I admire how Max tries to be unbiased. We know he is a Lebron fan but is just stating facts.

WHY IS THIS STILL A SHOW, ESPN?
It’s been obvious for months now that Stephen A has ZERO respect for anything that comes out of Max’s mouth lately…and who actually enjoys watching Stephen A and Perk just pile on Max every last episode, even when they’re completely wrong?!?!?! – which happens more often than they’re right, by quite a large margin.
Split up Max and Stephen A. Let their individual factions separate and move on from this poison in peace. Drop Perkins and his worthless takes and stupid metaphors from ESPN altogether. And as for Molly, who cares what happens to her? She adds nothing but the occasional interruption to the show.
It’s actually frustrating watching the show nowadays…the drama factor is more annoying than actually compelling.
It was a good run in the post-Skip Bayless era, but now it’s time for ESPN to shift to the post-Stephen A Smith era, and let in some fresh, less easily disgruntled and bitter analyst come in.

Stephen A was just loud and asked for help from Perk who had the same lousy argument. He made an ad hominem argument because Max’s position was spot on. ????????????

watch chris paul on old man and the three saying yall dummies if you think lenron slowing down because it aint happening anytime soon. i remember last year in nba restart lebrom was playing really bad and people were saying that but when playoff time happened we all know what he did.
