About this episode
Gil's Arena Reacts To The 1st BIG MOVE Of The NBA Offseason as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the Boston Celtics tearing down their championship core and sending Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trailblazers in exchange for Anfernee Simons and 2nd Round Picks. They break down what this trade means for Boston as they know have to navigate next season without 2 key pieces on their roster in Holiday & Jayson Tatum and debate if the C's are still a threat in the NBA's Eastern Conference. They also break down Jrue's role on a young Portland Trailblazers squad and discuss if he's enough to turn the team into a contender this season. Next, they welcome Super Bowl Champion and host of FS1's Speak Keyshawn Johnson into the Arena where he gives his take on the breaking news that this will be Aaron Rodgers' final NFL season as the vet prepares to quarterback the Pittsburgh Steelers this season and gives an inside look at his legendary NFL Draft Party in 1996. He also takes us through Paul Pierce walking to 20 miles to work following the Boston Celtics' loss in the NBA Playoffs before breaking down his thoughts on the sale of the Los Angeles Lakers and what that means for Luka Doncic & LeBron James heading into next year. They then react to the OKC Thunder's championship parade and discuss how the small market finals overcame the narrative as Game 7 produced the most watched NBA Finals Game in 6 years. Next they react to Tyrese Haliburton's emotional reaction to his season ending Achilles tear and debate what's next for the Indiana Pacers before giving a post-mortem for the Phoenix Suns following the Kevin Durant trade and discussing the next move for Devin Booker in Phoenix. Finally, Gil reacts to Eddie Johnson & Draymond Green coming at him for his take on ring culture on First Take and offers a hostile response to both legendary hoopers.
