@@paulmwoodard904 definitely only a 3 inch difference. Gil never played D his whole career. While he is a walking bucket and one of my favorite players in that era, Zeke different offensively AND defensively
It blows my mind at how unknowledgeable we are of history. That players in the 50's and 60's were mail men is a myth. And Al Harrington holding a candle to Bob McAdoo is delusional. McAdoo avg 30, 3 years in a row, avg 26 when Magic came in the league. Avg 25 and 9 per 36 min. with Magic. Al never avg that per 36 and barely cracked 20. So stop!

This segment was kind of pointless, they don’t think anybody can beat them and they should feel that way. But those were bad matchups, should have matched AL with more physical dudes and Gil with more 2 guards.

Stockton was far and away the better total player. In a 1v1, where scoring matters most, I'll give Gil his due. That is the only game mode he even sniffs Stockton though.
I hate how the old guys get disrespected nobody brings up how those guys DIDNT have anything to pattern their game after they were innovators and laid the foundation for the future players to build on what they seen from them
It’s goes both ways both the old and new generation disrespects each other especially Charles Barkley, kg, shaq, etc they always crapping on the young players
@@nmbmemphisbeast3690 no correction…. It was ILLEGAL to palm the ball back then…. If you palmed the ball the ref blew the whistle turnovers…. So that’s why those guys dribbled like that and it wasn’t a 3 point line so they didn’t shoot 3s it wasn’t good logic
He was drafted straight out of highschool and played 16 years in the league and took his money and started one of the premier cannabis companies what's so wrong with legend... it's less than 100,000 men who ever played in the nba in 75 years ... so put some respect on his name u probably never made junior varsity
I would take Stockton in the head to head vs Arenas and ALSO career vs career. If there were a draft right now with both players in their respective primes, I would pick Stockton over Arenas. Arenas played an older Stockton who was in his last 2 years before retierment. He would've been handled by a prime Stockton.

Harrington. I just don’t get it. How is “I was a pretty okay player in the nba” mean “I could go toe to toe with an nba legend” like what counts as good to people nowadays.
Al Harrington could not hang with 93% of the names he mentioned. Homie said he just about equal to Big Game James Worthy (3x Champion, Finals MVP). I want some of what they cooking up over there at Viola.

Al really that Fantasy cheese tho, always considered "cheap" on fantasy and he gon get you a ton of buckets. Reaaaaaaaaal buckets. Warriors/Knicks days? hooooooweee
Al is getting his ass busted by Bob McAdoo. He’d score but my moneys on Bob’s defense over AL Harrington. I’m old enough to have seen my man get tore up in the NBA by much less than a 2x Champ, 5x all star in McAdoo. Do not get me started on Big Game James. This was mad funny though! 🤣
Shooting touch can translate very well into any era, and that's McAdoo's best talent. He has enough of a handle to get by and an excellent post-up game. Al's getting cooked. There's a few undersized forwards and there he has chances, but those guys also happen to be prolific scorers.
@@conanbdetective I just looked it up, after his rookie year Bob McAdoo never averaged less than 20 pts a game for 11 seasons. He avg’d 30 for 3 seasons straight (all scoring champs). This was one of the funniest “no the hell you wouldn’t” moments of the year. I’ve seen Al getter worked by Kurt Thomas (no disrespect) but HELL NO
It's hard to compare different eras. Like you have to take into account 90's rules, physicality of the game, teams systems. I never saw anyone destroy Stockton or Payton in their heyday, but Gil was a helluva a player in his prime so I can give home the benefit of the doubt. All due respect to Big Al but I don't remember him as a premier scoring option, moreso defence if anything. Would've liked his take on prime Mailman or Nique or Barkley
I really dont understand the disrespect to previous eras. The eras are all interwoven. Bi11 Russell came in the year after Mikan retired, Kareem came in the year after Russell retired, MJ's first championship was 2 years after Kareem retired, and then MJ retired the year before LeBron's rookie year
Its not disrespect, the average nba player today is exponentially more skilled than even the the above average players from pre-1995. Larry Bird is a legend and one of the best players of all time, BUT the people that consider him one of the best 3pt shooters of all time are crazy when you consider his best season he shot 42% on 1.7 attempts per game, yet Davis Bertans shot 42% on 8 attempts per game in 2019-2020 and no1 considers him "one of the best 3pt shooters of all time"
@@EvanD9590 jesus man, if Bertans played in the 80s he wouldn't be getting 8 3s a game that's the fucking point. They look at each guys' game by actually watching him and jidgijg hos skill level and how he impacted the game when he played and therefor they know he was one of the best shooters ever coz he could shoot contest over people off the dribble and had great percentages. If you can't understand the fact that they ain't gonna shoot 30 3s a game in 1985 then you are the one who knows little about baskebtall. Same logic would mean that Bot Petit and Jerry Lucas are better rebounders than Ben Wallace and Duncan coz they averaged in their years more rebounds per game than those last 2... except people who actually think baskebtall know the context of both situations
Gil got me questioning my memory when he talks, cos he had a 3 year run of being really good and almost cracking the top 10 players in the league.. Almost.... Dude talks like he was an All NBA first team, MVP candidate type. No bro, you were knocking on the door of the Kobes, AIs, TMac's, KG's but ended up being more of a Ben Gordon, Jalen Rose, Monta Ellis type player... And that Viola must be the BOMB cos Al Harrington didnt even make an all star team
@@nmbmemphisbeast3690 Probably was borderline top 10 from 2005-2007. But he played no defense and was not a very good playmaker. If his shot was off and the other team had a good rim protector which made it had for him to bait for fouls (he was almost Harden-esque in his era), he would almost be a liability to his team. Cause he was not the type of player to control the tempo and pace of a game with his passing and distribution and was as bad a defender as Steve Nash.
@@OmegaSupreme1 in 05-07, nobody in their right mind would take Gil over TD KG Dirk Bron Wade Ai Nash Howard Melo Kobe Vince Tmac He’s on that same level with Chauncey and Yao. Gil is one of my favorite players from that era besides Wade, but he be talking like he was on Wade and Ai level. Gil was the Bradley Beal of his era. He could light anybody up but didn’t translate to winning basketball.
@@OmegaSupreme1 he didnt change sh.t.... he was a one season wonder that talks like him and Kobe were equals... He had a good 3 year run that equates to one 2nd round exit and 2 first round exits. But he talks smack about John Stockton? He thinks him and AI are close? he laughs at Bob Cousy? Something tells me you only know players based off their NBA 2K MyTeam galaxy opal settings.
Al a straight bucket man y’all don’t know the game 😂😂😂 you got to play a role that don’t mean he wasn’t capable of destroying them old ass players 😂😂😂 you ever seen Al in the summer? His whole package elite af lol
Gilbert, 'Yeah I will handle Stockton and score 27 on his ass'. While Stockton in his prime goes 10 for 14 and scores 25, while dishing 15 assists, and Stockton's Jazz win by 20 plus points. The disrepect he gave Stockton ain't even funny.
@@gc4479 Plus, Stockton would not pullout his gun in the locker room and be a total distraction. I'll take Stockton's HOF 20 year career over Arenas anyday.
That was his rookie year, go look at the next szn, 27 to Stocks 11, 34 to Stocks 7, as he said “my rookie year I was scared, after that, it was all downhill” 😂
No way will Harrington bust Mcadoo's ass. He was 6'9 and built, very good technique. I would legit give Bob the upper hand. Plus the question with Cousy is just stupid. So Arenas will have the same advantages with training, shoes and PEDs, but Cousy will still be wearing the same shoes with the same strict dribble and carry rules they had in that era. Bob was 6'1, but had pretty long arms and huge hands.
Bob killing AL. People forget that Bob was like a older version of KD. You could not stop that man from scoring. I'm saying if this man was giving Kareem, Gilmore, Reed, etc buckets he smoking Al. I'm form IN Al is a terrible defender. Lol offense was coo.
Nostalgic Bliss I don’t have to, off course he looks decent in comparison to players of his era & probably was heavier once he got older but the dude wasn’t near Al’s weight or physic. Al was definitely stronger than him, you could clearly see the dude lifted no weights, which is on par for the era. McAdoo was great for his time, a pioneer of the bigs who could shoot. But one on one he’s not messing with any above average player, his height from the modern era.
Stockton was not a great defender he played the passing lanes well people seem to confuse his steal record with elite defense….as far as 1 on 1 goes you are talking about one of the most gifted scorers ever to play the game in Arenas he would bust john Stockton ass! Would not be a close matchup at all

The thing is with the old players is they haven't seen the moves/ skillsets of the current guys they couldn't fathom a mf pulling up from 40 and that's a real good shot
@@Pltr03 I know that part I'm just pointing out facts gp, mj, and mugsy were like the only guards picking you up full court back then, try not doing that to Dame, steph, or Trae that's a automatic 3 points
The thing is with these young player is...the older players used to guard you for 94 feet...So aint no pulling up from 40 feet. There is a hand on their side and they turning side to side the whole time bringing the ball up court. Go watch the old games, none of that waiting until they get to the 3 pt line to start playing defense
Could have come up with different players and plus hand checking did work. It depended on the player. If someone fast and strong their all up on u with that hand check.
this is great and fun but I think the guys are delusional. Arenas saying he busted GP, Stockton, yeah when they were like 37 at their last season. Al Doesn't have defense or Arenas. Its supposed to be 1on1 in the playground not 1on1 running the transition Gil.

This segment was kind of pointless, they don’t think anybody can beat them and they should feel that way. But those were bad matchups, should have matched AL with more physical dudes and Gil with more 2 guards.
That’s what I was thinking. Folks probably think Al being cocky by his reactions but his were the same as mine 😂 None of them dudes was mobile or big enough to guard him. Mikan? Reed? 🤦🏾♂️ The Gil ones were actually pretty good but I wish they went with all scoring guards.
These guys really underestimate basketball IQ . It's not always athleticism luka today is a prime example 🤭
You’re saying underestimate as tho these guys weren’t solid pros 😂😂

ARENAS - 16 PPG / 5,3 ASS / 48%FG / 1 STEALS / 0,4 BLK / 4fouls / 2,6 TO
You live up to your name. Good stuff.
Stockton was far and away the better total player. In a 1v1, where scoring matters most, I'll give Gil his due. That is the only game mode he even sniffs Stockton though.
I hate how the old guys get disrespected nobody brings up how those guys DIDNT have anything to pattern their game after they were innovators and laid the foundation for the future players to build on what they seen from them
Fair but like the game and athletes have evolved so much those older guys usually would not hold a candle to today’s players the game evolves
One look at their highlights makes you appreciate the WNBA.
You know your innovative brothers at one point didn't dribble the ball then they couldn't lay up or dunk then they couldn't shoot
It’s goes both ways both the old and new generation disrespects each other especially Charles Barkley, kg, shaq, etc they always crapping on the young players
@@nmbmemphisbeast3690 no correction…. It was ILLEGAL to palm the ball back then…. If you palmed the ball the ref blew the whistle turnovers…. So that’s why those guys dribbled like that and it wasn’t a 3 point line so they didn’t shoot 3s it wasn’t good logic

@@Bruce-Kent So Bob Cousy would be Alex Caruso lol
I would take Stockton in the head to head vs Arenas and ALSO career vs career. If there were a draft right now with both players in their respective primes, I would pick Stockton over Arenas. Arenas played an older Stockton who was in his last 2 years before retierment. He would've been handled by a prime Stockton. (see stat comparison on read more)
Head to head:
Record: Stockton wins 5-2
Stockton: PPG 12.1 RPG 1.9 APG 8.7 SPG 1.7 MPG 28.9
Arenas: PPG 16.0 RPG 3.1 APG 5.3 SPG 1.0 MPG 30.6
Career averages:

Arenas: FG 42.1% 3P% .351 FT% 80.3 FGA 16 PPG 20.7 APG 5.3 STL 1.6

@@darrelljones3965 idk what’s wrong with these cats. I mean all stars in their own rights, but man - like we ain’t got the tape 😂!
Shooting touch can translate very well into any era, and that's McAdoo's best talent. He has enough of a handle to get by and an excellent post-up game. Al's getting cooked. There's a few undersized forwards and there he has chances, but those guys also happen to be prolific scorers.
@@conanbdetective I just looked it up, after his rookie year Bob McAdoo never averaged less than 20 pts a game for 11 seasons. He avg’d 30 for 3 seasons straight (all scoring champs).

He said “I saw him get trashed by a lot worse than James worthy”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Make this segment a staple for every show
Great segment
It's hard to compare different eras. Like you have to take into account 90's rules, physicality of the game, teams systems.
I never saw anyone destroy Stockton or Payton in their heyday, but Gil was a helluva a player in his prime so I can give home the benefit of the doubt. All due respect to Big Al but I don't remember him as a premier scoring option, moreso defence if anything. Would've liked his take on prime Mailman or Nique or Barkley
Prime Stockton in a 5 on 5 game against Gilbert, and its a one way beating.... Gilbert is getting cooked.
@@therealdonaldtrump1646 Thank you!!

I really dont understand the disrespect to previous eras. The eras are all interwoven. Bi11 Russell came in the year after Mikan retired, Kareem came in the year after Russell retired, MJ's first championship was 2 years after Kareem retired, and then MJ retired the year before LeBron's rookie year
Nobody cares stop crying
Old era always disrespects the modern era, they’re getting their own medicine
Its not disrespect, the average nba player today is exponentially more skilled than even the the above average players from pre-1995. Larry Bird is a legend and one of the best players of all time, BUT the people that consider him one of the best 3pt shooters of all time are crazy when you consider his best season he shot 42% on 1.7 attempts per game, yet Davis Bertans shot 42% on 8 attempts per game in 2019-2020 and no1 considers him "one of the best 3pt shooters of all time"
@@EvanD9590 jesus man, if Bertans played in the 80s he wouldn't be getting 8 3s a game that's the fucking point. They look at each guys' game by actually watching him and jidgijg hos skill level and how he impacted the game when he played and therefor they know he was one of the best shooters ever coz he could shoot contest over people off the dribble and had great percentages. If you can't understand the fact that they ain't gonna shoot 30 3s a game in 1985 then you are the one who knows little about baskebtall. Same logic would mean that Bot Petit and Jerry Lucas are better rebounders than Ben Wallace and Duncan coz they averaged in their years more rebounds per game than those last 2... except people who actually think baskebtall know the context of both situations
Lol this is a fun game/topic😂😂😂😂
"Now you gonna finish your paper route"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gil got me questioning my memory when he talks, cos he had a 3 year run of being really good and almost cracking the top 10 players in the league.. Almost.... Dude talks like he was an All NBA first team, MVP candidate type. No bro, you were knocking on the door of the Kobes, AIs, TMac's, KG's but ended up being more of a Ben Gordon, Jalen Rose, Monta Ellis type player...
And that Viola must be the BOMB cos Al Harrington didnt even make an all star team
But he was lol if y'all say dame is a top 10 player gil definitely was top10 on his stretch
He was definitely a top 10 player for about 2 years. He changed the point guard position frfr
@@nmbmemphisbeast3690 Probably was borderline top 10 from 2005-2007. But he played no defense and was not a very good playmaker. If his shot was off and the other team had a good rim protector which made it had for him to bait for fouls (he was almost Harden-esque in his era), he would almost be a liability to his team. Cause he was not the type of player to control the tempo and pace of a game with his passing and distribution and was as bad a defender as Steve Nash.

He’s on that same level with Chauncey and Yao. Gil is one of my favorite players from that era besides Wade, but he be talking like he was on Wade and Ai level. Gil was the Bradley Beal of his era. He could light anybody up but didn’t translate to winning basketball.
@@OmegaSupreme1 he didnt change sh.t.... he was a one season wonder that talks like him and Kobe were equals... He had a good 3 year run that equates to one 2nd round exit and 2 first round exits.

No way will Harrington bust Mcadoo's ass. He was 6'9 and built, very good technique. I would legit give Bob the upper hand. Plus the question with Cousy is just stupid. So Arenas will have the same advantages with training, shoes and PEDs, but Cousy will still be wearing the same shoes with the same strict dribble and carry rules they had in that era. Bob was 6'1, but had pretty long arms and huge hands.
Mcadoo weighed 210 pounds at 6’10, Ap would work him out
@@Supreme36074 joker. Go look at a pic of McAdoo and tell me that guy was 210. He was def bigger and stronger than Harington.
Bob killing AL. People forget that Bob was like a older version of KD. You could not stop that man from scoring. I'm saying if this man was giving Kareem, Gilmore, Reed, etc buckets he smoking Al. I'm form IN Al is a terrible defender. Lol offense was coo.
Nostalgic Bliss I don’t have to, off course he looks decent in comparison to players of his era & probably was heavier once he got older but the dude wasn’t near Al’s weight or physic. Al was definitely stronger than him, you could clearly see the dude lifted no weights, which is on par for the era. McAdoo was great for his time, a pioneer of the bigs who could shoot. But one on one he’s not messing with any above average player, his height from the modern era.
