Gil's Arena Reacts To Team USA's BEATDOWN Of Brazil in the 2024 Paris Olympics as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew break down Team USA advancing to the Semifinals of the Olympic basketball tournament with a massive victory on the backs of Devin Booker & Anthony Edwards and discuss if the team's dominance will continue as they gear up to face Nikola Jokic and the Serbian national team. They also react to Joel Embiid's up and down performance throughout the Olympics and debate if he made the right call in joining the team this summer before reacting to Kevin Durant overtaking Lisa Leslie to become the all time leading scorer in American hoops. Next, they discuss the France vs Canada game on the other side of the bracket where Victor Wembanyama and the French upset Shai Gilgeous Alexander & Team Canada, who many expected to meet Team USA in the gold medal match. The Crew breaks down what this tournament means for Wemby's development heading into his sophomore season before reacting to Rudy Gobert getting benched after coming up short in another big moment. Finally, Gil & The Crew give their take on Lauri Markkanen agreeing to star with the Utah Jazz and discuss what this means for the Golden State Warriors as their options to replace Klay Thompson and keep Steph Curry happy at the end of his career are slowly dwindling away.
