tonight the Kings sweep the lake sweep
the season the season series from the
Lakers uh 40 they win tonight’s game 120
to 107 the Kings dominated the Lakers in
the second half I think they outscored
him something like 28 to 11 28 to 17
outscored them by 11 uh Dam Mones sabon
is now 10 and0 against Anthony Davis he
had another triple double uh he leads
the league in triple doubles how he’s
not if he’s not going to be an all-nba
player they should do away with it I
don’t care if you said it’s cheap or not
uh he finished tonight with 17 points 19
rebounds and 10 assists 14 defensive
rebounds five offensive rebounds and he
was a plus 10 was only he only took 10
shots so he was outstanding uh and they
thoroughly dominate the Lakers in the
second half and they win comfortably 120
to 107 Gil you watch this game in its
entirety what did you take away from
it uh listen um we we always have a
great first quarter right halime we’re
trying to make a comeback that third
quarter kills us um yeah we we come out
flat um there needs to be some plays uh
there needs to be like first five plays
at a uh after halftime has to be some
way to get the team going um sabonis
plays against ad like like ad owes him
for
sure yeah yeah he he he owes that man
something because you know every every
time he sees ad’s face he’s in he’s in
he’s in he’s he’s not intimidated by him
at all he go he goes at
it that’s what makes me question
defensive players because you you a top
defensive player and you got a guy
coming at your head like yeah you lunch
me out there yeah let’s take it to my
sport ain’t nobody say oh you know what
I want to block LT oh I give me Reggie I
want Reggie White oh you know what I
think I want to run the ride against
time huh defensive guys when you like no
I don’t want none of that let’s go over
here to the other side yeah well if I
get Jackson Hayes on me or if I get
LeBron 69ine I’m 71 I want that match up
I don’t want one of the Premier
Defenders help Defenders on ball
defenders in the NBA he’s I don’t give a
damn about that give me the ball I’m
going at
him facts and he goes at him and and and
and his showing his dominance so you
know when it when it comes to just the
intimidation Factor you don’t have none
over that team they feel that they have
your number they feel that
um you are easy work one through one
through 12 so it’s one those teams you
don’t want to play in the playoffs so
now we have to check off we don’t want
to play hell no and you don’t want
too no what because we don’t have no
advantage over them and now they have
all the confidence in the world going
into a playoff series so those are the
two teams we do not want to match up
with and we don’t match up very well the
uh warriors did us a favor last year by
knocking them off in in seven games
Steph Curry goes Bonkers in game seven I
think he scores 50 but the problem that
the ERS have is that they can’t deal
with dribble drive so now you got to
send help now they kick guys wide open
if you look at it they only had of of
guys that played Major minutes only
Malik Monk and Daron Fox shot under 50%
sabonis was six of 10 Harrison Barnes
was eight of 15 Keegan Murray was seven
of 13 uh Ellis was five of eight and you
and and Barnes was 711 from three Keegan
M Keegan murer was a five of 10 was
three or five other I mean they shot 50
they shot 52% from the floor they shot
46% from the three they out rebound the
Lakers again the Lakers keep getting out
rebounded Second Chance points uh fast
break points and so because they can’t
because they don’t do
well quick point guards give them
problems Murray is a problem from them
tyan Fox is a problem from them Shay Gil
just is a problem for them but he
doesn’t have enough help on the other
end so that’s why they that’s why they
match up well against uh uh OKC but a
but a a quick guard like Murray a quick
guard like Darren Fox that has helped
because you know Murray has yoke and
then you know you you you try to take
those guys out they can kick the ball to
uh Michael Porter Jr but quick guard is
gonna always give them H gonna give them
a problem because it’s so hard for them
to stay in front of anybody and so now
you get wide open shots uncontested
shots or you get somebody going to the
basket and so yeah the uh uh uh the
Kings I don’t want to see those kings in
the playoffs I don’t want to see them in
in the playin tournament I don’t want to
see them at the AA tournament I don’t
want to see them at the black top I
don’t want to see the Kings no more this
year the rest of the year I don’t I hope
we don’t see the
Kings yeah you know the the real the
real issue that we have as as just the
Lakers themselves and we We Can’t Stop
Jamar M first of all somebody Jamal
Murray is not a forward Jamal Murray is
a guard Keegan Murray is a forward so
all you guys come on Jamal Murray plays
for the Nuggets he is a
guard all right go ahead
G um the problem is we any team that
passes the ball more than two times we
struggle with right that’s our that’s
our real Achilles heel where when you
have teams that actually drive Pass and
Pass because when you got a guy that’s
30 when you got ad when you got most of
the guys that just I can stop you the
first pass and then when you pass pass
Lakers give up on that right so you have
a team like the Kings who do extra
passing even even U Boston does extra
passing but they’ll be better against
Boston because Boston wants to play
one-on-one so now gets the load up
LeBron gets to load up when you got a
group Sons when they have that those
multiple pass type of teams that we’re
going to struggle with them you you are
and you needed Braun to give you more
tonight he didn’t not play well tonight
Anthony Davis did not play really only
two guys played well tonight that was R
and Austin Reeds those I mean I mean and
there are some shots that uh uh uh I’m
not gonna beat d d DLo up because he had
some looks at some threes early shots
that he be I mean he had been knocking
down threes I mean I mean I didn’t
expect him to to shoot 50% for the rest
of the season from the three-point line
but LeBron missed two bunnies at theim
how many how many like six-footers did
ad Miss Point Blank he missed a bunch of
those yeah and so I could kind of tell
early on that LeBron was not in a rhythm
because he missed those shots he missed
those layups early one with ay uh
reverse and the other would have left it
so I like uh and then you know he hit a
hit one three I was like okay maybe
he’ll get it going but he didn’t play
well tonight ad didn’t play well tonight
and when you go to the half and you look
at okay ruy and and and uh uh atin Rees
are shooting this and then the rest of
the starters are shooting that you’re
like we in trouble we in trouble no I
mean not NE not necessarily because you
know ruy and Austin are getting there
they’re they’re getting their points
because they’re open right you know so
you know the fact that you know someone
like LeBron and AD are making that pass
so they can get those shots you’re
depending on them to hit those shots so
when it’s time to score in the fourth
quarter you have the room right so you
know um it makes sense right you’re
gonna defer to those guys get them going
so in the fourth quarter you’re playing
one-on-one basketball and you’re not
focusing on me now my drive become a
little bit easier just sometimes you
take yourself out of rhythm and that’s
what I’m saying about LeBron I mean once
like ruy and Austin had it going so he’s
like well I’m not GNA interject myself
because they got it going let’s not take
them out I don’t know why Darin ham took
Austin Reeves out I understand you like
okay you gon Austin you gonna play the
first seven eight minutes of the game
but the man go five or six on the floor
you’re not coming
out uh uh that that’s not called
coaching most of them are not coaching
they’re they’re they have a piece of
paper that piece of paper tells them
when they’re gonna sub not the game
itself that big problem in the game
because they’re not watching the game in
following it they have their sheet and
they got their time slots or when they
gonna Sub in and they have the little
blueprint and they’re not paying
attention to Austin just had five threes
we gonna nah they they just they just
all right uh sub you go you go it’s it’s
pre-plan you can’t pre-plan a game and
they do that and then you look at it you
look at it Gil it’s like now you don’t
bring it back into like seven and a half
minutes of the second quarter so you
sitting for like the final five minutes
the final four minutes of the first you
get that you get the break and then you
don’t bring it back to like five minutes
five minutes are going in the second I’m
like what the I mean let the let the man
cook hey bro hey you might have to go
the whole quarter I understand hey I
don’t know who he’s I forget who he
subbed in for him but I don’t torian
Prince I don’t care or or maybe Spencer
or maybe didn’t W it came in but and
that’s kind of that’s what I hate about
analytics because analytics just says
okay if it’s this this and this but
analytics doesn’t take into account
momentum of the
game y analytics doesn’t take those
those factor in and so when you look at
it and like you said okay I got a card
that says okay I’m going to sub AER
Reeves at the this minute Mark or I’m
gonna Ser this guy at the that minute
mark okay if you watching the game you
see Man Austin got it going hell no hey
bro hey yeah keep keep it going and that
even if you miss shots even if you miss
shots but they look like they’re good
shots like you have to be inside of the
game in real time right but most coaches
are are time
managers they’re not coaching the game
and sometimes but A’s not at that point
yet where he get to wave a sub off well
there’s been plenty of times where you
got it going in and you get that hit on
your shoulder man you better go get
somebody else you better get somebody
else hey subing for dude he ain’t hit
nothing all day that’s that’s happened
plenty of times there’s been plenty of
times where like this is where that
happens at where a coach is drawing a
play up and you come to the to the
what’s the name huddle and
see and I just hit three shots we’re not
drawing this play up erase this that’s
where that that’s that comes in at cuz
you’re drawing a play that has nothing
to do with the rhythm of the game right
now and you see sometimes you like you
see sometimes like okay you start the
fourth quarter and your starter start on
the bench you like okay we out of this
game and the and the uh uh uh the backup
the second team gets it
going no let them keep it going you all
a sudden okay starter go back a you see
that came back from 25 down and now we
down three you thought I put the started
there let’s keep it let’s keep it going
and uh uh uh torian PR say nah coach hey
leave him in there he cooking now he got
it going now let’s not let’s not
interrupt this
groove yeah but that’s players too
players got to understand you know
sometimes you got to sacrifice but
that’s championship teams will do that
championship teams if if if the the
bench got it going and the coach like
are you’all ready to go back in those
players were like n they cooking wait
for a timeout wait for a dead ball wait
for the rhythm is being broken right you
know if they’re on a 12 run the guys
under the bench is not going to break
that
right but that’s a team Collective thing
too but that’s that’s that that next
level of of basketball they just gota
that’s something will do that’s
something Boston will be doing right now
yeah I I just think the thing the Lakers
this is not a good match up for the
Lakers I mean there’s no way around it
uh Deen Fox is cat quick he stays he
lives in the lane he can get any shot
that he wants anytime that he wants so
if you trap him take the ball out of his
hand obviously you have to bring two
people to do that because you don’t have
one by Guy on the ball that can make him
give it up so he’s gonna get to wherever
he wants to get on the court so now when
you send that help now somebody’s open
okay now you try to run him off a spot
now you left somebody else open now you
get guys scrambling so even if they put
a shot up because you’re scrambling the
ball goes everywhere now they run gets
the re they run get the rebound they
track the rebound down on you so that’s
that’s what’s going to be hard for the
Lakers I don’t I don’t like I said I I
don’t think they could they could beat
the Nuggets I don’t care if they played
a 15 game series perod I don’t care what
they how many games they went to they
play one game they play 15 games I don’t
believe they can beat the Nuggets
especially as good as the Lakers are in
in clutch time the last five minutes the
game within five points the nuggets are
better yeah you you know what I don’t
see in this in this game right now is
the defensive like torian Prince how I
would play him as if we’re playing
against de dearon fox or Murray when you
come in the game you pick him up
Court pick him up full court so what I’m
going to do is pick him up full court
let him use energy coming up the court
right and then on the other end put him
in pick and rolls if he switches put
give it to that guy let him P let him
run let him run his energy down so by
the time the fourth quarter comes he has
a little bit less energy than he usually
has that’s what we used to do to Chris
Paul right uh when I was in when I was
at Memphis
uh Tony Allen picks him up full court
just keeps that’s all his job is to make
him use a little bit energy and then
Chris Paul is guarding conie Connie
gonna throw through three or four pick
and rolls first before he starts offense
just gonna beat him up because they’re
trying to wear him down for the last
five minutes or by the time the last
five minutes kick in Chris Paul’s don’t
have his legs that’s what you need to do
with your defensive guy you can’t just
have them back there sitting on defense
waiting for the man to come no use them
them him go up there hle something go in
there and be
aat that’s your job be a net get these
dudes tired let him use this energy from
Full Court pass it deny him this is
chess right you’re trying to you’re
trying to protect that fourth quarter so
that fourth quarter he don’t have full
energy coming in the lane dancing having
fun flickering on your big man like he
wasn’t even there
yeah well they got two uh what they get
tomorrow they got Friday they got a game
they got a Prime Time game against the
Warriors we’ll see whether or not Steph
is going to be there uh Saturday night
ABC Prime Time game I’m hoping steep
Play because I’m actually going to that
game and I’ve never seen steep play so I
actually want to see I don’t have I
don’t have night cap that night so I’ll
get an opportunity to sit and enjoy the
entirety of the game so I’m anxious to
see the Lakers play uh the Warriors and
I’m hoping Steph plays but then again it
greatly increases our chance of winning
if he doesn’t play but I want to I want
to see it play I want to see I want to
say uh my my my goal in life now is to
see all this generation’s great players
get to play uh so okay that’s my thing
okay uh uh Gil in the big Laker news of
the day D’Angelo Russell believes Dennis
shuder was the reason he couldn’t
establish a relationship with Darin ham
his relationship with Darin is the
reason I couldn’t have a relationship
with Darin when I was struggling I would
have been able to come up come uh come
to the coach and say hey bro this is
what I this is what we should do like I
can help you instead there was no
dialogue I just accepted it and we got
swept and here I am and he’s not and I
like our chances
uh I don’t think I I don’t think this is
new I mean you you’ve been in you played
this game with players having coaches
that they don’t feel they can
communicate with and I think I read
somewhere in the article and I think
somebody maybe it he spoke about it or
maybe the uh uh players are spoken about
it before it seems to be Darwin has a
longer leash with players that he had
prior relationship with so he was in
Atlanta when shuder was in Atlanta with
bu with bud and so he had a prior
relationship and it seems like he had a
longer leash with guys that he had a
previous relationship with than not and
so I think that’s what uh uh you know
and I’m not here to make D’Angelo make
excuses for DLo I’m anxious to hear what
you have to say but he said that was one
of the reasons that he feel that he
didn’t have a a relationship ship with d
ham is because ham had a prior
relationship with shuder and he couldn’t
communicate with him like shudder
could I mean that’s that’s that’s that’s
nature right that that is part of sports
right um you know the coaching staff the
head coach has better relations with
certain players right you know when
you’re talking about the the coaching a
player relationship you’re talking about
a bond um obviously the bond with
shooter is going to be tighter than the
bond with you he knows him he trust him
they’ve been through War together so
when he has to relate something to the
team you’re the point guard he’s the
shooting guard but we speak the same
language so yes when he wants to get
something to the team he’s going to go
to the guy he knows is going to relay
that message the way he perceives it and
the way he’s trying to deliver it that’s
just that’s just natural but as a point
guard and as a player on a team you
still have to try to find your own way
to talk to the coach right right this is
this is no different than the
relationship right if you don’t know
what’s going on in the relationship and
you don’t want to speak obviously [ __ ]
can’t get done I think the biggest thing
is G you know what I tell people all the
time A lot of times I say you know
what’s the biggest cause the biggest
reason relationships in and people like
to say infidelity people like to say uh
finances it’s uncommunicated
expectations see Darin ham had an
expectation what heed DLo to do or DLo
had expectations what he thought but
nobody communicated those expectations
you see if I’m in a relationship man I
thought oh she want me to take she’s
thinking oh Shannon gonna do this for my
birthday you know blah blah blah he got
this hotel rented out we gonna go get a
dinner it’s gonna be nice candle lit
they’re gonna be playing some nice music
then we gonna go to the hotel he got she
got he got rose pedals and he got I got
a Birkin bag I got blah blah blah
but see those are your expectations but
they were
uncommunicated after a while too many
too many uncommunicated expectations so
now it keeps building I you keep having
expectations but you keep not
communicating those with me sooner or
later no matter how much you put it
doesn’t matter how much something weigh
if you put enough of that something on
there it’s going to
break my grandfather used to say boy he
used to give give me my brother a task
or something and I would say papa that’s
that’s too heavy he said booy you can
carry anything if you cut it up in
enough pieces see I was looking at it
from one standpoint a six-year-old
trying to carry a 25 pound bag of feed
or a 50 pound bag of feed he said no he
say put it in put it in the in the in
the foot tub and you might have to make
x amount of trips but you can get it
done so because they never can whatever
the case may have been neither person
darving ham or DLo communicated but both
had
expectations so it was those
uncommunicated expectations that caused
the relationship to break down but let
me ask you this Gil with that being said
how rare is it for a player to say that
while he’s still playing for said
coach now that’s
different hey that’s different right um
but it’s easier for him to sit now
because he don’t have no no guy to go to
right and I don’t really I didn’t I
didn’t really understand where D was
coming from because for the most part it
was just the last four games it was
against well he didn’t really play well
against the Griz
either but he didn’t play well but he
did like the last four games or the last
three games is the only time DLo didn’t
take double digit shots other three
series the other two Ser DLo was in
double digits and shooting just got a
little uncomfortable those last three so
we don’t know if it was how you started
a game and he just subbed you like it
it’s that’s something that they had to
have that conversation about but I’m
looking at just one series and say man
you didn’t show up you say well coach
wasn’t you know messing with me then
that that can be that’s all hear say at
this point but the fact that you you’re
voicing it now like haha he’s gone so
you got to with me unless you know at
the end of the season Darin ham is gone
so you don’t really care and plus I’m
playing well what you going to say now
remember I dropped 44 when you didn’t
have Braun if you look at the games that
Brun didn’t play I’ve been playing well
and I’ve been playing well as of as of
late so and like I said look I’m not
expecting DLo to drop 44 or 30 but he
has played extremely well the last 20
ball games let’s give him credit for
that facts and so uh like his big shots
this is the like this is the this is the
dowlo that I remember when he was first
in La when he his first Ure here he was
playing well then he went to uh Jersey
was an Star right so you know even when
he was in Minnesota he played well so
that’s the Dow that we we we got back
and we’re seeing glimpses of it so we
know now he can
sustain that type of play he just has to
figure out how to do that while Braun’s
on the court also all that every you
know what Gil everything that DLo said
might be true but this is what we know
he averaged six points three and a half
assists and two rebounds a game and no
matter what the reasons are people are
not gonna hear what he has to say they
like bro we saw those bricks that you
were shooting we saw you average six we
saw you average three and a half and we
saw you average two we don’t want to
hear why you did that because that’s
unimportant no facts Lakers the the
Laker fan base they’re about
results I I understand you got heartburn
but can you deliver me a healthy baby
that’s all I need I don’t want hear
about your back hurt your feet swollen
just the so the Laker fans will say hey
just produce just give us G just give us
good to great games and we can live with
every whatever whatever else
happens but what we will not allow is
for you to play bad and then seemingly
give us excuses because everything that
he said it might be
true but it does not
matter no it doesn’t no one cares no one
cares if you’re injured right no you
know it’s like when Dwight Howard’s here
nobody cared that you would do back
surgery and you fall back nope no we
don’t care we don’t care if you look
like you limping you can’t been down as
as long as you’re out there we’re
judging you as what we’re accustomed to
seeing because I saw 12 with Howard on
the back Ain ain’t got nothing do Dr ELR
went in your back and did surgery
infused a disc or took something out or
put something in we don’t care and
that’s what I tell guys look if you
expecting the fans to
empathize that you’re out there and
you’re Lim they don’t care because all
they do is that they saw eight they see
84 and they see sharp on the back they
don’t care that I didn’t practice all
week and I had 40 CC’s draw off one knee
and 30 draw off the other and I had to
get painkilling inje in both ankles they
don’t give a damn they like all I know
is that I want to see you go catch
touchdowns catch passes get open and
help the Broncos win this game that’s
all I care about same thing with the
Ravens they didn’t care about that and I
understood so when I went out there on
the field even though I took those
painkilling injections every single week
even though I was having flu had drawn
off my knes I knew there was a level of
expectation that the fans had I also
knew there was a level of expectation my
teammates
had my team was today hey bro and they
looking at that long ass needle going in
my knee they see the fluid being drawn
off I mean in my uh not my knee in my
ankle they saw that big ass needle and
they asking me sharp man I don’t know
how you do it but bro hey we need you
today well damn you asking me you don’t
know how I do it but the same breath you
telling me you need me but that’s the
level of expectations that when you play
of being a player that they’re counting
on and I looked at myself as a a a very
good to great player I put those
expectations on
myself no and that’s and that’s that’s
the thing that’s going on with BR
himself we done seen you at a level we
we can’t there’s no way if if we’re
talking about how he’s playing now
there’s no way LeBron can average 17 or
12 in this league no no no cuz our T the
tickets we pay in the tickets we pay
don’t come with no discount nah n i
don’t say well if ad got under eight and
he’s limping he don’t play we give you
money back no I’m paying full price yeah
regardless and I want if I’m gonna pay
full price I need to see full price
results but and for LeBron for the
LeBron numbers and them to win tonight
with 18 and and the way he shot ad
needed to probably have like 35 ad need
to have a game close to what he had the
other night a 2725 game he need to
probably have
37 and and Ru and Ry and Austin do what
they did but you can’t have you can’t
get you know 20 what was that 24 points
between LeBron between LeBron and DLo
and they shot eight of 20 they shot
eight of 27 from the floor three of 12
from
the like especially since you don’t got
nobody coming off the bench that’s gonna
give you 12 or 15 consistently no Prince
gave you seven we’ll be happy if get 15
between all of them you got hold on man
you got 11 you got 13 points from your
bench that won’t cut it that won’t cut
it they got 14 20 24 they got 26 you got
13 so they outscored you they outscored
your bench by 13 and then your the
starters beat you up also pretty good so
the all their starters were in double
figures
but Lakers got to figure this thing the
Lakers got to figure this out the males
beat the Warriors 109 um 999 Luca didn’t
get his a straight triple double but
they got the win you let me see hold on
go
back you know I got this little new
Gadget in here G I’ve been I’ve been
learning how to work it I feel like I I
feel like I’m Tom Cruz at minority The
Minority Report you see my background
you see my background I had to switch it
up because everything got destroyed
everything is destroyed here so
hopefully
byday what happened huh some new stuff
coming in okay you you you you you
getting rid of some stuff redecorating
yeah I had I had to move luckily I got a
moving
desk Luca scores 21 he only scored 21
let’s see what
L yeah he had a decent game
today 99 109 that was just yeah that was
one of them old yeah that was one of
them old 2001 well now you see that what
was that game was that Philly and uh the
niick somebody had 79 to 73 all kind of
bull Detroit how was that Detroit game
yeah uh yeah Kyrie was eight of 16 one
of five six six from the free throw line
he had 23 Luca had 21 wow it really
really a quiet night for Luca 21 and N
219 and
three oh the Warriors Warriors must be
some SL some SLO tonight cause
nobody really really went
crazy well I mean well I mean you gotta
take uh no Steph CP there no Steph no ST
Steph is not there and cp’s there so
with CP being there he’s gonna he’s
gonna mil the clock it’s going to be one
of those grinded out type of offenses so
you know it wasn’t going to get it
wasn’t going to be one of those 130 135
type of games and I don’t know if they
can get that without Stephen in the
lineup uminga played played well he was
what eight or 17 two or two from the
three-point line he had
27 um it looks like Draymond didn’t play
either Kay struggle he was three or 13
two or seven from the three he had eight
points it’s just it’s just you know for
every for every game that Klay gives you
a glimpse of what he was he have five
six seven games that you’re like damn
clay
we can sit here and ask what’s the
problem but we know it’s more mental
Than Physical this is ment this is
mental then he’s he got the same shots
doing the same thing same plays right
it’s not like he’s one of those guys
that really need space for his shot this
is a mental battle that he’s having
right is from you know his contract not
getting that extension we don’t know
what’s going on that money he should
have took that
money but that might it might be it
might be bored of that too though true
but Gil you gota you know a lot of times
people make
mistake is that well he over there and
that’s what he got but you’re not over
there they might not view your
organization might not view you like his
organization view him so you looking at
someone else and say well this is that
you can’t measure your work worth by
some what someone else what someone else
got and far too many times that’s what
happens you look over there you like
well I’m but bro you can’t measure your
worth by someone
else’s and I think that’s what he’s
doing he looking at guys like man I’m
better than x man he got 150 and y’all
only offer me 24 a year for two
years you know what the real problem
was he’s measuring himself up to people
that there not even the same category
right and what I mean by the category is
what option is
Clay yeah third second
option stop looking at number one
options bro thank you your third opt
your career’s been third option you’ve
never been the number one option so when
they’re paying got no matter what your
numbers are and who you are and your
four rings you’re a third
option team and a very good one right
yeah yes don’t compare yourself to
someone that’s a first option or a
second option those I don’t care what
your numbers are your responsibility is
different you have
none you have you’ve done played
horrible this whole year and Golden
State still feels they can go deep in
the playoffs because they’re not on your
back they’re on step Steph’s back so you
might average 20 this guy average 20 but
his responsibility is way different than
yours so when you’re looking at him his
contract and you’re looking at we got
the same numbers yes but you don’t have
the same responsibilities you have none
he has
more you know so that’s that becomes a
hold on Mr Beast is in our chat hey hey

North Carolina so it’s an unbelievable
honor to have you in our chat so we
greatly appreciate you stopping by
hanging out for a few minutes uh he’s
been at this thing a long time I think
he’s had a he’s been at it since he was
about 15 14 or 15 years of age Gil and
now he’s uh he’s 26
so no yeah no I I used to I watched uh I
watched a lot of his videos even from
the beginning on how he first started
you know uh he was saying something with
how he was trying to find the algorithm
of you uh of YouTube where all his four
friends or his three friends the four of
them will take on assignments right want
to take on thumbnails want to take on
videos and they’re trying to figure out
what catches and then they’ll come back
to each other and give each other to
update so they put it in all one video
right so instead of taking four years to
learn some information it took them one
year to learn all the information I’m
just like man that’s this is what I do
know um about him and about people that
work for him just by Bas it on like
greatness and being around great players
and seeing great players and and when
you hear them talk they’re
obsessed yep and everybody that’s in
their sucker is obsessed so when people
say oh you could have this no you
can’t no you can’t you can’t no you
cannot anybody that’s and I’m not just
talking about I’m not talking about the
wealthy you look at the Jordans you look
at the great I’m talking about the great
now if you just want to be average and
you want to say well you know hey I’m
cool with my 9 to-5 I’m cool doing what
I do come home I’m able to go to all the
kids are all the kidss events and all
that stuff like that that’s fine I’m not
here to knock you for that I’m saying if
you want to be the
0.00000000
.1 there’s no other way there is no
balance to
gra there’s no balance go listen y’all
love Jordan y’all love Kobe until they
until they start talking about what it
took to be great and then when they tell
tell you what I’m actually saying well I
you you don’t want to you so sometimes
it’s the messenger it’s not the message
because here’s the thing what I’ve
noticed and I’m a lot older than you are
Gil if we like the messenger we’re more
likely to receive the
message if we don’t like the message he
can tell us you got the winning lottery
ticket is being sold down the street
you’re like man I later for you
bro but if you don’t like the messenger
you won’t like the message
no it ain’t even about the it can be
about the message or the
messenger if you don’t have the
willpower it don’t matter who gives you
the message right we have all the
information in to our our disposal we we
know everyone that’s watching knows how
to be
successful they know how because it’s
there’s so much information there’s so
many successful people
here showing us with examples telling us
with
words right January 1 comes every year
the first 30 days what everybody we
gotta get in shape we gotta I’m gonna do
this February 1
99.9% of everybody went back to December
last
year that’s just a that’s just a fact
like I tell my kids listen I don’t give
a if there’s 1,400 shots that you need
to take a
week 200 shots every day one to come
into I took
1,400 how many days did you shoot I did
it in one
day you suck it ain’t about the 1400s
it’s about seven
days because that means three of those
days you didn’t want to do it and you
still did it that is the greatness the
14400 ain’t the greatness the everyday
grind of it the days you don’t want to
do the days you want to do it you don’t
gain nothing them three days you don’t
want to do it is where the Gams come
from that’s why my number one of my
number one quotes my grandfather said he
said boy never
mistake haveit for hard
work see what the thing is girl a lot of
times people do something over and over
and they feel they’re working hard and
the analogy you use is the gym how many
times like hey man I went to the gym
today I’ve been going to gym the last
three years the last three months and
your body look exactly the
same because that you go into the gym
out of habit you’re not working hard man
I don’t know what it is but what I work
out I just you ain’t eating them 45
pound
plates man my clothes man the dry shrunk
my clothes no the refrigerator shrunk
your clothes that’s what shrunk your
damn clothes so I don’t know who you
trying the food see when people start
trying to look I don’t know and I I tell
people this I don’t know everything I
know a little bit about everything but
what I know a lot what I know I know a
lot about I know about the human body
and I know about uh eating correctly I
know about a healthy lifestyle so you
can’t P all that other stuff you do all
that talking you can talk your ass off
get your lips off my ears as a matter of
fact because you’re talking me to
death so all that other stuff that y’all
be talking no this this is this is what
I do and this is why I don’t have time
to talk about people Gil I’m taping
seven to 10 shows a week
I’m trying to come up with content Ash
and I she calling me she she up she’s
asessed as I
am
yeah CJ is obsessed as I am that’s the
only way you can be great because look
what y’all want to do what how do we
want to be good because this ain’t good
enough this isn’t good
enough and okay TJ okay so that’s
mindset that we have I need people that
are obsessed if you want to take
vacation every three months working for
sha media ain’t for you and that’s
okay for you that’s okay I’m not gonna
knock you because oh man he drive or he
work yes all time of the night
especially because we got to we got to
stay on top of this that’s the only way
Gil that is the only way we’re Our Own
Boss you have great hours
but you got to be obsessed I was
obsessed with football and that’s why
I’m terrible at relationships because I
do not I do not
multitask I’m a I’m a singular focused
guy yes that’s why people say what he
ain’t never been married no because
relationship that has never been the
most important thing to
me some people that is okay okay that’s
you but for
me and and and that’s and people don’t
understand that’s a
sacrifice and some of those sacrifices
came when we were
little and that’s why it’s hard for us
when we’re done yes we sacrificed
everything to get to where we were now
when you take that away from us there’s
nothing we don’t nothing we don’t know
nothing
so now we got to sit here and mentally
try to find something that is going to
fulfill everything that fulfilled it
when was in sports but it has to be able
to fill it all and I’m sorry there’s no
relationship that’s going to fill the
void of being an
athlete not a healthy one not a not a
healthy not a healthy one because
everything that came with being an
athlete a relation healthy relationship
can’t do
it and and and people don’t really
understand it that’s why you got golfing
that’s why some of them can golf all day
fish all day right to you it seems
boring to
them hours competitiveness like it just
it it checks so many box that’s why
that’s why most athletes even no matter
what they do they’re competitive you’ve
been comp for so long how do I turn it
off yep you
know in the relationship see and that’s
that’s and that that’s where we we we
can’t be compet the competitive part of
us can’t be competitive in the
relationship no and and I I but see G
for me I always understood I always
understood I never I never lost sight
of they applauded what I did not who I
was and see football what I did that’s
not who I am so I never lost sight of
that so once you understand your place
you’ll be
fine because eventually the Applause and
the agulation is g to
stop you walk on another job people like
hey 880,000 ain’t about to cheer ain’t
about to cheer shanon sha walking down
the
street and you’re never gonna get that
high that you got to ran running out in
that Stadium when you run out to the
arena or they call and and at guard a
6’4
200 pound from Arizona Gilbert or
nothing feels
that nope but I get the same
high I get the same high when I do a
great conversation E I don’t even look
at hey I don’t care I leave I say CJ I
put everything I had in that
one yep everybody I know everybody ain’t
gonna like everybody that I interview
but you best believe I gave it
everything I had I left no stone
unturned as far as with Ste CJ and I
from researching and trying to get to
and to try to get the person to open
up just like I did in football I studied
my ass off I watched tape over and over
again because I wanted to be the best I
didn’t get into this thing just to get a
check I yeah I know I can just do this
and no no I want to be the best I want I
want people to come man I can’t the
night come man I can’t wait to see a who
Club sh sh interviewing this week man I
can’t wait that’s what I want just like
when those 8,000 fans in Denver they
wanted to see me in that lineup and they
wanted to hear my name called and to run
out that tunnel that’s what that’s what
drives me is to be the best in this
space not but hey I don’t compare myself
with well he does that that ain’t got
nothing to do with
me I compare my myself to what I believe
I can get
to that’s the only thing I can compare
myself to I can’t compare myself because
I don’t know what they’re
doing I can just only imagine that’s
what that’s why that’s why they worry
about nobody was taking my job because I
know when nobody was doing what I was
doing no no no no no no way no way no
way ask any of my teammates in Baltimore
ask any of my teammates in in in
Denver did anybody train and was the
first thing they gonna say I ain’t never
me anybody as disciplin to Shar the
shark I ain’t
never I’m the same way right
now I go to bed thinking about hey I
call Ash okay how do we get better how
do we get better how do we beat last
last
episode CJ how do we be how do how do
how do I do what okay what did what
questions could I I’ve asked that I
didn’t I’m not talking about the views
the views speak for themselves some
people might like it they tell their
friends some people might not but how do
I get better and if I can get all
because all I’m doing is comparing
myself to last week that’s the only
thing I can compare myself
to but that’s what I need people to
understand if you people talk about they
want to be no you don’t y’all just
talking cuz y’all think somebody just
ghe like just all of a sudden you just
going to roll out of bed and be great it
doesn’t work like that that is a
lifetime some people are boring great
some people have greatness thrust upon
them it only matters what you do with
the greatness that you have nothing else
matter how many times you how many times
you know somebody you went to school you
grew up with had more Talent than Gil I
know a lot of guys had more Talent than
Shannon what is that what does that say
man hey I used to go back home all the
time G hey sh tell them couldn’t I run
you sh wasn’t I stronger than you sh hey
sh tell him okay what you want okay yes
yes yes yes yes Shannon is a first time
a first team All Pro for the third
straight year Shannon just had his third
straight season of a thousand yards yes
yes at that point in time yes he but
what does that even
mean you should be embarrassed to say
that you were better than I was at one
point in time I’m there and you’re here
so you think you think they looking at
him like bro do you realize what you
just
said but that’s why big him that’s why
people like that I big him up oh yeah he
was way better than me oh my God he
should have been there get right back in
my M back and get the [ __ ] on out of
there
yeah this could have been him that’s
exactly right we all we all have those
stories Daniel Gafford is now 33 of his
last 33 over the last five games he’s
only three field field goal three uh uh
straight field goals away from Wilt
Chamberlain’s consecutive field goals
made Wilt made 35 straight Daniel Gaff
wait who Daniel
gaffard he I uh I think last year he’s
with the Wizards he’s with the Wizards
and now he’s on the uh he’s on the uh uh
the
Mavericks I thought you were talking
football hell
no Daniel
gav hey Daniel gav is now 33 of 33 his
last five games he’s three field goals
away made field goals away consecutively
from passing will Chamberlin’s record
Will Chamberlain went had made 35
consecutive he’s three away from making
30 hey I get to people say man he ain’t
doing nothing but dunking I don’t give a
damn you go out I tell you what you go
out there I bet I could just put you up
under of the basket you probably
couldn’t make 30 I’m talking to the
average person and you probably couldn’t
make 35 in a row
listen
listen get it right this this might be
the biggest thing he ever did right I’m
G just be honest with you because
obviously he’s gonna take shots that he
know he can make at this point in time
right so he might get it because he just
needs three field goals and if they not
wide wide open I doing number dunks If I
Ain’t Got No dunks
I’m yeah no no it’s gonna be one of
those where if he ain’t getting a real
real good look at it yes he probably
average what three two points a game d
you got for the average Ash probably go
because that’s the thing I mean think
about it Gil I’m about to break a record
I’ll be able to tell my grandkids I
broke a record real
Chamberlain Will Chamberlain what record
you broke a
will oh he ain’t bad 11 and eight he
averaging 11 and
eight
oh okay
all right okay I I I mean obviously I’m
G have to report on it any goddamn way
so I’ll do my research
did yeah uh check this out
Gil Steve cerr believes the Warriors can
make a deep play out run I really feel
strongly that our team is primed if we
can really uh stay healthy down the
stretch get steep back I feel like we
can make a really good
run man he needs to be drug tested if
they doing drug testing on coaches they
need to do that right now ASAP listen
they are the Champs when they get into
the playoff they are deadly but they
have to understand one thing they have
two star player or they have a second
option and a third option that’s just
not playing very well this year Well
kaminga is the second option now Kingo
is taking that roll over okay so yeah
Kingo you you still got Wiggins who’s
not playing very well so if he thinks
they’re just going to turn it on in the
playoffs just for the whole 16 games
something’s wrong with him I’m sorry I
don’t it’s just not it’s just not one of
those things that’s going to happen
right um that you guys and
playing I mean if Klay played 15 games
great this year I’ll be
surprised um I don’t know the last time
anybody’s talked about Wiggins having a
great game um so that you’re going to
need these two players in the playoffs
and if you’re counting for them to be
great for 16 games to win a championship
or to even go deep ah something’s wrong
with you yeah I mean I Hey listen for
the Warrior fans great speech reality
sorry I don’t I don’t see it either Gil
I haven’t seen any
indication of I mean has has clay played
15 great games this
year obviously kaminga kaminga is their
second best
player yeah yeah no he’s took he’s took
he’s took the bull by the horns on this
second best player athletic ranging guy
uh get shots getting better obviously he
can finish at The Rim has explosive a
leaping ability shooting the three ball
better
springy okay I’m count on him and Steph
but I’m doubling Steph I’m gonna get
ball out of Steph
hands yeah that’s it’s easier than done
it’s easier than
done I wouldn’t the reason I would would
is you don’t want you don’t want to
double him and you’re coming off clay
and Wiggins and then they start getting
confidence I want them to just I’m gonna
play let Steph get his 30 40 knowing
that the other two players is just gonna
be dead they’re gonna be dead fish over
there just trying to double Steph Steph
still gets his 25 and now Klay got some
life I’m not giving you no life I’m I’m
Gonna Let You you gonna have to beat me
oneon-one
hey
uh
no because let’s see Clay is 3 of 13
Andrew Willam was five of 12 they ain’t
got no
life they ain’t got no life Gil it’s
time for our next segment it’s called
newscap and we’re gonna be sticking with
the Warriors take a listen to the
[Music]
[Applause]
sound we’re gonna be sticking with the
Warriors Isaiah Thomas was on the
Draymond Green podcast and this is what
he had to say that Kevin Durant did for
the Warriors Legacy let’s take a listen
to
it let me make a bold statement here yes
sir and I hope this don’t upset you
before Kevin Durant arrived in Goen
State y all were on the verge
of and being and being remembered as the
team that went 73 and n and lost to the
Cleveland Cavalier team in the finals
You Up 3 to one and probably one of the
the biggest collapse in NBA finals
history Kevin Durant comes that summer
and really saves y’all basketball Legacy
you win two championships after that the
Golden State Warriors Dynasty that
you’re going to go into the Hall of Fame
on and everything else it is cemented
because if Durant don’t come that summer
and you guys are remembered as the 73
and9 Team all of your
legacies are
different he a
lie but the part that he left out it
also saved KD’s
Legacy if he don’t got no championships
we’re not looking at him the same Gil
because we hold on G we got to speak to
what we know we can’t speak to what we
don’t because I can’t say man if
if Gil was 69 and had healthy need for
15 man Gil be going to the hall he might
have him a couple of we got to deal with
what we
know and what we know
is Draymond said it they wouldn’t have
won they wouldn’t have beat Cavs they
would never beat the
Cav if if KD didn’t come right that came
out of Draymond Green’s mouth we didn’t
need Draymond to tell us that we knew
that you get chased down 31 G you ain’t
beating that team
again now now this is the problem here
to
me one player
Legacy was sacrific for three other
players
Legacy see Kevin Durant going there yeah
it gave him two championships two finals
MVPs but no one respected him in the
media World while that same move
cemented through three players in the
Hall of Fame one as probably the best
point guard that ever played that’s
going to get a statue y right top
75 his
sacrifice gave them
that right and that is that is the the
the the the reality of it because
without those two championships we we
don’t know what happens to Golden State
because they was laughing yeah for sure
they were being that summer and when
Katie went there that stopped all laughs
nobody even
remembered what just happened nobody
even start talk nobody talked about the
Cavs as the defendant
Champs right soon as Katie said I’m
going there the championship was go to
the states and all they to go all they
had to do was deliver but the problem
was his legacy was tainted forever
because of it and and and Steph curries
elevated
plays elevated and that that’s the only
problem I have is like damn you you
sacrifice one to build up
three but he did it he felt that’s what
he needed to do um but the media can’t
be mad at these players because y’all
put so much they put so much emphasis on
rings so guys feel like okay I’ll get me
a ring KD say okay I’ll go gra grab me a
ring or two and then what y’all going to
say y’all might not like the manner in
which I got them
but I got him y’all can’t say I’m not a
champion y so I don’t begrudge a player
because this is what you force those
guys to do because you don’t evaluate
the player on what you see you like well
if he don’t win a bro do you understand
that it takes a team to win titles see
but I think what fans get mad about and
the and they don’t get mad if if teams
put them together look at those Lakers
team the Lakers had Kareem in in
Magic and got the number one p worthy
the year that M the year that magic got
drafted that same year Karem won the MVP
so you tell me you think that’s so
what’s the likelihood of the team that
wins the MVP the team that wins the
championship the player that they draft
somebody from that is gonna turn out to
be
magic won the finals MVP you’re never
gonna see that again you’re never going
to see a rookie win the finals MVP G I
hope you enjoyed it I’m old enough to
remember when it happened but had Kareem
not missed that game people don’t
realize how good Kareem was in that
series Kareem was averaging 33 13 go
look it up yep Kareem was averaging 33
and
13 imic get it it’s still arguing like
how did imic get this when Kareem was
being so dominant averaging five blocks
that that for that series the only the
only team that can can actually do some
damage like that is OKC since they have
two damn near Lottery first round picks
they can somehow sneak and get two good
players with the team they have but he’s
not going
MVP but that what I’m saying is that
don’t even exist anymore of what going
on back then in the 80s because if you
look at look at those Celtics team they
had bird top 75 Parish top 75 Mel top 75
all of them together okay okay they had
tiny archar on one of those championship
teams top 75 they had Dennis Johnson on
that team who was a Finals MVP and a
defensive player of the year on that
team they had bill they had Bill Walton
even though he wasn’t the same he was a
finals MVP and a league MVP and Sixth
Man of the Year okay we gonna go to the
Lakers the Lakers had kareim I don’t
need to say anything they had magic I
don’t need to say anything they had Bob
madoo they had Jamal Wills so let they
had James Worthy so let’s not pretend
they’ have always been super teams the
only difference is team the the general
managers they put those teams together
so I don’t care if it’s a super team as
long as my home if if KD don’t go join
Golden State or Lebron doesn’t go join
Miami or this one or that one it can be
a super team but I just don’t want the
players meddling because they’ve always
been super teams go look at those teams
that Philadelphia 76ers you don’t think
Moses Malone and Dr
J and then got Charles bar yes they had
Bobby
Jones but even Boston even when you’re
talking about Bill Russell back then
they people don’t realize Bill Russell’s
rookie
year he didn’t went rookie year tomon
did yeah and was the allstar on the
team like so how good was the teams back
then like these guy that that’s why I
said like it’s it’s it’s been super
teams it’s always going to be super
teams but when the player says all right
because no one does this no one no
one pushes this this this narrative on
the owners no one goes back and say hey
man this owner sucks no this owner is
not they they did it with um Donald
Sterling when they wanted to get rid of
him
but before that they’re not like hey
he’s he’s never he’s never resigning any
players he just drafting them letting
them go drafting them letting them go
and all other ones were like I like his
model that’s money so when players are
sitting these these teams and like well
he’s just got pointless stats he ain’t
winning over there and you’re like well
he’s not paying anybody you this man is
not paying anybody so let me leave oh
you can’t you ain’t a winner that was
The Ultimate Super the Celtics in the
60s was the ultimate super team they had
10 Hall of Famers they had 12 players on
the roster John hav came off the bench
how you g a guy come off the
bench Dave cowens MVP you had Sam Jones
Casey Jones Koozie uh uh Tom hson Don
Nelson hhhh Bill Russell
hav what damn bill short how many
players you
want yeah CU they didn’t have free
agency they didn’t have free agency then
either you just trade yes so when so
what happened is if I don’t like you
I’mma trade in my I’mma trade my asset
to to to to to the team that you don’t
like and you’re beefing with people they
did that back then look I’mma trade you
my players because I don’t want to pay
him and then you go on and keep whooping
his ass I mean when they had when the
Lakers had they had they had uh will
they had jar West they had elen Bailey
they had Gail good I mean Rich look at
all the top 25 go look at the top 75 and
see how many Celtics and Lakers God no
when you go to when you go back to the
top when you do top 50 right the top
all 50 30 39 to 40 of them came from Big
City teams yes when we top 10 players of
all time the only person that comes from
a small City that broke through is
Duncan everybody else is a Laker or
Celtic
yep Laker Celtic and you can throw in
Philly yeah but other than that it’s a
big city that’s that’s what they go off
of this wasn’t all it Isaiah Thomas the
big isaah told Dre Isaiah still wants an
apology from Michael Jordan I don’t
believe it’s coming for being called an
[ __ ] in the 2020 doc series The Last
Dance he explained to Dre why his
relationship with Jordan isn’t Sal
salvageable let’s take a listen to what
Isaiah had to say where’s your
relationship at today and and is that
salvageable dude no not salvageable this
dude got on National
Television International television and
called me an [ __ ] somebody who’s been
really good to him and until he
apologizes on International
television we ain’t no conversation you
can’t you can’t apologize and have a
private dinner when you embarrass me
publicly if you didn’t mean
it say it publicly now if you meant it
let it
stand I’m good with
that Isa you know you’re my
dog you don’t get that
apology see here’s the
thing see Gil this this is the great
part about being as old as I
am Isaiah them didn’t do this go back
and look what happened when Isaiah when
the Detroit Pistons beat the Boston
Celtics see how many uh bird Mel of them
see what they did when Isaiah and them
beat him they walked out the court it
ain’t nobody say a damn
word no not what go back and look it up
Chad you see what happened Isaiah also
said he said what normally would happen
when the team would win the the finals
the Eastern Conference Western
Conference Finals they would all come
into the locker room after hey
congratulations blah blah blah blah blah
I don’t know if that’s the
case but that’s what Zeke said used to
happen I just know I just know when they
beat them in what was that
88 is went to the finals three three
straight years 89 well they Lo they they
Lo they lost no no no they won okay they
won 89 in
90 M they lost at 88 but I didn’t cuz I
think because I think the Lakers beat
them twice in the fin did Lakers beat n
they yeah no they didn’t they beat
Philly
twice they beat Boston once and they
beat they beat Boston twice no yeah they
beat they beat Boston
85 and
87 beat the Pistons is 88
yeah um that was the go back and look it
up go back and look it up so I don’t
know what the protocol was I just know
what I saw so so Isaiah Isaiah them
didn’t start when you lose or just walk
off the court and don’t congratulate the
winning team Isaiah and them didn’t
start
that no this wasn’t this was never about
team [ __ ] to be honest this was about
personal personal relationships
right this was a personal thing whenever
a team got beat football basketball you
rarely see the losing team clapping
hands with the win because the winners
are celebrating the winners running
around jumping only
friends are touching the other friend
like if I’m if I won or I lost and my
boy just won a championship our
friendship is a reason I’m going to go
say what’s up like congratulations dog
that was the problem with them two
Jordan’s friendship to Isaiah when
Isaiah won was a
handshake when Isaiah
lost Jordan as a friend to Isaiah was
like I want the same respect in the fact
that Isaiah walked off Jordan took it
personal it didn’t have nothing to do
with oh we shook y’all hands y’all shook
Y no no no I shook your
hand you supposed to shake mine I don’t
care he didn’t care about the rest of
the
team it was it was the guy that he felt
was a friend of his this goes and that
that was the
issue this goes back to the allstar game
when Jordan believed that Isaiah had
something to do with them freezing him
out and then all this we know they can
deny it till the cows come home Isaiah
should have been on that Dream Team all
this notion well he didn’t blend and he
didn’t fit you say Isaiah was the second
best point guard behind behind Magic
Johnson he was better than John stock I
don’t care what y’all
say and they know it and they and and
for all these players now to get up
their years and later nobody it’s not
about being
like nobody liked Isaiah y’all say y’all
took the best
players y’all make it seem like all so
so so now all this stuff about y’all
y’all fighting to the nail so all y’all
buddy buddy huh cuz that’s not what
you’re saying that’s not what you get on
TV and say now but now all of a sudden
your buddy
buddy Isaiah should have been on that
team Isaiah should have been Isaiah
should have been on that team and I
don’t care what any of the the 11 to 12
guys that made the team Isaiah should
have been on that team so they robbed
him in 80 because the Olympics was
boycotted because the Soviets invaded
Afghanistan and Carter didn’t send the
Olympic team so by that time Isaiah was
in 81 Isaiah got drafted and then he
couldn’t play he couldn’t play in the
Olympics until they started taking pros
and the only reason they started taking
Pros because in 88 the Brazilian team
led by Oscar schmidth kicked the living
daylight out of out of out of the uhuh
the Americans go back and look it up I
think he dropped 48 on
them I mean everything is personal when
it comes to certain things like that it
is personal it’s not like it’s not a
team that the the the um the the the USA
games we’ve been going through this
whole time it’s per it’s relationships
has nothing to do with your talent like
look at the lineups we have a the most
talented players in the league some of
them the last the last people team four
players didn’t even start on their NBA
team but was repping the USA game like
ah come on man this is all this all
relationship so hey Isaiah hey we we
understand we get it but I can tell you
this he Ain get that apology I don’t
know what you watching I don’t know if
you watched the last dance I don’t know
you been watching relationships right
good
luck he ain’t talked toley in tear no
coming
back pipping gone that that [ __ ] I don’t
even know if he talked to a bull besides
Oakley that’s
it that’s it that’s
it that’s it so see I hope I hope Isaiah
like I said I know zek and I but Isaiah
don’t don’t don’t don’t you wait for
that
apology he do he Jordan standing on
business Jordan standing on business he
ain’t messing with none of y’all no he
he he absolutely
not uh Devin Booker explains the death
of the NBA rivalry book went on JJ
reck’s podcast and had this to say about
it let’s take a listen to the
sound um
I say there’s no real rivalries
because you I say Grassroots basketball
like a lot of these guys we’ve we’ve
known for a really long time
and um I think people just realize that
you know it’s it’s not that deep after
time I’ve been saying that there was no
aou I mean these guys play they on the
same aaou team or they’ve been seeing
each other here since they were 13 a lot
of them say where you going to school at
man you going to Kentucky me too you
going to D yeah me too you going to you
going to Kansas me too so there is no
bitterness because now I grew up playing
against you bro I been know you since
you were
12 how do I build up a resentment
against somebody that I’ve known since I
was
12 played against them play with them
train with them right now now you gotta
remember like like people like uh Grover
back in the
day there’s 20 NBA players in that
facility working out right playing
pickup games with each other same thing
um uh uh in Vegas same thing here these
guys are training with each other so if
there is beef they might have the same
trainer and that trainer is g to you
know hey we gonna work out together and
you put them all there together so this
this this beef that everyone is taking
from way back in the to day that don’t
exist no punches don’t cost $25 no
more right it don’t he it cost 500 it
cost 250,000 That Elbow LeBron gave
Young fella that little elbow boom he
missed one game 390,000 that elbow cost
him not a punch not a fight just it
looked like you almost hit him on
purpose 390,000 man listen I don’t hate
nobody for that price n hell no for
$25 I can I can I can sock somebody
for25 swing on somebody for $25 think
about it if you if You Yank somebody out
the a like Mel yank ramb out how how how
many the gam you think they gonna miss
Gil yeah
now you Yan oh they gonna give you three
to five for your first time offense and
that depending on who you are that can
be a million and a half two that’s you
miss right let it be a star player You
Yank out there you might get five team
games
listen
Stewart him Chason
LeBron that cost him
30,000 you can see why his ass acting
them
up he he only lose about $30,000
a he don’t care about that little money
that’s see that’s little money but when
it cost you 390,000 million
million listen I don’t got hey brother I
don’t got that type of energy yeah but
we can hey hold me
back we good we good but I I’ve been
saying this I say it’s different now I
say you know it ain’t just seeing a guy
at the McDonald’s All-American Game or
you see the guy show up at one allstar
game these guys literally grow grew up
playing against each other for for seven
years from the time they was like 10 or
11 and then they play one year of
college ball against each other and then
they come to the
NBA and now you want me to dislike this
guy that I done sat down his mom know my
mom my mom know his mom my dad know his
dad we done ate at the same we done ate
in the same cafeteria and so now you
want me to because he played for the
Celtics and I play for the Lakers you
want me to dislike him
yeah those the the Rivalry days is over
unless it’s something that personally
happened off the court that nobody knows
about other than that um you’ll have
like like somebody like Patrick Beverly
right he’s a rarity which means this he
loves the game so much that his respect
level is I’m going to push you for your
greatness and I want you to push my
defense to his greatness right I’m going
challenge you every every step of the
way and when it’s over with you gave me
40 let’s shake hands I’m going to watch
film I’m going to see your next
game right those those are the guys we
have
now the the the old raah punch you and
clothesline you for no reason the NBA
them fines them fines cost too much now
for that even if I don’t like
you I’m not going to express that on the
basketball court it cost too much and
you remember
you remember when uh Kent Benson punched
Kareem and then Kareem turned around and
soed him and broke his hand he missed
the first 20 games can you can you
imagine somebody just actually doing
that just punching just turn around and
punching somebody in the
face
listen one that’s gonna be 50 something

right there them checks well see it’s
it’s a little different football Gil cuz
we don’t really have you know ain’t a
whole lot of traveling football teams so
like the Raiders the uh the the Ravens
and the
Steelers yeah you trying to name
somebody the Raiders and the Broncos
yeah because we had see in like
basketball because y’all play so many
games we had ra we had in Denver we had
Raider

everybody black forces what a no black
forces G
but Al used to have a say and said the
quarterback must go down and he must go
down
hard the Raiders must go down and they
must go down hard oh we sending the
message they s they trying to send a
message we trying to send a message it
starts with the
kickoff oh all I’m saying is and look
here we gonna angle the
ball turn it back this way cuz I’m
trying to put my helmet in his ear
hole now I ain’t trying to knock him out
for the whole year Gil but I’m trying to
get his ass out for that
game y’all had too much Ang in y hearts
for the Raiders you know what we we
always felt we’ve always felt some type
of way about the Raiders but Mike told
us a story Mike used to be the head
coach of the Raiders Al fired him after
20
games you know if you on a contract you
get fired you get your money Al wouldn’t
pay it so Al said sue me it’s gonna cost
you more money through lawyer fees than
I actually owe you so Mike told us the
story Al owe me money you know he won’t
pay me so now we taking it personal we
talking okay Al like Al owe us
money so now we got to take it out on
your players
ass somebody go somebody gonna pay up so
you
y’all sound like y’all sound like Bloods
and Crips y’all don’t even know why y
y’all don’t even know why y’all beef hey

you didn’t tell that because we gonna
get your ass back wait y’all get traded
during middle of the season do y’all n
oh see so I don’t have to wor see y see
that’s the thing so because y’all don’t
get traded nor do if you don’t if let’s
say you you don’t get traded to the
Raiders and if you’re a free agent and

off the field it didn’t
matter it is what it
is y he always was some straight gang
members
withb
don’t even own no it’s Gil you don’t
understand Gil the thing about football
what make football so unique is that
it’s literally in it in it in its purest
form it’s about breaking a man’s
will it’s about intimidation it’s about
moving a man against his will do you
know what that’s like Gil to move a man
a man says I got my hand in the dirt and
I ain’t going nowhere and I say the hell
you say you you getting up out of this
plotter
land do you understand what it takes for
a man a man that’s a grown ass man and

Jaylen Brown liked the wild tweet
somebody said if Jaylen Brown was number
one on the team he would average 30 and
be
MVP he like he lik the Tweet
right he liked it and it’s still
there well I mean I’m sure I mean if
someone said you know I’m the number one
spokesperson in the world I’mma like it
too okay I get it not realistic but okay
I get it but look it probably maybe
maybe he didn’t mean
to no that’s come on it’s a it’s a
compliment I mean there just basically
saying you know if he was the number one
option that you know he he’ll be um an
MVP [ __ ] I mean he should feel that way
have you on a team T will have 50 I mean
they can that can be said so I wouldn’t
take that as no disrespect I just think
that was a compliment and he’s just
liking a compliment okay so we okay we
ain’t going to make too much out of it
Doc Rivers believe that Blake Griffin
DeAndre Jordan CP3 should have their
jersey retired with the Clippers you
agree with
Doc Blake Griffin CP3 and DJ DeAndre
Jordan I mean they at this moment in
time they are considered the best
clippers ever because um the
organization itself was basically a farm
team you know they never really kept
anybody past three years so you know uh
Blake Griffin what he got about 10,000
points there so I mean that’s not that’s
not
Raptors numbers but for the Clippers I
would think so DeAndre Jordan
too he got a defensive player of the
year three time all NBA one time allar
which is weird right one time Allstar
but he was top
15
um I wouldn’t I wouldn’t
for the legacy of the
Clippers I will say okay I wouldn’t be
mad at it I wouldn’t it wouldn’t be one
of those Jersey I’m like well how he get
his jersey retired the leg no Legacy
there so you know you gotta feel with
somebody so she might as well obviously
they the Clippers hadn’t had a whole lot
of great players probably the greatest
player probably would be uh uh Bob
McAdoo because the Clippers the Buffalo
Braves became the Clippers they actually
they were in San Diego first that’s how
they got the name Clippers and then they
moved to LA
so who would you say is the greatest
Clipper I would probably say Blake
Griffin at this
point Blake G uh between him or
CP3 you know but they’re both about what
five time all stars five time all NBA
and and I think most of all of CP3s
defensive player Awards came there so
between them two flip a coin be mad at
it Shaq on Rudy Gober I never thought he
was a great defensive player Shaq has
never hesitated to criticize Rudy Gober
and this week Shaq claimed that he feels
Gober three-time Defensive Player of the
Year and current runaway favorite to win
his fourth is overrated Defender I never
thought he was a great defender either
see what it is there’s not a lot of
centers that are making him play defense
like he’s not doing that is against yoke
Nico yic because he has to engage but
when he’s going against another guy he’s
76 of course if you lay it up he’s going
to block it any truth to what Shaq’s
saying about
gobear for sure facts here I I had to
ask uh someone who
votes how do they rate defense and this
what they said they said steals blocks
defensive
rebounding team defense efficiency
opponent field goal position with player
as whoever the players are closest to
them
plus minus when they’re on and off the
floor
now what the hell does any of that mean
because of this Rudy
Gober is a
fivan now him guarding five men let’s
look at these stats joic he’s only
played yic one
time this year yic had 25 and 10 of
course he played wimy all four times
because he’s a rookie 29 and N 12 and 10
17 and 13 23 and 10 is what wimy gave
him he played in embiid one time mbid
gave him 51 and 10 he’s played ad two
times 31 and8 33 and 17 and then last
game he was a no show the guys who can
score are busting his ass which means
he’s not a great on ball Defender
meaning when the his guy has the ball
and he’s in the scoring position he
can’t stop him
um now what happens on screening rolls
and they switch and he switch it off of
his man right let’s say there’s a switch
and then jish get the ball and scores on
the guard that doesn’t count towards
Rudy okay right so there’s a bunch of
you’re you’re getting credit for things
that has nothing to do with you
personally right you’re getting
defensive stops but you’re not stopping
the guy who’s scoring on you right we
side blocks and this and that and
whoever the closest is to the guy who
misses it it just makes no sense and I
can see why Shaq is saying this and I
always understood it like people say you
didn’t play great defense oh I was great
help help great uh great helps side
defensive guy I took charges I was great
on the ball
down screens and [ __ ] yeah you got me on
that when I wasn’t very good I want to
be hit like that but my man wasn’t
taking me off the dribble and stuff like
that so it’s weird how they are raing
these guys steals blocks defensive
rebounding um but he can’t stop uh his
individual man one-on-one but he’s
leading in the category of Defense you
have
um you have Ant-Man as a defensive
player who literally stops his guy
right he’s a lock down
Defender we know he’s a lock down
Defender but how are you how do you get
credit as a Defender and him who gets
credit for this this
stop you know so the stats the stats
doesn’t show that he’s a great defensive
player like uh Ben Wallace yeah right
Wallace wasn’t very good guarding his
man
when his man was backing him down trying
to score under siiz he was uh light
light um waist down um but he was great
helps side
Defender right he was a great help helps
side Defender block shots weak side and
re like how does rebounding count his
defense is that that that’s not a
[ __ ] Factor Shaq ain’t nobody would
no great defend on you your big ass man
you gave every you remember uh D kimbe
was Defensive the year and Shaq gave
thir 37
17 I
mean first of all Bill Russell whoever
was a defensive player dhh uh David
Robinson it didn’t matter first of all
ain’t no great defensive player gonna
stop a great offensive player be it the
glove be it uh uh uh Alvin Robertson all
them great defensive guard they couldn’t
do anything with Jordan they couldn’t do
anything with them scoring guys David
Robinson the year he won MVP Elijah Juan
cooked
him I’m about cooked him go look it
up no no you’re right so so that’s what
I’m saying so who are you getting your
defensive rating off
of right like let’s say if I if jish
want to be a great defensive player and
he plays against Rudy every day
obviously Rudy can’t score if Rudy can’t
score jic becomes the best defensive
player year because he’s guarding a dude
who don’t shoot the ball right so with
all these switches and switching going
on we get to switch everything how do
you tell who’s actually counting for
defense all defensive rebound a guy who
averaging 14 rebounds and he’s leading
in he’s leading in defensive rating
that’s a [ __ ]
rebound that’s a rebound that has
nothing to do with stopping somebody
I I was third in steals right right they
credit me for no
defense AI is on the defensive team
Larry Hughes is first team defense
Gilbert didn’t get no defensive uh
points I was s in
steals know why God damn it that’s all I
wanted was the Ste I’m just trying to
figure out how how Tim Duncan beat all
all all defense 15 times that don’t win
def defensive play of the
year
you can’t be you can’t be a 15 time all
defensive player not one time in
defensive player a
year but that’s what I’m saying it’s
like what but but you when you read the
when you read what they’re saying steals
block defensive rebounds right team
defense efficiency so now it’s team
defense so that means you need more than
one [ __ ] player on the team to help
you guard somebody right then you got
opponent field goal percentage with
player as the closest
Defender so if I listen listen look this
how this looks let’s
say uh you get beat defensively yes
right and your man blow by you and you
miss the layup I’m near I’m the nearest
dude near to play you gonna get credit
for I don’t even have to be I don’t even
have to be looking I get the rating for
because I’m the closest to that Miss
shot
wow so [ __ ] I just want to guard like I
want to guard Ben Simmons then and say
hey Ben just keep shooting bro I’m just
stand right next to you brother stand
next I’m become the best defensive
player year player the year just off
that Steph Curry says he’s considering a
career in politics after retiring from
the NBA during an appearance on CBS
Morning to promote his CH new children’s
book and ex I I am extraordinary Steph
gave insight into his plans after ending
his current career maybe Steph said
would ask if he would ever expect to see
him make a run for the over office I
have an interest in leveraging every
part of my influence for good in the any
in in the in the way that I can so if
that’s the way that I can do it then I’m
not saying presidency but politics
maybe Steph I’m not mad I ain’t mad at
him either I mean but there’s a you know
G dude he’s a he’s a he’s a good dude he
has a good heart so you know uh you know
if he is in politics he’s going he’s
going to try to do right by the people G
there’s a difference between sports
journalist andest
investigative and news
journalists all I’m saying is make sure
your house is in order now if if if the
only thing that’s going to come up if
that you didn’t want them to build a
lowincome housing next to your residency
you’re gonna be
fine they’re going to find out
everything M ask Fanny
Willis all you got to do is go down
there and look at the da that’s in
Atlanta they brought these charges
against President
Trump nobody knew anything about what
was going on down there until she did
that so all I’m saying is hey I want I I
I believe in Step I I believe he’s he’s
a model
citizen but that’s just what we see they
gonna go hunting they gonna go fishing
yeah that’s politics is a dirty game man
they they they they they trying to
listen they trying to discredit you with
your your
pass but and hey against us it’s gonna
work against them they get to keep they
don’t even matter it don’t matter what
you it don’t matter about that because I
know a situation they made President
Obama disavow Reverend
Wright M couldn’t go to the church no
more couldn’t be couldn’t be a mentor
couldn’t be
anything now we see what’s going on
now David Duke it don’t even matter so
understand our
transgressions are like
shackles their transgressions are like
cobs you brush cob webs aside you brush
them off you shackles your held
accountable so I wish I wish the best of
luck get my
vote he gonna get my vote but we already
G know he gonna be on the golf
[Laughter]
course uh it’s time for our last topic
of the day uh Gil is called Q and
A
[Music]
double O Splash Uncle Gil my son loves
the show this is his favorite night to
watch he’s 12 years old and ask if you
guys would shout him out he’s an honor
rooll student and he’s going for all AE
all right hey bro thanks for watching I
appreciate hopefully your dad uh cover
your ears when we talk about some real
real real stuff that a 12 year old not
supposed to hear but congratulations bro
making honor rooll get all these AIDS
and thanks for tuning in and watching
night cap with Shannon and Gil ker
Norwood Jr go
ahead I don’t know how his son is up at
night at 11:30 being on the honor Road
tell him to take his little ass sleep
well you about this your favorite so we
we this is better be
homeschooled okay because the mother on
you know y’all come on about
7:30 uh Kimber Norwood Jr ask Gil do you
believe that Luca can help the man get
another
title um listen it it ain’t about luuka
Luka is one piece it’s it’s do you do
you think the
organization um the new organization is
going to put pieces around him to help
him win right when dirt first got there
um Cuban put a bunch of pieces when you
look at some of them lineups and rosters
that uh they were trying to build over
there um early in dirt’s career they
were trying right right right uh that’s
all that matters as long as the the
organization is really trying to put
pieces around them so you know once once
Luca hits about 20 is he about 25 right
now within the next two years we can
really see if they’re trying to make
moves to get a
championship we got here Jose De Jesus
sup a Gil you guys taking your lead your
your squad Prime Russ or rookie D Rose
Rose was what the athleticism listen
what we I I think we can feel come and
say this Russ and D Rose are the two
most athletic point guards that we’ve
ever seen now J is coming into that mix
too J Jo but man yeah D Rose had bounce
I’m talk about they had they had that
they like they they had the
Speed and that
explosion um I’m always go with the
bigger one right I’m always go with the
64 65 guy who can get out so I’m going
go with Russ um just because his the
tangibles right um everything he brings
the energy he brings like I I love me
some D Rose I mean I mean way he play
yeah it wasn’t Prime D Ro it was he
didn’t get a chance to get this Prime
because he was injured he never had a
chance he was it was young so I got to
see where Russ so I’m going to take the
triple double Russ over you know the the
the the MVP D roll knowing that we don’t
know what D Rose would have looked like
a healthy 25 26 27 where you gonna put J
in that
mix
um J right now
is I’ll have him
third right he’s third uh he hasn’t had
that that that drose MVP
year he hasn’t he hasn’t got to that
level but the things he has
done it’s hard to say he’s not right
there he’s he’s knocking on the door
yeah he’s knocking on the door right now
I never saw D Rose play didn’t see Russ
play in his prime but to watch
J if those guys were any more athletic
than J good God almighty
yeah CZ this dude
here the way he can contort his body now
D Rose could do that d r Russ that’s not
Russ Russ just explosive straight ahead
but D Rose with the Up and Under and the
Dipsy do man J man he’s like he’s just
suspended it
there yeah when he um we really we
really see they gonna think it’s
photosho about 10 15 15 years when he
went to block that shot and all this was
on the backboard oh when he brought
torian Prince when he block with with
the Lakers with the he playing the
Lakers when he blocked that the Lakers
yeah yeah that that when they blow that
up and they if that ain’t on his wall he
needs to go ahead and get that on his
wall that that that that that that is a
beautiful time capsule shot there great
king said Gil would you ever coach an
NBA team if the opportunity presents
itself how do you motivate watch to go
to
work you tell it the clock I would love
to coach a team if I have full control
of who I can draft okay uh who I can put
on my on my bench and all that and my
motivational speech will sound the same
every goddamn day who in h want to be a
max player that when they raise their
hands well Goddamn it let’s train like
one
the the max players train like max
players don’t tell me you want to be a
max player but you training like a six
man right I want you to train like Kobe
Bryan like Steph Curry I want you to
train like that and if you do that
that’s as a coach that’s one I want to
see how many max players I can push out
so when you when they hit the free
agency I’m the guy you coming for max
players right I you know because you’re
not going to tell me you want to be a
max player but you at the club every
night right don’t don’t be do not be
working out three times a a day you’re
running the beach you’re eating your
salad in the
summer to to come to training camp and
get ready for the season and then come
to the season work out one time and be
at the strip club all day because you’re
away from your your
wife don’t do don’t don’t give me the
worst of you see that’s what the NBA is
see they at home with the family in the
summer so they can’t do all the [ __ ]
they trying to do then come to the to
the season and that’s when they want to
consume the most alcohol they want to
stay up the latest they want to party
because they on the
road n we gonna flip this around we’re
not going you’re not GNA do that on this
watch this is the job now
right you know so that those are the
talks I’m going to have like do you
really want to be one of the greats if
you just come in here get in the CH
because I’mma treat you just like that
if you want to be a Kobe Bryant type we
gonna train like that I’mma hold you to
that
standard if you just want to come get a
check and do I’m G treat you like that
too I’m not gonna expect nothing from
you right you come in hey if you hit
your first two shots if keep you in if
not hey go no no down there where the
rest of you drunk [ __ ] be have
fun I ain’t going to be Fally hey you
come in late I’m not going to find you
I’m not even going to do nothing hey you
chose your path you gonna get paid
accordingly but the guys who’s trying to
put that work and they trying to get the
max deals I’mma help
them don’t complain about the RO don’t
complain about the results you didn’t
get because the work you didn’t put in
and that’s what man I
bro come on now kimer no wood Jun said
my goal in life is to have a one-on-one
conversation with you what do you think
that conversation would be like you are
my role model I love watching every
Monday in Tuesday on first take it all
depends on what you’re trying to what
you trying to do what you’re trying to
become in
life um I can
just I have a a general good idea when I
start to talk to someone how serious
they are about what they want to
become because it
a very apparent because when people say
well man I want to get in ch I want to
train but I got to eat my fried man you
know I got to have my man hey sh man
come on man you know I gotta get my
Burgers I gotta get my pizza I gotta do
okay next question I’m not g i don’t
because I don’t waste my time CA you you
telling me all the things that you don’t
want to get up give up but you telling
me you want to be great there are no
shortcuts to Greatness there are only
sacrifices to Greatness y That’s
it and so by telling me what you what
you don’t want to do I need you to come
in and says okay what do I need to do to
be able to accomplish X Y and
Z nobody wants to sacrifice I I I think
that’s I think that’s usually everyone’s
Achilles heel they don’t want to
sacrifice for what they
want no that becomes
like you you you really have to
understand that to get to get to another
place you got to do different
things to get what you never have you
got to do what you’ve never
done I
mean I I just I I just don’t get people
that that think that it’s like this this
stuff is easy like people just roll out
of bed and become
great no there’s a price to be paid make
because we make it seem
easy that’s the problem we make it seem
easy because they can’t see everything
we’re
doing they just see the results and the
results look easy but see that’s what
discipline is it requires you to do your
best when no one is
watching see if all you see all you see
is what I do on the field but you didn’t
see what I did while you when you
couldn’t
see but I couldn’t fool the man in the
mirror I know how many times I was on
that track I know how much weight I
lifted I know how I
ate so I couldn’t get mad if things
didn’t go my way because I didn’t do the
necessary work that was require to get
to what I had done so so there’s only
one one way to do it you got to do what
others can’t or won’t and sometimes you
got to do
both it’s
simple R said since it’s 11:30 p.m.
central sadistic and I’ll be asleep by
the time you read
this I’m pre asking my questions would
you consider would you consider to be a
failure you experienced and what did you
learn from it no I just consider delayed
success uh I didn’t do what I needed to
do in high school um
but it the best thing to happen was
because I bulled in high school and I
went to Savannah State I met a lifelong
friend I met instructors and professors
and doctors that sincerely and
genuinely carried about Shannon sharp
and probably two of my favorite I mean I
had a bunch I mean probably four or five
was hannes Walton and Norman Elmore and
uh I just remember them always telling
me
says you’re G to be our best
representative of saan
state and I want you to understand that
but but I want you to wear it like a
badge of
honor and I never forgot that and I
remember when I went to the league and I
came back uh um Dr El Dr Walt hugged me
and told me how proud he was Dr Norman
Elmore I love going to that man’s class
man uh Gil I remember one morning it was
it was cold oh it was really really cold
now it was raining it was two it was two
instances one it was
raining and you know you get a profess
you give you know you give him 10
minutes and he come and he always have
these stacks of books stacked up this
high and they sliding all over the place
and I just remember he say he said you
know what I almost didn’t come it was
like four or five of us stay everybody
else was gone he said you know what I
almost didn’t come today he said but I
thought somebody would want to learn
something man I would hate I man I love
going to that man’s class I love going
to Dr uh Walton’s class um I had uh uh a
professor gay hu she was amazing Dr
mmore Dr McLemore and Dr Green were my
remedial reading and English teaching
because when I got to Savannah State I
was in developmental studies I don’t
know if anybody know but those were they
call them developmental studies but it
was reading because I didn’t meet the
academic requirements to get into
college so we know we know those mean I
was in there all of them I had English
reading and math
and graduated college in four years and
two months had I not been in those class
i’ have graduated with no summer school
but I wasn’t ashamed a lot of my
teammates were ashamed to go in there
because they were trailers and everybody
knew what those class were man I go in
there have hey have my stars jeans on my
aard I a clue on Friday had me a
briefcase had a jacket on because I like
I’m gonna be something y’all can’t make
y’all can’t y’all can’t make me I take
Soul responsibility
for my failures for putting myself in
the situation so y’all can’t make me
feel bad I know I ain’t
done man I walk right up in that thing
hey Gil I had me a b iron I had my shirt
iron night before on Thursday night iron
my shirt had a collar shirt on get me a
jacket get my crease hey have
slacks go right up in there with a
briefcase because I know I was gonna be
something oh yeah okay
yeah I didn’t go to
class oh I’m going to class oh I’m going
G you know where I’m going to class
where you think them things were they W
in their dorm they in
class uh yeah see I I listen I I was try
I stayed in the
gym I stayed in the gym I went to one
class my my freshman year I went to one
that’s the first day to see what was
inting there and then um um I had and
then I had the my second year same thing
one class that was it iide the front of
the class too I’m still legga a
freshman God Gil you you further from
graduating than when you went to
school oh no no no yeah I went listen I
went there for
basketball that’s it the program I seen
them on they on TV and this and this I
use the television to get drafted people
like yeah you gonna go back and get your
degree for what I I I got all the
relationships I need I don’t need
somebody say you you had a briefcase not
a book bag no I had a briefcase in one
hand and books in the
other
I I was dealing it uh 4kt ask is the
altitude playing in Denver is bad as
people yeah you got to get used to it
there’s a reason why people train at
altitude they go to why do you the uh uh
uh the Olympic Training facilties in
Colorado Springs they wouldn’t put it
there if they if it didn’t benefit you
most people train at
altitude they go to flag sty they go to
uhhh uh uh Colorado
Springs they I had the T I had the T
chamber yes absolutely yeah so it
absolutely it absolutely put uh Big Mike
said what’s up un Gil question there
which record you think would be broken
first uh a curry three-point record he
said LeBron 40,000 point or Curry
three-point record do you understand how
many how how long 40,000 that record
stood for almost 40
years
40 Curry’s three-point the the Curry’s
three-point
record because they shoot more of them
uh they shoot more and he started off
slow
angle injury so there’s there’s a get
there’s there’s space to get that that
that there a lot of guys that are ahead
of the pace for yeah for where Curry was
box go to Big Bear um up here in
Northern California so yeah ever since
basically since Mexico
City in 68 um the Olympics I mean the
thin Al the thin air up there uh a lot
of Records fell uh the Kenyon they train
in the Riff Valley there’s a reason
that’s why they win all the damn
time yeah to definitely have something
to do with it uh John marinell said give
if you could compare your game to anyone
currently in the league who would it be
in
why uh it was early James Harden mixed
with DNE right I was very good at
uh mean like shifting guys in
understanding human behavior uh so
getting to the free throw line getting
um but I was more I was more allaround
than James was right I posted up um you
know I had one-on-one mid post I shot
without dribbling I knew how to flare I
knew how to cut uh played very well
without the ball um and with Dame
um I possessed knowing how to slow the
game down while it was moving f fast so
you know hitting shots at the end of the
game that’s that’s that’s mental
training um we’re being clutched clutch
is more of understanding why everything
is going fast you can slow it all down
and that’s what I was very good at um
but for the most part um I was I was a
mix between the two but they they’ve
overe exceeded where I was I mean you
know Ain but it was those two Aaron
Owens says I remember when a fan ask
Klay Thompson the autograph a toaster
what’s the weirdest item a fan requested
to be signed up and
G uh a baby’s
diaper while the baby still had it
on had it hindsight in hindsight it was
a new D it was you know boom and then I
realized that yeah he going yeah he
gonna use the restroom at some point and
I’m pretty sure y’all not gonna
that yeah you probably
right
uh man you know what people be talking
about take off a shoe try to take off a
shoe and get me to side I like for
real you really think I’m about to side
your
shoe I don’t I I don’t I don’t feel
comfortable signing sign my arm or
something like that come on man get a
piece of paper something I’m trying to
think
oh little kid little kid come that’s a
little come on that’s a little kid thing
man I’m never going to wash this arm

weirdest thing
I’ve I think it’s weird when people want
you to I’m a football player want you to
sign a a
baseball who the hell do I look like
Barry
bars I mean would you want bar balls ins
side of
football sometimes call they at a time
sometimes that’s all they have and they

Unc what Isiah not being on the Olympics have to do with MJ. Magic came out & said he didn’t want Isiah on the team not MJ
Anthony Davis is Sabonis’s son 😂
Dam unk i thought i needed therapy i just needed this show
Lakers need a centerr
Kd. Didn't sacrifice.sacrifice . they both benefited from that because Kd never won a championship before or after that warriors team.isiah over mj.
Y’all already the best UNC
Gil is so cute. 😊
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾
never knew Gil before this slot. he a sharp cookie, knows his game and compliments UNC for hoops.
Nike air max 97
Those are 97’s but they Witherspoon 97 air maxes
If you wanna be the best talk more about the nuggets that's what helped you get popular defending them against skip with great points
So we have a representative for basketball (Gilbert) & football (Chad) on the show of course and they are great! I wonder if Unk would consider an addition from the MLB background as a regular on the show. Who would be a good candidate? 😏 Of course someone retired that can converse across different sports & subjects/be versatile & still have fun like Agent 0 & Ocho
Man gil insight it’s perfect for night cap y’all tripping I love gills takes on basketball
1:01:18 Steph sacrificed playing time and points to fit KD into the team. KD didn't sacrifice anything except what was unnecessary in 2019 because he was WARNED that the Warriors would lose regardless of if he rejoined them.
1:30:00
Gotta give Gil credit at least he knew it was an air max 97 upper. Love those Sean Wotherspoon’s
I really FW the show when Gil's on. Nice hearing ball players educate people on what goes on. More shows could learn from Gilbert 😂 him and Teague with Club 520 really doing their thing right now.
Gil insights on what he would do if he was a coach was honest and definitely correct 1:54:21
Shannon needs to stop with the interrupting. If it don't relate to Shannon, he dismisses it. If it does, he cuts off Gill and tries to make it his story.
Nope unc I have to respectfully disagree Thomas shouldn’t have been on team mj didn’t want him end of discussion.
Yes Gil those are the Air Max 97/1 silhouette collab with Sean Witherspoon 2:10:31
Unc said "I can physically assault you and nothing will happen," Gil said "that sounds like the same show I be watching" talking about Cops lol. I died laughing
Andre Agassi has some cold a** Nike Tennis shoes. If i had my bread right, I would get every pair.
Unc lied, those are the Air Max 97', theyre called the Air Max 1/97 VF Sean Wotherspoons. Those are legit
you guys are missing the point with Klay… he just wants a long-term commitment. They commit to 4 years to Draymond. They all want to retire as a warriors.
Stephen will be fine….Uncs acting like Stephen has some dark secrets
Gil is amazing and I appreciate this brother
It's Different with Durant he joined the Warriors the same team that put his team the Thunder out of the playoffs if I can't beat them join them was a person thats Durant I wouldnt mind if he joined another with another superstar and tried to take the Warriors down get payback thats why them 2 rings he won with Golden State really dont count when it does because they really didn't need him to win that 4th ring after he left
Shadow banning this episode!!!
GOAT 30…🐐🐐🐐.HAD TO COME BACK An post for UNC AN Isaiah
Thats definitely facts i dont care how much of great defender a player is their is no way they can stop a great offensive player unless they got help from 1 of their teammates a great offensive player cooks a great defensive player everytime if a great defensive player goes 1 on 1 with a great offensive player the great offensive player wins everytime js 🤷🏾♂️
Gil would be a good H.C.
I’m a Minnesota fan . I watch Rudy. We LOVE Rudy . Rudy kinda underrated
I wish Unc will let Gil finish his statements and stop cutting him off… and yall hate Gil because he actually knows the game and is honest about everybody 😂 which is how EVERY analyst of the game should be and not choose favorites
I love Gils basketball analysis!!!!! I am a HUGE NBA FAN!
