About this episode
Gil's Arena Breaks Down The NBA Cup Quarter-Finals as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the Elite 8 of the NBA's In Season Tournament where Shai Gilgeous-Alexander turned in a dominant performance to carry the OKC Thunder into the 2nd Round and Giannis Antetokounmpo & Damian Lillard escaped an upset to the Orlando Magic, adding another NBA Cup victory to Darvin Ham's resume. They debate if any team should want smoke with the Thunder after they proved themselves in a playoff atmosphere and continue their hostile discourse on if they Bucks need to bolster their team with more firepower than Mr. B's energy. Next, they react to AJ Dybantsa's shocking commitment to BYU over blue bloods like Duke, UNC & Alabama and break down how NIL is cooking college basketball and development in young hoopers. Finally, Nick Young remembers Kobe Bryant's infamous rant during practice where he called out the entire Los Angeles Lakers roster and the Gil's Arena Crew tries to figure out why superstar athletes, most recently Joe Burrow, continue to be robbed in broad daylight.
