I love how Mad Dogg just enters every topic with a ludicrous statement.

Steven's face when Mad Dog said "In 1978..."😂🤣😂🤣😂

[DubDubeee]

I love how Mad Dog brings old school teams in his debates! He drives Stephen A. crazy and I love it! They need a basketball topic every week. 🤣

Mad Dog is Gold 😂 with his back in the 60's and 70's references.

[houstonbrock]

Always count on Mad Dog for the history lesson

[petramacneary]

One of the best topics this show has had in a while that brought out the best of Stephen A. Mad Dog is the new skip bayless of first take. He does a phenomenal job, whether you agree with him or not, on bringing the old school teams, trolling Stephen A, and just having a loud voice. Sign him to be permanent on the show every day!

[TrentonWilliams]

Love how Mad Dog brings up Old School. Sometimes, we forget about the legends.

[henrywilliamson]

These guys are REALLY good together! I love how SA rolls his eyes when MadDog brings up the 70s! 😂😂😂

I love Mad Dog for bringing up my '78-'79 Seattle Super Sonics!! I would add that, we also had Paul Silas coming of the bench as our enforcer.

3:35, Great back and forth by Stephen A. and Mad Dog Russo. With knowledge of the points being made and great entertainment. Great chemistry too.

[xplosiv]

Give Ayton some credit. It was his 3rd yr I think last year, first finals, and he's matched up with the most dominant center since peak Shaq.

[edsellaurel]

It's always hilarious when Mad Dog brings in a history lesson lmao

[DecAllTimeAlways]

*1:30**-**1:38* The funniest thing I've ever heard on ESPN. I like how Mad said Mil-wa-keee! 🤣 Man, we need Mad Dog every Wednesday. He might get tiresome every day but he must come on ESPN weekly as bare minimum. Dude is a riot.

[thebigbeef]

Bro these two are absolute GOLD! Make Mad Dog the everyday !!

[mysterytissues]

Mad dog needs to be in first take ATLEAST once a week the chemistry with him and Stephen A is incredible

[salmonsauce]

I appreciate the history lesson and a lot of modern fans dismiss how great these old players were. The rules were different back then so they played a different style of basketball. But it’s outrageous to say that there aren’t great teams now. You have to respect both the old and the new

[Windmill]

Mad Dog brought that Skip Bayless troll energy we haven't seen on First Take for years. 🤣🤣

[CurtisBallard]

I swear Mad Dog is the only person that makes Steven A. break character and actually laugh instead of that fake Dallas sucks laugh 😂

[eliasnordin]

Maddog is a beast lmao. Keep him on the show, dude's a gem.

[slamandjam]

The Suns and Bucks are great in my opinion. Warriors are one tier below as it stands but can be great if fully healthy.
