Gil's Arena Exposes The ABSURDITY Of Modern NBA Training 

🎯

This is what Kobe respected about GIL, the attention to detail

FACTS!

😂😂😂

The look when he said was to funny

Rashad trained to be the 4th to 5th best player on the team

Nerd Geek Dork

​And you trained to just play yourself on 2k "My player" mode lol 🤣 🤣 🤣 it's a big difference scrub 🤣🤣🤣.... ​@@hutchinsonkylerify

@@hutchinsonkylerify Man you haters don't even try to hide your hate.

@@hutchinsonkylerify Hey he's in the NBA and had a career at least

Let’s play prove it. What guy has he taken from a promise to a proven commodity

That's why Embiid's game looks like Jayson Tatum's game. Same trainer. His big a$$ needs to get in the paint and get some post moves.

I like the discourse a lot.....BUT its not like these guys were. efficient NBA scores.. Jennings career 38% fg, Gil 42%, Mccants 43%....

@@mrhoopfan1 you also have to look at it in the context of their era, those shooting splits were above league avg at the time. Now, there is way more space to work with since nobody camps out in the paint.

Bingo!

Nah fr.

Lol.

But outta the 3 you named only 1 average 30+ so even with the same bag 1 is clearly better

@@tay-shanwomack1704or he had the greenlight with nobody on the team

@@ClarenceBurris-yg7yxbingo

Better than Lebron: “Yup, yup, yeah, yup”

“And that’s the thing”

The Gil lingo 😂

Gil lingo: WNBA players should ball in thongs

@@jussarino lmfao. I forgot that one

That's facts

Best part of 21 and Utah when you getting double and triple teamed. We looked forward to having to beat 2 or 3 guys off the dribble to get a bucket.

Big Facts

They don't seem to play for highlights.

@@PotatoGunCamper like they said, do you think Jordan Poole plays good basketball ?

@@PotatoGunCamper what about firing up 3s on the fast break? This is good basketball or a joke? “Highlights” are in quotation marks because it’s more like lowlights

@@patsnation1402 That is NOT the players fault. Taking open 3's over easy 2's came about because of statisticians entering into the game. Over a large enough sample size an open 3 is better than an open easy 2. The math works out that way. As longest you reach a specific range of 3 percentage it is worth it statistically. The players did not one day say, let's drain these 3's for the highlights-- they were given the greenlight in basketballs sort of Moneyball era.

@@PotatoGunCamper the math works if your name is curry and all those guys. How’s it going for the Charlotte hornets for example ? Money ball or broke ball? Who can throw up the most 3s win the game is ugly ball. The rating reflect the same as well. NBA ratings are coming from overseas. NFL is dominating the ratings and taking over the NBA time slots on XMAS.

Points in the right times helps the teams win. You can score 30 points and it’s meaningless as it comes to winning the chip. You look great. But, will get ridiculed on why you never led a team to a chip with that much talent. It’s only gotten like that because of media. They didn’t judge players with disrespect back in the day like ESPN does now. In my opinion

@@deelewis8061 I agree. Like lebron had 26 in game 2 against the nuggets with some big buckets down the stretch. BUT with a wide open 3 with 15 seconds on the clock. He didn’t have to shot right then, he won chips passing that shot. But 1 bucket was the difference in the game. Not the refs not the 7 three Dlo had already but 1 shot.

Also I would think relaying to the training aspect there’s so many limits to the players archetype based on their size.

💯 all great scorers have spots on the floor that if they get there it’s over!

@juliusedwards7199 exactly. Why waste energy toying with your food if you're a "killer"? They contradict themselves a lot.

MJ had a simple but effective game, but to be honest it was easier to torch those guys doing man defense then and ISOs. Kobe needed more moves to do the same, but Kobe faced better defensive schemes.

​@PotatoGunCamper Agreed. My issue is their concept of how easy to score 30 and how they played. Why wait for a double team to shoot a less efficient shot? Let me dribble 30 times to kill clock and do a step because it adds "difficulty". Mccants must didn't hear Kobe when he said you can't win with that style of basketball.

All the great ones do. Kobe kd mj bron wade etc

He was in college

exactly. the players with the deepest bags don’t need to show it off if they know they can score with a simple move every time. when you go to the park you see people dribbling for fun and to show off handles, shit cool and all but it’s all for show unless you can get a bucket.

I guarantee u werent alive to see him play.

Gil had lethal on his pod before lol

Facts. What they saying don't even really apply to bro. Everybody gotta keep the shot sharp.

It’s because everybody thinks they have to be a sharpshooter to play basketball nobody works on being a slasher or a post scorer they automatically go to shooting and think they’ve got it figured out . It wasn’t a shot just a reference.

And they can bring in Lexie when they need someone to complain about WNBA players not getting paid the same as the men.😂

Minus Makonanen

They need Kmart in there

@@JGROVES716. yea he can be a little cringe sometimes

He is a fraud clout monger he hasn’t made anyone better dude is a social media clout clown

@@SWhyteYTscreenshot or it didn’t happen

McCants was nice before he got hurt.... he wasn't a bum. He was highly regarded as a prospect out of college

Mccants could Go back then, wasn’t no slouch

Mccants player in live could shoot and dunk he was a problem

At that time if you were a guard that was 6’3 to 6’5. They either compared u to Gilbert j rich or dwade. Tweener guards. Mccants had game bad situation

​​@@chaasadbanyahawadah5471 he was good in college and a lot are. In the NBA at absolute peak prime be was a average second option. Gilbert was a top 5 scored on the NBA and multiple time all star. They aren't remotely comparable. Jennings also was far better, short career but a 1 option and all star level player before injury.

All these elite players with "bags" but can't win enough games for a playoff spot or be the #1 on a playoff team. It's why I'll always rate the 2000s superstars over the ones now or recently. Those stars were made men, and transformed whatever team they were on to playoff teams but and had to battle other hall of famers.

ratings are down because of cable cutting

@@flamingbow3 tmac won?

Do you mean contradicting?

@@rashawngoston3247 Thank you. Don't know how I did not realise that. I'll edit it.

@@tebugomajombozi1197 you're welcome 😊

Its extremely hard to listen to this guy ( McCants)

Not looking it up, I'm calling Tatum very consistent under pressure.

@@penkima4923 you didn't watch him against Golden State in the finals? What about 14 points in game 7 in the Western Conference Finals last year?

With the amount of travelling that these players do, I firmly believe they are not given more natural recovery time, we have this tech to 'rush' their recovery, but you need actual time to recover and recuperate properly.

My thoughts: Too much specialization at too early an age: Playing other sports, utilizing other muscles and skill sets, was natural cross training. Too much play via AAU: Too much court time because of AAU during the summers. There is no offseason to actually rest. Mental burnout leading to physical burnout: By the time these youngsters get to the league they’ve already been playing 15-20 years of basketball and many of those years with injuries. Highlight culture: It’s hard for me to watch basketball these days because everyone wants to show off their bag rather than take a simple shot. I’ve seen a player dribble a for 15 seconds when he could’ve gotten his shot off within the first 10 seconds several times.

What the guy said before me. It is what NBA research says too. These young guys come into tye league with a body with 30yrs of age to playing too much basketball and only basketball.

back then you had players like brandon roy , greg oden , gil , brendon jennings having their careers cut short because of injuries. we now have players playing til their late 30s. so the improvement is quite clear

Players have always been injured...part of pro sports

So Giannis is more SKILLED than athletic? Man c'mon..........Luka and Jokic are once in a lifetime dudes

@@mrhoopfan1 giannis is more the exception to euro players he is super athletic. He doesnt even play a euro styled game.

@@EYEGAWD Dennis Schroder is skilled but insanely fast, Gobert and Capela more athletic than skilled. Media tries to make us think whats " Euro" is whats more refined, superior mentally/ intellectually. There are a ton of skilled American trained ball players...

@@mrhoopfan1 imma just say it since you not taking the hint. The white ones

@@mrhoopfan1 majority of black athletes have some kind of athleticism they can depend on. Its about the none athletic white players who had to purely rely on skill and nothing else.

What does it say?

@@facecrook3454 we don't want hear you say N**** no more

they just tryna be versatile bro. not everybody can be wemby with the shot creating or KD, but it’s cool to see people expand their game; but you right. the traditional big man is a lost art in the NBA because the game is expanding to where guards aren’t the only ones who can shoot anymore. the small guard has disappeared. basketball is more position less. the forwards play like guards now, and the centers shoot lights out and move like they’re 6 inches shorter. even Embiid you would think he would just be a paint beast but he’s over here hitting stepback middies and threes

Lavine is overrated

Being a 6’3 guard ! You shallow idiot

He really was tho. There weren’t many of the Tyrese maxey/jalen Brunson/gilbert arenas combo guards back then it was primarily Gil. Mccants coming out of college his ceiling was seen as an undersized 2 version of Gil with less ball handling more athleticism

😂😂😂 he loves to hype himself up.

😂😂😂😂

​@Rubbabandman they just like to talk. Bro literally just gave them the link to go look. Of course people hate when Mccants say something like this because of his reputation. Some things he say really be valid.

there is a job for everybody. he is a star in his role
