Gilbert Arenas DESTROYS Team USA's Final Roster 

What he say?

Kenyon was trying to FUCKING tell them and they still didn't listen or try to listen. Crazy...

@@MikeyBee- He said Kyrie wouldnt make the team. Not because of his talent but because of the stuff he's done off the court. They weren't thinking globally like Kenyon was. They werent hearing him AT ALL.

I remember smh!!!

If they feel like Kyrie’s been a distraction before and would rather play someone who’s not, is that not their right? Not seeing the issue with this

💯

Facts

What did he say??

@@aaronroibeardeveryone assumed kyrie would make it but he told them that the panel who selects would see the controversy tied to his name and not allow him to play for team USA even tho he’s a top talent.

Agreed. The comparison Gil made between Steph & Jrue didn't really make sense. This is team USA not the Warriors. If Steph doesn't have it going they can get scoring from other players on this team.

I think that's the point he's making though. The Olympic's are supposed to be the best players from the country. Now they're just building a team with role players? Jrue is an amazing player but hes not even in the top 20 of best players.

Disagree we got defense don’t need him 2 more scorers and star power what’s needed this team USA not a regular nba team bro they all need to be able to takeover a game when needed and catch fire and score 30 on any given day

@@stevenking2581 First thing, have you ever heard of a punctuation mark in your life? Second thing is, this team doesn't "need" anything. Yes you can nitpick certain players, but this team have enough offense and defense to win.

that doesnt matter, being a good defender depends on the level you are playing kyrieand steph are realy solid in international level, there is not much man to man, they play full court zone press and half court zone and sometimesmixed where they start with man to man and suddenly switch to zone...and vice versa....

😂😂😂😂 for real

Can't wait till Kenyon gets back 🤣

They played dumb then😂😂😂. The truth is the truth. The powers that be don't give a F what Kyrie can do on the court!!!

​@@Jblaze2k9Kyrie was blackbakked like the NBA blackballed allen iverson in 2008

Kenyon next time he’s on Gil’s arena: 🐸☕️

Exactly and it’s for the exact reason he said ; USA we suppose to have freedom of speech but that ain’t it clearly

I was gonna post this but I'm glad someone already had

I wonder if they will let Kenyon speak in it. He is probably tired of being right and doesn't care 😂

They want two way players

@@TerpsMatterPodcast EVRYBODY ON THE TEAM IS TWO WAY PLAYERS ; BRO YOU GO STEPH KD TATUM AD LEBRON EDWARDS PLUS MORE AND YOU TALKIN ABOUT 2WAYS PLAYERS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He wears Nike stuff right now in Dallas?

✡

Curry ain't about Nike. The real reason is can Kyrie be controlled? Will he say things that are controversial? Just realize the Olympics is just about da money. Are they good for ratings, will they be good little flag wavers, is all that they think about when making a team they can monetize.

@@arizjonesyeah they can't control him so they left him off the Olympic team lol. That's why he's still in the NBA and gets a huge platform via press coverage every year. The NBA is in it for the money too. Why do they let him continue to be in the league and get coverage if he's such a liability...

@@drago2689because he doesn’t actually say bad things.

It's legit

why

He is embarrassing

Right lol

They swore he didn’t know what he was talking about lol

He sure did!

I mean Kyrie isn’t a better playmaker than haliburton at PG … it’s enough scorers & holiday is perfect cause we need defense

Yep

Ong😂😂😂

Bro had me on the floor the only time he ain’t piss me off when he talk 🤣🤣🤣

The minute load will already be managed to 20.

Kawhi gone be just fine. Nobody saying anything about street clothes AD

@@user-te7no3ut2rad played all year and balled 2 btw

Hahahaha what makes you think any team wants Simmons to play for them? He is hurt AGAIN

They can critically think. Idk if you even need to critical thinking skills to understand why 😆

@@shafiaahmad4061 they trying to create a basketball conversation out of it..bothers me it’s like they being paid to do this Stevie wonder knows why he ain’t on the team and it ain’t basketball related

Cause he didn't want to have a heart attack like bronny?

What did K-Mart say?

Huge factors play into why, at curry’s career height he was going to the playoffs every year, building the dynasty so he had no time for distractions. And then remember PG13’s gruesome injury was during Olympic tryouts, that drove ALOT of players away from participating

@@ngbthelabel7186bullshit dynasty my ASS… CURRY AINT WHAT WE MAKE HIM TO BE…

most players were going to the playoffs every year what are u talkin bout😂. u think curry was the only player goin to the playoffs or somethin during team usa?😂​@ngbthelabel7186

@@ngbthelabel7186Lebron went to like 9 or 10 straight finals. 🤷‍♀️

What did he say?

He said based off the controversy around kyrie and ja they wouldn’t be on the team and Gilbert was trying to argue based off how talented and loved kyrie is in the nba Kenyon was saying that the controversy was so much bigger than basketball that it didn’t matter if everybody in the nba organization wanted kyrie, the Olympic committee will veto the idea 100000%

@@ngbthelabel7186he also said draymond but i felt jrue holiday deserves to win a gold medal so i can see why they put him on the team he’s someone everyone likes

@@darnellwilliams8783he wasn’t it was optics everything is optics u can’t be a fuck up & be rewarded even if it is bullshit

Didnt he say they used to do try outs in 2012 but this year they didnt ?

@@chrishaswell4405 yeah i mentioned that in my comment.

Yeah he was right behind Ant as the top performers. Maybe can say he was 3rd but not beyond that.

well said

just say the word "europe" and gil is immediately triggered

Watch how many blowouts there are in these olympics.. The best euro team is gonna have 1 star on it. 2 max

When you want that cake and you want to eat it too. Well said

@@HighwayMercCanada finna have, Wiggins, Shai, Jamal Murray , RJ Barrett Tristan Thompson and shaedon sharpe tf is u talking about

It goes even further he actually played for USA and was the 2nd best player on the team him and KD carried to gold he also took a starting spot after 1 game which was 24hrs after getting off a plane this is why people should watch and not listen to people who just talk and don't watch games

They don’t realize the last Olympics team Jrue was the second best player and they won gold. Dame was choking and Kd/jrue carried them

Jrue shouldn't be on this team. I don't think Bam should be on this team either 🤷‍♂️

@@cwhitt8110you need some defense on the perimeter, there are enough scorers.

@ADAJ3KINGANGEL We don't need defense. If they can't defend us, we win. Plus Lebron, KD, Ant, Kawhi, Tatum r solid perimeter defender, then u have AD and Embiid at the rim🤷‍♂️

I get excited every time he's on the show tbh. He adds a really interesting energy and always has something funny to say

TRUE STATEMENT. It’s like he embarrassing us as a culture as NBA fans 😂, knowing he 🧢 …

nah he the funniest guy on the pod

Funny or stupid??? There’s a difference..

Looking like a super mario brother

That mf big as hell lookin like a hood super Mario mascot 😂

He would look weird for doing that. Him being so adamant acknowledging bullshit racist cancel culture really pissed me off a few months back. There’s no reason Kyrie shouldn’t be on the team and Morant is hurt so that’s a mute point anyway….

@@1anth who cares how you felt get out of your feelings. He told why they wouldn't have him on the team. That's it.

@@1anthso if your brother did some mook shi repeatedly, your gonna reward that behavior? You dont gotta be a “rider” for everything bruh…

@@1anthfacts Them k!tes just mad kyrie spoke the truth

Correct and they need someone who isn’t worried about scoring. Taking him off the Bucks has hurt them.

Nobody gives a ____ about defense

Which is why they took that L the last time we saw team USA

Nahh, you got Tatum embiid bron kd Edwards ad bam kawhi . You don’t need more defense at the guard position . Just fill it up with the all stars that’s it

Kyrie should replace him

Right he played better than Dame

Dame and Kyrie way better

@@Stoner420Za Jrue is a defensive player.. I'm aggravated that kyrie was not included too

@@Stoner420Zanot better defenders. they dont need their scoring.

Exactly. You can tell most people didn't watch the games and just comparing their NBA stats

All black players should sit the Olympics out!! Let them 🐷 play!!

@@ronaldroberts9555over jrue lol your basically giving tony Allen an Olympic spot over all nba guy

​​@@ronaldroberts9555holiday or leanard

@@yahiaali4059 that’s reasonable. I also don’t mind Jrue on the team. They have all the offense in the world. Jrue is gonna be tasked with defense only and is a big glue guy.

@@yahiaali4059insanity. I’m not even the highest on the Jrue but he’s the type of connector and defender you need on a team like this. They have enough guys who can put the ball in the hoop, especially for a slower paced fiba game. Jrue carried in 2021.

DEFENSE you goof, ever heard of it? They need Jrue for his DEFENSE. I'll say it again one more time, dumbass. DEFENSE.

DEFENSE, you dum***s, ever heard of it? They need Jrue for his DEFENSE.

Which is bs this should not be political.

defense you tard

Are you crazy. Defense wins games, always. They have enough offense.

They don't have enough

@@gollygeology dude they literally have the best of the best. I'm sure you could've replaced like 1 or 1 but still come on lol

@themarkl0813 @gollygeology I understand that defense wins, but like I said how much will one team (having the majority of the best players in the world) need. Yall acting like each country roster is the monstars/dream team. Lets be fr.

​@@MusicHead4041I mean you're kinda just proving the point that they don't really need Kyrie either. How much scoring do they really need? Haliburton adds some elite playmaking and Jrue is the only elite defensive guard on the squad.

So he’s a prophet for voicing and being a cheerleader for racist cancel culture against fellow black men for doing absolutely nothing wrong 😂 Kenyon a clown for that…

Embiid glass body ass barely getting thru the playoffs lol

nah, tatum instead of AD

@@cesarbarbosa8875 nah AD better

Nah not AD and embiid they need spacing so it’s gona be Tatum or Kawhi

Tatum over AD goofy. They don’t need 2 bigs out there.

Because Kenyon was weird as shit for contributing and being so adamant about bullshit, racist cancel culture They’re trying to put Kyrie through when it wasn’t that deep.

​@@t-raw4316foh. Kyrie is him

Forgive my ignorance did he want to be on the team

@@horemmars yes he did

Somehow Gil didn’t realize the world caught up in 2004

​@thsu8 not true at all... alot of stars didn't play in '04.. Kobe, Tmac, KG, Shaq and J kidd were 1st team all nba that year too..

Zero international players on all 3 All-NBA teams in 96. Now it can easily be half international.

@@HobieMorales I thought Tim Duncan was a top 10 player of all-time according to most of you NBA fans. How did Duncan plus MVP Iverson plus All-Stars at every position lose to his teammate Manu's Argentina team? I know Kobe KG Shaq Kidd LeBron Wade Melo didn't play. Argentina had three NBA players. Why did we need our best team to beat three NBA players?

4/5 1st team all NBA will be international. Jokic, Giannis, Luka, SGA

It’s not hate. There’s just other bs against certain players. Ky offense is way too good with someone like Lebron steph and ad….it would be like 2016 again. Even though jrue is good but some players offense is so much better that they still can win without defense!!!

I would rather Jaylen Brown.

People want to see the best stars at their position

​@@mikeking9061exactly bigger and younger

@@mikeking9061you really tripping know Brunson over Brown

He literally was on the Fiba team

Forreal lol. And they swear not to know why he wasn’t picked 😂

Hopefully we do. I’d love to see this L on Bron and Steph’s resume.

@@thsu8 Why? You hate that much? It won't happen with KD and Embiid AND AD AND Curry in there. Hate them all you want but they don't lose those close games with that many great shooters. Curry will get his looks from 3. Lebron will pick and choose but will be mostly a facilitator as well as Holiday and Haliburton. Booker will have to have a better run than last Olympic run.

@@zaynes5094 Yes, I hate that much. At least I'm honest about it. It's embarrassing that Embiid is even playing for us. That's pathetic and even you would admit that.

Embiid played in the play in on Wednesday.

Well Booker is taller, can score just as much and has already contributed to a gold metal for them in the last Olympics. You could say Brunson has gotten better compared to last year but the fact still stands that one proved he could be on the team and win while the other didn’t yet. It was a no brainer he’d be chosen. Honestly in my opinion I just think it’s a hight thing with how they choose these players. Only a few exceptions were given when it comes to the Olympics but those exceptions were specific needs like Chris Paul for example. You can even look at a guy like Trea Young who barely got a practice roster spot due to that.

@@aisosaobano7038 I like the breakdown

Booker is way better than Brunson, stop it

Because kyrie is better than Tyrese, he’s a better shooter and scorer all across the board and he’s less ball dominant and he’s also a better defender and you also don’t need jrue when over half the team is good at defense and that’s not even including lebron who’s solid when he puts effort.

⁠@@abtocool6350why would you need another scorer? You have KD Steph Tatum Booker and Kawhi. He only better at scoring than 2 of those guys maybe 3 but those other guys can play defense and are less ball dominant than he is

@@abtocool6350he not better than Hali tho. 😂 yal gotta stop watching highlights and actually watch the games

KD has sway in the olympic selection committee but kyrie broke his trust

@@marshallchristopher1304 Nike and the IUIC is the reason Kyrie is not there period. They’re not giving him the platform of the world for him to say go watch Hebrews to Negroes🔥

@@marshallchristopher1304 Nike and the IUIC is the reason why not the players. They don’t want Kyrie on the world stage talking about Hebrews to Negroes🔥

Factsss

@JayBlazingProphecy Bro you're insane to think this. With Curry, Bron, AD, Embiid, AND KD I think they're going to destroy everyone when they get the chemistry.

@@zaynes5094 insane for saying the obvious? Every player you named need rest this summer. They MIGHT win it all but it will be the younger players that drive the whip.
