Gil’s Arena Reacts To Bronny James’ Summer League Slump



Gil’s Arena Reacts To Bronny James’ Summer League Slump

what do you think about browny he’ll figure it out Legend let me ask you again what do you think about bronnie as a basketball player as a basketball player personally I think I think he understands the game like my dad played so I understood the game at a young age so I mean now people worried about like oh he’s he’s not shooting the ball well or whatever like that’s going to come right like so I think he has like all the intangibles he can shoot the ball he can defend he’s strong and he’s athletic and that’s what teams want and he’s still only 19 years old when you came in did you feel like you needed more experience um playing after after your first experience in like the atmosphere of it like your rookie year you feel like man I could have used a little bit more experience no feel like he was ready yes it was it just took it just took me time to like figure it out like the NBA side yes got it like I remember my first game like I get in the game I’m like God damn this [ __ ] moving so [ __ ] fast like what the [ __ ] like my preseason game and then I think probably we were playing the Hawks and who was on my Victor all the depot was on Rockets though he he was on the left wing he came down I was on the same side corner he dumped it off to me and I like dunked John Collins once I did it I was like all right like bet like I’m here now so no it’s just like having those moments like once you you know what I’m saying dunk on somebody or [ __ ] off your chest you feel me you can relax you’re like all right bet like now it’s time to go that’s what I feel like with him like he’s going to figured out I think people just put too much on their shoulders is based off LeBron yep and you got to understand that people don’t understand that they’re two different people well that’s why I asked you the question because you you got a father that played right y’all didn’t get to play together or none of that you know but you still got a story so coming from somebody like you having you know an opinion on a player I think everybody gets kind of scared to answer these questions based on who it is and why it is and the time it is but we still hoopers bro it ain’t like criticism to just tell somebody like this is what I think about him I think he got this type of game I think he need a little bit more time and once get this time he going to be good for sure yeah that’s my thing with bronnie is always like experience like that’s all it is once he gets it he got the body frame he got the skill set and he he got time and he’s that’s say he’s 19 like you can’t people expect him to come and go to Summer League average 30 like like that’s not like if you look across the board and look at some of the other rookies 0 for eight someone was one for 12 like it it’s it’s not College yeah your college resume has no input on this at all right it’s a very different sport the game is slower it’s yeah and then you can stand in the paint like this and don’t move no three no three seconds you sit in the corner do all like this is different you’re moving so even the thre this three is further than it was before now he has to adjust to this three right that it’s just unless you’re just a pure shooter it’s going to be hard for you to adjust it’s going to take some time yeah cuz it’s different in college if he’s shooting a college three like a couple oh he hit two threes and then he take a couple steps back he had NBA 3 and he made it no because he was shooting the college threes and he got his rhythm to step back but now it’s just you have to get adjusted where every time shooting at NBA 3 yeah yeah like I just never seen so much like like he go shoot a shot off the backboard and then somebody else will go shoot off the shot off the backboard and y’all not going to say anything about him but you want to say something about him like yeah it’s like it’s like the the expectations of uh a second round pick is just ridiculous because they’re using metrics that’s not even is real it’s not real like at and this is how you know a narrative they have him the 55th pick they never signed a guaranteed contract why are you naring it down to that [ __ ] number how about just say second round how many second rounders signed four your guarantees three of them last year one was the last pick in the NBA draft right he sign a four-year deal for seven there’s three people in this year’s draft that signed fouryear guaranteed deals but you you try to narrow it down to his his numbers so you can make him look bad but no he’s not the highest paid player in the second round there’s other players but because second round no one knows about him there’s no coverage on him it’s easy to just point him out it’s like he’s a second round pick what do you expect I expect him to play maybe 10 to 17 games this year right all right he’ll probably get in 10 to 177 games average half a point to one point like every other second goddamn round pick but the that’s it like but the expectation is not on him being a second round pick but it is but it’s not it is the expectation for him that like he could have get he could have went anywhere in the draft he’s a second round pi but but if he doesn’t let’s say he doesn’t get drafted he still has an expectation if he makes a squad cuz you’re LeBron James son it doesn’t matter where he but to me that like that’s his daad but that has nothing to do with it though has everything I don’t think so cuz wherever he goes because that’s like me saying like when I came in like oh like everything I do is be like because like no that doesn’t make sense no but it’s because of him that your name is going to be remembered from other people on the outside cuz we don’t know your him to go play like LeBron James we have that’s the expectation F I mean that’s at what level that’s what people expecting Michael Jordan son got to the NBA they expect his but so who’s who who’s in who’s who’s the problem then is he the problem for playing like a second round pick or or rookie or the problem is the media trying to make this seem like he’s LeBron James like he didn’t get pick number one like he’s playing better than some of the first round picks yeah but you know how that’s that’s the sad part Elijah has an expectation for sure he does because you’re his dad period Point Blank he’s he’s going to he’s going to answer those expectations because he’s been trained and he’s good enough the same way you you had an expectation because your dad is your dad and you came in playing similar to your dad well he’s he what I’m say he played what three Summer League games like three summer league yes three summer and he took 26 shots I’m like [ __ ] I didn’t get 23 I didn’t get 26 shots up in my I didn’t get 26 shots up in my whole summer league experience as a as a rookie he just fig right now is it a is it an unfair expectation yes it’s an unfair expectation but is it an expectation for sure for but that makes but that’s what that it makes everybody else seem uneducated then because if you’re expecting a second round pick to somehow be like his father something’s wrong with you right who Jed like like like coming like like what I’m saying as a second round pick 20 22 draft right so just two drafts ago there was 29 picks six of them didn’t even make the team eight of them didn’t even make it to the second year that means the second round pick there’s only 15 players that are actually still in the league that is what is required of a second round pick so you trying to make this kid be LeBron James is ridiculous no no how many of those second round picks were making $7 million in college $7 million in college well I mean no how many second round peers got a guarantee they well they didn’t have that in college nil and you were making $7 million they didn’t have that they didn’t have that they didn’t have that year right so that’s why the expectation it just started that summer right or my trip yeah the N just started the summer the 202 2022 or 2020 let me see so if you look at it the expectation is coming from okay you was a freshman in college we know who you are you go to USC you was a McDonald’s All-American you have pressure on you already at USC but it started the heart problem the heart situation uh eased the pressure off him because it’s like all right we got to wait till he come back let’s see if he can get back to regular form he plays the whole freshman year he still nil deal then you leave your freshman year you feel like you’re ready to go that’s even more pressure was that ready to go or was that circumstances that made him think that well coach coach get people like it’s circumstance like I don’t think no one’s taking in the circum cumstances of this the hard thing changed the mindset of him the mindset of that family right think about we’ve played right Bron has been in the game 20 years bronnie is 19 years old that means half of the year he’s away from his kids right for the first time in his career something happened to one of his children is first born now he knows every single 365 days his son is right next to him MH this is this is beyond basketball right so he gets to wake up eat breakfast eat lunch eat dinner go to the movies ride the bus fly on the plane watch film every single day something he’s never done before right this is more of I I someone just someone just passed that was this close to me and I’m G to hang out with the [ __ ] every single day that’s what this this this is really about right for for them Ronnie I just want to play [ __ ] I almost lost my life [ __ ] that I want to play basketball I don’t give a [ __ ] if it’s in Spain Egypt I just want to just can I just play right this is not like we putting so much on it because it’s it’s who it is but not understand their circumstances changed and we can’t look at it the same way that we’re looking at we got to look at it like anybody if we can get our loved one back that someone that passed and we can spend time we G to drop everything and spend time with him well he can’t drop his career so he added come on but this not the first time this type of situation has happened to who to a player this happened before Sharie O’Neal Sharie had a hard situation Sharie didn’t get to go into the draft Shaq told him to stay back and go to school get some more experience you ain’t ready for this similar numbers Shaq ain’t playing I know Shaq not playing so that’s but but remember what remember remember what the narrative was it was we’ve never had this conversation to even do this but what I’m saying is Shaq but Shaq can see his son every day of course Shaq can so so can bri oh you you see his son when on the west coast on the East Coast uh trip why not when he’s gone for 18 days staying back playing in college I can’t I can’t get that phone like I I don’t want that phone call again think about it’s a phone call it’s not that that it happened in the this is a phone call not La practice I’m wherever I am and I got a phone call right so that’s what I’m saying it changes so we can’t look at it as we got to look at it like I give it two years let’s see what happens right you got this is something that you know that is different but but if we all just take ourselves out of the basketball aspect of it and say all right think of what we would do if someone near us almost lost their life and we all will say we will spend every day with that it depends on who it is but is that theory a Lov one I’m saying someone you love it depends on who it is I care I love it depends on who it is but is that the story line not love you like that I said that’s why I said someone you love [ __ ] is that the story line though like this the story line play with my father is it to play with my father in the NBA or is it that I want to siize the and be able to take advantage of theirs is both like that’s what I said you got to think about his dream his dream is what I wanted to get I want to play the NBA I want to get my name called and LeBron dream for to play with his son so so I so that’s what you want son okay I’ll get your name called so let’s not act like the he wasn’t GNA be on the Lakers if he didn’t get picked but if he get Now by think about he didn’t get picked he would have signed a contract with the l no if the question is if he if another team picks him up no would have they said they said he was going Australia but so what are we talking about at that point if you just want to make it to the NBA and you don’t want to play on no other team but this team we talking about something totally that’s what the report said we don’t know if that’s but it’s still two it’s two different narratives he just wants to get drafted at this point he don’t give a [ __ ] where it’s at the father’s like I want my son next to me right for the next year right so you know they they got two narratives going on and obviously Bron’s narrative is going to trumpet but if he didn’t get drafted he was going to be on the Lakers I don’t even know why people are acting like oh they could have picked somebody else at the 55th pick I’m whoever who got picked after uh bronnie good question good because I know he got traded to the Knicks let me pull it up cuz whoever that whoever 550 whoever 56 is he should be happy bronnie got picked 55 because if he got Kevin mcculler Jr who Kevin mcculler Jun so Kevin if if they didn’t pick bronnie and uh the liers pick Kevin right now Kevin will be getting his ass cut cuz they need to make room for Brony and now Kevin don’t have a chance to make an NBA roster his ass will be overseas so Kevin’s lucky because he would have been getting cut for Brony so question is they did they draft Brony to consider him as an asset for the future or did they drive bronnie for LeBron d a little bit of both he’s night how many years you been in the league this is my fifth year how old are you 23 what year did you get drafted 2020 so that means 5 years from now Bry would be on 23 L the same thing liter the same thing so 23 we’re GNA see what but I’m at 22 and 23 we can see where the developments came from because we know right now the guys who getting drafted at 23 we know what they look like I’m not refuting that at all I’m saying the decision to draft him was it was it we see bronny being a fit for the Lakers and helping us win XYZ or helping pick there’s no expectations on him there’s no expect he’s 55th pick to play well this year none whatsoever hey yo I agree I agree that there’s no expect not even next there’s nothing like pick we’re not expecting him to do nothing so what about what about the boy uh what’s his name Dalton Dayton what about him yeah he’s expected to come in 17th pick he’s a 17th pick that 23 years old and he’s an old man he’s I don’t expect him to come in and change our our franchise 23 yeah I expect him to come in hit some shots up and you know make some shots and you know open the floor but I don’t expect him come in here and average 17 points that’s wow he just had he had 29 right he just had 29 that’s what you supposed to do is he yes you’re 23 you’re 23 cuz because he’s 23 he’s supposed to because he’s 23 that’s how KJ I got that’s wait wait how old is Reed Shepard 19 is he supposed to do that yeah he was a number three pick two pick is he supposed to do that yes he’s 20 years old fresh he he he just turned 20 in but I tell he came off the bench but I can tell you this no no no I can tell you this if he don’t play well this this this rookie year it’s okay who cares cuz he’s only 20 he’s a top top three picks still like expected to play well but if not okay it’s fine like number one what are you guys expecting huh so what are you guys expecting from him from who from bronie nothing nothing show up and work out work on your [Music] game Go Daddy go go Daddy go my daddy hey soon as they sub soon as they sub Go Daddy go go Daddy go what you need all let me go get your towel let me get your water sit there hey sit there learn to play talk to the coach that that yes don’t talk about daddy like that it’s a second round pick what you expect him to learn understand n be cheerful beet but he’s going to be that anyway I got a question so so right like what so are you only agreeing with this because you was a second round pick I was second too I was what so I’m just saying like you being no I’m trying I’m trying to figure out what I’m trying to figure out and I [ __ ] with b and I [ __ ] with the whole situ it’s cool and all but what I’m saying is is so like are like what is your problem with what the media is saying and how they’re viewing it because is it because he’s LeBron James son and it because like because everybody else is in that position like I mean I got I I’m speaking for myself too because if I have kids what am I going to feel this way or I’m going just tell that young [ __ ] you ain’t like that so you ain’t like that I’m just trying I’m just trying to figure out problem is this that’s what you say now no the problem is this I don’t care [ __ ] you ain’t good enough [ __ ] good I don’t care if it’s my son or not don’t put your ass out what is expected from who was your second round who the second round pick your who was the second round pick on your watch watch and watch Legend King listen I don’t give a [ __ ] about that S I don’t give a [ __ ] about that I don’t give a round pi on I guarantee you you don’t even know his name I’m just asking sound guarantee you you don’t know his name tell me who the second round pick was in that got drafted with you so you don’t know his name do you Patrick Beverly he got on Milwaukee Bucks no you okay what did they expect from Jody Meeks coming in train C to come in and Kentucky yeah he was a shooter that’s what they want to do come in here how many minutes did he play I don’t know I mean he you don’t know cuz you don’t remember I don’t he play no pressure on the second round pick all right all right let me know what in the history of basketball let me know where someone like I can’t wait to this second round pick get in the game about to Tony Parker nobody Parker Tony Parker is the first round pick well who is it job second round yeah no yeah he got drafted [ __ ] okay okay he got drafted two years th is Thomas was the 60th pick okay Thomas yeah pressure what pressure was it there was no pressure just in I’m just saying in I’m just saying in exuses if there was so much if there was so much expectation son ain’t ready he ain’t ready if there was so much expectation on a second round pick then the [ __ ] wouldn’t have been the second my Lane n cuz if you fall to the second round Gil you fall to the second round and your projected first round go do some art your pressure comes from proving that you deserve to be a first round go out there embarrass me name a player name a play in the second round that that came into the season that the media was like oh he’s about to be it none never never nobody ever not saying that about they’re not saying that about nobody say he was going to be the it Factor about they treating him as that though treat like people expecting listen SC 55 it’ be the same [ __ ] thing nigg Score Four Points a horrible game Micha games for Four Points [ __ ] I’m not complaining I’m just saying like no but it took me three games to get four points if you average Four Points in college and you say I’m good enough to go to the league you don’t come to the league and then Score Four Points again why not my God because you you feel like you do it you left because you said this Four Points ain’t a reflection of my I know somebody who ever 16 first his first game he had two man you throw your son in the fire you throw your son in the that’s on his ass hey I know somebody on 10 he was a 10th pick that’s don’t make EXC if throw his ass in the fire 10th pick score zero nah that did

12 nobody El say nothing this [ __ ] go two for 12 we acting like oh he need to go back to college yeah cuz we talking about him like he went number one he only that’s your problem no that’s the media that’s the whole point of I’m not even about playing games I’m just trying to figure out like what like like what’s your problem with what the media saying you know what’s coming you put your you’re the greatest player ever and you put your son in the fire you know what’s coming and we we beening that’s the problem it’s in the fire the problem get drafted in the NBA you’re in the fire [ __ ] you’re [ __ ] you you draft anybody any number you’re a [ __ ] fire nobody in why nobody in fire fire [ __ ] why nobody the top the top 10 picks have played right the top 10 picks of play nobody cares nobody cares you you’re the greatest player in the world you’re the greatest player in the world you threw your son in the fire that’s all we care about we want to know we want to know if he going to have something like you throw your son in the fire they going want to make sure he just like little guil how much how much like how much is the 54th pick scor in summer league so far I don’t know I don’t give a [ __ ] how much did the6 that’s not that’s not the that’s not the topic of the problem I’m here to tell you right now we don’t care because you got a problem with Braun so you’re trying to pick nobody has a problem with kid fault it ain’t the kid’s fault that my [ __ ] D Jes I thought you said kid makes his own decisions but it ain’t the kid fault made his decision okay he came outon James can’t help that LeBron James is his father exactly I’m not I’m not I’m not complaining about that do what you got to do for your son but when you throw that when you throw him in the fire okay what time it is the NBA is the fire there’s no other league better than the NBA that’s the fire anybody that get drafted in the NBA you play NBA the [ __ ] Fire Let’s Go the record then uhoh if you’re a media and you’re crucifying the 55th pick for playing like a 50 F Pi you’re weak ass you’re a weak I I don’t care about do you know why thef because of who his dad is what I’m saying we know what’s coming because it’s easy content it’s easy content you know damn well you know damn well James is not going to score 20 in a Le game you know [ __ ] so it’s easy picking then that means you’re why is he not going to do that why would because you’re making you’re making it easy you’re making it easy for me to pick on your ass yeah you making it easy he’s don’t like of course I’m not going to like if the first why can’t you get 20 points what was the most points you scored in the summer league game that was the year after your rookie any play any play the year in NBA go what was the most 10 five eight what was I don’t even know I don’t even know if I scored 20 he’s not wor about that he’s worried about your five no [ __ ] second round scor [ __ ] 20 points in the sub League game why can’t bronnie though nobody why when have we seen it he 20 in a college game yo listen I don’t care how he plays I’m just talking about the facts of what you put your son into the no he listen the kid wanted to go to the NBA man so this is so listen it was his dream to hear his name called man the kid had childhood dreams of play in the NBA the opportunity presented itself for this kid to play in the NBA right yep whether his dad was still in the league or not the kid childhood dream was to play in the NBA put in the best situ put his kid in the best situation possible to get there right the kid is the 55th pick right mhm there should be no expectation whatsoever with this kid that’s nasty work why how y even live with saying that know there pressure know there’s pressure from who from who all of us the world you got to make that Ronnie like we watching the game for who cuz y’all are naive what was we was we watching the Lakers gameon James Jun G the Lakers playing as y’all we were not watching the Lakers that’s y’all but that’s what that’s we were not watching the Lakers watching the Stars last year I was watching wimy I wasn’t watching the Hornets I watching came into the game that they were not there for the second game they came to see bronnie and they bounce came to see wimy anybody so this is the hype is no this is the thing everybody today side you [ __ ] want instant gratification you want to put the [ __ ] in the microwave and you want this [ __ ] to be a 20o score right now yes why because I’m everybody who comes to the League what you I’m not saying that I’m not saying that I’m not saying that I’m not say but that’s but but the masses is they want the kid to come in right now and put him in the microwave and they want to readymade product right now after [ __ ] one one Summer League game and that ain’t the case man the kid play how many games kid playing college 10 12 games in college right was handicapped because certain things he is behind he is behind why K KJ played more games than IMG and him when KJ went to IMG he played more games than bronnie did his freshman USC KJ came in his rookie year still behind Bron is way behind in that aspect minutes matter on the floor do they not right whether they in summer league High School College your game experiences matter the minutes that you spend right so you you go to college he’s getting ready to go try to be a professional athlete it was interrupted right his DNA and everything said he has the potential to be NBA player it was his his time was interrupted he is behind no matter what y’all might see he got drafted yes he is behind mhm damnn near everybody that got drafted far as minutes and on the floor activity what he has in his advantages that his daddy is Lebron James been in that household for his knowledge and all of that stuff he hasn’t advantage in that but actual what we’re here to judge him on is the actual gam that he’s playing he is behind so in any industry specifically music you bring somebody in if you’re independent artist and we sign you if I’m universal and we sign you I need a readymade project if I $4 no I do not expect I need a ready made no that’s not what I’m so you some so what’s the [ __ ] that made what I’m talking um the [ __ ] is it [ __ ] designer what’s the the song the [ __ ] made design him uhuh what else he went he was behind he went diamond he was behind and then what what what else he didn’t have to do [ __ ] yes he went diamond he was behind the song went diamond he was behind what happened to his career jacking off on planes that’s his career he a diamond [ __ ] beat on Diamond album no he had a Diamond song he had a Diamond song he didn’t get the he didn’t get his he didn’t get a he 60 his first game they put him in the microwave what happened they put him in the mic they put him in the microwave and what happened reality hit he broke record that’s that’s just like Brony James going out there hitting every shot that’s not reality Royal that’s what if youal are forever hey if you leave a bag a microwave popcorn in the [ __ ] microwave too long what the [ __ ] happened to it got so guess what it burn that’s what happened to design that what you put it’s too fast dog how cuz he didn’t get a chance diamond and then one soul bro there’s a lot of one hit wonders bro and he’s one of them and he’s going to eat forever nobody works y not know how music works I know he’s getting peanut so what are royalties peanuts off Panda you’re not getting peanuts off of panda got money mic but KJ hold on who gets their money first before him oh my God the produc everybody who gets their money first the you SE this [ __ ] recent pizza commerci right when you order a pizza and by the time you get your pizza [ __ ] seven people didn’t took a [ __ ] bite out of your slices by the time you get it that’s a fact that’s a fact he ain’t getting the he ain’t getting the he already got his money the record the record label has to recoup every dime before he see anything they only recoup a dime off of a single exactly they already been paid their money back listen he single was some work for Jam so we almost out of time somebody work for Death Jam univ been theic back to the moral of the story almost should [ __ ] criti you should not be expecting nothing from a 55th pick or any second round pick because they got picked in the second round for a reason stop like somebody like like yic right nobody people don’t realize joic got drafted a year before he came in he played one Summer League game and they signed him to a four-year deal right the second round is we don’t expect nothing from you and if you do something good we’re going to glorify you that’s just how it is so question KJ question for you obviously you guys are in a unique experience with can you being a number one overall pick KJ you being selected in the 50s in the second round similar to LeBron and Brony if you have the opportunity to play with your dad in the league would you want to do that hell no see why wouldn’t you want why wouldn’t you want to play with Pops I want to be around him every day like that he hey what if you almost died though yeah probably that’s different yeah what we want to maximize these moments but like I wouldn’t I don’t know but that’s what I’m saying if it was on the L now you say what you say if you had a chance to play with your son yes [ __ ] yeah that’s exactly what was going on bronze yes the son is like yeah I just want to play it’s two different narratives but what the narrative that we’re escaping is the fact that they already said we never had conversations about prob didn’t we never until it presented itself yeah it presented itself when he was a McDonald’s allamerican when he was a McDonald’s all- Amer I can potentially play with my kids who’s playing this long LeBron Raymond James Senor and Vince who in our game you it’s five guys that played 20 years five that played 20 [ __ ] years that they weren’t having that conversation man no about playing with his son until it presented himself who who Who’s who’s a better player zire way or bronnie James bronny James one’s in the NBA why is Zer not in the NBA because he didn’t have the same he wasn’t as good when when it was time you know I saw him high school so what happened with what happened was I saw him play high school yeah remember he was in he was he was in he was in Florida right he came here this was a different experience from him he had a different lifestyle when he first got here as a as a as a as a player damn all the T [ __ ] listen when they was being judged and all that [ __ ] things that at the time bronny was better than zire probably he was I saw him play I a saying zire couldn’t play but bronnie was better at the time at the time but what happened was when zier he got hurt when Zer got hurt and then he had to go to another school he had to go to he had to he had to go to he went to siar Canyon got hurt and didn’t [ __ ] play a lot then he had to go he didn’t get the scholarship and all that he didn’t get the scholarship so then he had to go somewhere different now that experience where he realized everybody else going to college and he had to go play another year of high school ball that turned him into something different then he didn’t take the game serious then he started practicing three times a day right so he caught the end of what it takes to be a player yeah but don’t you know that the first real story of father son playing was Dwayne and Zer it could have been that was the it was the first one so why could but why wasn’t it because what I’m saying is zier himself took it serious at a later time he took it Ser cuz he was 17 when he graduated so he went to school get so you’re talking about 18 years old when he’s like oh [ __ ] this is what it is then he started training and really taking that Ser before when he first came to La Z was ch yeah cuz I chill I was going to the games bro listen he was chilling it wasn’t it wasn’t basketball then to watch the games it wasn’t it wasn’t basketball for him like that his basketball his basketball

  1. Bronny came in on who his dad is and potential. There are players that have proven themselves in HS and College that were not drafted……and he got a guaranteed contract. I want Gil to comment on that, since he's so caught up in not knowing who is drafted in the second round pick.

  2. Expectations of him being Lebron James is ridiculous. Except his name literally is Lebron James Jr.
    And we are the uneducated ones.

  3. LeBron said he can step in right now and be better than most of the NBA players why is it not expected for him to be scrutinized for his play not his fault he's under the spotlight

  4. 22:20 THIS. They put bronny on that pedestal they put him in that situation bronny and his dad and all the laker goons need to buckle the fuck up cause if u shit better get the fuck out the big league

  5. Yep…Gil making excuses from the beginning. Literally everyone watching, male or female, could put up similar stats. No cap. And Gil justify it🤦‍♂️ Then started talking about Bron spending time after heart issue….a whole new level of glazing. Went off court to pull heart strings about trash

  6. I always went to gils arena to hear gil talk about the truth no matter what the circumstance. Im dissapointed with this. Bronny is clearly trash and did not deserve to have an nba spot

  7. Aye Brandon Jennings you sir are a terrible dad, gone tell your sons “they not like that” is some clown shit, help your kids achieve whatever they dreams are.

  8. "the expectations for a 2nd pick" the problem is he is not ready and it's not his fault. He would still be in college developing how he's supposed to if LeBron wouldve stfu. LeBron spoke him up so now he's expected to super overprove based off that.
