Gilbert Arenas RANKS NBA Superstars & SETS OFF The Arena 

Yep, if Jokic is not an consensus megastar then it’s simply an participation trophy

@@4363HASHMI I'm pretty sure Gil settled the record when he said Jokic wasn't a star but we need to get Rashad's question answered about is Tatum a superstar or is he in the hov lane

Always talking nonsense 😅

@@4363HASHMIbe honest joker isn’t a super star he is a super star in basketball fans but average person don’t know him everyone know Lebron and curry just the facts average person don’t know Luka joker embid Giannis like that

I think Giannis is a Mega Star, he is well known 😏

😂😂💯

😂😂😂😂😂

on god😂

Bro he’s so annoying like I love Kobe but sometimes even I’m like bruh stop there’s no way Kobe fucked with mccants like that. He only fucked with winners.

And you knew Kobe?

Ant will be mega

@@DaveyjdigitalAnt will never be a megastar even though he’s good enough to be the best player on a championship team. Only 5 guards in NBA history are megastars. Jerry. Magic. Michael. Kobe. Steph. Ant won’t be the 6th.

Nigga there’s only 2 real mega sTars and thats kobe and mj The rest are known bc they play basketball

@@thsu8 ant can definitely become a megastar you’re bugging bro’s young give him time curry wasn’t even that crazy his first few years it comes in time

​@thsu8 ai was a mega star without winning a ring.... harden is known by non hoopers in Hip-hop...Dwade...

Seems like it 😂😂😂😂

I really like how rashad doesn't let gilbert arenas get away with anything he doesn't say yes to all his bs I'm all for it dude funny af😂😂😂

It’s called Balance, gotta have 1 go against the grain

Me too lol I like how he is a heal character o the show ut isn't weasel dude has a great personality

Bro I can’t stand him but he’s the reason I watch

Giannis is not a mega star. Stop it

​@@Avg_Vet Giannis is near to be a Mega Star. People overseas who are not into basketball they already started to recognise who he is even knowing his name is not easy to spell

Gianis isn't no where near mj LeBron Kobe curry magic

Actually he surpasses Steph this year with 5. Because Steph I think only has 4 first team selections max and maybe even 3.

@@Avg_Vet Giannis is third in line tho. He has a chance to become a megastar and if he played in a bigger market, he probably would be. He's not there yet, but he's on the path. Luka ain't it though. On the court he's a superstar, but there are no non-basketball fans who know who Luka is outside of his home country.

💯 smh 🙄

They were literally talking about every category lol

They did talk about mega stars

@@jonathanfulton4243they wasn’t tho , they did not mention mega star, dawg slid the goal post again

He always lies. He's a narcissist.

Goin by Gil’s definition of superstar there’s only been 4-8 in league history yet he named fuckin Steve Francis, that’s my only issue

@@AceTheCap823i feel like gil and brandon weren’t going based on game but your aura and presence like we know jokic is better than almost anyone rn but his marketing isn’t even as great as murray his teammate or lamelo or anthony edwards

To be a Megastar you have to do more then just be good at basketball. Your presence and influence has to carry weight outside of the regular nba fan. To be a megastar you have to have a WORLDWIDE effect.

​@AceTheCapo823 i love Gil but I no longer respect his opinion after that one 😂

@@cwavvvy3450 wit Jokic that might be true goin by that logic. But Giannis definitely meets that criteria by every metric

When you get referred by your first name then you’re a megastar, to me. Even Steph has been called by his birth name (Wardell) before.

the difference between mega and superstar isn’t there actual game but how appealing it is to watch and there aura and presence in the country they play in which just happens to be the United States

​@@cwavvvy3450 if you think Giannis isn't a megastar in the states and worldwide u on krak

@@IknowMoreThanYou i didn’t say i agreed with every player they said i don’t believe jokic is but it’s not because of his ability i do believe giannis is tho

​@@cwavvvy3450 ya that's why they're sus af everyone knows jokic has no outside appeal besides his ability, but trying to lump the leading ASG vote getter with someone who gets picked last outta the starters is wild work

@@IknowMoreThanYou nah i wouldn’t use jersey sale and all star voting metrics as what I go by eye test and other stats would prolly be better

Transcend means outside basketball aka the world, most of this dude you mentioned are unknown, Mike,Kobe,Lebron and Steph are known to the rest of the world

By your definition... Kareem is not a megastar. Dr J inspired more people to watch the NBA than Kareem.

Not Kareem, Barkley, Bird and Magic those 4 only big in American Globally it's Jordan, Kobe, Lebron, Curry that's it

U get that through time from reputation of your work. Lot these guys are just entering they prime and u have no idea what they will accomplish.

Lmaaaooooo Giannis is literally a worldwide megastar Jordan Kobe Steph Giannis

And that’s why they have Rashad but I agree with a lot of his points.. but they try to make him out to be the “dumb don’t know what he talking about” member of the show

@@ChampHerebecause he is dumb and doesn’t know what he is talking about most of the time.

Sometimes he is, sometimes he just annoying to be annoying

​​@@ChampHerehe makes himself seem like that, he go on being hella annoying saying "stat man, stat man" and then turn around and try to use stats for his arguments. Dude is not to be taken seriously in this show

Idk if Gil was lying about this but he does blatantly lie on the show

You stupid

people don't realise this applies to steve francis too...

Yeah. Everybody knows shaq oversease. Even he has been a good actor. Is like saying Will Smith is not a Mega Star

Facts

And he’s still not wrong . That’s actually what it is . Curry bron are the face and everyone else falls where they fall.

I thought the same thing, but after thinking about it I don’t think so. I’m around AAU and Highschool hoopers. Ask anyone who there favorite players are and you will almost never hear Giannis name mentioned. His game isn’t sexy or something young kids want to imitate or be like.

​@@ItIsDesssthe game of basketball is far bigger than AAU kids dude. The endorsements to the all star fan voting and jersey sales all say he is a superstar/megastar in the league.

Crazy thing is. What ever Gil was reading out on his phone. It litterally called Giannis a Mega Star.

@@thelastquincy1457 Giannis is a superstar only lebron and curry are megastars. Casual fans know lebron and curry but not Giannis

@@willjohnwick6911 u don't know many casual fans then dude.

Gil moves the goal posts 😂

This been known for years yall Must be new to sports

Basically

It’s a reason why a “name” would take their talents overseas. The show, shows how many high skilled players can be overlooked because of Americas Bias Opinion of what “OUR” Mega Star should look like…. Its all a joke and honestly truly opinionated. Rashad is totally right to argue the” says who”?

They take their talents overseas cause they’re not good enough to be in the NBA….wtf bs are you taking about kid 😂

Of course American players are going to be more popular in America.

Such an american thing to say 😂😂😂​@@YouReallyDontKnow

the HOV is bigger than superstar is his point

for some reasaon i feel like u are just like rashad. gil said he wasnt a megastar there can only be 2 at a time IE magic and bird. Therefore if lebron and steph are maega stars right now than tatum cant be so he isnt, however he is in the HOV lane. so like gil said when lebron retiires tatum will become a mega star'

the context was that he has his blinkers on turning into the HOV lane. he has the package to be a superstar/mega, the credentials is still being built to become that

Gill can do anything and everything, except admit when hes wrong

Gil be Michael Jackson spinning when he get caught in his bs logic

I think u mean "And here..we...GO"

Smh a casual calling someone else a casual …

@@realamerican8069 I ain't the one embarassing myself online saying that players with MVPs and chips ain't superstars. This bozo Gil called Steve Francis, fucking Steve Francis a superstar. Get the F outta my face.

@@realamerican8069 I ain't the one embarassing myself online saying that players with MVPs and chips ain't superstars. This man Gil called STEVE FRANCIS a superstar... Get the F outta my face.

@@HopefulNihilist The point flew completely over your head.. if you don’t know about Steve Frances than yes you are a casual

@@realamerican8069 If you unironically think Steve Francis was a superstar no opinion you have regarding the NBA matters.

Lmfao that was nasty

He was joking 😂

because there are constant bad takes being spewed

Only when it is lebron for gil

i dont think they are. theres always been superstars and then faces of the league. The faces of the league has always been the top tier. they are just labeling it differently

it was simpler when there was superstar in the hov lane something to do with superstar (seems to be the category also known as teetering) I think Morant and Tatum were in this category, maybe Giannis? I'd have to go back and check and then there are stars and all stars (allstars are obvious, because it's whoever makes the allstar game)

super stars were the faces...its ok to be a GOOD player...it's not offensive to be good and not super@@juliovega1222

i dunno, i just feel like theres super stars, good players, and role players...ya know? maybe a few god tier lol but still@@justanobody0

Mega stars are guys who transcend the game like Lebron, Steph, Kobe, Shaq, Magic, Bird, Kareem, Barkley, Jordan. The rest of these dudes as good as they are, just superstars.

He's already a megastar. He's the most popular nba player amongst the fans by all star vote, a household name in every country in the world and this is DESPITE the NBA media being AGAINST him (espn, perk, Stephen A, gil, shannon Sharpe, Channing Frye wtc.,) with their bron placed cronies for YEARS now. Imagine if ESPN actually gaf about him and reported on him like they did for bron in his prime? active campaign to give it to lesser talented Americans.

@@IknowMoreThanYou Giannis isn't a worldwide household name...

Just Greece and and American

I didn’t know that was Shai the first couple times I saw his commercials guarantee the casual definitely not putting 2 n 2 together

@@julesjohnson5481the fact that people don’t know the differences is blowing my mind

KD too

@@CheJulian KD only has one regular season mvp.

It’s about TV coverage, they’re not talking about small market teams unless Lebron, KD or Steph is on them

@@greyyb8860 They need to start. In the last ten years 5 of those teams have been from small markets.

The mannerisms crazy too 😂

Maddddddd Zesty 🎉

Josiah’s laughs fuel him

Naa he was giving valid points 💯

No he don’t y’all nigga weird

Gil really be making sh*t up on the spot. I used to get fooled by his unique takes and analysis of the game, thinking he was smart...but i started to realize he's basically just full of sh*t at all times 😂

He’s literally differentiated between mega and superstar a million times in both convos 😂😂 y’all gotta either be slow or bitter lol

He said last episode bron and curry are the only 2 superstars

@@jonathanfulton4243 People be having no comprehension, don't know they have no comprehension, then be saying it's you!

With the new definition: megastars being what he meant by real superstars. 2 megastars

At this point, Rashad is just here to troll Gilbert and Gilbert be taking him seriously lmao.

Facts... thats exactly how i judge it.. like fa real... if my grandmother knows who u are then ur a megastar... and she doesnt watch sports at all... she knows Curry..Lebron... Mj....Dr J... Magic...Bird...Shaq

Same. The only players she knows my lifetime is Kobe, Shaq, Wade, Bron, and Curry

You are right I use my family members as the metric 😂

I would say Wilt, Kareem, Magic, Mj, Shaq, Kobe, Lebron, Steph, even a foreigner in their era not into basketball much would recognize them.

Doesn't make it a bad example, rather it just means Marbury is in the conversation too...

A bitter Baby mother

How

Why, because he don't let gil get away with nonsense

@@evenebrown7353 but every episode tho c’mon

hes the only that opposes the bs that gil spews but since you guys like gil you say stuff like this

Yep u are right. When I was kid I remember seeing Grant Hill all over everything they were marketing him heavily.

Thank you i lowkey be agreeing with him i feel he was correct this whole video

#6 is retired too by every team in the NBA but they say Bill Russell not a Mega Star

I was looking for this comment 😂

I think this is showing that they cant. Rashad sometimes has odd viewpoints but Gil inability to ever admit being wrong or to let anyone have a difference of opinion from him without being insulted and mocked is kinda wild. And Luka jersey sales at 6 is amazing. Dude is a superstar that's going to be a megastar. He is insanely popular overseas and is now incredibly popular hear aswell. And many folks might not find his game as attractive as a uber athlete but that's what will make him a megastar, ability to somewhat relate cause most people aren't freak athletes and play his style outside or in gyms. When Curry was just shooting threes from 2009 to about 2014 nobody could have predicted dude would be a megastar and yet here we are. He is relatable and now everyone wanna play like Curry. Gil hates foreign players so much. Greek Freak is a mega star, his Nike shoes selling really well (especially for a big that plays his style) proves it and he has been in top 5 jersey sales last few years.

You spitting a lot of facts.. my only push back would be your take on Luka being more relatable than super athletic guys.. I disagree.. he’s 6’8-6’9.. that’s not relatable at all

@@10eightyprince yeah his height definitely an advantage most don’t have, but if we being honest most people we play at the gym with, at the park or a rec league usually aren’t that size but I have seen so many people play like him (ofc not at his level) that it’s just a more familiar style if u ever used to play or still do. I have only played maybe 5 times in my life with someone where I thought omg this is NBA level athleticism. And no matter what you do or how many squats you do or calf raises, you gotta be born with that. But yeah that being said Luka is like 6’7 and rather quick for his size compared to an avg player. It’s like how Curry might be relatable, but there’s nobody that shoots like him and he like 6’2 also lol.

I'm a Carolina fan who LOVES VC but you are still speaking only about bball fans. That country is still a majority Hockey one even when VC was in his prime there. So he didn't "change" it. If you take personal feelings out of it the clear difference that you can test yourself is to go out and ask any random non nba fan teenager who Shaq is then ask them if they know VC? Ask them if they know Kobe or VC? Mega star vs superstar isn't really an objective thing in my objective opinion lol. Btw, not saying you are in your feelings about it or anything. Not trying to be disrespectful.

@@Solo2121 No offense taken, I agree with you it was still a hockey country when he was here. He didn't change it right away, It was the kids growing up watching Vince and the impact came about 10-15 years later. Not a big enough deal to argue either side on a Friday night. Have fun! Cheers!

Gil's just hating. How is Giannis not a "Megastar" when he has his own shoes and a movie? lol Gil must've forgot that he named Ja Morant in the same teir as Curry and Bron, but he left GIannis out when Ja aint even in the top 10 for jersey sales

Durant definitely is too without a doubt but yeah those are the only Megastars.

With that logic if my grandma doesn't know Lebron , he's not a mega star.

@@3self yeah you clearly don’t comprehend too well. 9 times out of 10 if you ask someone who knows absolutely nothing about NBA and doesn’t pay attention to it at all, if they do mention a name it would be one of those 3. Their are well known off the court more than any other players in the league. That’s why they would be considered Megastars

😂 Luka ain’t even close

*Megastar and it was literally right after he said can't nobody tell me I'm not. Lmao

@@derrickhoward1543 why would he even say that😂😂I’m surprised Gil ain’t say anything

Inconsistency and controversy over Kyrie's mouth and actions.. The main reason is because basketball is a team sport and everything he is valued for has to do with his individual skillset. But he is more of a detriment than an asset to a team structure. If you think about every compliment towards Kyrie, it's about his individual game. But we rarely cover wins because of his performance. Jumping teams also hurt his reputation along with his comments about Jewish people. It's why he gets passed up for things like the Olympics and decline in Jersey sales.

Lol this is the definition of a superstar. And I'm a Carolina fan who LOVES VC. But a mega star is a mega star anywhere in the world. If you have to say he was a mega star "here" then... you get it.

Vince led the league in all star votes 4 straight years@@Solo2121

Because he isn’t

@@ronhawkins1824how?

stardom has nothing to do with talent or achievements to be honest. Even Jimmy Freddet was a bigger star than most nba champion players for a while.

​@franciscogobantes1320 man that jimmer fredette hype was something special lol. Great white hope

He’s only a superstar in the playoffs
