This is why I like basketball players talking basketball. The more I hear you all talk the more it sounds like working in corporate America. Yeah go ahead and outshine your coworkers. They will start hating and put you on an island. If the manager feels like you are not with his program(bowing down and kissing the ring) even if you are exceeding performance bench marks he will either get rid of you or give you the “difficult to work with” label which stays with you throughout your tenure with the company

I love how he referenced the Get Out movie 😂😂

29:24 is the BIRTH of Gils Arena as we know it!!!💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

S/O my guy & Tar Heel LEGEND Rashad McCants! I remember him getting benched in Minny & I didn’t understand what happened. Good to see him speak his peace.

FANTASTIC interview!!! I loved Shad's energy and his chemistry with Gil was amazing! Would DEFINITELY love to see him back on the podcast!!!

I really want to hear him go in on Larry Brown and George Karl.....I also wanna hear his real perspective on playing at Carolina. He's one of the few players to appear as if he didn't like his time there.

Yeah. I want player explanations prioritized before old media💯

This convo was so needed cause we the fans, love this. So now we understand.

Top 5 episode hands down

Thanks for the timestamps.

this is a good interview, and Rashad was a good college player. the career could have went either way… i think these are the new wave of interviews, they have better stories.

Rashad McCants still had plenty of basketball left, hate he didn't get to finish out his career, he would've easily averaged 16-18 ppg, he was an AGGRESSIVE 2 Guard ALWAYS READY FOR A CHALLENGE, HE HAD THAT DOG 😡 IN EM.

Yo Gil, Ya’ll should put just a few foam pads on the wall. Ya’ll got a gnarly reverb in the room going on.

Take that you bully picking on Kobe all these years shaq.. give bean his credit and rightful spot in the top 4 Greatest players All Time Period

This room has a fat ECHO

This is a very good interview to help you understand the dynamics at play

This is why I don't pay attention to ESPN or any other nba all-time list , nba players always talk very highly of KOBE , 1-MJ 2-Kobe 3- don't care who you put lol

What about what happened in college with them grades

Bullshit why does everyone think that girl gave Odom his first pipe? 🤦🏾‍♂️

There's a typo in the description. "Basketnall"

Damn started off hot lol

I did wonder why McCants wasn’t getting any time in Minnesota. Now we know why.

🤔McCants Has Jamie Foxx Energy!!!…

I would have ate that up and balled out got a ring with Kevin on God 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 when the hate came!

Being a hooper from overseas i think that a ton of player here relate to these kind of stories. That’s why any smart player don’t listen to media instead looking to get information from players. There are a lot of things these media outlets don’t tell you cause themselves got relationships to ownership etc. It’s a fucked up game but I love how these former nba players are talking more and more.

Her name is miko grimes her husband is Brent grimes the ex corner from the Miami dolphins

@30:11 Is exactly how the majority of the world views it. I know he already knows that but damn somebody had to say it! 💯💯

The refs wow "You going give me some calls"

Respect the mentality 👏

Super foul...but how the game goes...people never get to hear how much these positions guys are in is not about talent, but being "allowed" to display their talent. There is a world where Curry is coming off someone's bench or out of the league if he didn't have a coach that believed early.

Love the talk but it seems like some guys can’t ‘read the room’ at times. 😂😂😂😂

The Kardashians show depicts them as caring , family oriented people, give to charity etc...

Gilbert Advertising Arenas

My man's started speaking truth on the Kardashians and how celeb status could get u big contacts and playing time *cough* Russel Wilson* and gil just deflects it... Why ask the question if y'all didn't rehearse the response? If y'all scared to touch on those subjects don't bring em up

Basketnall🤣🤣

Funny he saying the Kardashians fucked his career up but reggie bush career continued after kim Kardashian... shit he even won a super bowl after kim

I always thought what happened to Rashard McCants he was a good player nice size height I thought he was just another guy like his team mate Sean May he just wasn't made for the league not good enuff. Then when he said he avg'd 15 a game I said wait a minute I verified that he did and it was in his contract year there are Hall if Famers that avg'd 13-16 ppg so that's not bad for a kid on his rookie deal and on a team with talent so idk what happened

When he was talking about the Olympics… hes on the bubble with game winners… they aren’t the 1v1 take you on type or offensive juggernauts like gil kobe and wade but you still need role players in international play!!! So kirk and Bruce Bowen makes sense if you not really gonna be here gil lol 😆

Kirk never makes sense, ever.

Gilbert Arenas has a chip on his shoulder for some reason idk what the league did… also he says a lotta off the wall philosophical theoretical sh* t hw said "yeah they dont think a scorer is smart enuff to dial his game down There have literally been many scorers that sacrificed their shots and points for a fellow star DrJ did it for Moses in Philly Larry did it for DJ when he came to Bosotn they won 2 chips and went to four Zeke did it for Joe Dumars AD and Vinnie I could go on Paul Pierce Ray and KG all won chips so he is telling a personal experience and these things are prob the reason he has that chip…

IM sure this the first time many of us even knowing HE fuked with a Kardasian It is The case of someone who think and thought they were and are bigger than what they actually was and is YOU talking about her now for what reason so who using who name now
