D-Low dropped a Klay Thompson the other night.

Stephen A shut them all up with that final question

as a lakers fan, stephen A was cooking here.

Perk acts like he doesn't know the difference between producing in the regular season and the playoffs.

“D-Lo we need ya, the west coast savior…”

SAS has funeral home makeup on his face…….but carry on😂

It's not dlo it's the bench also the coach

I've never heard anyone on ESPN call LeBron out for not even bothering to get back on defense, but vehemently blame scapegoats 😂

He said Perk called him a pastor with that suit 😂

Thank you Perk For keeping it real

LMFAO Perkins bringing up regular season crap to defend dlo. This is genuinely hilarious.

Perk right media just snaking when the lakers got bigger issues than just one player

Honestly I actually agree with Perk 😂.... Broken clock I guess.... LeBron needs to come off the ball and let Dlo and Reeves run the offense

Thank you Perk, Stephen A just knows how to blame the scapegoat 😂

The bright side is that they are already home so they won't take to much time to clean out their lockers. DEN will end this series tonight.

A GOAT inspires teams to championships. Where’s the GOAT? 😂

This is why no one wants to play with LeBron. His PR team will throw you under the bus with no hesitation

It's just basketball. Basically I'm still good when we lose

They’ll never blame LeBron lmao

Final question made ya Think

Caitlin Clark should suit up for the Lakers

I agree with Perk, I mean the reason D-Lo shouldn't take all the heat is because he's just one player. The Lakers should still be competing outside of D-Lo. If Porter Jr. shows up with zero, I believe the Nuggets would still find a way to compete, because they are great. It boils down the Lakers being good not great

Lebron to blame that guy don't play defence his man gordon scored 29 free points in the paint.

I usually don't agree with perk, but everything he said is true and relevant. Listen to it again.. they were trying to freeze him out and scapegoat him like they did Westbrook but it didn't work. Imagine trying to thrive in an environment where they don't want you there and your teammate who is also the coach and GM trying his best to get you gone but still tries to be cool w/you to your face, that's a snake 💯

“It’s just basketball” no more “It’s more than a game”

Perk was right.......Stephen A. is just like all the others afraid to call out LBJ, AD or the Lakers organisation.

The majority of the media be too afraid to call leClown James out. But it's open season on the rest. Smh Sad

He gets some blame but not all of it. But it’s pretty clear if you’re looking to win a chip DLo wouldn’t a top 2 option on the team. And that’s based on his track record in the postseason. Regular season he’s been a very good player throughout his career. But come postseason you gotta take it to another level. But overall the blame is gonna get passed around. Front office should’ve got more depth at the center spot especially for a Jokic. Darvin Ham gotta do better with the rotations and find the lineup that’ll be more successful and stop pandering to egos. And as for the so called “🐐” he needs to be a better leader by example. Yeah he’s 39 but when the Lakers are doing well he gets all the credit. We gotta do the inverse when they catch Ls.

Biggest criticism of DLow is being inconsistent and thru out all 4 games he’s lived up to that exactly.

Yall missing dennis schroder

Never agreed with Perk before but he makes a valid point

Both have a valid point of view. One is emotional and one is business. It's a well balanced argument.

Every year, its the point guards fault. Maybe Lebrick is the problem

Sooooo we just not going to talk about Lebron getting beaten backdoor (no diddy) like 9 times by Aaron Gordon for wide-open layups?…

The starting PG and third highest paid player being trash isn’t one of the top 5 issues? Really?

I’m with perk on this one

lmao why these people pointing out lakers faults and not acknowledging nuggets greatness ?

Sas is mad he is being called out for his lame take……I thought it was “heavy is the head that wears the crown 👑 “ not “I did my part….where is my crown” 😂😂😂😂😂

DLo on indeed while the game still going is wild.

Somebody should ask Stephen if he’s ever been part of a team game. What I see is effort from D’Angelo to make things better. Don’t you think he probably understands that people will get on him for this? The people you should not want on your team is those that don’t fight, they don’t show a spine, they are just there for the money! By the way, I think Stephen is one of those people that have just been there for the money.

No. Bron and AD wasted a great DLo game in game 2. Game 3 he wasnt there but he only shot 7 shots. Not like he had 20 shots. loss was on AD and Bron. Game 4 AD came up big

I don't disagree with Perk here dLo is not the problem with this team. He was probably brought in as a spot up shooter, and now that they don't give him what he needs to succeed and scapegoat him.

Preach Perk! Bron does this also and has not been guarding all season, but ESPN doesn't talk about that

SAS lookin like a black butler for bruce wayne

The fact they don’t highlight Bron giving up all those points to Aaron Gordon is crazy😂. Had that been anybody else on the team they would have pointed it out during, after & post game

*Cold part is we have an edge. You don’t build 10-20+ pts leads if you don’t. Problem is DEN has an edge too. And when we fail to counter/adjust to theirs, theirs is greater.* DEN has no answer for our offense. What they’re doing is taking advantage of their size and mauling us on the board thus giving them more looks at the basket. These are the numbers. 280-247 FGA 145-116 TReb 38-18 Oreb We’re actually playing good D but the possession is turning empty. If you give a team 10-15+ more shots than you of course you’ll lose unless you play PERFECTLY. What’s crazy is that in a tall man’s game, Ham will religiously field a small lineup but he won’t TRY a BIG lineup. I think you could neutralize DEN rebounding if you play Hayes alongside AD and LBJ. That’s a huge front court and it’s a new ball game contending with AD or Hayes. DEN is STRATEGICALLY involving AD in the Jokic/Murray 2man game, pulling him away from the hoop. When they miss, AG is cleaning up the mess. Different ball game if you pull AD but have to jump with Hayes. I know Malone is laughing inside like these stupid mofos over there smh.

This is the most logical Stephen a I’ve had ever seen

Don’t axe him about that..

Perk on point with it, and yes those points mattered from D’Lo , he helped get them to the play in, he did his part.

Malika with the number at the end is one that no one is talking about Dlo by all means for a laker HAD A HISTORIC 3PT SHOOTING SEASON. And yet they just wanna blame Lebron

Jordan didn't loose like that until he became an owner, suck it up Lebron

Wilbon's chuckle at the pastor 😂

Dlo could go 0/10 and still get trashed less than lebron. These old heads are a sht show.

Steven A is genius in basketball analysis

You got AD and Bron on a team and still find a way to blame a role player?!

Dlo dropped 0 points as a starter in a game that was a must win. Yes there were other things that played a factor in losing but Dlo not being consistent as a third option is the most glaring one

I sure wouldn’t want it to be a case where D’Lo going through some personal drama etc … Somethings are bigger than the game or even our jobs.

perk not knowing what he's talking about

“You’re gonna have moments as a role player!” Boy, Big Perk was COOKIN’ this segment!!! Gahhhhhdamn!!!! Sheesh! 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Imagine blaming a role player for a failure of a series. Only on a lebum led team.

DLo hasn’t had just a moment…he’s had MOMENTS. That’s the problem. But there is no single finger that should be pointed. There are several: LBJ - Lack of aggression in second half. Darvon H. - No coaching adjustments. Spencer - Absolutely zero production. Bench - Unreliable if AD or LBJ are on the bench.

ESPN, Your videos are fantastic! I just had to subscribe!

Does Steven A realise lakers wouldn’t have made the play in if not for russell

Jokic's style of play allows everyone around him to be at their best, Lebron doesn't. No players other than spot up shooters have been at their best playing next to Lebron, because they're always forced to sacrifice their strengths and cater to Lebron's strengths.

The so called king getting beat 11 times straight by one team is perfect 😂😂😂 4 out of 10 is close to perfect 😂

Dlo deserves heat after his performance but i think it's being exaggerated. the entire bench has been heavily underproducing and darvin ham isn't making great adjustments. lebrons defense has also been suspect the first three games but you can't expect much from a 40 year old

SAS’s final question definitely had Wilbon and Perk thinking.

Michael Wilbon is WILD for this, LeBron led the league in 4th quarter points this year how are you going to say he’s not all there in the 4th

Perk right, this on Lebron

Imagine hearing “Well if Paxton shows up tonight the Bulls can win”😂 The dude took 7 shots. 7. Pretending he’s the reason they lost is absurd. He barely has the ball in his hand because Lebron runs point.

Will they present LeBron with a golden broom tonight😜

I wasn't a big Lebron James fan and the way he handled going to Miami. Over the years after I became I big fan of his. I didn't like his comment about "it's just basketball." That's like me saying as a Licensed Private Investigator. "Hey it's just Investigations." 😅😂 your passion is your passion especially if you became a billionaire doing it! No one would know Lebron if it wasn't for "it's just basketball"

Perk is spitting facts! 💯

It's hard for him to produce when he don't really have the ball like they do.

LeFlop was and is never the guy to axe that question! He's perfect in every category and deserves to be on the best team lol

I was so happy last week. Guess who I ran into at a public tennis court? JaVale McGee! Boy, did he humble me? I was I was tall until I stood next to Javale.

lol when Molly talks they end the video lol

These networks really won't let you call out LeBron smh. Perk had to subliminally call him out by saying it's cool when "they" do it smh

How about the Lakers just can't beat the Nuggets.............

Crazy how every team Lebron plays on when they win It’s Lebron but when they lose it’s all his other teammates

Look, they need something from whoever steps on the court. You can’t give empty minutes in the playoffs

D'Lo cannot be alone blamed for the series loss. It is a team loss. Vando's, C Wood, Reddish, injurywere big. Vando and Reddish defensively were important. And C Wood can stretch the floor and could have helped with rebounding when AD was on bench. Sure D'Lo if he was more consistent could have helped too. But Rui, Reeves also were not consistent. Neither Gabe, Spencer, Hayes were. Even coaching played a role. Coach Ham could have been better in rotations, play calling and timeouts. Rob pelinka with not getting shooters around lebron and AD. D'lo should not be blamed like the fans are trying. He tried, did not work out. Only sad part is that Lebron and AD played most part of the season and a high level and this year got wasted.

I agree with SA on Russell! Bro is not that dude, pure and simple

Perk not making sense

D-Low could drop 40 and Lebron would get the credit.

I really like the contribution by laker as team not individual will done game 5 something and them will have serious

Russell had 0 points and y’all to want to blame Lebron? He had a good game. Sometimes it is bron fault but this ain’t it. And Nuggets is just a better team.

5:05-5:10 Perk raised his voice and SAS was like,hold up bro,u sound like u wanna fight

Dlo is starting PG so I think it’s fair to expect something of him other than a big fat doughnut. However, despite how up and down he’s played, he’s been the 3rd best Laker in this series which is ridiculous. Everyone else has played worse, Reeves only showed up in garbage time in meaningless minutes last game and that was it. Rui blowing open layups and fouling, Vincent and Dinwidie not being able to hit a shot. It’s the whole squad not just 1 guy, it’s also horrible coaching from Ham and then LeBron getting too tired, chucking up stupid shots at the wrong time with the rest of the Lakers and crucial turnovers. Those are the problems, plus Denver being such a cool calm and collected team that nothing phases them and they’re never out of the game. It’s all those things before you get to Dlo. I’m glad he showed up today, though at this rate he’s probably gonna have 5 points tomorrow haha so we’ll see but the other things are bigger issues and more relevant to the series before you get to him

Guest some people don't see that the nuggets are defending the 3pt line which takes away D'Angelo to be left open. Watch the second half you see

Y'all can't have a both way. D Russel is an important piece to win

Perk quoting Finesse2tymes is hilarious

Another double standard.. don't forget in the 17-18 season with Luke Walton when they had that young roster and couldn't seem to get it together, LeBron sat at the end of the bench and isolated himself and completely disconnected himself from the team to make it appear as if their struggles or problems had absolutely nothing to do with him. Nobody said anything about that. They obviously shut D-lo down for the night at that point and y'all mad he didn't join the huddle after that? Why would he??

It’s crazy how the bench never catches heat….. the past 3 games the bench only scored about 15 points throughout the last 3 games

What is Kendrick talking about ...

So, is D-Lo the team lead now?

Michael Wilbon is a legend but his Lakers takes don’t have any substance.

The thing is, DLo didn't really forget how to shoot on game 3, LA forgot how to play him best. During the 2nd half of the season, they realized that in order for DLo to be him, he needs to have his touches because he gets his rhythm off the dribble. If y'all watched game 3, DLo became a catch and shoot guy, and a number of those 7 attempts came from getting a pass and chucking the ball in the last seconds of their shot clock. That's not how you play your 3rd option. Look at this game, DLo got his touches especially in the first quarter. What happened? He turned into DLo. But sure, blame DLo for everything. Frank Vogel and Russ aren't in the team to be scapegoated anymore.

Wow! I never see this side of Perk when they talking about the Golden State 😂

Stephen A Smith: Annie, are you OK?
