Gilbert Arenas UNVEILS The NBA's Bold Expansion Plans 

Really?😂

Ouch! 🤕

🧐OH Sh*T! That's embarrassing ! Them civilian numbers!

@@xKingKB7x yup, you can look it up statmuse easily. There was one more game but McCants did not play but couldn’t find an exact reason why. The result of that game was 11/17/2006 - LeBron 37pts McCants DNP 😂

Also his eternal allegiance to Kobe, and maybe he just doesn't think 4-6 with no bag is GOATED.

Real question is would they go back to being the super sonics with the same jerseys cuz that's what I'd wanna see

Bro u slow asf 😂😂😂adding two west coat cities how tf u gonna put them in the east u dh

There’s no space is wat his saying u would have to move 2 teams out of the west to the east u dumb fuck

The play in and the in season Tournament are the dumbest things ever created

Do away with that mess. You go the whole season to get 8th and you STILL have to play a game to keep it?! Nah

@sidjones16 yea it's dumb as shit, this era of basketball don't care about nothing lol ....in season tournament, play in, traveling and carrying constantly, took physicality out of it, if u fart mid game u get ejected, if u even look upset u get a tech, no defense these days, all star games scoring 568 points, and stars teaming up instead of wanting to face each other, 400 three pointers a game...sad, basketball has really changed for the worst!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I played football in mexico city people in the country could bet its realky over blown mexico just like anywhere else you do to much you gonna get got nobody on my team that was american never felt endangered

Facts that’s why I can’t wait to see what happens when the soccer World Cup goes to North America in 2026 and has their games in Mexico

Mexico City is the largest city in in North America. It’s got its problems but it’s not as dangerous as people think. There are plenty of international companies and opportunities

as long as mexico is the drug and murder capital of the world they are never getting a team.

Every ep feel like this😂

That cincy education

Only one of these guys actually went to math class

I think he means by taking out two, you’d have to take two team and move them to the east seeing as Seattle and LV are no where close to the eastern conference and would make more sense to be in the west

​@@christopherantoine9657 so the Grizzlies and Wolves would both go East. Minny is practically one state over from Milwaukee lol

Lmao. Nah, he mixed himself up. He was saying you got 30 but Adam silver named 4 teams instead of 2 that's why he said 34. But the panel said the two likely will be Las Vegas and Seattle

@mical2great and they are for sure just civilians!!! Wtf? NBA players are awesome but come on now.

Brody you were always a civilian

@@greenlightprint nigga we ALL are civilians tf 🤣🤣

They act like they fought in Afghanistan.

Shit had me rolling. KMart said it himself he a asshole. Shit as a former D1 defensive lineman (graduated in 2015, and I'm currently 31 with 3 kids and a wife) me and the boys in our group chat still refer to normal people (fuckin civilians) as NARP's (Non athletic real person)

Enjoy the leftist ideologies and politics. That’s what having non traditional values gets them

​@@blackout2430versus right wing policy that keeps minimum wage under ten bucks an hour for some of their states? Sundown towns that thrive in red states.

I hate it Being a Raider fan from. MEMPHIS I loved hitting games in Oakland it was real home field advantage. Vegas is Beautiful but not home.

Go woke you go broke and infrastructure crumbles around you.

@@jrelgran1on1home field advantage equals wins. Raiders always lost in Oakland lol

Hell no Memphis and New Orleans. I get why Minnesota but they on that threshold. New Orleans and Memphis like 5 hours apart.

Nah you only have to move one to the east. If you moved two then the west would stay at 15 teams whereas the east would have 17. If you move either Memphis or Minnesota while West gets Seattle and LV, then both conferences effectively add one team

Only one team can go. It’s Memphis.

Either way it’s Memphis. I appreciate geographical accuracy. I hate Memphis being associated with west or Midwest. We the mfn SOUTH! So Memphis should be in the eastern conference when you split the nation in the center

It was like when the braves and the reds were in the mlb west in the old days

I don't think so. Vegas is a nomad town, everybody in there is from somewhere else, so no allegiance to their new City and just too much going on to worry about the Las Vegas Demons vs Washington Wizards on a Saturday afternoon

​@@elliotness11I think you're underestimating the locals and not considering the impact of potential success. Just look at the Golden Knights in the NHL, they've made the playoffs in six of their seven years of existence including two trips to the finals and a championship last year. The result? Their average attendance numbers have yet to dip under 18000 in an arena that maxes out at 17500 for a hockey game, so just imagine what an even remotely competitive NBA team could do...

Left because billionaires are greedy

@@selfishstockton6123their love for basketball is different. They produce pros on a tier below cali and the most poppin places. Fan base is die hard too, they could join next year and not be last in revenue and shit like that, guaranteed

@@selfishstockton6123honestly arguable they produce pros on the top tier like cali and Texas

Agreed

Why tf do you write like that?

I agree that legit catapult Vegas as number 1 while Seattle is now a close 2 and I want Seattle to claim theirs first before Las Lebron gets his

😂😂😂😂😂 facts

​@jiovanysoltero923 curious why does everyone want Seattle to have a team so bad? Do they have a distinct basketball culture? I feel like nothing is poppin there.

@@MrDiplomatSwagyes they do and obviously you hate basketball…Seattle has a CRAZZZY basketball culture

😂😂😂😂

They really are out here. Used to be if it aint tied down they take it. Now even if its bolted down they taking it.

Its real crazy in Oakland my wife is from there and has family still there. She recently visited she said she not in a rush to go back.

Ya in LA they also take copper wire out of street and freeway lights and out of this new bridge they built in LA and also funeral gravesite headstones

@@jimbobfisher8904 they taking the copper wires out the tesla charging stations too

Glad I wasn’t the only one who caught that lmao

They really think grizzlies leavin the city 😂

Folks reeeeally want Nashville to have everything!

They see Memphis not a business city at all shit the real 1s know 901 done with a NBA team

@@maneiloveyall3672 yap yap yappin

@@maneiloveyall3672lol irony of this comment

🔥

Its not really funny...

That's a 🔥🔥 team name

That fits on many levels. I like it

What did he mean by that exactly?

Miami and Toronto for sure, the rest are ass

@@demarcdegasolOrlando has gon to the finals twice as an expansion team. And were a playoff team for that Dwight and Shaq era

One would have to be a city with nearly a million

Yeah, an NBA team in Baltimore would be interesting. Plus, them and the Wizards could be a new NBA regional rivalry

That's too many teams... The league is already kind of watered down as it is. You add more teams, you create more load management issues, and then you got to deal with more travel and all of that. Just add the two new teams and that's it. 32 NBA teams is good enough

@86byrdman Yeah but 🇺🇸 is so big man... with so many 1million+ cities that can sustain multiple professional teams imo

@86byrdman maybe introduce a second league... NBA 2

@@robertclaessens3676 That's true, yeah. Some of these markets could support an NBA team

@86byrdman edit "some" to "most" and we good 😅

Exactly. The same thing they said against MJ they approving now.

It won’t water down the Lewis if anything it would make it more competive because that would mean less teams would be stacked and more balanced

Seattle and KC or stl , no Vegas

@@irvingzeistman9828Vegas is almost certain to be one of them.

Nah Vegas and Montreal would be dope

Move OKC back to Seattle. Add Vegas and New Jersey.

​@@irvingzeistman9828nah Seattle and Vegas hands down, then KC and Tampa, then Stl and maybe Montreal

Isn't it that he'd hid his shotgun on his locker and pull out and he'd threatened his teammate cuz he was pissed off and got suspension for numerous games? 😅

The Wizards r the Bullets. They just moved from Baltimore and rebranded as the Wizards. Same Jersey and everything, just different name😂😂😂

@@wazzup233rumors are crazy 😂😂 i had to looked up what happened to, but he explains it on the show i think it was a card game and just a joke that turned real on crittering’s end

No

I lived in Baltimore through 2 super bowls and many failed Orioles playoff runs, I don't see basketball in Baltimore, being honest. Baltimore is perfect for football and baseball, not basketball. The throwback to the Bullets is nice and nostalgic, but too far away for anybody to remember and not really impactful enough to have an emotional attachment too.

Pelicans can move to San Diego too if it’s another optional

@@dreamcage1801 San Diego does not work with LA 2-hours North... this has been tried before Especially if they cannot support an NFL franchise

They couldn’t keep the chargers you think bball fairs better ?

Take the Clippers back! All of these cities that used to have teams trying to get one back. Smh.

@@feezywg6427 there’s a lot to blame for this one here

Too late - with that billion dollar stadium!​@@sidjones16

Tf you want 5 teams in California for? Are you restarted?

If you look at crime statistics Oak isn’t even in the top 10 of big US cities.

@thelisthub stats don't matter when it's bodies on ya block.

😂💯

Baby mommas and lottery picks 😮

Probably going to sign alot of free agents from the spanish league and euros

We dont have a choice tho, Cartel took over their gov and they want hoopers

@@iguesss Cartel didnt take over th gov, that was the Pri and the one responsible is locked up in chicago. Dont stay in the past, and they are talking about Mexico City a top 5 city in the world son.

Vegas $$$$

@@DMalltheway true.... But, does it really bring in any new money? People in Vegas are already gambling on the sport. They'd be the last major sports league in the market besides baseball. I dunno, would be hard to recruit to Montreal. It gets cold AF in the winter. Definitely lot's of potential pitfalls. But, it's probably the nicest city on the continent. Would be nice to see them get a team

@@adamb1229 Sure does, worked with the Golden Knights

@@DMalltheway but hockey was new to the area. The team created new fans of the sport. I don't think a basketball team has the same effect. The NHL was very smart to get in first. Smart and the NHL aren't often associated with each other. But the Knights are certainly a big success. I don't doubt a team would be successful in Vegas. I just don't know if it offers you that much more compared to other markets in this context

@@adamb1229 So is NBA basketball.

NFL style

They are but he’s probably saying they’re not “regular civilians” 😂😂

@@enockbadu2809 no they’re definitely regular just because they have money doesn’t make them special 🤣

@@anthonytavarez9593 😂😂That’s true but what he was getting at was that because they are NBA players and they are in the spotlight they’re not necessarily “regular civilians”

True story though!

Baltimore bullets

Facts thanks Gil for bringing up Baltimore hopefully we get considered

​@@irvingzeistman9828 that's too realistic

Baltimore doesn't deserve a team

Factsss

Yea makes no sense i understand Canada in the nba bcuz well south of Canada that borders with USA can play.... anything North is just wilderness 😅😅 but mexico already has their own basketball league...

Facts. Cartels will turn that whole organization upside down

@@BarryBlockZay617 I was thinking the exact same thing.

Horrible take

Adam Silver is trying to do too much

Vamps lolll

Poor community there’s no way!

Baltimore has to clean up the city a bit first.

@@4olojonesnot a bit, them niggas need street sweepers 24/7 for 5 yrs str8 to get clean.

I strongly and respectfully disagree. Too many problems to clean up before thinking of bringing another franchise in. We good with baseball and Football, let's not get carried away.

It’s too black

Nobody wants a team in Kansas City

​@@sheldonstrong895yes we do they stole the Sacramento Kings from us in the 80s

​@@stevonecapone7958 kings was never yours In the first place kings started in Rochester NY so if anything kings was stolen Rochester NY to Ohio, Kansas , to Sacramento

If Sacramento lost the kings they would have nothing

@@chancedepass3722 while true, its just always been a thought

Pittsburgh

Nashville 🎉

San Diego

Louisville

I don’t think Tennessee big enough to have 2 teams

I saw that documentary about ball players in Mexico. That’s rough stuff a ball player was running for his life after angering cartel members due to money.

LeBron is buying the Lakers, the Busses are broke

@@babesababe5885that’s cap but would be nice

Too close to Orlando. Redundant.

Right, when he said civilian I’m like what 😂😅

@@SpinnTraxxMusic who talks like that, like are you from district 1

What does that actually mean in practice? The team gets to draft 10+ players from the draft or how does it work?

@@TooMuchScreenTimeFFSall team protect 8 players that’s on contracts and the rest is up for grabs to be drafted

@@TooMuchScreenTimeFFS it would depend on what the NBA and the owners negotiate and agree upon. There must be some language within the CBA that at a minimum sets out guidelines and rules. It may look similar to previous expansions of the NBA or more similar to MLB / NHL expansion. Some of this will also depend on WHEN they actually expand, what cities are selected, and which free agents are available outright. It’s looking like a lock for Vegas and probably Seattle. The NBA is definitely going to want at least two big name stars to join both. You also want free agents the following couple years after so those teams have a chance to make a huge splash and grow viewership.

KC

Nah

Mexico would be perfect if it wasn’t for the crime. It’s terrible down there

Hell, no.

Players going to come up missing

@@DJDJ-iu7qr Mexico City is safer than plenty of American cities with NBA teams. There's rich people in Mexico too, they live in crime free neighborhoods. Plenty of Americans vacation in Mexico annually. Plenty of American expats live in Mexico City. You can't just rely on the headlines for your news and opinions.

Yeah as long as you forget about the corruption, cartels, turf wars, kidnappings and the other stuff.

Nigga fucc no 😂😂😂😂

Facts

STL is raggedy 😂

The st louis spirits to be exact

Nah. St. Louis is a small city that cant keep anything

Nor should they

KC had a team before, it did not work, but now that the chiefs are poppin...

@@Thebrothaisback The Chiefs are winning. Everyone goes when a team is winning

Not to mentions the royals have also recently won a World Series anyone who doesn’t think Kansas City can support an NBa team is a full blown dumbass

@@professionalpookie they dont usually bring teams to places that win. Pittsburgh was winning, they didn't get new teams. Its about market size, city size and metro area size. Many cities like kc, st. Louis, Cincinnati, Orlando, Tampa, etc., are smaller markets than Hartford, CT, but they have no teams. In fact, a Stamford, CT belongs to the largest market, but has no team. Canada is not national to us, and should not have teams, but the supposed creator of basketball was originally from Canada...

Virginia Beach would go crazy! 🌊🌊

Wizards are coming soon. Virginia offered them land to build whatever they want and bring the caps too
