@@miyagifatghost2684I think that’s just who he is. Like there’s no getting through to him once his mind is made up.

That's good content creation. If skip can make a 30 year career dick riding Jordan than hating on LeBron I can tolerate a black dude doing the same shit just 100 times softer.

Mccants is showing the attitude why he didn’t make the lakers roster. He thought his spot was secured & Pat Bev outworked his ass!!! This is the attitude that got him out him out the league. He wanted something secured based off his name
@@kennyduarte6744If he can’t read comments on UA-cam without some sort of issue, that’s his fault. Why should the viewers walk on eggshells to “please” a man that doesn’t know or care about them?
Ong he literally has one of the worst attitudes in pro sports history. It’s actually embarrassing and disgusting. I’d hate to be around him consistently
Gil sometimes talks to rashaad calmly like he’s a child before he finally loses patience, then realizes it’s rashaad, then gives up and goes back to calm
Mccants sounds like he was a very EMOTIONAL child growing up 😂😂😂 “ but he is apart of the teaaaaamm” 😂😂 someone give that man a hug and tell him he is a success .
I honestly think these guys know someone has to have the hot take. If everyone agrees on everything, the show isn't as exciting. I would almost guarantee he doesn't even believe half the things he argues about. It's for the show. Someone has to bring up arguing points to start a conversation. It's smart.
I believe McCants has figured out his role in life and is using it to push his brand. He has solidified his spot on this show as the "idiot". I applaud him for keeping the back and forth entertainment.
You can tell Mccants was hurt on this because he was getting flashbacks on how his former teammates treated him when he thought he still had the juice and actually didn’t 😂 like Eddie Murphy said in Raw “what have you done for me lately?”
The problem with rashads comparison is that when kawhi is healthy and playing he’s balling, and everyone expects Beal to ball when he comes back healthy. When Ben plays he drops 6 points 7 boards and 7 assist… he’s not even a 99c version of the old Ben Simmons he’s like a dirty penny found beneath a bums pipe (no disrespect to the bums out there)
Kawhi been having 20+ point games with 6 rebounds and 4.5 assist despite load management and injuries. That was definitely a dumb take from Rashad then he mentioned Ben player value when you can't even trade him for Jalen Duran from the pistons.
McCants constantly proves the difference between a hooper and a professional with the mentality that keeps you in the league and helps you stay in the league as a competitor
Skip always getting personal mcCants never does cause its for entertainment. If everybody agrees it's boring. Some of us take that role for entertainment
McCants doesn't say completely bad stuff like Skip though, plus he can be right as well If anything, the way he conducts himself sometimes is what holds him back, but at the same time he is one of the only ones who doesn't rely on yelling and he isn't obnoxious with others but his big ego.
@posquale21 surprisingly yea; it's flabbergasting his perspective in contrast to most of his fellow ex players. At this point he's gotta be trolling cause aint no f**king way.....🤦🏾♂️
No, because McCants was never a #1 or even #2 guy as Pro! Maybe a year in Minn he was 2/3 guy when Al Jefferson was the #1 guy but he couldn't stay on the court due to being a Def liability.
The point he's missing is that Ben literally didn't do anything on the Nets. He's basing it off Ben on Philly. 2 different players. Ben on the Nets is basically a rookie
He isn't missing the point. He is playing the role of having the contrary opinion. He might believe some of it but he is also playing a role. He said it himself in another interview that is currently popular on UA-cam.
No cap Gil may have some crazy takes (usually on purpose tho) but here he's not only right but he showed what type of man he is. To admit that he failed his youngbulls is commendable esp for a Top tier athlete. I heard him say that his youngbulls only saw the wild side but not his work ethic. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Rashad is just living vicariously and painfully through Ben Simmons right now. The NBA left both of these babies behind, and they will always continue to cry about their own self-fueled demise.
Gil and K-mart are just making strange guesses. Nobody acts like that in the NBA, on any team. Gil, K-Mart and Rashad all played in the league, so they all should know. The situation is as Rashad says.
@@penkima4923 you dumb just like Rashad cause Gil and Kenyon are saying truth.

@@Swannkkkkk I'm not going to watch that again. In fact, I didn't watch properly the first time. But I heard enough. I think Rashad often tries to argue for the sake of argument. But on this video, he says what Gil and K-Mart should already know. When Ben's coming back, not one player on any team's gonna say "We don't know you". They all will say "Welcome back, Benny. Let's get you back to playing high-level basketball." The minutes are up to the coach, and what the contract says. Ben never was a scoring option like Kawhi, so there won't be a problem with the teammates.
10:47 I'm going to hell for this, but McCants sounds so special in this clip, and it makes it so clear that he was talking about himself and his ex-teammates, with that "why didn't y'all help me" - it's like IT4's "they gave up on me clip" but without the talent that IT4 absolutely had, and how the celtics 100% gave up on him wayyy too quickly
He thinks he shouldn't have had to earn people's respect, just like he didn't have to earn the roster spot in the Lakers tryout. He wanted to coast forever on his draft status.
I get what Rashad saying. He saying true teamates support each other through the tough times. But gil and kenyon saying he's basically never available so the team moves on. Same thing happened to david lee in gsw. Edit: who hurt yall in the replies?🤣
Gilbert and Kenyon are saying they’ve moved on basketball-wise. Of course they still support him as a person, but they’re not just waiting for his return.
Support is not a 1 way street. Even if u not playing what are u doin for the team? Are u traveling with the team helping the young guys. On the bench rooting the guys on practicing etc he does nothing n want support?
David Lee & Ben Simmons situations are completely different. After they won the title, David Lee got traded that off season. He wasn't sulking on the bench, and they didn't ignore him. He wasn't gone be getting minutes & at the time, he was making too much. The issue with Ben is, he hasn't played. I don't know what you or Rashad are expecting from the team, but it's not like anybody knows what he'll give you when he gets healthy. Are you saying they should shout out the 14th & 15th man too?
@oo70mar there is very much a wrong answer. No one's rooting against Ben. I haven't heard anyone saying anything negative about him. But he hasn't been an impact player in 3yrs, and not just bc of injury. Nobody is going to talk about/"give respect" to a player like that. Lemme know when people start to 💩 on him, til then, this is a non issue
What's worse with Rashad McCants is that unline Skip Bayless, he doesn't really sound like he's purposely trolling and purposely making dumb takes. He sounds sincere in his opinions, how insane they may be.
With the zion situation, we all forget that McCollum said when he got there he didn't even MEET zion when he first go there...it matters if you're NOT there with the team
I love the banter rashad brings but his comparison on Leonard & Simmons was weak when Leonard is on the floor he's getting buckets and locking shit down & hes a champion so his teammates respect that on the other end Simmons isn't doing none of that he can't shoot hes not a champion can't make free throw he's just a 6'10 dude without no game that can only make layups.
Gilbert made this Sesame Street simple....if three of us players got here from another squad and played 100 GAMES TOGETHER and you've been here for a hot minute and we have played with you for 10 GAMES, why do we care what you have to say? We have to keep it moving...
Rashad is on some crack tryin to defend Ben Simmons. Lol. Ben isn’t making an effort to play. We saw it during his final days with the sixers. He’s a diva
They need to respect a guy who forced his way out a team because he gotten his feelings hurt, then came into a situation to make every excuse in the book to not play and after that before this season making a AND1 mixtape of his highlights in the gym and soon as the season starts he yells out f**k my back I will need that 35 mil in advance.
I feel like McCants answered his own questions when he asked the kawhi question. Pop & tony Parker came out to say kawhi wasn’t really injured, then when he ask to get traded, they sent him to the East The clipper group with lou will, montrez & pat bev didn’t like the fact kawhi & PG wasn’t playing tht much. The Org chose to trade them since they didn’t mesh well. Kinda seems like most teammates don’t like tht baby shit, try to play if u can play
Spurs we’re desperate to get Kawhi to come back and play. Clippers were/are desperate for a healthy Kawhi. The Nets aren’t desperate for Ben, so I can see them being indifferent to him at this point.
@@basketballbicker8933 seems like McCants lives in the present or doesn’t watch much basketball. When Ben went to the nets everyone wanted him to play, but because of whatever he got going on, ppl like cam Thomas, mikal bridges, dinwiddie etc are getting mins and creating a name for themselves. Why would I feel compelled to take in account your feelings and status on the team, when you being gone has benefitted me the most? I think that’s the main point.
@@MrMiddy Exactly. These dudes are getting burn and feel like they are better players than Ben anyway. They can also focus on having stability instead of the game of him being in and out of the lineup. If he made them a title favorite, they’d want him back, but at his play they’ll gladly take his minutes.
How can he play pg if he can't shoot and is scared of driving to the basket? Nobody will guard him so his teammates aint getting open... the only place he can playmake is transition
Bro nobody got time to be revolving schemes around Ben at this point. They don’t even know when he gone be back and when he is how many games he gone play til he out again.
Exactly. It’s not about being the man or the leader or even impact. His players aren’t all out sticking up for him because it’s the same story year after year. He doesn’t show effort when he’s in there and everytime he gets a chance to be out he’s out. His teammates probably barely even know what his injury really is and why he’s out so long.
Rashad wasn’t 100% wrong he speaking from more of a morality stand point and Gil/Kenyon speaking strictly basketball. They not wrong either. Your best ability is availability
Yeah but unfortunately it doesn’t work like that the other players think he’s faking when he got hurt this last time dinwiddie and cam Thomas was clowning him saying they didn’t know he was hurt and they didn’t even know he was at practice lol
As a Nets fan I can 100% say that we 90% are just used to it. Its become a thing of “If he can play great, but if not so be it just trade him” Its frustrating as a fan because he’s a great pg, defender and ball handler but he’s never around. As for the scoring even without a jumper he can easily put up 15 but he’s in his own head so it affects the team because he could have kyle lowey under the basket and instead of just laying it up he looks to pass. So it is what it is, I wish nothing bad on him I really hope he can come back and play for us and revitalize his career but at this point 🤷🏽♂️
I saw McCants episode on Anton’s podcast, where he admits he tries to take the takes opposing Gil, because it gets him on the show more. And I see it now, it makes sense. The comments calling him dumb, I thought he was dumb too, but now I see, WE are the ones being played lol and Rashad knows how to keep his bag coming in. Well played Bro. I respect that
A wise man can play the fool but a fool can never play wise! The fools are all in these comments projecting their egos on a successful black man lmao gotta have haters, makes the world go round
I caught on 10 episodes in he would argue semantics and then change the argument to something else to try to continue the convo. People dont like K Mart because he agrees a lot with gil but majority of players would all agree on most topics Shad just playing chess to get the clicks
@@VinceVanished yes facts bro. And I’m sure most of the players that agree, still rich too. Like K-mart. But Shad already admitted he isn’t as wealthy anymore on the other podcast. That man is really working . Literally delivering a service, we the fans need a villain. Somebody to keep the story going and the debates loud and he is intentionally fulfilling that need. Which is gonna keep his demand high as a cast member
I get Mccants point. He got them quiet after saying "go ask him" Being apart of a team has some form of respect regardless of ability or availability. Now when you perform and be a locker room guy that's another form of respect.
mccants wants ben to be treated like a star though, which obviously isnt going to happen anymore. then he switched it up and said like a teammate. now i doubt his teammates are roasting this dude or anything negative, so im wondering what mccants really means by respect. because yes ben is injured, but there were alot of times he wasn't and he made the decision not to practice or travel with the team. hard to think of someone as a teammate when you're not around, whether to injury or personal decision. in anycase, being displeased with a teammate doesn't mean disrespect, so again, i want to know what exactly mccants means by respect, because im pretty sure he means "treated like a star" like he was blatantly saying in the beginning of his argument before switching gears
Correction Gil @ 8:56 the whole year that incompetent Wizards organization lied to it’s fan base and said we would run it back. Wall and Beal never got the play together that year because before training camp the team disrespectfully traded him. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ Imo it’s because they didn’t want to try and win again. And instead of parting ways amicably they chose to paint the Black Man as a thug. As if he hasn’t done more for Raleigh, North Carolina and (the real) D.C. more than them politicians right there. 💯👌🏾👌🏾
Same thing happened with DRose and Jimmy. DRose was the man, the MVP. After the injuries Jimmy carried the team. When Rose came back, it wasn’t necessarily his team. Jimmy asserted himself as the de facto leader
Here's the point that's getting missed: Ben Simmons is making $38 million this season and is scheduled to make $40 million next season. Missed the last 24 games of last season plus the first round of the playoffs, where the Nets got swept by the Sixers. Played six of the first seven games this season; hasn't played since November 6th. At the start of the season, he was talking a whole lot about "feeling in the best shape ever" and "can't wait to produce for the team." He supposedly had another procedure in the off-season to fix his ongoing back issues. Now he's out because of his knee...I think. I'm not sure because the reason is constantly changing because he doesn't want to play basketball. He only wants to get paid.
I used to think Rashad was crazy but He is actually genius he found a way to be Gils antagonist and continues to troll us with hot takes to the point he low key a major part of the show
Why everyone hating on Rashad? Yeah a lot of his takes are ridiculous but it's entertainment. It's a game it's just funny to laugh at point at . Anyone taking sports or sports commentators seriously needs to chill out and he's way more likeable than anyone on ESPN or Skip. I just watch to see how tight kmart and gil get at this man lmao
Thing is players like Kawhi, or KD, before they got hurt, they were competitors. They played hard, practiced hard, etc. So they get respect for that. Ben Simmons has shown time and time again all he wants is the status. He came back averaging what 6 -7 ppg? vs someone like a KD who had a more severe injury and came back averaging 27.
This is like an Abbott and Costello comedy act. "Ben needs respect", "From whom?" "His team", "WHAT TEAM!", "But he didn't play!", "Play what?" "Basketball", "But they don't know him!"
This was the perfect comment 😂
You might need to animate this cuz it's perfect😂

David Lee & Ben Simmons situations are completely different. After they won the title, David Lee got traded that off season. He wasn't sulking on the bench, and they didn't ignore him. He wasn't gone be getting minutes & at the time, he was making too much.
The issue with Ben is, he hasn't played. I don't know what you or Rashad are expecting from the team, but it's not like anybody knows what he'll give you when he gets healthy.
Are you saying they should shout out the 14th & 15th man too?
@oo70mar there is very much a wrong answer. No one's rooting against Ben. I haven't heard anyone saying anything negative about him. But he hasn't been an impact player in 3yrs, and not just bc of injury.
Nobody is going to talk about/"give respect" to a player like that. Lemme know when people start to 💩 on him, til then, this is a non issue
This conversation felt like a desi banks skit...this was hilarious
Thought dude was about to cry 😂😂 “what do you mean I’m Ben Simmons” 😭😂 I’m crying
McCant insecure every second he opens his mouth. its insane.
Rashad is so emotional it’s hilarious 😂🤷♂️ it’s borderline sus when it comes to him talking about being a teammate 😂
Makes sense why no gm ever thought about signing Rashard McCants to a contract.
Seriously
Man acted like a child out there, IN HIS MID OR LATE THIRTIES. JEEZ
Good point Gil u and Kenyon are the best on the show keep up the good work
“That’s your name” Kenyon man love it
What's worse with Rashad McCants is that unline Skip Bayless, he doesn't really sound like he's purposely trolling and purposely making dumb takes. He sounds sincere in his opinions, how insane they may be.
No bro he’s doing this on purpose and that’s why he’s on the show
With the zion situation, we all forget that McCollum said when he got there he didn't even MEET zion when he first go there...it matters if you're NOT there with the team
Facts called him out on tv like mfs dont wanna deal with the bs these stars are allowed to do
I love the banter rashad brings but his comparison on Leonard & Simmons was weak when Leonard is on the floor he's getting buckets and locking shit down & hes a champion so his teammates respect that on the other end Simmons isn't doing none of that he can't shoot hes not a champion can't make free throw he's just a 6'10 dude without no game that can only make layups.
You must have forgotten ben is a lockdown also
Gilbert made this Sesame Street simple....if three of us players got here from another squad and played 100 GAMES TOGETHER and you've been here for a hot minute and we have played with you for 10 GAMES, why do we care what you have to say? We have to keep it moving...
McCants wanted to argue just to argue. I almost spit out my drink when K-Mart started rolling up his sleeves. 🤣
You can tell who the sorriest on the court just from sitting back and listening to them talk 😂
Rashad is on some crack tryin to defend Ben Simmons. Lol. Ben isn’t making an effort to play. We saw it during his final days with the sixers. He’s a diva
They need to respect a guy who forced his way out a team because he gotten his feelings hurt, then came into a situation to make every excuse in the book to not play and after that before this season making a AND1 mixtape of his highlights in the gym and soon as the season starts he yells out f**k my back I will need that 35 mil in advance.
He did have a back surgery
@@udithsethu552like a lot of back surgeries😂. Dude just don’t wanna play it’s that simple
@@jalilcook5113love to see you play with back surgery
I agree with McCants. Just bc you’re hurt doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a say so
Gil is actually pretty smart keeping McCants around. He knows what he is doing
I feel like McCants answered his own questions when he asked the kawhi question.
Pop & tony Parker came out to say kawhi wasn’t really injured, then when he ask to get traded, they sent him to the East
The clipper group with lou will, montrez & pat bev didn’t like the fact kawhi & PG wasn’t playing tht much. The Org chose to trade them since they didn’t mesh well.
Kinda seems like most teammates don’t like tht baby shit, try to play if u can play
This right here!!
Spurs we’re desperate to get Kawhi to come back and play. Clippers were/are desperate for a healthy Kawhi. The Nets aren’t desperate for Ben, so I can see them being indifferent to him at this point.
@@basketballbicker8933 seems like McCants lives in the present or doesn’t watch much basketball.
When Ben went to the nets everyone wanted him to play, but because of whatever he got going on, ppl like cam Thomas, mikal bridges, dinwiddie etc are getting mins and creating a name for themselves.
Why would I feel compelled to take in account your feelings and status on the team, when you being gone has benefitted me the most? I think that’s the main point.
@@MrMiddy Exactly. These dudes are getting burn and feel like they are better players than Ben anyway. They can also focus on having stability instead of the game of him being in and out of the lineup. If he made them a title favorite, they’d want him back, but at his play they’ll gladly take his minutes.
Play ben as a point guard off the bench and play small ball around him , he moves to the 5 on defense
How can he play pg if he can't shoot and is scared of driving to the basket? Nobody will guard him so his teammates aint getting open... the only place he can playmake is transition
Fuck all that: how can he play PG if he DOESN’T PLAY??? He has to playyyyyyyyy
@@kessauman330he can literally be lebron james but decides to be Jose Calderon 😪
@@ChromeHeart-hx2msI would make that same comparison only difference is Jose shot the ball 😂
Bro nobody got time to be revolving schemes around Ben at this point. They don’t even know when he gone be back and when he is how many games he gone play til he out again.
Gil & Kenton speaking facts 💯
Same thing happened with Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole. Klay was out 2 years and Poole felt like those minutes were supposed to be his!
Big Hat Always Be Sensitive In Conversation….Ben Simmons Chooses Not To Give Heart
Rashad's takes be off, you can't treat Ben like Beal cuz Beal shows effort and prior to his injury we were still questioning Simons
Exactly. It’s not about being the man or the leader or even impact. His players aren’t all out sticking up for him because it’s the same story year after year. He doesn’t show effort when he’s in there and everytime he gets a chance to be out he’s out. His teammates probably barely even know what his injury really is and why he’s out so long.
“WE’RE TEAMMATES !” …. “And…?” 😂😂😂😂
Rashad wasn’t 100% wrong he speaking from more of a morality stand point and Gil/Kenyon speaking strictly basketball. They not wrong either. Your best ability is availability
Yeah but unfortunately it doesn’t work like that the other players think he’s faking when he got hurt this last time dinwiddie and cam Thomas was clowning him saying they didn’t know he was hurt and they didn’t even know he was at practice lol
@pedrogates3189 I actually forgot about Ben Simmons tbh.
He's being emotional
@@nukeboy4939as you should
Trying to apply mortality in a *business* is a recipe to get hurt.
Funniest segment ever 😂😂😂😂
Man ain't nobody thinking bout Ben Simmons 4 points, 5 rebounds LMAO 😂😂😍😍
I’m laughing the whole video they funny as hell 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a Nets fan I can 100% say that we 90% are just used to it. Its become a thing of “If he can play great, but if not so be it just trade him” Its frustrating as a fan because he’s a great pg, defender and ball handler but he’s never around. As for the scoring even without a jumper he can easily put up 15 but he’s in his own head so it affects the team because he could have kyle lowey under the basket and instead of just laying it up he looks to pass. So it is what it is, I wish nothing bad on him I really hope he can come back and play for us and revitalize his career but at this point 🤷🏽♂️
As a nets fan ? Lmfao 😂😂😂😂 bum ass team
I truly hope that Ben scored 30 points too, otherwise it would be such a shame.
He desperately needs to get on the floor.
That man mine as well go play for Beijing royal fighters 😂 the career can't be revitalized he a used to be player now.
As a fellow nets fan...I am counting down the days that is no longer on this team.
@@grospipo20that's how we felt as sixers fans he is not dak good 😂
I saw McCants episode on Anton’s podcast, where he admits he tries to take the takes opposing Gil, because it gets him on the show more. And I see it now, it makes sense. The comments calling him dumb, I thought he was dumb too, but now I see, WE are the ones being played lol and Rashad knows how to keep his bag coming in. Well played Bro. I respect that
A wise man can play the fool but a fool can never play wise! The fools are all in these comments projecting their egos on a successful black man lmao gotta have haters, makes the world go round
@@GanjaDaddi_ well said my guy 👏🏾
I caught on 10 episodes in he would argue semantics and then change the argument to something else to try to continue the convo. People dont like K Mart because he agrees a lot with gil but majority of players would all agree on most topics Shad just playing chess to get the clicks
@@VinceVanished yes facts bro. And I’m sure most of the players that agree, still rich too. Like K-mart. But Shad already admitted he isn’t as wealthy anymore on the other podcast. That man is really working . Literally delivering a service, we the fans need a villain. Somebody to keep the story going and the debates loud and he is intentionally fulfilling that need. Which is gonna keep his demand high as a cast member
Ofcourse it’s common sense, people keep gettin mad at him when all this is entertainment
That Kardashian attitude lol 😆
Good points on both... Ima say this.. coming off injury u want your respect to understand I'm coming for my spot.... respect it!
If Rashad strategy to stay on the show is looking a complete fool he executing tf out that idea! 😂
No foreal dude is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Well, this conversation sort of indirectly sums it up. They didn't even know if Ben Simmons played last year.
Lol hell I don’t think anyone knew. That’s his impact.
I get Mccants point. He got them quiet after saying "go ask him" Being apart of a team has some form of respect regardless of ability or availability. Now when you perform and be a locker room guy that's another form of respect.
Thank you. Nobody else seeing that tho
Ben simmons is away from the team but alright
mccants wants ben to be treated like a star though, which obviously isnt going to happen anymore. then he switched it up and said like a teammate. now i doubt his teammates are roasting this dude or anything negative, so im wondering what mccants really means by respect.
because yes ben is injured, but there were alot of times he wasn't and he made the decision not to practice or travel with the team. hard to think of someone as a teammate when you're not around, whether to injury or personal decision.
in anycase, being displeased with a teammate doesn't mean disrespect, so again, i want to know what exactly mccants means by respect, because im pretty sure he means "treated like a star" like he was blatantly saying in the beginning of his argument before switching gears
Nawl Simmons playing games
Imagine if McCants said that crap to Kobe Bryant about him "having to embrace" Smush Parker as a teammate!😂😂😂😂😂
Correction Gil @ 8:56 the whole year that incompetent Wizards organization lied to it’s fan base and said we would run it back. Wall and Beal never got the play together that year because before training camp the team disrespectfully traded him. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Imo it’s because they didn’t want to try and win again. And instead of parting ways amicably they chose to paint the Black Man as a thug. As if he hasn’t done more for Raleigh, North Carolina and (the real) D.C. more than them politicians right there. 💯👌🏾👌🏾
Man it would be neat if these dudes actually would pay attention to what's happening in the league currently
Right the way gill acted like Ben haven't played in two years
@@firstteamkeem91that’s because Gil like a lot of people only pay attention to what they think is important
@@firstteamkeem91To be fair Ben’s production on the court is not much more than me and I don’t play basketball lmao
Sometimes it feels like a parody of a sport’s argument 😭😭😭
Mccants being on the show is like giannis's brother being on the bucks bench lmao
This a dynamic team these guys can talk and argue basketball
Same thing happened with DRose and Jimmy. DRose was the man, the MVP. After the injuries Jimmy carried the team. When Rose came back, it wasn’t necessarily his team. Jimmy asserted himself as the de facto leader
Shad definitely got CTE during his short stint in the NBA 😂 dude is on one
Kardashians got McQuits shook.
The way Kenyon says
“WHO!?🦉 “ kills me every-time
😂😂 now remember the big media people said it was Philly fault lol and we would regret trading him 😂
Lmao exactly smh it’s unbelievable 😂 of course the media won’t say the sixers and sixer fans were right….😂
McCants is saying this because his teammates treated him like Ben Simmons teammates treated Ben Simmons
"We dont know you"😂😂
Here's the point that's getting missed: Ben Simmons is making $38 million this season and is scheduled to make $40 million next season. Missed the last 24 games of last season plus the first round of the playoffs, where the Nets got swept by the Sixers. Played six of the first seven games this season; hasn't played since November 6th. At the start of the season, he was talking a whole lot about "feeling in the best shape ever" and "can't wait to produce for the team." He supposedly had another procedure in the off-season to fix his ongoing back issues. Now he's out because of his knee...I think. I'm not sure because the reason is constantly changing because he doesn't want to play basketball. He only wants to get paid.
Facts
Rahand speaking his truth. Dude did not get over being pushed out league after a couple years.
It’s like McCants is trying to be wrong 😂
Hell yeah. I used to be annoyed. Shit is hilarious now😂😂😂
He’s right
Y’all followers lol
This man really comparing Khawi and Ben Simmons
Lol homie with the Mario hat got rekt. This gave me a good laugh
McCants keeps the show active, K Mart is Gils echo ...
Dude in the video asking questions high as hell
Rashad was the only one to know he’s hurt and has actually played this year. The rest of the guys still going off the narrative of a year ago. SMH
Facts they don’t even know what’s going on
6 out of 28 games makes him an impactful player?
@@Swaggyp50 is impact purely based off of games played? It doesnt matter the amount of games played if you dont do shit,
" backiotomy i need a couple of weeks"😂😂😂
One of these episodes Kmart and Rashad gon fight lol
Khawi has missed a lot of games but unlike Ben, he's been in the trenches with his team at some points. Khawi actually played playoff games lol
I used to think Rashad was crazy but He is actually genius he found a way to be Gils antagonist and continues to troll us with hot takes to the point he low key a major part of the show
Why everyone hating on Rashad? Yeah a lot of his takes are ridiculous but it's entertainment. It's a game it's just funny to laugh at point at . Anyone taking sports or sports commentators seriously needs to chill out and he's way more likeable than anyone on ESPN or Skip. I just watch to see how tight kmart and gil get at this man lmao
Cuz he keeps talking stupid about kawhi
He be trolling and I can see KMart dont mess with the trolling lol
Mccants is the best/funniest thing about this show. We need a miko reunion episode so they can argue about leadership and fake jordans 😂.
Bro time and time again ends up on the wrong side of easy questions, wtf bruh 😂
Josiah pull that host card at the perfect times 🤣🤣🤣. This show is great man!
Thing is players like Kawhi, or KD, before they got hurt, they were competitors. They played hard, practiced hard, etc. So they get respect for that. Ben Simmons has shown time and time again all he wants is the status. He came back averaging what 6 -7 ppg? vs someone like a KD who had a more severe injury and came back averaging 27.
Every podcast needs a mccants he is the one to cause every disagreement 😂
McCants man 😂😂 “RASHAD, IF I HAVE TWO APPLES…” 🤣💀💀
McCants can’t be that ignorant he trolling with that big cap on 😂
