Gil's Arena Explains Why Chris Paul Will NEVER Win a Ring 

CP3 on the thunder was a true testament of his ability to make teams better

Josiah always “just the host” until a bron topic comes up.

Official shirt with a headband is crazy 😂

We not gone talk about these mfs misspelling championship “chamionship”

That year CP had in OKC can’t be overlooked. When he got traded there everybody was thinking oh they gotta be tanking. And he took them to the playoffs and not no 8 or 7 seed. They were 5th!

Cp3 don’t give a shit. He wants the just grasp the feeling of finally winning it all. Not a hard concept. He’s a great mentor for the young players they got as well.

26-32 is definitely your prime for basketball payers, that’s your phycial peak.

Gil hit the nail on the head. He doesn't need one at this point because people are going to say it didn't matter anyways. Its not gonna make him any greater at this point.

KG was on the end of his prime when he won that ring, but still in his prime. Reshaud crazy. KG was killing still

KG was the best player on the 08 Celtics and the best defensive player in the league. Do not for a second try to discredit that one

“”I’m merely host”😂😂

I disagree Jason Kidd won a chip as a role player but he was a very important role player

The moment Championship Ring is mentioned, you know Gilbert's gonna hate on that. LOL!

Aye Gils Arena needs to react to "we're done with the 90s" basketball footage. It's CRAZY 🤣

Shuttlesworth or Christ”😂😂

The narrative is not that CP3 chokes in the playoffs. The narrative is that he's gotten injured in pivotal points in multiple playoff runs. And that's not a negative since he can't do anything about his body failing him.

CP3 was my favorite player until he got injured in New Orleans. If you didn't watch CP3 when he was on NO, you just have no idea how good he was. The CP3 we have now is kinda just like a jump shooter or something. The CP3 on NO was like Isiah Thomas on crack, but had the vision of Jason Kidd. He was a transcendent player before the injury.

The Gary Payton comparison is exactly what I was thinking!

McCant literally goes out of his way to not mention LeBron when talking about champions

McCants not mentioning lebron is troll of the year 🤣🤣🤣🤣

KG made the allstar game in boston,that ends the "prime" debate

“Wing rinner” lol … love those

KG was still was still in his prime. Boston would of won another chip if KG didnt get hurt, probably 3 in a row. Prime is 27 thru 32 generally.

I disagree with the J Kidd and KG opinion. They were both huge factors on those teams. Neither the Celtics or Mavs would have gotten those rings without them. Gary Payton wasn't a big factor, I agree. GP was almost a distraction because he was arguing with Wade and showing a bit of jealousy toward Wade being the young new team leader. But KG and J Kidd were both major on those teams.

I agree with mccants on everything except kg. Kg was still wildin in Boston, glad bj questioned that

It’s not about unlocking a door Gil it’s something I’m pretty sure he wants to experience whether he’s the main guy or the 10th man off the bench

A wing rinner is crazy Gil

Cp3 sittin on the nuggets bench is a different kinda pressure tho. Cp3 and DJ pick roll as a second unit....sheesh.

as a mavs fan ik he didnt just say we had a stacked team when we won caron butler basically didnt play just about the whole team was in they 30s besides so at best they was at the tail end of they prime everyone just played they role and did what they was suppose to we didnt really have star players we had star names

Cp3 should go into coaching immediately after playing and taking some time to spend with his family. I think it’ll fit him great

Gil has the voice to be a preacher. You might have a future leading men. I'm not a staunch Christian but I know powerful potential when I hear it.

This the best panel y’all got, personnel-wise. 💯 By far…

Love the title

OKC when they had CP3 had a 0.02% chance to make the playoffs and took Houston which had TWO MVPS to 7 games and it came down to the wire

he will sign for a min with phoenix this off-season and have a good chance at it. hopefully be the assistant coach/future HC after.

This is a wild topic coming from Ring-less Players

I may not always agree with Rashad but he makes every episode hes on more entertaining 💯💯

Man Rashad just throws random items on before the show my guy literally is wearing the footlocker commercial outfit… COMFORTABLY 😂😂😂 Nasssstttyyy work

Damn this the first time I think I’ve actually agreed with Rashad his point was valid asf.

Saying KG wasn’t a factor in winning that chip with the Celtics must be the stupidest thing anyone has ever said on this show 😂😂😂😂

All had a great take

Honestly Cp3 is still a starting PG on this league. He’s 11th in the league in assist. The warriors had to make that move but let’s see ya say this when he’s starting for the Lakers next season

For the sake of the argument. KG didn’t win a ring with the T Wolves when he was that guy. His ring on the Celtics isn’t the same because of the team up. Still in his prime though.🏀

It’s Like When Tracy Mcgrady On The 2013 Spurs It Wouldn’t Have Meant Anything.

He will if he gets with the right team that can do it but he will be a role player coming off the bench and not getting many minutes just like Gil said…

I don't understand why the nba media is always sleeping on tony parkers career. Dude is top 4/5 point guards ever.

KG was in the league since high school. That’s why his prime felt super long. Started in his prime early.

Footlocker is back

KG won a defensive player of the year in 2008 and was a huge reason they won that chip

1. a player's prime can be somewhat subjective based on the player but from what i've seen majority of star players reach their reach their physical primes 26ish to 27ish, and their mental prime 28. they don't really start falling off until at least 32-33 if there were no major injuries. 2. it depends solely on how he performs for that ring. if he is a bench warmer, barely getting playing time, a few assists, a 3 here and there then yea it won't mean much. but if he has some random resurgence of ability and dominates multiple key games throughout the playoff run, hitting big shots, playing in crunch time, making the right plays leading to victories, then you won't be able to deny the positive impact on his legacy.

They right several NBA players won multiple NBA championships as bench players And u don’t even think about them. One example is Robert Horry, he won 7 NBA championships with the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, and San Antonio Spurs. He was a clutch shooter. But for most of his career. he was coming off the bench, so nobody considers him a “goat.”Despite having all those rings.

Problem is cp3 still getting huge money at this age. Imagine cp3 on a minimum contract as backup pg in a contender. He would improve lots of team and can still get his ring.

Kenyon don't mess with Rashad 😂😂

Rashad Lookin Like The Oldest Foot Locker Manager In The World‼️

The reason we chase rings is because it is something tangible that says yes you are the best and no one can take that away. Yes the ring hit different for MJ than it would for CP3 because one went and took it where another had to chase it.

As a coach CP3 will win championship ring.

Charles Barkley said it best. “If you ain’t driving the bus, don’t walk around talking about you a champion”.

Gil we need that definitive PG list!😂😂😂

This man had an opportunity to join Dwade, Lebron, and Bosh but didn't want to change his number because he cared more about his Brand. He cared more about chasing the bag and his brand then getting a ring. coupled with the fact he chokes when he's the focal point. It's not surprising

Gil’s ring talk would be different if he had one.

Scott Foster: “🛑the 🧢, don’t make me ref more GS games”

Mccants intentionally not mentioning bron when he was talking about champions is next level , bron ain’t do nothing to him 😂😂

What are y’all talking about… The reason why KGs numbers went down was because he teamed up with two other all stars… He was obviously still within his prime, you could argue maybe the latter end He was thee GUY that impacted Boston the most that helped them win a title and get there twice. His defense and leadership were instrumental to that squad.

KG was in his later years of his career‼️

CP3 to get a ring just to get a ring when he's not the guiding star anymore, that's why they sayin he can't get a ring anymore. Doesn't stop CP3 from Bus Riding but it's not the same ring you people are thinkin to these folks opinion here.

His window closed in that Suns series in the finals was it for CP....he might as well retire and accept that a championship ring is not in his favor in his career at this point...

We all know it was over for CP when we saw him limping in the hallway trying to console Curry and the team a month back.

It's funny how it's always the guys with zero rings who tell you how it doesn't matter...

Gil wont give Horry no credit 😂 its all subliminal. He talking about him vs horry 0 rings vs 7 rings

That KG comment was CRAZY

Gil be hating on anyone not named Lesbian James

Gary Payton played a huge role when they won that championship in Miami. He wasn’t the man but still big part of why they won.

He’d have to ride the bench at this point. He’s almost 40. His bench chance was Phoenix, and they completely blew it.

If anything he needs a personal accolade like an MVP. People don’t remember Gary Payton has a ring but they remember his DPOY and that helped him be viewed really as a top75 all time great

I'm not a CP3 fan, but if he played a Miami Heat Gary Payton role somewhere, even if he was not one of the main guys, the ring would still be respectable. If he could have his moments and huge impact even playing a supporting role, who would disrespect that?

Jason Kidd,Gary Payton, Dwight Howard,Mitch Richmond all hall of famers who will have won rings at the end of their careers in this way that CP3 will be attempting to do

8:35 McCants calling the 2011 Mavs, who had one All-Star, "stacked."

Gil be having me rollin bruh!! But he right! Go Tar Heels!! 🤙🏾

He’s gonna win one BUT it’s gonna be him joining a contender on his last year and getting a sympathy ring. He’s not gonna win one as a starter. He unlucky had his prime during Lebron’s prime, Warriors reign and a bit in Kobe’s era.

KG had the best mid-range jumper on the team when they won in Boston and his back-to-the-basket game was undeniable. Don’t get me started on his defense that year. 🎯💯

KG was an all-star when he got his ring, Jordan's last three rings weren't in his prime but he was still very deadly as was KG so I disagree that KG was a 'utility' player for Boston at that point

im imagining CP3 going to boston to get a ring lol. jayson, jaylen, jrue, kristaps, and then CP! that’s a sick starting line up

Chris Paul's best chance to win a NBA title was when he played on the Suns. Lot of great players don't win one and most NBA players don't either. Only one team can win one each season.

It's possible as long as he's playing to win or lose depends on if he catches a break...so many random ppl have rings so why can't he end up with one?

I agree with Gil on this one. Your contribution to the championship will be the deciding factor on significant and where you land in history. CP3 spent the better part of a decade as the NBA’s top PG so him winning a title in year 18 or some shit, averaging four points a game off of someone’s bench does nothing for his legacy.

KG 08 - Defensive Player Of The Year -1st Team All-NBA -1st Team All-Defensive Team

Hornets with CP3 were not Horrible. CP3 Peja David West Tyson Chandler Mo Peterson Bonzi Wells James Posey Maybe not a team full of all stars, but a solid squad. But agree that he made them way better

I agree with Gil that CP3 at this point in his career that winning a chip doesn't do alot and move him to higher tiers than he already is. However, hypothetically if he did win on the Warriors, they are probably gonna run no more than 7 to 8 deep which is no slouch. Plus, considering where the Warriors are, just saying, what if the Warriors make history? What if the Warriors make history do the impossible being a 7th, 8th, or play-in seed and win it all? I think it is safe to say that Curry is the best teammate Chris has teamed with and with the Warriors championship pedigree even though they are aging/regressing as long as Steph is alive and kickin' I can't count them out yet. People also have to understand that every team CP3 has played with has no kind of championship pedigree so who knows. But I do agree that had he won a chip in Phoenix (which he prolly should have if DBook played better and Giannis not turning into Superman) would have more weight.

Rashad is tripping. John Stockton is definitely ahead of everybody. Isaiah might be next, but only because of the 2 rings, I would still put Kidd in front of him. Then it would be a toss up. john Stockton holds 2 NBA records, assists and steals that will NEVER be broken. On top of that you say you don't count Kidd's ring cuz he had a stacked team. That Detroit Pistons team was stacked. 3 Hall of Famers, arguably one of the best 6th men of all-time in Vinnie Microwave Johnson, and a huge front line in Laimbeer, Edwards and Sally.

"Got a better chance of seeing Jesus" Why'd they even make this a question man lmaooooo

Top 10 PGs All Time 1). Magic 2). Steph Curry 3). Isiah Thomas 4). Tony Parker 5). John Stockton 6). C. Paul 7). Oscar Roberson 8). Steve Nash 9). Jason Kidd 10). J. West

What Gilbert is saying isn’t 100% true. A guy like Jason Kidd was past his prime when he won his ring, but it still elevated his career. CP3 doesn’t have to be a top 3 player on chip team. Just gotta contribute

Bringing up KG in this is kinda weird, because he was arguably the best player on the Celtics when they won. Him and Pierce averaged similar points in the playoffs, but KG was obviously the better defender.

It depends on the victory of the chip. Look at Ray Allen. He made a shot to keep the Heat alive for another game. It counts though. Right?

“The Scott Foster Special”

McCants is completely wrong about KG being a "utility guy" when he won his ring. He was still an all star and won DPOY that year.

I know this is off topic but, everyone is saying Lebron is the best or greatest scorer ever because of the 40000. But question. Lebrons 40000 or Mjs 30.1 a game. Both are number one all time. Lebron is a jack of all trades but master of none.

These ring "experts" not who I'd ask. And everytime something Ike this comes up of course Gil is like "rings don't change history" cus he ain't get one. It 100% cements you.

Gil just answer the question !

Bro who did the editing because I could have sworn chamionship was spelled CHAMPIONSHIP 😂😂😂
