Are The LA Lakers Still The NBA Championship Favorite?

nice wristband, bless up

vEvan Rachel Wood

best sound is the ball dropping through that chain. hear you on the squeak of the sneakers though.

Can you talk about the jazz

KC3

Without watching the video and a couple days later... I dont see how they cant be considered the favorite still as of now. That could def change but as of now none of the other teams have quite shown enough to over take that top spot

My Favorite Channels on All of KGworld 1. Kot4q 2. Kenny For Real 3. Kenny

Jokic is the MVP at this point. The only reason people can make against him being MVP at this moment is that his team isn't getting W's.

Any one else would love to see him cover Football as well?

The Bucks aren't winning it this year, it'll be more of the same, that coach is a cool dude but they needed to let him go, Giannis needs to learn how to play basketball, ruining and dunking hasn't won you a championship and it won't, Middleton is good but he's not good enough, giannis needs to learn how to play basketball and get alot better get some post moves it'll be the same wall that knocks them out this year again.

Nah the hawks

I wish there was a podcast version of these episodes on Spotify

BEN SIMMONS WOULDVE GUARDED LEBRON IN CRUNCH TIME

Nba commentators are always beefin with each other too I can’t be the only one who notices this

Look what happened when they put giannis on Tatum I think he just doesn’t wanna play defense like that after getting absolutely violated

The Lakers are by far the favorites still there coasting heavy while their 2 stars ease their way through and guys like THC Kuzma and Schroeder get more time to shine just goes to show how well the team is built the Nets have a good chance to get to the finals but if they don't make some trades or get some quality player on the buyout market then they'll be a disappointment Bucks look almost the same they'll have a good chance at the finals but come playoff time they'll have to find a way to play Giannis differently and change the offense a bit so as no to be predictable like the last 2 years

Keep doin these👑

Went 3/4 of the video watchin u with my headphones on when I could just been listenin🥱

Can the twolves fire Saunders

Yes. Yes they are.

Bruh im a spurs fan, and my commentators r better than these nationally televised bois

how about that clint capela triple double

What he says about nationally broadcasted games is so true. The mouth sounds are disgusting; you can hear the old man commentator moistly smack and lick his lips after every sentence. it’s disgusting.

Jersey giveaway?

Worst referee’d game I’ve ever seen. Whole crew needs to be sent to the G League.

That possession and all the late possessions shows you exactly why giannis won dpoy only because of narrative and writers don’t know basketball. Giannis is a great defender but you will never watch a game where AD doesn’t spend time against the best player. Russ, jokic, Murray, jimmy and bam are the guys AD the 7 footer spend the most time guarding in the run last year. And trust me he does that every single night when it matters most him or maybe occasionally bron will pick up the best player on the floor as a dpoy or any good to great defender should. Giannis is so overhyped defensively man

I love the way you break down the game Kenny I can’t say it enough, like you actually see what happens out there from a rational perspective and it’s so god damn refreshing. Also TTW too🔥🔥

3:24 what did he say?

As a lakers fan who has watched every single game this season, it’s been slightly concerning because they’re so bad at home. Montrezl, Schröder, Caruso, KCP, Markieff, Bron have been great (respective to their roles). Kuzma, Wes Matthews, and AD have been slightly underwhelming and Marc Gasol has been serviceable at best. The biggest concern is AD. He just hasn’t been able to get into a rhythm because Vogel doesn’t call enough plays for him. He needs to be taking at least 20 shots a game. The only thing we hate more than a bad shooter who keeps shooting, is a good shooter who stops shooting. We all had AD to be the next great lakers big man, hopefully he gets out of his slump and develops a killer mentality. They don’t need him to be MVP caliber yet, but the deeper you go into the playoffs, the more your stars need to be able to carry you through some tough games. As of now, the lakers would still not win a playoff series without Bron. AD definitely needs to be the #1 guy on this team for them to be clear cut championship contenders.

Giannis is actually the younger Antetokounmpo, being two years younger than his teammate and brother Thanasis, but he’s older than his other brothers

IM 36

Ayooo Kenny can you cover the raps abit more?

Made my day when u talked about my guy Caruso

cabs

i feel so comfortable watching this channel

lebron not even top 100 in my book

Ayooo you need to talk about the cavs !

Talk about how terrible of a coach Stan Van Gundy is and how he ruined what the Pelicans had going for them

Clarkson a streaky shooter meanwhile he is shooting 40 50 90

the refs are trash for throwing Drayton out of the game

Embiid is getting no attention from u kenny.

So frustrating being a bucks fan

How u not gonna talk about Cavs dropping off Nets twice inna row

Lakers are still favs

Can u talk about the pacers

They still are favorites i mean cavs beat nets 2 times back to back.

I think most colour commentators need to understand that you don’t have to have a “take” on everything that happens in the game

Lobe these vids, as a uk sub I appreciate the US perspective

the commentators are bad i found for every team i watched except portland. i only had like 2 weeks of the league pass so wasnt able to watch every game but its atrocious. wish i could mute only the commentators

Hey I’m new here from England, is this decent basketball content?

I’m a rockets fan and our team is decent up until they start coming back but then they just fall apart🙄🙄

Not gonna lie when I hear a former player calling a game it has to be on mute. Im sorry.

The first minute and half had me dying LOL

giannis defensive player of the league, but he doesn’t defend AD or Bron. meanwhile AD defended Giannis the whole game. SNUBBED

Kenny idk if you’ll see this but can you talk about your opinion of the heat not playing there key players and resting them?

Day 3 of telling Kenny to bring back called game merch

To be honest I don't really care who wins the championship i just want to watch the NBA so i have no fav for a championship.

love the madvillian shirt kenny

yes

Lakers in 4

The grinches in the background 🔥

9:25 lmao same happened with me and my mom. I told her how gobert would eat them up because theyre best starting shooter(ingram) was only a but better than the 4th best jazz starting shooter(o'neal) then BI went out and dropped four threes in the 1st quarter... lol

Explain to me why the Lakers had two big men on the court and coach but had just brook lopez in there. Literally Montrezl just kept getting free points

It might be bias but the Timberwolves have really good announcers

Buck bad

Another thing to add: they called Montrezl Harrell “Montrell Harris”

Let's not forget, Bucks had a chance until we saw Jrue Holiday guarding AD and Lopez guarding Bron. 🤦🏽

The refs are holding grudges against boogie and draymond they haven’t even been as emotional this year maybe I think these refs just hate them for what they’ve done in the past

The mouth sounds LOL man that has been so frickin bad

Jazz might make a playoff run since the rockets aren't there to gentleman sweep them LMAO

C web is so bad

Anyone else just now noticing how goofy Kenny’s profile picture is. 😂😂

I mean Chris Webber and Marv Albert aren't exactly the pinnacle of NBA commentators to begin with lol

yes im a knicks fan but honestly i think the knicks are a better team to watch rn. too many games recently have been so disorganized with horrible defense to many games have been going over 120 points for both teams. its not like the knicks got some crazy good defenders they just all play defense and play great team defense. it makes both teams more fun to watch.

I couldn't watch the lakers vs. bucks since the tnt overtime camera angles make me want to throw the remote at the tv

That Lebron dagger last night was wild😱

I’m still confused why connaughton was defending AD in the post

Shout out kobes 81 game

It the bucks don't make the finals this year they need to fire coach Bud

Uuhh... no

Absolute facts. Commentators can make or break a game for me. I love the warriors commentators and always find them more fun to watch (even though last game was bad because of fouls). I was trying to watch one of the heat games (because of Iggy) and just had to turn it off because the commentators were so dull.

Who’s Alice Caruso

Man when Shaq talked shit to D-Mitch i felt so bad for him, you can really tell that It hurted him, disappointed him, idk if he’s a big fan of Shaq but that definitely will have an impact on his game, for positive i believe. I also don’t know if Shaq did it for motive Donovan and prove him wrong but he could’ve said it in a better way, specially when him has been nothing but great in his career

No

@Kenny For Real dpoy and that player guarding the best player(or scorer) has always been separate. we've never really talked about it as much as we have with giannis for the stretch that we have so far. I don't remember rudy gobert guarding a scoring wing or guard at the end of the game, nor do I remember that with marc gasol. I don't remember hearing about Kawhi guarding Joel during his dpoy season. I think it's only being talked about with giannis because of the playoffs. Where jimmy scored 40 and giannis basically said, he does what coach asks. and from that game on.... giannis didn't really guard jimmy and jimmy didn't score 20 for the rest of the series. giannis is a superb help defender. Which is the role that his coach employs him with. Can giannis stay in front of some guards? yes. but what happens if he gets beat? that's right. there's not giannis level defender behind him. so when jrue holiday, pat, and middleton are guarding the scorers...it makes more sense. they are all plus defenders..and giannis is their best help defender. it just makes logical basketball sense, but when hero ball clouds so many fans judgement it makes giannis's statements and film look bad.

Finally mvp kcp moments wtf did you just say

Yes.

I dont want the lakers to win again, I want the bucks, warriors, or bulls to come out on top

This video demonstrates why football is better. sorry Kenny

The bucks aren’t a threat to begin with there’s a lot more threading teams to the lakers

I’m a grizzlies fan so I’m pretty much just hoping that one of these super teams just don’t figure it out

Defense wins championships and the nets don’t have that whatsoever nuff said

Expiration Challenge (Chris Paul’s Ring) Challenge This challenge is about using time and Kenny’s finesse to get a championship but there is a twist -Set trade difficulty to 75 and turn sim difficulty to 100 -fantasy draft -play as the warriors(pls) -Clean the team of their whole roster and picks -Acquire Chris Paul -sign free agents -finesse everybody -KEEP CHRIS PAUL Here is the twist, you have only one time each season to win a championship with that team. After a season and you don’t win a chip you have to clean your roster out again (keep your picks and CP) you must use your offseason wisely and make good trades to win a chip. Good luck, Kenny. After a long time this is what I thought of. Also, I might send you one in the mail. Thanks dude.

The draymond 2nd tech was bullshit, but to say refs blew the game is blasphemy. It was a 19 point blowout with like 30 seconds left.

Dray got ejected on some BS

Laker fans:nEts neEd 3sUpeRsTaRs to bEaT lEbRoN Also Lakers: have Anthony Davis Dennis Schroeder montrez Harrell alongside lebron

I thought I was the only one who heard them weird mouth sounds 😭

sexland winning it all

LeBron is the kinda guy to play at 10% to keep it realistic. *and still win mvp*

I am so glad I’m not the only one that was deeply grossed out and disturbed every time Marv was about to speak and the sounds 💀💀💀
