About this episode
Dwight Howard Enters Gil's Arena Live as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew welcome the future NBA Hall Of Famer & NBA Champion into the arena to dish on his incredible NBA Career and how he sees the game today. The 3x NBA defensive Player of the year gets real on Rudy Gobert's impact (or lack thereof) on defense and breaks down Victor Wembanyama's defensive potential, answering the question of whether or not he'll be the greatest defender in NBA History. He also gives his take on this season for the Los Angeles Lakers ahead of his former teammate JJ Redick's first season and gives his perspective on the current state of the Lakers as he was on the last Laker team to win an NBA Championship. Finally, Dwight backs up his claim that the 2008 redeem team is the best olympic team of all time and explains why that team would wash the 2024 Team USA squad in a 7 game series. To conclude, No Chill Gil & The Crew react to Steph Curry's massive extension and debate if it's the right move for Steph to stick with the Golden State Warriors despite their failures over the last few seasons.
