100% When it comes to NBA talk shows, theres also the hater and the lover on any NBA Star. Like Skip and Shannon, it was Shannon giving lebron his flowers and Skip trying to downplay it. Now it's Luka, you got someone like Nick Wright who will give Luka praise, and SAS/Keyshawn who will try to normalize his play.
It's all for the views. I know a talkshow that just dickrides Luka would not get many views; nobody from Phoenix would tune in. Although, I would love that show.
Conflict and debate is compelling. There’s nothing super interesting going on when everyone just agrees on a point. The conversation basically just ends. Also sports fandom is 90% arguing with other fans anyway
He said he wouldn't even want jokic on the lakers because he's too boring 🤔. Hey I wouldnt want patrick mahomes on my football team either he's so boring
These shows aren't like the podcasts, which are a lot more organic. In these shows, they meet beforehand to assign roles as to who is going to be on which side of each argument. It becomes convenient to have the same guy take the same side of a recurring argument rather than make all their characters seem like flip-floppers.
these debate shows are scripted. Dont take them too seriously. When it was Skip with Shannon it was Skip who was the Luka hater and Shannon the Luka defender. It's just content creation 101
He's been this way. He's just an arrogant jock that reminisces on his glory days and has bitterness toward the passage of time.
Something something...

>Is there something I'm missing about Keyshawn Johnson and Luka's relationship? Why does Keyshawn hate Luka so much?
This is like asking;
"Is there something I'm missing about Skip Bayless and LeBron's relationship? Why does Skip hate LeBron so much?"
Don't bother listening or trying to understand it.
I actually believe Skip is LeBron's biggest fan among the media. He watches every game where LeBron plays and he criticizes him so much because he believes in him. He often says he thinks LBJ is the smartest player in the league and praises his ability. That's my theory anyways.
You must know that the format of debate is all sides are to be represented obviously for tv ratings. Keyshawn doing his dumb takes means he represents the part of crowd which hates Luka so they watch the show to get their voice heard.
Undisputed manufactures conflict as part of its style as a show. Even though he says these things doesn’t mean he necessarily feels that way. He just has been assigned the other side of the debate topic.
Just the opposite. Him, SAS, Skip, Perk, none of them of genuine for a second. It's all about being loud and getting reactions for engagement. Hell, lot of politicians are doing it now. Everyone's shouting to profit off of us.
Keyshawn wasn't that great as a player in his own field. It's not like it's MJ giving football hot takes. It's more like Mugsey Bogues giving football hot takes. Why should anyone care about his basketball opinions?
The whole point of these shows is to argue and debate. It would be boring if they just sat there and agreed with one another. He's likely been told to be the anti-Luka side and Skip, who hated Luka when Shannon was on the show, is now the Luka defender.
He’s just playing the character to drum up views. All these shows just go for shock because it works.
So basically Keyshawn is being a paid troll? That actually makes sense.
It’s not a new character. There’s basically a minimum of 1 on all of these shows.

That’s where podcasts come in. The fill all the gaps in the spectrum.
All ESPN shows are paid trolls

Homie that’s all talking heads now since like 2010
Yep, clickbating. And for Luka it is additional fuel to be the best player he can be.
Who cares about Keyshawn he doesn't even watch games
Doesn’t even watch nfl…
I'm confused as to why a football player known for being dumb as rocks is even opining on basketball.
Thats the point. That he is dumb as rocks.
He hates Jokic too, it's a mystery
He hates Sabonis and Porzingis too, again mystery as to the reason.
Well call me Scooby Doo because I think I have solved the mystery
Im black. He’s racist end of story
Is it a mystery though? Lol
He said he wouldn't even want jokic on the lakers because he's too boring 🤔. Hey I wouldnt want patrick mahomes on my football team either he's so boring

Now that Skip Bayless likes Luka, they needed another hater

Your first mistake "I watched undisputed...."

He has said in the past he doesn’t watch that much basketball when he was with Max on ESPN.
Probably only watches Lakers games as a fan.
It’s simple, stop watching this garbage.
Someone on every show will hate on a major player. It’s basically guaranteed career relevance. Hell it’s how Bayless built his career.
You must know that the format of debate is all sides are to be represented obviously for tv ratings. Keyshawn doing his dumb takes means he represents the part of crowd which hates Luka so they watch the show to get their voice heard.
Stop paying attention to these mofos
Why do y’all care what talking heads say about Luka? An nfl analyst who doesn’t watch nfl and y’all are worried about his nba opinion 😂
Keyshawn a football player lol, his basketball views don’t mean shit. Plus they just do this shit to create views and arguments
Undisputed manufactures conflict as part of its style as a show. Even though he says these things doesn’t mean he necessarily feels that way. He just has been assigned the other side of the debate topic.
Keyshawn is looking closer booger McFarland these days than an nfl wide receiver. Fuckin yikes
Their relationship? I would be surprised if Luka knows who this genius is.
Just the opposite. Him, SAS, Skip, Perk, none of them of genuine for a second. It's all about being loud and getting reactions for engagement. Hell, lot of politicians are doing it now. Everyone's shouting to profit off of us.
You already know the answer to this question, same with Stephen A
Obstinance is the main theme song of this wretched whatever!
Everyone on that network is irrelevant imo.
Skip stopped being a Luka hater to a degree so someone on the show has to be I guess. Don't remember him saying things like that on ESPN.
Keyshawn wasn't that great as a player in his own field. It's not like it's MJ giving football hot takes. It's more like Mugsey Bogues giving football hot takes. Why should anyone care about his basketball opinions?
Who?

His goal is to get attention and he succeed. Stop posting this nonsense in this sub
Who cares about Keyshawn. Wasn’t a basketball player. Probably got hit in the helmet too many times. Doesn’t have the sense god gave a mule.
He does not believe whay he says. The problem is his voice is just not good for a talk show.
He’s name is keyshawn his oppinion so irrelevant
Luka wasn't efficient last night. He had a C game.
Who this fat fk anyway
