Rod hit the nail on the head: disrespect is a new form of currency.........
Facts no morals
It originated in sports In wrestling and boxing. 50 cent took it took the next level in how to rob the song that made him famous and all that applied then and applies now in hip hop.
Sports media today is just a money-grab. Rod is right.
The truth is disrespect now. He didn’t talk about his career. He broke down clip by clip why Hakeem wasn’t teaching them anything impactful
@@LaMar34_34 It's Gil's approach or his delivery that's a major turn off to me & prolly most other folks.
He talks as if he & his teams did major work together!!
He constantly speaks on individualism!!!😐😐😐😐
'WHEN IT COMES TO THE LEGENDS .. I WATCH MY MOUTH' .. 'I HAVE A PROBLEM DIGGING AT PEOPLE WHO HAD A BETTER CATEER THAN ME' - ROD STRICKLAND
When you say that, have you looked at what Gilbert earned during his career?
@@NWACaneCorsosGilbert Arenas and Hakeem Olajuwon is no comparison about who was the better player or who had the better career. Not even close.
@destencumby137 Gilbert was not a slouch like most channels make him out to be. He was a serious problem on a lot of teams. Our hometown guy Joe Johnson gets the same kind of rap you giving Gilbert. Joe Johnson was a killer
@@NWACaneCorsosbut yet nowhere the level of hakeem
So charging a young nba player 50 bands is a right way to do things? Like what
Rod and baron Davis are two of the most underrated KILLERS that laced up a pair.
Steve Francis too
yes!!!!@@RevolutionWillnotBTalevi-sw5vh
100%
Rod Strickland giving real intelligent basketball statements 💯
No, he's giving passive neutral humble opinions. I prefer raw and uncomfortable facts. I can't stand when people coddle and fluff instead of being factual and telling it like it is whether you like it or not.
@@younglove3362 He is giving neutral answers but it’s big difference between that and what Gil be doing on his podcast. Gil give his opinion but it be kinda biased asf I don’t think some of the old goats are as good as history tell us but he be trying to bash old dudes for what they did in their time
@@younglove3362 Meh...I thought he was pretty adamant about Jaylen Brown needing to work on his left hand. His thoughts on the amount of criticism guys get from regular folks and ex players was on point to me too. He's clearly not into the "hot take" thing or intentionally making shocking statements outta nowhere.
I never thought we’d live in a world where NBA greats are criticized regulary. Imagine growing up in the 80’s and 90’s and thinking yo one day some kids will attempt to poke holes in Jordan going 6-0 in the Finals and his overall resume. Society is losing its critclical thinking skills. Dream is like a head corner stone in NBA history while Gilbert is just a chipped piece of cement barely visible to the naked eye.
Virtual reality
Lol Gilbert has a point he finessing them boys
@@donscoopez3942 You wish. The ironic thing is Gilbert wasn’t great in any era so for him to be so full throated is laughable. He was a rookie in 2001 so for him to speak so negative about an era not so far removed from his playing days is foolish. We should all know why this is done now. To appease one man and one narrative. Lebron has missed the GOAT mark badly and his career is all but over so his surrogates are out trashing 80’s and 90’s basketball non stop. Even when Kobe was ascending this wasn’t happening. There was always a reverence and respect for the legends of the game.
Straight up
Man you summed it up perfectly. You're exactly right!
I sometimes wonder whether people realized how good Rod Strickland was. One of the best penetrating guards I have ever seen and he could finish with the best of them at the rim or making a pass.
Same way people forget how good Gilber was.
Kyrie b4 Kyrie
He was one of the best Finishers in the paint! Very Creative around that Basket.
He was feared because he was cold. The things he did to my squad still brings tears to my eyes.
The things that Gill misses is if mama asks you who did you beat today since you going all that bragging and she finds out you beat someone no bodies she is kicking somebody's ass.
It is not about what was won. It is about who you beat. Ever time Gill screams day is all bums he points foo, foo, and foo of Dem fingers at himself.
Exactly! Strick was very good at penetrating to the hoop. Quick and smooth too.
That's why I always liked Rod. He never changed. A humble killa. His brother Byron is a good dude too and a killa on the court as well
Humble doesn't equal truth. Gilbert may not have said stuff people like, it doesn't mean he's wrong. I rather live in a disrespectful world than a fake one. 🙄
@@younglove3362 knock it off.
I'd take Rod Strickland over Gilbert EVERYDAY. RESPECT EARNED.
n TWICE on Sunday😂😂😂
Nah
Of course..that’s not even a hard decision
No way.
I’m taking Gil
Real talk from a real dude. He should have been a multiple Allstar.
Passive humble coddle fluff. Nothing truthful or authentic. Everyone needs to be criticized because nobody is perfect. If you feel differently then you're delusional and don't like hearing facts.
Rod is my favorite PG next to Magic, and yes, I saw them both in their primes.
Hello! Rod's my guy. In my opinion, he was underrated.
@@nicolecole9801 Very. Inarguably the best player to never make an all-star squad.
Me too
Gotta love Rod Strickland’s take on a number of things. The old school mindset and way of thinking is becoming lost nowadays but I still see unlimited value in it. Always was a fan of him coming up also, I’m now 36 years old.
Rod was a magician around the basket.
Kyrie’s godfather in real life.
Love Rod Strick... Heavy Respect to him for his career, yes, but never forget the man he is and exemplifies. 💯👊🏽💪🏽
Rod is from a different era. An era in which people were raised with a basic respect for every human being and then that 2nd lv of respect that's earned.
That era was filled with scum bags as well
@MrSilus2000 even the scum bags had some respect and would stop playing dice or cursing around and old lady. Now they punching them for fun.
@@anthonypierre2094 Black people aren’t a part of any era they exist huddled together surrounded by very artificial and primitive people that try everything to corrupt them
@@anthonypierre2094🧢 y’all was the once selling dope where’s the respect in that
@Atribecalledsuccess never sold dope homie and that's been going on forever. No labs in the hood. Dope ain't made here, so who's really selling it?
What's that got to do with ppl have respect?
Gil will praise the old school players out of one side of his mouth but then bash them out the other.
Drake syndrome. For the young niggas
And alotta the old heads do the same, and I'm 42
Never bashed him just said he shouldn’t charge youg players 50 bands for a travel workout😂. Yall be mad over a call out but miss the fact hakeem charging players for travel workouts
@@TheKingofsoccorthey don't call travels anymore just watch lbj wait he calls it crab dribbling or harden quadruple step back foh lol
@@TheKingofsoccor What's $50K for one week to Giannis?
Rod was a beast, I watched his career ever since his days at DePaul.
Truman HS
Yes sir. That school is humongous. Coop City @@colinbrown8500
Gil is an intentional pessimist. Just treat it like a comedy show.
That's an insult to all pessimists.

Rod Strickland is very coherent, direct, thoughtful in his commentary. I enjoyed this video.
"When it comes to The Legends, I watch my mouth!"
PERIOD.
John Stockton was lethal. Lot of fundamentally sound and great players from back then.
Dam listening to Rod speak with respect and common is much appreciated love and respect to strict
SALUTE to my guy Rod Strickland; one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE players!!
'There is nothing more intoxicating than victory, and nothing more dangerous.'
Excellent video I want to see more of this
A lot of younger kids need to watch this video, 'cause Rod is teaching here. His point about today's defense is spot on - in the past, you needed to have a pretty good handle because guys were able to be more physical with you. Today, the rules have been changed to minimize the impact of defensive players - as a result, being able to dribble effectively with both hands, isn't a required skill.
Strickland n Kenny Anderson my all time favorite point guards
I'm happy for my brothers. Keep up the good work 👏 much success
When you hear Gil speak, it seems that a player's worth is based on the money he makes. Its a coping mec for him dealing with his own career. As long as he is paid, a ring ain't the thing. But he knows in the back of his mind that with the talent that he had, he had left a lot of meat on that bone. Last point about old school stars. Gil wasn't a alive to see a lot of them in their era, BUT they were and are alive to see his era and have the right to compare if they wanted. For example, I have seen the whole arc of Jordan's carrer in basketball, and even Lebron's. I have seen stars miss shots, but when all you have are highlights on youtube, then you miss the nuances of what made those players special. Gil act like Jordan's career began in the 90's. I tell people all of the time that my favorite Jordan, was when he had hair! LOL That's when the culture of Jordan was born, before the Chips.
Gilbert tells it like it is. Most people can't stand hearing truth. That's the problem with people like you. Facts don't care about your feelings. If it's true and factual then it doesn't matter if it's disrespectful. If you don't accept facts then you're just delusional.
@@younglove3362Not at all. I believe what the person said above you actually has a point, and you may be missing it (while l the next delusional). Plus, many like yourself (in which I'm now 31), would probably not know how to operate back then too, too loose nowadays. Your mind has to be a bit more open-minded when considering true morals and upbringing, and that's on the seed of King 🤴🏿 David . But yeah, you get my drift. Life is not as simple as y'all think it was on top of knowing how to hoop AND defend yourself at same time.
Why do y’all love bringing up the 90’s when Jordan was literally a superstar FROM DAY 1 He was drafted Late 80s and Was The MEGA star of the league. I’ve seen the documentaries he was a one man show before Scottie even came. Y’all delusional fr Jordan was going to be the greatest no matter what. Actually if he got drafted to LA he would probably have 10 damm championships. Why tf are y’all so delusional like he wasn’t the greatest player and most INSANELY competitive player to ever play the game. Lebron Not on that level because he didn’t grow up batting LARRY JORDAN!
@@yeelahowah7476sound like some inferiority shit to me 🤷🏾♂️😂😂 Greatness is never boring. But this fabrication nowadays especially Lebron career is definitely BORING and overrated asf. 🤦🏾♂️ Nobody can Pass Mike & Kobe ever simply because they had the Most Will to WIN. Period.
Gil was born in 82’ he saw the greats. He’s a chump who messed his career up.
Droppin knowledge and truth. Much respect to Rod!
Rod you are one of the greats Sir. Amazing poise and stature. We would love to see more of you.
Great interview guys this is a great direction interviews like this people like this interviews like this will set you a part from the rest and very interesting questions you guys asked rob. I enjoyed the clip.
Really enjoyed this. You have earned yourself a new subscriber
CLASSIC INTERVIEW 💯
Mad respect to these guys bagg''en a interview with thee NYC Point God....
Y’all do know this is the man who taught Kyrie how to dribble( I might be over exaggerating a bit)! He’s his godfather and when you go back and watch Rod’s game, Kyrie’s is STRIKINGLY similar!
Great to see Rod. I debated people growing up on his handles. He was sick wit it
Man I still love Rod Strickland! Dude was cold! Mad Respect to this Brotha!!! 💪🏾
Rod, Right on! That's Wisdom. Young players take head and the general public
Good conversation
i never heard Strickland speak... very wise brotha
Same here and I'm from san Antonio
yo bagfuel...i see y'all. salute.
Magic Kareem and Showtime aka Western Conference All Stars got bounced by a team in the playoffs whose best player only played basketball for like eight years at that point GOAT status
Dream’s 1985-86 stat lines :
Season :
23.5 ppg/11.5 rpg/2.0 spg/3.4 bpg
WCF :
31.0/11.2/2.2/4.0
Finals :
24.7/11.8/2.3/3.2
Keep in mind that he was a SECOND year player 🤷🏾♂️
Yet he never won a championship under the Showtime watch while they were winning three in the first four years of his. Flukes (like 1986 WCF) happen. Or as Wesley (Sidney) said in White Men Can't Jump: "The sun even shines on a dog's ass every once in a while. Anybody can win the lottery."
People forget about that. That's why all these dudes just talk shit, and are full of it at the same time.
Rod has always been a real one both on and off the floor. Dream is my childhood idol and I remember watching that block in the 94 playoffs when I was a kid. Rod used to play good against the Rockets though. Respect to the brother.
well spoken legend!!! He gets it, always remain humble and respectful...Unc Rod is a legend himself too!
When Arenas made those asinine comments about Dream I deleted all his podcasts and anything to do about him because I knew he didn't know sh*t about basketball. Now Strickland on the other hand, I'd subscribe to his podcast because of one thing he said. He basically said he couldn't criticize someone who had a better career than him. Smart man, a new voice of reason for the serious basketball heads.
So what you're saying is that you're emotional and can't stand hearing factual truths about people. Got it.
@@younglove3362 very emotional. Hakeems training has worked for ONE guy out of 4 so far. Just Kobe - a genius. Didnt work for Dwight, didnt work for Lebron, and didn't work for Giannis. You can be an all time great, but that doesn't make you good at teaching the craft. That's why we rarely see greats as skills trainers. Harsh truth
He didn’t criticize his playing career. He talked about how he was training. And nothing Gilbert said was wrong
I love Rod Strickland ❤ I met him a few years ago but he is 1000% correct, we put value on what we want to pay for and second point is correct as well you can never dis a man who had a better career than yours as a player
Good stuff from a true baller!!!!
Rod: I have a problem criticizing players that had a better career than me.
Hosts: So what do you think of John Stockton?
In the 90s both Gary Payton and Rod Strickland would speak of John Stockton with respect. He was smart, efficient, and very tough.
People confuse being fancy with being good. If you do twenty moves and make a dude fall down and then you score that's 2 points. If Stockton does one move, just enough to make space and then scores it's also 2 points. Handles are overrated. You just need enough to get to your spot.
@@markgonzalez4199 I agree. How’s that remotely related to my comment tho?
Stockton was crazy efficient with his game. He was fundamentally astute and had a high level of court awareness as a point guard. There was nothing really flashy about his game, and it didn't have to be. But like many greats, they ran into the Chicago Bulls dynasty at the wrong time.
@@c.r.9426 💯
Great take Rod!!!
This is one of the best NBA videos I've ever seen.
Disrespect has become the currency for clicks.
Most honest non biased comment. Disrespect and disagreement from both older and younger generation
One of my all time fav players!
Rod used to be at the Go-Gos all the time in DC, chillin ... 💪🏽💪🏽 my guy
I remember Rod one of the greatestever point guard he was tight NY Bronx in the 80's to DePaul and in the nba respect💯. Cool still today❤
Good show
I never laid down I didnt want people thinking they hurt me ..............much respect warrior
Respect 🙏
Agree do more Q&A analysis was spot on!
well said rod! and this man was a killa!!
one of my fave, rod Strickland all class
Props to Rod. Real stand up dude. Watched him in his prime. Different age different game.
Gil will advocate throwing 💰 away partying but investment into your craft is dumb to him.
Paying a dude 50k to teach to you travel is a good investment? Name one current player successful using any of dreams moves
Travel? Hell in todays game people can take 4-5 steps to the hoop or jump backwards two times to shoot a jumper. Cmon Man!
@TheMaddThinker-ix8qx that's only for the superstars buddy. No ones paying too see giannis do the the dream skake.
@mitchy2311 Let us guess. You parents were siblings or first cousins. And Gilbert Arenas is your twin brother.
What a dumbass. 🙄🤦♂️🙄🤦♂️🙄🤦♂️
I take Rod all day everyday..and I'm from DC(although we all knew Rod was here part time..Gil is a story we've all heard broke our ❤)
Real dude droppin' real gems! Funny thing about Rod talkin' bout handle and his Godson got that thing on a string!
When is tge full pod dropping missing great opportunity
For all thise who dont know,Rod Strickland was a beast in his day,and still as solid as he was when he played,salute bruh
Well said Mr Strickland 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Rod Strickland good Miami Heat point guard
I met rod Strickland in a chicken spot here in Metro Atlanta.... He is such a humble down to earth brother.... He was so underrated as a player but he was a hell of a player.... But nicer gentleman
It's great to hear Rod give his take on certain players.. Very underrated player with a great basketball IQ
🔥🔥🔥
Rod was underrated by teams. That floater and getting into the lane...bruh that dude was nice. Even when my boy dream blocked that shot he knew it was do or die because that was Rod on the other end
Rod tha God. NYC legend. Absolute legend. He was a PROBLEM. Take anyone to the cup at any time.
Rod , pearl Washington
Sherman Douglas and Kenny Anderson are some of the best pg I watched growing up Rod is one of the reasons Kyrie handles is good
Boogie down BX legend...Harry S. Truman's finest...co-op city stand up!!! He's underrated and unappreciated most casual NBA fans
I'm here!!!!
I could listen to Rod all day.
Rod is a Legend. Period
Late Tommy Heinsohn used to have basketball camp--Hakeem and McHale film was his instruction on great footwork.
Holy sh!t! ROD!!!!!! I used to think I was him when I was a kid. His handles and waves was on point. A lil boss in the game. I love this dude yo. Thank you for this
Coach Strickland is gonna bring Brooklyn Basketball back on the map
Rod the God had then controlled handles at all times. Always looked smooth. Hated to watch him play my team but love to see him play
Rod is on point...
Real G
Rod has spoken!
Hot Rod dropping knowledge.
Respect those who came before you, especially when you watched and learned from them.🙏🏾
Rod was one of my favorite players.
Gilbert Arenas is an example of that generation who were raised by my generation (I'm 51 years old) with the desire to give them the things we weren't able to enjoy when we came up but we failed to give them what we DID get and that was a foundation of respect, manners and decorum when it comes to our elders and people in general. Gilbert knows better, we know he does, and he himself knows. He's trying to create a character and schtick to stand out from other athletes on social media. It's sad but I can't even be upset
Word, well said.
A real one
Lebron definitely has no bag but he's become the all time leading scorer by putting his head down and either dunking, layup, or freethrows. So what does it matter if you can't go left or right when a dude with two left feet can pass Kareem
😂 you’re gonna have the LeLicks coming at your head, kid. LeBron definitely doesn’t have good footwork. He travels and carries the ball a lot, and really doesn’t have a true go to move, or spot on the floor, if you may.
Leave basketball assessments to real BB players hater. LBJ drives to the left better than 98 percent of the league.
@@tellthetruthrightnow then that speaks to the talent deficit this generation has and not Lebron's greatness.
Rod Strickland was a bad dude back in the day. Dude was a complete point guard.
Did y'all listen to what Gilbert said? Because he asked the question that nobody is answering who got better and I love Hakeem that's my favorite player ever
Kobe? And don't say name someone else bc you will nit-pick all day smh Hakeem footwork will be effective to whoever is a dog and puts in the work no shit right? Y'all act like working with a great means you will be great or their super powers will automatically rub off on you... Um no thats not how this works but it is worth a try to most ppl y'all bugging bro just admit Gil hating on this one fam let Hakeem make some bread quit hating
LeBron didn't have a back to the bucket game or post game until he started playing with Hakeem. Look at his career growth and development from young LeBron open floor to where he can bust your ass wherever on the floor.
@@marvielledunson1445 can’t use kobe or Melo or bron because they already had good footwork…name the 20 years of big men who went to him who got better? Footwork is something you have to start developing as a kid you can’t go to Hakeem at 30 and become elite in 2 weeks lol it’s not hating if I can back it up with facts
@@brandonwilson9101You can use them. Yes good footwork. But back to the basket moves? That all came from summers with Dream. There’s video footage of each of them getting some teaching on back to the basket.
@@brandonwilson9101 the problem is nobody asked him about pocket watching two grown men and trying to say that hakeems moves wouldn't work in todays game. They work, people u
se them every game. I got my entire post game watching hakeems workouts. so did melo and kobe and bron. Multi Millionares. Why didn't they go train with Gil? was he never asked? okay.
Rod is exactly right. You have to respect the legends. Todays stars would not be where they are without the guys that helped to evolve and grow the game through the years.
Strickland has a lot of class and he was a great ballplayer.
Rod just dropped some truth bombs 💣💣💣 on Gil and the rest of folks that disrespect the greats!!
Rod Strickland was an instant fast break aka Push It Down Your Throat 🏀🏀🏀
Are used to play ball with hot rod Strickland in the mid 80s we went to the same school district one of the class youth dude ever always respectful typical old-school Bronx dude Uk just call Pat love dad boy what a class act do you want to see a class act then see Strickland
Make sense to me Rod.
Think about it on a rational level. Whenever Giannis struggled in the playoffs, it was in the half court when teams clamped down and collapsed on him in the defense. With Hakeem, he’s developing skills that will help him combat this.
Arenas is looking at this from his mindset which a 3-point, shoot from the outside mentality. He’s not even considering a slower, half court type of game.
