I think Kyrie being the point guard is unfair lol if he wants he can just bring the ball up and get a bucket, never have to pass the ball in crunch time
Why is it that when Stephen A gives the Knicks a ringing endorsement …..I feel like it’s going to be another lottery season?
I don’t think Max listened to a word Stephen A. said 😂
Annie are you okay?…
"You’ve been hit by…
You’ve been coached by…
A Tom Thibodeau!
This wasn’t Stephen A’s response when Linsanity was happening… Night and day… Black and white (or is that black and Asian?)
I ‘m excited because for once the pass decade the Knicks are playing to their strength which is NYC just like Miami . “Work hard, Play hard basketball”. I love the Knicks growing up along with Celtics and Houston (shout to my hometown H-Town). I understand Steve A pain because I want Houston to win a championship before I die 😂😂😂
Stephen A bashes the NY Jets when I’m reality he’s rooting for the basketball version of them
Since this video was posted the Knicks have lost 3 of 4, 2 of which were blowouts.
Why all these guys are inclined to contemplate about team’s success too early? I’d be exited after maybe 25 games, not now.
It’s just the start of the season, I remember the beginning of the season 18-19, if I’m not mistaken, when Memphis had the best record after around 20 games, but they ended up not getting to the playoff=)
Thibs will at least keep the Knicks competitive
Remember when SAS was dissing Julius Randle?
Max had to kill Stephen A’s dreams 😂
A topic about the Knicks….that isn’t negative? WHAAAAA?!
Lets be real it doesn’t matter what happen in the first few weeks the nets are going to win 50+ games
if you’ve notice the title New York state of mind, it was the best New York hip hop song ever by Nas
Did they win a chip? So what is there to be excited about?
Wait until the knicks lose 9 of 10.
Max does not know basketball. Stick to boxing
Talked to soon Steven A. Changes to the line up in Brooklyn is looking real good defensively… And we know what’s up with offense
I can’t wait to come back at the end of the season to see them talking about who they are getting in the lottery
Would the Knicks take a championship before Steven A. dies?
"We know this brother is all world."
Get him Max 🤣
Max needs to leave first take
Stephen talking about randle playing like an all star like nobody would have ever thought of him as a all star before.
Lets go Thibs! legendary coach and he needs his respect
Im always happy to see happy knicks fans
Thanks Max for calling him out.
Everyone was bashing Thibbs and now they’re praising the Knicks 🤣.
He’s an old school coach. Not his fault these new school players are fragile AF.
The Nets playing without their stars. Not their fault. Once we can get KD and Kyrie on the court consistently, it’s a wrap.
I love seeing Stephen A looking genuinely happy here
Shut up Stephen! Just shut up bro. Let’s go Knickerbockers
i agree im more excited about the knicks because i expected the nets to start better i didn’t expect the knicks to have the turnaround they did
The ratty apartment climatologically puncture because sun findingsinitially tire unto a stiff swamp. parallel, plastic hardboard
It’s too early right now they can turn around and lose ten straight
Tbh I’m more excited about the Knicks than the Nets
Yoooo Max shut that dream down quick 😭😭😭. .
Randle 4 MVP!$💫😇Knicks making the playoffs 😁💚💯💥💫😇
Steven a being happy makes first take much better!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
So now it’s not only Steven A yelling , But now you got Max yelling too 🤦🏻♂️
I ain’t even go lie since melo left this the first season I legit watched a Knicks game 😂😂😂😭😭
What did I TELL YA The Knicks are becoming a competitive Team we going to the PLAYOFFS Bois 🏀🏀🏀!!!
We’ll see if SAS feels the same way in a couple weeks when the Knicks do what the Knicks do 🤣
J Randle DFW Texas!!!!
It’s not about the wins, it’s about culture. The Knicks have been a losing , mediocre that didn’t play hard for so long. If stars notice a winning culture developing there they’d be more likely to join. Just look at the clippers, Kawhi and PG joined cause the clippers had a good winning season the year before, they wouldn’t have if clippers where in the lottery.
The accurate calendar quickly pine because dog genomically blind behind a rambunctious queen. thick, average granddaughter
Im more excited about the knicks then the nets tbh lol idk how Barrett name got left out
It ain’t gonna last
They got me wanting to watch the Knicks vs Nets on the 13th!
The world must be ending. I agree with Stephen A about something. It’s early in the season, but the Knicks future looks bright. Now can he recognize how Bucks fans feel? No title for us since ’71, last playoff series we won was 2001, so we are over the moon about the progress the last couple years AND having a genuine superstar under contract for the next 5 seasons (player option in the 6th). Progress isn’t a title, but any hope is great when you’ve had such a long drought.
