Kyrie is more of a Batman and Luka is the Superman both are dangerous in their style of play😂

“He’s not from Mississippi…”😂😂😂

[@kingjames3937]

34:11 this dude is making absolute no sense regarding best player. Jokic is a 2 time MVP, reigning Finals MVP. He is the best player until he is knocked off the throne.

[@tj8072]

Jokic is hands down, if he was an American player it wouldn't be a discussion

[@coreyorr80]

Keep balls alive 😂

[@tj8072]

Points aren't the only stat that's recorded, 15 pts, 7 assists, 6 rebound, 2 steals, 1 block, ain't killing with that logic but most teams will sign up for that for a 6th man

[@gonnabecold]

Get that Knicks jersey ready!

[@spenserwrye1420]

They forget about internal growth. I think Kuminga is ready to take on a bigger role if he works on his 3 or mid game they could easily let the warriors run it back and let klay and draymond be more of the support than stars. Also if Wiggins game returns to the championship year they can be dangerous

[@cmn225]

Wiggins is a bust and Klay fell off they're the weakest links imo they gotta go...or trade Wiggins & bench Klay

[@SavagEcks]

Jay doesn't understand math it's killing me 😭

[@user-uk5zi3wf2g]

Why is everybody so high on the lakers like Denver aint 8-0 against them yhe last 8 games?? They were a 9th seed for a reason all yr. And AD and bron been healthy

[@cecilflores8450]

I’m an AI fan. But AI over Dwade is a huge stretch

[@cmn225]

AI with a ring would be the 3rd greatest SG over D Wade...Wade won his with Shaq & Bron who were the 2nd & 3rd best players on the '00-'01 Sixers? Ratliff & Mutombo?

[@TheGlobalForce]

Not a stretch at all. Stop it. 😂

Paul let your co-host speak. Otherwise, just do the show by yourself . Stop cutting him off all the time it is giving me a headache and is frustrating because I think he has something very intelligent to say, but you will not let him speak.

As a lifelong Spurs fan. I hated Tou and your Celtics team. I HATED that you got Kobe’s ring and Kobe’s finals mvp. I dont think people recognize you enough for that. Paul Pierce beat kobe in a 7 game series dude.

[@cmn225]

as a Spurs fan why would you be rooting for the Lakers?

Aye truth ur man's crazy how is it any different for the lakers than the warriors? Thr lakers have less stars and OLDER lebron? U sure he a coach lol

Just listening now, Paul was wrong on everything

[@AmadaiusLaBette]

Is that some hookah. Aw naw

[@spenserwrye1420]

Also how is Lakers lineup better than Nuggets? Joker and Murray are different than LeBron and AD so obviously the teammates have to fill different roles for the team to succeed and based on recent history Nuggets team are better at winning

[@marcelthomas216]

I can’t tell you how much I disagree with Paul’s friend.

[@leoulyismashewa1535]

If lakers start Jaxson Hayes they’ll win the series: Starting 5 Jxsn Hayes AD Bron Rui AR/dlo

[@DavidCubie1]

ur in denial

[@cmn225]

@@DavidCubie1delusional is a better word...Jokic would COOK Hayes

[@leoulyismashewa1535]

Ad would be guarding joker as a helper, Jaxson Hayes has no problem of fouling out cause he’s not that important offensively.

Nice....but who would be j. Hayes backup?
