One of them rare cases where majority of the show I agreed with McCants 😂
We know your a loser
I was like yo he’s actually cookin 🤦🏽♂️😂
@@Iamwetheppl I had to question myself too lol
All season so far
He stepped his game up in season 2
That bron kuz AD Dwight and Javale lineup in 2k was damn near unstoppable 😂😂💯
On god!😂 I’m hopping on 2K now
That’s why they won that 2020 lakers was a big team
@@certifiedchaos4643I don't remember them being that dominant.
@@DefSquadFan they had three Gus that were too 10 in blocks. They protected the paint also u has Lebron with help defense. The biggest issue with the lakers was the rotation coach Vogel didn’t utilize his talent despite them winning
On god that lineup was the best lol
I’m a LAL fan and we don’t win in 2020 without Dwight. He guarded Joker as well as anybody could. I’d take him back as a backup right now.
Ayoo taking dwight as a backup is insane
@@ExpoRecruitsespecially with everything that’s going on!!!😂
@@nickming8738 You know wassup 😂
Pause
AD n him beefed right
when gil knows he's right in a debate he just keeps coming up with analogies to trip the other person up and it really shows how smart he is. how easily he's able to equate the language of different things to be the same.
but he sounded DUMB
@@Jahp8375 It's been 3 months since I watched this but if I remember correctly I stated that because of this argument with mccants.... Now i'm not saying you're stupid , but if You ever find yourself disagreeing with Gil and agreeing with McCants, Just know that's what you are..rashad Is one of the dumbest people i've ever heard talk
Brandon - "I'm not going through no drill with no nine year old!!" 😂
I cried laughing because of his facial expression
Timestamp?
Gil trying to keep a straight face talking to Dwight is hilarious
Cus gil heard that dwight howard is gay, a man just came out and said dwight sexually assaulted him
why wouldn't he that's his boo
@ONECRAKNEWS is it. Are they a thing. Is he the dude that got his panties ripped off?
@@ONECRAKNEWScause of the court case lmao
Is this podcast before or after he got caught with the boi???😂😂😂
Gil got that Miko energy with McCants on this episode! 😂
Gil was wrong. Moving the goal posts.
They was tryna get Rashad bad in this 😂😂😂😂 he was holding it down with a “Winning Mentality” 😂😂😂
Rashad is the smoke of the show . It’s always great to have Gil pissed off 😤 😂😂
Especially when he’s actually right 😂
Bruh you summed up my take in one sentence 😂 I just posted a whole paragraph explaining why McCants is needed using a Batman/Joker analysis 😂😂😂
Gil talk dumb sometimes.
Mc is DUMB, and wants so much attention that he doesn't hear his own contradictions.😂
19,000 points , over 14,000 rebounds 3 defensive players a champion his career solidified 🔥
14K rebounds ? Is that right ?
No
and 2 receptions.😁
@@millionaireaffirm9914,627 I had to get the facts folks certified
Who stats are that?
Dwight is still good to me but having him mentor Zion with they off the court stuff is crazy😂😂😂
Yeah 😂😂😂 Zion stick to the female porn stars don't play with transformers
Zion like women that look like men too. The women he were sleeping with look like trannies.
👏 IT'S 👏 ALL 👏 ABOUT 👏 THE 👏 D!!!
👏 STAY 👏 ON 👏 D 👏 ZION!!!
👀⁉️ "Ayo...?" - Everyone
Zion needs to call KG or Zo Mourning somebody like that to work on some stuff
90% of Gil’s Arena is arguing semantics and no nuance and I’m here for it 😂
Riiight... but how is this different to Stephen A screaming?
It's acceptable because it's former players???
It’s way better this is interesting
People hate on Rashad but, man, he’s funny as hell!
McCaps🌈
...only if you have a simple kind of humor😎
@@themountain59 like you thinking you’re funny?
He’s a goofy
He makes the pod better, without him they will agree on everything Gil says
It’s wemby time lebron got 82 games 😂😂😂 McCant be having me in tears
That legacy back and forth was epic.
That Pat Bev sub from McCants was HILARIOUS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gil was hot when McCants basically said anybody who didn't win a ring was a loser 😂😂😂😂
Bro at 2:06:42 Gil damn near had a malfunction
Gil gets mad that he lost the debate😅 and then tries to move the goal post of the topic.🤣🤣
I still be wanting Dwight on the Lakers man, but having him with Zion would help him tremendously. Looking at the shoe rack dude got 56 pairs of shoes? Dang.
Demarcus cousins would be better honestly
I agree, overall and especially dieting🔥
@@marioskinner4907this dude obviously not a hopper😂
@@SuperMt24 why does Demarcus need to be a “hopper”
@@marioskinner4907 lmao you got me
Gil is the king of moving the goal post in the middle of a debate 😂😂😂
Ain’t gone lie… I’m watchin this after I seen the court documents 🤣🤣🤣. Dwight a wild dude
Facts him and "Kitty" lmfao 😂😂😂😂
Rashad McCants repeatedly saying “It’s Wemby time” is hilarious lol
cant say the full name right
McCants you should copyright that saying. It's Wemby Time. I like it. Put it on some shirts
@@TellaSpace2024copyrighting another dude likeness is nasty
Called him Wembyanna like he was Nicki Minaj😂
He’s corny as hell and meat ridin crazy.
😅Anytime McCants wins a debate over Gil, Gil goes crazy and starts fishing for an angle to win some kind of argument no matter how long it takes
😂😂😂 facts
LOOOOL winners mentality
Truth
He was smoking him before he said the wife don’t mean you married thing 😂
@dezinerdrugz I thought that at first but McCants was right about that too. You can be separated. Yall are married, but she's not really being a wife. Maybe for the financial benefits or whatever yall still married on paper.
When Dwight say “he feels like he still got more in the tank…🌈🤣”
Dwight Howard enters Gil's arena is crazy.....
Weirdo comment 🤣
Another great show that’s what you call edutainment ❤ keep it going 💪
Gil couldve asked dwight about trainin with Olajuwon😂
Imagin Olajuwon walked out the back one day abd pressed Gil as a prank 😂
Dwight keep it real. He gonna say that was PR stunt. No one gets that good within. Days or weeks or months. They just think most fans are NPCs that believe everything on tv
I love Rashad's insight - always has a great perspective
#LEGACY 🔥🔥🔥 the legacy segment was TOO REAL
Last year in the playoffs before Kawhi got injured he was looking like the best player in that Clippers vs Suns series. He was schooling KD and the Suns
Before he got injured huh lol
@@caprice3509yeah which means without gettin hurt he is better
@@dceltics2461it was two games lol calm down
@@tylersuggs11look ate every post season since 2017 he’s averaged 30
Lol how many of the those post season games did he play ? I’ll give you 2019 and the bubble but that’s it
Dwight would help the Miami heat the most. They need a physical center who can blocks shots and dominate the boards
Agreed
Didn't think about them but yeah that would be a good spot
Warriors. But you ain’t wrong
The bucks for back up center cuz robin lopez is garbage
Nah
This show is reaching so many levels of greatness that I have many times not looked at McCants as a crazy man, lol.
This was so much fun.
He was spittin facts this episode 😂
I use take his takes serious but after time I realize he mainly does to get Gil riled up. He brings a real level of entertainment, like I feel like I learn more with K-Mart and Lexie episodes and get full entertainment out of episodes with Rashad and Brandon!
@@tjd1895 idk man that Poole topic til the end of the episode this nigga was preaching “You can be married but not a wife” had gil sweating lol I’m pissed he didn’t say Will and Jada 😂
@@aj2468 I meant take his outlandish takes as serious as I use to because he do be having his moments where’s he dropping gems.
The legacy convo was solid.
growing up 1 hour away from orlando. dwight easily my all time fav player
Yo Gil is just naturally funny asl🤣🤣🤣 one day on the show is all i ask
Gil's advise for parents and coaching their kids was perfect.
Gil truly has one of the best basketball minds. He articulates his thoughts with such clarity it’s wild (agree or disagree). Dope content! Except for that ring and winning shit.😂
He also says dumb crazy stuff too
@@davidchandler6885 On purpose. If you pay attention you can tell when Gil is trolling VS when he's seriously giving his analysis. Gotta keep it entertaining.
@@YetiCoolBrotheryea sometimes him and mccants switch dynamics
@@YetiCoolBrother ya but u could tell he stubborn in his beliefs, why he yells..
Yeah man I love Gil he reminds me of that homie on from the hood you knew when you saw you were about to talk hours about sports.
But Gil meat rides Lebron so hard it seems clear to me he’s on payroll.
Dwight Howard not being top 75 is thè biggest NBA atrocity in the history of all history!!!!!
Him n tmac not being on that list is sacri fukn ligious
Yea that was blatant, disrespectful and total bullshit… it makes whomever votes guys in lose credibility!!! Damn Lillard is on the list but not Dwight??? Don’t forget they left the Dream Hakeem off as well!!!
@@scottbunn1222… tmac for what tho??? What did he really do other than score??? Never even lead his team outta the 1st round!!! TMac was super skilled and ushered in the new big guard that could shoot and handle the rock but he is mad over rated imo!!! He had a great few years but he was basically Alex English
Factssss I still can’t believe it like how ??? How soon they forget smh.
@@bryandungee1029 you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about! TMac overrated? Literally no one ever has said that sentence ever!
I lost brain cells listening to the Legacy conversation😂😂😂
Gil’s listening face got me crying 😂
This episode could’ve went a lot different if it was a day later
Ma boi Dwight is literally in trouble on Twitter dayum 😭😭😭😂😂😂
I saw it right after the episode
Exactly why he’s not in the league
Bruh Gil can’t never just say “YOU RIGHT” 🤦🏾♂️
Yeah I used to be against McCants but now it just feels like Gil going out his way to be wrong.
Pat Bev lives in Rashad head rent free what he said clearly fucked with his mental stay bringing that man up 😂
Seeing this after the recent allegations is crazy 😂. This was days before Dwight Howard’s career officially ended.
Rashad calling him Wembyana might be the funniest shit I ever heard 😂😂😂
Paolo Banchero rookie avg 20..5 and 5
Lebron 20.. 5..and 5

@@thekingsplacegospeldjc4847can’t coach effort and tenacity. Everyone on the perimeter most players not running for rebounds.
Dwight howard was a must see Center. Probably the most athletic center of all time probably the best defensive center of all time and he got a ring the guy has nothin to prove
Ben Wallace enters the chat
His glutes got injured a lot 🤣🤣🤣
Dwight is not the most athletic center of all time..... Wilt Chamberlain had a 48 inch vertical, bench pressed 500 pounds and ran the equivalent of a 20.3 200 meters... Wilt was a NCAA Champion in track and field
Dwight is not the best defensive center either.... Wilt was getting double digit blocks damn near every game but blocks weren't a stat back then... Olajuwon averaged 14 rebounds 2.1 steals 4.6 blocks in 1989-90... Ewing averaged 11 rebounds and 4 blocks in the same season
@@cmoneyno5 the fact he in the conversation he shouldn’t feel like he gotta prove sum as a pro NBA player. He had a good career. Top 20 center all time at his peak. The magic use to just let guys run by them 09-12 just letting Dwight fly swat they shots . The man use to block shots at half court at the buzzer 😂😂
Aye Gilbert legacy talk was life changing
the talking in the background well the guest responds is HILARIOUS !!!
Definitely gotta get Shannon sharpe on here . Unk would have this show lit 🔥
The fact that we had this Kawhi Iggy debate and Jo sat there without pulling up Resumes is infuriating!!
We talking bout skills
It was a wake waste of breath. Kawhi is miles better.
@@chrisisslick oh I agree for sure but the debate went as long because he didn’t. Like that shit would’ve been shut down immediately!
@@stannisbaratheon3356Kawhi is WAY past Iggy skill wise wtf😂
@@stannisbaratheon3356 Kawhi beats him skill wise. Iggy was just more athletic
Wish gil had never got injured he was my son favorite player at the age of 7yrs old he influenced him that young the way his versatility in scoring he played overseas until he got injured and now he coaches and he uses the knowledge gil potrays to this day thanks ( Agent 0 my hall of fame player in life)
this is why i watch this podcast when mc and gil are on it😂.
I'm 20 mins in and I've heard y'all fuck up Wemby's name about 50 times 😂
Mccant took me out with that patrick bev take at the end i had to rewind that😂😂🤣💀
They acquired a MONSTER.. I rewind atleast 5xs 😆😆😆
Impeccable timing
Lakers still need Dwight. The main defensive reason they won the bubble.
We dont want him tampering with our king no homo
1:56:55 That’s called semantics😂😂 Gil overstood what he was saying he was trying to make it out that just because a player didn’t “win a ring” doesn’t make them a loser… yes, you could have a “winners” *_outlook_* & still be a loser to the goal that is the finish line/goal of accomplishments within the league they’re/yall were playing & competing in.
Yes there’s nuances with league owners & players, how they’d rather have a “winner” (star player) on their team & be able to have crazy profit from the regular season itself, or players with personal accomplishments & goals, absolutely.
Doesn’t change the fact of the overall outlook with players, they’d love to get that celebration, ring, parade etc etc - from getting that, if they didn’t get that, they’re technically *losers to the “champions”*
Facts 💯 gil just mad just he didn't win a ring
Brandon Jennings saying his legacy on the bucks was better then Kareem on lakers was blasfamy 😂😂 he smokeing sum strong
Yo Gil you going crazy with all these addidas never even new they had so much new fly gear!!!
Shout to that Lox hat from Godspeed! My fav rappers/rap group ever! I copped in black and Red🔥🔥🔥
McCants hilarious bro. Wembyana so confident. He gotta be trolling
Gil snapped during the Jordan Poole segment. Whatever Mccants is smoking I want that 😂😂😂😂
Lol bro the argument is "is Jordan Poole a winner" Gil went so off topic cause he don't wanna be wrong
@@313RWJrwell you have to win multiple times to be considered a winner you can’t win one chip off the bench and say your legacy is defined. That’s a loser mentality
@@caprice3509 a "mentality" makes you a MENTAL WINNER sir, the definition of a winner is "someone who WINS something" not someone who "THINKS" they won something. Therefore McCants argument being Jordan Poole is a winner because he contributed to a championship team, his team won, so what does that make the GS Warriors vs who they played that year.... The WINNERS of the NBA championship, THE highest accomplishment a team can achieve together. He is a LITERAL winner
@@313RWJrhe was a winner that season
@@Hoodiek11 but nonetheless you agree that he was a winner, McCants never said anything more than that
Gil’s podcast so cold 🥶 🥶 🥶
Iggy has been my favorite player since his freshman year at Zona. Lucky to have him on my 2 favorite NBA team, Warriors and 76ers. #beardown
Lol i know gil wanna bring up the drama goin on wit dwight so bad
The Dwight story came out a couple days after this show aired I think
Gil said "I just wanna contradict you" 🤣🤣he just basically proved he'll never agree w mccants lol
McCants is stupid he makes dumb ass points
Rashad explaining being a winner versus loser to Gill was the best!!!
Let's remember when Ewing played the East was strong, when Howard was there it was the Leastern Conference. Context is everything.
Ewing averaged nearly one more block than Howard and have over 600 more blocks in 59 fewer games... Ewing averaged 11 rebounds and 4 blocks per game in 1989-90 and only finished 5th in defensive player of the year voting.... Olajuwon averaged 14 rebounds 2.1 steals and 4.6 blocks per game in 1989-90 and didn't win Defensive Player Of The Year
@@cmoneyno5 Two words, Leaster Conference.
@@cmoneyno5 Ewing could shoot, Howard can't. Only lay ups and dunks. You probably never saw Ewing play. Googling stats. 😂
@@JPrez1 it's obvious you didn't read my comment
@@JPrez1 I watched his entire career including college
Mccants was on point with the winning mentality thing 😂 just cause you want to win don’t make you a winner the concept can literally go either way they were actually both right
The fact that they didn’t mention Ewing had more points and blocks is crazy 😭😭

Good advice on coaching & training your kid 💯
D. Howard to the Suns! McCants is so darn Funny and Gil FALLS for it every time!!! 😂
They both right, McCants is just speaking from an owner's pov
Yo mccants is wild asf with that ring segment 💀💀💀 he went around a whole loop himself found something that’s comparable and still in denial 😂 this show is funny asf
The fact that a rapper created a league for the legends and other players shows they have a legacy. That’s the whole reason the league was created and relevant.
Better than Kawhi is crazy 😂🤦🏾♂️
Gil was preaching fr when he was talkin about winning and winners 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

McCants is there for hot takes
Howard deserves much more respect, he’s one of the best to do it
McCants needs to be put in a white padded room that allows him to hug himself. Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs lol
Are they gonna ask him about teaming up with Kitty?!?! ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Every argument rashaad gets into with Gil it ends with rashadd just silent 😂
Mccants was spot on the poole convo
that winning rant by gil is epic
Gil and Shad are both right about winning and having a winners mentality. The problem comes in because they’re saying the same thing whereas it applies to different circumstances. A player can have a winner’s mentality and not be a winner..,i.e “05/06 Kobe”, and player can be a winner without a winner’s mentality because of the team he played on. Jordan is a winner, but he doesn’t have a winner’s mentality. Jimmy Butler has a winner’s mentality, but is not yet a winner.
True. The thing is Gil's definition is catered to his career. Because he doesn't think of himself as a loser he doesn't define winning with accomplishments and he's correct to some extent. This time I feel like Shad was taking shots though 😅
@@gike2755Being a champion and a winner are two different things
@@tylersuggs11 I can agree with that
It's oblivious that someone didn't watch Jordan play with the Washingtion Wizards. Yes, Jordan average 20, but it was a hard 20. He was a shell of himself. He quit because he didn't want his career average to drop below 30. He realized he wasn't the same. His confidence, intelligence, and well power were greater to his ability during his time in Washington.
What’s your point
@versatillion15 Brandon eluded to the fact that Jordan at age 38 would average 45 ppg in today's basketball. When in fact he only average 20 at age 38 in yesterday's basketball. Dudes back then didn't take care of their body's like dudes do today, spending millions. Jordan could have extended his career had he not gamble all night, smoke cigars, and consume liquor.
@@sirbluv if they didn’t take care of their bodies why are players today getting injured more? & missing more games? Players today definitely smoke & drink liquor. There was just no IG back then for players to post their “training regimen”. Averaging 45 is a stretch but the game is easier today than it was before so I think a 38 year old Jordan could easily average at least 25 today. He averaged 20 when you could be physical on defense so how would he not score more now
@versatillion15 I would argue that players today are bigger, stronger, faster, better shooters, better ball handlers, and more skilled. I would admit that players today suck at playing defense. There is so much importance placed on scoring that defense is an afterthought. Scoring pays. That 2001/2002 Jordan wouldn't fare well today at age 38 and 39. Now, Jordan, at his peak, would crush it.
@versatillion15 About injuries, there is a difference in playing hurt and playing injured. Back in the day, players played hurt all the time. Today's players would refuse to play hurt yet call it an injury. My guess is that players understand that playing hurt could result in serious injury, even worse, end their career, causing financial hardship. I would argue that there were just as many injuries then as there are today. Today's players make way more money and aren't going to play hurt, risking career ending injury.

He definitely been coming back pause 😂
kawhi leonard doesn’t get enough credit for that championship in Toronto
Shaq in shape was running the floor like a guard
This video title has so much pause after the court documents. 🤣🤣
As a Knicks fan my first thought was they must be crazy, or just sticking up for their boy suggesting Dwight was much better than Ewing, but checking their numbers made their argument better. Ewing's best was 28 pts and 11 boards, and Dwight's was 23 pts and 14 boards. I did not look at block shots. Dwight may have the edge in rebounds , but Ewing was a better offensive player, and his role on the Knicks was the engine of the team from his very first season. Dwight did not have the same importance to his teams that Patrick had with the Knicks and if so that would be a legitimate reason he is not considered as good. So, their suggestion that " It's not even close " is exaggeration and false ! As for reputation Patrick's rep was he gave you 100% plus blood, sweat, and tears every game. That was not Dwight's reputation. So, comparing both of them proves how important a reputation is for " legacy "!
Facts
Ewing averaged nearly one more block and have over 600 more blocks for his career
Ewing averaged 4 blocks in the season he averaged 28 and 11
