One of the funniest 5 minutes of First Take ever 😂

[@Bluhake]

NAH ong¹¹😭😭😭😭. Lmaoooo. Stephen A lowkey was second guessed himself😂. If Bron does do it. Stephen A would have to give it to em lol.

[@Zenigundam]

The funniest had to be the time Skip Bayless was disrespecting Jalen Rose, talking to him like he was a nobody when he played in the NBA, which caused Jalen to create Water Pistol Pete Jr.

[@fcarter3863]

​@@BluhakeJimmy Butler led an 8th seed to the finals just last year. MJ or Lebron never did that. It doesn't make Butler better than them. But nobody glazes Jimmy Butler like they do Lebron.
