  • Gil's Arena EXPLODES Debating Who Ran The 2010's Thunder as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil’s Arena Crew ERUPT over who was the leader of the “what if” Thunder between Kevin Durant & Russell Westbrook. They argue over who was the alpha both on and off the court & get heated over hypotheticals that remove KD from the Golden State Warriors and place the future Hall Of Famers on the same team while in their prime alongside James Harden.
    Gil’s Arena premieres every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

      I can't believe they were actually arguing that Russ and Harden would have played better if there was a WCF MVP on offer. As if these guys need any extra motivation to try to win, or to take over games.
      Also no one asked what about how Russ played in the finals that they lost against the Heat while he knew there was a finals MVP trophy available.

    Russ doesn't get enough slander. Imagine having a 7 ft tall 4x scoring champion on your team, and still taking more, averaging more shots per game than him. Y'all realized russell westbrook only averaged 10 assist ONCE. with KD ON his team? He was always trying to prove he was #1. they put KD's bad game on a microscope, but ignore Westbrook inefficiency and bone headed decisions.

    How Gilbert is 42 and act like he don't remember the 80s and 90s narratives. Brandon remembers it better than him and he's younger. The media absolutely tried to start the "Who's Team is it?" between Magic and Kareem very early on. They pushed the narrative very early and kept pushing it. Heck Winning Time is fictionalized, but even that gives you a hint. Media tried to drive a wedge between them.

    • @demetrioshilton6264
      @demetrioshilton6264 2 месяца назад

      And that’s the key clutch time. This teams (OKC-Kd/Westbrook & Cavs-Ky/Bron) is when the narrative of a team having a #1 #2 on equal footing Vs who’s role was it to CLOSE IN THE CLUTCH. I also blame Brons second finals with Ray Allen. It just shows you when you have a deep squad with shooters that anyone can close the game. But it doesn’t necessarily have to be the #1 option based on shooting pct%. If your not a clutch player, are you truly a #1 option. That’s the real question

    KD left because he was tired of playing 2 on 5 every game.
    It’s insanity that KD and Westbrook would have to score 30+ each (including a Westbrook double or triple double) just for OKC to barely win, add the fact the GMs never brung in players that made the same impact James Harden & Daequan Cook did.
    That 2K offense can only get you so far. Not for three-four full seasons AND the playoffs.

    If KD really hated playing with Russ why did he stay with him for 8 seasons? Should of left after 2-3 seasons then

    That whole "Who team is it!!?!" is some young immature shit. Gil had the correct idea first before he let Rashad get him off track with that drug analogy.😎
