About this episode
Victor Wembanyama Proved He's About To TAKEOVER The NBA according to Gilbert Arenas as Gil & The Gil's Arena Crew react to Wemby's 40 point performance to tip off the NBA Season and break down how the San Antonio Spurs superstar is taking the leap in his 3rd NBA Season. They highlight his unbelievable night on the court and debate if his unique offseason training featuring Shaolin monks & Hakeem Olajuwon unlocked a new level in his game before breaking down how the Spurs may be positioned as the NBA's next Oklahoma City Thunder level dynasty with their superstar in Wembanyama surrounded by an elite core of young players. They then shift over to the other side of the court to break down Cooper Flagg's NBA Debut where the #1 overall pick struggled to get going in his first NBA regular season game, sparking a debate on if the Dallas Mavericks should reconsider running their new face of the franchise at point guard to start his NBA Career. Next, they move over to analyze the 3rd pick in this summer's NBA Draft as VJ Edgecomb shined by dropping 30 points in his NBA Debut and ushered in a new era for the Philadelphia 76ers led by himself & Tyrese Maxey. The Gil's Arena Crew breaks down the Sixers' ceiling with the young guards leading the way and discuss if it's time to be concerned about Joel Embiid as the process looked dreadful in the first game of the season. Finally, they whip around the NBA to cover action from Ja Morant vs Zion Williamson, Cleveland Cavaliers vs New York Knicks and discuss how the NBA's newest TV deal is hurting diehard fans.
