Stephen A. Smith: “Jokic isn’t known for having some kind of dominant post game. It’s not his game”. JJ Redick responds: “Stephen A., we have got 10 years of tracking data. You know what the most efficient half court play is? In 10 years? A Nikola Jokic post-up.”

After all this SAS, trying to defend his point, said Jokic’s game reminded him more of McHale. As if McHale wasn’t one of the best post players of all time himself…
SAS is the dumbest man alive
SAS please stop
SAS is such a clown.
Boom
Wtf is he talking about. The man eats in the post. He just doesn’t live there. But if you need a player that can post up, Jokic is about as good as it gets.
Just give this dumb motherfucker Tucker Carlson’s primetime spot on FOX where he belongs and be done with him
I hate ESPN sucks they have national broadcasting rights
??? McHale was a great post player
To his credit, he does say he stands corrected by the end. He could see the subtweets coming already 😂
I think what Stephen A meant to say is that Jokic does not dunk the ball.
This show is just pure trash 🗑️
Stats don’t tell the full story tho Embiid way more dominant
I don’t even understand how you could think this? Watch a few games and it’s clear he’s one of the best post scorers ever? What are we even doing here man Jesus
This is a supposed analyst covering the NBA finals. This man has not watched a single Nuggets game in his life.
Does Stephen A have Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia?
There was a point in time when SAS was actually good at covering the NBA…but it’s probably been 20 years.
You know JJ had that arrow in his quiver just waiting for SAS to show his ass.
ESPN is a laughing stock joke
Destroying SAS with Facts and Logic! God espn is trash
The real question is whether he can jump onto a curb
SAS has to just shitpost at this point
JJ has been dunking on SAS ever since he’s been on First Take. if he isn’t careful, he might get Max Kellerman’d
He has to be trolling for clicks like usual. The last thing anyone wants to be a part of is a Jokic post up lmao
I like the little, quiet “I stand corrected” at the end after the camera was off him.
Just embarrassing.
What a brain dead take. Shaq had a dominant post up game, so did McHale. Just because one’s involved dominant athleticism and more dunking, doesn’t mean it was better than the other. They’re both styles of efficient post play.
I can’t believe first take still gets posted and commented on here
SAS is an idiot and the most obnoxious person in sports. I pray that he retires soon
Perkins and Stephen Are a giant joke.These guys are haters all the way…ANd even with it shoved in there face have a hard time saying anything positive about jOkic .I positively hate them.ESPN assembles all the worst most biased guys to do there shows.
Jokic is the best post player in the league. The reason that DPOY centers like AD and Gobert aren’t reliable 1 on 1 against him is because of his strength in the post
Why is Stephen A even allowed to be involved
These morons like him and Perk will do literally anything to avoid giving Jokic props. They’re just inventing shit out of thin air now because he keeps proving them wrong lol
SAS is a hack who loves the sound of his own voice
I love the “I stand corrected” after all that, lol!
Man. JJ comes so fucking prepared. He will definitely make a good coach or front office executive.
How on earth is this post 96% upvoted? It’s already been perfectly well-established that SAS is an ignorant blowhard, we don’t need more evidence. He should just be ignored.
SAS speaks from the ego, not the brain
Great time to watch some McHale highlights. Dude was a monster on the block
I’m glad we have settled the “eye test” vs stats debate on Jokic since this finals run has made it obvious all the people talking about the “eye test” over the past 3 years have never fucking seen him play.
It’s well known that he doesn’t watch basketball
Yikes Stephen A, what an awful take.
Get wrecked
Maybe what Stephen A meant is that jokic is more finesse, rather than bully ball
He’s literally just saying he’s a white guy who doesn’t break the backboard with a big ass dunk. I’m so over any mainstream take on Jokic or the Nuggets. This is stupid as fuck lol.
Smith is like Skip. They just say dumb shit in hopes nobody has knowledge on the subject.
They’re the Kardashian show of sports. Couple one two clowns.
I don’t think SAS quite grasps what qualifies as a post-up move lmao
The immediate reaction faces by the two actual professional basketball players, lmao.
“He isn’t known as a dominant post player”
“He reminds me more of a Mchale”
My guy pick one, Mchale is considered one of the best post players literally ever.
It’s almost as if SAS spews meaningless hot take garbage for ratings
