Unc & Gil debate the best young NBA core: Celtics, Thunder, Grizzlies, Raptors? | Nightcap

Chandler Parson says I think it’s not even close that the the Thunder have the best core now and they have the best core moving forward core is that two players three players what well well they got every every every Williams that lives in Oklahoma is on the team they got like

Seven guys named Williams on the team so Jayla Williams one with a Y and the other with L but I mean I mean your core is your core right now Shay Chet I mean start the season giddy was part of that core but yeah you know he went from

Averaging 16 to averaging 12 this year so he’s having a down year yeah um you know he he’s averaging less than he did his his rookie year you know his rookie year was 128 and what 128 and six this year is 12 six and four so is he part of

My core really I got two players I mean I mean you know are they are those three better than Fox sabonis and Murray Grizzlies J Bane and jiren Raptors quickley Baron and Barnes I mean you know you got a few teams out there that got a nice little young nucleus

Right I mean you want to say they got one of the best young players okay I get that with Shay obviously you know he he he’s right there what is he like 22 23 yep um4 yeah and when you look at it and you know I don’t know if you said this

Uh we perk and I was talking about on our first tap and uh you talking about the trade is that doc was explaining said like you know hey kawhai I think you need to get this kid a chance and he’s like nope if you don’t get PG if I

Can’t get PG I’m gonna have to go to the other team yeah and perk and I was and I agree Shay better than Paul George right now Shay better than kawhai m i mean I’m not talking I’m talking about Kawai right now now Kawai got accolades Kawai

Is a two-time finals champ he’s a two-time Finals MVP there’s no denying that but Shay better right now oh yeah I mean sh he was better he was better last year he better and and I can count on him he gonna play he gonna give me 70

Games yeah I mean that’s what they have one guy they have Chad and then from there you know you know you know you got you got giddy I mean you know like J Bane and jiren you know seems like a more solid three yeah it’s a three it’s

You know it’s three you know um the be honest because they’re still young I mean Boston I mean yeah I mean with with with with with with Tatum Brown and and d and and and and white yeah taten brown and white I mean if I mean but you know with those two

You still got a solid unit so you know when they make statements like you know um core they have a nice core like how young you’re talking so you can cut out some of these numbers but you know you know Grizzlies Raptor Grizzly sack and OKC they’re right they’re right there

Right I I agree uh meta says wimble wimbley Wim Yama for sure will score 101 points in the NBA game wimby Yama is the closest to will that we’ll ever see he’s going to run into a Detroit Piston from a year or 20 Clippers 20 years ago he’s going to get

101 can we drill test retired players too yeah they should he must have been i’ trying to make sure ain’t none of my bottles been open behind me gil cuz he clearly broke in my house and drank a whole bottle I mean I mean people just they

Make it first of all obviously he’s skilled he’s 74 7 three and a half 74 he’s skilled he can shoot like no other seven4 guy that we’ve ever seen got nice handles but do you know how I mean how incredibly efficient you’re gonna have to be to get a 100

Points okay okay if we rewind time and go back to the year there’s a Shacks when he lost that um scoring title to David Robinson David Robinson had 71 yeah so how he got that 71 is is it could be a possibility uh for wimy but his team don’t like him

Like that where they was force feeding David Robinson so he can beat that scoring title right now if he had teammates like David Robinson did and say hey you want to score 101 yeah we just gonna give you the ball every single time and we’re just gonna see if

You can break it I don’t that ain’t today’s basketball right um look but when you go look at look at the look how many shots when Kobe scored 80 when Willl scored uh uh uh 100 I think he shot like 48 times he was 28 if

I’m not mistaken he was like 28 or 32 from the free throw line what’s the likelihood of somebody getting up 48 shots in the NBA game now Kobe got up 50 his last game he scored 60 yeah see It’ll be it okay so when you talk about

Something like that like it has to be one of those days where the team is like okay we’re going to allow you to do this and the fact that he is 76 and most of that most of those buckets can be right under the basket right right it it it’s it it it

Won’t happen but let’s say hey I need 101 points to break the scoring record and the teammates be like all right bet let’s do this but do you really but here the thing not not in a competitive game no it won’t happen in a competitive game

And plus you’re gonna have to shoot you GNA probably have to shoot somewhere between 30 and 40 free throws and you’re going to have to make like 95% of them yeah but he get you free throws what what’s what’s what’s wy’s free throw percentage will that was Will greatest

Free throw that night he went 28 of 32 see it was me it was me it was me but and the thing was they were stalling the ball they didn’t want they didn’t want him to get they didn’t want him to get it so they just like he’s shooting

78% so he’s got so in other words he gotta shoot like 60 free throws and make like 44 48 of I mean that’s what I said it’s it’s unrealistic it’s just one of those days it’s just it’s going to be one of those days where and they’re not

Gonna let you do it Gil C you remember you remember when book book had that streak I think he had like three games in a row he had average like 50 and then he had like 40 like 404 with like five minutes to go and they just triple team

They like no you’re not gonna do this you’re not you’re not GNA get 50 on us again nope nope nope it ain’t gonna happen I mean Pride from the other team but that’s where that’s where the Fallon comes in too where I don’t want you to

Score so I’mma fou you you earn it at the free throw line Right

Shannon Sharpe & Gilbert Arenas discuss Chandler Parsons’ claim that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and the rest of the Oklahoma City Thunder make up the best young core of any team in the NBA. Unc and Gil weigh Thunder’s nucleus against the Boston Celtics with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the Sacramento Kings with De’Aaron Fox and Damontas Sabonis, and the Memphis Grizzlies with Ja Morant and Desmond Bane. Later, the two discuss whether or not it is possible for Victor Wembanyama to score 100 points in an NBA game like Metta World Peace claimed.
