DID I STUTTER!? 🚨 Stephen A. calls out Shannon Sharpe for Wolves-Nuggets pick 👀 | First Take

do you actually think that the uh uh OKC Thunder is going to make it all the way to the Western Conference do you think they fear the OKC Thunder having home court really this might be the weakest this might be the weakest number one seed in the in the in the NBA that's very disrespectful shanon that's very disrespectful give me the weakest number the weakest number one Oklahoma City by sh gild Alexander thep behind there breath like simac quick take let's get it all right the Hofer this one's coming to you uh you had that hot take about the thunder now they've swept the Pelicans from sh Shay have you had a change of heart no I mean I saw a guy sitting on the bench with a varsity jacket on named Zion Williamson did they have him did we see what Zion looked like well I mean they had him on the bench yeah and nice outfits did you see what he looked like before he got injured against the Lakers they probably would they probably would have had to see the Lakers look they played extremely well but I don't think anybody thought the Pelicans was going to put up much of resistance without Zion Williamson give them credit they're playing extremely well we know what Shay is because hey he's in the MVP conversation he's probably going to finish second or third you got my V you got your vote you wasted it but you was was just because you don't win it don't mean you're wasted the vote it's going to be a race you it ain't going to be no race did you see what y did last night I understand that okay I understand that let me let me say this to you about Zion I want to give Zion some love I was very very proud of him and how he played against the Lakers the game he got injured second game the first playing game the brother showed up that's all you need to see that Zion Williamson if he shows up New Orleans got a future but I could rub it in considering the way the Pelicans tried to come at me yeah when I when I pointed out how you got as many playoff series wins as names in the last 22 years right and then you going to show up and get swept you couldn't win him one game one game I could get on them it I'mma Let It Go I'm let you know cuz I'm a nice guy I'm a nice guy am I a nice guy tell Roan I'm a nice guy I'm a nice guy I'm a nice guy and not only that Zion is that dude right when healthy so I'mma leave him alone leave it alone I'mma leave it alone Shannon it's time to make some pix sir let's go we know your record with betting on the show it's a little suspect so I'm going to give you a moment to gather your thoughts in and take your time okay we do we going to save the tape I just want you to know okay sh I know uh who do you have winning are you going t-wolves or nuggets I'm I'm under the impression oh my God that Jamal Mur C oh oh my Lord I mean we got to stop the pressence ladies and gentlemen America Shannon sharp is tap dancing dancing L we just we he just did a segment about Pingas and and if he's not healthy they're not get it okay all I'm saying is Jamal Murray now he does have five days off to get that Cal is healthy I'm going to take the Nuggets three best players over the Minnesota Timberwolves three best players okay and so with that being said I believe it's going to be a long series I I believe it's going to be six it's going to be seven games I'm going to take the Nuggets I'm taking the Nuggets because I believe Ant-Man and Jamal Muran play to a standstill Carl Anthony to is going to have to have the the the series of life because Nicole yic is the real deal he he's going to make minc meat of Rudy Gober oh man you talk uh great pan djon mustard all over the place Stephen A bring your napkin go make a mess of it I'm just let you know now I'm just telling you I would not be surprised if you have the first NBA playoff 30310 a triple double with 303s you heard it here first Shannon Sha you're not wrong you just stuttered before you became that's what the hell happened okay you stuttered I'm not accustomed to seeing sh sh stutter like that simple and plain if Jamal Murray is healthy Denver wins this series in seven games if he ain't they lose they're not be see I I said I didn't stutter I didn't say you were wrong I mean Molly like what you know what I was like what we not accustom from sh not sh Shay I mean you know oo s going to get on you about that right you know he going to sit up there you know he going to agree with me you know when you go to Club sh and you you sitting on night cap and you're talking to oo oo gonna be like this yo my man Stephen A was correct you you was studed we you don't do that you just did it on National Television it's very fluid and simple Jamal Murray's healthy Denver wins in seven okay Jamal Murray's not healthy they out Minnesota winning this series Anthony Edwards averaged 31.6 points per game last year in the playoffs they lost in five but he averaged over 31 he averaged 26 and 48% shooting against them this year although he's only shot 23% for a three-point range I'm seeing a better three-point shooter in this playoffs than I saw from Anthony Edwards in the regular season then I saw from him last year in the playoffs if that brother is hitting threes oh we got a problem because again Jeff Brown and Bruce uh Bruce Brown Jeff brown brown Jeff Green I'm sorry Jeff and Bruce Brown they're not being there your bench being depleted you're Denver going up against the sizable Minnesota T they got size I understand what joic does because he's joic did you know that Rudy go shoots 61% when guarded by yic yeah 61 do you do you understand that I'm I'm saying to you be somewhat formidable somewhat they seem to have figured out how to keep Rudy go on the floor call Anthony towns I understand everybody talking about well cat well you know what he need to stop shooting those those those junk shots those thre no you don't when that brother spots up now I don't want him shoot you know going off the dribble trying to pull up I don't want him with his back to the basket and not going to the hole and try to shoot a fallway but if you if the brother is set up where he's set and you feeding the basketball and he's open for his set shot I'm sorry that's money you take that shot you take I'm looking at NAS Reed I'm looking at Alexander Walker Off the Bench I'm looking at the experience of Cony Jun M Cony ain't going to get rattled old Savvy veteran been in these moments before he ain't going to get rattled by the moment of going against the re defending Champions and I'm looking at it from that standpoint and if it comes down to Edwards which is what I hope Shay oh I hope this I want oh my God back I'm just I'm just oh my Lord because I know Jamal Murray is gonna respond to the challenge if he's healthy I know Aron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr the brother has elevated oh my Lord he's special he's so special I'm looking at them if Anthony Edwards looks like he did against the Suns oh my Lord it it I'm thinking Jordan I'm thinking Kobe I'm thinking stuff like that janon yeah I think they gonna probably start with Casey start with kcp on him and if you look at Minnesota they got McDaniels they got uh uh Walker Alexander to try to to try to slow down Murray right because I'm not I'm not putting Ant-Man on him to use up all that energy because I need that offensively now here's here the here's where the Minnesota has the advantage is with cat on Gordon now this is a situation where cat probably should post up more because 7 foot versus 69ine here's my problem with what you just said Gordon's a touch shorter yeah he ain't thinner no he's that's a rock that's a rock man you say and so and so again if you trying to post him up you know this better your lower center of gravity now that gets attacked cuz I got to chop you down the sides and Gordon is capable of doing that with call Anthony towns to the basket I'm saying you should attack to the basket you should attack the basket but not with your back to the basket go off the dribble face him take it to the hole or pull up you can do that if you're called Anthony towns he's gifted the only reason we got lost in the source about how gifted Carl Anthony town is is because Carl Anthony Town's being a consant professional that he is not giv enough credit for that said yo I see what the hell I got here in Ant-Man I know my position this brother is something special for us to behold let us all stand back and enjoy this show that is the only reason why we haven't been talking more about Carl Anthony towns this is going to be a series yo this is going to be a series man I might fly to Minnesota I might go to Minnesota bro I you I ain't one from Minnesota I'm not from Minnesota but but but the people treat me great and and and and and they got a magnificent Four Seasons Hotel and on top of all this series is going I think this series is going to be special I might have to call my boy a Roden and you know we we I have sh up in Minnesota [Music]
