🐐 YOUR GOAT COULD NEVA! 🐐 Shannon Sharpe & Stephen A.’s HEATED Lakers debate | First Take

the West Side the Los Angeles Lakers won

their season finale Sunday but suffered

a potential blow in the process when

Center Anthony Davis left the game with

a back spasm the Lakers secured the

number eight seed in the west with the

win to set up a rematch with the seven

seated Pelicans in a playe game on

Tuesday these matchups are going to be

phenomenal Davis said after the game

he's optimistic the injury will not

sideline him meanwhile Steph and the

Warriors are trying to uh will their way

to the playoffs after an up and down

year they'll have to go through rival

sack ramento kings in the plan Tuesday

the kings are headed to the plan with

one thing on their mind revenge on the

Warriors who knocked them out of the

first round last

year to the Hofer we go Shannon will la

and Golden State get out of the play in

what do you think yes uh I believe they

do um the Lakers have look very very

well the last the last week of this last

two weeks of the season and they've

looked really well against the Pelicans

remember in the playin tournament you

thought not play excuse me the End

season tournament you thought that was

an anomaly M when they beat him by 45

had them down by 32 yesterday see

yesterday LeBron James reminded me of my

grandmother on Fourth Sunday dinner she

made sure everybody ate first and then

she sat down and got her plate you see

what he did 13 assists in the first half

everybody hey ruy you hungry he D you

hadn't played you hadn't played so I

know you hungry let me get you going Deo

AR you know we call him Kobe or ozar

yeah so we made sure everybody ate right

and then he sat down and had him a big

old plate giving it to him and did you

see that defense that he put on Zion did

you see that I said LeBron LeBron say

hey should I get him should I get him M

got him did him up went at him you saw

it legs legs the man had hold on please

tell me somebody that's a faulty birth

certificate you mean to tell me that man

at 39 years of age the final game 82 he

over 70 games he gave you 28 17 and 11

mhm your goat could never you need to

stop that nonsense you need to stop that

non go could do whatever he wanted to do

you understand please yes he could let

me tell you something right well first

of all it was a different era it's

softer it's considerably softer today's

NBA than it was in the 80s and 90s you

keep forgetting that but that's a

different subject for another day I love

that Soliloquy that you just went on and

I'm going to give you your PR because

LeBron J looked like Magic Johnson part

du it was something special yesterday no

doubt about it

however it was against the New Orleans

Pelicans oh not the New Orleans stay

with me stay with me stay here so I just

want to throw some numbers by you go do

that Zion Williamson and we know how he

had been playing and obviously his

scoring averag has increased over the

last four months four from December

December January February March April

increased production there's no doubt

about that I don't know what the hell

goes on on with him when he sees the

purple and gold he's like scared to

death he looks scared to death not

against anybody else but against the

Lakers I don't know what the hell is

wrong with Zion but this is why I was

looking so much forward to this morning

show see Shan and sharp sit up there and

blo and talk about goat James and talks

about the Los Angeles Lakers you got a

dilemma my brother I

know room excuse me the elephant in the

room yeah if the Los Angeles Lakers win

tomorrow night against the New Orleans

Pelicans they go up against the Denver

Nuggets in the first round which means

they going to hell home so goat James

and AD and the crew do you win that game

and say bring on the Champions now in

the first round or do you lose dare I

say on purpose just to just to avoid the

Denver Nuggets so you can end up being

an e seed and then beting Golden State

of Sacramento which ain't no guarantee

cuz Sacramento swept you ain't no

guarantee cuz Steph Curry is there so

you going to get one or the other and

you could risk missing the Playoffs all

together Shannon sh you got your options

you can go home in the first round cuz

you ain't beting Denver or you can lose

and then end up with one of the brothers

in the bank in Sacramento

or Golden

State what you going to do when you go

James and you're 12T tall you don't duck

nobody I agree you see what I'm saying

leg you on Duck I agree so lookas and

die we going to be ready so you ready to

go home in the first round we ain't

going nowhere going we ain't get we

ain't going nowhere so you going to beat

New Orleans and then you going to beat

Denver we ain't

getting now he get swep now you see his

legs you see you see talk his leg now we

now we ain't get swep we get no

broomsticks that we'll win a game we'll

win a game to whatever I was wondering I

was wondering you know ad's back spasm

back spasms on purpose could that be

something that also surfaces right

before the seven game Tuesday night

maybe somebody else has a migraine can't

quite put a finger on that here's what

I'm saying listen there's a lot of talk

about this I am thoroughly on the side

of you show up you play the win you roll

the dice you move on to the Denver

Nuggets and take your shot I'm in that

camp because here's what happened

Stephen he listen I hear what you're

saying there's no question it's a more

favorable path if you can avoid them in

the first round the problem though with

this mentality is you now put yourself

in a one game single elimination

situation where anything and by the way

it might be against Steph Curry and the

Warriors potentially that might be who

that game is against now Anything Could

Happen man dude gets hurt foul trouble

somebody D'Angelo Russell has a terrible

shoo you're going home for the summer

you don't even get to participate in the

best of seven so I don't think that

mentality is legitimately going to creep

into that locker room into that

organization they show up I think they

beat the Pelicans and then they take on

the nuggets and unfortunately you're

right and Shannon I don't know if you

agree with this I don't think you'd pick

the Lakers to beat the Nuggets would you

Shannon you wouldn't do that yeah okay

so they would go home in five or six

games probably against Denver and season

over but if you put yourself into a off

where you're playing Steph Curry and the

Golden State Warriors potentially in a

one game situation where you don't even

participate in the postseason I just

can't see the Lakers intentionally doing

that I I can't I can't either but you

know it's a couple of things that we got

to take into consideration you know

number one the the the the the back SP

we got to take that in consideration

right so so so so definitely that he

says he's gonna play Anthony Davis said

there's no question he will be available

for Tuesday night but but Tuesday night

ain't here yet we shall see you know it

is a place where you know you might go

out you might hang out beautiful

restaurants all over the place you know

I mean food poisoning has been known to

derail people I me there's an abundance

of excuses that can be that can be that

that can be propped up between now and

Tuesday night so your horses ain't

available to you and as a result of that

the Personnel ain't in place and you and

and and it's IR rationale to lose it to

the New Orleans Pelicans and ultimately

play it for the AC SE so you can avoid

them I'm saying it's possible I'm just

saying it's possible with the exception

of a with the exception of ad when I

look at the Lakers their pallet doesn't

seem suitable for U Fe a jumbal a buang

gumbo yeah yeah yeah yeah so we go we

going we going to keep it D'Angelo

Austin Reed Austin Reed don't mind

eating he don't mind EA you know what

I'm

saying xray long as it don't show up on

an X-ray that's all that's all we

needers

can't detect it so we got to figure out

by the way I disagree I think Golden

State I don't think Golden State's

winning two Road games I think I don't I

think you either gonna have LeBron or

Steph I don't think damn oh damn I

forgot about that if the Lakers lose

then that game that that that other

playing game is in La I forgot about

that so You' actually be home too so

you'd actually be home too you know what

I'm saying I mean yet another reason yet

another reason for their confidence to

be hey man we can't avoid Denver

still end up in a postseason I'm just

saying me knowing goat James the way I

do we we never delay right right right

something tomorrow that we can

accomplish today right right so we what

we do we end seasons on Tuesday and we

get ready to start another season on

Friday that' be

Saturday be Saturday yeah that's okay

you know what I'm saying I mean have a

few days you tell you going to give us

all that rest yeah yeah yeah if you win

if you win you win at the 1 SE and the

players don't begin until it's weekend

so you get at least four full days off

only more valuable than gold jams right

now is Bitcoin Bet On It Bet On It

Shannon I don't know you should be you

should be betting we know how that turns

out for you Shannon you might just want

to keep your money in your pocket this

is what we will concede if the Lakers

want to win tomorrow night they will yes

we'll conceed that I'm not questioning

I'm not questioning what they do I'm

saying that you really really want to

you really want to you really want to

I'm just saying my got ad you see that

ad how many games he plays was 75 7 I

mean ad's been all world he deserves all

the praise in the world but back spasms

back SP and and by the way and by the

way and by the way back spaz UPS you

know the second they knew they was going

to win and then they be in a position to

get the seventh seed and then yit would

be

waiting stop it that's not even right
