--------
Gilbert Arenas took the time to speak about the money he made in the NBA, with one particular deal in mind that stood out. Arenas was candid about a $62 million deal he got, where he only played 17 games during the season. Over the course of his career, Arenas noted he made $163 million.
I’m glad Gil said it was mental because he had the skill to be one of the top guards in the league for a longer period of time
Andrew Bynum might have something to say about that lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 very true. Dude finessed the hell out of philly.
And luol deng
Fr
How much did he get?
Nah John Wall .. hell Lou Deng was still getting paid 2 years after retiring
Damn third highest paid player in 2012🤣🤣🤣. That's crazy.
Gil still did it his way.
RESPECT.
No respect if you don't play you shouldn't get paid
@@jordanflores5687 he got buckets on the best defenders he's a beast
@@kingfamothegoat9430 nvr said he wasn't
@@jordanflores5687 If the amnesty rule allows that then fk it
lewisLewis don't care sitting there bragging about that shit is foul u already getting paid a stupid amount to dribble a ball to play a childs game and u gunna brag about getting all that money for NOT playing smh
That's dope Gil finessed the game foreal 😂😂🤣
Now everyone knows how Jordan and Kobe won all those championships because other players don’t care and act like fools
Word!
Not all NBA players or players who dream of making it to the NBA has goals of winning the championship and rings....You have some that play the game for the love of the game and to win championships and you have some that just wants the NBA checks and the endorsement/sponsorships. But, then you have some that wants both! That was Jordan and Kobe!
People forget it’s still a job. A glamorous job I’ll give you that. I’m sure the team and Gil came on the winning end of a business decision . If I was a naïve young baller I’d be upset but I doubt a seasoned vet who understands the biz even cares.
If u could've stayed home from your job and still get the same check you would have lol
.....what year was Gil supposed to win?
In Tim Grovers ( Jordan’s / Kobe / D Wade / Barkley’s former trainer ) book Relentless “ From Good to Great to Unstoppable “ he talked about how after that knee surgery Gil MENTALLY wasn’t the same anymore . And basically “ it was over “ ……..
This is why I love the 80’s and the 90’s … guys played with heart.
Are you basing that off the one video?
yeah cause they were getting paid 40k with a stick of gum.
@@GamingCentralTV1 facts
@@GamingCentralTV1 the average starter back then was probably averaging about 200k which probably equates to about a million in today’s economy. Peanuts compared to average starter’s salary now but still a decent amount. Typical nba starters in the 80s weren’t necessarily living in cardboard boxes and eating scraps out of cans
You mean playing with cocaine filled hearts*
Gilbert in them arenas 🙏🏾🌟
YOU FEEL ME????
BOBBY BONILLA STILL GETTING PAID FOR A 5 YEAR CONTRACT IN 1998 UNTIL 2035 & ANOTHER FROM 2004- 28.
THATS GANGSTA GOAT 🐐 .. KING OF FINESSERS 👑💪🏿💯!!!!
Wrong, it started in 2011. 1.9 million for 25 years. It's like around 48 million. They bought the rest of his contract in 2000 and deferred the payments. This is when that Bernie Madoff pyramid scheme was going on.
@@MF-Rell My bad 1998, but technically he is getting paid from the 1991-92 contract from the Mets also he just got traded to Baltimore
@@ogarchielee9880 that’s some ww2 shit
Get your cats straight before you spit.
Nah. That's not what makes Bonilla a GOAT...it's the fact that the original amount the Mets owed was only 5.9 million but they decided to instead pay 23.8 million (1.19 a year) from 2011 to 2035.
You can tell Gil has had some help personally and understands how he could’ve had a better career even though he still made out pretty well financially.
And I also I think he’s still passionate about the game he sees where he could’ve gotten better
Kobe dying opened his eyes a lot he said
His knees went out on him . Gil was averaging 20+
Injuries and work ethic around the time of the suspension killed his career
@@uboyrubio9488 he just explained why his work ethic went down…… he already had the bag and wasn’t mentally there lol
Robbed the bank with no gun.....SALUTE💰✊🏾
He had the gun though if needed lol
RIP Abe Pollard previous owner of the Washington Wizards...before he died he promised to give gil a fat contract because of how he basically put the team on the map and got them back in the playoffs in god knows how many years.. Was it a dumb contract? Prolly.. But he was a billionaire and he never had a real supeestar on the wizards the whole time he owned the team which was decades so he never had to spend any money... He had a teams full of rejects and has beens till gilbert came to them.
They had players before Gil... MJ, Chris Webber, Rasheed Wallace, Rip Hamilton, Ben Wallace Jerry Stackhouse just to name a few
@@tyhill2 did they all play at the same time together tho? No
@@tyhill2 most of those players didn’t play on the wizards for longer than 3 seasons or weren’t anywhere near their prime when they were on the wizards
MJ only played there because he was promised ownership of the team if he played well for a season. The Wizards and Magic are where players go to start or fade away, players don't thrive on the teams.
“Money don’t change people, the lack of Money does” sounds nice, but unfortunately Money does change people 💯
Money doesn't change people.....it's impossible....it's paper, without feelings or mechanics....people change, and the reasons vary, but it's not the money.....it's their response, or lack thereof, to the money....big difference
Nah b👎🏽that bread be changin niggas fr💯🤷🏽♂️
Money doesn't change anyone. It just magnifies who they truly are.
Naw money don’t change ppl. What money do is show who u really are. That’s facts.
@@PlayaflyJoe27 facts 💯 real ppl who been thru shit know this the only answer to this money change ppl comment. Salute u
After he got injured he already had his exit planned. 20 mil on someone on a bad knee will make any team run. All he had to do is shut up and “try”.
I miss him in Washington. I literally request a trade to Washington and wear number 0 on 2K because of him.
That’s the funny thing about sports…fans and analysts bash a player for being a “bust” or “failure” in their sport but ignoring the fact they got paid MILLIONS…nobody trys to shame a company or business man that only lasted a few years but made millions and should be set for life…
So we can’t criticize athlete’s performance because they’re rich?
That’s kinda not a good comparison bro. Athletes are judged by their success in their sport. A company is judge by the money it makes. All professional athletes are rich for the most part.
ain't nobody pocket watching you dudes over analyzing everything accept basketball
@@Selyn301 isn't that why they became athletes? What you're going to criticize that they aren't great players? They got into it for a check and got that check mission accomplished
@@504chris Yea that may be true for BUSTS. Some players actually want to be remembered for being good/winning.
Gilbert was my guy but you wasn't winning shit with him as ur leader/best player.
He was too dam goofy
He still got his and put up numbers lol dude was on the cover of a basketball video game and had a adidas shoe deal. He was doing curry shit before curry existed. Put some respect on gil stop playin wit dat boi. Top5 PG in 2004-07
He needs to get Rashard Lewis for an interview.
So random lol why? Are u Rashard Lewis?
@@robsmith6650 Is my name Rashard Lewis?
@@DMalltheway Thats what we want to know! Is it 👀
@@silewis9396 Read the name.
@@robsmith6650 It's not really random since they mentioned Rashard Lewis in this clip.
Gilbert Arenas is Definitely the Best interview ever!!!
People forget sports are a job.. nobody is out here saying I'll play for free if we get a chip because honestly at the end of the day that shit doesn't matter. They are trying to play better than the next man to get a bigger check than the next man
He laughs and jokes about it but I know he wishes his career turned out differently..Hall of Fame level talent.
He can whipe his tears with 60 million
Sheesh that’s crazy,yea Gil you the Goat 🐐
Gilbert that dude 💯 dope interview
Gil def got the last laugh in the end after that whole gun fiasco lol
This man is my hero...🤔
Luol deng has entered the chat
Embiid is following your footsteps! ✔😎
All these hating comments stems from y’all being broke 😂
You worship bozos with money..just say that
Very tru bro nighas big mad
@@loudiamonds6587 that’s how you say “I’m broke” without saying “I’m broke” 😂
Imagine how much more he could have made if he stayed active
Why? He was on the tail end of his career and not motivated to perform. He wanted his phat cheque and got it. He is the happiest guy in the league until his contract expired.
Then what, over 100 million made……….. At what point doesn’t it mean anything, as stated he wasn’t mentally there.
Enough money was generated for himself and family to last multiple lifetimes.
@@tears2040 I don't know about all that. Mike Tyson blew through 300 mil in less than 1/3 of his lifetime.
@@GamingCentralTV1 Yea because he was an idiot.. If you have the most basic understanding of personal finance then it is literally impossible to go broke with like 5 million dollars.. let alone fucking 9 figures! lmao
@@lk5388 he’s a lazy stereotype
RESPECT!
Respectable decision. Whether he could’ve been one of the greats or not, very smart decision he made by valuing his mental more than the dollar. A lot of us would accept more mental abuse for just another 5$ / hr..
The Shanghai Sharks that's dope haha. I respect his hustle
You can tell he is a little embarrassed by Vlad saying it out loud in that manner. Gilbert tried to play it down but Vlad pulling up the past quotes and posts. 🤣
62 mill in 17 games? Why would anyone be embarrassed about that 😂😂😂
lmaoo Vlad is always hitting the interviewee w/ craaazy shit out of the blue 😭dude'll be laughing and vibing w/ vlad, then all the sudden Vlad will be like OkAy sO, Then 92 comes around and I guess some allegations come up that you raped 2 women?? 🤨Like shit thanks for dropping a bomb on the whole vibe 😭
Luol Deng has entered the chat
If when keeping it real goes wrong was a person lol 🤣🤣😭 my nigga Gib
Notice how actual billionaires never boast about money
do you know any billionaires?
@@WopJr you already know this fool don't 🤣🤣🤣
@@wavycam585 he felt super comfortable saying billionaires “never” do that though so he must know some 🤔😂😂
@@WopJr 🤣🤣
YES THEY DO! When they are out on Manacowith $200-$300 Million dollars yachts, what do you call that????
Damn that’s a serious come up 😂
The toilet paper roll pic 😂😂😂😂😂
FOR-REAL!!!
Gil his agent is the goat 💯
Well I guess this happens to people like Gilbert when the game becomes less important to them as long as they are making millions and millions of dollars
He def. got his bag 💰💰💰
Kevin Garnett was still getting paid from the Celtics after he retired also some of these players real pimped the NBA 😂😂😂😂
Let's not forget about Andrew "Luck"
That boi john wall een doing shit just makin M’s
Im glad he made all that money without playing. Them people that run the nba dont fuck with us anyway salute to you Arenas💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Luel Deng said hold my beer
Tim Grover said Gilbert Arenas was a cleaner, a top performer, then when he got the money he mentally checked out. Never wanted to be to the greatest.
When is this whole interview going to come out?
Legendary Troll
Exactly what he said , they gave him all his money and he don’t have to perform , players today do same thing that’s why sports betting is stupid rn
SMART DUDE
You trippin, as we speak John Wall is making 90 million from this and next and hasn't played 1 game so far!
I see no lies here.
Money can change a dude
This dude is beyond full of himself
Gill the reason why a lot of these NBA contracts changed.
Can't even hate
ppl only care about money nowadays so that’s why most of the ppl watching this are like “damn he got a point”
Vlad does then tries to convince it means something. In other countries they don’t worry about it as much as we do over here
It's not a new thing...the game has always been a business which is why people have always got paid to play it..the awards were just a way of securing a bigger check
You think, jordan,kobe,shaq,labron,Shaq,, wade. Any of them would play a year for free if they were assured they would win a championship that year?
all facts
I think Chandler Parsons got him out did in that department. John Wall too
Chandler Parsons making 25 million this year
Chandler yea but John wall avg 20 last year still worth the money
I remember I couldn’t believe he was highest paid I knew he wasn’t that great back then it’s all about hear say all hype meaning all talk he never looked that hungry
Finessed the league
That amnesty clause got brothers paid
Got them gats like Gilbert Arenas
That’s some 🐐 shit frfr
I feel like NBA players make so much money that they don't really appreciate how much it is. They've made it their whole lives so they have no perspective compared to regular working folk.
Gilbert arenas has a good money management
Gil a GOAT for actually playing for the Shanghai sharks
Bosh is getting a lot of money too but his situation is different.
He got they ass....shot out to agent 0
He has that accent of a proper Englishman
Lol no he doesn't.
Finessing at is finest
Good ol No Chill
😂😂😂 enough said…
Gil ass likely broke. His arrogance is still the same
You’re likely more broke…stop hating on ppl with more money than yu
Not at all , he literally has a top podcast
Shouldn't be proud of that my friend. I feel for him only because he never got to finish his basketball career...that's tough for any hooper
Gilbert Arenas proved that he was a high caliber player in the league. To get 62 million for only playing 17 games is legendary. Preserve your body and still get paid millions, as well as, having amazing moments in the league. GOAT shit right there.
Man put him back in leaugue
Reason owners should only have yearly contracts with a few clauses.
It hurts Gilbert so bad that he wasn’t the best guard when he played even though he always said he was.
With all due respect “iso joe” Joe Johnson & John Wall both finessed waaay more dollars in my humble opinion
How did wall finesse ? He got hurt but he def deserved the money at that time
That’s Tracy from like Mike
🐐
It's sad he is the example of players who don't have anything to play for after getting their playday. Sucks that he didnt play for PRIDE or continue to have LOVE for the game.

Yikes , a lot of kwame brown fans flooded the comment section.
Eden hazard would be proud
Bale loves your comment
Facts!!!! Lol 🐐🤞🏾💪🏾😂
Part 26 😂😂😂
Fuxn Vladislav
him and John Wall have alot in common,if you know what I mean
Gill should have been a Hall of Famer but injuries plaque him half of his NBA career
Gilbert Arenas has always been a straight up simpleton. He may be the biggest immature simpleton the NBA has ever seen. He still to this day needs constant attention...
