Gil's Arena Finally Destroys Skip And Stephen A Smith

us as athletes we have a problem with skips the Sten A's the these people right the same thing man like literally for me to question or comment on somebody else's overview of their legacy like LeBron they ask me do I respect LeBron's Legacy over Reggie Miller right I have my opinion on that question yeah but at the end of the day it don't [ __ ] matter if br Legacy is going to be up to him and what he think about it how he sleep at night and feel good about himself so I'm not going to put no emphasis on Legacy cuz I have my own opinion on whether or not I should respect it or not but at the end of the day it's not about what I what I think about Legacy somebody else I can only say what I would do for me so I get that part and I I'm 100% on board with that just just pick itback on another St and that's why like us as athletes we have a problem with skips the Sten A's the these people right when you're on you've never laced them up and you don't know what it took for these guys to become who they are and when you're constantly with the negative Narrative of this person and constantly challenging everything and every move that they make and everything that they do is critiqued in the negative light you're [ __ ] with this man's Legacy and you have no leg to stand on because you ain't never been in this Arena you ain't never been on this field you ain't never done it so for you to have anything but praise and admiration for these people is crazy and that's why we feel the way we do and that's why we challenge damnn near everything that comes out of your mouth because it's coming from you're naive you're ignorant to what you're saying because you don't know what it took to question this man's Legacy at any point at any decision that he's made at any time where he was successful or at his failure you should have nothing but praise for this man at any sport so for you to be critiquing and criticizing these people man like it irks me so anytime I have a chance to re btle and dispute anything that they say I'm going to do it at every chance I get because your words are invalid to me and and and what's so funny is I'm glad you said it and when you say invalid it's it's the correct word invalid only Sports is where you canot have been a professional of it and you get to judge someone's work right hall of fames and all like every athlete 100% of athletes are still wondering how did you make a 75 list without Dwight Howard it still boggles every single player who's ever played this game like wait his res what the [ __ ] are y'all talking about right if you if we had to put this [ __ ] in numbers he's going to be top 25 so how is he not 75 right and we've been on planes right right yeah the most important person is who pil the pilot right second most important co-pilot no besides them the pilots second most important flight attendance flight attendance great great and then Steward and then next is the customers right which one is the NBA player the pilot right the pilot is the one that's out there practicing looking at game plans we are the one playing the steward is is the analyst right the analyst reports everything to the passengers right the only problem with that is we in the same [ __ ] cabin the stewards and the passengers are in the same [ __ ] cabin you're watching the same [ __ ] view right when turbulence hits and they get on there hey just calm down everybody put your seat [ __ ] I know that I know you I I know I can see [ __ ] the turbulence I'm moving the ding ding came on I can see that from right here you have no different view than me right the customer the analyst and the fans got the same [ __ ] view we are the people in the cockpit right there's a door shoot can't get in right shoot but the only thing that analy get to do is knock on the door hey so what's going on back there and then I tell you what to tell them right now imagine as a pilot being judged by the stewards on how we landed you watch your rabbit ass mind to tell me because there was so much turbulence and you felt uncomfortable [ __ ] you don't know what I went through up here right you don't know nothing about you didn't do no lights you didn't do no nothing you have no hours on getting this plane safe all you was doing is just sitting there talking to each other judging us on what we are doing that is the problem you're telling who should be in the Hall of Fame first ballad and you are seeing the entertainment part I never seen how many days you was in practice you was sick going to practice I don't know what you went through mentally prepare for this game all I'm watching is the 48 minutes I'm sorry people but there's more than 48 minutes that go into a person's Legacy y'all are judging people on the game-winning shot who didn't take it why you didn't take it you don't know do you know our place huh did our coach give you the [ __ ] Playbook to know what we were running no you're just judging if LeBron James came and took the shot or passed the shot that's it if he passes it he's weak right if he takes it and miss it he's weak right you don't know the pl that's drawn up you don't know what's going on to this to have so much influence on legacies it's the craziest [ __ ] I've ever seen in my life I I I want to see a bunch of Steward is dictate the the pilots who's going to go to the Hall of Fame of who get races and they would look at them [ __ ] like if you don't get your stupid ass up out of here that's what you do open the cockpit door mhm come on in here come on in here let me here take the wheel Take the Wheel you got it so we we sit over this [ __ ] let me see let me turn this idle pilot off and let me see you laying this [ __ ] go matter of fact get your ass up out of here ass LeBron James a that hard car [ __ ] was this [ __ ] yeah shut your ass dumb get your ass it's that man like no like it's just fun Jason Tatum this all right how how about this you know what here's a uniform here's some shoes guard them 360 W you don't know what goes like come on man we like we play 82 games we get 82 Scout reports dog2 Scout report I'll take it more simple for you go give The Playbook tell us what the first where the ball supposed to go hey I ain't going to tell you [ __ ] where the ball supposed to go here the where the ball supposed to go first pass so who's what who's what's what's one what's one 125 out where does one go okay you okay you got the first point where he passed so where did he go after he passed mhm what is the defense doing hey you know what we you can help Follow The Line Follow The Line follow the Tik Tok like what show me like like when was the last time you played like in the NBA 2015 2015 tell me a scouting report on how you guarded Tim Duncan off for me I'm going get into him I'm not going to let him shoot his bang shot I'm going make him put the ball on the floor as much as possible I'mma catch him like I said I'm make him catch the ball off the block first and foremost um I'm making him go left if I can can mhm it's cuz he going to try to shoot his running hook cuz I can't get to it his arms longer than mine yeah what's his strong suits in the Scout report what is his strong suits in in The Scouting Report oh Bank Shot he's he's fundamentally signed he GNA get to what he want to got a nice jump hook uh strong right hand uh not a great shooter I'm a stunning back I can get back to it um yeah yeah he wants to he wants to post up on the left block kg wants to post up on the left block he's Domin right shoulder um left shoulder jump hook right shoulder jump shot want to face you up create space um defense defense and tendencies no that don't matter matter SC he's all over the place now when was the last I play game oh 2015 right you just gave a scouting report on two Hall of Famers because how many times you played them 23 26 so when the game is being played and you're following The Scouting Report there's nobody watching there's no analyst watching if they never played the game to know what you're doing M oh why why did he open it up and let him go Beach line yeah got help coming that's where my help supposed to be that's his weak side I don't want them go middle that that's our game plan game plan they don't know nothing about game like so you're you're judging everybody's Legacy on something you have no idea you you are a viewer at this point to be honest I trust a diard fan over an analyst because yeah I know a Die Hard fan watches every [ __ ] game every [ __ ] minute and they invest it analyst you don't have no Alliance to nothing all you doing is just going to get an end report look at some stat sheets and then get a little summary and then you go out there and spew your take on it you didn't watch the game from top to bottom unless you have a favorite team like so when I hear analyst talk I really want to know do you have a favorite team if you say no then I can't trust your opinion because I know you're not watching the game full full mode I know when Laker game come on this [ __ ] just LeBron James LeBron James he going watching the rest but I mean but you're not going to watch any other but that's why I said I trust I trust yeah I'm with you people who die hard fans Die Hard fans more than the anas cuz I know the Die Hard fan at least watched that 48 minute game so if they tell me about their player I can take everything they're saying for gold because they they watch every single moment 82 [ __ ] games they done watch this man or this every time DLo get that [ __ ] why why they be like yo they be into it so they like it be spot on too you so you had I catch myself every time having a real basketball conversation with a [ __ ] like D fan about their squad sitting at the airport at the bar [ __ ] like yo we watching that's but that's they can tell you from top to bot every move who's responsible for it they still make the mistake that the analysts make too though the fans yeah of course they they you know they they think they actually know what analyst but think about it they're getting from here and then like so like if you're watching it and something you don't know this analyst is telling you and you're like okay cool even though don't get even though [ __ ] your vision is the same as their you're looking at to soon as the game come on right soon as the game come on you and the analyst boom in real time the analyst don't have he's not in the locker room when coaches giving his speech he ain't he ain't at practice he didn't come back 6:30 that night to see the guy warm up and do all these things so his view of the game is no different than yours I think the fan just trust the analy cuz that's all they heard that's all they've heard cuz they don't hear from US Direct they don't hear from they take it for face value though because they think these people are professionals and should should know exactly what's going on right it's like newscasters it's like you watch you got to trust what he's saying shout out Mark Brown TV yeah they put you on TV like people think people on TV are right and they [ __ ] faint like they just just because they put a camera in people people admire people and their opinions and their celebrity cuz they put you on [ __ ] TV yeah like me [ __ ] [ __ ] me like football like I know I know we talk about the Cowboys boom last year's Cowboy last year last year for the last footall overall 20 years Cowboys you going to know everything about it absolutely right like me I don't have a team you don't don't whatever I say valent going over to mean I don't have [ __ ] to tell you right and that's why like some people like I remember like oo right and I was doing the show with otro I like oo's approach what do he don't know he asked the question hey I got a question when it's this this and this what does that mean right he's letting you know he's a novice and he's trying to understand so when he's watching it he can get a better understanding from now that's the approach when you're coming into something you have yet you just ask just just ask for you know like when I start talking for I'm ask hey man look it's fourth and one running back dude the running back is averaging 3.7 yards why the [ __ ] they kicking it cuz my brain says go absolutely for it right how do you know who to ask though this football player yeah running back we talked about some [ __ ] don't know what they talking about no but but a quarterback running back like why why they not going to you like you know what I mean like the question you just asked about the fourth and fourth and one like that's the same thing with the Seattle Seahawks with Marshon Lynch absolutely and all that [ __ ] like why did y'all pass the ball there now now but even the football players don't have the answer now that's see so I would like to ask the coach see I would I would like to ask Russell Wilson like he the only one to know he the only one to know no no only one changed yeah he could have Audible he could have did anything I could or I could go get the Super Bowl I could go I can go be selfish and do that but see that's what I said we all have our opinions but the only person who can tell us what's what is the coach or the quarterback yep I I know somebody that was there in real time but no Mar oh no no no somebody was like I talked to him to but I know somebody that was like I've always was like some of those debates we be having the people who can answer it never answer it like who's better the 92 Dream Team or the 96 Dream Team there's only a few [ __ ] people that can answer that question facts facts right there's only a few people that can Charles Barkley like that's a question [ __ ] our opinion whatever Charles says that's what I go with now right I can say 96 all day he played on both so it be like yo Charles who was better the 92 team or the 96 team whatever answer comes out of his mouth I can no longer have an opinion about because the person who was on both gets to tell me cuz this his perspective it's his perspect he was there not an opinion that's not an opinion that's the difference and that's like when y'all be talking about certain things I'm making opinions because I don't I wasn't there y'all went to the playoffs he done y'all been Allstars I can't say oh I know what that feel I can only say imagine how that feel but this is this is this is how we we deal with it now let's say we ask Charles Barkley right who's better 92 96 right I think 96 right and he says the 92 team and then my goofy ass like [ __ ] you're wrong it happens all time you stupid [ __ ] how and then give you a whole bunch of stats that I had to [ __ ] Google [ __ ] [ __ ] right beside me I was there Real Player percentage the Real Player percentage over here here we go again with gills Arena and separating the players attempting to uplift themsel you know above anybody else above broadcasters above analysts above reporters and the like personally I do not believe anything what what Kenyan says I do not believe what y to says I'm not in line with their with their line of thinking which is that you know the only way for you to tell if somebody's good or tell if a player is good is by you being there before I mean like you cannot look at Michael Jordan look at Kobe Bryant and tell that they are great players like that's not something that's possible and um as a matter of fact you know when you take the opinions of many former NBA players play people who have been there all right you ask like okay who's the greatest of all time right just I'm just using this example because these guys were talking about LeBron so I'm going to use that example right many of these former players most former players I should say they have Michael Jordan as the greatest and not LeBron and there's a lot of LeBron slander right especially coming from step a especially coming from skip bis but you know for the most part their opinion or at least the general idea is in line with a lot of former NBA players so where are they wrong right if you I think okay those who are saying LeBron LeBron LeBron are these young kids right I don't know how obsessed they are but I know Gilbert talks about oh the obsessive fan or whatever he'll take them their opinion or whatever it is but those are most of the guys who are talking about LeBron and you have the analysts you know the two that they called out by name here which is Stephen A Smith which is Skip bis they're saying Michael Jordan and most former NBA players right better than Kenyan Martin better than Gilbert arenz who' been in the who have championships T the championship are saying Michael Jordan are saying Kobe Bryant are saying Alan Iverson okay so so I like the idea I like what they're trying to do whatever they're trying to make it seem as though well if you haven't been here you can't judge this situation you can't tell if this is good all right I understand what you're trying to do but doesn't make sense because when you look at the results the results do not add up they don't add up at all right those um analysts are broadcasters who you're talking about they have a lot of the same opinions as former players they have a lot of them you know and they don't they also don't have the bias I mean look look for example somebody like Draymond Green right he has alliances that he will never ever you know trample upon he'll never badmouth LeBron James he never badmouth Steph Curry right I saw him say a little something about uh Klay Thompson but it seems like they don't have the best relationship but when you you put somebody like this a former player like that or Dwayne Wade you know to broadcast the game there's alliances there and there's bias there all right I was I even watching a clip um last week these guys former players uh Dwight Howard and some other dudes it's channel it's on my channel you know I didn't recognize some of the guys on there but dght Howard and some other dudes are talking about the goat and the first guy was asked oh who's the go this guy's like oh it's LeBron James because I was in practice with him that's what he said I was in practice with him every day so blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah all right so this is this is the the guy that we're looking to the guy who's in practce he sees LeBron James working hard all the time so we're supposed to take his opinion because he's looking down you know one road because he's been there all right Gilbert Arenas and say whatever you've been around Michael Jordan so you're obviously going at say that Michael Jordan is the greatest because you never seen anybody else right so so there's a flaw here and I think that flaw is a bigger flaw than any flaw that a broadcaster or analyst or reporter would have because there is bias all right and and and a big bias and I say like I said the prime example is germond green who goes on trips to France and is going all over the world with LeBron James so he won't slander him and you know and and basically he was carried this whole time by Steph Curry he won't say one word about him all right so we need somebody out here who's unbiased who doesn't have any connection to any any one of these guys to talk about the game it's not you guys because you guys will not say anything about your friends right so discount yourself your opinion we know it's flawed already right LeBron's your boy LeBron's the goat and you're not going to talk bad about LeBron same thing go with step same thing go goes with Durant so we got to take whatever you say with a grain of salt right but I rather the opinion of somebody who studi the game from outside because I know they're unbiased right but that's about it so on to next
