    Gilbert Arenas’ show is single handedly destroying the whole “if you didn’t play you don’t know ball” narrative.

    Rashad Mccants stay saying dumb shit, now K Mart joining in

      Gilbert Arenas himself says the most amount stupid shit. He’s just smarter about not being too outlandish with his takes and playing to what’s favorable to casual fans.

      I fell for it too. I had started watching Gil’s show from the podcast he had and I was enjoying it up until that ESPN TOP 100 episode. They were shitting on ESPN’s list and rightfully so, having Wembanyama and Scoot on the list without playing a single NBA game is nuts.

      But then Kenyon Martin sat there and said that Kyrie Irving should be in the Top 10 lmaoooo I had to turn that shit off right there. Obviously a Mavs fan and I love Kyrie’s game but come the fuck on, Top 10? In 2023?

      Out of all the famous basketball podcasts this is by far the worst one. It’s impossible to watch one of their clips without getting dumber. No wonder none of his regular guests never won a thing in their entire NBA careers.

      Shaq been destroyed that shit at least for me… After all these years of bad takes by him, I honestly believe Shaq has the lowest Bball IQ of any player in history and was running off of sheer willpower. No playbook just ball

      The fact that anybody is listening to Arenas’ opinion is ridiculous in the first place.

      We are talking about a guy who played in the NBA for 12 years, only won 10 playoff games, and is mostly known for being the dumbass who brought a gun into the team locker room.

      Mccants shouts his dumb shit. He’s not even smart enough to just say it. He has to scream it so it sounds a little better. (It doesn’t help tho)
