My First Game Against Vince Carter Made Me Think I Couldn't Play In The NBA 

Life lesson. Stop looking at what you can't do, and start looking at what you can do!

This is more than Hoop advice, these are Life gems

Bruh this dude helps me so much he giving out so much wisdom nd mental knowledge

You don't have to play basketball to learn something from his stories That's why I love Gil, I can apply his teachings in my everyday life

He had to stop comparing and start preparing!

It's called imposter syndrome. A lot of people experience it when starting a new job. I felt it after getting my first job after college.

I'm really enjoying all of this Gilbert Arenas content I'm seeing lately. He's more thoughtful than I ever thought. This wisdom applies outside of basketball, too.

I’m surprised these vids don’t get a half a mill every upload I think I’m early on a channel for once

Man injuries robbed him of a special career. Dude was something else when it came to getting buckets

Arenas was such a monster man. The good ole days when adidas was the go to with Tmac, Gil, Duncan, Howard lol

Gil NEEDS TO BE IN PLAYER DEVELOPMENT AT SOME SORT OF LEVEL ASAP IF HE AIN'T ALREADY!

Love these stories dawg. Gil got stories with stars down to the reserves 😂

Lmaooo that’s how demoralizing it was when VC yammed that thang

Put all the jokes, controversy, and injuries aside and Gil is one of the best and intelligent hoopers I’ve ever seen an he’s out here sharing his knowledge with all of us. Protect this mans

Gilbert needs his own show, great personality and likeable.

Arenas is my fav player still today . I’m 31 so I remember his prime years like yesterday

Wow, he is a very humble down to earth guy, great of him to share his experience with these young men!!!

Basketball is mostly CONFIDENCE driven. I can remember looking into the eyes of guys on my team when the opponents had game and you can see the fear in them about guarding good players. Im built different because I was the guy who couldn't wait to go after the best player reason being is I had CONFIDENCE in my defense.

Quiet is kept before LeBron James got on the basketball court Vince Carter was the most talented player in basketball.. But he didn't have the organization behind him.. That's Toronto raptors organization did him wrong.. A new coach every other year only got him aging stars then when he's ready to win after 67 years in the league they bring in a young Chris Bosh but no stars going to be content with that they're ready to win at that moment. That dude had the most range of any of the guards in that era by far his handles were more than capable more explosive than anyone else. Clutch Jean was there. Had a fade away or fall away from anywhere on the court.. That dude's potential never was met and even still he is a Hall of famer

Gil to me is a class act. He always gives credit to his peers. He isn't about stroking no ego - He'll openly give rivals their flowers. Hearing a killer like Gil speak on Iverson, Carter and Kobe etc makes the heart warmly chuckle. Respect to Gil for always keeping it honest and real.

"They overjump because they jump too high."

I am a coach and these life lessons coming from a professional are invaluable. Please keep up the good work fellas.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Powerful words! Kids need to hear more of this

This is who should be in the media talking ball.

What I like and respect about Gilbert Arenas is his honesty of playing in the NBA. If fans ignore some of the negative things off court, and his critics, Arenas is teaching anyone who is willing to listen to him what it takes to make it in the NBA. I was a die hard University of Arizona fan when I lived in Tucson back in the mid 1990's. I honestly raised my eye brows when he announced his intentions to enter the NBA draft. But then I realized how much confidence he had in playing the game he loves. It's looks insanely hard to play in the NBA. And Gilbert shares his knowledge of his experiences. And I like that about him.

Rookie Arenas "damn I can't do what Kobe does." All star Arenas, "Damn I still can't do what Kobe does...81 points???"

Everytime I hear him talk I get disappointed in how good he could've been over a long period of time.... The foolish decisions we make....

Brought em up, and then back down to reality and the basics.... he mastered HIS game for sure... that was great.

Regardless of w.e mistakes gil made , he drops gems every interview and he keeps it real every time

Man I Love Gilbert Arenas🤣🤣dude just be being completely honest and some people can’t stomach it.. That’s some real advice to live by in all areas of life

Man... Every interview of this guy is a real life lesson.

another video, another reason why he is one of the smartest players I've seen and heard from

So glad to be hearing from Gilly in this way. Please keep it coming.

Always a great lesson from this guy.Great player with a great insite thats rare.

Whenever former players talk about how insane Vince was, it sounds as VC never met his full potential even though he had a HOF career...

Great life lesson about perspective

Arenas is such a great story teller, love it

Vince Carter truly most fun talent to watch

I don't play sports, but this is just great advice to keep you going in your own life. Good looking Gilbert 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯

Something that Gil also should've mentioned is that you should never compare yourself to another person. Your only concern should be being the best version of you!

Before anyone there was Vince Carter ..🔥

What you're given is your true gift. Once you try changing your core and start comparing yourself to others thats when you fail. Live your truth appreciate the things you may and may not have.

I need footage of that Dunk

This channel made me more admire agent0 ... one of my all time fav NBA players ... more power..watchin all the way here in the philippines

I can’t tell u how many times a bunch of young athletic freaks thought they would demolish old heads extremely experienced in the game all lacking athleticism and when the athletic young guys step on the court, the older minded guys run the athletic guys out the gym. And then some other new younger guys come along a bit less athletic than the top athletic youngsters and they mentally check out and become non factors despite other skills they have the potential for just like the old heads did. That’s the difference in greatness of players across all history. Mentality iq and confidence which tends to eventually come with experience. Some are so great that even with lack of experience they have it. That’s why u gotta love 60s n 70s basketball. So much of a blend of the best stuff from all around complete, smart, tough, and confident players

Great to hear from a pro. We've all been there whether it's making a film/video or mixing music or wtvr and you think you're good and then you check out what the pros do and you feel deflated, like you're nothing, but it keeps you going, that's what motivates you to get there.

Arenas needs his own reality show. So much genuine wisdom

bro gil has turned into my fave basketball mind. glad he's doing these.

Gilbert you are a motivational speaker in sweats.

Some Real Jewelry that's how you shine shine on... AgentZero heat on off and on the Court

Honestly, this is something I needed to hear. Thanks Gil

Yeah, zero chill, but total passion. I watched his progression from a dude who picked #0 for his jersey to become an absolute killer.

Top tier when it comes to a lesson in life. Why get depressed focusing on other people's skills, you're you and they're them. Meaning you can do things they can't do too.

Bro I fuckin love to hear Zero talk about basketball 🏀

Gil be dropping LIFE JEWELS

He said something very important about playing against hyper athletic dudes... Speed them up... Make them go too fast or jump too high since that's what they do... Counteract that by changing direction or taking charges... Stuff like that...

I love how the whole being either stuck in imposter syndrome or thinking everyone else is trash. Man I love that attitude

"I got so depressed just from the dunk..." LOL!!

dope interview

For real, this is some of the best advice for life from Agent Zero.

Mail Monk need this type of mindset to reach his potential. He has ridiculous talent

Real good one Gil!!!

life lesson..do what you do. sometimes you gotta look at life differently

This is a metaphor for life.

I was at that game when I was a kid

love gilbert how he would score layupus at GSW he was so smooth at GSW

Him and Kobe best advisors call it ....school 💯

Can both be applied to the games of basketball and life solid advice Gil

Extremely well spoken

I love to hear Gil stories

I needed this 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Great piece 👌🏾

Brilliant advice that transcends basketball! Thank you for this!

NO CHILL GIL. I LOVE HIM

YO! Still looking for this video of VC15 at the UNC vs Duke Alumni Game where he did a 360.....IN TRAFFIC thru the lane. AND he grabbed a 3 pointer out of the hoop and dunked it back into the hoop at the end of the game. Scariest play EVER!!!!!!!!

Aye he keeping it a Whole Buck 😭😭 he said I can’t do this shit 🤣🤣

Your perception can be your reality! Keep striving!

Honestly, I was not a fan of Gilbert back then. Now that I watched his podcasts, this person is something aside from basketball. Thumbs up to you Agent 0.

I’ve became a fan all over agent 0 you so real

This was great! Gilbert was so good…

agent zero really giving reality tips to youngsters

Damn! Now I want to see the play he's talking about.

My first game playing against Vince Carter also made ME think I couldn't play in the NBA.... but he was 14 when I was trying to guard him. #HalfManHalfAmazing

Look at what they can't do, and focus on what you CAN do. Love this.

I was a laker fan but I clearly remember couple of games Gilbert killing it versus them and dude was a beast

Damn Thats exactly what I needed to hear this morning. Love 🙏

Gil be dropping 💎's ✊🏾👑

Gil is like a basketball shaolin monk... like a life guru

Good content Q food reviews god bless

Raptor Vince is scary 😳😱😵

Great video! Love it!

He’s dropping gems Fr

I love me some Hibachi during the mid-2000s but come on now... during his rookie season (2001-02), the Glove at already 33 years old was still playing 40 minutes per game and was still averaging 22 and 9 while John Stockton at 39(!) years old was still averaging 8 assists and a hair under 2 steals per game. Both were also even more productive in the playoffs, as usual, even at their advanced age. So, while I completely agree with the change in mindset and perspective that he made, something tells me he should have named other players that he supposedly "passed by" during that time. LOL

Gil is prepping these guys on how to interview. The basketball wisdom is a bonus.

Dawg! Straight up Facts.

Gilbert was hard back in his day... Sucks injuries took out alot of big time stars back in the day... I'm still mad as hell T mac didn't win a few rings with his talent... He was basically a talker Kobe... 😢

Gil, bruh write a book. Facts you droppin is fundamental to life, not just basketball

facts , thank you....play your game and in life use your assets....

He had a Denver Levins moment “ Do you ever think about life after basketball ? “

This is dope. Love the inside scoop.
