I disagree he was needed! They wanted him to teach the young Lion. He refused, not knowing the young Lion had genuine respect for him. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side! Sometimes in life there is a greater purpose like teaching to find your happiness and purpose. Look at Gil’s son, he is a monstar! This lesson followed him into fatherhood.
unnecessary comment from me but i just had this beautiful connection that if you cant discuss a past low moment then you never truly grew from it. nahsayin?
He was throwing because of anxiety and depression reasons. I had the same thing happen to me and I didn’t understand what was happening to me at first I thought I was sick
Nah, Wall was hurt for like 2 years straight in Washington. And they were paying him like 40 million a year. They didn’t do Wall dirty, he just got injured.
No they didn’t. Gotta put the team first and they both decided in the end it was about them and not the team. Gil brought a gun to the arena and Wall was throwing up gang signs like he was a part of the DC mafia 😂. Both guys are well respected in the DMV, but their time was over.
Bro ik im late but you sound crazy they both got did terrible for them to be the franchise only stars in the past 40 years who embraced it like them two
@@samwinston5so you feel they should be able to act however they want? The NBA is a business and they both are employees of the team. Gil brought a gun to his job and threatened a teammate over a card game. John is the face of the franchise and he’s hurt and still partying throwing up gang signs. Where’s the common sense & maturity? Why would the team want to be affiliated with that nonsense. I’m a fan of both but I’m also a fan of the Wizards and they needed to make a change.
@@johnson-jr4001but I’m looking at how Ja Morant got suspended. Hell even Gil got suspended. Both had guns. John Wall had no suspension. Just let him go smh .
He was like the 4th or 5th best point guard in the league for like 3 years. Wouldn’t call that “underrated” he just wasn’t as talented as other stars from his era and had a relatively short and uneventful prime.
@@LouieOcean. drugs are bad. When he was in college ppl were saying he was the next Kobe. When he was in the NBA he was in a PG heavy period. He was definitely underrated if he wasn’t stuck in Washington he would’ve been better
Thank you john wall even though something so simple as asking gil for help brought his love for the game back in the end and it helped him get out of the dark place he was in 🙏🏾.. And thank you gil for sharing these dark times in your life cause some of us goi g thru something can hear this and could help 🙏🏾
This is why we love your podcast… it’s raw authentic and deep sometimes… please stop diverting from what makes your podcast the best.. Basically stop acting like Espn
I remember being in middle school watching the John wall mixtapes and becoming a fan of college basketball because of him at Kentucky… being from Baltimore and young and dumb it just seemed normal he came to the wizards like it was meant to be for me watching this dude bless the court
Naw I was mad at Gil because he was playing bully money wise with a younger player that was a role player knowing he wasn’t in the financial atmosphere as h himself.
The dumbest shit ever. When you make it to that level, you have to move different, you dont act like you are still in the hood. He played a stupid game and won a stupid prize 🏆
Ima DC resident. I absolutely remember. I is t even know he could grow a beard like he did. You could literally see, he was through with the organization especially when he changed his number
That Orlando Magic player pic of Gil showed it. Look at Gil's yearly NBA team profile pic and he's cheesing except the Orlando one. He didn't even get a shave or shape up 😂😂😂
Wall did so much for the Raleigh scene. Shit even in Fayetteville mffckas was on Wall. Even when he was beating them on the court lol he a dope mffcka man. Fr
An article actually came out recently that said they accidentally replaced Gilbert Arenas with John Wall because they looked the same so nobody noticed Gilbert Arenas was gone after the trade
Gotta get John Wall on here, sucks that the wizards did John the same way they did Gilbert. I get it, Gil and John made some mistakes. Be they literally carried the franchise into somewhat respectable.
Watch the entire segment. His son didn't even know he was a pro basketball player till someone at school had his father's Jersey with his last name in the back.
Man Wall better then PJ Tucker, Crowder, Robert Covington, Pat Beverly etc but yet they ain't got him on a team smh. Story is deep, this what I wanna hear more of. Respect for this one. John Wall underrated like a mf
Going from feeling unwanted to needed will drag almost any man out of depression....men need purpose
Facts
❤
So true

Well put..
Respect Gil for his transparency here and for growing in that moment and sharing that with us.

Facts
Same, thought i had developed an eating disorder
Stress nd competitiveness, Bill Russell was throwing up before every single game
Should’ve thought about that before bringing a damn gun to an NBA locker room
@@danielcancel2901Nicca stfu. Bringing up something thats 10+ years ago is wild
Wizards did him and John dirty in the end . Smh , best players we’ve seen in a long time.

John Wall was one of the most underrated players

@@LouieOcean. Thats exactly why he's underrated in many people's eyes. He was a top 2 PG for at least 2-3 years during his prime.
I had the pleasure of watching him at UK; I wish he had stayed longer
Thank you john wall even though something so simple as asking gil for help brought his love for the game back in the end and it helped him get out of the dark place he was in 🙏🏾..

Watched this segment in real time. It was awesome for him to share

John was a real one. A good man.
I was never mad at Gill for that situation.
People gone try you and you gotta stand on business
Just an FYI you opened yourself to people being assholes over your comment because you said you weren't mad so be prepared just in case
I could care less about people who never been in the world and can't comprehend that Gill did what he had to.
He played 68 games in his last 5 seasons in DC. He can’t possibly be mad at them replacing him when he wasn’t available to play.
Naw I was mad at Gil because he was playing bully money wise with a younger player that was a role player knowing he wasn’t in the financial atmosphere as h himself.
The dumbest shit ever. When you make it to that level, you have to move different, you dont act like you are still in the hood. He played a stupid game and won a stupid prize 🏆
Very good John Wall and thanks Agent 0 for sharing this ❤
Get John on the pod!!
You can't help but respect Gil. He's had his issues, but I like how he swallowed his pride to help John Wall.
Helping and mentoring others can be really rewarding
🔥🔥🔥✊🏾✊🏾. Amazing commentary
Salute Gil for this. John Wall should be on a team now
Salute to him for sharing that story. That's beautiful story
Real. Gil has never been a hater no matter how people feels about him.
They gotta get John on the couch mane
@@Draw4Dameporn has fried your brain
@@Draw4Dame🌽 has fried your brain
@@GodsSon754 No nigga, that man was suicidal last week heard from him tf is a podcast
Y'all have to listen to the whole conversation. It'll probably help save somebody.
❤ met John very Humble he a Real One .
Idk if anyone remembers but i honestly don't think Gil even got a haircut the entire time in Orlando.. you could see he was ill
Ima DC resident. I absolutely remember. I is t even know he could grow a beard like he did. You could literally see, he was through with the organization especially when he changed his number
Powerful clip!
A humble man can break down a brick wall...praise God!!
Human beings are so interdependent. A little love goes a long way. No man is an island
Respect,Gil.
He still has the best high school mixtapes!
Selflessness is the key to a healthy life.
That’s real spit Gil, respect 💯
Very deep.. very ironic... good story
Thank you J Dub. Gil is a basketball legend and a basketball servant.
Big Respect JW #DC
Mad respect to my guy Gil
The media back then made it seem like gil was a danger to the nba.....it was fucked up
Be kind & good person world full of hate make someone day don’t matter if you customer, mentee or student we all got impact for good.
John was that dude for a minute
Great example of a fan out on a limb to make their point
Pierce came at the perfect time Cs looking like 86 lol on Skip Texas team lol 😂
That Orlando Magic player pic of Gil showed it.

I loved Gil on the magic
Awesome to admit this, cant be easy. Very cool
Man gil is out of his mind, but the dude is a good human. This is a great story
Thank you John Wall

All praises to the Most High.. We're our brothers keeper
Dang. That’s a deep story!
I NO RESPECT FOR GIL BASKETBALL CAREER BUT AS A PERSON HE'S MATURED 💯
They blackballed John wall man
A hand up not a hand out....friends lifting each other up
An article actually came out recently that said they accidentally replaced Gilbert Arenas with John Wall because they looked the same so nobody noticed Gilbert Arenas was gone after the trade
What episode was this
Gotta get John Wall on here, sucks that the wizards did John the same way they did Gilbert. I get it, Gil and John made some mistakes. Be they literally carried the franchise into somewhat respectable.
Gil the OG Paul George. I see it now
He was dealing with the other side of fame 😮😮
Yeaaa John southside legend
Thank you John wall!!!
Watch the entire segment. His son didn't even know he was a pro basketball player till someone at school had his father's Jersey with his last name in the back.
Respect
💯💯
Gil, that's what being a professional is all about, Bruh. And contrary to what others say about you. I know that you, Agent 0, is all that and some.
I still imagine if Gil didn’t get hurt. We wud of had potentially him,Beal and wall
As men we NEED to mentor the little brothers just as much as the little bros need guidance. We all we got gentleman
This is what Jesus meant when He said, its more blessed to give than it is to receive"...
Do one comparing Kat getting choked out by Ben Simmons and tapping out and Rudy getting choked out by Draymond 😂😂😂
i aint ever heard someone tint their house windows to not be seen, just close the blinds fam
Children of men explains it best… without the younger generation. We are absolutely lost.
Man Wall better then PJ Tucker, Crowder, Robert Covington, Pat Beverly etc but yet they ain't got him on a team smh. Story is deep, this what I wanna hear more of. Respect for this one. John Wall underrated like a mf
Where my boi John at anyway
💯!!
That's Real
Get him as a guest. He free
DMV stand up
Thank John Wall
Won’t GOD do it Amen
Amen
💪🙏
Gil keeps talking like he was HIM. He wasn’t
my king john wall
S/O John Wall
Wow. Thats a real life lesson there. Didn’t expect that from Gil’s immature ass.
Wow
💪
This is real
Gil Real🫡🙏
Saved his career? He was done. He played 17 games with Memphis and then he was out the league. Maybe he regained interest, but his career was over.
I hate that certain players got black balls that can still play
Agent self, was a glorified chuck. He was never gonna win a chip as the first nor second option period, even if he stayed healthy.
Just say you was drinking heavy
You woke up throwing up because you was probably drinking all night
It’s tiring always hearing grown men cry these days
Then he turns around and cooks other athletes all day
He sounds like was really ill
🫡🫡🫡
How did he save his career ? 😂 he was out the league a season or two later
RNA ifykyk
Gil you wasnt dat good tho 2 season bro
John wall suck bruhh
Damn Gil, I didn't realize you lived and from the suburbs til I watched another episode. If u grew up in the hood..you mite have some back bone.
