If Shannon Sharpe does come to ESPN, I can't wait for him to get put in a segment with Mad Dog.

[Mikel_Trujillo]

Mad dog is just a more likeable and actually funny version of skip Bayless

[AlwaysOnDeck]

Mad Dog's face, whenever someone brings up 80's basketball, is the funniest thing ever.

[normanmcevoy]

Maddog’s default facial expression when waiting to talk is the same way I look at the last bite of a ice cream in the tub of ice cream

[tyresemaxeyfan]

Porzingis played in the playoffs vs the clippers in Dallas 😂

[anthonyblood]

Derrick Brown is my favorite Celtics player.

Jokes aside, Derrick White really is my favorite. His advanced stats are exceptional and the brother is so humble.

[Quantum_Exia]

I agree with Mad Dog, you see JT and JB turn over the ball a million times over the last 2 post season and you pick them as the favorites lol

[stonecoldbascar]

5:15 Derrick White is all of a sudden Derrick Brown lol

[sakariajama]

Mad Dog doesn’t let Molly finish her questions. 😂😂😂

[Koskely]

Most valuable player is Shohei Ohtani. Bro is reviving a whole sport.

[BadMax]

man last few years are crazy - if it was 2015-2016 he would get maybe 120mill

[GHermano]

4:57 just added an extra inch for both lmao 😂😂😂

[nicholaskernan]

Mad Dog with the blue steel Zoolander face! My lord have mercy 😂😂

[bobfttw]

I wouldn't call my Celtics favorites either. You've solved some of the issues with the front court, yes, but back court playmaking remains a problem. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown do not compliment each other as stars in this league and without consistent back court playmaking our offense will continue to be one dimensional. For what it's worth though the defense is gonna be top 5 without a doubt provided Porzingis can stay healthy.

[malikxshabazz]

Bruh I be over here dying when Madd Dogg go to yellin’..lol!

[Marx]

JB is like Klay with less of a shot but better slashing. It was a smart move imo. The team choked but he’s usually one of my favorite players.

[mannydaprofit]

Mad dog looking like John travolta in grease with that stare lol

[aibonitoguerrero]

Right now, Othani is the true unicorn! Nobody is close to being as unique as he is as a player. Nobody has ever done what Othani is doing, and we still don't know if someone will ever do what he is doing. 😮

[elijah.j]

They had all great answers at the ending segment

[Zion-Williamzyn]

Mad dog literally a young skip bayless 😂 even looks similar to him too
