Just last season Rashaad said Luka was the best and everytime he shoot he yelling”nihga” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 & now he injury prone
Its not funny its obviously racist. Just pathetic they devalue him just because hes white and are too afraid to look like uncle toms.
He spoked by that injure
😂😂😂😂😂
He just hate all players, teams, that get a spotlight because he never get one😂😂😂😂
He's just angry about his failed career. Trying to make a name for himself by being the black Skip Bayless
McCants hating this shit right now. 😂
Onb😂
McCants hates everything. 😅
dude's up there hoping Luka gets injured so he can be right.
@ronnbell7740 nah just LeBron
Y'all obsessed with Shad
Never seen anyone hating on some one like Rashad that man is obsessed with LBJ he literally told last season that Luka was the best player
And y'all be hating on Shad 😆😆😆 same thing
@@thefreakyrobber0 no one hates on shad bro stop it
@@thefreakyrobber0 he ain't nobody to "hate" on 😂😂😂
@yungslic5363 he more than you 🤷🏾♂️😆
@@thefreakyrobber0what ? lol
Can't wait to see LUKA trash talk opponents in home games!? Can you imagine the celebrities going nuts as soon LUKA goes crazy on live home games...
F uk celebs
He is going after somebody on the road games , he basically has better record on the road. Luka on road is more sure thing than home, but the others are better at home so.
@@natashakuzmanoska9656 I'm talking the Kardashians, Leonardo DiCaprio,jack Nicholson etc who attends Lakers game....
@@ramonhernandez632 who cares, they put on pants the same way you and I do. Celebrities are overpaid people
Lakers really have landed most of the biggest names in the history of basketball. Crazy work
What has tht got them😅😂
@@trevorrobinson8652 17 championships, TF you mean?
@@trevorrobinson8652 17 Championships
@@trevorrobinson8652u dumb as hell huh?
The second most championships in NBA history 🤣🤣 use your brain before typing on the internet
People keep missing the Mavericks has new ownership. There is no way in H that Mark Cuban would have allowed this trade. This happened because new ownership not anyone else.
Same revenue and Luka gets millions more for the same output.
@@Masterofnon3No he doesn’t he was supposed to be a 5yr/345 million dollar super max deal this offseason from the Mavericks, but now, the most he’s gonna get from the Lakers is a 4yr/229 million dollar contract. Which isn’t saying much considering the taxes in Los Angeles are high as fuck, so he’s losing money.
@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6m Except its being reported that he already has nearly 100 million in sponsorship deals LINED UP for him, that's how Pelinka is going to keep him happy.
And the money
Mark Said HE WOULD DIVORCE HIS WIFE B4 TRADING LUKA
Shout Pelinka for knowing that alter ego is a different killer. That alter ego is that Kobe mentality type player the lakers have been wishing for so I’m super happy as a lakers fan. Even him playing with or without bron for his last few years Luka Magic in LaLa land is a match made in heaven
Read more books to speak eloquently please... And stop speaking from an angle of some comic book protagonist. Both these GM's knew each other beforehand and worked together, what us there to shout out. And that alter ego, never mention that explanation in Europe if u ever travel. That cultural connotation about Kobe u have is childish. And no this isn't a troll comment
Pelinka didn’t make this trade happen. This fell into his lap.
NBA RATINGS 📈
Through the damn ROOF!!!!
LeBron is gonna stay around another year or 2 now 😂. AND they're gonna get Bronny good enough on defense to put him out there too. Luka, Bron, and Bronny are box office.
@@arenegadeboss 😂😂😂 You lost me when you mentioned Bronny
@@mikeculee7316 I would have thought so too even as a Lakers fan until I watched an away arena erupt from a simple and one by Bronny. He lacks the skill atp but if you look at the jersey sales and fan base Bronny is box office😂.

IM HOLLIN😂😂😂😂
Rashad wanna join the fun fr he low key mad he can’t 😂
McCants acting like AD not injury prone
14:26 You really just typin away...
Not really, they just had him playing out of position because he’s a 4 trying to play the 5 when that isn’t his game or position.
Glass Man AD 😂😂
@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6mso you're saying he was only injury prone because he played the 5?
Naw HE MADE SENSE...
LISTEN To What He Saying
McCants they weren't looking to send him just anywhere, they specifically wanted AD. This was was strategic
It was extremely stupid at best
Exactly. They weren't trying to get as many assets as possible with Luka because they specifically wanted AD. Other than maybe Wemby, AD is the best defensive player in the league.
@@td4906so why didn't they try to swing for wemby. I like how AD went from glorified other for the Lakers to best defensive big man in the league after the trade. Just embrace that LA gets favoritism from the league and let's move on.
@@piccolomairSan Antonio would not trade wemby for fat boy Luka
Dumbass Nico didn't even get multiple first/second round picks. Are you saying that Luka worth less than Rudy Gobert?? Mavs can't rebuild until 2030 if they don't win in 2 years they're cooked
Gil I want you to know that you got a real fanbase
Of goofys
lol
He'd have a bigger fanbase if he let go of the racist of the show, can't stand that big back b****
@@704jizzle2but your in the comments
Put it down for a sec
They need to bring Donovan Mitchell, AI, and TMac on the show when Brandon back on.
Facts. They'll humble him real quick.
Kenyon: Luka shares the same barber with us don’t do that shit 🤣🤣
McCants low key hating on Luka praying on his downfall 🤦🏾♂️
Not even low key
He hated on everybody that’s just his nature…
and then its all b/c he on the same team as bron🤣
mccants so stupid forgot how good Luka is. This was last year:
• 34/9/10
• 1st in points
• 2nd in assists
• 73 point game (4th highest ever)
• First 33/9/9 season in NBA history
• Most 30-PT TD’s since MVP Russ
• 1st in 25-point games
• 1st in 35-point games
• 1st in 40-point games
• 1st in 45-point games
• 2nd in 3’s made
• Top 10 in steals
• 61.7% TS
• Highest scoring season in Mavs history
• Most PPG + RPG + APG since the merger.
• Most consecutive 25 point triple-doubles ever
• Most consecutive 30 point triple-doubles ever
• Lifted Mavs from 11 seed to 5 seed
• Most games missed by teammates among all playoff teams
• Mavs 50+ wins
• Mavs 1st in clutch win%
• 6th best record in entire NBA
All of that don't mean anything if you can't stay on court and those stats didn't mean anything when they got swept.
@@billydakid601 brother, check how many games he played NBA + international xD, lost against stacked celtics team, who literally went to the finals or conference finals 6 times before winning it if not more, had to shop 6 summers straight to get it right and he got gafford and pj from 20 win wizzards team playing with Mr Pool and KAI who is good, but can be locked down. Going through tough west, while celtics cruising through east and resting players xd He will cook everyone, get your momma out of LA cuz she will be cooked as well
@@billydakid601There is no season when Doncic played under 65 games ,2 seasons before AD played 48 games next yeason 55 .
54... That is blatant lie that Doncic is always injured
I enjoyed watching this video! Your effort really pays off.
I feel like Adam Silva whispered in Nick’s ear. Told him about doing what was best for the league. Lila is the new face of the NBA.
Apparently, the new owners of the Mavs want to bring gambling to Dallas and is driving the value of the Mavs down to threaten Texas legislators to selling the Mavs to Vegas to persuade them to approve the gambling. Interesting theory.
Vegas is the front runner for getting one of the next expansion teams so they can’t sell it to Vegas because they will already have their own, plus the league and other owners would have to approve it. Could still work in theory but Seattle or KC could work tho.
They just didn’t wanna pay the Supermax. Plain and simple
@2luckydicenot necessarily they don’t “want” to. They just “can’t” especially with the other pieces on the mavs. Still a foolish trade. Mavs got robbed. You don’t EVER give up “Luka”.
Facts. Cuban said he sold the team because he didn’t understand the real estate business. That’s what he was alluding to
@2luckydice You should do some research on the Adelsons before being so naive.
"Ladera Heights" LMFAO. You better stop, Luka not bout to live off of Slauson. XD
Rashad is perfect for Gil Arena, gotta have one guy that's a hater😅
McChants Halloween is over bro . Y u still walking around with that bats😂😂😂
Kyrie and AD have both won 1 chip with lebron. This is finna be a movie😅
The work unifies the couch lmfaooooo
That pap and remy reference 😂😂
Champ on my arm. Barz💯💯💯
So much politics hidden in this trade it’s INSANEEEE.
Can’t believe palinka confirmed it too smh
only gambling law in state of texas...doncic and basketball are only collateral damage....state of texas is a virgin regarding a gambling...do a research on mavs owners and what they are pushing and bribing texas officials for....
Rigged trade
@@frankleni6718we deserved this “rigged trade” from what the NBA did to us with the CP3 trade!
What Rashad Put into Play MAKES SENSE...
Swaggy funny as hell
That Papoose analogy was craaaaaaaaaaaazyyyyyyyyyyy
Larry face making me laugh😂😂😂😂get in the bag Larry!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Big shout to McCants for adding more value to the debates by bringing up other POVs for consideration. The show would be weak if everyone always agreed with Gil's takes. Props to the whole team too for making it a great show.
7:53 that boy Kenyon on that BigXtha Plug!! 2 AM and live
The question nobody is asking is "with adding a young superstar and even more potential to win another ring, how much will this trade extend LeBrons career"
lebron old ass need to retire ima lebron fan but he out there hooping with his son friends just hang it up
@ dude just went 42 17 and 8... Who the hell are you to say that man needs to retire.
No reason the young fellas should allow him to do that to them. He can play as long as he wants. When he can't average over 20ppg then it'll make sense. But he ain't Jordan on the Wizards at all
@@iReply2Dummies he not gone listen to me either way so it do matter who i am bro im just giving my opinion
All Lakers fans want Luka to feel betrayed 😮bring out that monster
I am happy to give Gil and this show a second chance. They're 180 on Luka has been a joy to watch. It's proof that when they were talking him down, it was more jealousy than facts. It's great to finally hear someone else admit that his defensive lapses against Boston didn't cost them shit and he was great offensively (Draymond already said it too along with Baron Davis). I can't wait for the first game he's feeling it and puts up a 45pt triple double. That's going to be GLORIOUS to watch the reactions.
Are you a White guy?
@@bryanchrisjoseph5526 He's definitely white.
@@bryanchrisjoseph5526 are you black?
@@bryanchrisjoseph5526what does this have to do with color?
What a gross question to ask
This was so cool! Keep making amazing videos like this.
McCants now has to hear about Bron, Luka 24/7 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Gil ain’t been in Dallas enough saying ain’t no work out here in texas
Texas diet responsible for Luka getting fat
@@SuperCatacataPlenty of work in Texas. But Gil is from LA. So I get it!!!
@@SuperCatacata😂😂
I live in Dallas and the hoes here are way badder than LA hoes
Dallas 10’s are like an L.A 6-7
Nothing beats Airports though. Hahah
Thats a good point, same thing with Aaron Rodgers, had bad calf problems for 2-4 years leading up to the achilles pop
Gil facts about what we see at 24/hour Fitness in LA😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kmart quoting a Big x line is funny as hell 😭
I keep hearing that Luka is 275 lbs........but the Luka I saw getting of that plane was in decent shape
Looks about 245 to me.....js
This is the best podcast there is. Everyone brings it.
Kobe did ask to be out of LA. He went on the Dan Patrick show and requested to be traded. Of course Dr Bus wasn’t having that and Kobe is a Laker for LIFE, RIP.
You're missing the fact kobe did that because he wanted them to get help on the team or he wanted out. Then they got Paul Gasol. That was the whole point
@ He still asked.
@@madboyreadynow28 lol OK. But why does that even matter?
@yungKaution100 What is your issue? If you didn't like my response, why bother? This is a public forum. You are not going to agree with every take. I made a response. That's my right now matter if it matters. I didn't take you inconsideration when I made my comment.
@madboyreadynow28 you seem to be the one getting bothered for no reason. It's a public forum, so I can disagree or agree with anyone. It's just a conversation. Your comment made it seem like Bus forced Kobe to stay because "he wasn't having it." When really it was Kobe forcing the Lakers to make a move. You don't have to get sad cause people don't agree with you lol. That's life
The papoose comparison is completely on point
Luka looks like he just wasted money on a new house in Dallas and just lost over $100 million in taxes.. and y'all cheering.. 😂
Going to make that back and more in the LA market.
@ still has to live with the wildfires, earthquakes, insane amount of homeless, high crime, cold ocean water, high taxes, ridiculous politicians, crazy traffic, and the slight scent of pee in every breeze.. poor guy....
you can sell houses you know
@@barrybondsbigheadThe taste of championships will cure all of that
Perfect!! We need Luka in Tupac mode when he got with death row 😂 Ring this year!!
Gil I love you man
See Gil show lit crazy . I use to fw bro so tough as a shorty
My uncle played against McCants on the AAU circuit he said bro might've been the coldest goofball he ever played against, apparently bro had a stack of the cardboard burger king crowns even back then, for better or for worse bro always been him 😂😂
Gil got me weak 😂😂😂
Nick young funny asff😂😂😂 he said pelinka valued luka over UFOS
Gil “Number 1 Option” Arenas
😂😂😂
Gil got him a real one…he can make “work” jokes and his wife ain’t tripping 😂
When that boy nick said “he went somewhere when he was 17 years old“ 😂😂😂😭
😂😂😂
"I never had this many people ask me questions" as a introvert Gil is funny for that cause ninja why?! 😂💀
I don't know what this trade will bring, we shall see in a few
It doesn’t look good for the Lakers because they didn’t even pay attention to Luka’s health at all which is a red flag.
@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6mit is not ...there is no season when Doncic played under 65 while AD in last 4 years ..( 48 ,55,56 ) this is first season in Lakers he plays games... that is such a lie that Doncic is always injured ,why people lie like that when everything can be checked up on internet ,AD played 30 % less games than Doncic last 4 years
This pod has been on fire since LA got Luka. 😆
Brandon Roy was a monster…. TOP 5’s WHAT IF’s in the NBA.
Oh definitely!!
Len Bias, Bernard King, Greg Oden, Derrick Rose, Penny Hardaway, Brandon Roy, Ralph Sampson, and Bill Walton. IMHO
@@KC-4u2clebron james
Crazy thing is nick so silly all the time he was holding back a laugh but he was serious asl in the beginning
I wanna see Tmac on the pod!!
Make sure brandon there so he can keep that same energy.
T Mac and AI !!!!
I wanna see dj akademiks on this pod
@@lamarlashley8738 No one wants to see that corny ass fool on here 💀
Josiah’s monotone but hilarious transitions during the bullshit is the glue of the show.
Bro should moderate the next presidential debate 😂💯
Rashad McCants basketball knowledge is actually embarrassing
I'm w K-Mart. That water's cold in July. Lived there for 15 years and only got in a few times.Was always dope once you get in though.
Nico owed Nike/Kobe a big favor and maybe this trade was it, 🤷🏽♂️ who knows
Kobe is dead man didn’t own anything with the lakers.
He said it got all that doo doo and pp n da ocean but it is the ocean 😂😂😂🤣
I like Shad when he not trolling and just talkin ball.
That’s serious Rashad.
I know Rashad is in character but there is nothing bad him or his character can say 😂
How does a super star in his prime get paired with LeBron but somehow the NBA vetoed Paul to Kobe’s Lakers. I’ll never that that go
Simple. The NBA, temporally, OWNED New Orleans. So they said it wasn't a legit trade to trade CP3 for what Lakers offered.
And random plumber scored 10pts before michael jrodan did. Thats how dumb your point is@mauricerhodes1756
Cuz kobe or cp3 werent 40 lol
different commissioners
Pelicans didn’t have an owner so the NBA owned them. Mark Cuban, The Cavs owner, and another owner blocked it. That was after LeBron had and to Miami. League wasn’t going for it and the commissioner works for the owners.
Would’ve been bron if wasn’t a trade clause
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Gil was 6-15 vs the Detroit Pistons..
That means
Yeah, but he played in the East when Detroit was good.
@ to you? Absolutely nothing..
You must be young lmao Detroit was nice when Gil played
@@TheEugeneKyu why I gotta be young to bring that up? Why can't I just be a petty, older Detroit Pistons fan who is just bringing up an interesting stat that might explain why he's always trashing us.. ? Damn
Klaw literally pushed himself out, the crowd literally booed him, McCants just talking again
When you remember that Nico was the same one that messed up on the Steph Curry x Nike Shoe deal some years ago lol.
But you’re talking about Stephen Curry in 2013, but you have to include the ankle problems he had coming out of college.
Foreign players don't care about being in a big city Gil. Giannis, Jokic, Wemby and Luka were happy in their small markets, they just wanna hoop.
Its got a of doo doo and pee in it but its still the ocean 😂
LUKA IS HAPPY AND COMING TO GILS ARENA PERIOD!!!
There's already a hall of famer who wore that 77. 😂 he bringing rodman BACK🤣
Rodman wore 73 not 77
Josiah killn me 😂
I really wish Rashad would take a long vacation. He makes me log off everyday
Go head, we like Rashad. It's Gil who needs a vacation 😂
Luka is a great trade for them
How many month's until LeBron throws him under the bus? 😂
Gil thank you brother the best sport podcast in America 🗽🗽🗽🗽
The wife of a member of upper management said Luka was sexy. Then Luka gets traded...Don't believe me? wait for it...
Either that or someone in LA thought lukas mom is a hottie milf and there he is at LA.
Rashad just be making things up in his head😂😂😂
Mcants hattin is annoying sometimes
“Top 3 in the UNIVERSE!” 😭😭😭
RM is the true KING of this show☝🏼
The narrative and the reality of this trade will be very different.
McCants knows he can’t even defend this trade. In absolute turmoil 😂
The only issue with the calf/achilles, injury is you have to passed the physical for the trade to be completed. So the injury healing process has to be in the positive direction. Good point from McCants but don’t forget this is a big business.
Bruh Kmart really out here using quotes from 2am😂
Luka so depressed and sad. I feel so sorry for him 😢
Great basketball talk fellas 👏🏼 👌
Wow, i feel like Papoose. I love how battle rap was just was implamented
TMZ is everywhere in LA❤❤❤
What about this…Dallas gm knew he wasn’t gonna stay and decided to do right for his guy regardless. Amazing.
That quiet rivalry between Tatum and Luka just got louder. And another chapter added to the Celtics and Lakers rivalry. Luka loses to the Celtics in the Finals and now he plays for their biggest rival
I love this Gil lol
