The Keyon Martin rant was hilarious!! I was feeling the same way UNK!! They was trippin!! "Simple Minded as a MF!!"🤣😂
It has absolutely not been forgotten. When Ja came back and was balling his celebrations were critiqued and articles were written saying he has not learned a thing. Eyes have been on him even on the bench. It’s fresh enough that he’s been called out for holding up 3 with the thumb, pointer and middle finger (which you would’ve saw dozen of people hold up just like him at the Duke and unc wbb game last night)
Exactly. Just because they aren't talking about it on sportscenter anymore doesn't mean they not watching and waiting for him to f up again. They definitely forgot about that finger thing.
McCants is the example of most people today they wanna believe they own ish but not someone who was literally there and gil got awful quiet
Kmart is right bro. There’s no way Ja checks in the game without them doing a rundown of his last 365 days. It’s gonna come up
It’s amazing that people can’t grasp how image matters for USA at the Olympics
Image absolutely matters to USA Basketball.
Bro Ja Morant is black…with controversy surrounding his name. They ain’t putting him in the Olympic team bro. This is still America…got to show the world they can keep they 🥷s in line 💯
Both y’all simple minded is the realest statement made on this show! Kenyon is 100% correct!
Last time Jrue played they won. U can tell they dont really watch it
Was considered the second best player by the damn committee
K-Mart debating like he's running for US President (pre-2016+ ). Gil & everyone else disagreeing debating like their running for HS Class president in whatever the USA's lowest 5 educational states.
If you have 3 open spots and you're choosing among 4 great guards, what will be the disqualifying factor? Of course it's the public image. It's not about the skill, they're all skilled, It's not about the sponsors, it's about going to Paris without any baggage or any possible baggage. What some members of the foreign press decide to ask Ja about the incident or his suspension? That's automatically bad press. So to avoid that, just don't include him for now. It's not that complicated.
"They talkin bout that hummus."😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 me and my girl were in tears
Braaahh I heard that shit and started dying 😂😂😂😂😂 For a sec I was like they must have some good hummus over there lmao 😂
That’s sad
🤣
Gil got sonned bad 🤣Kenyon is right my dawg it’s ok to be incorrect Gil and you are.💯
It is disconcerting that K Mart is the only one who grasps this painfully obvious concept.
Kenyon is the only adult in the room. Suprised the intelligence of global issues is missing. Image is everything. Brand USA
Kenyon talking about keep being loud meanwhile he the loudest 😂
He wasn’t loud, he was being stern and straightforward
@@darriusdupree6595did you watch the video
Kmart is saying the committee knows who’s good enough to represent USA, but if one of those players happens to go off and people from the world look them up and find these charges/accusations, it’s a bad look for us as a country. It’s really that simple
That’s it.
Kenyon do not be playin with them 😂😂😂😂
Kenyon def trynna get fired from the “simple minded” Gilbert Arena Show!
🤣🤣🤣
Kenyon Martin is like the drunk uncle who always makes perfect sense 😂
Kenyon Martin is 1,000,000% correct .. the assault case, the friend banned, the pointing of the gun with the laser, the gun in the strip club, the gun in car … he wouldn’t have played 🤣
kenyon is the oldest, therefore he actually knows what he talkin about. Facts over feelings
Gil talking about Brons age like Bird & Magic werent well past their primes by the time the OG Dream Team came along.
KMart is correct since Grant Hill stated Draymond Green will not be on this upcoming team. They are looking at players were great image.
No, they use that as an excuse on Draymond because he's not good enough anymore and they can use the spot to make money on another guy instead
Kenyon calling them simple minded was perfect
Am I the only one confused? Image? More like narratives if Kobe can come back from sexual assault accusations then how are we saying an American man having a gun is a detriment to USA…THE USA’s image 😭😭
Kenyon needs to break it down into something that they can understand. For example "the Wurk", ask them if they are taking someone like Brittany Renner or super head to a family function. No matter how good they look or "talented" they are it's their image that will prevent them from taking them to meet their mom.
This debate is reflecting American exceptionalism on full display. Nike is not bigger than the US agenda. There’s a certain image America wants to project to the world, and “1 billion dollars from Nike” as Gil puts it ain’t going to compromise that.
Even the argument that Ja’s shoes sold out is also simple minded because Nike also plays the politics. They will make money where they can, and they know they won’t get too big for the their britches
No, it is US exceptionalism to think looks matters more than money for a country that already every other country hates for going around murdering civilians and committing war crimes
K Mart was ready to choke ts out Gil 😂😂😂
Kenyon's right man, guaranteed it would get brought up by the press if they had Ja on the roster. He hasn't done anything to even remotely redeem himself yet.
Keyon is 100% right
Kenyon is right and he needs to call these guys simple minded every episode 😂😂😂
But he have him simple minded moments💀
Gil wrong on this one. The Olympics ain't a nba or a Nike event so what check is he talking about, it's a world event.
The US is the biggest weapons manufacturer on Earth, so is Ja’s image really gonna tarnish USA basketball that much to where he couldn’t be on the team?
There is no way Ja would get on this roster, not this soon.. Kenyon Martin is 100% correct, the media in this country would have an issue with him being on the team.
0:47 didn’t they just say about a month ago, that there’s only 2 superstars in the league? Why did I just hear him say “superstar” 15 times?
K- Mart cooked y’all 😂😂😂
Kenyon Martin was the only one on a team right?
That "Simple Minded" took me out. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kenyon is wasting his breath.
Indeed
The fact this man just tried to compare weed vs. getting caught doping is absurd. Both will get you cut from the tram but one you just have to retest while other bans
Brother , if you got caught smoking weed, you're banned in the Olympics bro its a simple matter bro
@@pacanzachristian2421 suspension there have been several USA athletes who have been suspended and still participated after
Kenyon is miles ahead of the others on that show. And not just on this one topic.
Gilbert and Rashard are lucky they could play basketball. Those guys are slow AF
Love the diversity of the crew!!! KEEP COOKING FELLAS
At this point Nike would withdraw Ja themselves for the same reason you said he would go : money. The risk of him doing wild shut over there would cost way more than him not showing up his kicks, especially since they already have plenty of them, much more selling and much less risk
Kenyon is looking over the fact that the USA it’s self is so dirty ain’t nobody worried about Ja Morant 😂😂😂😂
Anthony Edwards > Ja Morant
Keyon willing to scrap over his hypothetical opinion gotdamm😂
standing on bidness💯🤷♂️
Idk how many people been invited to the junior Olympic basketball team but I have when I played and what they say is you are an AMBASSADOR for the USA. Trust me they care about the your image..
Years ago USA team said it was a 4 year process and character mattered
i think kmart should have his own podcast. cuz he real 💯
