The Milwaukee Bucks' NBA Cup Championship DESTROYS Gil's Arena as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the Bucks taking down the Oklahoma City Thunder to win The NBA Cup Championship and discuss what this means for Doc Rivers, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and the rest of the Bucks squad as this in season championship completes a monumental turn around after a rocky start to the season. They also break down what the Oklahoma City Thunder can learn from playing in a high stakes environment and how this loss sets them up for the NBA Playoffs before reacting to the NBA announcing a new format for the All Star Game. Next, Gil and the Gil's Arena Crew react to more turmoil for the Philadelphia 76ers as Jared McCain and Joel Embiid both went down with injuries and GET REAL on Stephen A Smith's comments on First Take that Embiid is getting closer and closer to being branded as an injury-prone superstar like Ben Simmons.
