So thank you guys Gil thank you for joining uh uh tonight the Cs beat the bucks without Yannis 122 to 119 Gil what were some of your takeaways from this game um it it seems like bucks is so comfortable like Dame seems so comfortable without which is a bad which is which is
Bad because that’s his whole career has been playing without you know that type of player so going to the playoffs in the last month they need to finally get their um chemistry together because right now they don’t have chemistry right they’re gonna when the games they
Won they’ve won off of they’re just a good team Boston the biggest flaw is they stand around a lot playing ISO basketball right when one has the ball the other star just sits there in the Deep Corner uh you know waiting for the ball to come
Around to his his uh area so then he can play one-on-one that’s how they lost to Miami and they will not beat Denver playing that type of basketball when you look at it Boston shot 29 free throws the Buck Shot 14 and it was and and it
And there one point where I think the the Celtics ran up the score 17 18 maybe even 19 points but they were never able to put the Bucks away the Bucks come back and Whittle it down and I agree with what you said about Giannis and I
Think the thing is with Dame Dame is so used and so comfortable without playing with a super super mega superstar that he’s like okay I’m just back in Portland and this this ain’t nothing to me I’m used to having Supporting Cast and I get to do my things I’mma run guys out pick
I’m put guys in the pick and roll they’re going to get me the ball and I can do my thing the concern that I have is that look we understand what Yannis is it goes without saying in playoff the game’s going to come down to clutch time the last five
Minutes the game within five points who should have the ball in their hands versus who will have the ball in their hands Gil those are two those are totally two different questions with two different arguments yeah yeah um at this point in time I mean I I hope
Everyone’s smart enough to know that Dame needs the ball uh at the end of the game um he needs to be making all the plays making all the decisions it’s no different than Kobe and Shaq yeah Shaq we know you’re dominant just not at this point because
We don’t need you to get fouled unless you are making free throws uh at a high rate during that game other than that we don’t want you shooting free throws that benefits the other team that you’re going to free throw line but what you’re gonna need and you You’ seen
It today you’re going to need free throw attempts so what ends up happening is you’re G to need Yannis into the offense uh at the beginning of the fourth quarter so he teen yeah he has to do his everyone has to do their part understanding their roles and until they get that they’re
Gonna you know it’s going to be one of those you know win a game lose a game win two games lose two games um I don’t see them I don’t see them getting out of the East um just because I don’t see that their chemistry is not
Going to be there Middleton just coming back Giannis is not there when they all three get together they got to find that Rhythm I thought Chris Middleton look really really good tonight they didn’t get much out of J Crowder play 15 minutes they didn’t get much out of
Malik Beasley play 26 minutes between those guy oh between those guys and Brook Lopez you only got what 21 points you need you need more than that from your starters especially with Dame doing what he did Chris Middleton played really well only 33 minutes tonight Bobby poris is Bobby por us off the
Bench gave you a double double 24 and 10 but you need more you to if Giannis is gonna be out let’s just and I don’t know how long he’s going to be out but you’re going to probably need 35 points between those three guys now however you want to divy it up
Because dam is Gonna Give You Dame numbers if Chris Middleton’s gonna give you 20 Bob Bobby Porter is gonna give you what he gives you off the bench I can’t have three guys play in those kind of minutes giving me 21 points Gil I can’t now now now we seen we see what
The Three Amigos look like see the Three Amigos for damee is him Bobby and Middleton the ones that suffer is Lopez Beasley Crowder when Giannis is to stop Giannis you need Brook Lopez man to be in the lane you need Crowder man to be in the
Lane and that’s how they get their open shots right so it’s it’s it’s one of those both teams got to set the three they The Three Amigos so you got to figure out how all of those guys can play well together I I just think look
It is what it is um I look at it like when we play whether I win or lose I was try trying to gather as much information as I possibly can just in case I had to see this team down the road because I so I wanted to see in certain situations
Down in distance how they played me because I realized they’re gonna play me different than they play any other tight end so I’m trying to gather as much information five catches for 50 yards 10 catches for 120 yards it didn’t matter I’m trying to gather as much information
I can win or lose I think the Bucks looking at this is look guys look how they shot the and they got a bunch of them up and we know they’re going to get a bunch of Threes up but we were right there now yis book
Y y’s gonna get 30 and 10 I don’t give a damn what you do Boston you can’t stop that he getting 30 and 10 the question is can Dame give me 27 to 30 officially for the SE for the the the whole series yes he’s going to have to
Be that nah not well you know how you say you collect information yes well that’s docs that’s Doc’s weakness oh Lord have mercy there you go because no because exactly what you said you said they’re looking at this game and said we didn’t have Giannis yes that is
His gon that’s his speech in that locker room as we speak hey you know guys we kept fighting back we played hard uh you know we didn’t have Giannis today look what we did we put them on the bricks they made this we did that and then play
Them exactly the same damn way the very next game he doesn’t adjust well because he makes up an excuse for why they lost so he’s okay with we fought hard instead of going in there and said we didn’t do this well we need to clean this up we
Need to clean this up and then go the next game with a different game plan he’s going to go into the same the the the next game with the same exact game plan and wonder why he can’t win around well how about this even if Dame
Does it well because if Dame look I need to get somewhere between 55 and 65 points between Dame and Giannis because I can’t because I can’t count on the other three starters to give me 25 to 30 so I need at Le I need at least that
Because if Dame gives you less than 20 can I expect Beasley to have a game where he goes for 25 can I expect Crowder to have a game where he goes for 25 now uh uh uh Lopez Lopez he h a Miss I mean there
Have been games he goes 12 of 14 makes four of eight from the three so he can give you 20 The X Factor is going to be Chris Middleton because you know come playoff time Gil them games happen every other day ain’t no two days rest ain’t
No eight the biggest rest you’ll get is between games two and three yep gotta travel you get a couple extra days and then boom you back at it yeah so if if if if Giannis and Dame do what they do and Middleton can give me 20 I like their chances because Bobby poris
Is gonna give me some gonna give me 15 to 20 Off the Bench yeah you you will hope yeah when when it comes to uh playoffs it’s a little different because you get that Playbook on you get that Playbook and know exactly what everyone we we know exactly what you do we know
When Giannis goes left his passing percentage is 10% so we’re going to push him left knowing that he don’t pass the ball going left he’s gonna take that shot right so all of that is g to be put into it so you do need a Bobby Porter we
Just need one game of you being good right Lopez we just need one game of you being good and that should have the playoffs do so you’ll take your three guys right and you say all right we have Giannis Middleton and um Dame between the three of you this is how it’s we
Need at least 60 points from the three of you everybody else chip in we’re expecting out of the other five players one of you guys have 15 to 25 one game just be great for one game and that’s how the series goes you just got to be
Great for one game during the season now if you want to have three or four games and help us get out of the series perfect right but for the most part you’re not expecting your bench to be dominant like that because it’s a four game series so people are getting
Cut off and it’s basically Stars being Stars right well I’m gonna need listen I’m gonna need the bucks big three Middleton Giannis and and and DNE they got to give me at least 70 because I know jiannis is gonna give me 30 so if Dame Dame Dame gonna give me 25 so can
Can midon give me somewhere between 15 and 20 on a nightly basis Gil playing 30 playing 30 to 35 minutes I think he can give you 15 um it all depends on what team you guys are playing first um if you’re playing Miami right uh it needs
To be switched around Giannis needs to be at about 20 to 25 Jan gonna give you 20 25 you losing if L if jannis scores 20 25 points you losing unless Dame goes hay why gives you 40 to 45 can’t give you he has to
Give you his average Gil oh no if he gives you if he gives you 30 if he gives you 30 35 that means he’s playing into Miami’s defense be selfish we that’s why he can’t beat them because that defense is designed to cut off everybody else and just let you
Score so he is gonna have to become a passer just for that series he’s gonna have to let everybody eat and he be the decoy some of these playoff game it’s just like a receiver right right sometimes you got to be a decoy run your route hard to make
Everybody look oh and then we’re going we’re going we’re gonna beat up on this side a little bit right he’s never learned he thinks he can just I’m gonna get it this year I’m gonna get it this year they you know they’ve been playing me great I’m Gonna Keep that’s not how
It is they have you they have your number and the number they have is you trying to score 30 35 and if you you score 30 35 your team loses if you score 1525 your team wins pick it he’s never pick the 15 to 25 well they do a good
Job they got bam and Bam does a good job uh obviously they’re gonna help some but bam does a good job of defending him but I think now you can’t load up on him because they’ve never had to defend somebody like B that was running riding shotgun with it so them loading up
Trying to Build That Wall okay yeah look we know he’s gonna get one or two charges a game because he gets in his mind like I’m put my head I’m going to the rim damn y’all yeah yeah but he’s never had a guy like damee as great as
Holiday was he ain’t Dame on the offensive end and so I think that’s that’s where they could uh uh uh the Bucks has an advantage this time around if they were to meet because the Celtics are living clear of Milwaukee they’re 55 and 14 Milwaukee is 44 and
25 uh there’s only six G there’s only six games separating two through eight in the East Miami is in the e seed in eighth slot 38 and 31 and milwauke is in the two two spot 44 and 25 Y and you know and the the team that’s in the
Seventh and the eighth they had trouble with both of them because it look Indiana ain’t looking to play no defense make miss out of bound foul they looking to push well I mean in the playoffs that plays like that plays of the Bucks you know everyone’s going to look at oh man
Indiana did hey it’s the playoffs right and and the playoffs the game naturally just slows down it becomes a little tougher you know those those refs really let Play Whistle you know they they play to the Stars so IND a’t got any yeah Indiana is gonna be at
A disadvantage in the playoffs against the bucks even though their their their record in regular season has been dominant against them uh okay girl time for our next segment is called a news cap let’s see what the news cap brings for [Applause] today Anthony Davis admits every game is a playoff game for the Lakers ad said Bron is Brun obviously it’s time for it’s uh it’s that time of the year shooting the ball extremely well in attack mode finding guys he’s been locked in defensively so it’s this time
Of year especially for us where every game is a playoff game so the time of year extensively locked in and get the job done uh we see what they’re we see them go on the road and beat Boston without LeBron we see them at home beat Milwaukee
Without LeBron we see them win some games but then we see ad gets hurt and then they it had a they had a big lead against the uh against the Warriors and end up losing on Saturday do the Lakers have another gear that they can get to
Like last year that could get them to the Western Conference Finals uh yeah um they do it’s all dependent on LeBron it’s LeBron’s it’s it’s LeBron’s next gear that that’s it ain’t the Lakers next gear it’s LeBron’s next gear okay um he’s going to carry the you you know
He’s going to come out and um try to turn it up a notch uh it just made me laugh that this is playoffs for Anthony Davis but he went out with a eye injury um man that man elbow man I was right there he he got he got hit hard though
His I swoll up yeah I mean I know you can’t hard you can’t really tell cause you know he kind of got like like googly eyes anyway but he got he took a good shot he took he took he took a good shot to die I mean he came back with 25 and
You know 22 and 15 um it’s all positioning now it’s all positioning at this point right now we’re we’re at what the 10 seed yeah so we’ll play let’s say Golden State and that uh that end season game we will beat them right that’s going to be we’re just gonna hit the
Glass and AD and LeBron attack the rim because they don’t know how to defend the rim at this point they’re not going to shoot any free throws then we’re gonna play what between Dallas and Phoenix Phoenix and then if we get that eth seed you got Denver no oh you
Got Shay oh if they if they get OKC they’ll beat OKC I know in the playoffs yes sir yes they’ll beat OKC you you beat you you you beat OKC and then you now you have the number one slot which means you play four five which four five
Is Pelicans or the Clippers if you get the clippers for the Lakers that that is amazing because one you don’t have to leave two a Laker crowd on both sides the only time it turns into the Clipper crowd is if the Clippers is winning in the last
Four or five minutes then their their their fans is is engaged other than that it’s damn near a Laker game all seven all seven games and then you get Denver in the um Western conf Finals and hopefully you know they’re beat up by then if not well you know see you next
Year yeah CA man the last the last five minutes man that twom man game with yoke and Murray either dribble hand off the pick and roll or Murray breaks you down and then he hits Michael Porter Jr and he hadn’t been missing lately for that three ball yok gonna be yoke you can
Seeed you can seeed he like well damn because uh who do they play the the marage no who did they play the other night they played who did they play last night uh they played Timberwolves Timberwolves timber wolves say you know what we gonna let you score we ain’t
Gonna let you we’re not g to let you get 26 and 15 assist so we going to neutralize some of this he’s like okay I drop 35 and 16 on your ass with three assists yeah and then you got Michael Porter Jr he got it going late uh in the
Fourth and then he couldn’t miss and then they ended up hold they they ended up holding off Minnesota even though uh Ant-Man had a great look at a three to send the game in overtime but that’s the thing with the Nuggets that the last five minutes they make you execute every possession
Because they execute every possession they get they get every every shot that they want they ain’t taking no bad shots and even when the clock’s running down and you think it’s a bad shot for yo when he stepping back off one foot throw it up there you can’t see the ball
It’s a great shot for him you know what I think the last five minutes um Lakers need to switch their offense yes you want the ball in LeBron’s hands but it seems like when we’re playing playing him that’s where we lose the game right it’s the it’s the execution of the last five
Minutes I I think that we should be playing DLo and um Davis no ad and pick and roll they need to play pick and roll in twom Man game like Murray and Y and then have LeBron in that dunker spot lob spot so if you’re trying help on 80s rooll you have LeBron
James on the backside ducking in and coming to the because for the most part if he can’t get to the Lane he’s gonna do a step back three which you don’t need heat checks at that point the last five minutes right and then you don’t you don’t really need no bomb passes where
He’s trying something he don’t have it then he’ll throw it the Reed Reed just shuck that three up so it seemed like it’ll be more a better a better type of offense if you have LeBron playing like Gordon in the last five minutes where because it’s LeBron
On the backside we really actually have to pay attention to him um and that that’s how we beat that’s how we beat the um Golden State last year when uh Lebron was pick do he was the Picker he was playing slash and cutting because
Plan for it yeah or put put put a uh uh DLo and Lebron in the pick and rooll cuz LeBron to go to you don’t like LeBron the pick no because uh because I need unless LeBron is unless LeBron is diving I need the dive and I need Anthony Davis who’s
Gonna if they switch it Anthony Davis is posting up against a little guy okay so now he can just shoot over him like I I I like that idea better um you know him and LeBron LeBron’s going to step step back and then going to end up turning
Into a jumper yeah I don’t nah no thank you than Draymond Green says Kyrie irvan is the most skilled player in NBA history Dre said there’s actually nothing you can do to stop Kyrie from scoring you just try to do all you can to make it tough I make a tough shot and
Live with the results Dame L tweeted Kyrie irban is the most skilled player in the NBA history and quite frankly I’m not sure who can argue against that the things that Kreek is capable of are unreal bugy cousin says also Kyrie Irving is the most skilled is more
Skilled than Kobe I might put him over cold and I gotta put I have gotta put him over code that mofo 511 posting them up I can I can I can I can argue against it okay argue against it the question is what is what is what is
Skill I guess we talk about ability to handle the ball okay um finish I I think it’s a it’s a it’s an it’s a a skill to be as small as he is can finish at The Rim you can’t use height to to to to to determine if you can finish either you
Can finish or you can’t so if he can finish at The Rim he can finish at The Rim you don’t think is there’s a skill to be able to do this and kiss it off the glass up under here or SP or spin it yeah that’s all skill
Yeah so um so the question is how many categories are we putting in the skill Department right how many categories then from there you look through history and see who who checks off because Larry Bird was skilled right was skilled Jordan was skilled um wiy is skilled right so when we’re talking like
I think everyone just sees the flashiness and that’s consider skill and he’s the most skilled player because of how his array of moves which is only unlocked because of the rule calling now but when we’re talking about skill offensively skilled posting up mid-range passing dribbling layup package dunk
Package right there’s there’s there’s at least five to seven boxes that you have to check these players off and you know there’s a lot of very field players yeah for the most part they can’t dribble at a level 10 but some of them are at 8 n
There’s things that Kyrie is a eight and nine and that people are a 10 in for wimy wimy dribbling is a 10 for big man so what can he do that wimy can’t do right I I I think the thing is is that you one legged from the three he
He’s throwing it between people legs he’s doing all like you know what I mean so his skill level is very high too so right now it’s just the flashiness of the dribble that they’re skill I I Gil I honestly think people when they say skill they think they just look at the
Offensive side so I think we’re just gonna put it in the offensive bucket I think they look at his handles his ability to handle his ability to finish with either hand equally as well uh his ability to shoot the ball from three to shoot the ball from the mid-range he’s
On Pace to do another 50 40 90 I think only two guys have ever had uh two seasons with that and that’s Kevin Durant L bird has had a 50490 I think Dirk NIS has had a 50490 uh they uh Steph Curry’s had a 50490 uh Kyrie Urban
Is on Pace to have another 50490 um and so you look at him he’s a three level score he got the three he has the mid-range obviously he has the uh uh the layup package um from either side with either hand um I gotta update
Your five level oh he five level so he get free throw no no no so three so three levels is layup mid-range and three three you’re right right five levels is the ability to post up and ability of logo isos right so yes he is considered five level so like someone
Like Curry is only a three level because he don’t post up and he don’t ISO right so there is different tiers yes to to basketball but you know when when you just say offensively then Larry Bird to right played a whole game scored 40 something with his left hand said I’m
Too bored tonight I’m gonna be I’m gonna be like I gota say the right for the Lakers right so you know it’s it’s it’s to really say who is and just stand on it let we got to put it in categories all right dribbling give it a rating drip shooting mid-range shooting this
This this and then go from there and see who is actually the best Kyrie is the best dribbler 10 Right Moves creating him and Kobe right James Harden did I think people forgot about Jame when James was in had that had that like that five six years stretch Gil
Yeah man people say people say he a better scored than than Jordan yeah I mean people yeah I mean the dude he had what he had like 30 something games or 30 something games where he had at least 30 points a game and he was getting 60 point triple
Doubles he getting 50 point triple doubles I mean and he had developed that step back it was nothing you can do with it it’s it’s like he’s one like Kyrie is one of the most skilled players um that’s walked through the league uh best dribbler by far yeah so you know um but
When we’re when we’re talking about who’s the most skillful you know there’s there’s more attributes to the game right the dribble and then the flash part of it right like Steve what is what can he do better than Steve Nash finish besides dribble I mean can he
Yeah yeah he yeah he can he has a better finishing package well you know um Steve Nash shoots the mid-range better shoots the three better drip uh pass better right so you see how wins here he wins here so it depends on what we’re using Okay speaking of Kobe Gil you defended
Kobe Bryant’s parents for selling his championship ring Gil you said you can’t be mad at the parents on this one they broke they got no money you can’t be mad because they’re selling the Rings the money wasn’t left to them they trying to eat Kobe gave his father Joe his very
First championship ring Joe and Pamela didn’t attend the coup’s weddings uh uh when Kobe Mar Vanessa Kobe parents did not attend the wedding in 2001 over the years there have been a brief reconciliation we documented but that came to a halt in 2013 when you give and
They take that’s what I said givers must put limits on what they give because takers will never put limits on what they take this is what Kobe said when you give give and they take take at what point do you draw the line in the say Kobe tweeted with hashtag hurt beyond
Measure gave me no warning and finally love now remember they tried to Hawk all this high school stuff all the trophies and all the stuff I mean got Gil I mean how much I mean how much how much is us in our community somehow we feel that no matter what our
Parents do to us we should no matter what some family member do to us man you gotta be there the hell with that I know my mom had have sold anything of mine she Ain about to get nothing I hope she got 20 million for it cause she never
Getting another dime from Shannon sister brother no you’re not g to do me like that just because you my blood that should be more of a reason that I cut your ass off because you know what I went through to get to where I
Got no I I can’t I can’t I can’t rock with Kobe pants I mean I don’t know why well I mean you said it but what ends up happening is if if if you kick him out the house and you cut off the food supply they gotta eat right they have to
Eat the question I got a better question why did he cut your ass off to begin with well well we can’t actually go through that live but let’s say they had his best interest at heart no yes Gil they how how old is how old is your oldest son 17 okay they’re
Gonna come a point in time that you gonna be 21 23 25 27 at that point in time he gonna be grown you can say son I don’t think she bro have to team done being with her but if he love her ain’t is you can say at
That point in time my son got married my son got married I think my son was 27 28 hey I had a conversation with him I said hey bro what’s what’s going on like Dad hey I love her I want to be with her
That’s who I want to be with I say you sure it’s the happiest I’ve ever seen youuh take off with it but but but you know that’s not how that works right you you know this is actually the real life how it hurts I mean works if the parents
Disagree like I don’t think you should marer like if you’re young we you need a prenup and the father who’s been an NBA player before right is giving his knowledge to his son right yeah well if if his girlfriend knows the parents don’t like him what happens when they get married what does
The girlfriend St or the wife now stands the wife stand is I don’t I don’t mess with them right no they’re cut off so the wife cuts off the parents no matter what so now Kobe is trying to feed them in the back end eventually the wife is
Making all the decisions so guess what if that was if that was the dad’s money if the dad was a multi-billionaire and he says you know I’m about to leave this company I’m about to leave this Fortune to you son and if your wife don’t get no
Prenup I can’t do it Kobe made that money his mom and dad ain’t got it to do with that if if if I if I got 500 million and I say you know what I’m about to have the world biggest bonfire in La that’s my damn money ain’t nobody
Got up and shot them shots with me ain’t nobody run with me nobody did that so what Kobe doing with this money I get parents you want the best interest of your of your child I get it I’m a parent but sometimes Gil the only way your
Child is gonna know his head hurt is to bump in him damn self and that’s a hard lesson to learn when you dealing with that kind of money but that’s okay that’s him but that’s the problem it’s not like they’re saying give it to me they’re saying that was their stance so
It’s not like him and Kobe had a Fallout Vanessa is the one who’s saying they don’t like me well I don’t like them they can stay over there they can’t see the kid it’s her stance now because she’s the wife right so so she is the
One who put the bridge in between the two of them don’t you should back to that in factor that in man I’m being I’m being a jerk to this girl what if this what if this is my son what if this is my son’s wife and they have kids how am I gonna
See the grandbabies you Gil you what person you know you can give them your ass to kiss and when they get into an advantageous situation now all of a sudden you want to you want to be nice you want to be nice to them they gonna
Turn around and give you their ass to kiss but when but again you don’t you don’t have to you got to factor in that you you thought these parents was going to think their son would just pick a woman over them you didn’t you don’t you don’t factor that in you’re just being
Parents yes you do no you don’t a son is a son until he takes a wife a daughter is a daughter for life don’t you forget that Gil you remember okay okay so you know what the I don’t know how but the Bible says when a man chooses a wife
That is now his home but but this is before the wife this is before she’s a wife he’s in the process of it they’re giving their father and parent advice okay he didn’t take it no he didn’t take it you can’t be you can’t be mad at
It it’s just it’s just like you give your certif hey son you need to go and get them shots up now you need 500 he do 250 you can’t son I’m telling you now you take the 500 is gonna greatly increase your chances of being what you
Want to be you want to be the number one recruit in 2026 that’s what you’re going to need to do you need to get up and get this run in you need to get like this you can give him all the advice that you want but you can’t want something for
Your child more than they want it for themselves he wanted Vanessa more than he wanted the advice from his parents you can’t be mad no who said they’re mad they’re not mad there’s nothing to be mad about you chose her oh cool we here living but we
Got to live right we not you’re not talking we’re not talking to each other we got $5 in our bank account bills is coming up all oh hold what was he in the NBA he didn’t have no job so what when Kobe retired he when Kobe got to the NBA
He retired was in the leag he he was in the NBA made when they made $62 well he should have kept 24 of it but but the thing the thing is Gil sometimes parents think well my son make it I’m straight I’m gonna get up to kick
My heels off that’s a nice gesture if your son retires a parent or a grandparent that was me and my brother’s objective but my grandparents would have never my grandparents always say when I gr I gotta I got a baby all right you all right boy gr I got another all right
Boy you take care of them that’s all she ever said whatever makes you happy because she say if you like it I love it because I ain’t got to spend one day with them okay the parents ain’t got to spend no one day with with Vanessa whether
They liked her or not your like or dislike doesn’t outweigh Kobe’s love that that has nothing to do with the love is survival no I’m just I’m just saying something caused this break Gil something caused this break yes it did it was Vanessa caused the break so they
Had to be on the out right so since they out since they were on the out all the stuff that he did for them before this break the house and all that they can’t keep up with it right they don’t have a job they’re in their 60s and 70s so Kobe
Was taking care of them now they’re cut off now now what do they do to survive the only thing they have is mbilia so if they were they were selling it before you were selling Kobe high school stuff yes when it got cut off so the first
Time you w the first time was seen that’s not yours Gil that’s not yours he is so so what do you want him to do I I want him to give him is back okay give you is back and still the the house that we have still does the bills don’t get
Paid so when you seen it the first time when you see your parents are selling this the first time for money to survive that right there you should have bought all the stuff out of the house give it all to me yeah we’re not to go down this road again here’s
500,000 here a million dollars because I don’t need some regular person C because when you guys get desperate again for money what are you gonna do yeah and and then when when when does it stop once you got all your St hey because that’s what I tell that’s what I tell
Kids get you get your mom or your grandma your parents a house that they can afford the upkeep if you gotta pay for somebody to cut the grass every week if you got to pay for somebody to clean the house every week if you gotta bro what are you
Doing what are you doing y your parents don’t need a $3 million crib that you got to have the upkeep the upkeep on a$3 million crib is what get you something they can afford the upkeep and keep it moving now I’m in a different situation um yeah yeah but
At the end of the day Gil being a parent and you a parent you know and what do we know about kids the more you tell them not to do something what they gonna do Gil they’re gonna do it little do they know as they were trying to pull them
Apart they was actually pushing them closer together I don’t know if they knew that they didn’t it wasn’t it wasn’t a whole bunch of fight it was just one it was just one one time that was it man you know that you know that woman love you know the parents the parents got
Pushed out of the relationship and that was that was the end of it there was nothing that was it there was no I mean do a part of me feel bad yes yes yes yes I hate that I hate to see um um families bicker uh I’m fortunate I’m very fortunate
Um I’m not married U but my mom kind of let me live my life this is what Kobe told ESPN our relationship isn’t is I say I’m going to buy you a very nice home and the response is that’s not good enough then you’re selling my is than
Hold on Kobe told ESPN our relationship isn’t is I say I’m going to buy you a very nice home and the response is is that’s not good enough so you get ready by your mom and dad you like you know what Mom Dad I appreciate y’all because y’all was great
To me y’all made sure me and my brother and sister we had roof over our head y’all gave me everything I needed this what I got for y’all you see I’m a firm believer and you’ve heard me say it the one thing I hate more than anything from a person is
Ungratefulness now a guy I uh you know Steph Curry I went to game uh Saturday and during the time I Steph came over there dabed me up hey that half time got of half cuz they was in front of and where I was sitting Steph came on I said
Hey what you got for you what you got for your UNC he said I got you what you need I said whatever bro I ain’t I ain’t picking I don’t say Jersey sweat bad whatever you give me bro I’m good so he said uh you know after the game after
The game you know come to the tunnel okay I gotta go through the tunnel where they are anyway so cool no problem I go back talk to Savannah and uh Rich Paul for a minute then I head over there he’s working out so I’m waiting for him to
Finish working out he come out he say appreciate you know we just talking you in the fat uh so uh I guess somebody somebody were recording it uh and and posted it and somebody said man I wouldn’t want no shoes I’d asked for the Jersey think about that he didn’t have
To give me anything he gave me the shoes yeah he didn’t have to give me anything how can you say if somebody is giving you something they should have given you something else how do you say if somebody is buying you something that’s not good enough that’s
Not enough now I I’m just saying that’s what Kobe said now I don’t know I wasn’t there because and let me tell you something else G people like oh you gossiping you do realize anytime that you sit down with one person and the person that’s saying something about
Isn’t there to refute what they’re saying is Gossip or hear sake cuz you were there to hear the conversation in its original format so how do you know so this notion that oh somebody going they gossiping no anytime you ask somebody and they tell you a story and
You weren’t there to hear it firsthand or the person that they’re talking about isn’t there to refute him is Gossip yeah so this is what Kobe told ESPN I don’t know if it’s true or not but I’m just saying something forced him to feel this type of way about his parents and I
Don’t know it’s hard for me to believe if look I understand that sometimes you know woman or a man can feel some type of way but you got to be in a relationship with the parents that you you got to understand that but at the end of the day no matter
The fight or not the house they got if they still have that house right we don’t know if they sold the house for money but just like anything you buy you buy someone the house congratul thank you I appreciate it yes you’re telling me I got to upkeep it myself
How how if you buy your if you buy your sister right now $3 million house and then tell her she has to upkeep it herself and you’re not GNA give her nothing else can she no okay but you know what my sister better not be acting
A damn fool and talking talking about sh crazy no but what I’m saying is if she starts selling your shitay some of these bills around here you see where I’m going now like if she yeah you already cut her off and she she’s like oh I got to pay the
Water bill this this this this Shan gonna kick my ass now I got to start selling some of this in here to pay some of the bills like sometimes doing something good for somebody is still putting them in a bad situation and that’s where they are they were in a bad
Situation I’m pretty sure they don’t want to sell the Gil they got a ring that’s sitting there there’s 901 $200,000 right there that we can use today that it’s on a Shelf yeah they they they don’t they’re not part of the Mamba they’re not part of
The Mamba Legacy they don’t have they don’t have the three 400 million dollars they can these shoot they’re not getting a percentage of nothing allting on the Shelf Kobe’s Legacy she got to be lonely because I mean think about it like the grandparents on one side you remember
Her mom tried to sue her yeah so the parents on her I don’t know if her dad is in her life or anything like that but the mom on one side the in-laws on the other side selling your husband stuff and you so you don’t have a relationship so you’re kind of
Like isolated I mean I don’t know I don’t know she has any brothers and sisters so I don’t know that kind of relationship so I don’t want to speak to that but I know it’s hard for me to believe that she has a relationship with
A mom when a mom tried to sue her I I don’t know anybody that has a relationship with a family member after you tried to sue me you a to get you a going to get job but Gil let me tell you a funny story like when my brother went
Went went to the league and we were living we were living in that house my grandma say well you know we ain’t got to move you can fix this up Granny it’s a thousand square foot cinder block no paneling a tin roof fix up what but you see how her mind was
Thinking she always thought she’s like well what happens if we have to come back that was her biggest fear that was my greatest motivation to make sure she never had to go back yeah I just you know look like I said Gil i’ I’ve been blessed I’ve been very
Fortunate I got a brother got a sister and we are close when I say we close now don’t get me wrong we disagree you damn right we disagree but we are close close close and so and then my mom she’s my only my only parent that still here my
Dad died a long time ago and then my grandpa my grandmother passed in 2011 but we’re close M I couldn’t imagine I just couldn’t I couldn’t I couldn’t imagine it’s it’s beyond the realm of my my my comprehension because knowing how close we were growing up and
Knowing that my mom did all that she could even though she was in Chicago she made sure for birthdays and Christmas and holidays and events that she could get there she got there and my grandmother did everything that she possibly could I couldn’t imagine being that way with with my well I could
Imagine being that way with in-laws but I could imagine being that way with my own parents yeah but that but but what happens is you never you never had to go they his parents probably never thought the same way until a girl got involved see a girl got involved with you and
Your mom said I don’t think you should marry her and then you marry anyway now that that that girl is saying hey I don’t like your mom and I don’t want nothing to do with your mom now that puts a wedge between you and your mom
Yeah it’s not you two it’s your new wife and that’s where the problem becomes right you you probably you probably you probably should have kept that to yourself hey if you happy hey Gil you know you you know you if you happy son if that’s what makes you happy know all
My Lord please have mercy watch over my son I mean you think one thing but you say something else Gil yeah you know cause knowing if if they’re in love as much as you believe they are you know he going to go back and tell now
Yeah you you know that now yeah no yeah okay and he ain’t got no reason to lie those are his parents why would he make up a fallacy about his parents or what they said yeah so now I might have been feeling some type way I know Vanessa was
17 and you know hey you 17 you like Co probably never really had a real girlfriend maybe did maybe didn’t but that 17 the newness of it you’re like ah this ain’t gonna last well well they Inseparable well uh I mean you you hit you hit the problem right there without realizing
It g gu and the thing was Gil I guess and guess what he had a ton of vision he had a singular Focus he found someone that could understand his singular Focus we heard bronda say you got to sacrifice a lot of time with loved ones to be
Great we found that person that understood and and could say you know hey go go be great and we’ll be and I’ll be here and hey everybody everybody everybody could have did it people oh oh I could be Savannah James no you couldn’t no you no you couldn’t oh I be
Vana Bri oh no you couldn’t no you couldn’t everybody could always say after the fact but I’m sure there are some times I don’t know this this this it might not be for me and then some might have said the exact same thing but kudos for them for hanging in there I me
Gil I don’t know Gil I don’t know I guess that’s why you and I ain’t married [Laughter] Gil Al alen IR responds to Brian wior saying he wouldn’t be as good in today’s ba Wendy said AI wouldn’t be able to average 43 points in today’s NBA and the
NBA world came to the defense Carmelo Anthony said he tweeted they will always find a way to dis discredit stay me 70 uh R Strickland please understand the difference between basketball knowledge and entertainment why are people giving so much time to non-basketball people AI
Would be AI in any area uh any era would he take as many shots maybe maybe not but we also have to look at his skills set and obviously what kind of impact he would have in today’s game Rip Hamilton said this has to be a joke please stop
The buffoonery AI would have been Ai and got that in any GD era hold that AI said that’s his opinion I mean I’m not mad at the man that’s what he thinks of that’s the way he that’s the way you think I’m not mad at him God bless him there’s no
Way I’m going to bash him or be mad criticize him for the way he thinks like you can’t be mad at because they don’t agree with you it is what it is y do you like AI taking the high road yeah I mean you know um at the end
Of the day what’s the point of uh arguing over what ifs and Theory right true right this whole debate is is has nothing to do with actual facts right we’re sitting here going and we’re talking about facts and this and but it’s no fact because we can’t it we
Can’t prove it we can’t prove it so we’re arguing just to argue for the most part um great players find a way to be great no matter what the era is they’re going to adapt you know especially if you are one of those really gifted type of
Players which Allan Iverson was right so um the game the game is different the game is more open for him to get through it there’s no oh yeah there’s no big bodies in there that would be hit on him the whole time and he gota you know what
I mean so he’s going to be at The Rim a lot uh a lot I mean so you know of course of course he’s gonna say I would the average just you know just to keep you know the argument you know from going wherever it’s gonna
Go right what he has is the players who played with him yeah defended that’s all he cares about the guys who played against me they had to guard me they knew what type of problem I was if they say I’m averaging 40 then I don’t need to argue with you right
True that’s true so true Isaiah Thomas believed that Net’s Legend Stefon mberry should be in the Hall of Fame Zeke said let me say this about Stefon Marberry right I’m speaking as a Hall of Famer Stefon Marberry should be in the Hall of Fame he’s impacted basketball in the
United States of America but then he goes over to China and he’s impacted the basketball basketball in China as a superstar in Chinese basketball ass Association he secured three championships Finals MVP three-time Allstar uh selection while becoming an instant celebrity and a major influence in the country’s basketball
Scene should Stefon Marberry be a Hall of Famer yes you know quick quick quick answer is yes um I don’t know why he’s not in it by now um you know Hall of Fame is it’s they take College they take account College NBA if you played in
Olympics if you played over do they they take all that into account right I don’t know why right I don’t because they don’t do it in foot in football and baseball they don’t say well relle you know what you have some outstanding numbers in college so we
Gonna bring those numbers into the NFL they’re like no what did you do in the NFL yeah what did you do in the NFL like so you know what he did in the NBA is Hall of Fame type of numbers yeah he didn’t have Team success but I didn’t
Know the Hall of Fame was about team success I thought it was about well how many allstar game how many All-Star games did he go to two how many all NBA teams did he make two come on Gil and y’all putting people in the Hall of Fame for that well well
Hold on hold on up you got to think about the the what Coast he was on and who is behind who is behind I mean you’re talking about a guy who was averaging you know 20 and N 20 and8 he was called the Ball Hog averaging eight assists
Eight and N assists a game he was considered a ball hog with 8.9 eight assists nine assists right for his career he was considered a ball hog 19 and seven played 11 12 14 years like I’m hold on he played 14 years in the NBA
Yeah with 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 12 13 14 yeah and what was his averages his average is 197 19 and seven I don’t know Gil I don’t know 16 hold on 16,000 points um hold on let me see somebody because I I’m hold on with those with two Allstar
The two Allstar two all NBA you think he should go in the the uh the pro Basketball Hall of Fame hey you know they got people who got 5,000 points 5,000 rebound rebounds in the top 75 and we just want to throw that out there well well yeah I’m
Talking about okay the guy played the guy played in the 60s the Le the lead score the NBA average 12 points a game I just want to say I mean so we can’t we can’t look at the numbers as the numbers but I mean
But we got to no no we got to look we got no you can’t judge him based on that era put him in the era in which he played based on the era in which he played good I mean that’s a stretch man damn and I’m
Flexible I mean six 16,000 points I mean 16,000 points two All Stars two all NBAs right I can see why it’s going to take a little bit longer but but you got to remember what are the players saying see this game is this game is is not
We’re viewing it from the outside of guys who never had the guard them never played it never schemed against them right right G Gil there’s a guy there there might have been a guy that shut me down in a game that only had two or three catches I don’t think we should
Put his ass in the Pro Football Hall of Fame no no no but but there there’s there’s got like to right yeah was first ballot no no was he supposed to be yes okay right yes so 100% of every football player agree he’s first ballot yes the
Writers says she St we G we G we gonna put it we G make that a poll the writers say otherwise right right you see how there’s just this big gap between the people who played against him the people who watched him during his preparation they have two different agendas so for
The most part you’re you’re not going to find many players that say he shouldn’t be one right I mean you know what I mean like his yeah his stats and act his accolades the the all stars most of it was popularity for the most part you
Wouldn’t say he wasn’t an all a Hall of Fame guard like I can’t like even without looking at when you said I’m like yeah he’s Hall of Fame I I damn yeah like when it comes to Talent there’s some weaker there’s listen this is how I look at
It he he was he was a main guy for most of his career there’s glorified option threes and option twos in a Hall of Fame never had responsibility as a number one player and they are Hall of Famers can I ask you a question do you believe Stefon
Marberry in the history of the game in the 77 year history is a top 10 point guard on all the point guards is he top 10 and what when what and as a point guard all overall ever yes no no no not ever top 15 okay we gonna move on we already I
Appreciate that I appreciate I appreciate that g thanks for clarifying that for me yonis hlam clarify there’s guys who’s top 25 in all Hall of Fame though we go we go we gonna put this we uh we put it up we gonna find out all right yonis Hasam clarifies his comment about
Chris Bosch being the most important player of the big heat instead of walking back his comments he doubled down and then explain why the fans didn’t really understand what he’s trying to say LeBron was the best player on the team the best player on the planet the most important on our team
Was Chris Bosch because of the matchups he created a lot of times when Braun and dwade needed to get into the paint they were attacking the paint now you have a guy like Chris BOS to face the floor he gets fivan away from the basket and just
Allows Bron and way to be the very best the very best version that makes sense yes I I I don’t think people sometimes understand how to separate important for the whole team and the best player ever there is it’s there is a difference what if you take B what
They saying if you take Bosch off the court and you put a traditional power forward or whatever there yeah it will make it harder for Dwayne Wade and LeBron James correct Drive the lane and be who they’re gonna be right so if someone said Kevin Love was very very
Important to those calf championships we will understand yeah because he can shoot the ball he can post up he can keep the for spread for Kyrie and LeBron to get inside that lane that’s that’s saying he’s not saying he was better than LeBron he’s there’s not even close
But for everybody else to eat besides LeBron James we needed him because he spread the floor open for us to get in there for me to post up for me to do all these other things right it’s it’s a team thing yes yeah I understand I mean
Like like Bosch was a guy that could shoot the three obviously he had to guard to five you know he had to deal with Roy H but what he was able to do that if Roy didn’t bring his seven foot ass out that paint Chris BOS was gonna
Make the mid-range shot and he could and he could hit the three and you needed BOS because Danny Green might have got that shot off not a whole lot not a lot not a whole lot of guys could have got to that shot like uh uh like like CB did so I
Just I just wish those blood crots man I just I would have loved to see what his career could have actually been had it not been cut short yeah yeah we always like that that’s the only thing I wish for for for athletes man that everyone gets to to to live out
Their career so we can see who was really the best ever but for the most part that’s not how you know life works and you know the fortunate ones that are meant to be at the top are are there right Ariana Grande had to pay her ex-husband 1 point2 1.250 so 1.2 five
And a divorce settlement Ariana Grande will make onetime payment of 1.25 million to her ex-husband dton Gomez under their divorce agreement damn Gil been a minute since I mean inong business of women oh my God the city boy oh the city boy is up 5,000 we up 5,000 city boy
With it city boy with it feel sorry for you I’m wishing I had one like that I you know I often you know what Gil I often think and I’ve had this conversation with myself had I ever been if had I if I were to got if I had gotten married to
Someone that was better off than I was would I get alimon or would I I don’t know I don’t know if I could do it Gil yep yes I don’t think I could get I can’t I don’t think I don’t think I could do it
G G I couldn’t uhuh right now if I if if I marry Oprah right now she sneez wrong we going to court come on Gil St it out man let her have that money I’m out of here like I’m I’m hoping wom empowerment hits her I hope
It hits her during our argument I hope she do you won’t bring nothing to the table you I hope I hope she do that so I can being Court pting them pting that chedd up I couldn’t do it I ain’t gonna lie I don’t think I could do it my pride would let
Me take it hey look whatever my pride had me marrying that type of woman okay hey sometimes you you’re married for look sometimes you’re married for money in that case it was for money yeah and it hey it’s just as easy to R po a rich person that is a poor one so
If I was you if I won’t get married I’m get the one with some bread 1.3 million that’s nice little lick like he ain’t even do it right he supposed to have a kid too ah come on Gil start it out for Real come on oh you gotta play you gotta play
That game right back she I mean look she an Entertainer she ain’t she ain’t trying to get locked down like that because you know that’s that’s gon that’s gonna put her up got a Britney spearer you got Britney spearer oh you got Kevin fed oh man listen G man let that woman
Be man I love to see it like I hate that like someone gets taken for the money right when it comes to love but because it’s done to the men all the time the other way it’s a losing proposition for us I know Ariana feels like all the men out there now yeah
Uhhuh that’s it you feel just like one of us yeah I had a little bit of she’s like hey h how you doing Miss Grande I think she dating somebody already Gil you might be a little late you might be you might be a little
Late Gil I mean you know look I can only imagine like when you dating someone who has a lot of money and yeah you living a good lifestyle but if you if you leave you get millions you get to touch yourself versus being in the house asking for getting here and
There like I’m sorry I don’t know I don’t know if I I don’t know how many arguments I can have how many times she can Big Board me how many how many umbrellas I can carry around you know yeah I mean it first of all I think it
Takes a it takes a a special type of a man to be with someone unless you’re like there right there with her but to know that okay she’s the main she’s the bread winner probably tough because men yeah because I think Men by Nature like we
Want to be leaders we want to be that the man of the house the head of the house uh I don’t know how it was brought but that’s why we were brought up in my home you know you be the head of the house you protect the house you protect
The family you make sure everything is secure at home now for the Ros in Reverse now you home taking care of the kids if they are kids you you know running the errands you in the carpool lane uh you picking up dry cleaning I don’t know Gil I can if I
Want to be if I need to be a leader that listen I’m dating Oprah I’m getting all this money being here being a housewife I can lead my squad on Call of Duty if I need that type of manip all right I can when I’m on that video game I can be the
Man and the leader of the team at that point other than that I’m not messing up this good thing trying to prove no point hey a broke [Laughter] leader has no power uh Gil it’s time for our last segment of the day is called Q and A DBZ said Shannon doesn’t like people gossiping about him but he has no problem throwing dirt on others people uh people to protect Vanessa Bryant did I miss something um her Wi-Fi was Pro is it probably the Wi-Fi was messed up so she probably got missing Miss some of the
Conversation I’m trying okay Shannon doesn’t like people gossiping about him but he has no problem throwing dirt on others peoples like to protect Vanessa Bryant is that what she meant to say probably okay hey his parents oh oh oh how am I throwing look all I’m say I’m like well
First of all I didn’t it’s not a protect because I don’t know enough about Vanessa to try to protect her all I’m saying is I still think it’s wrong that they’re selling his is that’s his okay fine I I get it you you you you’re you’re struggling but let me ask you a
Question what would you have done if your son wasn’t Kobe Bryant uh if your son wasn’t Kobe Bryant you wouldn’t be having a ring to sell anyway for 90,000 but and and but would you have would you have sold his memorabilia they wouldn’t be worth nothing to sell
So my thing is my thing is Gil you know like I said hey you know a lot of times people like uh I know they’re like hey no I’m good with this house that I got let’s just make some modifications to it we good we good right here son I
Just look I I I don’t I don’t I don’t agree with selling this stuff I I ain’t bashing them I just don’t like the fact that they’re selling their sons how is that gossip it’s in the it’s in the paper that they’re selling his ring wasn’t the paper
Y’all listen listen if my daddy right now decided to sell my jerseys online I’mma tell him boy you g you you gonna lose money because you gonna have to ship it you gonna have to ship that you know I mean a100 $100 for the Jersey you done spent 200 to Shi it
There goddamn it you done lost bad investment brother yeah but I I couldn’t I mean obviously the stuff that that me and my brother have not it probably be worth a little something because you know I’m in the Hall of Fame and got a uh uh got a little celebrity right now
But that stuff I mean my well my girlfriend I one of my girlfriends had some trophies but I think uh the house uh uh accidentally caught fire and it got burned up in that so I don’t think anybody has anything that outside of a a a you know
Stuff that iide like my homeboys like guys I played with like Burns and buckets probably got the most of because they actually have game worn jerseys that I actually wore in the game that I autographed them or shoes that I I mean some of my teammates
Got shoes and I think one of my teammates end up selling the shoes it is what it is but not my not family though not family if if Burns or bucket were to sell something that I gave them I’ll be pissed I’ll be hurt like I I I think I
Just want to know before they decided to send it the auction did they reach out to Vanessa they ain’t got Vanessa number yeah but that’s what I’m saying if you reaching out said hey you know we’re we’re having we’re we’re we’re down on our luck right now and we don’t want to
Sell this stuff we’ll rather it go to the kids right this is their father’s yeah I’ll buy it back yeah can you can you at least I will buy it back knowing her hell no get on yeah I I I would definitely I would definitely buy it back I would buy it
Back because it it it belongs um to my husband it don’t belong in anybody else’s hand if it wasn’t uh if it wasn’t an autograph or he didn’t personally give it because now it’s coming through a third party I would buy it back and probably I sure one day
They’ll probably have a museum um probably with the Lakers with all his stuff in there uh because I when I’m when I’m done a lot of my stuff is going to go to Savannah State like my hall of fame bus and the gold jacket it’s not going to my kids
Okay gonna go it’s gonna go to Savannah State I think that’s that’s I think they would they would do a better now can they put it on display I don’t know probably worried about somebody taking it stealing it so but nah I just but uh uh DBZ I I don’t really think I’m
Gossiping I I ain’t trying to protect nobody CU I got no dog in the fight we’re having you know every you know sometimes we’re having a conversation I mean Vanessa didn’t say anything I’m not taking her side I’m not interviewing the parents I’m not taking their side Gil
And I having a conversation Gil said he understands the parent I just don’t I can’t get down with them selling selling Kobe stuff I don’t if that’s gossiping I’m gossiping uh Angelina Marie said it’s not gosip is commentary about a widely known public family breakdown you know what G I mean and

That why I’m straight I can say whatever I want if I’m straight I don’t give a what I care for like 99% of men comedy so I look at everything comic like I can’t help but if you got to say pause between every other word that sounds
Remotely gay in your mind that’s your person problem not mine Sam G all right we gonna move on from s Santan we don’t want him to pull up on you night cap Samuel Griffin said night is the best do you guys have an all-time favorite March Madness team I’ll always love the St
Joe’s team with Delante West and jir Nelson h I fell in love with Carolina North Carolina actually the year before uh Michael Jordan hit the shot in 81 because the year before they had lost the national championship to Indiana in 81 that was Isaiah Thomas team Randy Whitman Rolando
Turner who ended up with a tragic in a car that ended up uh get becoming paralyzed that was also if I’m not mistaken that same day there was an assassination on president Reagan’s life I think John hinley shot President Reagan if I’m not mistaken that was
1981 um and so that’s when I fell in love with North Carolina but so I’ve been a I’ve been a a Blue Devil fan since then um so I don’t know I mean there have been some crushing moments I remember in 83 when uh uh Houston and and and Wittenberg was
It witberg yeah Derek whittenberg shot that shot and Lorenzo Charles dunked it in and and then you go fast forward all these years Villanova hit that shot at the buzzer to beat uh North Carolina so I don’t know if I really have a a favorite March man’s team I just I just
Root for Carolina yeah mine uh the first glimpse of of the tournament was when Chris Weber in the fat five okay right it you know the way that that swag that they had used all the kids used to talk about it in school so you know that was the first glimpse
Of of um college basketball um but I didn’t really like understand what the tournament was until I was in it okay and you know so was it like you could explain it to us there because you’ve been there I’ve never we were so locked in uh we was we
Was really locked in we knew we was we we knew we was one or two of the best teams in the in in the country right we we were number one fighting with Cincinnati until we got hurt the year before so um I remember in tournament
Time we made a pledging to each other that we can’t have sex um until the tournament’s over with who did that who said that uh one of our teammates um trust me we asked can we get some head can we jack off you know what I mean but
For the most part no right just go y’all going too far with that one yeah yeah we was parters like we we were party so you know it was like yo this is what we want to do we want to win a championship so we we all for the most part stuck to
Those guns and it was a BL it was a blast it was for the most part it was pretty easy right we uh beat Michigan stay by 20 in the final four I end up I end up getting hurt um in the final four soft tissue tearing my chest um on a
Shooting side so that kind of limited limited me from shooting but it was an experience it was really an experience I mean you know after each round going back home being celebrated um you know if everyone who’s ever played college ball can can really experience you know the
NCAA that’s an experience that you know as a basketball player you need to really be a part of because it’s one game you have to be on you have to be oh yeah yeah you go home yeah and I think that’s what that’s probably the second biggest bet event
Other than the Super Bowl is probably March Madness you would I would think probably probably yeah excuse me Dr Frankie L Bellamy says Hey un Gil Don stale is an amazing coach do you think she can coach an NBA team if yes what do you think could use her
Who do you think could use her expertise do you think we’ll ever see a a woman’s a woman coaching NBA team no no no do you know the names we call the man coaches yeah yeah you always you definitely have to bite your tongue yeah
And and then she got and she gota wait she gotta wait 15 20 minutes for y’all get for y’all for for the guys to get dressed like think about like think about players who don’t want to be subbed out of the game and stuff like
That like it just like most the hit most the coaches in the NBA besides Popp and I don’t know uh Rick carile maybe um that has enough like power to not be pushed out by the star player the star player don’t like you the rest don’t like you that that these
We we talk to these coaches grinding because you can’t do nothing we make more than you shut up right right when you see players get out and he’s sitting there arguing with the coach what happens if there if that’s a female that looks bad for for TV itself
Yeah yeah it does right it’s not about Ki Co the ability of coach that has that is not the bearing here it’s it’s the nature it’s the nature of who these people are and what happens in a heat of a moment let’s take somebody like Draymond Green how he talks to the other
Players how he talks to step uh uh C one minute one slaps that hand or say something it’s blown out of proportion so just logistically you know for the the the Eye the eye test is not gonna happen Okay ker uh ker no Jun say my
Question is do you see the 76ers winning a title with the team that they currently have within the next two to three seasons yeah and uh and 2K so that’ll be 2K 28 26 the 27 yeah they they’ll win one you know um you know you
You you do my player you pick the 76ers you go all the way through the season to win one yeah that’s the only way 76 is going to win a championship they’re not winning one in the the actual NBA in real life no no Joel embiid is Unstoppable I love Tyrese
Maxi but Joel embi is hurt every other season he’s missing significant amount of time and now guess what Gil he’s getting older tell me the person that gets healthier as they age you know what Jolan be’s problem is H is probably the same problem Shaq had they’re so naturally gifted than
Everybody else that they don’t need to do the little things to prepare them for the game right like Joel H your the body his body is the most important thing to him M you eating five McDonald’s hamburgers before the game you have Wing Stop and you doing this pregame and
After games but that’s not the type of food you supposed to be eating no right and because that is how he eats today his body is never gonna be that Temple that he needs to carry him over 20 years right he he he eats like
He’s like he’s a guard and he eats like he doesn’t have this weight problem same thing with like somebody like Zion right you know certain type of people you got to your body is what’s going to keep you from great and it’s not your skill right your body itself is what’s gonna take
You to the next level right the skill you’re above everyone you have to really dive into stretching making sure you your weight making sure you know you’re eating right you’re sleeping right that’s going to be drol and Beads next jump when he does that that’s when
Philly is going to have a chance as long as he’s doing what he’s doing no because his body is going to break down yeah that’s the thing is that when you look at it uh uh Gil is that as we Age we gain weight naturally and as we get older it gets harder and harder to maintain a level of Fitness so you have to work out harder eat better or you have to do both yep he’s a big man it’s already hard for big I mean if
You look at the big guys that played long period they were thin look at Kareem look at Robert Parish look at Kevin Willis look at Dirk niski they weren’t Shaq y they’re not gonna be Joel and be and it’s unfortunate that maybe maybe the thing about what what Zion has on
His size is that he’s like 20 I think Z’s what 23 24 22 and he’s like okay you know what yeah he’s like you know what I could turn this thing around should have did it earlier but I got it now cause he realizes that bro I can’t
Eat like Alvarado y I can’t eat like bi be can eat 10 Big Macs and gonna be 174 pounds tomorrow y you know what I’m saying I mean I I was on guys I mean I I had a teammates uh guy I mean you watch the way he eat
And dude still had he was like 255 6% body fat yep and and that that that is a real thing man like you know in the locker room like some people can eat that stuff some people can’t no like but if you 300 pounds you can’t eat anything you want I don’t give a dam I
Don’t give a damn what kind of especially basketball because that’s a big man yeah no they they said after games he’ll have bags of burgers this before he eat that before the game right that’s that that’s not the type of fuel that you need to be putting in that
Type of body right now JT said what’s up an and Gil France says they plan to start Victor wom Yama Joel andb first of all jelan be is playing for the USA but anyway okay Rudy go be for the 20 2024 Paris Olympics would they have oh would
They have one goal and the be didn’t take the easy path and play for bro why y’all want to Joel and be spent two days in in France now y’all wanted to be the man everything the man got it basically uh uh the wealth that he accumulated met his wife his kids
American his game his skill his talent American you know what happens with this is what happens with International Olympic time right like even somebody like Shay and Murray they were trained here they high schools and all that was here Ben Simmons that they’re here so they can play for the USA team right
What happening is when they don’t make those teams they have the ability to go play for Canada to the country team or where their parents is from and still get that that uh that USA experience right but why would Joel and beid go to the Paris team or go to the Moroccan
Team to get their ass whooped when he’s good enough to be the starting center on the USA team but but think about it think about the names they just said you got wimy five drol and beid five bear five right you got three five you gonna start all three five man
I mean yeah you got a hell of a lineup in the back of you playing Zone but come on you know what that that is that that is a basketball line that’s some I’ll try hey I I I put wh I’ll put wi at the guard and play a two three Zone yeah
That’s what I said I play I put I put I put Rudy and Jo and Rudy Gober and wimy at the guards good luck getting the three off now you probably gonna get around him once you get around him you got it home free with Joel embi is in the back
But Joel and be’s played for the US Stephanie Warfield said Gil and Shannon I think it’s commendable that you support each podcast Gil do you plan to invite Shannon on one of your nochill Gil uh uh episodes maybe you can make room uh make Grill raccoon whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa

If basketball players are more skilled than ever and he’s the most skilled of this generation, it’s stands to reason that he’s the most skilled ever.
We questioning Marbury going into the Hall but Divac in?!?
Chauncey billups or Stephon Maurbery
when Gil asked if “Pappadeaux” was a stripclub I hollered 😂😂😂😂 u gotta be from the south to know
a once a week show of a cooking show would be a good watch. 10-25 mins sign me up
That man Gil said if she sneeze 🤧 wrong we going to court 🤑😂
Its a conversation when they speak on the vanessa and kobe thing…but when people shared their thoughts on jalen green and draya, they were gossiping…i think everyone is just having conversation…no one is gossiping.
The problem with the NBA Hall of Fame is there is no NBA Hall of Fame. It's the Basketball Hall of Fame. So there are people in there who never played in the NBA, some who never played professionally at all. And some whose entire careers were played internationally. Based on what Marbury did in China, he's a Basketball Hall of Famer. His NBA career is the icing.
Gilbert was hating hard on Kyrie
Keep underestimating the Thunder…..
Unc like doing shows with Ocho more I can see it 😂😂
LMAO GIL NEVER CHANGE. SAUCY SANTANA A GOOFY
The chemistry isn’t the same with Gil
I like the energy that ocho brings to the table
Pappadeaux up north too – it's 2 here in Chicago
About the Kobe situation, I feel that is why if you have a business to employ your family
Dang if all this is true then Kobe parents are the definition of you reap what you sow.
Hey girl, if you can finish around the room you can finish around you can drip you can dribble don't put a height on it like you just deal with me
Didn’t Giannis sweep Miami the one series he was healthy in
Hey girl, you can't argue against it. Nobody can handle like him. He can post up all five levels like you said, quickness everything. He's the most skill you can't argue against. Cut it out
Gill is right for your team needs 6'7-6'8 PG SG to stop the Celtics you need size
Men made the rules lol smh lol
Love Wednesday episode with Unk and Gil 🔥🔥🔥
You guys should do a show with all three guys on one night that episode will be classic
Shannon please watch t money so with you and skip!!!
The Lakers last season won big games in the run they had without bron in case Gil didn’t know they as a team figured out what worked because bron got hurt 😂😂😂 Now bron being who he is settled into what he was seeing and allowed the team to do they’re thing while he played more within the team. Lebron can kick in 6 extra gears and it won’t mean nothing if he’s not playing within the teams strengths. We’ve seen it after he tweeted a bunch of bs and didn’t make the playoffs so Gil you gotta stop meat riding and tell the truth. DLO,Reaves and AD have to kick into another gear and bron is the cherry on top 💪🏽💪🏽
It’s easy to beat jokic let him beat you by scoring, same for Luka, same for Lebron, same for Greek freak. Don’t let players like Kobe,kyrie,KD, or Steph beat you by scoring they have to be forced to be more facilitators. When players like bron,Jokic, Greek go off by scoring all you have to do is take everyone else away and you have a chance to beat them because they’ll mentally try to start passing the ball and you can force turnovers if you play them straight up
Steve Nash don’t shoot better than Kyrie Gil only free throws nd he don’t got better mid range either stop the cap
Shannon clearly there’s something you could’ve done with Harden because they locked him up came playoff time…people that said Harden was the greatest scorer in that stretch is wild cause MJ elevated his scoring in the playoffs when it mattered the most and harden shrunk when you was allowed to touch him even the slightest bit
Shannon I’m so glad you came up with this podcast cause it’s refreshing…some hot takes,some hate but more truth than agenda ❤
Draymond never said Kyrie was the most skilled. He said that it's hard to argue against that and that he would argue Steph. Stop lying
In other words stephon marbuaru is like Mike Conley. Good career but not popular
Gil is a lying hater. Steph does iso
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾
Shannon is a real man who would not take alimony from a woman…. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
GILL TALKING FACTS HIPTALK SHANNON DON'T NO BARBER SHOP
I know this is a basketball podcast and it’s my favorite one next to JJ’s but I would love to see Shannon and chris simms sit down and talk about football!
What separates Kyrie for me is the fact he has a counter for every defense. He sets moves up you may cut him off but he setting something else up and gets open
That saucy Santana segment was hilarious
Shannon missed the whole point with Kobe’s wife Vanessa is dead wrong to cut off his parents
My ex-husband from the caribbean and he use to trap and cook groundhogs. He curry any and everything. 😂😂😂
Suga Shay Shay!
Shannon its pronounced stay melo not stay me cmon man😂😂😂
it's the basketball hall of fame, not NBA hall of fame – so it encompasses high school, college, and pro play
this is why people have been saying the NBA needs to create it's own hall of fame
After that bogus ass take on Kyrie Gil wtf
Horrible Kyrie take gil is on cracj
