Gil's Arena Reacts To Kawhi Leonard Leaving Team USA
Спорт
Gil's Arena Reacts To Kawhi Leonard Ditching Team USA as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew discuss Kawhi leaving Team USA to focus on preparing for the upcoming NBA Season and debate if Derrick White was the right person to take his spot over guys like Jaylen Brown & Kyrie Irving. Next, they discuss Ja Morant finally being cleared to play from his season ending shoulder injury and break down how Ja's return along with the addition of Zach Edey sets the Memphis Grizzlies up for a big bounce back season in the NBA's Western Conference. Then, they react to Kevin Durant shutting down trade rumors surrounding a potential departure from the Phoenix Suns and discuss the current state of the Miami Heat, as the once strong culture has spent another offseason not making moves around Jimmy Butler and losing role players like Caleb Martin due to not having a winning culture. Finally, the crew ranks their top 6 teams in the Western Conference for 2025 in a new Paper Champs segment. Please give us a Like & Subscribe!!!

McCant's has grown on me. This pod is boring without his ridiculous takes. He's so stubborn too, just like Arenas. Great chemistry. I also like how he hates on LeBron for real. Not just faking it for clicks like skip bayless. Myself i've been a fan of the king's game but i respect an honest opinion anytime even when i think it's wrong.

Josiah, you’re a good host, but please stop being like espn. Josiah puts in the narratives and opinions that the media creates and brings it in the arena for their opinion on drama. Josiah …keep it moving for us, stop injecting the drama behind it. Gil questions it every now and then “who said that? Who is they” he’s right. I like Gil’s arena for NO BS narratives. Yes maccants hates lebron but it’s obvious (pun intended 😂). Josiah and the producers are no better, over the last 7 months or so, the questions have been way more drama based than actual basketball or player perspectives behind the scenes. That’s what makes this show great, no drama or narratives. It’s changing and turning into every other basketball pod if we keep going down this route. Been a fan since no chil Gil had the white boy as the host so no hating here, genuinely want Gil’s arena to thrive.
