I feel like this is the first time that McCants has actually understood and agreed with the point someone else was making 32:22
pure comedic gold
eligible for this or that, literally the whole nba is about stat padding because your stats dictate your contract… these dumb fans love saying someone is "stat padding" the game is about stats stupid… every player in the nba is stat padding to either insure a future contract or to fulfill their current contract dummies…
Ja morant got him FIRED per the water boy
Ja ready for a big market team. Miami.
When they put a team in Vegas n Seattle, nba need move grizzlies n pelican to the eastern conference
Mmmh… Nope.
It has been a while since became highly unprobable JJJ wins DPOY again (sole condition left to him to be elegible for supermax).
If any, MEM's downfall as of late under this last streak with JenX was benefiting that (allegedly) cheap ownership: defense just got awful and make nigh impossible for Jaren to make a case for the award.
Nothing Tuomas Doubleisalo will do from now on can get significantly any worse than that… DPOY won't be voted base on last nine games of the season.
If Ja don’t get into trouble and mess up he wouldn’t of been fired
The business of the NBA is messing up the NBA.
It's all weird. Desmond Bane ain't cheap. 200 mill for Bane is a stretch. They definitely robbing the bank with Ja though.
We need him in milwaukee
Marcus Smart was an abject disaster for Memphis. He was our worst pickup since Chandler Parsons.
Crazy, pretty much if Wemby was never diagnosed with DVT this wouldnt be an issue
The NBA is trash not entertaining wack contracts honestly get paid to much to argue for a foul half of the time and until now did I realize how many coaches have gotten fired for winning that’s crazy and the NBA is not stepping in no one gonna defend these guys yea boycott the NBA too much dumb stuff going on
These guys don't know anything the grizzlies..they are a mess.Jenkins is a players coach,not know as a hard guy.
You Muthafuckas Don’t Get it: ADAM SILVER AND THE NBA IS TRYING TO EXPAND IN EUROPE. SO, WHAT DO THEY DO? THE PROMOTE ONE OF THE TOP COACHES FROM EUROPE, AND GIVE HIM A HEAD COACHING POSITION!
To fire him is crazy
I ain’t gon lie I enjoy the show but Gil just be making up the craziest narratives for these views fux is he talking about not playing JJJ to save max money what’s even the point
Gil turning into Stephen A they just know how to make things sound like they got some inside knowledge and don’t actually know Jack shit just guessing like everybody else foh
Gil knows too much about the business of basketball. It makes too much sense what hes saying. Keep everyone for under max value and have money left over for something big. Hes right nobody is going to want JJJ for 300mil. That is Luka, Bron and Steph money, marketable powerhouses. This sucks for JJJ but i understand it. Also Lexi looks better every show
To have a top 4-5 seed in the west when his star players have been hurt, zero consistency etc says they overachieved. He shouldn't have been fired.
Grizzlies at risk of becoming a PLAY IN team…
Adam silver ruined the nba. Cant fhange my mind. Somebdo find the lazarus pitt and revive stern 😂
When convos about money come up. Always understand Gil negotiated his own 100 mil contract compared to everyone else he has up here. Dude is business minded. Away from his theatrics. He is business savvy as hell.
22:05 young boy back outta prison , Ja morant never broke again will be back soon 😂🙏
3 cuts in eyebrows is enough to know. He's showing you exactly who he is. Ja mikey williams, same type.
wtf is McCants and Swaggy wearing?
That guy laughing in the background all the time is the best part of this show.
Scottie Pippen Jr. Is the 🔑
3:34
All I know Lexi looking 🔥🔥🔥
the bizneess of basketball sucks…..
😂😂😂, all Gil fault. Come on downstairs and coach
Draymond Green is the DPOY ⌚️
27:27
Draymond Green, Dyson Daniels,JJJ
29:11
Dallas basically fired Luka and screwed him over on the Super Max. No one is safe.
Everytime Gill opens his mouth you see why he was a cancer to every team he played for. And why he never sniffed the NBA finals
Gilbert has a losing mentality 😂
(JJ- Dallas) Absolutely first and fare most if it’s money, see what’s out there… but if he’s willing to play the 5 and he wanna play with kyrie If he’ll and AD it’s where he’ll be
Monty had tough years in Detroit after building Phoenix
He is worth the same contract as Evan Mobley 5 year 225
None of them hitting Lexie??
I find it funny how all these shows talking about “real reason” why grizzlies fired Jenkins and they don’t even watch the grizzlies they are not tapped in Grizz haven’t beat a team over 500 since Feb 2nd and GG Jackson is in the GLeague cuz he hasn’t looked good at all this year
If yall listing they say team didn’t like they offense but assistant coach was the one who gave ex coach the offense if yall listing
If Mr. Jenkins was black we would be up in arms. This is a big deal the NBA is a shity bush league.
These people do not watch the Memphis Grizzlies lmao
i wish that jj could get paid AND grizzlies could be a threat. i get 147m is more than enough, i just want the NBA to let the owners come out their pockets for players who've earned it. have a pool of money from all owners in the nba treasury, paid out to the all-nba team players (as well as mvp dpoy, etc). if its a sunk cost, owners wont let money get in the way of putting the best product on the court.
"swaggy P" has 0 swag, wtf is that clown outfit + horrible voice
300+ million was never on the table for JJJ, Gil trippin
