I totally agree with Rashad McCants's take on Jalen Brunson & Isaiah Thomas. It doesnt matter if you're not atheltic or tall as long as you get buckets. Short players are usually the most skilled and the best players on their squad.
@@robsmith6650their not that’s why the only small guards who led a team to a championship were steph and isaiah Thomas on the pistons. Steph is the greatest shooter of all time playing with another top 5 shooter of all time not to mention two of the rings involved kd and isaiah played on a team that took advantage of defensive rules and physicality that you can’t play with in todays game so they are anomalies
The unwritten RULES of debating clearly state that's if you are asked to answer a question with a YES or a NO and you fail to do so you automatically forfeit the debate.
I watched bball in Kenyon’s era and he has selective memory. Amare, Bosh, and Aldridge all gave him that work. Kenyon was a bad man too, mainly defensively. He wasnt Debo-ing the league like you would believe from watching the show.
Kmart my dawg but he treat his history of the game like the govt treat history. Let time pass and then try to retell it cause the younger people won’t know lmao bruh he was not locking amare and Bosh up like that
@@SeverancePay500 they won’t they to scared of him. For reference you can search on RU-vid right now amare spins off Kenyon for 2 hand dunk. Was that suppose to be his B move since he always takes away the A lmfao
clearly it goes over yo head..those dudes are studs at scoring lol but he saying he gave them dudes a problem...out of every pf in the league during that era kenyon def was the one you didnt wanna see on defense....not to say you wouldnt score 20 or better but it would be a challenge. not too hard to understand....lamarcus even mentioned how difficult it was to score on kenyon LOL
People change. I used to want K Mart gone even though I root for him but saying namsayin on repeat was annoying. He doesn't do that anymore. McCants used to come off as a pure hater but he doesn't as much anymore.
they are the 2 of the 5 best players in the world right now, not the same "superstars" as LeBron and Curry, hell no. ask non basketball fans who Giannis and Luka are, and then ask them if they heard about LeBron James
@@nerdheid7306that doesn't determine a superstar they are basketball players..you assess their superstardom off play on the court stats and accolades..nothing else matters but that
@@dceltics2461I agree with you but that’s not how they were talking about superstars…if it’s just basketball they are most definitely superstars but if they talking about world wide known and charisma (which is what they’re talking about) then Nawl
@@dceltics2461 see juanhose7052 reply, they listed Magic Iverson Kobe Tracy Vince Yao Ming Shaq these are global icons they are bigger than just basketball players. sure basketball wise, giannis jokic lukca are superstars they are better players than curry and bron right now. but thats NOT what they are talking about.
@@ThaRealXo being a superstar isn’t about accolades. It’s about carisma and aura. Steve Francis was a superstar. And he never won anything. Y’all don’t understand what he’s saying at all
@@ThaRealXo they aren't tho. Superstars can move merch, have a dynamic personality, and can be recognized outside of their profession by casual people. Think of it like this, what people in the NBA are known by people that are not fans of basketball? I have literal clients that don't know any of the last 3 mvps but know LeBron and Steph😅
I like McCants because he's down to earth and tries to be as honest and logical as can be. Not saying that he's 100% right all the time but he tries hard no to cap and keep it real.
Rashad trying his hardest to give Kenyon respect and be cool but it's truly as if Kenyon don't like him because Kenyon used to people bowing down in fear but Rashad hasn't back down and that urks Kenyon so bad but he respect him but respect doesn't always lead to buddy buddies ❤
Shut up. McCants is a clown that’s why KMart doesn’t like him. Y’all internet dude come up with dumbest shit. Rasheed don’t back down and Kmart likes him, why because Sheed isn’t a delusional clown.
Nah McCants say a lot of sh*t he don't actually believe (mainly for content) Kenyon knows him and probably sees some of it as 🤡 behavior. Y'all can talk as reckless as y'all want about KMart behind your WiFi; but nobody in these comments/chat or McCants want none of that smoke in real time😂😂. So just treat it as entertainment & keep it moving
Gil and Rashad have very different definitions of “superstar” 😂 Imo I agree with Rashad. I don’t think you can just base superstardom off of personality/marketability. Jokic, Giannis, and Luka are 3 of the top 5 players in the world right now and Gil is saying they’re NOT superstars? Jokic didn’t get back to back MVPs, a chip, and a Finals MVP to be called just a “star”
he's right tho i get what you're saying but a superstar have very little to do with what you accomplish that's just icing on the cake. a superstar is somebody that controls the room, has a glow of a aura and is impossible to ignore. all three of those guys hate the spotlight. you'll never catch them out at a non NBA gathering. only Lebron and Steph are superstars.
I feel like the nba not allowing the nba players to speak their mind on refs is the nba saying we don't give a f what you think , we are here to protect our refs , although our players are the only reason we here!
Ex Athletes (new media) really are arguing things I thought was meant for old media .. is Brunson a star , who’s a superstar, is Doc a good coach , is Jrue effective on defense.. like talk about basketball without constantly belittling ppl achievements
K Mart in his prime is underrated. The East was the weaker conference but Kenyon's strength, athleticism and defensive intellect made him a nightmare match -up. There's a reason the Nets of all teams went to 2 straight NBA finals. They lost to Shaq and Duncan for God's sake. He was literally instrumental in that teams success. Much respect from life-long Detroit Pistons fan.
I don’t think Gil knows that San Antonio is the 7th most populous city in the Country. One of it’s biggest industries is tourism it can never be a small market.
As far as NBA teams go, it’s not considered a big market team. New York, LA, Chicago and Boston are your big market teams, I would say Golden State is in there as well now, everything else is considered mid and small.
I love gill, i agree we just throw the word superstar out for players that aren’t. But giannis and Luka are deff superstars. Dame too, joker is just like Tim Duncan, they superstars that we just let be lolll.
@@Sunnyte_ on and off the court they are superstars. They’re recognized by things on & off the court but you’re right about marketability Russ is marketable but not harden rn. After this season he will be again
@@Sunnyte_ bro jokic is routinely like 14th in jersey sales every year, sometimes not even making top 15, harden has been 2nd in jersey sales before, and westbrook has been 4th. Jokic is one of the least marketable stars we've ever had, what are you on about 😂
Absolutely im a full blown mccants hater but he earned a fan in me today. Bad showing from gil today, had halfbaked arguments and flat out dumb and bias reasoning for his arguments which he usually does but im rolling. Today he just sounded dumb
Naw Gil made sense with his Super Star argument, ge admitted as good as he was, he didn't have the "IT" that Steve Francis did, but he was better than him as an NBA player
@1:40:00 that whole Star vs Superstar discussion is simple Superstar: Single player makes a team contender/Win -Lebron -KD -Steph -Kawhi -Giannis -Jokic And all of those guys move merchandise especially those on that list that are active on social media.
@@da11king Jokic is currently top 15 (14 to be exact) in NBA jersey sales. Ja Morant who Gil swore by was 11th even with all the social media hype surrounding him…..
The way they lowkey attacked Rashad after all he said about the Knicks was basically that they are playing good basketball and they have a chance to win a series is weird lol
The wisdom keeps going back to the fact money doesn't make you happy but having a purpose does! God never fails his word is true but the poor man can't accept wisdom so he has to go all the way around in circles because he has to see it to believe it but bless is the man who believes without having to lose his soul
The crazy thing is Mccants coined the MEGASTAR term yesterday & now Gil wants to run with it….YESTERDAY Gil said Luka, Tatum, Giannis, wasn’t even superstar that they was just in the lane but now today he using all of Mccants talking points lol
@@Louis-wx1fo never made an all defensive team. Probably politics though 🙄 and I didn’t say he couldn’t speak. He’s an nba vet ofc he can speak. But like I said she did he become this all world defender? Not that he wasn’t good, but you never hear his name in those conversations among other players
@@sjaykay9884but when he breaks down schemes or gives his opinion on how he would defend a current player or team, does it make sense/sound reasonable🤔 Dan Orlovsky wasn't a good NFL QB but his game/player analysis is pretty good. Hell Norris Cole was just a bench player journeymen and he definitely knows the game and can convey his knowledge while on camera. He wasn't known for nothing in the league, so do we not respect his analysis.🤔 It is what it is though.
K- mart my guy hunnid grand but he was a solid PF, not to low or not to high, right in the middle but there are atleast 7-9 PFs then him during his time .. TD,KG,Pau, Dirk, CWebb, EltBrand, Shareef, Sheed W, Lo (odom) J ONeal, Amare Stat, Bosh, LA I could keep going ..
As a kid to high school and aau stud once I lost basketball I went thru years of depression ! Tried selling drugs , sexing woman and working jobs ! But til this day nothing compares to the energy and status of being a hooper ! Til this day I wish I could rewind time and went wayyy harder and been way more committed
yo the long stare of "tf" that KMart gave McCants on the into is pure gold ong......and i saw someone in the chat say "ill take a million dollars in exchange for depression"....well some people have both.
That foolishness about players needing to go to a Big City to succeed at a certain level is the exact reason the NBA will Always be the NFL's little brother...
I'm sorry but who gets paid more?😂😂 which one is an Olympic event?😂 good try tho. You do realize if you have one good game for the cowboys then your all of a sudden "the next great"😂😂
@mikemars7888 NFL Salary Cap 250 Million vs NBA Salary cap 145 Million, who get paid more you tell me? NFL gets 30 Million Viewers vs NBA gets 4 Million viewers...
Gil was a superstar cut short by injury I agree with R Mc. You sold out arenas and had jerseys sales in every NBA city across the nation, opponent fans came to their home team arena with your jersey on to watch and root for you to defeat their home team dawg.
Superstars are great players/stars that can sell products, and get all star votes. There aren't that many superstars, but people always want to pretend that there's 15 in the league somehow.
@@darnarxzthat's because the definition is not objective, it's not found in the dictionary like the definition of water, by the definition you provided, jokic who recently got endorsed by a shoe brand and got into a commercial is a super star
