"Dennis Rodman Could NOT Stop LeBron James" Gilbert Arenas Defends Today's "Soft" NBA 

He's been on ESPN before

Nah they’ll try and censor him

@@tgdabest he's been on The Jump numerous times lol

nah not the way MJ endured the bad boy Pistons lol

@@jasonhearn5818 the Pistons should be pissed at how they are portrayed in history. They are made to look like a bunch of mindless idiots that just wrestled all game when they were actually a very good defensive unit against Jordan. Yes, they were physical with him, but their concepts were sound. They just get made out to look like hockey goons now & strangely don’t run from it.

@@bigwilly43729actual players from the pistons like John salley and Joe Dumars admitted what everyone already knew...so its like not its exaggerated there's video footage confirming what is verbally stated..even in the 30 for 30 documentary ...its no secret MJ was a threat so they had to physically neutralize him... yeah the pistons skills and teamwork was overshadowed by the signature Bad boy style of play lol...Pistons were way past physical they literally beat the hell outta MJ and Bill Liambeer was trying to injure him

@@jasonhearn5818 Bro only like 2 players on that Pistons team could actually fight. Isaiah Thomas and some other player.

@@vlonen8926bro....fighting would've gotten them ejected...im primarily talking about hard fouls which have nothing to do with fighting ... the strategy was to try and neutralize mj ...anyone is capable of hard fouls...MJ went thru hell ...plenty of RU-vid clips showing the footage

There was plenty of playground stars who never got a shot in NBA. Even the great Pistol Pete who learned to play from Black ppl near his neighborhood had fleer. Look at Harlem Globe Trotters just that coaches would suppress players from killing in Organized ball. Pistol Pete was lucky his dad was a coach and his older brother played on highschool team so he was a Legacy. Free to do whatever

Exactly the real know. Even today’s hoop super stars will agree

@@Subzero48xb Naah We Talking About The STYLE, The LOOK, The PERSONA! Maan Before AI These Guys Wouldnt Be Publicly Wearing Grills & Durags & Tatted Up Like A Rapper & This Bled Through The NBA AND The NFL

Facts.

EXACTLY...

Isiah Thomas came up playing against physical defense his whole life. Allen Iverson wasn't the first person with a crossover. Gilbert Arenas is a paid agent of the NBA to perpetuate the false narrative that today game is the best it's ever been

@@wavycrockett4261 who said allen Iverson had the 1st crossover? He evolved the crossover... isiah was one of the 1st players to face up defenders and shake them regularly in a time when most guards would back down defenders. Nba storyteller has a great video highlighting this and how coaches were gatekeepers forcing a specific type of playstyle and rhythm.

@@wavycrockett4261 they forgot about Tim Hardaway with his killer crossover

@@wavycrockett4261 who said iverson was the first guard with a crossover?

Well said

Cause the media is not paid to be objective, but to stir up and cause controversy.

@Tom Evers Don't know what that is, but sure.

@@Ioannikios174 I wholeheartedly agree. Look at the "analysts" like Skip Bayless, Nick Wright, Ryan Hollings etc. Every one of them assesses the game in the most biased and subjective way possible with the sole purpose of causing outrage and supporting their catchphrase narratives, for example "the chosen one becomes the frozen one" etc. That generates controversy and caters to the lowest common denominator. The TNT crew is very different in that sense IMO, as they are in fact analysing the game with integrity and informative value, based on the context and with fare share of nuance

Todays nba players too fast ma ass, u would get smack on the face while going to the rim....

That’s exactly why they won’t put him on mainstream TV. It sucks cause he’s lowkey a genius when it comes to this stuff.

I wish they would put him with the tnt crew.. bunch of boomers on that set

@@jasonriverajr644 Those espn and tnt guys know better, they just are doing what they are told. If Arenas was in those shows he would eventually start sounding like them.

It’s crazy that he knows more than the legends that actually played in that era

Exactly

@Jay Phillips he from Compton I think he got a mentality of his own

Jay Phillips San Antonio went down hill cause that roster wasn’t good enough.

@@datboyrell2849 right and him and Kobe were super close. So Kobe had to see some of himself in Demar.

Derozan's game is exactly what that era was lol

@@stringer2295 Lmao, Literally. Shaq shooting that down makes no sense. DeMar would FLOURISH in the 90's.

On everything all Gill spoke was unfiltered fax

The skill level hasn’t increased so much the only thing that has changed is the coaching aspect of the nba isn’t what it was in the 90s and guys have green lights to do things that would get you sat down for the rest of the game, point guards weren’t allowed to just come down and pull up from 3 within 6 seconds of the shot clock no they had to run the entire team.... and if you think they didn’t have the talent to do that RU-vid a guy by the name of Chris Jackson at LSU

@@mjmoutry1st784 rodman never successfully guarded Shaq. It's always a play or two or a game or two that is hyped up but Rodman can't touch Shaq defensively. And Rodman could NEVER guard LeBron, please. Pippen could guard LeBron as well as anyone, but Rodman no. Rodman is not the matchup for him, LeBron is too fast and athletic.

He is just unbiased. He has seen both sides .

That’s a literal fact, no hand checking puts a lot more pressure on a defender

@@moman3w plus offensive players can draw contact almost freely which makes it much harder

I totally agree with the lack of footwork!

Whats funny is that these old bitter men bring up handchecking to undermine today’s offensive players but never extend defensive players of today credit for defense. Even though handchecking is vastly overstated. But they still have double standards about it

@@newrecruit100did you play in the hand check era?

You think they holding GSW or Houston to that.

Nobody was shooting 14 3s a game either. Evolution

You’d think Silva would have a problem with retired abd notable players talking down on the product.

So you can listen to the wrong stuff all day.

You are the only person speaking facts I love Gil but he get caught up in his on bs sometimes

The only right answer.

I don't agree 100% I'm not sure about vice versa in basketball. The worst team in the NBA right now would beat any of Bill Russel's Celtics without question, Bill Russel's Celtics would probably be cut from the NBA nowadays. Watch the film from back then and see the limit of their skillsets.

Brooooo somebody tell these lbj nut huggers I think gil trynna take shannon spot they gotta finnesse the argument so mike looks worse

It doesn’t always work that way. At the beginning of the discussion you decide if you’re making a fantasy discussion OR if you’re literally copy and pasting a players abilities. You’re implying that Rodman would magically score 15-20 a game cause he’s being dropped into a different era. Shaq’s FT and 3pt percentage is gonna skyrocket if he was drafted in 08. Mutombo is gonna be faster, etc. The fantasy setting doesn’t work for a lot of players.

I was just thinking this shyt bro ..

You probably learned why he was a loser. He admitted that he chose his feelings of a teammate that did nothing to him, over winning. You go ahead and learn from this emotional man. Me, I’ll learn from Bill. 😂🤣

So tell me what happened when RODMAN played against SHACK??? how many points did SHACK get???

@@deemoney9376 Seriously?... This year alone the all star snubs would've made another all star team. The league has an overwhelming collection of talent right now. The game is more skill based now than ever

Shaq had the least skill of them all. He was just a freak of nature. Bad example..HORRENDOUS DUDE. Try again

While playing physical and beating down his opponent. The way the game is more about finesse and not brute strength he really couldn’t keep up with this generation

Plus nun of the are 6’8 250 260 running faster than point guards and have a 42 ish 43 inch vert
