Mad dog is skip long lost brother
Mad dog is right.
Molly😅😅❤😅😅 shut up girl 😂❤❤❤
Dame would be a good fit in Miami they need a 3rd man
Mad dog looks like the fonz from happy bdays and sounds like Gilbert Godfrey when he yells loud lol am I right?
Cj is dull and can't speak his mind because he's the head of players organization.
Lol I love when Mad Dog brings up players from the 60s. It just irks SAS so much.
Dogggggyyyyyyyy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 took over the show
CJ not used to the yelling.
Dame needs to go to Boston, and Boston needs Dame.
I think Maddog thinks that because he’s yelling very annoyingly, that he’s actually saying something
The media is trying to force dolla out I love dame because his stands on what his stands for…there trying to write his story…bro do your thang u are my favorite player bro I love u
No team will ever love Lillard like they do in Portland. You gotta live there to understand
Mad Dogg funny af wit his delusional takes 😂😂😂😂
mannnnnnnnnnn i luvvvvvv MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD DOOOOOOOOOOOOG!!! HE NEEDS A SHOOOOOOW!!!!
Doggy was on point 💯🔥😂😂😂
Dame 💲 to LALs (via trade)
AR, Rui, D-LO to POR ⭐️🟣
Never felt bad for Dame. I grew up in the 80s and admired 90s players like the highlight film,rainman,Reggie Lewis, KJ & many others! I live next to the Lloyd Center and have realized that he has made a name for himself long ago. Whether he leaves or stays, he is a legend in all cities that he has been apart of! Bottom line. I wave at people just like he did 2 OKC because of how badass it was. 💯 it’s there for the greatest ending 🪣
At some point and time, end of the day, SAS needs to realize that the knickerbockers are not that team! Portland gets no love from the talking heads. The knicks have hoop dreams, one year it’s Lin, whatever years later it’s randle and Barrett another year it’s some guard that had a good late run
You ain't You ain't going anywhere! 😭
2 days ago Stephan A called jokic a tubb of lard hows that tub of lard going now ,where the other tubb of lard Perkins
Mad dog is always mad😂😂😂
The white guy deserves to be on fox not espn. His fuckn voice is annoying 😂
As a native Portlandian, I'm glad that a bloviating slug like Stephen A**hole has no plans to move here🖕
Molly makes me sick
Stephen A is the top glazer.
Stephen A was lit during this segment 🥃
This was one of the BEST SEGMENTS in FIRST TAKE HISTORY. HILARIOUS. INFORMATIVE. MAD DOG AND STEPHEN A. HAD ME CLOSE TO TEARS LAUGHING. GREAT JOB, GUYS!!!
Dame, CJ Zion
Stephen A yelling about the Blazers last championship in 77 but when were the knicks last on top?
"What makes you think the grass is gonna be greener on the other side?"
Portland had 2 chances but they settled for Sam Bowie and Greg Oden.
SAS making such arguments on ESPN is really not good. He practically says Blazers have no chance ever, cause no one is coming to Portland. What's his point? Just delete half of the organizations from the league? That's disrespectful. Takes like that are part of the reason why smaller market teams have hard time keepin up
Who DA FUK is that discount Skip Payless FUKstick on the right?
Molly was looking like a Kardashian today
It’s hard to win a championship imo he can go and try somewhere else but I don’t think it’s gonna be a cakewalk he not bron. Imagine him leaving Portland after he wanted to be so loyal for years and not winning. He takes these max deals so they can’t really build around him. The grass is always greener somewhere but the sun don’t always shine. He wants to get out so just be straight up and ask out enuff said
I hate it when people say”I won’t feel sorry for Dame anymore” he didn’t want your sympathy anyway 😂 this is a grown man making his own decisions yet other grown men so concerned about his legacy but real ones love Dame.
