On First Take, Stephen A. Smith, Tim Legler and Shannon Sharpe join Molly Qerim to talk through who has the most pressure in the Western Conference. Legler thinks both Luka Doncic and Kevin Durant have the most pressure, which caused Stephen A. to verbally gasp before he places James Harden’s name on the list.

As a mavs fan i agree with what you said. I feel like theres definitely pressure on the clips cause of all the talent they got rn but if anything james is feeling a lot of it. Like you said kawhi is proven and unless he stinks it up then he’ll be fine, pg will get the bag either way this goes this summer, but hardens career resting on this series right here to me. This is his 4th team in what 5 years, no conference finals appearances for him since 2018 rockets. Huge pressures on his shoulders and hopefully we have a great back and forth series

I actually agree that Luka should be under considerable pressure. This is the best team that he's ever had, they're more or less healthy, and Luka himself is coming off of the best season of his career. I understand that he's still young, but he's already one of the 5 best players in the league and there are certain expectations that's laid upon players of that caliber. Plus the Clippers are the team that knocked him out of the 1st rd twice in the past and that kind of history should add to the pressure as well. While I'm not sure that Luka is under THE most pressure to win the title, I think he should be feeling his fair share of it right now.

If anybody on the clippers, it is Paul George. Kawhi has been best on championship team. Harden and Russ have MVPs that have them top 75 all time. PG has none of that yet and unlike Harden and Russ, he is not as near to the end of their career as those two. He needs to play a pivotal role in a championship to put his name up there. He has never been to a championship and his closest MVP finish was in OKC with a great season, but he needs more.

Man, KD escapes criticism like no other. If Bron was on the Suns instead of him, it would be hell to pay from the media. Also, just because you feel one player is under more pressure doesn’t discredit someone else’s list. For me, it’s KD, Kawhi, PG, Harden and Jokic. Luka is just outside that list, particularly with Brunson playing the way he is.

I disagree that Luka has pressure going into the playoffs. The Mavs are 2 months into finally having a competent supporting cast. If they don’t win the championship, no one is going to look poorly on him, they are just going to say “Luka is only 25. Watch out for the Mavs next season after they make the finishing touches and have a full training camp”. KD has pressure and imo Tatum has more pressure than Luka. After being the clear fav for the season, if Tatum falls to win a championship with the team he has, people are going to say “He’s just not that guy”, “He can’t be a #1 and win you a title”, etc
