Only thing Russ will do is shoot bricks shots
I think Zion Williamson goes crazy this year. That’s my bold prediction.
Out of all these young hoopers, Ja my boi 🏀
Westbrook gettin his flowers 💯
good call on cleveland
Can’t wait for ja to remind y’all how good of a player he is
this was a feel good video. go mavs tho!
Mad Dog knows basketball like Stephen A. Knows MMA. These clowns are entertaining.
Orlando going to hurt some feeling this year fr
This is the best debate they had so far, proper debate lol
GRIZZLIES WINNING THE NBA FINALS THIS YEAR JA AND EDEY THE NEW KOBE AND SHAQ
LETS GO MOLLY with the Miami love
If anything Orlando is gonna take a leap more likely. They are a very young team, no worries of land management like the older teams.
Ain’t no way SAS said Russel WestBRICK is gonna help Denver 😂
How about Spurs and Pistons making the play-in for bold predictions?
Perk is Not letting anyone talk after his “point “
Hi eveyone ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bucks in 6
Didn't like Westbrooks game, as much as everyone else, cause he never really played winning basketball in his prime at least, but he is definitely a legend and such a good guy that i want him to win a NBA championship so bad.
Problem is ain't nobody beating Boston in a 7 game series.
Molly looking amazing as usual! 😍
The bucks not being anywhere on the title odds is insane. What has Joel embiid done to make people think he and the sixers should be higher than the bucks? Bucks blew the backs out of the celtics last season twice at home, and only lost by 3 both times on the road and one of the times Giannis didn't even play. Wolves got worse with Randle, and the Knicks are the knicks it's not happening.
Russel?
SAS knows NOTHING about basketball 😂
JA is about to dominate
The heat are not a playoff team they overachieved now back to reality can’t wait until Boston New York Knick them (win by 30)
Denver Nuggets. Joker won the silver Olympics by himself.
An had the whole USA team down 20 points.
Mad Dog is the Temu Skip Bayless 😂
Ja 4 Mvp. Lets go Grizz✊🏾🐻
Grizzles and hornets 🤪🤪🤪🤪
I guess the only issue is will he get himself banned again.
Nothing on the Mavs…?
denver’s championship window is closed man 😂
NUGGETS are gon be number 1 in the west this year.
Pelicans
Those title odds are horrific to say the least
You are right on that Steve on the Nuggets .
Stephen A Smith saying the nuggets will go to the finals because of Russell Westbrook just shows how casual this man is 😂😂😂😂😂 oh my! Yeah, it’s Time to move on from hoops talk boss! RUSSELL WESTBROOK???????? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Only thing Ja will be shooting is his piece, hopefully he gets suspended again
OKC gets no respect lmao
To be fair when Miami is healthy playoff time they have given the Celtics the hardest time in the playoffs
