worst take all right all right Al so the first one up is our Guy Stephen A Smith and he was on first

Take earlier this week and he was asked about Jaylen Brunson versus Shay gilis Alexander let’s hear what Stephen A had to say on uh on such things here we go it’s been Sensational Jaylen Brun has been Sensational as a native New York and a Die Hard Knicks fan I’m so

Thankful and grateful for the greatness that he’s put on display I think he’s been 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 alexanda 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 37.5% 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 all right Al is that a good take or the worst take I think it’s a worst take talk about it

How many times do we have to watch Jaylen Brunson not have his guy his his running mate out there Julius Randall and and still go out there and win and still maintain fourth in the Eastern Conference I’m looking at OKC and this is not to discredit what SGA has done

For that team SGA has been averaging 30 he did it last season to SGA is a talent but are we also going to ignore the addition of Chad hren to this rotation are we also going to ignore that Jaylen Williams has stepped up to being that secondary score for this team are we

Also going to ignore Isaiah Joe the other Jaylen Williams coming off the bench are we going to ignore L Dort and what he does for this team it just seems like like when we talk about SGA and as great as he is he is that dude he is the

Guy that makes that team run without him they’re not in the position that they are no doubt about it but they also need the rest of those guys on that team to stay in contention okay even gidy gives you some games here and there yeah so

They have a stacked roster the Nicks are deep team but I wouldn’t put them without Julius Randall a fully stacked roster whereas like I’m looking when I look at that Thunder team I could say you know what Jaylen Williams he could probably go be his own guy on his own

Team chck can go be his own guy on his own team SGA is the guy on his team how many guys outside of Brunson right now can you say this guy could be the guy on his own team without Julius because Julius showed us the first year he won

Most improved was an All-Star all NBA he could be a guy to lead the team and and and take you you know to get that good position for the playoffs Brunson shown that but you don’t have your guy who else is it Dante I don’t see Dante being

A guy that can run his own team I don’t see Josh Hart being a guy that could run his own team these guys are great role players but you need Jaylen Brunson to be that engine that keeps this car moving so I give Brunson that edge

Because he’s had to do more with less than SGA on this season but what do you think I got to go the other way man oh I got to go the other way as much as I would like to say this is a worst take candidate I think it’s actually a good

Take I I think it is a good take by Stephen a um I mean if you look at the two players side by side comparison SGA SGA uh is going to take Brunson man both guys have played relatively the same amount of games you had SGA at 68 Brunson at

65 uh SGA 30 points per game Brunson 27 SGA five rebounds big a guard Brunson three uh relatively same in assist per game now what I would say SGA where he’s a little bit different than Brunson he’s not the three-point shooter that Brunson is right he not 3.2

Shooting 37% from three Brun is shooting 30 but SGA gets his buckets a little bit differently because he is a mid-range assassin in his own right how about this they played roughly the same amount of games Jaylen fronts and now 30 plus point games this season

27 how much you think Shay has that I mean he’s averaging 30 CP how many how many 30 plus point games 50 50 50 that that’s not all if you go to the advanced numbers he’s clearing them from V to box plus minus you talking about play efficiency rating I mean s he’s

He’s clar and Brunson in a lot of these stats especially the advanced stats um true shooting percentage 64% to 58% uh like I said the player efficiency rating 30 for sgaa 22 for Brunson win shares 14 for SGA 8.7 for Brunson I mentioned the

Vorb 6.8 to 4.3 I mean these are MV MVP type numbers like legit MVP type numbers not like you know you deserve to be in the conversation like these are legit legit MVP type numbers here um from SGA as compared to Brunson I think they are comparable players like in a crunchtime

Scenario who am I looking for I think it’s a tossup you know I love Brunson in crunch time SJ statistically has shown that uh he’s one of the best clutch players in the sport but I think you can literally toss it up I but I think SGA clears him he’s a

Better Defender I think he’s a better playmaker and the advanced numbers show that in terms of impact who’s more impactful for their team I’m I’m G to give it to SGA and I think that’s why he’s a legitimate uh MVP candidate whereas Brunson is in the conversation but SGA can legitimately

Win it and then on top of that I mean you take your team from 10th in the west to the best in the west yes there’s a lot of a lot of guys deserve that credit like you said jet for sure Chad for sure especially defensively and as a

Rebounder he’s helped them Jaylen Williams star you know in the making I still think it SGA is he’s he’s the straw for that entire thing man he’s the straw for that entire thing I I gota give it a SGA man this is you know it’s uh it’s not like we’re not like we’re

Arguing SGA or Trey or SGA or or somebody else you know it’s not like we’re it I think both these guys are more than qualified for the award I hear what you’re saying I would just say this to you CP I’ve seen SGA average 30 last

Year and be a playing Team yeah I’ve seen where Brunton has Hades even though he doesn’t have to do that just the gravity it’s him just by himself changes the Dynamics of what this team is and for a guy like Jaylen Brunson to not be stopped by any play any team last year

Okay he went through the Cavs Miami didn’t have an answer for him we just heard heard uh Mike Brown talk about how he got the Steph Curry treatment this year and you know blitzing him and making sure you make him uncomfortable but that didn’t stop him against the

Sacramento Kings this is a guy that doesn’t get waiver that still gets to his spots wherever he wants to no one can stop his game and I think when you think about that type of aspect to a player yeah you can go to the numbers what you give to SGA but for Jaylen

Brunson he’s doing stuff that just by the eye test Alone says this guy’s a dog this guy you got to respect this guy is just Unstoppable and yes SGA is also Unstoppable but when I look at the impact that he’s made on a team not only

For his own team here on the New York Knicks for two seasons in a row think about what happened when he when luku was out in that first round of the playoffs it was him that took down helped that take down to take down the Utah Jazz and that’s got to be accounted

For as well because this is sga’s first time first time being a guy that is leading his team to the playoffs not play in playoffs and we still have to see what he do does in the playoffs I get the MVP a regular season award I

Guess that I get that is the measurement I’m not saying SJ is buns I’m not saying SJ is that he’s more than like more than worthy to be in this conversation but I’m going to go with my guy Jaylen Brunson because to do it again where you’re now still you were fifth last

Year now you’re fourth this year you’re maintaining and this is a guy that just takes it to another level in the playoffs I’m g go my guy shout out guy Anthony pariso in the chat he says let’s take a look at the clutch numbers so in

The clutch right now you look at season totals and clutch being defined as you know game being within five points or less within the final five minutes of a game uh SGA ninth in clutch points with 98 boy Steph Curry 176 clutch points this year crazy wow Demar D rozan 166

Wait how many clutch points is Steph Curry this year 176 bro and how are they still in the play right right right so in total clutch points uh SGA in ninth overall with 98 I think Brunson is about 24th with 72 clutch points Bron was like a top five clutch player last

Year if you go to um averages these are totals per game in the clutch you have uh SGA is 16th with 3.2 points per game in the clutch and then Brun Bron is where’s Brunson at 20th so sga’s 16th brunson’s 20th with uh looks like 2

Point no Brunson is 2.8 points per game or 3.0 points per game in the clutch SGA 3.2 SJ shooting 61% from the field in the clutch Brunson 46 s 36% from three in the clutch Brunson 26 this year let’s take a look at where it was last

Year just for uh ish and Giggles I know Brunson was way up there if you go to points per game last year in the clutch Brunson was at he was eighth in the league with four points per game in the clutch SGA was 19th with 3.4 Brunson

Was shooting last year 50% 51% from the clutch 37 from three SGA 38% 25 from three so almost reverse numbers between this year and last year between the two guys in in the clutch interesting very interesting indeed man but what do you guys think of the chat

Man Brunson or SGA what do you what you make of uh Stephen A’s take was it a good take was it a worst take leave us a comment in the comment section and we will respond to it uh as we go along man
