Out of date.

@PattyTheBaddy LeBron used Hakeem to sharpen his footwork & polish his turnaround fadeaway jumpshot that he uses to this day so how is it outdated?

I Love Gil but Damn he wrong 😑 Do he know who the DREAM was????
Former NBA Finals MVP, former Defensive player of the year, 12x All Star, 9x NBA All Defense, WTF has Gilbert Arenas ever done? If I'm a young big man wanting to learn the game of Basketball, you damn right I'm picking Hakeem's brain if I'm able to.
What has Gil ever done? how about Make it to the league and become a top 3 player before tearing up his knee!?!?! 😂😂 yall really just be fucking talking 🤡

Why take advice from a two time champion when you can take advice from a two time felon?😂
🤦🏾♂️ Gilbert game literally changed the generation of shoot first guards at the point position. Giannis needs to learn how to shoot better and score without the ball better. So why would he learn from Hakeem when that won’t help the issue. There’s times when Giannis is on the court with both Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis so learning a better post game would literally make no sense for him.
@@tjrose9830 The only thing Gil changed was security procedures for NBA players and firearms.😂 I’m kidding, I love his game but c’mon man.
@@C_U_Next_Tuesday I’m simply agreeing with other NBA players who says he changed the game.
@tjrose9830 Gilbert didn't change anything in the NBA...He was a great mid-level player....He is not a top tier star...
@@ajjamaal646 you say this yet star players and young upcoming players say he changed the game. There’s so much evidence on his podcast and other places on the internet of players literally saying he changed the game. So are you saying you know more about basketball then these NBA players?
Man Hakeem got picked over Mj and no one bats a eye. That alone kills everything Gilbert did in his career! Not to mention the fact that Hakeem beat Kareem, and shaq, along with David Robinson, and Ewing with no allstar teammate.The man was one of the first centers with the handles to go coast to coast like Gianni’s except for he could pull up for 20 footers which is what Gianni’s has to learn. The man is top 20 in 5 major stat categories as a center. That’s insane, right along with being the only player with more than one quadruple double. What is Gilbert talking about. Ain’t no better player that he could from as a center. Gilbert was not even 1/1000th the player Hakeem was. IMO opinion Hakeem is no.7 alltime due to what he accomplished despite a lack of help for the vast part of his career. At any rate he is no lower than top 12-13. Meanwhile is Gilbert arenas top 100? Seems to me he himself should have checked in with Hakeem in the off-season!
The fact that Hakeem was drafted ahead of MJ and it STILL was the right choice is a testament to his greatness. The most complete center ever and Gil's extraordinarily stupid opinions could make me roll my eyes out of my head.
SAM BOWIE WAS ALSO THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR THE BLAZERS THEY NEEDED A CENTER NOT A POINT GUARD AS THEY HAD CLYDE DREXLER. I TIRED OF THE SLANDER OF THE BLAZERS TAKING SAM BOWIE OVER MICHAEL JORDAN IT ONLY DIDN'T GO WELL BECAUSE SAM BOWIE HAD MOUNTING INJURIES LIKE GREG ODEN IN 2007!!

@@sportswithjarretthoffman7977 That draft class in 01 was all messed up with who was first and whatnot, I mean, it was the Kwame Brown draft class lol, Hakeem darn near took as long to get a championship as Gilbert Arenas had years in the league lol, the list of players at 6'4 and shorter that have won that award is a VERY short list, there are only 2 at 6'3 that won it and a hand full of 6'4 and 6'5 players in NBA history, a center is more than likely going to win or one of the bigger players, since they get the most blocks and rebounds, hakeem played over 700 more games than GIlbert Arenas, alot of his numbers should be a WHOLE lot bigger, especially with him being the main person on his team most of his years playing; you need to say alot more, I dont understand even trying to compare a center against a guard lol.
Lol scoring 60 in regular season game is nothing . 😂 many ppl done that

@@Wcnwyatt What's 50K to Giannis?
@WyattCobb-dv3fc Players spend that on a night out in the club, so why not pay that money to invest in yourself. And you're getting worked out by the most skilled center.
Hakeem was crossing over centers in 1993 😂… face them up from 17 feet, and cross them over…IN THE EARLY 90s!!
Stephen A. is 100% right here. Gil complained about someone charging money when he got mega money charging teams for not playing at all at the end of his career. At least The Dream is working hard for the money.
Gil don't even play that position as a big man..should just shut his trap
Preach!!!!
Gilbert is disrespectful
His name Gilbert. Think about that for a minute 🤡. Not Gil- Gil-Bert
Gilbert is a BUM
A loser talking about a winner is wild
Gil is hilarious
He has a delusion that if he played in 80's and 90's he would be the jordan
Gilbert is going crazy on this. Hakeem is one of the dozen greatest players to ever lace up sneakers
I think this just sums up Gilbert's career and attitude. All the greats who wanted to be better have gone to the dream since he retired. Gilbert got paid once after a few good seasons with the wizards and basically quit after that, and this is how he continues to carry himself. He also thinks Giannis isnt worthy of his praise because of his unorthodox play. Sorry Gil, Giannis might not be Rucker Park material but he's MVP and Champion material, and those guys continue to improve their games after their first payday and championship. Your podcast should be PG-13, but nobody OVER the age of 13 should listen to it.
Gilbert Arenas is just mad no one will pay him 50k to learn from him. He’s probably also jealous of Hakeem’s career.

Hakeem is one of those dudes that universally no one talks bad about. Gilbert needs to sit down on this one.
Michael Jordan record against Olajuwon was 10 - 13
Olajuwon would have 0 rings if Jordan didn't temporarily retire
@@WarriorVinyardin a court of law that would be ruled "speculation". Deal with facts and yes Hakeem had a winning record against Jordan
@@WarriorVinyardthat’s a good possibility. But Jordan was mentally tired after 1993 like he said in the documentary. While I think the bulls is a better team, to say that is just unnecessarily disrespecting the dream. The dream never did anything or said anything disrespectful (unlike Lechoke), so he does not deserve to be disrespected like this.
@@jlobiafrayeah, in the regular season, as if there is any significance. Jordan was possibly playing with his eyes closed in those games. Olajuwon never even came close to the finals while Jordan played.
@@WarriorVinyard obviously you don't know much because Hakeem reached the finals in 86 his second year destroying kareem and showtime lakers 4-1 and then giving the bird led celtics a run for their money.. While Jordan got swept by those same celtics in the first round that year. Now go back and learn your history kid
Kobe is missed for ♾️ amount of reason. He’s definitely missed and NEEDED in times like this. He was the best in his generation and his voice is missing from this podcast era.
Not being disrespectful or anything but since I have never been a Kobe Bryant fan I rather listen to what Barkley, Johnson and Byrd might have to say!
@@ipaporod and that’s fair.. but I’m hearing a lot of players from his era- VC, Tracy, Arenas, Ryan Hollins etc, talking. Don’t know if you ever saw Kobe on First Take, w Sas/Max? If not check it out. The man was a brilliant mind.

Giannis, Why would you listen to Gilbert Arenas? The guy that would rather get paid than win rings. Disrepecting Hakeem like that, the confidence from this kid🤦🏽♂️
Bro if Giannis workout with Hakeem he definitely going to get his third MVP and second DPOY.
Doubt it. Let’s address defense first that has never been an issue for him around the paint and there’s no principles anyone can share that he doesn’t already know however he is a ok defender at best on the perimeter as he still bites on the simplest of moves at this point in his career and if he’s switched onto an explosive or crafty guard it’s chicken for that guard. 90% of defense comes down to effort and intangibles without these 2 iq only goes so far as an on ball.
Offensively say he learns and utilizes some of Hakeem’s post work arsenal he still can’t shoot to maximize what he’s learned. Defensively when teams stop him in the open court they do a fairly good job(depending on personnel) on stopping his isolation buckets in the half court sets(exception of 2nd chances, off ball actions, pnr which doesn’t really implement what it is Hakeem is offering.
As for shooting at this point in his career and with how bad his mechanics are there’s a minimal amount of improvement he’d obtain even if he solely prioritized that in his off season. So when it comes to short corner, mid or high post his repertoire is hindered by him not being a good shooter, this would be what the defender would want to force him into opposed to him being within 5-8 feet of the bucket and bully his way to the him or just do a hook or drop step
That’s what I heard trust me with Jokic getting all this attention Ginnis in the middle of his prime goin out like he did last year he’s goin to b unstoppable this year my opinion
@BallIsLife353332 he does need help with footwork and attention to small detail.. . This is why basketball is doomed 😂😂😂If he's not the beat ever yet, he has room to improve
@@StrictlyG4ten I know and hear you g I was focusing on the finished product as footwork ain’t going to help him make 15+ footers. And yeah he has room to improve yet it’s evident each off season what he absolutely doesn’t work on. His inability to hit free throws last playoffs sent the heat on the path to the finals and guess what he still out here air balling key free throws
@@BallIsLife353332 Respect
I remember how much Lebron improved when he did Hakeems training in that lock out season in Miami. Thats when he added the turnaround fadeaway to his arsenal and then went to 7 straight finals
Why are you letting Arenas off the hook for his ridiculous comment. More time was spent talking about Giannis than the stupidity of what Arenas said: it was almost like you did no want to offend him. He should be offened , this is just another in a long line of silly statements!
It isn't surprising because he doesn't want any Gil's smoke. His podcast is way more successful than SaS podcast. In fact I've seen some episodes of Gil's Arena and they openly mock SaS. Former player got no respect for SaS.
Thank you. Tired of this “new media” just making outlandish dumbass comments for clicks. Gilbert Arenas is just another one of many who put up good numbers on bad teams. I can’t take a player like him taking shots at a champion and all time great seriously
I think Giannis' mindset is it would be easier for him to learn how to work the post than to shoot 3s or the mid-range. I think this is his way of saying he wants to improve, and he thinks this is his best chance. I guess by default, through just size and effort, he is the best player in the game right now, and still trying to get better. he has a lot of room for improvement. I hope he reaches his goals.
The irony is that Gil himself said Giannis needs to work on his game. Getting a mid post game and footwork would help Giannis' game
Shaq would charge a dollar for that knowledge. African rip-off artist like akon.
@@HarvardArchaeology😭😭😭
Best in what league?? And can’t shoot?….why we just throw best in the league to any and everybody
he's that good @@stopsign4111
If the man won 2 rings with those moves and got all those other titles, then im sure its safe to say that those moves are good
And, Kevin McHale won three rings. Most of the moves Hakeem used, were originally McHale's moves.
Game has also changed significantly
@@Nocoslim so? did they ban footwork in the nba?
The things I hear from media is ridiculous. Arenas said sky hook? Means he doesn’t know anything about Hakeem’s game. His game was pure fitness with footwork never seen before on a big man and skills off the charts not to mention the unstoppable fade aways. Hakeem was a great midrange and free throw shooter. Stephen A is absolutely wrong they need Giannis to finess his game not to just shoot jumpers.
The best scores are still killing people in post and mid-range in the playoffs for a reason too. Aside from the warriors, they are the only team that can live and die by the three ball. Giannis learning the post more makes the bucks more dangerous in playoff time
@@nakialee8436 agree the midrange shot is the best option to close out ganes
Gilbert is 41 years old he know damn well how Hakeem played ... anyone 38 and up can remember 😅
Hakeem was a center version of MJ
That alone made Gilbert a dumb @sshole. Hakeem didnt sky hook. He had a repertoire of up and under, jump hook, spin move, fade away, 10 to 15 feet perimeter game and the iconic dream shake. Plus, he is at least 75% ft shooter.
I teared up, when Stephen, said "the late great Kobe Bryant". Still can't believe he passed away.
For real! It still feels unreal.
Hakeem was an Elm Street type nightmare in foes dreams. My #1 big of all-time. He brought the havoc like Prodigy on a Mobb Deep beat and his footwork was nasty as Shaq's feet.
Im pretty sure NBA players can afford 50k outta their multi million dollar contracts. Wtf Gilbert expect a league discount?
these players making 200 million.. hakeem is not out of bounds, matter of fact thats a deal! lessons and training from an absolute hall of famer. im a big fan of agent zero but this take was crazy. in the words of SAS, he should be drug tested!
Hakeem himself is worth more than $300m, very few NBA players are richer than him.
Don’t forget Olajuwon was also the only player JORDAN feared.
@user-ky8nd2rz4fI wouldn't say feared either, but he damn sure respected the hell outta him.
He told the Houston Chronicles Blindbury that he was glad he and the Rockets couldn't get out of the West because they had no answer for that monster
The modern big man game would be perfect for Hakeem. Imagine Giannis with The dream shake or his footwork or even his midrange game.

Everytime Gilbert Arenas talks about basketball it makes more and more sense why he couldn’t be Star long in the NBA Former Greats always Respected the ones before them
hakeem is like that sensei who garners the ultimate respect even if he isn't discussed too much. ask any NBA legend that played against him, the way they talk about Hakeem is unbelievable. you go to Hakeem if you want to learn how to play in the post.
If Dream was in the game rn with the same exact game, his team and the opposing team would have to completely change game plans. The offense would run thru his threat on the block and the defense couldn’t just leave their big man alone on the block with him so they would have to adjust as well. There is no one in the game rn with that level of post dominance.
Embiid and Jokic play a lot in the post especially Embiid who uses lots of Dream's moves
No the game evolved sorry
@Yourmomss you clearly don't watch basketball. The best players in the nba still cooking with post moves especially in the playoffs. Guys like Embiid, Jokic, AD, KD, Sengun, Luka, Kawhi, SGA still cook with low post moves and footwork. Literally no one can guard Jokic and Embiid 1v1 in the post.

Anyone would rather train with Hakeem than with Gilbert thats just a fact.
That’s not facts whatsoever, they have two different skill sets for different eras. You’re using someone name to judge on how their game would reflect in training. Gilbert was literally dame Lillard/ Steph curry before those two. Gilbert would literally help players shoot, ball handle, shoot off dribble, make contested layups and move without the ball on the perimeter. Hakeem can’t teach that, Hakeem can teach footwork and defensive positioning around the post but that’s it. Hakeem can’t teach pick n pop, screen down, high post point defense no he can’t. He can judge it based off his eyes but he can’t personally say he’s an expert at it when his era didn’t use these tactics.
Please research before speaking on basketball.
@@tjrose9830
Kobe Bryant and LeBron James trained with Hakeem. You go research why they trained with Hakeem.
I can speak on basketball whenever I feel like it..sound crazy sayin that
@@LegioIII. You’re using Kobe and Lebron who both had different team compared to what Giannis has and plays differently due to height and build. Kobe had to learn the post game because he came into the league as a defender with great athleticism. The post game gave him an edge on his opponent to score from an impossible to defend angle. Kobe also wanted to improve every aspect that Jordan was good at so that also gave him the edge to learn the post and learn from Hakeem.
Lebron learn from Hakeem because quite jones Lebron forgot how he used to score his first two years in the league. The post game was an option for Lebron to get an easier basket against teams who would intentionally foul him from driving the ball. However everyone with a brain knows that Lebron biggest gain offensively was his confidence and his work ethic to learn how to shoot the ball. This open up his passing ability because it made defenders have to guard up on him.
Giannis don’t need to nor would improve with a post game because the problem with Giannis game is his inability to shoot the ball and score without the basketball.
@@LegioIII. you can’t speak on basketball because you clearly don’t even know why they did need to work on certain things. You simply use big names and think you’re opinion is right or useful. Just stop speaking on basketball for everyone because one day you’re opinion will lead someone astray. You simply sound like a casual.
There’s a reason why Gil’s career ended sooner than expected… his mentality.
When M.J. was ask if he was to start a team, who would he choose first, he didn't say him, he didn't say Magic, Bird, Shaq, hell, he didn' even say The Doc, for you young cat, that Dr. J, he said I would pick The Dream, and, some one ask him about Gilbert Areanas, M.J. said WHO, WHO IN THE F--K IS THAT?
Jordan told Houston's Chronicles Blindbury that he was glad the Rockets & Hakeem couldn't make it out of the West because they had no answer for that monster.
People don’t remember, Lebron trained with Hakeem after 2011. That’s when he developed a post game and couldn’t be stopped
Well said ❤️
Gil is NUTS!!!! Dream was like that and would be in any ERA!!!!!!
I agree that Dwight Howard would be good for the Golden State Warriors. They need his size and defense. He doesn't demand the ball on offense, and he will mainly get his points from offensive rebounds and put backs. I think they really need them, and they would be smart to sign him.
I totally agree! Way better idea than them signing CP3!
The lakers should sigh Dwight !! If we had Dw…we might have beat the Nuggets , just like the bubble.. Dwights D against the joker was critical in the bubble ..smart move by the dubbs
Wonder if he can say those things in front of Hakeem.

Why are you talking about Giannis like he’s a horrible player??? You should be talking about how much stupidity Gilbert Arenas really is! Giannis don’t get the love he deserves because he’s not a drama queen, thug, brother, off court dramas, etc. He’s a family man that plays the game at a high level night in and night out. Sad Giannis can’t get the love he deserve over some of these clowns in the NBA.

He can shoot 3’s as well we all know at that era the toughest roughest era ever in the NBA you would get benched if you shot a 3 so you rarely ever saw him take one. They renamed DPOTY to none other than Olajuwon award. He is all-time leader in blocks and people say that Jordan wasn’t there for that 2nd championship run by Houston but it’s not a true , he was there and avg more ppg that playoffs than his 3 peat days , they just had no answer for Shaquille, Penny and Co. & the bulls just got beat .

Preach,SAS.
Since working out with Hakeem, LeBron and Kobe started having their best years. Yea, the game has changed but there’s no denying Hakeem’s footwork and post game. LeBron, as he’s being getting older goes into the post more now than ever. Posting up can slow the game down when needed, mix that in with Brons strength, iq, and passing out the post.. players don’t go to the post much but it adds a different dimension to your team
Giannis does not need a perimeter shot, he needs a midsize shot and to develop a touch around the basket. Everybody jacking up 3's is becoming absurd!
that’s what he means by perimeter shot ….a mid range game
I've been saying for year Giannis needs to polish his game. The running and dunking is only going to work for so long
You may call it absurd but it’s a simple math equation and provides teams far more versatility and opportunities offensively with their sets and actions
His footwork is all time. Is it 50k worthy? When you say the names he trained already. Yes. His resume demands that.
Gil has no clue to the point he credited Hakeem with the sky hook 🤣
Hakeem was the most skilled two way Big man ever
What’s disrespectful is giannis thinking spending a few days with hakeem will make him a post player.
How tf is that disrespectful? He’s trying to learn shit from Hakeem, he’s not gonna magically be a master of the dream shake after a short workout.
At leasr willing to be a student to learn no ego, but americans have big ego

this is why Arenas won't get hired in the NBA.. coaching or management.

Since when SaS has any decent sports takes? This dude is clueless. He got no respect from other analysts or former players. They all openly mock him. He's just a grifter trying to be a late night host. He already said it.
Bruh. The title is hilarious. Gilbert could never. Stop it.
Information is priceless but it’s valuable, especially even on who he is
Hakeem's footwork was something else. Giannis's game would benefit a lot from working out with him.

Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
How do you know he is not working on his perimeter shot? That doesn’t stop him from working out with Hakeem for a few days! 🤦🏽♂️

Still till this day nobody moves like Hakeem. Ask Shaq.
Amare Stoudemire worked with Hakeem after he injured his knee and became a better back to the basket player. Seems like all those players had in common including Kobe that they were more slashers then back to basket players. Later in their respective careers Kobe, Anthony, Amare they were all back to the basket players, posting up. Giannis plays a lot like Amare did before his injuries. I think it's a good idea. Gilbert is funny though
I saw Hakeem and Dwight Howard working out together on CZcams. Saw them working on post up moves.
“He ced dat? Dats funny. I am an all time great. Gilbert, he is an all time what if. We are not on the same level.” -Hakeem’s response
Why not showing the traveling violation videos ?
if giannis starts posting up, he won't need a perimeter shot
Hakeem’s fundamentals are profound, even outside of the post. His
Footwork translates to all areas on the court. Not just the post. Gil is wrong here.
Peak Olajuwon, from 1993 to 1995, beat three centers from the Top 75 all-time list in the playoffs (Shaq, Robinson, and Ewing).
It's not even a versus Olajuwon out here in Houston chilling
Imagine Giannis with some of Hakeem post moves and face ups, WOOOOOOOOOOWEEE!!!! But also him worrying on that shot too DAMM DAMM DAMM THAT'S UNSTOPPABLE because Gilbert, HAKEEM HAD ALL OF THAT. THAT'S WHY NOBODY COULD STOP HIM
Kobe trained with Hakeem
Lebron trained with Hakeem
Nobody trained with gilbert
What didn't Giannis go and look for Gil's Arena to train? 😂😂
Bro mentioned the “sky hook” as if that was Hakeem’s move
whip·per·snap·per 😂
Forget the perimeter shot, if he can shoot better from the free throw line, it's over for the NBA. I thought it was over when is went 17 for 19 in the playoffs a few years ago
I'll stand up for my city of Houston.. Hakeem will be remembered as he has been when people already don't remember Gil Arenas
Gilbert hates all old players
Gilbert should not be criticising Giannis for spending 50k to improve his game by learning from one of the all time greats. The way he talks it sound like Gilbert is spending 50k on drugs to smoke.
Hakeem is one of the best 5 players ever.
Better than even Kobe.
What is the bigger waste of money, paying hakeem $50k for a one week private training or the memphis grizzlies paying Gilbert arenas $20m in 2011-12 season and played for just 23 games and averaging around 4ppg?
"BUT DAMN!"
Even this title is disrespectful, Stephen.
Never place them in the same sentence
Although he wasn't fully mature at the time, Shaq in 1994-95 was just as tall and imposing but quicker and far more athletic than he ever was. He was an absolute force that looked unstoppable. There was only one man on Earth who could have stopped him and did stop him- the smaller and older and far less imposing , Hakeem the Dream. Gilbert got as much sense as his jersey number on this.
Gilbert is crazy he doesn’t know what he was talking about he was like the joker without the 3 pointer facts 💯
Hakeem footwork was the best of all times 👊🏼❤️👍🏼👏🏼🤷🏽♂️
Best footwork for a big man ever.
