First Take begins with STAND UP NEW YORKKKKK. The Knicks are headed to the ECF, again! Back-to-back. DOMINATION. Stephen A. is HYPED! Then, Wemby is throwing hands! What got into The Alien last night? Next, The Thunder boast a +128 pt differential through seven playoff games. They're steamrolling the West. Is this dominance good for the NBA? Finally, should the Wizards take AJ Dybantsa?
First Take resumes with a suddenly eerie Sixers offseason. A week ago it was butterflies and rainbows celebrating a game 7 victory over the Celtics. Just one week later, we have questions about Embiid's health, front office malfeasance, and general atrocious vibes! Then, should Wemby be suspended for elbowing Naz Reid? Next, how would a sweep change LeBron's legacy? Does Kareem pass him all time?
First Take begins and Cam'ron is BACK with an overview of LeBron's time in LA. One title, 7-8 playoff series record, and only missed the playoffs twice. Success? Then, Wemby is serving no suspension and paying zero fines. Perk has a MAJOR problem with this decision! He was fined just for shoving Jae Crowder! Fine that man!!! Next, we revisit some shocking clips from just a couple of week ago when the skies were red and yellow, not blue and orange...
First Take resumes with Stephen A.'s List! Top 5 landing spots for LeBron. Then, does a Giannis for Jaylen Brown trade make sense for either side? And, should the Knicks be in on the Greek Freak sweepstakes after their flawless march to the ECF? Next, Draymond is SHOCKED that Wemby wasn't fined or suspended for his elbowing of Naz Reid.
