Oh, I hesitate to answer this question because I know what's coming.

So I'm gonna give my answer, and then I'm gonna lay out for a while and then I'm coming back at you.

Stephen A Let me just say the answer to the question.

Does who I have the best shot to stop.

LeBron is no.

What floor is yours?

What?

Really?

All You know something, Max Next government is hilarious.

Let me get this straight.

The best player in the world co I limit your guy.

The guy is the best player in the world.

Stephen A Tommy, please.

He's the men.

It's not LeBron.

He's not the King.

That dude, Kawai Lenin who led the clever?

That's right.

Go hide next.

Wait.

Let me put the a P B out from Max Kellerman.

Where the hell is he will get you behind back here.

Don't hide now.

You've got to be kidding me.

Excuse May Kawai Lenin who just got Serge Ibaka, who still has Paul George.

He's got Ty Lue as a nuclear.

That's right.

so that face Max Kellerman.

So that face you got to be kidding me.

You're gonna sit up here with a straight face.

I don't even give a damn about what your answer is.

That's right.

I can't believe I can't believe you actually sat there with a straight face and said, Not co, I let it not Cool violated.

The season hasn't started pre season.

Hasn't started yet.

The Clippers lost a 31 lead.

The highly motivated Kowa has got something to prove.

Tie loses new coach Paul George got to show that he ain't gonna hit the side of backboard from three point range.

And I love Paul.

George, I don't like getting on Reggie Jackson has been retained.

Patrick Beverley is still there.

Serge Ibaka has replaced Montreal's Harold.

You're trying to tell me that you don't believe that?

Could while in it.

Your dude, The number one player in the world.

The two time champion.

The two time finals M v P.

That dude does not have.

He's not the favorite toe knock off LeBron.

I didn't even sit up there and ask you.

Is he gonna knock off LeBron?

I said, should he be the favorite.

And your answer is no Max Kellerman.

No, Really, Really.

You said something just now.

That explains why you said, You like Paul George, You don't want to get on them.

That's the reason.

If it was CO y on a team built that has a similar strength to the Lakers, that's one thing.

It is not because his second banana, Paul George, goes away in the playoffs.

Stephen A.

I cool.

I need all the extra credit to be considered better than LeBron.

I thought he was going to get it.

I thought he was Mr Game 7/4 quarter.

I've seen it.

He didn't he wasn't that this last season.

And if he doesn't have that going for him, the clutch thing going for him, I can't put him ahead of LeBron who's who's better than everyone else, right?

But I thought Kawai is a two way player plus when you need it most, given his age, everything.

I was proven wrong when he went away in the fourth quarter against Denver.

In the playoffs, however Quiet is a beast who I actually had a great playoffs coup.

I was the reigning finals, M v P heading into the season, his second finals.

M v p.

He's a great player in his prime.

If he had another player off his caliber like LeBron does on his team and the proper role players around him, I would pick quiet a win.

He doesn't.

He doesn't if your second banana, they have two superstars on the team on Lee.

It's really only one superstar and one star who are always waiting to become a superstar.

But he doesn't do it.

You brought up, hit the side of the rim, had side of the backboard in game in Game seven, right in the fourth quarter side of the backboard.

He's so off he loses confidence in the moment of truth.

How can I say that?

CO.

I got the best chance.

Put Kawhi with another dude like him, the way LeBron's with a D.

And then, sure, by the way, Stephen a even bring in.

Chris Paul switched teams right, bringing a Chris Paul, bringing a dynamic playmaker to make the offense cohesive.

I still would have picked the Clippers.

They didn't I can't s just question, so it's it's Paul George's fault that Kawhi Leonard, is it the kind of leader that could galvanize troops.

It's Paul George's fault that Kawhi Leonard is superstar as much of a superstar player as he is walks around with such an indifferent mentality all about making sure he handles his business as an individual but doesn't necessarily maximize the potential around him.

That's Paul George's fault.

Was it Paul George's fault that Coe Leonard shot six of 22 from the field and scored 14 points in a Game seven after losing a 31 lead?

But Jamal Murray had 40 that that's Paul George's fault, too.

I thought that was the elite defender.

I thought that he was the best player in the world.

I thought that he was the ultimate leader.

That's what you said.

That's what you said.

Now I know you said Oops, I do what I understand.

E No, You said Oops, I know you said Oops.

I think it would have been a program.

Matter of fact, I got another beat with you, Max.

You know, the other beat with you is I thought it was an exceptional thing that you did right now just hiding out of the camera.

That's what you should have did after they lost Game seven.

My only beef with you.

Why didn't you do it then?

What you doing?

What you save it for this morning, Where was that Max Kellerman from this morning that was hiding from the camera, Hiding away from the camera.

Where was that?

Max Kellerman after Game seven, when Kawai let it shot six or 22.

Finished with 14 points.

Let Jamal Murray dropped 40.

Damn their average 40 for the Siri's.

And, Oh, by the way, all Max had with the oops.

You should have been hotter from the camera that day.

That's my beef.

No.

Now, look, Here's the bottom line.

Quiet.

A bad game seven.

He's had very few bad clutch performances in his career, and he's had more clutch performances than almost anyone, like whoever lived like you.

Look at how Maney clutch performances Kawai has had since he was a 22 year old before even knew what he was doing.

He wasn't highly touted or anything like that, since board man gets paid out of college, just happy to be drafted and all that stuff.

He is a very clutch player.

Even clutch players have very bad nights.

He picked the wrong night toe.

Have a bad night.

But what I'm saying is I don't expect a repeat of that from CO I.

More often than not, he comes through.

So then it becomes what's his supporting cast like I like Ibaka over Harold.

I think that's a marginal improvement, right?

But Stephen A, you and I both know they needed a point guard.

It's just a position.

Kuai plays CO I can.

Well, they want.

It's OK, he's in above one.

Iran doesn't at this point in his career for a small forward, but he's not right.

Rondo or CPI.

They wanted Rondo, but Atlanta offered them about 10 million more.

They often e I get it, but But we have to admit the Clippers, if they got better, got marginally better in the off season and didn't get what they needed.
