About this episode
Gil's Arena GETS Real On LeBron James & The Los Angeles Lakers' COLD Streak as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the Lakers' worrisome loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves last night where LeBron James continued to not look like himself and JJ Redick finds himself with the same record that Darvin Ham had last year through 21 games. They break down who is as fault for this Lakers' losing skid and discuss if there are any moves out there that allow the Lakers to get back into the championship race, highlighting potential trades for Jimmy Butler or Zach Lavine. Next, they take a look at the NBA MVP Race where Nikola Jokic looks to be the favorite to capture his 4th MVP award despite the Denver Nuggets' struggles this season and Jayson Tatum still can't get enough love for being the best player on the NBA leading Boston Celtics. Then, they break down ESPN's top 25 NBA players under 25 where Victor Wembanyama & Anthony Edwards headline the future of NBA Superstars and LaMelo Ball's disrespectful ranking fires up the Gil's Arena Crew. Finally, Gil & The Crew react to the electric showdown between the OKC Thunder and Houston Rockets where Alpren Sengun, Fred VanVleet and the young Rockets proved themselves as a legit threat to the top of the Western Conference.
