Rashad killed it AGAIN. Stay mad!!!
Wtf is Rashad talking about? Getting faster and stronger over the course of a season doesn't mean you're getting better as a player. Rashad was the best athlete on the Tar Heels but he wasn't a better player than Raymond Felton; by his logic he would've made more money than Felton based on his athletic testing despite Felton clearly being their best player. Maybe if he had actually gone to class he could propose a pay model that actually makes sense.
The thumbnail tho
McCants made a good point about KD's marketing being low, but saying he'll go down as a better all around basketball player than Lebron is laughable. Scoring, rebounding, assists, running the game, playing defense (in his younger years lol). Lebron affects A LOT on a basketball court and his only weakness is being average from 3 and free throw line. Folks talk about the East being easy but the only 2 players to dominate that conference for over a decade were MJ and Lebron. 1 and 2 (or 1A and 1B). Enough said.
Gil's take on the refs being sensitive is BRILLIANTLY communicated, the fact that the players aren't allowed to become emotional but the ref apparently is? Across the board no one is disagreeing that sh%$ needs to change. The fans want to see emotion and grit that's what they pay for and the reason why they watch.
McCants has no clue What a N I L deal is
Uncle shay shay said lexi got those slider burger hands lol
GILS ARENA>FIRST TAKE
I’m so tired of Rashad. Leave that crown at home you won nothing in the nba.
Rashad is actually a fool
A ref should grateful to be a damn ref. Like you get paid good to just make the right call and they can’t do that and they get to watch these guys play every night right in front of them for free bc it’s their job smh🤦🏽♂️
Rashad needs to not talk about NIL, has no clue how it works.
Arenas point on Jrue is flawed. Celtics lost rim protection in Williams and perimeter defense in Smart. Added Jrue and they're 3rd. Bucks lost Jrue and Allen and they're 24th. Clearly there's no great defense at the point of attack, which puts more pressure on the entire team to rotate and help. The drop off is absolutely insane, even by the eye test. Bucks are giving up shots they didn't give up with Jrue.
😂😂gil still not watching. Giannis makes several middys a game
Hold all people accountable even black folks
💯
Rashad McCants is literally the dumbest person I’ve ever witnessed.
every year, the players get to vote one ref out! the ref with the most votes has to go! and it has to be at least…idk 100 votes or something – i think that would be healthy
Bring back Meko caus3 Lexi is boring asf.
I ain’t gon lie that tuff crowd is hella high… super clean tho lol
That take on how non athlete college kids don't do as much or have to work as hard as athletes in college is bullshit, when you are a college student with one or two jobs, involved on campus, running organizations that's just as tough if not tougher than being a student athlete
Rashad tried to make a case for KD marketing then Gil gave him a lesson on how it goes then he starts agreeing with him. Just be talking
Who cares about having a bag all them niggas with a bag in the game is not top 5 all time players Kyrie Iverson Jamal Crawford got a bag he ain't in no all time great list at all
Athletes at college are not the most stressed. Y’all crazy. None of y’all muthafuckas didn’t have to work and pay bills in college. Most of us did. We had to buy our own cars, pay our own rent, buy our own food and study and get good grades. Most athletes aren’t studying engineering or pre med or pre law. Muthafuckas be choosing mass comm and visual art. Shit y’all barely even study sports medicine or sports science, which would be extremely valuable for an athlete.
man none of them even watch bucks games this year lmao
kd is not on Bron or Currys level never will be wtf is mccants talking about
A kid is not 21
Aint nobody wearing gr8ness triple knock offs😂
It woupdve been nice if they addresses when kobe was suspended for loudly calling a ref a fmaggot. I bet it was billy
The player's are sensitive too.
nba got into the Betting game,
they arent even trying to hide it now
I hope the NBA refs watch this pod
Man I need kd to at least win one more chip 2 would be amazing tho
Who in the fuck thinks kd going down better all time than lebron 😂 and how u did he get just as much hype coming in the league and he wasn’t even the first pick in his own draft ? 😂😂😂😂😂 McCants slow asl
McCants back on the b.s. talking about k.d. will go down in history as a better player than LBJ 😂
