That door bell took me 😂😂
Gill delusional. Then if you throw just guys vets together its not automatic winning it. Why Westbrook ,A.D , lebron, carmelo, dwight, rondo and more didnt win. Much less make a play in???
I love how Kenyon was giving Coke advice about getting a job. That’s dope
I'm so glad they got rid of that wack ass song 😂. I used to do this dumbass Carlton Banks-like dance to that shit lmao
11:46 Ben Simmons will play his way out of the NBA he didn’t play that way in college and he made his free throws and wasn’t a shooter then but he is really hurting himself he could be so much more then what he’s doing in the NBA right now true meaning if wasted talent
6:53 the disrespect of Mikel bridges is crazy like he ain’t avg 25 when he got to the nets last year
Where can I get that Emo Jimmy Shirt?!!
Gil literally wants to be the #1 Lebron fan girl . Old as man desperately trying to get in Lebron bed 😂😂
Come on Norris you know that was Spo third year they wont 43 and then 47 games Spo first two years after Riley last year they won 15 games
Nah son I need the name of that first beat 😂
Non winners talking about what they not gonna do is a wild take.
K Martin used to be a beast, dude was nice on dunking on people
Imagine if Lebron had stayed in Cleveland. Putting Chips aside it would have been dope to see. Just based on who I am as a person, that kinda of loyalty hit different.
Jennings is right about Lebron! They hated on him from the START ‼️‼️‼️

Yeah Norris gotta join the staff when he decides to retire.
Gilbert didn’t know Norris played for the heat hahahahaa
KMart crazy I see it in his eye 😂💀
Bruh BRING NORIS COLE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bill russell got 11 but people say it was who he played Michael Jordan played against under sized Charles Barkley can’t stop nobody Gary Payton bunch of older players he the greatest but let’s not act like he was playing the best.. something called evolution players jump higher stronger shooting from half court etc..
But Cleveland never wond a ring until Lebron came back with Kyrie. He was still dominant and would have been dominant but that foes not necessarily mean he wons rings and no rings is a lesser acknowledgement.
Gil thats the best explanation of the comparisons to MJ and why noone will ever surpass it put into words I have heard and I can agree with that is the real reason.
These guys don't get it at all. Cleveland fans were mad he left Cleveland especially the way that he did it. But he started getting checked for not fulfilling his promises. Not 1, not 2, not 3, etc only to have the meltdown in 2011. Then leaving Miami after promising all them rings. Then he called himself the goat with a losing finals record. Making excuses, etc. There's nothing LeBron didn't call upon himself. come on now!
ONE OF MY FAV SHOWS, BIG UP BJ AND WISH LEXI WAS THERE
Brandon Jennings I caught that too niggas in the er is crazy 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you Gilbert for setting the record straight and Norris Cole who actually played with him for confirming it. Lebron would be dominant wherever he went!
I was a freshman at Cleveland State during his senior year. I attended every home game that season and he was a joy to watch. I learned a few things from watching him as well. I hope I get to see him in Cleveland one day. Hopefully, I can hoop with or against him. I’d be honoured if I could ever meet K-Mart since he’s a former Bearcat. And I happen to be #JustAKidFromCincy.
Jordan shoes have patents, and the big shoe companies have own so many patents that any similar shoes can be a lawsuit against new designers.
Lmao cap gill lol mao
Yesterday Norris said 06 Bron is better than 06 Kobe 🤣. Last week kenyon brought up Kobe Yamming over Todd Mccollough in the finals and Norris skipped straight to "idk why ppl even jump with Vince.." the boi obviously a Kobe hater . I hate b**ch azz nuggaz like him , like it hurts to give a HOF legend his due props 🤬
Comparing Lebron’s 25 and Jordan’s 25 is dumb because Jordan played 2-3 years in college
Keep killing it, the show is fire. Cole needs to be a regular guest, and Rashad is dope as well. It would be great if you had 7 guests all at once for a special round table.
I love Gil but Naaaaa. Don’t start acting like ypu were him when Allen Overson was the main guy who started the Scoring Fast small Point guard position that was not you Gil don’t forget you came well after my boy Ai
No one has been Allen Iverson or ever will be tjay dude had two hearts and a mind of a stubborn mule
Nets ain't no joke. Don't sleep
Mid is young lingo? Been saying that for like 15 years.
