I like when they actually agree on something. Makes the show seem less staged lol.

Molly messed up ESPNs bag this season....ppl wanna see Lavar on rn.

[dpfutbol]

Reverse the ban on Lavar Ball! WE WANT LAVAR!

[wesleymills]

Molly listening to them praise Lavar is dying to “switch gears” on the topic

[DKM_Sports]

Stephen A Smith calls so many players "special" it special to be "special" anymore

[urbaindelva]

I like Edwards a lot, but LaMelo's numbers (outside of scoring) are better across the board, he's more efficient, and he's leading his team to more wins. He's the current ROY to me.

Espn Sweating right now because they Banned the Man's father lmao

The clippers have 0 assets. How they plan on getting lonzo? They might as well be interested in dame Lillard as well

[theeverythingbros]

D Wade with HOPS?! Brooo D Wade had hops! He was shorter than edwards and that’s what made it look like he couldn’t get up as high as edwards. D Wade used to dunk on everyone. SMH

[kushlilordnme]

Molly don't get quiet now you the reason Lavar not on TV.

[tracyswrld]

Molly Looks Like She Was Gonna Cry When Steven A Smith Brought up Lavar lol

[XPXhumble]

They want to bring Lavar Ball so bad on the show but they can’t lmao

[Danny-yibf]

Molly burning up inside when SAS brings up Lavar... lol

[SwayingAce]

I’m glad to see the ball brother getting some love and seeing their father getting credit for being there. That’s the father I want to be for my son.

[bboystance]

Can we maybe get the rookie vs sophomore game back? This years rookies vs this years sophomores would have been pretty fun game.

[Visual_Ghoul]

Molly really wanted to switch gears, she had nothing to say.

[michaelmeza]

Melo’s also doing this as a 5th seed. Ant man is good but his team as at the bottom of the conference.

[LuckyDaVinci]

man i didn’t think melo would be this good

[Flashyfinancier]

Molly lookin like a very strict substitute teacher here.
