Nah kenyon killed me at the start 😭😭 “and sometime same team” hes becoming my fav on the show
😂😂
even the captions cant make heads or tails of what Kenyon be saying ..."wahchu talmkinboot"
Kenyon Martin be talking like boomhauer from king of the hill😭😭
The man has a speech impediment
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And you always knew what boomhauer was saying or trying to say
Dangoman talkin bout high horse man. Yup.
haha hell yea man dang ole boomhower man shit
Y’al bugging. You always play against your friend harder. You more physical. Damn near almost fighting. You trying to kill your friend. And best friends after the game…
This conversation isn't just about today's era. They weren't clothes lining friends in the 80's.
@@penkima4923 They could be... At the time, we didn't have the same transparency that we do now.
@@KDR95 No, they couldn't be. Friends don't clothes line friends. Transparency or not.
@penkima4923 right, you play hard but you not try again hurt your boy.
They shouldn’t have been trying to hurt players in the 80’s anyway. That was bush league, and hurting another player isn’t a skill, it’s actually the opposite!
don’t forget lebron averaged 37 PPG against McCants
On time
Don't forget how gay you are
Don’t forget you never made it on your high school team
This guy😂
@@Haddonfield63 dont forget u got mccants meat in yo mouth
Gil was talking about Bron at the end... out of 400-500 players in league he got 273 handshakes and remembers them ALL 😂
Disgusting bruh smh
@@smokeabaguhthat5443not really and he wasn’t talking about Bron because Bron played with damn near everyone so of course he will have handshakes it’s these new guys doing it too
You are all speaking from a player point of view but on the topic of a fan I get that you know better but you're saying the audiences opinion of entertainment doesn't matter.
😂😂😂😂
@@tylersuggs11 I was referencing to the part when he said a guy that can remember that many handshakes, remembers plays and all you already lost... that's LeBron... he's been known to tell guys where they are supposed to be at on the opposing team.
rashad mccants is the only nba player with CTE
Lmfaoaoaoaoaoa I swear🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ron Artest obliterated James Hardens skull, that elbow hit definitely gave Harden a future with CTE
Nah, he was just born with a smooth brain.
HAHA
😂😂😂
Gil had it right in the beginning, the only real difference is social media nowadays. We have so much more access now. So we pretty much know who every player is cool with, who they grew up with, who they went on vacation with, who they working out with in the summer, etc. If social media existed back then we would've saw the same thing we're seeing now. Everybody been cool with each other. It's not a big deal. Guys are still balling hard out there. Ant talking crazy shit to KD on the court and giving him buckets, but post game he give him his flowers and show love. That's how it's supposed to be, and that's how it's always been, we just didn't see all the behind the scene stuff like we can nowadays.
not necessarily there were a lot of rivalries.... to the point they not cool in 2024. And teams had secret workouts, they did not share.
@@mrblend2+ things can be true at the same time.
You are incredible, don't stop creating videos!

We learned at the park this ain't personal. Never in my life have I taken off on a friend family, nobody.. I'm on 10 100% of the time. My goal is to humiliate who ever in front of me. PERIOD!!!
of course mccants knows all about doing what it takes to win in the NBA. said no one ever.
Unlike you and me, he knows what it takes to win in college and make it to the NBA.
I can take it back old school. Magic and Isaiah were friends for a very long time until they met in the finals. Both teams had to question their commitment to winning over friendship, so both players did what they had to do to win.
They WERE BEST FRIENDS UNTIL ZEKE SAID MAGIC GOT THE SHIT FROM SLEEPING WITH MEN NOT THE FINALS MY GUY
@@704jizzle2 that was after the finals. When Magic knock down Zeke driving in the lane, Zeke got up pissed off and wanted to fight Magic.
@@jaysmith3257it's funny when old dudes say the players back in the day didn't want to be each other's friends
@@malikwilson7387 because players back cared about winning over being friends.
@@jaysmith3257 not true Reggie Miller idolized Michael Jordan and Jordan almost teamed up with Patrick Ewing in 1995
The GOAT was friends with all the guys on the space Jam set and still killed them each night 72 - 10, plus 4th championship
The friendship pushed the games. Dudes would work out together off season if they hated each other. The DIFFERENCE is we see it now like cut it out. We hear the stories of dudes on vacation with guys from other teams .Shit online gaming changed it too
Think Giannis the only one that doesn’t hangout with his opponents. I think he said something about not wanting to train or workout with other opponents because he didn’t want any of them to get a edge on him. Bruh got the 80/90s mentality.
@@Jumpman-kb2pywell it ain’t working for him he might as well work out with somebody else
20:16 when we had prime Wade, Bosh, Lebron & Melo all in one conference along with a young D. Rose & PG all on DIFFERENT TEAMS, we got the top 3 talents in the conference teaming up & overmatching their conference competition… we COULDVE had 6 legit contenders in one conference but we got the Heatles 😐
Still one of the best rosters.
@@GIO77ification the Heatles consisted of 2 of the top 3 players in their prime on the same roster with another top 15 player in his prime.. the Knicks, Pacers & Bulls did not have enough to compete with that.. they should’ve have won at least 3
@@StuntmanBeatz313 Chris Bosh was not a top 15 player in the nba before the heat or during. The top 15 nba players are all nba players. He was not that.
That "not like us" shirt hard!!!
Kmart was a beast button…
K Mart talks like he played a contact sport goddamn
There is plenty of contact in basketball. Most injuries happen due to contact.
That's because he use to have a speech problem and he's trying not to stutter 😂 ain't one point he couldn't say two words without a stutter real talk..
I play so much harder against my friends. I try my best to embarrass them. I’m trying to get the win so I can trash talk all I want until we play again.
Different situation. U ain’t playing for millions and u ain’t hindering them from reaching play offs etc. Literally not even what they talking bout
McCants tried to diss LeBron, then Gil turned his whole point against him
Gilbert saying show me but prime example in my head is Bron and cp3 in that Houston and lakers scuffle. You got a team. You stick to that team in those moments. Buddy buddy shit showed clearly walking down the court making sure his friend is okay
Moving goal post , they talking play on the court not a scuffle
Dawg could you even imagine Mike, Charles and Pat all on the same team. That would have been NAAAAAAAAAASTY work.
You always surprise us!
Kobe picked up lebron and Dwade for one fucking trip and people swear he a better competitor. The shit is dumb. Lebron averaged 29 on kobe.
Go off your feelings
@@SCOOBYGDit’s not about feelings it’s about facts. Bron got his team to the finals at 22. He would’ve been great either or without Kobe, and also with or without the heat. Bron was destined for greatness since day 1.
Bro chill! Kobe is the ultimate competitor
When guarded by kobe 37% tf lol chill buckets came off pick and rolls and other defenders was not watching them games
Your insecurity is the most obvious hint that you’re a lebron fan
Lmao @ "sometime the same team" & "friendly fire"
That one dude hate so much it’s “Nasty work”
11:45 “Getting his ass cracked” is insane
You’re time stamp is wrong
"He ain't gone euro him" is hilarious, its a verb ima put in my virbiage for now on lol
29:53 ppl saw Steven Adams give up rebounds for him to collect.. that did happen
No he didn't. Russ jumps higher n beat him to it
Man it’s the RULES… They tryna to defend but boys Really Skilled and have the RULES on Their Side
I’m playing harder against my friends than anybody it’s not personal but when the ball go up it’s a line drawn in between the sand and u know if we ain’t on the same team you gone get it
No disrespect, but Kenyon doesn’t really have the validation to discuss about offensive evolution. Mainly bc when he faced ball handlers like luka , shai, that’s why Gilbert always contends it . Scorers pace themselves. There’s a reason why top scorers don’t say this …
Do you and the internet have the validation over him? 👀
@@everlastingomni1737hell yea he do. I do to. You do too…. Lmao i fw yall😂
@@Zeke47 😂😂
Bro how is any of this different from when Barkley, Jordan and other players use to play golf or gamble together all the time?
@19:28
Larry and Magic. End of that debate.
Rashad thought he was throwing shade at Lebron's handshake and it back fired on his ass :D
Bro the shit McCants is doing is getting old. I'm tired of it. He is going to kill his career the same way Skip killed his.
Skip had 30 plus years in the game.
Wtf r you? Just because u don't agree u think he supposed to stop and change his opinion? Man get out of here
@@SCOOBYGDfr like bro was doing the same thing for 30 years
Clowns gonna take the clown paycheck, while Gil has a brand name.
#mcCANT
Why are you watching,silly little boy
I enjoyed watching this, contrary to the popular negative comments, I wish them the best
kenyan sayin offline kept throwing me off bro meant online😂😂
16:25 reminds me of the D-Lo & KAT experiment
McCants eats corn the Long way
You sound hard ,silly little jealous yank
@GilsArena Yo yo what time is the watch party supposed to start again 1:00 pm western time right? I kept checking all day yesterday to make sure I didn’t miss it cause those tailgates are pretty fire
Gil look like he a flashback at the end when he started talking about Chuck
This argument on intensity is not accurate. So when Kobe was scoring 50 every night does that mean the players of Gilbert's & Kenyon's era wasn't playing hard? Also, Bron played in that era he still not averaging significantly more than he did in both eras. Also, if they were too friendly, why don't they average 50 when playing against their friends. Why is it that they are scoring within their averages?
Kobe did not score 50 every night . Luka DONCIC is scoring more than Kobe Bryant in a Season
17:54 they getting sick of Gil glazing bron 😂
Aint no party like a diddy party!!
What is Mccants talking playoffs for?😂😂😂
1:30 lmao king of the hill a** ninja
McCants not lying lol he not gon choke bron or Klay like he did Rudy
Love the way they gave Westbrook his flowers much respect, people was definitely trying to kill his legacy for the way he played even though he was just playing hard and wanted it more than everyone else.
" and sometimes the same team" 🤣🤣🤣
That photo is a pause 😂
Nah what they talking about is across the league for instance starting guards being scared to guard and asking for assignment switches because they lack the heart and defense to want to play regardless of getting that ass busy. Worried more about how they look on tv than going out and tapping in whatever skillset they’re blessed with! 😮💨😮💨🫡🫡
Ima let u cook, u gonna let me cook, n we both gonna get the bag.... thats they mind set basically.
What do they mean by not killing each other? You can see in championships by year. It`s already 7 years since a team won a back-to-back championship. It means a team now a days is way more competitive.
No just means the league change the rules
29:27 The same shit you say Jokic do & he winning championships with no all stars
Dr. J used to invite opponents to his mansions or parties when they came to town. Then abuse them later.
KD included he was smiling on the court after being swept by ant ed
Exactly why AI and Russell Westbrook are my 2 favorite players ever. You can NEVER question their effort. Were they perfect players? No. But I'd say name me a perfect player? Not everyone will win. To me as long as the effort and competitiveness is never questioned I'd accept the outcome of the career.
McCants n Kwame need a podcast together we the biggest LBJ haters
McCants' takes be having me scratching my head. I doubt that he's that slow. I think he's just playing a role, like Skip. SMH
That pic say ain't no party like a Diddy party 😂😂😅😅😢😢
Who would have guessed it, LeBron would be the first or second thing out of RM here and nothing about Klay. I’m more surprised he mentioned Euro league first here 😂
Draymond lookin like he in the 4th quarter
Look up Dexter Pittman and Lance Stevenson on here thats going at your neck 😂
McCants always being a groupie Kobe. Not everything about Kobe.
Kobe the goat, keep hating
@@daboyy6537MJ
@@daboyy6537sure Blud
It’s opposite, I always had extra motivation going against someone I knew well
I agree with McCants takes
All this “running through his chest” is mamba mentality. If you know, you know.
*Gil the difference is these kids in the NBA known each other since 13*
This kids will not run through someone's chest like Kobe did Gasol in the olympics.
Very few in this Generation will do that.
Its not fake Gil.. we ALL seen 3 guys from the same draft team up in their prime.. instead of going at each other, they teamed up and bullied everyone in the conference from 2011-2014...
I wanna see draymond green put Klay in a headlock like Gobert
Gil be glazing Bron but boyyyyy Mccants be hating like a mf. It’s a funny ass dynamic … look at Rashad at 17:52😂
This makes no sense because for sure I know when I played against my friend I definitely wanted to win even more … and I think they got it mixed up from being friends and not liking each other. Of course if you don’t like somebody, you’re going to go at them a different way than when you do, but for sure you want to win against your friend braggin rights
He says show me in the league where ppl being friendly then uses butler as an example lmao you know he plays old school so it's def not happening with him but it does with bron.
who is Bron letting just score because he's "being friendly"
Why is Mccants always on hater time. Discredits other players but talks highly of himself
Nope! Carmelo wouldn’t drive on lebron! He would just face up a jumper. But when battier on him, he drives . Lebron would attack melo. I argued this heavy back then and ppl would say it’s smart on melo. Smart how?? He’s missing!!! Melo refused to give lebron his arsenal.
That's a lie. Carmelo has driven by lebron plenty of times. There's a highlight of Melo hitting lebron with a spin move and everything
@@dionpace22
These dudes are burnt out.
Nah Lebron barely guarded Melo it was always the other forward like Shane Battier guarding Melo.
Or he know which dude could foul without getting called. What's it like to be smarter than a dude that sleeps and still wins over you?
@@grvmbinoscott7163that’s common sense why tf would I guard Melo knowing I can’t and he gon serve me . Let somebody else guard em and yall help he is Lebron and have to be Lebron on offense too
Draymond gotta kick Klay in the nuts to prove he’s not being biased
real shit on the westbrook topic
Hands down Kenyans funniest take
I don't think anyone on the show is from Kenya.
@@DESOUSAB you’re so smart and funny. Good job being you.
Since i cant say ninjaaa. Lol
The difference is. I as a nobody but a fan feel they compete but don't try to embarass each other like jordan and kobe would.
Kobe and Gasol 2012 Olympics
2008
@@M360-w6o You’re right, I should’ve double checked
Kobe was hated & his peers wanted to compete against, not play with in. So when u see them give kobe his respect they aint faking it. They held it back for years. Is the real goat of his generation
Rashad right again
IMO IT KILLS THE COMPETIVENESS A BIT. NO REAL HATRED OR RIVALRIES
Draymond’s comment was directed to the fans not the pros.
Gil wants examples of lack of competition…. Kobe vs Lebron in the All-Star game or look at the lack of stars guarding one another.
other than an all star game please
lol this how you know yall don’t be having shit to back up the hating yall do the alll star really ?
I always felt like saying they too friendly cause they don’t want the young rich black men to be cool and build off the court
A total of 4 allstar appearances on that couch & a hater
Gil in Brandon drip🔥🔥🔥🔥 pause🥸💀🤡
I watched every bron and Kobe game … Kobe didn’t try in half of them. Based on scheduling, not effort
🧢
@@3goldentruth510yeah saying Kobe didn’t try when he faced lebron is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard
@@raymondsims7042 especially when u claim to watch all the games ....to say aga8nst another star kobe ain't try period is wild
K Mart the homie that scares the women away at the function.
People's imagine is a brand now is the difference. They want to win but not ruin there brand while doing. Beat you but not too badly attitude
19:40 Melo didn’t have a chance when he came to the East & had to face the HEATLES.. a team up Melo chose NOT to be apart of..
It's just something that old heads made up to discredit this era.... Giannis, Ant, Bron, Luka, Steph, Jimmy, Jokic, Harden, Kyrie, Donovan Mitchell etc are friendly and some of them workout together but they go at it when they play but old heads HAVE to call them soft because they think ppl are going to forget their era...
What else is Draymond suppose to say?
nah whenever my homie or AAU teammates was on the other team in school ball im going off so i can have bragging rights. that simple. we competitors so i hope he does the same. leave it on the court and we gravy off court
Why is Gilbert using STATS for this conversation?
just to show guys dont take it easy on each other because they are friends
When they talking these big numbers like 35 or 43 on your friend, that means you ain't playing hard enough. You gotta hold your friend to 34% shooting and have him under his average lol but seriously it looks like I'm a let you get yours and you let me get mine
no watch party???
People don’t realize it but they seem to want the entertainment of pro wrestling in their sport. They want the illusion of guys being enemies, beefing, conflict, etc…
