[@UndisputedOnFS1]

Does Kyrie's trade demand signal the departure of LeBron James next offseason?

[@SagarSekh]

Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED The Toronto Raptors are heading to the NBA Finals in 2018, with a decent chance to steal a championship against a depleted and beaten down Warriors team.

[@CraziBigShow]

Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED skiiiiiiup

[@CraziBigShow]

Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED BECAWWWH HERES THE THANG

[@lukedarren2399]

Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED Of course it does. The King is definitely gonna take his talents to either LA or San Antonio next year.

[@bryanpotter3882]

Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED kyrie Irving should play 1 more year with lebron James then he can leave

[@damonharrison8409]

Damn that Robin reference was on point lol.

[@AllLove0307]

Damon Harrison man wasn't it?

[@damonharrison8409]

lol it was tho. I was like damn...its true.

[@ShaqTown]

Damon Harrison Well they did announce a Nightwing movie lol

[@CarcalV]

Love shannon's analogies

[@khayatian]

Nobody wants to see a solo Robin movie...box office flop.

[@Potato_Coma]

His 2k rating was the last straw.

[@COLTRINGS]

😂😂

[@MarlyMarlPodcast]

SLEAZYRENZI What was Kyrie's rating on 2K17?

[@Potato_Coma]

MICMarlonInCHRIST 90

[@draieway1342]

SLEAZYRENZI thats about right though great offense player who doesnt play defense or make players better

[@F430FORME]

LOLOL!!!! Facts!

[@healthcare234]

Shannon: Tell me the time they've made a movie about Robin, by himself. well damn, Kyrie is now Nightwing

[@AllLove0307]

Man he put it in perspective with that one!

[@Dominic078]

Time/Space he’s red hood

[@MrGrownman455]

LOL NO Kyrie is not Robin. Kyrie is 100 times. better. He is better than Curry to me.

[@mkingadiffernce]

Kyrie is not better then Curry - We seen that this year in the championship. Curry has made a leap that Kyrie has not made which is passing the ball and getting your teammates involved and rebounding the ball. Kyrie does none of those things. I use to believe that kyrie was better too intill this series and I noticed that Curry stepped his game up because he started passing and rebounding more and getting other teammates involved because he knew he could score anytime which to me separates a star from a superstar. Kyrie is a star in the league - Curry is a superstar. Big difference!

[@mvdwraptor7983]

Yup few more years and his movie is out.

[@qbangamerr5871]

Kyrie wants to be the Big Baller on a team

[@SavageStayTrapN]

ZO2 Slides Aye whats up

[@Xanninja]

on a below .500 team

[@dthorn809]

ZO2 Slides he needs to stay in his lane

[@G14able]

If that was so he could have put up with LeBron one more season and then become MR. Cavs. I believe he wants to leave Cleveland before LeBron does so that the expectation for him to deliver will be less.

[@asieduy]

Kyrie had a higher usage rate than Lebron and averaged one more shot per game. You can't blame Lebron for Kyrie wanting out.

[@w3x8m2173]

Kay Stone Kyrie is a better scorer....

[@derrickjones783]

WTF Shannon is being objective about lebron is this a fake video.

[@pamion2805]

Derrick Jones ctfu

[@dbstewart86]

Derrick Jones Relative to how he usually is definitely. I was actually surprised.

[@chiefsolo6013]

Haven't watched but Skip will say that Kyrie saved LeBron vs the Warriors.

[@unguidedreaper7763]

And you think that's wrong? LeBron has a history of choking in the Finals. Here's the short version, Spurs, Mavs, Spurs, Warriors and Warriors again. I'm not saying LBJ isn't great. He's a top 10 all-time.

[@unguidedreaper7763]

[@ethiopianpride8732]

Because he did. Lebron was 0-4 in the last 4 or so minutes and the warriors were bricking good looks for a few possessions.

[@chiefsolo6013]

Unguided Reaper All you mentioned was his finals losses, that doesn't mean he was choking, by your logic Magic choked 4 times because he lost 4 times and so did Kareem.

[@travis675]

I agree with Shannon Irving wants accolades

[@ianosaurus27]

Travis Evans Uncle Drew already has a Ring. MVP also sounds good to him.

[@joiri9498]

That went well😂

[@cazmiller605]

3:40 STOP IT JOY! 💀💀

[@vulgarkiwi4223]

Caz Miller sounded more like Jew lmao

[@davidhammy_]

Any Cavs fan that actually live in Cleveland will really appreciate what Kyrie and LeBron did and appreciate how much that championship meant, like that was probably the greatest day of my life and I just get chills every time I see the block and the shot

[@capadzcabrera]

David Hamilton if Kyrie does end up leaving, and fans start burning jerseys again, then it would officially make the cleveland fans the most pathetic fans out there. Kyrie gave this city a championship, or was part of it. So even if he leaves, they can't be bitter about it.

[@davidhammy_]

Any REAL fans won't be bitter

[@capadzcabrera]

David Hamilton exactly.

[@Geo-qh8ej]

Yea I don't live in Cleveland but I was born and raised still live here in columbus

[@FootballManagerTaraz]

Yep, Cleveland is actually small industrial town who is preveleged to have own franchise teams in NBA, MLB etc.

[@andrewkennedy6929]

For once I agree with skip about one thing. Lebron did seem satisfied with losing because he averaged a triple double. He pretty much said "I did my part" and didn't mean losing

[@victorpetrescu6586]

Sacramento King He didn't quite seem satisfied. But, it seems like someone who left it all out on the floor. I still agree that he didn't look quite of shook from losing another finals as you'd expect.

[@colonelgibbs8357]

Victor Petrescu he did what he could

[@michaelsimpsonjr11]

How is this Lebrons fault kyrie wants his own show Lebron didn't drive him out he even said at the end of game 5 we will be back so how is it Lebrons fault

[@michaelsimpsonjr11]

Kyrie just want his own show that's all I think it's a mistake cuz he was the man in Cleveland before Lebron was there and the team was terrible and the teams he chose SAS and Minnesota he won't be the man so he going to end up in New York or miami

[@str8duval]

Phillip Hotaran skip has always been a psychic somehow being able to tell other players emotions and intentions without ever speaking to them

[@Heelturn_45]

Michael Simpson Maybe because they cant make any moves due to LeBron. The Cavs are so high on the luxury tax why? Because LeBron demanded TT & JR a max contract. Pushed out Wiggins because he belived K Love was better. Fired Blatt because LeBrons long time friend Ty could coach the team better.. Cavs did everything LeBron wanted because they feared he might leave once again. They wanted to make LeBron feel comfortable and actually treat him like a King. When Kyrie agreed on a new contract with the Cavs they promised him to run the team around Kyrie, few days later LeBron decides to return & Kyrie becomes a side kick, then LeBron has the guts to say is Kyries team yet they make moves to please LeBron.

[@JoJo-oc8zf]

RNIC 45 You know lebron was building to stop the warriors without Durant

[@cbock1836]

Michael Simpson he was 22 and injury prone before Lebron came

[@yomammasboo713]

Just patiently waiting for CoLin Cowherd to call LeBron out on being a bad teammate driving away his second best player like he does with Westbrook.😶

[@klassic718]

Yo Mammas Boo untrue

[@johnnypierre5793]

Colin gonna blame Kyrie

[@blaneries8925]

YoRodney Colin saying something bad about lebron that does not sound like something he would say

[@afrogarou]

Westbrook drove away KD, his *Best* player, by jacking up too many inefficient shots. Lebron "drove" away his *2nd Best* player by passing too much? Being too efficient? Kyrie wants to be the man. These aren't comparable situations.

[@workprofessional3092]

Kyrie is tired of playing with lebron, lebron's not a good teammate he always has the ball in his hands and steals all the shine from his teammates cause the media has hyped him up to be the next great when really he's a overrated stat stuffer with a losing percentage against the best teams

[@averagegoslingenthusiast2033]

Shannon explained Kyries decision better than ANYONE else. Props Shannon

[@ryuji3111]

Joy is one fine bihhh

[@afrogarou]

Kyrie doesn't want to lose in the finals anymore, he just wants to lose earlier in the playoffs/not make it to the finals. On Any relevant team in the west he wouldn't be *The* star player so not much would change. He's proven he can't carry a team. He's not Westbrook.

[@malikjames9035]

Nicholas Williams To be fair he was not the player he is now in those first couple years so we won't know unless he's traded to a mid or low level teir team

[@ChickenScratchComedy]

Nicholas Williams Westbrook couldn't have done what he's done this year 4 years ago. Kyrie is no Westbrook...

[@gnicevids]

Malik James yes and he still can't carry a team

[@afrogarou]

Malik James Kyrie spent 4 years in the lottery. In a weaker conference.

[@afrogarou]

ChickenScratchComedy i agree, I'm saying Kyrie even now isn't going to do anything in the west like Westbrook did.

[@workprofessional3092]

Kyrie is leaving to join Big Baller Brand BBB , he must of told lebron he aint no big baller with a losing record in the finals!

[@str8duval]

Straight Up Comedy Subscribe for more Kyrie has a losing finals record also

[@angelotownsend213]

Straight Up Comedy Subscribe for more LeBron join the big baller brand next season

[@ginos5119]

Thanks for all your hard work everyone! Love all 3 of You!

[@aloziechibueze337]

Shannon killed this at 1:48, absolutely incredible

[@ghostfvce2151]

Why did Shannon look up stats on *NSYNC record sales tho 😂

[@andyrondo2630]

Best skips speech I've ever heard in my life that's the best one

[@lax398]

Kyrie knew Bron was gon leave anyway, so he tryna get in on the ground floor somewhere else where he can be a star

[@hdtekstil]

Good points Shannon !

[@philipbanks4713]

Cant wait for kyrie to ditch LeHelp and light it up with whiteside and dion waiters down in miami

[@going_downtown]

SKIEEEP!! When ever i see shannon, I can hear him yelling that and i start lol'ing

[@profmo]

Great assessment, Shannon!!!!!!!!!

[@joshwoodby539]

Shannon nailed it on this one!! I kept thinking the same thing that the trade talks sealed the deal for Kyrie because Kyrie thought he was untouchable and though LeBron liked him good enough to not entertain any offers or campaign for trades involving Kyrie! Kyrie is leaving because of everything Shannon said ..I think skip is over thinking this because it was not announced until after this trade talk stuff ..if he was so disgruntled after the post season then why wait till after trade talks ??

[@thomarscarter]

Kyrie do what best for you homie so if leaving Cleveland is best for you do it make your self happy homie & i know there are some cavs fans that will still love you no matter what

[@mightygentlemen2764]

Kobe 100% influenced Kyrie to leave, that way LeBron would have less of a shot at winning another championship. Kobe cares that the majority of the public say LeBron is a better player/already has a better career than him.

[@bjorn112707]

Well said Shannon......

[@squatch5758]

I agree w/ Skip

[@jacobfarley247]

Get off ur burner skip

[@joeygrant9398]

Thank you Shannon your right for once

[@ixparadimeix92]

I agree with Shannon 🐾

[@pumpy7001]

Did we just get a Kyrie Irving nightwing analogy? 😂😂

[@ThePettiestLA]

This whole convo could have been summed up by Michael Rapport IG video lol

[@athanasiacolumbus1171]

Love Shannon Sharp....Realist Sports Reporter out there....

[@mike191SF]

Skip is really championing the Steve Wynn look these days.......

[@josephkatosh]

At some point in time Skip 😂

[@genisis5060]

I love the way Shannon compares kyrie's situation to completely different things. He'ste perfec guy for this talk show

[@dimokatabe7763]

Stop it Joy. ..oh Shannon 😂😂😂

[@willhaslem]

This music reminds me of the sound of a jug getting filled up to the top.

[@saucedupwill]

Kyrie for Damian Lillard??

[@potcomadman011]

Will Trill TV please tell me why the blazers would do that

[@SaltyMugen]

Warriors winning anyway, so all these trades, rumours are pointless when you think about it. Golden State is laughing hard at the rest of the NBA.

[@davidlenis7215]

Tomodachi spurs might have something to say about that

[@CBrown]

It's been mentioned. I think this heavily stems from the fact that the Cavs are far too focused on LeBron. How many times have you heard it since the finals ended: "What do the Cavs need to do to keep LeBron happy"? What about Kyrie? I'm sure Kyrie is just as frustrated as LeBron about not having a team built around HIS playstyle. As it is, they are building the Cavs to suit what LeBron can do rather than Kyrie and that seems to still be the idea. If I'm Kyrie, I'm frustrated by that too. When you add in the fact that they were willing to trade Kyrie, I'm sure he doesn't feel like he's needed there. Wanted? Sure but not needed and every guy wants to feel needed, especially when you're one of the top players in the league. They should trade him. He's going to leave anyway and at this point it's not going to be healthy. You might as well get what you can from him now than risk the kind of implosion that egos can create on the floor. Kyrie is good enough that you can get most superstars that aren't Warriors, Russ, AD, Harden, or Kawhi.

[@LelandBWorking]

I love Shannons references. You can tell he watches and remembers EVERYTHING on TV

[@kahlil7735]

Did she just say she liked "Dunkirk" the song? LMAO ah man

[@ReconSmurfling]

LeBron gone play with a BIG BALLER point guard soon.

[@jeffrey8893]

Decided to check this out after all the Kyrie drama 4 years later

[@bulldogsny]

They are making a nightwing movie so close enough lol

[@lebarbosa9778]

NOW LEBRON REALLY NEEDS A PLAYMAKER.

[@MarioGomez-gg3oy]

How's Shannon not gonna include my boy Harry Styles?

[@ShaqTown]

Mario Gomez Skip did lol

[@Lil_Libra]

Mario Gomez harry styles? Zayn left first 😂

[@MarioGomez-gg3oy]

Alexus Miller see but. H is the JT of 1D

[@zaaraasad3292]

Mario Gomez Zayn is better

[@angelotownsend213]

Mario Gomez zayn left first

[@jamiedyett2625]

how could shannon forget zayn leaving 1D 🙄😂

[@brobro34343]

Dunkirk was lit

[@richkelly802]

Remember he went to Boston and had that turn out

[@grandhomme84]

Shannon Sharpe is a beast. One of the top commentators on T.V.

[@Brehon_TalkingFinance]

Boy Bands! LMAO!! Movie about Robin!! LMAO!

[@highvoltagemedia7150]

Heyyyy Skip went to see Dunkirk! Nolan appeals to EVERYONE apparently haha

[@briansmith1981]

There actually was a movie made about "Robin" by himself

[@Icecube88]

they did clash from the start. from the tip... pause

[@cjman444]

I don't want Justin Timberlake to mix with the NBA in any way, but Shannon, that was nice bruh.

[@cliffpaul3889]

I don't get these guys. You win and you can always get signed and be loved. If Kyrie leaves to have his own team and they don't win, which is a good chance because he doesn't make his teammates better, he can easily end up moving around the league a lot like A.I. And that ruins your legacy...

[@waynetaylor3895]

Kyrie will be good if you watch some basketball. If you build around him, get players that doesn't dominate the ball. Basically a team like Kobe had. Perhaps if the Pelicans trade Cousins for Kyrie that would be ideal for him having Anthony Davis down low. Kyrie is for real. He proved LeBron that the earth is flat indeed and doesn't revolve around LeBron.

[@DwayneChess]

Cliff Paul what is there not to get? Poor Scottie was such a dynamic player over his career and had a monster year without MJ yet you still have people who are dismissive of him. Athletes reek of ambition so you will always have guys who don't want to stand beside the guy

[@mr.dought4723]

James with D Rose still a dangerous team on the east :)

[@altruistic3276]

If he had the knicks on his trade list couple years ago, why did he choose the nets over them in free agency? 🤔

[@matthewcrane5294]

Cause it isn’t a few years ago? Tf

[@supreme9677]

Warriors are Home watching this & eating Popcorn & laughing..

[@Ehap_movement]

Has anyone ever seen this girl speak without moving the papers in front of her?

[@user-zs9iq7sd5m]

Thumbs down loud music at the end

[@brianagugoesi6081]

Kyrie doesn't want to deal with LeBron, his legion of fans on his social media, etc.

[@fer41013279]

kyrie want to be the main guy of a team but wants to go to spurs(kawhi's team) and T-wolves(big 3)...his best place would be the heat

[@ferisalgue]

Batgirl is getting a movie.... Robin's in it....

[@ferisalgue]

just a comment on secondary characters not getting the spotlight.

[@chrisconnor5418]

shannon just subtly dropping NSYNC album sales numbers in reference to Justin Timberlake analogy.... STRAIGHT KNOWLEDGE

[@lilpeepvevo5028]

He should team up with dangelo Russell in Brooklyn

[@2toneSB]

Joy😍😍😍

[@nanagyambibi7426]

Kyrie is in a tough situation. I don't think this is about being the 1st option because he technically is since LeBron is more so the facilitator. I think this is more about LeBron leaving and this team not being very good after and also how the Warriors dismantled them in the finals has something to do with it as well. This roster can't get any better since LeBron had Tristan Thompson and JR Smith overpaid(my opinion)

[@a1berto_alejandro722]

I like he mention Robin

[@brandonmuse5532]

I like that. There is no Movie about Robin. Lol!!😎

[@MarioGomez-gg3oy]

Ayeee!! Skip a Styles fan😂 disregard my last comment

[@xavierc5340]

lowkey a robin/nightwing movie wouldnt be a bad idea though

[@dorianwright6854]

You can't blame Kyrie. James has too much control. Stifling. Go before James tries to leave you there with a garbage roster. Go and shine.

[@Hashirazdhj]

Robin stars in that cartoon network show

[@gagndipsingh5340]

Lebron Haters love this and know have a mother reason to hate him!!

[@michaelbrice5169]

There's a Nightwing movie in production now lol. Sorry to nerd up the comments

[@ClutchBoywonder]

Nightwing coming out Shannon Sharpe Just Wait on It #RobonForLife lol

[@mambagoat2494]

Just started watching it but I somehow fell skip will mention the shot ray Allen did

[@wacoled]

3:37 stay in yo Lane!

[@borninthe8044]

The king got some Queen in him. Skip you so wrong.

[@windcloud4508]

and people talk about how no one wants to play with kobe, "everyone wants to play with lebron cuz this guy makes everyone better" -Thank you Kyrie

[@Psych86_]

Before all of this lebron said he wasn't leaving, yet here we are

[@flightclubnat]

Lebron tried his best to take this man under his wing. As crazy as it may sound he doesn't want that. When your great for some reason it rubs people the wrong way. I remember seeing a video where Lebron called Kyrie his "young god" on the plane during the regular season.

[@shadowguy20004]

Shannon is right... There NEEDS to be a Robin movie! Make it happen DC Comics ;)

[@jennieredrose5819]

I'm not agreeing with Skip on this one. I still think it's a ploy to put fire under Gilbert. He wants to Make Gilbert get them another star. He knows if he stays with LeBron, its basically an automatic trip to the Finals. Where else can he go where it would be an AUTOMATIC trip to the finals? Definitely no where on the West!

[@ralphthompson355]

So Skip says he disagreed with Shannon's conclusion, then proceeded to validate Shannon's point. And no, Lebron wasn't satisfied after losing, but he (like everyone else) knew the Warriors NEEDED to form an Olympic All-star team in order to beat him.

[@malcolmboy21]

He literally said Kyrie feels like a sidekick. It don't matter if he's Nightwing, Redhood or Robin he's a damn sidekick for Batman and he don't have a solo movie. Stop trying to be correct the point was made.

[@JusRed23]

Shannon: Tell me the time they've made a movie about Robin. We got Nightwing comin' Shannon. Don't worry.

[@los4984]

Wym shannon robin is the leader of the teen titans man 🤣🤣

[@Aj6711]

2 years later shannon was rite skip wrong again as Usual

[@larrylove7088]

damn joy looks good

[@rianeagan2693]

I think it's good that he might leave it will make regular season interesting but see the thing is nobody can still beat the Warriors roster wise

[@wolfievondon9896]

I'm not blaming LeBron completely on this but he did play a factor. If you are one of the best NBA players in the world, but say things like "I'm frustrated with how we looking" or asking for trades, don't be surprised when your teammates try to leave too, even if you stay. If you don't have faith in your team, you're not going to win much. Too many trades last year killed them and their chemistry. Kyle did okay, Deron did little to none, JR did okay, Kyrie disappeared but came back. Y'all should be grateful y all beat them once to break the streak. The Warriors stayed the same for a few years, so their chemistry was cool. I don't blame Kyrie for leaving, honestly I want to see how he do on his own

[@shanam9016]

This is kd and Westbrook all over again
