Gil's Arena RIPS Charles Barkley For Defending Darvin Ham 

Barkley's point is all these "podcaster ex-players" never put any accountability on players. They rely on players making appearances on their podcasts for views so are less critical of them. Gil is 100% one of them, pretty much always blaming coaches and GM's.

Charles Barkley always took accountability for losing and never blamed anyone else, he literally just did it on Shay's podcast the other day.

Aaaaaand this is why Gil is a podcaster not on mainstream TV. it went from Barkley saying what he thought was unfair for a COACH! And Gil turns it around “well you were a bad player” 🤦🏻‍♂️ Barkley speaking about Ham, Gil talking about Charles past😂😂😂anything to deflect away from the real problem ..

Bro Barkley been repeating the accountability shit for years lol. He clearly said he shouldn't of even been hoopin in Houston lol. Gil trippin

Gil went on a rant dissing Barkley just to reiterate his point lol .

Bro he calling out Barkley is the reason why Barkley said it’s the players, 🤦🏾‍♂️ Gil never said the coaches who coached Barkley..lol

Everything is not Darvin Hams fault. We have to get out of this all or nothing culture. Its either the coaches fault or the players.. its everybody's fault. Hams rotations, play calling, game management and adjustments were not good. Bruh LA was running last years adjustments in this years playoffs and didnt add anything other than 1 defensive recovery scheme. The team and the execs were not confident in the coach...that was the issue and LA was a 48 win team. Injuries played a role, i think a healthy Vando and Reddish significantly improves the defense and give AR and Rui more offensive energy. With all that said, its unfortunate but I get it.

Gil acting like a female right now. He acts like Barkley isn’t allowed to criticize players. That’s literally in his current job description. He’s not a player anymore! How he performed back in the day is no longer relevant.

Charles was just on Club Shay Shay talking about how many mistakes he made.

Gil lying like a mfer…Barkley the only person in media that takes accountability

Too much responsibility on the coaches, as opposed to the players!

Gilbert is proving Charles’ point. Gil is talking about Chuck “the player”, and Chuck is talking about the players.

gil’s entire beginning has nothing to do with what charles was talking about, dude argues like a little kid and you can tell he’s still that same crybaby he was when he was 24, 15 years later

Gil is literally makings Barkley’s point 😂😂😂. Hes saying “it’s the players fault Gil 🤦🏾‍♂️” I blame the Arizona wildcats for not making him go to class!

Barkley never makes it personal he keeps it about basketball, Gil killed it when his first word was “I don’t like him”

Coaches don't miss or hit buzzer beaters. Players deserve to be held accountable.

Gil changed the subject quick

Gil is not informed and he constantly comes off looking like a goofy. First, Charles has admitted of his mistakes and the points Gil was making in reference to taking shots at Charles those exact issues proves Charles main point about players not taking accountability and blaming coaches

Barkley being a hypocrite doesn't make his statements false. Pop is not the GM, he's the president of basketball operations. Gil talked himself into agreeing with Charles. You can release a player, someone else will pick them up like right now and you'll pay their salary.

Philly exhausted the possibilities with Barkley. He was the only one that had significant trade value. And if Philly wanted to get better, Barkley was a logical trade. Gilbert is trying to spin a narrative based on emotional feelings.

lol what is Gil talking about? He’s saying the same thing Charles said. It’s the players! Haha come on Gil

Gil calling the kettle black is hilarious

Both things can be true. You can say Barkley didn’t take accountability but same for Lakers and Suns…no big deal

barkley talked about his entry into the league and what it took to become the player he was. barkley talked about his finals run with the suns... those other teams they were beyond their prime the leagues talent had passed them.

Charles Barkley might be the only person on television I have seen take accountability consistently

Charles has taken accountability...

Gil changed the whole argument that was weird and in his example coming at charles he really proved what charles was saying, its more the players fault and not the coaches and even with this angle

Felt like Barkley was mainly talking about the GMs not the players. He said blame who put the teams together which is the GMs 🤷🏻‍♂️

When Gil brings up CB 25 year old playoff history it makes no sense. What about now?

I forgot that Gil won championships and never brought guns into the locker room

I like the "I feel better now" at the end 😆 🤣

The cook analogy was a great explanation on the roles people play in the success of the team. What you need, how you make it work, and how well those players execute everything you’ve built up for them.

Gil Arenas is a MARK!! It’s never Lebron’s fault!! Gil is also a LIAR!!! Barkley DID TAKE RESPONSIBILITY when he played!! Stop the LIES!!🤡🤡🤡🤡

Barkley has been talking about his downfalls as a player for 30 years. Just Google, fellas. It's not that hard.

Barkley not on trial here….. these ballers putting together super teams with friends and then blame everyone but themselves….. you tell us to put the team together and when it falls apart, it’s my fault????!!!???!! Hell naw

This coming from Gil considering he signed a huge contract hiding how bad his injury was. Barkley took a lot more accountability than Gil. Chuck actually wanted the team to win.

Thank u Charles, BJ, n Mccants! Every body else need that Leborn interview I get it lol

since Phil Jackson left in 2011 the Lakers have had 7 different head coaches... the front office/ownership always make them the scapegoat and fire them when the team has a disappointing season. that's just how they do. its not just Lebron, this was a dysfunctional organization for a long time

I love YALL brothers keep it real this why I subscribe to YALL channel. Excellent show

I’m a diehard lakers fan since the Magic & Kareem era. The issue with the Lakers has always been the lack of value they place on role players and draft picks. They are only means to get Super Stars. The bubble title team (regardless of if you chose to count it) was clearly the best time in the league before the COVID lockdown. They won the title and moved the whole team, except for Kuzma and Caldwell Pope. They then moved them for Westbrook. The bubble then was not quite, but the deepest them since the 2009 Laker team. The coaches GM and players are all accountable for a team winning or losing.

Mccants and jennings with extremely insightful and high level breakdown the 1st 4 mins. Fuck what jj reddick says.

Y'all know Gil is on LBJ payroll, and one of his fanboys!

It’s crazy to me how the coaches get more blame & criticism than the actual players on the court. Darvin Ham last year took over a team with a disgruntled Westbrook and convinced him to come off the bench, had a brand new team at the trade deadline & made it all the way to the WCF, this year all of a sudden everybody hates him & he doesn’t know how to coach anymore? Bruh Ham didn’t force Austin Reaves to only have 2 decent games in the playoffs, he didn’t force AD to disappear every fourth quarter against Denver, he didn’t force Lebron to play iso ball & not play defense, the lakers had the FOURTH MOST INJURIES in the league this season, DLO played terrible to start the season which is why he was in trade talks, Rui disappeared in the playoffs on top of being an absolute CONE defensively, Gabe Vincent, Vando, & Wood never even got healthy enough to be factors all season Say whatever bullshit you want about “Timeouts” or “Challenges” or whatever minimal shit you can blame EVERY COACH for but the lakers lost to ONE TEAM these last two seasons a team that nobody else has beaten when it mattered but hey let’s ignore all that an hire the fourth coach in 7 seasons let’s find our 7th coach in 15 seasons 🫠 I’m so tired of the lakers man this LeBron tenure has been a shit show fr

I’ve seen interviews where Charles Barkley spoke on his past. He admitted he was wrong and why he did it. Gil’s take was wrong.

Barkley, on maybe occasions, has said that he has made many mistakes in his past.

50/50 coaches n players. Coaches get fired players get traded n cut

Stop blaming Barkley for keeping it real.and for the record he's always taken the blame for his losses.

Gilbert just proved Charles Barkley point

Rob palinka definitely needs to get fired.

Funny that Arenas is supporting Barkley's point without even realising it.

The real question is will they keep this same energy??

Did y'all roast Brandon Jennings for the artistic hairline? He needs to shout out his artist who is painting that hair!

gil we can still see that lebron kumstain on the edge of your lips 🤣🤣

Darvin Ham unexpectedly led the Lakers to the WC finals in 2023, led them to the In-Season tournament championship, and lost in the first round to the best team in the NBA and gets fired? Stupid.

I love how gil sits back and lets his co host get off💪🏾

“Has nothing to do with the coaches” is crazy 😂😂😂😂

Yeah fire ham and keep the same players watch you lose again

How many coaches has Lebron ran through in LA. I’d come to the conclusion these players are not coachable.

This what Barkley talking about. Gil can’t assess the situation because he to busy critiquing Old players . Assess the situation man.

Good conversation guy's!

I remember when everything was Ty Lues fault in Cleveland 😭😭 it’s the same thing every 2 years with this dude trade the entire starting 5 hire a new coach

This stamped it that Gil gotta personal beef with Barkley he sounded crazy the whole 12 mins 😂

Is Mr. I Brought A Gun Into The LockerRoom talking about do not talk if you were a problem?!?

Gil speaking hardcore facts!! This dude is a media legend!

All Gilbert’s points about Chuck were based on the fact he doesn’t like him.

Charles Barkley also did say, “Who ever upfront is putting these teams together needs to be fired” 😂 It always start with the organization. That’s why Miami can make deep runs with less

Gil is proving Chuck’s point. Gil is saying when Barkley lost, it was on him. He didn’t step up. That’s exactly what Chuck is saying now. Don’t blame the coaches. The players aren’t doing what they need to do.

even being from austria,i watched every laker game and charles is trippin ,if he seriously believe that ham is a decent coach,ham has decent game preparation ,but has no decent ingame adjustments and doesnt know when to call timeouts

I don't agree with Barkley all the time but he has said that things he's done as a player were wrong. He's taken accountability plenty of times. Gil comes off a little bit defensive.

Shoutout Mccants he's been getting in his Basketball IQ bag lately. I'm surprised he doesn't talk like this more often

THANK YOU: McCants at 2:46 says it all. No offensive system, no defensive system, couldnt set a starting 5, Time out Mis Management, no 2nd 1/2 adjustments.....COACH. Same with Vogle who we/Lakers let go too. Lakers faithful are not surprised at Phoenix. Same thing.

Darvin Ham, got out coached ,2 years in a row? By the same team? Hello?

I didn’t realize how big of a Lebron Stan Gil was until this episode 🤦🏾‍♂️ instead of acknowledging the point Charles was trying to make, he just started pointing fingers.

Gilbert Arenas calling Charles Barkley out when Gilbert Arenas never let a team to win a playoff series in his career

"A hit dog hollers" Barkley is blaming the Ownership for putting the pieces together. Great pieces of Puzzles don't always fit in the wrong places.

GREAT POINT GIL 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Please don’t question Barkley’s effort!!!!! He wanted a ring so left Philly, LeBron has moved around searching for rings????

2:36 mcants is hilarious the way he look towards Gil

THANK YOU GIL

Barkley saying Ham was doing a helluva job proves that Barkley doesn’t do his job

Next year same excuses more help fire the coach 😂

Yes, he’s a second year coach and he was going to make mistakes. My problem with him is that he never learned from his mistakes the same mistakes he made in game five were the same mistakes he was making in game 70. I’m glad he’s gone.

“Focus on the message,not the messenger first”

Charles Barkley was advertised as " not being a role model" he even had commercials saying this

This is the only time that I agree with McCants in total 💯 Stop your team from playing emotionally and get back to fundamentals. And it's unfair for Ggil to challenge Barkley like he wasn't that guy?

Charles has absolutely acknowledged and taken accountability for things shaked out for him on many interviews over the years. Hell he was just on uncle Shannon's podcast talking about his gambling problems. I love Gil's takes for the most part, but sometimes he hears only what he wants to hear regardless of what is said

Rashad with a GOAT level take at 8:15. You can trust the words of those who have seen the error in their ways.

Jennings turning into Rashad lmao

Haha na Rashad, ain’t nobody comparing you to Lebron smh.

If they showed the full clip Charles literally said “I know I messed up and did some things but…” lol I feel like barley always owns up to his bs

This is a lifetime when one must take responsibility and discover that with it comes greater freedom, shining a light on everything they are that was shoved under the rug of family circumstances and limitations.

Brandon Jennings’s head slim as hell pause 🤣

If you cut down this clip at the right moment you would think he was talking about himself in third person lmao

Why are you so focused on Barkley instead of what he said. All that shit you attacked him about has nothing to do with the statement he made

There could be several issues. Anything from the coaching style not matching the players style amd the system they play best in. Then I noticed many of the plays the teams was not engaged on going going after rebounds or switching on defense and fighting threw screens. They didn't have motivation and or drive most of the season. So when that happens you wonder what's going on to cause this. It could be the teams leadership positions like the GM or Owner. Could be the players themselves ain't motivated for certain reasons. Last is the chemistry. Some players fit everywhere however chemistry with a team that's been together for a few years is going to collaborate better then sone team that just got thrown together. This is a big difference on turnovers and the team working g together to read a defense.

GIL is not entitled to criticize Chucks career bro

Ham had terrible rotations he ran 3 and 4 Guard lineups rarely called timeouts what do you mean its not just on ham smh ham is easily the worst coach in the nba

To be fair, Charles repeatedly talks about regretting to hit fans and such. He always references his shortcomings as a player before he talks about the new gen

Gil after the hate speech he said the exact same thing Charles said … smh

Gil seems to have an issue with Chuck because he stands on his faults. He said he was out of shape and he couldn't get his team to win the championship.
