I don't know if his knees are on fire because you might not work out and he does that's the difference some people still work out so they don't have that problem that's the one thing when you don't use your joints that's when that happens when you don't stay exercised he probably stays exercised and probably works out a lot more than the regular Joe so I don't know if his knees are on fire but people need to think about what they're saying he is next athlete so we probably still trains you guys don't
@@livedeliciously so I'm assuming you made the comment thinking that it's go left, right, or over. While it's actually shoot, pass or drive. With that in mind, your comment made no sense, not even in a sarcastic way. And the fact that so many ppl liked your comment just made me realize how many of you actually played the game in a competitive environment.
Footwork is clean … form is good. He was very hard to guard for a while in the NBA before his injury. Look like it’s all still there … except for the athleticism probably but he’s a marksman!!
My pops use to coach high school and 1 of his former players showed up and he played pro in Greece and was the Greek league mvp and he was head and shoulders better then everybody pulling up from half court on 4 straight possession made it every time and he didn’t even sprint not 1 time just walked everybody down and shot over them
A 40-year-old who keeps in shape only shows a significant decline in lateral speed relative to their prime. Forward speed doesn't drop off nearly as quickly. Peak strength for men is reached around the Mid-40s.
This reminds me of every rec in every city I've been in, has that old man that's not fast, can't jump, not big, but game go to 12, he's going to hit 8 on your ass 🤣

@@Cutthroat__ Nah, that's some bullshit. Basketball is not a simple game at all. There's a reason why coaches draw plays. Why scouting reports analyze player habits and defensive schemes. Why the smartest players watch hours and hours of game footage to get an advantage. I could go on and on about the complexities of the game itself. Now if you wanna talk king of the court with some washed up players, then yeah, maybe it is simple. Otherwise, you don't know what you're talking about. Lol.
Don't need stamina.. Pick your spots.. Wisdom and experience is how you maintain. Don't need to be running all over the court the whole game like these younger players do and STILL aint doing much to change the gsme itself or impact the game. Its called letting the game come to you. You get into a zone that way that can't be stopped once that happened. Thats how he gave a very good defender like Kobe 60 points in a game...

@@apostlej.k.diamond4119 You need stamina. 20 year Olds don't play half court NBA , it's 90 feet NBA range. Stamina matters when it comes to D1 NCAA & NBA. But half court game , Gil was a former all star, he'll shred any young guy up one on one.
Smooth, in control, get it his spot, no rush. That's a lot of repetition turned muscle memory. Most people have no idea how good afternoon good nba player is.
Gilbert still got it, cant even so him when he's going half speed . Literally a scoring machine. And he's the first person I remember to be shooting from the logo before Steph and Lillard.
I'm just going to assume you're talking about 40 year-old Gilbert getting beat in the speed department. Because GA before his knees started going was as fast or faster than anyone in the game. He was explosive, the way Westbrook is explosive.
Gilbert has developed that middle aged “Pops” game. Pump fakes and midrange dominance.

That was in his bag before the knee problems tho
