The fact that you have a television show in Gil’s basement with legit NBA/WNBA players being hosted by a D1 college hooper is legit the perfect formula for a basketball show. As long as the people on the couch are worthy of being there, this show is always gonna be hot.
Faxxx was thinking same thing
Its the best basketball show on the tube lets be honest great formula
@@haychhh6809what other shows are there that are strictly basketball? Because if u can’t name any this was a pointless comment
@@dreday1969 7Pm in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony, all the smoke, knuckle heads, KG certified, KG and Truth, Truth Lounge, JJ reddick podcast, RJ and Channing pod, Jaylen Brunson and Josh Hart Roommates, Tf you talking about it’s plenty Gil’s junt just so happen to be the best
The true hoop fan’s podcast right here
Mccants Said Brandon tattoo look like the nicca from Scream 😱 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 I wanna know what was said they cut it out
@@RazzyDreads nah deadass I’m sure Brandon was butthurt 🤣
IS IT OBVIOUS?!?!?! Rashad McCants has mastered what has kept Skip Bayless relevant on television all of these years.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂the funniest shit I seen in a min fasho
He’s a master contrarian, ge goes against the grain. And look he says thing that ppl are afraid to say. Lebron is such a whale in the industry everyone bows down to him
@warmbeergamingdude it's less about being afraid and more of thinking before you speak. McCants most times does not make much sense when it comes to LeBron
If im skip im trying to have A pod with him!!
Damn I fucking felt that shit from Nick when he said we all suffer why not help the dude so he don’t have to go thru the same bullshit
Sad mentality to have .. just like the ones who want to see you do well but not better than them ... I want EVERYONE in my circle to eat as much as they can , even if it's more than myself !
Forrral. He meant what he said too bc he the only one on the show with a 💍. Took the hand out for a chip
Bruh im crying, gil went to his daughter graduation but kenyon missed his… bro they go to the same school😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Cause Kenyon is a bad father lol
Naw 4real😂😆🤣🤦🏾♂️...they really do?
@@JustMAR510 They're not even the same age these losers just in the comments projecting their own trauma
cornball comment
It took everything out of Mccants to say cap on Luka bring better than Bron at 25😂😂😂
This reminds me of a 2k game on my career lol
Nah he just actually decided to think before speaking that time. Rashad literally defaults to the most hater shit he can think of and he wanted to make sure before he got clowned. Chat making fun of his head had him on a different energy.
Mccants “ nothing is given “ also mccants “ lakers was giving me the job u was just there “
Pat bev “ CAP” 😂
😂😂😂
You keeping score score🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the same thing 🤣🤣🤣😭
Damn!!! In my Kevin Hart voice.
Can’t really compare. He was already established in the league and fought through HS and college.
Nick young is the only one who has checked Kenyon and Kenyon actually laughed because it was real❤
Because he aint scared of him
I was wondering why they had Gil on the thumbnail with Waldo costume on 😂😂😂.
Wow how'd I miss that 😂😂
@@moechimusic3131😅😅
Rashad vs. Stephen A. would go viral omg 😂😂😂😂
Fuk SAS Everybody is tired of that grenadian trinidadian tether always doing what his jewish & anglo bosses tell him to do & that’s to relentlessly shit on Black American 🇺🇸 Men & NEVER KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY FOR WHITES. “Dana white is my friend”
But always got some fuck shit to say about Black Americans 🇺🇸 man Fk him 🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿🖕🏿
Mccants would get cooked cus most of the time his ass don’t even make sense. He just say shit to try be controversial. The show would be boring without him but he can’t have a REAL debate
@@kenwanmiles403you gotta be a troll. You do no no one actually takes Step A seriously. He gets paid to disrespect Black Men.
@@Artislife1992I haven’t seen him disrespect black men on ESPN but I did see him disrespect a black man on his podcast that he also stated he doesn’t like and have a certain type of dislike for. You must be a troll.
@@richardmatthews2807he’s definitely a troll the only black man SAS has disrespect was Jason uncle ruckus witlock
That struggle mentality is how a culture ends up throwing rocks at tanks.
I'm telling you that mentality is dead.
It’s easy to say that when you got a silver spoon and people to give you opportunities that people don’t have
I feel that but struggle builds character. I don't think a person shouldn't be given any assistance in their journey but it's important to have a person create successful off the strength of their own will. It builds self awareness, self esteem and you better understand how the world operates. Most iconic people we learn about in school had to go through long periods of struggle to become who they turned out to be.
I can tell Shad’s outcome still stings. He put everything into this hoop sht. I can only imagine the emotions. Hold your head up gang you made it to the LEAGUE. You a winner
He didn't put it all into it though. That was his problem.
His poor attitude does not negate his work ethic. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. If that’s the case then Bean and Jordan didn’t give it their all. Because they had terrible attitudes
He admitted to not giving his all & being distracted while in the NBA on top of having bad mentors
Show where he said that. You just talking
@@benbackpack9922 he said that in another episode .🤦🏿♂️ look it up
When Gil not there there like 3 different conversations going on 😂
Nick looked at Rashad and said "don't you wish you had the machine behind you"
Pause
It's definitely the best podcast. Infact, if any of the regulars decide to leave, I will be in a mood 😂. The energy is finely balanced alongside the occasional heated debate. And whoever put the Where's Wally fit on Gil deserves a raise lol
Hearing Kenyon talk gangster shit be so lame to me,
A gangsta in jean shorts in 2024 😂
What player with Bronnie's resume has the luxury to say I'm only working out with the Lakers and Suns???? Smh
Nepotism is a part of life. Y’all need to understand this and get over it. Life isn’t fair.
@@RonVanDam33 The nepotism isn't the problem...it's just a bad move not to lay out a wider net
@@RonVanDam33 it is, so why the crew acting like that’s not what’s going on here.
He never said that, he only wants to work out for teams that actually have a plan behind drafting him…
Exactly
Jeezy The recession doesn’t get enough flowers. You can listen to that from start to finish without skipping. Only other album I know like that is Get Rich or Die Tryin
Kmart had me rolling when he asked well did he ride with his 45 lol
McCants is romanticizing and celebrating the struggle like a lot of people do. It's not fun doing that. I'm sorry. I agree with Nick Young on that point. When I was struggling to get on my feet, I was lucky to be able to live with my parents and finally get to a point where I was able to be on my own. Safety nets are important if you have them because not everybody has that. Hell, I don't need to struggle to build good character. If you got the resources and connections, use them. Don't struggle if you don't have to. McCants sounds goofy.
PS: The show is much more peaceful without Gil yelling at the top of his lungs.
Gil has to yell cause mccants says the stupidest shit on planet earth
If bronny was averaging 30 nobody would care but he averaging 5. Lol media got power ppl lose all sight of reality and go emotional
Kenyon a number 1 pick Brandon was killing enough to go to the nba if he could from high school. Idk about young but this nig averaging 5 points and I doubt if the health scare was real.
@@PraisestoYah , I agree. Him being Lebron's son is the reason why he is even seen as an NBA prospect. It's like that sometimes .
@@Rqs79 obviously we see it happening but don’t try and lie to us like he been just killing and deserves to be drafted.
McCants kids gonna go ask everyone else on the couch
Kenyon: “So did KJ take the easy route?….I’m asking you”
Biggest setup question of all time 😹
Man i was waiting for the slip up too 🤣
McCants manuvered that one...
It's not even close to the Bronny situation. Kenyon wasn't still in the league with the option to go play for any team, and he was never close to LeBrons level. He also wasn't a billionaire with the money to throw around or the influence of Klutch sports to throw around.
Kenyons son also made the league on his own merits. Bronny wouldn't even be entering the draft if it wasn't for his father wanting to play with him before he retires.
KJ is a solid nba player
Rashad mcCants shows his ignorance and cowardice without fail
Rashad may think he sounds cool with the "not helping his son thing" but he actually sounds very ignorant. That's a very idiotic mindset
My father was the same way. I heard the "I had to walk 15 miles to get to school every day" story countless times. Smh.
Rashad's thought process "think of something that sounds like the 80s version of what's cool," now defend it to the death in spite of what anyone else says.
Welcome to gills arena
I think he just couldn’t articulate how long the way he needed to. I understand what he was trying to say. He’s not saying that he shouldn’t use his resources but if it’s being handed to you more than likely you won’t go as hard for it. They already feel like bronny has the talent but lacks the motor. Even Gil said it multiple times on this show. His lack of motor may be because he’s lived a soft life and it’s looking like everything is being handed to him… people don’t go as hard for stuff when comes to them easily.
Bronny had everything giving to him he never had to go get it so he won’t last in the league
NGL it'd be funny if they decided to do a skit at the beginning of the next episode where Gil comes back and he sees they made the business decision to remove him from the show. Got his name crossed out and replaced with Rashad. They even kick him out his own house LMAO. That would be hilarious.
lmaooo imagine. It'll be like when he got booted off his own team in the Big 3 all over again 😂😂
Gil missed for his daughter graduation but wanted Gobert to miss his child’s birth!!!🤣🤣🤣
Dude the kid was already born
He isn't competing for a championship. Huge situational difference
2 different things
@@nodaysoff2005his team had no issue with it. We love to tell people how they should live.
lol your equating a damn CZcams podcast to a championship run? You dumb as hell
Rashad hating so much, he forgot LeBron's life story 🤦🤦🤦
Can't lie The Arena flowed alright without Gil today, I think Swaggy P (Nick Young) should be a part of the rotation on the show, today's show was dope, good basketball conversation! 💯
It was a great show, Swaggy P is funny af!
Every new person y’all think needs to be added… They’re good as they are
@@CZcamsTroll38, I see you have the perfect name, I look at social media and all I see are fake names and fake pictures and bunch of negativity, MISERABLE, I don't think Swaggy is new he's been on The Arena a few times, Man our country is doomed, JUST A BUNCH OF SALTY MISERABLE PEOPLE, and it's sad...
@@CZcamsTroll38I see you have the right name, Man social media is soo toxic, nobody shows there face just come with the misery and the negativity, America is doomed because of people like you, not brave enough to show yourself, just hide and make negative comments, I swear REALNESS IS DYING, and I'm pretty sure Swaggy has been on a few times, he should be added to the rotation
Gil said on his personal channel swaggy is getting paperwork stuff situated he will be a regular on the show
Now this is why I can’t listen to Rashad. He literally sat there talking about he not a training wheels guy or whatever and saying he rather take the hard way. But he played 4 years in the league. While everyone else in the room that was in the league who said they glad they got an easier way to the league all played more than 8 years. Like what are you talking about bro
That's why they need to get rid of his dumb ass. That whole take was stupid.
BUSINES 101: if you walk away from your business and it still performs positively, then your business is legit. First Gils Arena episode without Gil, and it's popping. Gil got this business on lock
💯
Kenyon is trippin at no point you were a better offensive player than Blake griffin
Yea Blake was way better than Kenyon
Blake was all athleticism Kenyon was actually skilled offensively
Aye if we in practice and I’m busting yo ass(no diddy) everyday I’m definitely going to feel like I’m the better player lol nick even vouched for him. The real thing is that Kmart was just a more seasoned vet who was probably just smarter than Blake and used it to his advantage but he for damn sure ain’t have Blake’s talent lol
Stop it blake rookie year was better than kenyon best year offensively@DesmondPerry-kj1vk
K mart tripping
“Gil not here y’all we can be free” 😂😂
Someone tell KMart being loud doesn’t make you right
And take off the jean shorts 😂😂
they got to talk freely about lebrons son and lebron without gil
Brandon jennings talks more without gil trying to speak for him
Exactly. Gil just loves to yell for the sake of yelling. None of his points make sense to because he stretches the goalpost and goes off topic.
Gil is great on the Xs and 0s. He should stick to that
@@Sammyk94950Dawg, you under every thread. 😂😂😂😂 Mccants won’t you defending his honor.
@@nate8604 okay and you're defending Gilberts honor, so what's your point? I swear you're slow for commenting under my comments.
@@nate8604dude is one of McCants work lol McCants got a lot of work in the chat hugging his nuts 😂
Yalll killed that shit man shout out Gil for not being a sucker and cancelling the show and allowing his team to do what they do regardless.
Rashad killed me with the “That’s my girl naw that’s our girl.” That shit is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Update: Gil at Nick house beating up his kids 😂😂
😂😂
rashad “we heard you were bipolar” nick “shit, are you. *laughs*”💀💀
Craziest part is Kenyon and Mccants is both right. We all know end of the day Bronny has the advantage bc of Lebron
Now everybody gonna use the old nba narrative is Gil’s Arena better without Gil🤣🤣
It is better without Gil. They communicated like grown ups and nobody was yelling like a child.
@@Sammyk94950it’s not tho. No one has the credibility Gil has.
@@Sammyk94950I don’t know what y’all see in mccants. I guess he speak for every hater, and low-level achiever out there.
@@nate8604that’s a fact
It was but wasn’t I get it
K Martin and Rashad kills me😂😂😂
Cemetery Larry 😂😂😂 Hardest Name Ever
Needs a Garbage Pail Kid card.
My favorite is “The DreamKiller” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
BJ can't debate for shit 😭😭
Nick: Luka can’t run like Lebron, that’s a skill too 🤣🤣🤣
Kenyon missing his son's graduation and Gil taking time off for his daughters when their kids go to the same school is crazy. He could've gone 🤦🏾♂️
Fr that shi was awkward, everyone got quiet like wtf, looking around n shi. You even see josiah(the family man out of all of em) look like 🤨
It’s crazy how so many of yall lack any type of critical thinking skills. So just because their kids go to the same school it means their kids are the same age and are graduating on the same day? 😮Use your brain for once
@@richardstewart1416lol Kenyon literally said he has a son that’s graduating that day
the fact Luka in that convo shows we witnessing greatness 🤷
🤷 Is right.
LUKA CLEARS Lebron lol Lebron at 22 beat a 500 pistons team with no Ben Wallace in Leastern conference😂 and then averaged 22 pts on 36% shooting against Spurs in the finals😂 Luka at 22 23 smoked a 64 win team in second round in western conference with reggie bullock and dinwidie in his starting 5😂 Luka clears Lebum at any age and Luka will win the chip in few weeks at 25 then this debate will be over
@@blingthing5510who was James help, BTW that piston team was not 500 they literally just went to the finals. Plus tell Luka to play defense until then not debate but keep hating. 10 years he ran the east straight. I guess everyone in the east was terrible
@@TheTaekwon3 they won 53 games in Leastern conference you they wouldn't even make the playoffs in the west thats right east was weak way weaker than now it was the definition of Leastern conference back then. If lebum was so good then why he got exposed vs Spurs? He averaged 22 pts on 36% shooting in the finals and went ghost in the clutch cuz he couldn't shoot they treated him like Giannis lmao. Bagless layup merchant 😂 its more difficult to make WCF than to make the finals in Leastern conference even now let alone in 2007
Convo? Since when 🤣😂🤣
This shit getting better every episode 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was a dope episode fr!!!!🫡
This was like when the head dopeman in the trap leaves for "business" and the other dopeboys wait to reup😂😂
Lmaoo
We don't do 2pac slander
“Pass the peas” 🤣🤣
Kenyon gotta learn he’s not always right
Y’all gotta learn that that’s his opinion
@@youngreckless97 both yall right
@@nodaysoff2005I was gone say that lol they both right it’s a weird situation 🤣
It’s a room full of men they all right 😂😂😂
he is badass tough guy
You can tell Kenyon lowkey regretted and felt awkward about sayin he ain’t go to his son’s graduation lol
Nick the only dude to go back at Kenyon 😂
Nick is a certified gangsta on 🥧 ru
And he was right too, Nick is the man.
McCants does all the time. 😂
@@Bob-te3le McCants does more than anybody else, but you can tell he holds back a lil bit lol. His interaction with him ain’t like it is with Gil
Brandon over there looking pressed sitting next to Kenyon, especially when he didn’t agree with some of his takes lol
Even missed the peas on the floor reference from him😂😂😂
2:08:36 I am Legend baby. 🤣😆
bffr this the best gil's arena episode till date.
Bro started thinkin, if he should be at his son graduation 😂😂😂
What’s with the jump cuts likethat episode of futurama
Kenyon saying that he was better tham Blake.. In 2011-2012 😂😂😂 bro delusional
Kenyon, Blake was 2nd Team All NBA that season.
Never in his career was he better than Griffin Kenyon had no bag cardio guy.
Blake didn’t have a bag either
@@DesmondPerry-kj1vk your a casual Blake griffin bag expanded every year until hurt in Detroit I’m not even a big fan but Kenyon is not better not close
😅
Kenyon was definitely better than Blake, yall crazy. 🫠🫠
25:17
I’m glad BJ shouted out Russ.
K mart definitely not better than Blake. But they let him have his moment
GIL YOU OWE RUDY GOBERT AN APOLOGY 😭🤣
it officially mccants arena now !
move around gil
HAha that foo said they got ozempic!!!!! Good shit dude
1:36:55 “you gotta be able to run”😭😭😭nick young is hilarious
Rashad be on the right side of the argument, but then say something stupid unrelated to the argument, smh.
Songs In The Key Of Life is in my personal top 3. I absolutely LOVE Stevie Wonder.
27:50 Nick Young so kind here, look at how he defends the kids. ❤ xD
I like the Nick Young-Kenyon Martin banters! Hahaha! 🤣🤣🤣
Mcjealous never takes accountability
Get off Lebronicas nuts , bro
LMAO @ Mcjealous
Pistons cavs lebron last 25 pts?
Setting up your defender with change of direction. Skill
Finishing with ur off hand. Skill
Setting up your first step with faints to blow by defenders. Skill
Double teamed jumpers. Skill
Size up stepback jumper. Skill
Behind the back square up jumper. Skill.
Fts. Skill.
I think Kenyon actually forgot that 25 straight.
Great episode yall💯
Missed opportunity the show should’ve been Rashad’s arena this week.
Rashad needs counseling, why should Bronny not take advantage of the benefits his dad's hardwork afford him, apparently somewhere along the way Jay-Z cut him off and that still bothers him, make me wonder were him and Jay-Z lovers🤔
Hood mentality. Normal people in the world want their kid to have it better than they had it
Lot of Gil hate is krazy 😭
Gil's my guy, f*ck what everyone else saying. I aint even finna watch this episode since he aint in it.
All the gil hate all coming from McCants work, McCants got a lot of work in the chat and most of them are dudes 😂
Why does Nick have a flask?! Gil really fucked my boy up lol
This episode turned out to the homies just chillin hahahahahaha
They let L mart talk too much this episode
Thriller should be #1 album of all time
Great episode!!!!
Nick needs to be a regular on this show, much better than BJ.
You see & hear why Rashard didn't last longer than 5 years in the nba. Extremely arrogant & ignorance and don't like to listen. Difference between arrogant and ignorance. Rashard is both. At times he make solid points, but overall Rashard is needed for the show.
I love kenyon but damn he be FEELING HIMSELF!!
Bring the blunts back
did they use to smoke on the show ?????
Album back for the first time Ludacris album is underrated as hell
Never seen kenyon be so confident in being wrong whike arguing with nick you really can work on it that’s why you see 5’8 dunkers
Never in Kenyons career was he better than Blake griffin
That’s actually debatable 😂
@@richardmatthews2807 it’s not at all. Stat wise, play making, rebounding, post moves, ball handling nothing. Have you seen kenyons shooting form? He was a better defender but that’s it.
@@willmcquitter8985that "but" is a big deal
@@willmcquitter8985better player or better career. Gotta be specific. Kmart was touching the finals
- Fasho Debatable , Kenyon Onna Nets & Nuggets WAS ELITE Yall Be Just Having Short Term Memory
Wtf is kenyon talking about! Lebron is highly skilled. He scores in iso mostly and has consistently since year 2. Saying “go look at the 25 straight vs the pistons in 07” and having it be Lebron going 1 on 5 with 18 of the 25 being long twos and threes is comical. YOU go watch it.
Bag is limited
He does NOT score consistently in iso that’s a lie
Yea Keyon bag was extremely limited
To this day Lebron doesn’t have a go to move in the clutch. That’s been the biggest flaw in his game
@@amenx you’re lying. It’s one of the rare times you can watch highlights and see it happen. At this point you’re being willfully ignorant to say he doesn’t. Just type any random game and you’ll see but if you want specifics or some of my personal favorites . 51 vs the magic 2011 bc it was pretty much island work all jumpers.
Yo, this is edited , I feel like I am missing all the fun
Great show fellas!
That 30:00-35:00 was a great discussion
Mccants is weird with this whole Bronny, Lebron energy
He always weird on most things tho...
Great episode
BRON JUMPED OVER SOMEONE ON A LOB
Gil needs to take more days off
Show went way smoother without him
💯 take the whole week off
Hell Yeah this episode was Good
Didn’t know bj had that head tattoo… won’t ever look at him the same
The fact I can watch a whole 2 hours and 30 mins. Is crazy. Keep it up yall. Gil is crazy
MORE EPISODES LIKE THIS Tell Gil Take Some Days Off Word
Got helly respect For Gil but he interrupts too much, particularly when he's in his feels. Show was pretty synchronized today.
Kenyon just be yelling and not listening. It's annoying fr
These conversations flow so well it took me a whole hour to realize Gil was missing 😂
This was a good jawn, Brandon stepped up a little this episode
