“Is smiling a prerequisite to playing basketball?” That question alone spoke volumes to me about why Rashad was/is the way he is. His dad.. his dad is at least 80% of the reason that Rashad had such a bad attitude and terrible sportsmanship. Imagine growing up playing sports with a dad like that in your ear
I can't describe how much I appreciate your work and your attitude! The fact that you always listen to what your subs are saying in the comments, that you are always open to discuss topics... way to go man!
The parents, the parents the parents. As a child of 2 toxic parents who taught me all the wrong things. It takes a deep pool of self-awareness to understand that those close to you aren't really helping.
Being a life long Tarheels hoops fan, this was right on point bruh. McCants was a dog but then became a stooly because he did nothing to make his fall "soft" when it was all said and done. Take up your own cross bruh, you cant accept that YOU DID WRONG Rashad. GREAT video👍🏾✊🏾
Rashad McCants:talented and had all the tangibles in high school and college...Honestly i think mcants hurt his nba career due to his bad attitude and work ethic...The nba only lets in hardworking and dedicated basketball players who are all about basketball eating the right way and taking things to the next level...for the up and coming basketball players take advantage of these blessings and opportunities in basketball before you miss out on something good...
Just came upon your page and then found this video. Great stuff man. When McCants played his freshman season at UNC, I was for sure the dude was going to be an NBA star. He could just score at will sometimes. I didn’t understood why he never made it but your video makes so much sense given the UNC debacle and his take on current players. He never let go of the grievances.
His last year in the NBA he averaged 10 points. This dude could've played 10 seasons if he played the game and "smiled" for them more. I wouldn't have a problem playing with someone who wasn't warm and fuzzy, but MOST people would. That's just how the world works.
I’ve watched every episode of Gil’s Arena. McCants is a very strange & sensitive man. He’s a very awkward, unconventional, possibly delusional. He literally hasn’t spoken to Meko Grimes the last 2 episodes over a small joke about his fake Jordans. He only speaks around her, & acts like everyone is their but her. It’s always awkward to see a big 6’5 muscular man that hurt by a small jab from a tiny little woman. It wasn’t even that serious, but Rashad ego is so fragile, & he is very sensitive and insecure in areas that men don’t give a fuck about. Gil is really a good dude, because you can tell he understands McCants psyche & does his best to not offend him and give him a chance at stardom again. Gil intelligence is underrated, I respect him, & I’m happy for Rashad.
You broke that shit down amazingly 🤦🏾♂️😂😂 I’m literally watching no chill like who tf is this delusional ass muscle head dude?! He really just a odd person
I’m glad i’m not the only one who noticed this. McCants has an extremely fragile ego , he seems jaded and delusional as to how good he was and the role others played in ending his career including the Kardashians who weren’t as popular then and did not have the power and pull they may have today Lastly , he has still not yet addressed Pat Bev saying how he ran him out the gym when trying out for the Lakers.
Normally these are empathetic stories, but Rashad has shown his douchebag ways so much on Gil's show that people don't feel sorry for him. Everything in the video adds up.
Rashad is my 3rd Cousin .. he def couldnt get out his own way. alienated himself from the fam at time. blocked me from twitter from no reason bc he thought i wanted $$$ i didnt. just wanted to link up with him play some ball. He pushes people away thinking every one is out to take from him. talked to his mom after and she said this.
I went to St Thomas More in CT. Got the opportunity to play against this dude in 2000. We had Carl Krauser who went to Pit and Reggie Bryant who signed with Villanova and a few other high D1 players. Our team was no joke to say the least. We won the game. But Rashad McCants was killin. He scored anytime he wanted. Talked trash on every bucket. Every lob, dunk, layup. Even called the bucket he hit at the buzzer to force OT. He was an asshole. But I always assumed that was just his competitive spirit. But I guess he was just an asshole all the damn time. Anyway. Great story once again. Salute 🤞🏾
Right on, cuz his growth was stunted for sure.....well his growth thru basketball was. His growth in girth was not stunted however lol😂😂 #TarheelBasketball
With all of the UNC greats(best college program ever)who continue to come back to the program(my favorite college team btw), McCants is the only one who seems to have a problem.
Interesting thing about these stories, you highlight how key decisions and trades impact a players career. I hope current players watch these videos. 😀
Don't ever change the background music! Your speaking voice, the music, my blunt. I'm great. Can we get video on old school harlem hooper Earl 'The Goat' Manigault?!
No in College, he always talks like that about college 😂 he had one solid year in the NBA too, & he could’ve had more…he’s just so sensitive, & easily offended, & just outright fuckin weird 🤦🏿♂️ he literally stopped speaking to Meko a small little woman, over comments about his fake sneaks that the chat made 🤦🏿♂️
@@hereforthecomments_tvnaw lmao he tries to speak on shit as if he got the the same natural authority on it as gil and brandon jennings do having been great for extended periods. AND always says some bullshit. sometimes they jus pause and say nothing , like they had a silent "fuck is he talkin about" between each other. 😂😂😂😂😂
I live in Minnesota and a Tar Heel fan. I remember being excited when the Wolves drafted McCants and also being disappointed at him as a player! He's a head case! Like in the movie life I call him Can't Git Right! What's really funny is when you listen to him on Gil's Arena you would think he was the greatest to ever play! There's an episode that Pat Bev called him out and said he made McCants quit basketball in a tryout session with the Lakers. McCants got so pissed and heated he was ready to throw hands...From now on y'all are going to think of Can't Git Right when you hear the name McCants!
Stunted Growth your content is Phenomenal🔥 I wanna see you do one on Khalid El-Min from UConn. He made it to the league but obviously he did have what takes to excel. Keep it up bro✌🏾
First of all, thanks for doing McCants. I personally requested this and was happy to see you do it. But I have a lot more info on McCants. The word on the street is he grew up in a household where there was domestic violence and this traumatized him. At UNC, he was tricked by then Coach Matt Doherty into seeing a therapist because of his antics.. This is one of the reasons why Doherty did not last at UNC. In the NBA, he played for Timberwolves Coach Kevin McHale who eventually proved to be a poor excuse for a coach especially for star guards. He ran afoul of Stephon Marbury and in Houston with James Harden. As a matter of fact, in an interview Harden stated how much he disliked him and said he would never speak to him again. As far as the NBA is concerned, they have tolerated Marvin Barnes' foolishness, Wilt's arrogance, Rodman's off and on the court antics and JR Smith's idiocy. McCants has indisputable talent so for him to get black balled out of the NBA he must really be challenged psychologically but his coaches helped his demise more than any player I've known.. Thanks again JC Peace.
Buzzer Beater Great points! I think what really made it over for him though was him trying to take down such a storied franchise publicly and so matter of factly. But what you said was great. I didn't know that about Harden and McHale. Love bro ✌🏾️
@@stuntedgrowth Thanks for the love. Please do Frank Mason III. This guy has every award imaginable including a gold medal from the World University Games.
Here’s the thing, I don’t know about McCants personal life, so I won’t speak on that. That being said, the word on the street was that when he was at UNC, he was arrogant and/or standoffish. Matt Doherty might’ve been in over his head, but McCants also had/has issues with Roy Williams too. He’s the common denominator in both scenarios. As for McHale, he’s not a great coach, but he’s not terrible either. Stephon Marbury had issues with everybody. He did KG dirty and had issues with Larry Brown and Isiah Thomas. Who’s the common denominator? As for Harden, he’s also no saint. He’s always failed when it really counts. Remember McHale got him to the West Finals in 2015. The biggest thing with McCants for me was he wasn’t as great as he thought. Even when they won the title in 05, I knew that Felton and Marvin Williams would have long pro careers. Felton had a defined position and was a good enough athlete to survive in the NBA. Marvin was a 6’9 athlete who had decent range. McCants was an undersized 2 guard with limited handle, decent but not great athleticism, and not enough range to keep defenses off balance. Wilt was a 7’1 freak of nature. JR is 6’5, a great athlete(especially in his Denver days) who had unlimited range and could get hot in the blink of an eye and was a decent defender when he put his mind to it. Carolina has/had many alums in high places from MJ to Larry Brown to George Karl to Mitch Kupchek. The fact that none of them even bothered to sign McCants speaks volumes. On a positive note, McCants did leave a letter at UNC recently and maybe he’s trying to make amends!
I am a little older than McCants but we grew up next door to his family. There wasn’t no domestic violence in the home I can vouch that. He was really close to his two sisters, but his dad was really hard on him as far as tough love, he pushed him in doing his schoolwork and especially when it comes to basketball. I noticed his arrogance his freshman year at my old high school, he was way ahead physically and skill wise as a freshman and I think that went to his head. I only attended two games of his at UNC, the first one was against Duke at home when beat them and the national championship game both games I was invited to by his father. Not going lie even at those games he gave me the cold shoulder as if he didn’t know me.
You 100 percent correct. McCants is a very passionate but very awkward & sensitive man. He’s a very strange & unconventional person. He literally hasn’t spoken to Meko Grimes the last 2 games over her joking about his fake Jordans. He won’t look at her, address her, or insert himself in any debate she is in. He’s just giving her the silent treatment, you can tell she really hurt his feelings.
He was my FAVORITE player on that squad who won the 2005 National Championship! HUGE UNC Fan... Loved Mccants until he tried pulling that little stunt he pulled. I still have tons of autographs of his in my UNC collection. I'm from about 45 mins away from Asheville so we were all happy to see Mccants attend UNC!
I'm about 20 minutes from asheville and we went to the same high school (Erwin high). He was a little older than me and I didn't know him personally but I always rooted for him.
I think it was just the time. Dudes was different then and they percieved attitude was how many survived growing up. Especially leaving the hood to go to prep schools and programs like UNC. After this era kids realized they had to drop the hood mentality to make it.
One thing you didn’t mention that I think is pertinent info is according to him Casey his coach as a rookie didn’t play rookies. Mccants had lots of his own issues but that one I can believe wasn’t an excuse just a fact. I’ve heard of other nba coaches being like that which isn’t cool and can stunt player growth
Extreme issues with self discipline... when he wanted to play for real he showed all-star potential (averaged almost 20 ppg in one of his seasons in NY), but his lack of judgement and his ignoring the requirements of being a professional athlete led him to a disappointing career
My big issue is with him is that I’m a Heat fan, and he’s always rocking some of the dopest gear while giving horrendous takes. Like, why you gotta be repping my squad saying that Westbrook is a better scorer than Kawaii and PG13 when he wants to be. Take that Miami gear off, bro and get a grip on reality.
Seeing how he acts on the Gil podcast it seems like he self sabotaged a lot lol.. he has a huge ego which isn’t rare in the nba but he acts like he was just the star of the team.. it just gives he had a me Me me mindset
I kind of forgot about this guy. I just saw a clip on him getting roasted for wearing fake Jordans. And I was wondering why he was so sensitive. It all makes sense now.
He thought/thinks he was better than what he was, his attitude didnt match his game, he wasn't good enough to the point where people had to deal with him at the pro level, he had a Kobe attitude with a avg NBA game
I just watched him get mad because he had on fake Jordan’s and said everybody against him 😂 especially Gil . This crazy

Playing 1 NBA game is a blessing from the most high
He didn't have stunted growth, he wasn't even nice in college he was okay...nobody thought he was going to be a star...
Wtf you talking about young kid. He was nice
U a hater
Pat bev just told him he cook him a lakers workout 😂😂😂😂
Can we get an Eddy Curry episode?
Extreme issues with self discipline... when he wanted to play for real he showed all-star potential (averaged almost 20 ppg in one of his seasons in NY), but his lack of judgement and his ignoring the requirements of being a professional athlete led him to a disappointing career
Do Cliff Alexander bro
Nah..not worth it,even in college he was ass..overrated...BIG TIME
Revisions needed for today appreciate it
His reaction in the Bol Bol video on Gil’s Arena makes a ton of sense now.
My big issue is with him is that I’m a Heat fan, and he’s always rocking some of the dopest gear while giving horrendous takes.
Like, why you gotta be repping my squad saying that Westbrook is a better scorer than Kawaii and PG13 when he wants to be.
Take that Miami gear off, bro and get a grip on reality.
As a fellow Heat fan, thank you!
He is the exact opposite of everything that MIA is about, that’s what makes it so bad to me
He wears a crown all the time he is cringe.
Do pj Hairston next brother love your content
His takes on Gil’s show come off as if he’s just some street dude at the barber shop and didnt actually play
I jus saw him talking crazy to Pat Bev deadass had no idea he was a good prospect
Lol, damn, I just left a comment on one of your other videos that you should do this guy :)
It’s called, “lack of accountability”.
After I saw the heated exchange between him and pat bev I was left with one question who is he… and now I understand why
How about
Wayne Simien
Robert Swift
Mateen Cleaves
Def. Simien
Gil’s Arena brought me here lol
Seeing how he acts on the Gil podcast it seems like he self sabotaged a lot lol.. he has a huge ego which isn’t rare in the nba but he acts like he was just the star of the team.. it just gives he had a me Me me mindset
Gil’s show is entertainment. Nobody on that show is being serious they all play a role
I kind of forgot about this guy. I just saw a clip on him getting roasted for wearing fake Jordans. And I was wondering why he was so sensitive. It all makes sense now.
Acie Law...
Went to my high school. Would come back and hoop with us in open gym
Man Bro I love these videos, I think you should do one on Deron Williams
To be fair about the team USA, Coach Sampson was a tough coach to satisfy. Had a friend play for him in oklahoma.
Mcc-never-was is Gil’s version of queens flip😂😂😂
Any thoughts on other Tar Heels who didnt succeed in the NBA
Tyler Hansborough
Sean May
Dumisa Tony Johnson Tyler could easily be featured as well. He was such a beast in college, you'd think he'd have success in the league but nope.
I’m a die hard Tar Heel fan… and McCants was one of my favorite players. He was a special talent but didn’t have it between the ears.
Great video of Rashad! Did you do one on Sean May? For some reason, I thought he was the next Shaq 🤦🏾♂️oops lol
1 and done was definitely a thing back then
90k around the corner you've come so far
Being angry while making millions is crazy 😂😂showing more emotion in a big 3 league
You gotta do Jason Fraser and A.J Price high school teammates
He is the short bus captain!
This the dude who talk like he got 7 rings on Gil’s Arena?
Yes that's the guy. Lol
He thought/thinks he was better than what he was, his attitude didnt match his game, he wasn't good enough to the point where people had to deal with him at the pro level, he had a Kobe attitude with a avg NBA game
