About this episode
Gil's Arena Throws A SPOOKY Halloween Special as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew Return to Gil's Arena to celebrate Halloween & the start of an incredible NBA Season with a terrifyingly special episode of everyone's favorite hoops podcast. They tip off the show reacting to another Austin Reaves masterclass as Lemon Daddy continued his unbelievable run as the Los Angeles Lakers #1 options with LeBron James & Luka Doncic out with injury and debate if the Lakers actually have a shot if their 2 superstars need time off this season. Next, they react to an old school NBA rivalry brewing between Anthony Edwards & Shai Gilgeous Alexander as the young superstars threw jabs at each other in recent marketing for their signature shoes and debate if Ant-Man is on the same level as Shai despite not winning nearly as many accolades as the Oklahoma City Thunder's reigning MVP winner before reacting to VJ Edgecombe & Tyrese Maxey leading the Philadelphia 76ers to an improbable 4-0 start, sparking a debate on the ceiling of this team when Joel Embiid finally starts to look like his MVP self. They then break down the offensive onslaught to start the NBA season as the league has seen over a dozen 40 point games and a record breaking four 50 burgers in the first 2 weeks of NBA action, launching a discussion on if offense has simply become too good in the modern NBA before they break down the the international dominance taking over the association led by Victor Wembanyama, Shai, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Nikola Jokic and debate if this will be the first time we see an all international All NBA first team. Finally, react to Michael Jordan's recent comments on the load management problem in the NBA on NBC and celebrate Halloween with a spooky secret scary segment. PLEASE give us a Like and Subscribe!!
