2016 Stephen A Smith: “Villanova doesn’t have a real NBA prospect on this squad”. Skip Bayless: “No, they don’t, mm-mm”. Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo are all players from that 2016 Nova squad that are now on the Knicks.

Bridges, Brunson, and DiVincenzo came off the bench for that 2016 team tbf
Daily reminder that Stephen A Smith is a clown
2016 Wildcats = 7 NBA players:
– Jalen Brunson
– Mikal Bridges
– Josh Hart
– Donte DiVincenzo
– Eric Paschall
– Ryan Arcidiacono
– Daniel Ochefu
Never give these guys a fking platform ever again
That’s an all-timer.
Biggest clown in sports
He disrespected All-Rookie 1st team member Eric Paschall
As a Nova fan, they were sort of right and sort of wrong. Divincenzo and Bridges were both young bucks off the bench. Not even Nova fans at that time thought they were future NBA players. As for Brunson and Hart, they were not expected to be as good as they ended up being. However, Brunson was a 5 star recruit freshman and Hart was a projected late first/early second round pick that year before he decided to return. So yes, Skip and Stephen were still stupid for this.
Can we use this to ban Stephen A from being a Knicks fans?
He gets 20 million to talk nonsense must be nice
Let’s be generous and admit that in 2016, Villanova didn’t have NBA-ready talent yet, hence why their players went undrafted that year.
Upvote this post until all of NY sees it.
Honestly this Knicks squad if they keep OG is even more hype than the Melo years. This could be an absolutely baller squad of guys. Imagine the stories if they win a NBA title after winning it all in college? Shit would be some legendary basketball tales of glory!
As a Michigan fan it’s somewhat comforting to know we got beat by the 2024 Knicks in that championship game.
Really need the Knicks to find Kris Jenkins and sign him to a 2 way
ITT = people can never be wrong
or this is just ez karma for Stephen A hate.
Nova Knicks
Does anyone really think SAS and Skip Bayless are spending hours every night going over scouting reports and advanced stats?
Are you guys dense or what, nba prospect = consensus opinion in this context. The consensus is they had no real nba prospects at the time. He’s not offering his personal scouting projections lmao he doesn’t even watch college ball like that.
Why do you all dig this stuff up like it’s some sort of gotcha? The man’s career is just spouting off controversial stuff
Stephen A. & Skip Bayless are the biggest tools I sports media.
Lmao
And he was right, you guys are engaging in some major revisionist history. All of the guys you mentioned DEVELOPED into nba players, only divincenzo came in with with the expectation of translating well into the game and it was TWO YEARS LATER.
I love receipts.
Why does tv from 2016 look like its from the late 90s lol
ong
THIS GUY IS A KNICKS “FAN” PLEASE, REAL KNICKS FANS DONT ALLOW HIM TO BE WITH YOU, CLOWN HIM FOREVER
NOVA SQUAD IS BACK
The real idiots are the ones tuning in to watch these guys.
Stephen L Smith strikes again
The first time I’ve seen them both agree with each other. And they’re both wrong lol.
I’m not sure if this has to be said but we don’t nor have we ever claimed SAS as a Knicks fan and we think he’s a fucking clown.
