Rather have nba on tnt than espn they really think another player is more important than another both guys are equally important to the teams

First take needs a shake up… Props to Max Kellerman but I think for the First Take to become watchable again we need guys like in TNT… Have Stephen A Smith as the host and surround him with 3 all time great NBA (even WNBA) retired players… the show will immediately improve… Also Max with his own show is MUCH MUCH BETTER…

First Take is more than just basketball. They talk football, baseball and boxing as well

@Jerome Marshall You’re right… That’s why I don’t have them even top 3 basketball show… I don’t know the level they have as a sports show when it comes to American football and baseball because I’m not American and I have no idea from these sports… But when it comes to basketball… I wonder if they are as unexciting for small market teams in American football as they are for the NBA…

@Jason Barnes its different for football. They will talk about more teams in football but a 3rd of its on Cowboys

A top 15-20 player in the finals is more important then a top 3-5 player in the league 🆗🆒👍🏽 SAS on another world

@banneddimer KD, Giannis, Steph, Kawhi, LeBron, Jokic, Embiid, AD, Harden, Dame, PG, Luka, Tatum, Kyrie taking all those guys before Book and I might even include Trae in there

Devin Booker has to be on attack mode in game 4. Show the bucks who’s the boss and make them get the best of both worlds

I absolutely agree with Max, Giannis needs a guy who’s on his level and unfortunately Middleton and Holiday are just not there

I don’t understand SAS take on Booker…he played the exact same way against the Clippers…awful FG% in 5 of the 6 games and his only efficient game was in the close out game…That’s who Book is, a volume scorer and no where near Giannis in efficiency and consistency.

If Giannis could develop a mid-range game, he would be terrifying.

Stephen A is always so eager to highlight Giannis’ shortcomings. This is legit hater behavior
badass ass

booker can be injured and suns still have a chance imagine bucks without giannis in the finals

3-0 in last 3 playoff games without Giannis…Brook Lopez is A TON better when Freak doesn’t play

Booker is so overrated, he was awful in clippers series and same in the finals

They talked about Giannis for 2 secs, the hate is crazy on Giannis.

So the player with back-to-back 40 point games isn’t more important..?
