Skip was at his blowhard best just like I knew he would be.

[spurspokesman]

Skip is wagon hopping on our spurs wagon lol

Skip was right pointing out Stephen A not giving Duncan enough credit. You win 5 championships you need good coaches AND players. Stephen A likes to paint Duncan as useless without Pop. I think Stephen A is mad because Kobe, much more than Duncan, needs a good coach to be successful

[Uriel]

Both agree that the Spurs are the favorite to win it all next season. That's all you really need to know.

Thank you. I closed the window as soon as I read your post.

Stephen A. Smith is a bigot. He only likes black players with a perceived urban edge to them. He's an utter joke and ESPN is a joke because of him.

He defended Deandre for his stunt. He said he was ok with him changing his mind. Now imagine if that was a white player doing that to a team, we all know he would be in an uproar about it.

Yeah, didn't this guy have a meltdown after the Spurs lost 4 regular season games and said the Kings would beat them?

Stephen A is awful, but he had Duncan as top 5 all-time IIRC..

I like Skip Bayless, but I can't believe this show is so popular, tbh..its so bad..

He has meltdowns throughout the year . He should be a poster on Spurstalk, tbh.

I think it's funny how everyone proclaims Duncan for being lucky to have Pop for so long.

Kobe Bryant had three of the best big men in the world, and one of the 3 best coaches in NBA history. They ALL left him.

Is that some sort of bizarre cosmic coincidence? No. That's just Kobe being Kobe. People can't stand him, so they leave. Pretty ing simple.

Kobe is the instrument of his own destruction.

Well said.

You know ESPN programming is bad when PTI is a "respected" show, tbh..

The only watchable show on ESPN is Highly Questionable, and that's because they don't focus on sports..

[steeledl]

Funny that everyone s on ESPN shows but still watch them.....

Guilty. Will watch First Take sometimes if a team I follow did something significant(win/trade/league decision on player or team) the day before. Won't watch anything else though.

100% agree. Kobe (was it last year?) sent out the spin which Stephen A and others have jumped on that he was jealous of the Spurs for having the consistency in the organization that the Lakers lacked, the underline point being Tim somehow had an advantage he didn't. Stephen A even went on to say Kobe had had a better career than Duncan because he overcame adversity. Adversity that is all self-created. People seem to forget that when Phil left the first time it was in large part to being burnt out from dealing with Kobe whom he called "uncoachable" in his book. And Kobe couldn't work with Rudy T another coach who has won multiple rings.

He pushed away Shaq and Howard, ended any chances at LMA with the whole "You can be my Pau Gasol" line, and never came to the real Pau Gasol's defense when the Lakers were misusing him under D'Antoni.

And I know Skip is a Spurs fan, but somehow his jumping off and on the bandwagon continuously annoys me.

stump the schwab tho

[spurs1990]

I never understood how a Spurs fan cannot be entertained when Bayless sings high praise of YOUR team.

It takes self deprecation to a whole new level.
