Stephen A. WAS SHOCKED to hear this Kevin Durant & Luka Doncic HOT TAKE 🔥 | First Take
On First Take, Stephen A. Smith, Tim Legler and Shannon Sharpe join Molly Qerim to talk through who has the most pressure in the Western Conference. Legler thinks both Luka Doncic and Kevin Durant have the most pressure, which caused Stephen A. to verbally gasp before he places James Harden’s name on the list.

"I got the Suns beat the wolves" Well this age like milk
SAS is fraud hahaha
LAKER AND CLIPPER ARE BOTH SUCKS..THEY NEED NEW PLAYERS NEW COACHES 😂😂😂
No. If Suns wins it all, people will turn to Booker, not KD. So essentially no pressure for KD because Sun wins or loses, either way he will NOT get recognized.
After getting spanked by Momma Durant SAS gives passes to KD that he would never give to Lebron.
The bias of Stephen A is absolutely wild. He finds every reason to put an asterisk on Kawhi’s 2 rings yet holds KD’s 2 rings in such high regard. Fact is KD’s are far weaker than Kawhi’s.
For the love of God, do not take Molly off camera when she's looking that good.
These guys keep their jobs by rehashing the same arguments every playoff season
What did KD do to Unc?! . The tone 😂
I like the pressure on Harden but common sense dictates that he’s not a championship player
Stephen A cracks me up as soon as he starts his speech😆 not that i disagree but he should really be a hollywood actor…so expressive
Stephen A. Smith with the dumbest takes ever again, what's new
What an awful take. Luka who is very early in his career, on a team that hasn't spent the money like the Lakers, Clippers, Suns, etc. KD has two rings. Get real Tim.
Lakers Beating Nuggets
LOL stephen A is hilarious in his harden hate. Harden is the 3rd best player on the clippers KD is #1 on the suns. Who has more pressure? If kawi cant play the pressure will be low with the expectations. I'll bet all three of these guys were picking bucks for the title after they picked up lillard. Dame hasnt won even a second round series in 10+ years and shoots 41% int heplayoffs for his career. The trade was a "masterstroke" that was going to win a ring. But they like Dame he is their kind of guy. They get to erase all their terrible predictions year after year and they get cred? NAAAAAH! We need a stink score for these analysts, how bad are they? Who said the nugs couldnt win? Who had the bucks or lakers in the finals last year. They have no cred with me, none of them even made a decent forecast for years. They should be rated for actual results in their prediction expertise.
Mavs got it js because you have a mega team doesn’t always mean win
Tim Legler and Shannon Sharpe are right. Stephen A is wrong. Everyone knows Harden is not a winner. He's a great talent that never knew how to win. However the verdict is still out on KD. He won MVP's in both of his title runs. But he had a championship nucleus already in place. If he wins in Phoenix that will take his legacy up to another level.
Stephen A know himself he’s lying on this topic😅
Boycott racist sports commentators
James Harden is going to get less pressure similar to how CP3 is now viewed. Legler is right
Stupid how Steven A. Acts surprised…when they already discussed their talking points before the show
Dude in the middle is speaking facts.
THATS BLASPHEMY….. BLASPHEMOUS!
The biggest pressure to win chip is on KD and Damian Lillard..Nobody expects anything good from Harden in the playoffs…Luka doesn't have a big time big man to help him like Lillard does…Kyre and Luka are the greatest show on earth to watch..but their team is not constructed for a chip..they need a dominant big man
Tim is right on point with KD , Harden comparison…nobody and I mean nobody expects much from Harden in playoffs..harden hasproven himself to be a playoff bust year after year..and hasn't won anything despie playing with Kyre, George, Westbrook, and KD twice, ..he's option 3 on his team. KD is option one and has 2 allstars to back him up. Tims statement that all chip are not a like and he is right..
Pressure on Tatum and Brown to win. Luka is under pressure as well
SAS is dead wrong here. James Harden is a loser and NO ONE, NOBODY have any expectations of him winning. His LEGACY won't be tainted if he doesn't win one. Many VERY TALENTED PEOPLE with less controversy have not won a title. Patrick Ewing, Steve Nash, SO MANY, did that taint their legacy? So, why would Harden be the "most under pressure" to win? It'd be Durant, cos he's got SO MUCH TALENTs playing with him, and he can't win one. Which means the his 2 rings, is because of the Warriors, not the other way round.
I don't think James Harden expects James Harden, to win championships. Stephen A. wrong on this one.
Shannon get off kd 🥜
What’s her name looking good
I think my respect for Stephen A gone downhill fast especially when he and Shannon talks about individual against Windy and Windy talk about Basketball. STFU both of y'all. Editor. This comment section is for nothing if you put it out without them actually seeing these YouTube comments but Twitter only. smh. Stop posting this nonsense.
Jokic & Westbrook won WVP from 6th seed. Why can't the best individual 5th seeding Player from the MAVS cannot win his MVP. NBA makes no sense now.
Come on Steven, be open mind, theirs point it's what it's, no body think bout Harden no more
Didn't think ill be hearing about james harden during this.
It ain't no pressure on James Harden
Molly is so sexy and beautiful
I think durant will lament his legacy this time. With booker on his side, remember they won the olympics together with that crappy lineup
Stephen a, man, if Lebron had Book and Beal the past couple years and did what KD did with the suns, you’d exclude him from the GOAT conversation. Sincerely, why does KD get a pass?
Tim Legler got this one.
There’s more pressure on the Celtics to win the championship than any other team. I’ve heard it over and over this season that it’s Bostons best chance and theirs to loose.
MR. JAMES HARDEN…..ALL THE ACCOLADES & NO NBA FINAL CHAMPIONSHIP RING ? THAT GOES TO SHOW YOU THE NBA COMMITTEE WILL SAY "DON'T CALL US…WE'LL CALL YOU." 🏀😜🏀😜🏀😜
I don’t agree with Shannon on that Lebron take. When he went to Mia they lost the finals their first run so I think there was more pressure on Miami Lebron to win his first ring then when he came back to Cleveland.
Harden is never winning a championship. He’s that one player that just will never win one nobody cares or is worried about about James Harden
The most pressure is gonna be someoe who isnt a champion
Let name few where is Embid, Jason Tatum James harden, Damian lillard, SGA the guys you wanna give them limelight during the regular season for doing nothing in playoff…they all shrink..durant and luka will outshine all them together
They shut down Stephen A’s entire argument. lol
These guys are great analyst/promoters of the nba. Very impressive, they’re making me want to watch the entire western conference playoffs.
Edit: is it them or is the western conference just that good?
