data-mm-id=”_pfrmqmzph”>Max Kellerman just uttered what might be the worst NBA take I've ever heard. On Wednesday's First Take, Kellerman claimed the Donovan Mitchell-Jamal Murray feud could become the next Magic Johnson-Larry Bird rivalry. That's just a stunningly terrible opinion. Here, watch it for yourself:.@maxkellerman thinks the Donovan Mitchell/Jamal Murray rivalry could become the new Bird/Magic."This is the only real rivalry right now, in my mind, in the NBA." pic.twitter.com/iUexRsCKqt— First Take (@FirstTake) August 26, 2020Magic and Bird were the two best players in the NBA during their era. Murray and Mitchell are really good, but they're not even top 10 guys right now. Regardless of that, for it to even come close to a Magic/Bird scenario,…

data-mm-id=”_90jr4c2a6″>On Wednesday night, the Miami Heat will embark on the final leg of their long journey to complete one of the most improbable title runs in recent NBA history. They will face off against the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals after beating the Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Boston Celtics to get there. The Celtics presented the biggest challenge to Miami over the course of this playoffs, going up big multiple times before ultimately losing the series in six games. One of the big reasons the Heat were able to take down a more talented Boston squad was their ability to execute a zone defense. They're a good man-to-man team, but proved in the Eastern Conference Finals they were also a great zone team. That begs the natural question: how often …

data-mm-id=”_uxpv1nhzu”>The Ben Simmons situation has officially come to a head in Philadelphia. Adrian Wojnarowski reported earlier this week that Simmons will not show up to any team activities in an effort to force a trade and does not care one bit about the financial consequences that inevitably come with that course of action. After a summer of trying, Daryl Morey now has to trade the All-NBA defender unless the relationship can be fixed, which feels unlikely at this juncture. Doc Rivers, who helped spark this wildfire by throwing Simmons under the bus after the team's Game 7 loss against the Hawks, went on First Take today to explain the situation from where he's sitting. Before we get into it, it's kind of crazy Rivers would even do this. It's an extremely hi…

data-mm-id=”_vi4o4eiov”>The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting the Tennessee Titans in Week 15. So far the Titans have not been polite guests. First they stood on the Steelers logo. Then they took a 10-0 lead. And speaking of the behavior of unwanted guests, have you ever seen "Home Alone"? Well, TJ Watt obviously has since he has Kevin McCallister on one of his cleats today.On the other cleat is Clark Griswold from "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." The "Home Alone" shoe features the "Merry Christmas ya filthy animal line," while the "Christmas Vacation" shoe has "Where's the Tylenol?"More Articles About Christmas Movies:…

data-mm-id=”_vkere61tp”>As soon as Shannon Sharpe had wrapped up his final goodbyes on the June 13th edition of Undisputed, there were two pressing questions. One, who would ultimately replace him across the desk from Skip Bayless. Two, how long would that process take. Plugged-in sources indicated that it might be a longer hiatus than most were envisioning at the time and Bayless confirmed they'd be using the entire runway to football season with a tweet a few days ago announcing there wouldn't be any new episodes until August 28. On one hand it makes all the sense in the world to take the appropriate time to get it right and re-launch right before the NFL season begins. The second half of summer is notoriously slow content-wise and many shows take it a bit easy during these…

It didn't take long for the fireworks to start as beat reporters for both sides in attendance captured video of a pregame fight between the two sides.

data-mm-id=”_4rw54ne6b”>Jeff Saturday's dalliance with the NFL sidelines last year was brief and ESPN brought him back for the 2023 season. Saturday has been surprisingly willing to talk about his experience with the Indianapolis Colts and he's always been a decent enough studio analyst so it's added value for the everyday lineup. On Tuesday, Saturday joined the network's big offseason addition, Shannon Sharpe, alongside Stephen A. Smith for some First Take action and his name tripped Sharpe up. While getting into the meat of his rant Sharpe went to address Saturday but called him Friday instead. A classic miscue.
