Nope. "That" back then would not be what "this" energy is, in my opinion. I don't know if he is still a part of what Cam was building, but I don't think Brandon wanted to fully commit to the front of the camera work. He might be behind the camera side of things, and it may be his strength. I thought Arian Foster was going to be a good podcast, but I'm guessing he lost interest or whatnot, just like so many others. It's not as easy as a lot of folks make it look. And if you don't HAVE to do it to eat your next meal, retired players are finding out they can't do the work.
“They playing out of fear and only love can overcome that…” as much as Gil sometime irks me… this right here made me see him in a different light. Respect 🙏🏽
Facts bro! Been a while since I watched the pivot before yesterday. Been on gil even though he be saying some wild shit sometimes. I'm feeling this connection
Gil is a great interview. As someone who loves a good interview, the best ones are those where the interviewer may have questions prepared, but they really listen to the interviewee and piggyback on key things that they may say (that the interviewer didn't know). Also, what really makes the interivew is when the interviewee is very comfortable and real. It's like being in their living room.
That was dudes entire point.he stood on his “yapping” If anybody showed their age it was you 😂😂 old heads love jumping to conclusions why you even here if you don’t like him?
This is real candid conversation, this show is therapy for me. I respect the fact Gil is transparent, kudos to the entire team including the people behind the scenes
Gilbert and more of his bull5hit...using s lot of words to justify is bull5hit...lol..says he isnt bias then gives the REASONS that exokain...bias...lol...hilarious... Paul Georga and Gilbert Arena are examples of basketball,players from the L.A. "area" who arent from LOS ANGELES...the Valley Boy and the boy from Palmdale
You know he going to respond to. Their relationship is funny. When they talking just basketball they are like best friends. But anything else, they like two old uncles going at it
Gil's story and work ethic he spoke on helped pushed me through time in prison. I use to call and litsen to his podcast and early on it was all about pushing yourself to be the best you can be to get your goal's accomplished and continue to work hard if you lack god given talent that others are just blessed with.
7:42 Gil acting like the East wasnt weaker than the West is outrageous and let's not forget what Kobe was going through in 2003,4,5 the league did not want to make him the face. His play forced their hand.
Gil’s Background, Basketball Skill Set, and Knowledge makes Him Soo Unique (even if I don’t personally agree with his Stance) He stands on All 10! GD Episode and I look forward to a Collaboration at some point in the future
Gilbert Arenas averaged 24.2 points, 4.9 assists and 4.8 rebounds in 16 games versus Kobe Bryant in his career. Including a 60 point game vs the Lakers with 21 fts made.
Your including his 1st couple years when he was on the bench barely getting minutes with the warriors. So he really average like 30+ against lakers as a starter
These guys have the perfect energy for this show. None of them were superstars, other than Fred Taylor in my opinion (He was a great running back), so the way they approach the guests is just perfect. I just love the approach. Great show, Ryan, Channing, and Fred. Congrats to all of you!!!!!
RC right about situations getting amped up when you feel like it’s your boy trying you in front of people, fought the dude that’s been my best friend 15+ years back in high school over that
17:34 - 18:18 Gem for those who have athletes who are in normal folks world now middle class and they came from nothing. “ you gotta make them love it,”
because of his (so called) outbursts n hot takes, people forget the basketball mind this dude was.. And they quick to hate, cause thats just the cool thing to do.. From Arizona to the league, Arenas was ahead of his time on so many levels
@@newch1-x8mhe brought guns to protect his teammate who was getting threatened by another teammate… the teammate that was causing all the problems then threatened Gil…. Since clearly you don’t know anything, that said teammate is doing serious time in prison for murdering a mother a few years later. So tell me was he really having an outburst or actually being smart and defending himself from someone who was a legit murder 😂😂😂
Gil just brings that vibe. There is a lot more you can accomplish in life with a Smile and Good attitude than with a frown and a threat. Much respect fellas . Keep doing what you’re doing.💪😎
That was one of the most iconic horrible Gilbert arenas takes of all time😂😂 bro disregards Kobe winning 2 more rings as bron ages into his prime and bron leaving to team up with a top 3 player in the league because he couldn’t win it lol
@@Griswolddj Your ring argument is weak, because Robert Horry has 7. At the end of the day, Kobe was 6-16 vs Lebron. Yes, it's true! What top 3 player did Lebron team up with? Wade? If that's where you're going, Wade was not a top 3 player when Lebron joined. In matter of fact, Wade didn't get past the 2nd round for 5 straight years after winning his 1st with Shaq. He would have never got past the 2nd round again if it wasn't for Lebron.
@@nathane2243 if you wanna put Dwight Howard and rose ahead of wade in 2010 we can say he teamed up with a top 5 player either way he’s never won a ring without handpicked superstar teammates, which is exactly what Kobe did twice after losing shaq and being scrutinized by the entire world. It’s a testament to the difference between the two players and why lebron is still sitting at 4 total rings in an era he was supposed to dominate
@@randybrown5174 They all live in denial. Like Kobe bought his wife that big a*s ring out of generosity. Whether he did what he was accused of or not, he damn sure cheated on his wife.
Gilbert was one of the most exciting players in the mid 2000's. He was my favorite player for a couple years!! He was the best player in the World in my opinion for 2 years straight. Particularly In 2005-06, Arenas averaged 29.3 points per game, which was fourth in the league. That was also the year he scored 60 against Kobe and the Lakers.
He was NEVER "the best player in the world" what do you guys be smoking?! He was a SKILLED greenlight guy on a team with no talent where he didnt play defense...the best players in the "world" at that time were Kobe, Dwayne Wade, Tim Duncan, Shaq, Richard Hamilton etc... Everyone else at that time including Lebron and Gilbert Arena was just guys collecting stats
I feel bad now that for years I really only thought of Gil as “the guy with the gun in the locker room” Then I started watching his podcast and found myself thinking “I need his take on this or that” Great pivot
You really think cause he say stupid shit on a podcast for money you know him? He grew up in cali as a lakers fan you probably from North Dakota and think you a bigger Kobe fan
This Kobe slander is crazy.. he left out the media didn’t like Kobe after the controversy.. don’t leave that out, players back then knew know was the best. They said it . Go back n do ya homework.Let’s not paint narratives n leave stuff out. Not just half truths, when he not here to speak for himself
@ agreed bro we all know the western conference was so much tougher than the east…The Pistons, Heat and Celtics only three eastern teams to win that 00-10 decade
You guys as a teams research on Gilbert was way off because if he wanted to lie to u he probably could've ran with the whole homeless situation. Gilbert's walk and talk mannerisms doesn't speak of a past homeless individual, he has the mannerism of a spoiled child who never wanted for anything. I moved over 30 times in my life so can easily sense the struggles of a person even through their speech, I'm a great listener and extremely aware of my surroundings by default. Gilbert literally told ya'll he was never homeless and throughout the interview certain guys still kept referring to him as being homeless before ??
No he wasn’t… Kobe missed the playoffs after Shaq left… Phil jackson is the only reason Kobe had winning seasons.. without Phil like 2 playoffs… you can’t even name bron’s team!! Bron is the far superior player and his career showed it!! Kobe was considered the worst starter ever his last 3 years in the league
He really thought he was better than he really was. Great player. He wasn't capable of carrying a team. As long as he was scoring he didn't care about nothing else.
Love Gil’s arena. Watch it everyday. I do wish they would squash their beef. Kwame would be a great guest. If they could get along. He played with Micheal, Kobe and Gil. He has a unique perspective.
It's going to happen. It will be a guaranteed splash. Gil has the staff to govern the situation, Kenyon & McCants .... Plus Kenyon & McCants have expressed to Gil on the show that he should mend the fence with Kwame. I'm expecting during off season when things slow down.
Glad to see Gil get love in these comments! Nightcap fanbase got him booted from the show cause they’re haters. Gil is legit! He teaches me a ton about the game! He’s a rising star in nba media
Man when he played for the Wizards he had all the love. But man when he balled in the Barry Frams league folks really love him! Man cooked in lowtops lol
Once again appreciative of this show cause of the conversations. I didnt know what I expected to get out of this episode going it but I definitely learned alot about Gil and his journey that I would have probably never known. I love that final conversation about the lady at the end helping them, sometimes it just takes a kind gesture from sometimes a stranger to change a persons life and situation.
Kobe won back to back Championships but LeBron won back to back MVP's.... THE STUPIDEST BULLSHIT EVER SAID IN BASKETBALL HISTORY!!!! Then proceeds to say he'll take LeBron over Kobe at the playground🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ Never heard so much cap in my life. Sad!!!
Kobe had the better team in that particular comparison and needs much more than Lebron. Lebron can take a below average team and make them contenders. Kobe won't even go to the Playoffs with that same team. Facts!!
@ToasterForLife bullshit, that's a damn lie. Name the players besides Lamar Odom. Kobe was also in the West where 6 teams won 50 plus games compared to 2 in the East. Kobe never had help post Shaq except Pau Gasol. Stop the cap!!!
Its stupid but thats literally (factually) what happened. If Kobe's your guy thats fine, but Kobe's MVP window was likely cut short due to the emergence of Lebron. Its okay bro
7:17 Then people act like LeBron was supposed to beat the Spurs. Only people who dont watch the game and hate on a regular think that. LBJ took that team to the promise land
Grateful as a fan that I got to watch Gil play for my wiz as kid.. even saw him live against Kobe in DC.. Glad Gil got his platform and that he's successful now, just wish he was a lil bit more mature back then and we could've had some playoff success lol..
Everytime I watch this podcast, I know Brandon Marshall sick to his stomach!!! lol😂😂😂

7:57 Kobe was up against far superior competition out west it’s not debatable , no debate in my eyes Kobe is better than y’all king
Facts
Who cares Kobe is a legend
Gil himself used to pick Kobe over LeBron. You can easily Google that. Gil switched up when Rich Paul and Klutch started paying him to prop up LeBron.
Why can't we appreciate both for what they brought to the game?
No he wasn’t… Kobe missed the playoffs after Shaq left… Phil jackson is the only reason Kobe had winning seasons.. without Phil like 2 playoffs… you can’t even name bron’s team!! Bron is the far superior player and his career showed it!! Kobe was considered the worst starter ever his last 3 years in the league
He really thought he was better than he really was. Great player. He wasn't capable of carrying a team. As long as he was scoring he didn't care about nothing else.

@ToasterForLife bullshit, that's a damn lie. Name the players besides Lamar Odom. Kobe was also in the West where 6 teams won 50 plus games compared to 2 in the East. Kobe never had help post Shaq except Pau Gasol. Stop the cap!!!
It's not cap... it's his feelings on the matter.
He doesn't have to agree with you for it to be the truth.
Its stupid but thats literally (factually) what happened. If Kobe's your guy thats fine, but Kobe's MVP window was likely cut short due to the emergence of Lebron. Its okay bro
Bron literally won back to back in Miami 🤦🏽
The fact that he is still wearing Melli's ring is so cute. I love them ❤
7:17 Then people act like LeBron was supposed to beat the Spurs. Only people who dont watch the game and hate on a regular think that. LBJ took that team to the promise land
Facts. He was outmatched in that series. He was only 22 years old
Hell it's a miracle he got to the Finals that year.
True but he also shouldn’t have been in the finals yet he was so he could’ve finished the job
Grateful as a fan that I got to watch Gil play for my wiz as kid.. even saw him live against Kobe in DC.. Glad Gil got his platform and that he's successful now, just wish he was a lil bit more mature back then and we could've had some playoff success lol..
