That’s a leverage point. They do that because they know Pat Riley will say no so it steers the team towards having to send the player where he actually wants to go.

For the only time in my life, I agree with rashad. Gil has a point on that the Miami PLAYERS bring the franchise to the front, BUT shad is right that jimmy has to take blame/accountability for the issues with the team. What Gil is forgetting about, (because he's only speaking on the RECENT issues that have come to light), is that jimmy hasn't been JIMMY the last year and a half. The Heat has been a PLAY-IN team for the LAST TWO SEASONS. The reason Pat Riley told jimmy to STFU, is because he KNOWS CLEARLY and is UNHAPPY with his MAIN STAR not giving a fuck about the regular season and only turns up for the playoffs, but BARELY making the playoffs AIN'T Miami Heat basketball. And Pat is tired of the shit. If jimmy were being Jimmy, Miami would be a lot better than its current record. Pat suspended him NOT because jimmy spoke out of line with the media, but because he's been DETRIMENTAL to the team over the SEASON, NOT just because he spoke some shit recently. His body language. Not being engaged on the bench when he's sitting. QUITTING on his teammates. Tyler is clearly over the BS. Bam is being diplomatic. But the ON COURT PLAY is very telling about how the players feel about jimmy and the shit right now. It's unfair to the other guys. jimmy is BUGGIN.

@@Colombiaguapo They haven't achieved the same level of success? The farthest they got with Gil was getting swept in the second round by the Heat.

All you have to do is be a consistent watcher of this show to know the Washington organization was a frat house when Gil was there. And he brought guns to the locker room. How untouchable do you have to feel to pull a stunt like that? That's definitely feeling like you're bigger than the team. To answer your question, that's what I'm talking about.

[@Colombiaguapo]

@ The wizards that got swept by the cavs lost to a cavs team that went to the finals. Gilbert has been engaging in off-court antics his whole life even during his college basketball days. That has nothing to do with the organization making him feel untouchable. You’re just making up narratives. Gilbert would behave the same no matter what team he was playing on because it’s his personality. Furthermore, every team in the league would have put up with it because he was a superstar in his prime.

@ I never said the organization made him feel untouchable. He felt untouchable all in his own. Like you just said, he’s been engaging in off the court antics all his life.

Yeah Pat Riley act like more important than the players ... this gonna backfire on him.. He didn't do Wade right

[@weneedareset]

he's already a legend...wdym???

[@iluvcakes19]

That's the problem with the League.. players think they are bigger than the team. Pat Riley knows this isn't true.

[@mexia23]

@@iluvcakes19 i agree with this but he handled this all wrong. he know he was disgruntled already cause he wanted a new contract. he saying stuff in the media that irritated Jimmy. Jimmy wrong too for quitting on the team. they both handled this situation bad.

[@cizlrb]

Lol I love this episode!

[@oregonizesavage503]

Jimmy haven’t been happy since Dame went to the Bucks 😂

[@lordsonjoachim1847]

I haven't been happy since, either

[@SpoetyBone318]

Rashad was holding his own this episode I cant lie lmaooo

[@TTJJCC]

What the hell is Gilbert talking about? Pat left LA after Magic announced he had HIV.

[@cbreeze9012]

Riley was let go the season before in 1990, after the Lakers(the #1 seed, and 63-19) lose to the Suns in the 2nd round in 5.

[@citizengoon1139]

Now you just trolling 😂 GOOFY

[@willself1]

Butler’s game is way overrated and the fact that he is a head case that destroys every team he joins makes me wonder why anyone would sign him let alone go all in on him.

[@RobertWatkins-xu9xw]

Jimmy has been waiting to sabotage his teammates that's just the way he thinks he has to backstab somebody that's why he quit

[@IdontreadYouTubeReplies]

Glad somebody said it. Just like Westbrook, everyone else always can't be the problem wherever you go. Eventually it's time to look in the mirror.

[@mitchy2311]

Casual take

[@CasperTheGreat]

🤡

[@steffineurkell938]

I PROMISE I thought those heads were Stephen A Smith until i looked CLOSER 😂😂😂

[@rodh-ww6ii]

Pat is historically UNPROFESSIONAL…. Look at how he left LA, look at how he got to Miami …how he handled D-Wade’s free agency …

[@Zeus0886]

How he left LA was ok it was mutually agreed upon. How he left NY is another story

[@yusefguzman9595]

9 rings

[@renherbo955]

You treating south beach like a prison 😂😂😂😂

[@ByJeffnology]

As a Miami Heat fan, McCants with a super rare good take on heats situation. Gil playing down Pat Riley’s greatness is crazy.

[@visiousthevip2008]

Gil is just salty. Since Pat did want to pay him back in the days and he never got to win anything in his Carrer sorry just he did a year suspension by Stern for playing gangster lol now he wants to downplay PAT greatness. SAD I was starting to like his podcast but with comments like tonight he just reminds me he still the big mouth fool, that Wade had to show him what greatness was when he started to talk shit about him back in the days GIL try had to call him to his hotel to apologize as he he realizes the stupid shit he had done. He is a funny individual, but he just doesn't think what he says before he says it that is SAD.

[@TheJasanta21]

What’s good about the take? They don’t go after free agents it’s very apparent. The big 3 orchestrated that free agency when they went to Miami. McCants had a few solid points but his take overall is kinda shaky

[@coachtee6394]

Right, makes absolutely no sense...Gil is a clown for that

[@kbjr9423]

​@@coachtee6394gil is 100% right wtf are y'all on

[@shawtyrone4207]

Pat greatness??? Mf it’s the players greatness that made him.

[@koalabearss]

Wow Gil, I like you in this argument 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉 good job bruh 😎

[@PASSION-4-FASHION]

Rashad be talking like he won multiple titles and he was the mvp of the team . He be killing ne.

[@mitchy2311]

Winning titles doesn't validate your statements

[@Cream-2128]

And exactly what do you think Gilbert be doing?

[@D_-zj4nz]

This debate was good had my interests wish it was longer

[@jamarcus93]

Ja Morant to the Heat will be 🔥 🔥 🔥

Added to Our Culture Now Playlist🏆

[@melvinflint9714]

Hes bout to leave his 58th team for a reason, hes all about himself! I'm thrilled he never played here n never will

[@CUEonit]

THANK YOU

[@robertoalvarez2056]

Man, i have lived in Miami all my life, and it sicks here. Especially now after all these New Yorkers moved down here.

[@shawncain882]

How would people view Pat Riley's time with the Heat if Dwayne Wade wasn't the player and person he is? Heat Culture was set by Riley, but its success came courtesy of Wade, who fell into the Heat's lap at #5 in the 2003 draft. Wade carried the Heat to 2006 championship his friendship with Lebron helped get him to come to Miami and they won 2 more championships with Wade. Wade who became good friends with Butler on Chicago, and he helped recruit Jimmy to Miami. Then Jimmy helped Miami make two more Finals appearances. Riley is 79, and it's time for him to step down and go enjoy the rest of his life with his family

[@johncalvo1743]

So what?! EVERY team that wins a championship won it because they had studs carrying them. No one is going to win with a bunch of scrubs. Miami went to two finals with a bunch of scrubs. The Big 3 Heat LOST twice.

[@shawncain882]

​@johncalvo1743 , so what is exactly what TF I said, and I don't care how you feel about it. 🙄

[@KingKromah]

Gil went facts mode here.

[@goats_born_in_august1]

Nick young funny asf “fine pat who gone fine pat” 😅

[@shadescal521]

You can't hear a damn thing. Gil has turned into one of those shows everybody just yelled over each other.

[@Mister75199]

Basically heat isnt for someone without discipline ie gilbert, butler, kenyon

[@noyce.]

I hope you're not referring that Shad/Nick has discipline

[@noyce.]

Shad's method of arguing is constantly being loud and not letting the other's words land 😂and then looking over to those behind the camera for affirmation/acknowledgement. This ain't no debate 😂this a kindergarten argument.

[@bo0gi3]

Those travis scott’s with pink laces fire, nick fit tough

[@dsj6677]

GIL AND THE GUYS TALK ABOUT TEAMS GOING UNDEFEATED AND WHAT IT TAKES TO EXECUTE PERFECTION... LIKE MICHEAL'S 6-0 BULLS....THE 72 17-0 MIAMI DOLPHINS....THE 2023 15-0 MICHIGAN WOLVERINES.

[@Championismchampionist]

One of the worst-kept secrets in the NBA is, that guys don't want to go to Miami because they make you work and hold you accountable.

[@comedianjlewlewsosilly6726]

Say what u want gil can break down how us as fans are thinking and looking at teams with moves they make. He was absolutely right when he went on the rant about jimmy asking for one more star after losing the championship

[@dco419]

So Miami holds players accountable too well that’s the problem

[@deetooreckless28]

Preach gil

[@cblack3737]

They made it to 2 NBA finals with Jimmy

[@thetarheel2010j]

Paul Pierce uttered some of the same things they’re saying. Pat is doing more harm than good to the Heat…

[@Legendkilla12]

If Jimmy opt out he ain't getting a deal he wants better opt I get that 52M Florida state tax free

[@vaijonhorton640]

This show is everywhere😂

[@VincentSimpsonsr]

When he played they went to the finals and when he didn’t because he was hurt they didn’t go nowhere Pat is full of shit.He’s on a power trip and Gil’s right he think he’s bigger than the players and he’s not

[@EvilLeBron]

I wanted to hear McCants talk about "loyalty to the game."

[@Colts5]

It’s really hard to hear when everyone talks over each other

[@2Fly4Wordzz]

Gil b cooking dem fools
