This is why I like basketball players talking basketball. The more I hear you all talk the more it sounds like working in corporate America. Yeah go ahead and outshine your coworkers. They will start hating and put you on an island. If the manager feels like you are not with his program(bowing down and kissing the ring) even if you are exceeding performance bench marks he will either get rid of you or give you the “difficult to work with” label which stays with you throughout your tenure with the company
S/O my guy & Tar Heel LEGEND Rashad McCants! I remember him getting benched in Minny & I didn’t understand what happened. Good to see him speak his peace.
I really want to hear him go in on Larry Brown and George Karl.....I also wanna hear his real perspective on playing at Carolina. He's one of the few players to appear as if he didn't like his time there.
this is a good interview, and Rashad was a good college player. the career could have went either way… i think these are the new wave of interviews, they have better stories.
Being a hooper from overseas i think that a ton of player here relate to these kind of stories. That’s why any smart player don’t listen to media instead looking to get information from players. There are a lot of things these media outlets don’t tell you cause themselves got relationships to ownership etc. It’s a fucked up game but I love how these former nba players are talking more and more.
This is why I don't pay attention to ESPN or any other nba all-time list , nba players always talk very highly of KOBE , 1-MJ 2-Kobe 3- don't care who you put lol
Rashad McCants still had plenty of basketball left, hate he didn't get to finish out his career, he would've easily averaged 16-18 ppg, he was an AGGRESSIVE 2 Guard ALWAYS READY FOR A CHALLENGE, HE HAD THAT DOG 😡 IN EM.
Super foul...but how the game goes...people never get to hear how much these positions guys are in is not about talent, but being "allowed" to display their talent. There is a world where Curry is coming off someone's bench or out of the league if he didn't have a coach that believed early.
When he was talking about the Olympics… hes on the bubble with game winners… they aren’t the 1v1 take you on type or offensive juggernauts like gil kobe and wade but you still need role players in international play!!! So kirk and Bruce Bowen makes sense if you not really gonna be here gil lol 😆
My man's started speaking truth on the Kardashians and how celeb status could get u big contacts and playing time *cough* Russel Wilson* and gil just deflects it... Why ask the question if y'all didn't rehearse the response? If y'all scared to touch on those subjects don't bring em up
I always thought what happened to Rashard McCants he was a good player nice size height I thought he was just another guy like his team mate Sean May he just wasn't made for the league not good enuff. Then when he said he avg'd 15 a game I said wait a minute I verified that he did and it was in his contract year there are Hall if Famers that avg'd 13-16 ppg so that's not bad for a kid on his rookie deal and on a team with talent so idk what happened
IM sure this the first time many of us even knowing HE fuked with a Kardasian It is The case of someone who think and thought they were and are bigger than what they actually was and is YOU talking about her now for what reason so who using who name now
@@ericae6611 YEA I never said I didn’t know of anyone though I said never knew lil dude fuked with a Kardashian and why HE bringing her up to drag her after all these years so not understanding your point and it’s more than one person on this show incase you didn’t notice and still not understanding ya point or what you meaning in response to what I said it’s like you may not have understood what I said or You didn’t hear the part of the show I commented on still Thanks for the reply and being ALL up on MY DI, I mean comment and YOU are more than Welcome to STAY ON IT or keep it in ya mouth respectfully saying
Gilbert Arenas has a chip on his shoulder for some reason idk what the league did… also he says a lotta off the wall philosophical theoretical sh* t hw said "yeah they dont think a scorer is smart enuff to dial his game down There have literally been many scorers that sacrificed their shots and points for a fellow star DrJ did it for Moses in Philly Larry did it for DJ when he came to Bosotn they won 2 chips and went to four Zeke did it for Joe Dumars AD and Vinnie I could go on Paul Pierce Ray and KG all won chips so he is telling a personal experience and these things are prob the reason he has that chip…
This McCants dude all I hear is a bunch of excuses. I feel like Gil's couch is where guys go who want to point the finger at the media and don't want to take any accountability for there own mistakes and actions

Mic drop!!!!!!!
This is why it’s so important to understand the 48 laws of power.
Law 1: Never outshine the master
Law 46: Never appear too perfect
One thing that makes this pod great is how much they translate basketball to real life
29:24 is the BIRTH of Gils Arena as we know it!!!💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
I love how he referenced the Get Out movie 😂😂
S/O my guy & Tar Heel LEGEND Rashad McCants! I remember him getting benched in Minny & I didn’t understand what happened. Good to see him speak his peace.
FANTASTIC interview!!! I loved Shad's energy and his chemistry with Gil was amazing! Would DEFINITELY love to see him back on the podcast!!!
I really want to hear him go in on Larry Brown and George Karl.....I also wanna hear his real perspective on playing at Carolina. He's one of the few players to appear as if he didn't like his time there.
Gills arean
We need a part 3 and 4
Yeah. I want player explanations prioritized before old media💯
This convo was so needed cause we the fans, love this. So now we understand.
Thanks for the timestamps.
Top 5 episode hands down
This is a very good interview to help you understand the dynamics at play
this is a good interview, and Rashad was a good college player. the career could have went either way… i think these are the new wave of interviews, they have better stories.
Yo Gil,
Ya’ll should put just a few foam pads on the wall. Ya’ll got a gnarly reverb in the room going on.
@33:37 Gilbert talking about Shaq
Of course he talking about Shaq.
There's a typo in the description. "Basketnall"
What about what happened in college with them grades
28:03 Gilbert must be talking about Kwame Brown (without mentioning his name)
This room has a fat ECHO

Take that you bully picking on Kobe all these years shaq.. give bean his credit and rightful spot in the top 4 Greatest players All Time Period
This is why I don't pay attention to ESPN or any other nba all-time list , nba players always talk very highly of KOBE ,
1-MJ
2-Kobe
3- don't care who you put lol
They have nothing but respect for Kobe, all of them, even the O.G.s like Bird…
Rashad McCants still had plenty of basketball left, hate he didn't get to finish out his career, he would've easily averaged 16-18 ppg, he was an AGGRESSIVE 2 Guard ALWAYS READY FOR A CHALLENGE, HE HAD THAT DOG 😡 IN EM.
He was good but apparently stubborn and always butting heads.
K Mart said as much
Respect the mentality 👏
Bullshit why does everyone think that girl gave Odom his first pipe? 🤦🏾♂️
@30:11 Is exactly how the majority of the world views it. I know he already knows that but damn somebody had to say it! 💯💯
I did wonder why McCants wasn’t getting any time in Minnesota. Now we know why.
I would have ate that up and balled out got a ring with Kevin on God 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 when the hate came!
Her name is miko grimes her husband is Brent grimes the ex corner from the Miami dolphins
The refs wow
"You going give me some calls"
Love the talk but it seems like some guys can’t ‘read the room’ at times. 😂😂😂😂
Damn started off hot lol
37:08 🤝
The Kardashians show depicts them as caring , family oriented people, give to charity etc...
And it’s all fake
🤔McCants Has Jamie Foxx Energy!!!…
Super foul...but how the game goes...people never get to hear how much these positions guys are in is not about talent, but being "allowed" to display their talent. There is a world where Curry is coming off someone's bench or out of the league if he didn't have a coach that believed early.
That jacket tho......
How did dis nigga get so smart? lol
Basketnall🤣🤣
Funny he saying the Kardashians fucked his career up but reggie bush career continued after kim Kardashian... shit he even won a super bowl after kim
When he was talking about the Olympics… hes on the bubble with game winners… they aren’t the 1v1 take you on type or offensive juggernauts like gil kobe and wade but you still need role players in international play!!! So kirk and Bruce Bowen makes sense if you not really gonna be here gil lol 😆
Kirk never makes sense, ever.

We about to miss JR was smashing Rhianna!!!!
Gilbert Advertising Arenas
IM sure this the first time many of us even knowing HE fuked with a Kardasian It is The case of someone who think and thought they were and are bigger than what they actually was and is YOU talking about her now for what reason so who using who name now
But here you are watching the interview. So you must know who he is on his own or you're a weirdo

Such as?
Get the media’s dick out your mouth, this is a player’s podcast…meaning they actually put in work instead of just talk & make narratives
Facts he was not that good outside of college he jacked up a lot of shots,never passed,I use to love to watch mc cants play at UNC
When McCants starts a sentence with maybe I should’ve, that’s taking accountability.
Dude is blaming his low field goal percantage on a kardashian.smh just admit you didn’t play well
He was still putting up numbers, getting better every season. What he’s saying is definitely plausible…
He still seems a lil salty that LO ended up with Khloe....
Rashad kardasian story is funny. You just wasn’t good enough to have outside noise bruh. I didn’t know who u are til now
You gotta be a kid lol he was well known from his college days
@@freddycalipari4242 folks just love telling on themselves.
Nobody cared about Rashad dating Kloe.
McCants ain't him
Nobody knows this mug with a crown.
None knowledgeable basketball people don't.
Alright pops
