no way they put the camera shot of the metal detector for the grizzles 🤣🤣

😃😄😀

And they made sure they showed it what kind of b******* is that

They thought they was slick 🤣 🤣🤣

Dang, they really trying to remind Ja why he suspended right now. Lol 🤣

For sure they did. 😆 🤣

After Ja was caught with a blick they making sure everyone go thru that metal detector 🤣🤣🤣

Yep.. another one who ruins everything for everybody else.

​@Gambbit I don't think you're allowed to bring your gun to work and point it at people. That's what he did to the Pacers bus. Not to mention, getting drunk at a stripclub and waving your gun around is a recipe for disaster. But sure, go off sis.

@Gambbit You have personal privacy in your home or public property. You have no right to carry a gun on private property of the NBA. And no one is forcing them to work there. JA is an idiot who took a gun took a strip club and waved it around for his social media account. He wasn’t being a responsible firearm owner.

@Gambbit they have protection to and from the arena.

You can tell Jamal was impressed with and sincerely appreciated Ernie's professionalism and warm introduction.

@Conjo ong 💀💀💀

what a weird comment. of course he was gonna be professional, what are we body language analyzers, its just a normal thing wtf.

No way that metal detector shot was an accident

TNT have some good trolls on their team 😂

no it's not an accident, it's been there for decades lol

😂😂😂

HAHAHAHA now that i seen ur comment...hilarious :p

The subtle jabs always hit the hardest. 😂😂😂😂

LOL Chuck Ernie: “Home against Sacramento” Chuck: “That’s a hard game!” Ernie: “At Golden State” Chuck: “That’s a REALLY hard game!” Ernie: “Home against the Bucks” Chuck: “Oooooh loord!” Ernie: “Home against the Magic” Chuck: “Oh thank goodness.”

😂😂😂

I think the Magic clobbered the Suns at one point this season. Sure, the next 3 games are going to be tough but they already beat the Warriors 3 times this year and the Kings twice. They still have Booker, Ayton, and Paul who is still the general.

@Meatus Shaft magic has a really good young core, add victor and let it settle in for a couple years they could really run the east

@Whodidit? yo! I honestly want them to lose a few to close out the year so they can be in the running for Victor! That would literally make Disneyworld the the scariest place in the East for the next 10 years minimum! I’m weak af just typing that out! 😂

​@Meatus Shaft Future contenders if they keep healthy

As a Laker fan, I'm just happy they don't have to scroll down to see us in the standings now.

@TheSilverOfShadow because Dillon brooks is transgender

@D Stop crying

@D Stop crying. There are 82 games.

Funny joke hahahahahahahaha

😂😂😂 CHUCK MADE ME SPIT MY WATER OUT. “HE’S FIRED” caught me off guard 😂

I love how the Kings have held the 2-3 spot for a while now and no one ever talks about them.

Denver is #1 and they don't get talked about so join the club

Because they'll just flame out in the playoffs

@Hulk Smashe used to it lol nobody cares about Mke even tho we’re the best in the world

Let them sleep on the Kings, i hope they sweep some poor team in the first round

Jamal Crawford looks like he hasn't aged a day since he played his last game.

Don't Crack

He black.

That might be the weirdest ankle roll I’ve ever seen. It didn’t even look like he slipped. He just rolled it by planting for a layup.

Ankle rolls like that can be common. If the muscles are potentially weak around any of those joint axes, such as the lateral peroneals, which are key stabilizers, then absolutely the foot/ankle can roll like that. KD needs some MAT (muscle activation).

@buba ba bro, that shouldn’t matter. The musculature, tendons, ligaments etc would proportionally also be strong. Just because he has freakishly big feet doesn’t mean he would be “prone to injury “.

Seems like planned to me

Actually lift weights and strengthen your body. No excuse. He's injured 3/4 of every year now

Durant planned it, so he can request for a trade to the most stacked team next season.

i appreciate the closeup on the injury. i thought he hurt it launding, i didn't realize he did it from jumping. that might have actually put more pressure on it. i've rolled my ankle so many times so i feel for him. once i jump down about 5 steps and landed on my foot sideways... hurt for weeks

“It ain’t that type of show, loosen up, brother..” 😂😂 Shaq

Man, chuck always gives me a good laugh “he’s fired!”

"it's not that type of show" Shaq and JC know the tuesday crew sucks lmfao

Fr can’t stand that crew wish they had chuck on twice a week

Never get too excited when you're a Suns fan.

@cosmos buggin 😂😂

@NESGTorro I hate when they “deserve” a ring for guys like rose or dame. U gotta play for it every szn, it won’t be handed to u no matter how likable u are

@cosmos kd ain’t no more? This guy is arguably the greatest scorer in nba history. That isn’t more, cuz the suns could’ve used some of that in the games they’ve lost. Kd as a player is better than all of the nets compensation combined. Nets aren’t winning a ring with mikal bridges as their best player.

Cuz Luka owns u

Whats more crazy is bridges is a tall lengthy player that plays def too and he balling he ain’t kd but kd ain’t kd no more

The flippin metal detector went off and security did nothing ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

It ain’t worth his life lol

KD getting injured is just pain, yet not surprising. He unfortunately has had sooo many lower body injuries, and continues to have injuries after his achilles injury. He's beat up man. Such a great hooper, but the body can only handle and bounce back so much.

@joshua petherick bro injuries happen, when your 7 foot tall and move like him and are in your 30s you get hurt, he's got the best trainers in the world helping him to stay healthy, you cant avoid injuries, they happen

@freedy 16 yeah I just said it's not working I've been following him for last three seasons injured every time just sucks they woulda won championship with harden kyrie but they couldn't all stay healthy enuf and playryt

@joshua petherick he literally benches more the Giannis 💀 just because he looks skinny and is injury prone doesn't mean he isn't strong... He's KD and arguably a top 10-20 NBA player of all time of course he is in the weight room and of course he is strong af

​@freedy 16 he myt b in the weight room shits not working

@hi hi imagine thinking Kevin durant isn't in the weight room lol wtf you smoking bro, give me some

I love how EJ is locked, loaded and ready to go with those pens.

Kd is so tall and has thin legs, that makes him fragile, he’s going to need to find a way to gain at least a bit of leg volume or muscle because as he gets older he’s only going to become more injury prone and those will have a greater toll on his body. This muscle gain is going to affect his mobility, but he’s a great player and he should be able to adjust to the different capabilities of his body and look to strengthen different parts of his game

One nasty dunk from Zion or these other young big boys can literally injure him.

He might be even better SKIlled 7ft with STRENGTH/BULK > Skilled, fragile 7fter with average speed/athletics.

He's a skilled 7ft player - he might lose mobility/speed, but he will be less injury prone + and can even muscle his way to some points Ala LeBron- he was never fast/Jumper anyways.

Exactly! He has a PG frame in a 7ft body that plays like a scoring/shooting guard - He definitely needs to add muscle to prevent injury.

I knew this was going to eventually happen this season… I just thought it would happen in Brooklyn… when you’re an aging, injury prone player it is what it is.

Imagine if this program was unfiltered. Pure gold.

Damn Ernie came packing with all those jacket pens 😆

Glad I'm not the only one. He be keeping it real.....real professional 🤣

I blame KD's injury on his KD 15 shoes. Bro, I got the Aunt Pearl color way and those bugger's traction can give out on you at any given moment, and lead to the deadly duo of unprotected ankle support, messing your ankles up. That is why I don't play point guard with them shoes. I've always had the issue that they might come out of my feet when I drive in and the feeling of sliding bc the traction idk, it just disappears.

​@Darren Gordon-Hill So why is Giannis dominating and winning championships in low tops then? Every time yall wanna give these new weak players a pass, a real man like Giannis has to dispell the bs. How about Dr J shoes? Or lots of the old players that played 82 games in them? Never injured. How about them? Stop giving this weak Era excuses.

It had nothing to do with traction and everything to do with buckling. Stop giving him excuses. It wasn't a slip, he's done. He buckled. It's a doctor on YouTube breaking it down.

​@Darren Gordon-Hill ikr. It always bothered tf outta me that Kobe played in lows. In the end it wuz his ankles that did him in

Men used to wear practical clothing. Now they want feminine fashion "Low cut" was bad for Kobe, and he's 6'6...

did the same thing in his shoes the first day i played in them, and messed up my knee. its those super soft pillowy cushion shoes that are an unreliable base and unstable. too much compression and no firm grab of floor. Its the exact reason Markelle Fultz switched from Lebrons to Kobes after his ACL surgery. Returned them right after happened, low to ground minimal cushion or drop in midsole for me.

How Ja make it through the metal detector 😂

Because he too hood 😅

Dey let him thru da Side door 🤣🤦🏾‍♂️

Lmaooo

If Karma was true, it happened to Durant. First home game with his new team and gets hurt during warm-ups. That's crazy.

YOUDUM

I would actually like Jamal Crawford with this crew on Thursdays. He fits better than Kenny to me, in some ways.

I don’t know why more nba players don’t wear ankle braces or high top shoes

​@Mind YourBuisness that twig has been outplayed better athletes his whole life bud

They get their ankles taped , remember when Zion busted a shoe at Duke ,

I always wore one

​@Mind YourBuisness man that kinda makes sense i guess. Never thought of it that way. But its not that serious. Playin ball in low tops is crazy. U basically playing Russian roulette wit ur ankle

It's bad for your knees. Better to sprain an ankle than for the force to go to your knees. The actual answer is not be built like a twig and fragile

I feel bad for booker, his dad AND his best friend got injured, he can't feel that good

Shaq looking like Prime Diesel with that clean up

Ja warrant got the facility on high alert 😳

Ja got the Juice now

Ja caught me

It's always been like that, w cameraman tho

Baba yaga

@Lit stop! Don’t ever disrespect the only man in the world who has more focus, commitment and sheer will in this life than the great Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr! Just don’t! 🛑

“I don’t know what it’s lookin… but it’s lookin different.” Ernie with a sly diss. 😂

How come sprains takes weeks now? Back in my day we walk it off, play, then rest a day or two and back on it. A sprain is a sprain, it isn't a tear, but players are becoming soft because of this

As a Suns fan, I’m not scared of those teams Chuck mentioned because we compete well against but them damn Orlando Magic has had our number lol

It's a reunion for Terrance Ross

Woah, SHAQ looking slimmer wtf. Imagine if he had this discipline in his NBA time, he would've been top 1-3 All Time.

If Shaq had the discipline of Kobe, MJ, or LeBron he would have been top dog by a mile and a half. But that's part of what makes the greats great. It's not just their insane physiques but their work ethic and motivation.

And Kobe would've never hated him. The Lakers would've kept him.

Maybe Chuck slimming down rubbed on him, didn't even notice that until this year.

Yes, but his game was incomplete.

Them big heavy azz shoes he had on is why he rolled it 😂😂😂

It's hilarious why they showed the NBA players walking through the metal detectors now 😂😂😂😂😂 thx alot ja😂😂🤣🤣

I had that same injury when I was in the Marines. It took years for my ankle to get back to somewhat normal.

That ankle sprain came out of nowhere

Big fish small pond. I feel you bro

Also the metal detector definitely went off, but the guard still let him through Lol. Nice security.

Fun fact: Warriors are losing on purpose to avoid suns in the first round

@Tru Tru worry? No one's catching up to them. They'll win enough to Satu at 4 and maybe even move one.

Who's worried about the injury prone Suns? Nobody. The Suns better hope they make it.

I think King and grizzlies are the only team gsw can beat but still a dangerous series and I don't think they will be the 4th in the standings. They need to pray Memphis keeps on Lossing.

@Winchester Westfield  suns just won yesterday lol

@Winchester Westfield  I'm talking about the suns. They winning without Durant.

This was one of the easiest things to predict about the trade: a Durant injury at some point this season. He's fragile.

@Mathew Horodner lol so original, I bet both your dads are proud of you

​@Bryan G Yes. Correct.

Exactly.

@Bryan G next is you

It’s so funny Barkley always got those mannerisms after Shaq talk like you a damn fool

KD has not been the same since the Dubs Raptors finals. Even after coming back he has not had his old burst towards the rim. Even his J is different from 2017,18 season. He is not the same player.

"They was playing great too". I love Chucky.🤣🤣🤣

That extra security buff!! Nice move camera man and the NBA commissioner lol

Kevin did that on purpose 😂

Booker getting that apology phone call to Luka ready.

@Gordon Love 1 that wasn’t the conference finals my guy 2 book has played in the finals I think games 1-6 mattered way more than a game 7 of a round 2 series

​@2Cents because playoffs matter and game 7 of the conference finals is the most important game booker has ever played in. Stop making excuses and trying to deflect, it's sad and pathetic and everyone sees right through it. Booker looked completely lost and struggled is putting it lightly, in the most important game he's played in. Obviously he's a great player, wish he would talk trash when he wasn't up, but what can you do, some guys are cowards. He's got a lot to prove and last year has to come into account. It's one thing to put up a good effort in a losing battle, but we didn't see that. He was bad, really bad and ate his words.

@SilkyG9177/20/21 lmao Book trash

@2Cents Luka has won more matchups against Luka? Also I'm not a Mavs fan, or a fan of any team... So all these salty replies are a waste of time. As for "Booker getting the best of Luka head to head" well that's expected when you have clearly the best overall & deepest team every single time.

You mean his dad

Really appreciate the perspective tnt has provided with Shaq, Ernie, Kenny, and Candace. Excellent analysis of the game while being realistic. The other shows can learn a lot.

Bro said Candace Parker 😭

KD was practicing on some equipment during warmups like he was doing parkour.. that is probably what made him roll his ankle

I could relate to Kenny. I never went to school on my birthday.😂

My son never wanted to go to school in his birthday 😂

If only the training staff were smart enough to get their athletes something effective such as Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT), then KD would be back in no time. But sadly, most trainers let their ego get in the way of what actually works.

Bus driver now has to take a seat 💺. Hope he gets better quickly. Somebody has to drive them to the finals.

“Hold on nahh” Ernie been around back people too long 😂 1:53

💀. He definitely said na. And he been in Atl forever. Idc who u are. U live in Georgia long enough u gone start talkin like us

🤣🤣

Lmao

Ernie is a national treasure

Crawford is too serious.

"GSW will repeat if they get #4 seed."That was shade at my Denver Nuggets Mr. Shaq.

Durant was wearing low tops in the video of him warning up. Who the hell wears low tops anymore? Whose idea was this? Especially with his history of leg injuries. Incredible.

@2Cents I played bball for over 20 years and i had my share of ankles, knees, back and fingers injury.... but i never injured myself doing basic practice drill, like doing a fucking layup!!! The only reason this dude has a ring, is because he joined an already super team, he only has 2 maybe 3 good years left!!!

@Low End 27th Street was Dominique Wilkins wearing low tops when he tore his Achilles?

@Mathieu Duval I bet you have rolled your ankle doing less. It happens but all of you ppl pretend you have never experienced a rolled ankle in your life.

​@Answering yea Kobe tore his Achilles in low top shoes

💯

The season that a warm up needs a warm up.

I'm like Chuck hoping Kenny got fired. Give me Mr Crawford in that spot.

smh think about it if he stayed a net he would not of injured his self but prayers to durizzy hope he back playing at the top level ...

West really is wide open. 1st round sure to be quite interesting.

Classic Durant

If i owned the phoenix suns im firing everyone who mops 😂

​@Omar Guzman Nah that wasn't a joke. If it was it was a horrible one. A joke has to have context with it.

@Darren Gordon-Hill 😂😂😂

Shaq is going along with the joke. He said the Suns will have some slippage after what he saw at 5:08 😂

the metal detector machine said to not pass, and they did not even checked him... I believe something like that happened to Ja.

Soft like butter. Damn KD, I used to roll my ankle like that and never sit out 15 mins.

You weren't worth millions either

1:43 Shaq is right as AVID WATCHER, ERNIE, SHAQ, CHUCK AND KENNY each fill a void NO ONE CAN REPLACE. JCROSS is a different vibe. The Thursday crew needs to be EVERYDAY.

Who didn't sprain his ankle playing basketball - never played it at all. But the fact is it hurts like hell

@330 wiz Well, youre right, i dont remember anyone ever sprained his ankle during heat up

Playing basketball or getting ready to play basketball?🤣🤣

That ankle sprain was hard to watch.

shaq always has the worst predictions also 4:31 im crying

This is the closest I’ve seen the west in my lifetime

Breaking news. KD is out indefinitely with broken right wrist, after attempting to brush his hair 😢

@Masio Masio oh my bad... You mean his bald spot.. Yeah yeah, he forgot the spray on

@Lucky889 S you don’t get it smh. KD head so nappy, he snapped his wrist 🥁

Nah, that was AD

The funny thing is the metal detector went off and they just let him keep going😂😂😂

Shaq doesn’t get that they’d still have to go on the road against the 1 and 2/3 seeds. He makes the point that if they get home court they will win it…. But then he only gives them one series of home court in his prediction. Classic Shaq. Go put another $20 in that tank big fella.

I said it when he went to the nets and I said it 2 weeks ago when he went to the suns. They’re not winning

I think KD's sneakers contributed why he got tripped

Glad Shaq made that comment to loosen up. He did look tense.

How Gilbert Arenas get his strap thru the metal detector 😂

Dude, as far as rolled ankles go, the ankle touching the floor while the leg is pretty much vertical is probably as bad as it gets.

Guys get hurt worser playing street ball and keep on playing . . But maybe KD probably don't want to play to many regular season games at this stage or Phoenix don't want to take any chances . .

I'm old, but basketball shoes didn't use to look like sketchers back in my day

Love to see my man J-Crossover in there.

I just think he's a cool dude

Two to three weeks will go by quick, so I'm not worried if you're Phoenix. It's just a sprained ankle.

You definitely don't know ball. He will NOT return for the regular season. 2nd, what type condition do you think he will be in going into the playoffs? At this level of competition. Shiiid, good luck. Phoenix stupid for getting rid of everyone for him and they are in denial but they can deny all they want. They will have to face reality one day soon. Should have let Brooklyn keep that headache. Now the Suns are destroyed for like the next 10 years.

Just ask Drake how he feels about sprained ankles

Rough being a Suns fan, thinking it was great to get KD and then this...

This KD injury is so embarrassing for the Phoenix Suns organization. You spend all these assets going all in just to heve your entire season potentially curtailed bc someone didn't bust out a 5 dollar mop. 🤦🏽‍♂️

That wasn't a slip, just a unfortunate mishap.

There's been a plethora of ankle injuries in the last few years. You know what the last few months alone. 80's 90's and early 2000 players never had this many ankle injuries. Something that all those decades had in common let me see... Oh yeah they wore high tops or mid tops to protect their ankles. Huh...imagine that🤔😉🤣

Joke aside it’s probably nutrition and training bulked up players with thick muscles and explosiveness. Unfortunately, ligaments and joints aren’t designed to take that much force and weight.

Even if it's not the shoes, I don't understand why more players aren't taping and doing other things to prevent ankle sprains. Each one you get makes it progressively easier to get another. Seems like it would be absolute top of the list for both players and medical teams priorities. Clearly not enough is being done with the crazy amount of ankle injuries today.

low tops aren’t the reason 😂. A lot of low tops have better lockdown than high tops

Pace has become insane with the speed of play and players are specializing in basketball way younger so they putting miles on their body way sooner

Has nothing to do with shoes

Rip Pat Riley blud has my team in shambles💔

Ernie got them colored pens on deck inside that jacket 😆💀

Sniper is getting Old Guy. 🏀 is a young Man's Game. ❤️💀☮️... Hard to swallow but true. But Hoping, he can recover and play the post season. 💀😇💀

What conference do you guys think is better or more competitive?

The Memphis Metal Detectors 🤣🤣🤣

Durant always hurt once he signs a new contract

No. He's always hurt period.

They should really do something about those ankle breaking shoes.

Got them Boyz coming thru metal detectors in Memphis 😂😂😂😂

Ernie: Kenny Smith... Chuck: He fiya'd!!

1:08 Chuck speaking on behalf of everyone!

I like Crawford on the panel. He's a good fit imo. Also, ugh KD is out and he just got there pretty much. Why now of all times? I bet Phoenix ain't too happy about that honestly.
