Marques Johnson was NICE. Knew he was but didn't know he was 27 ppg in the 80s NICE that's hof level

[@SmokiiMoc]

he only did it for one year.. And that was his best year in his career.. u take the outliers out and hes a career 20 ppg scorer. What i thought he was originally. Not 27

[@skaylingop9673]

Me just now realizing that at 6’7 with an athletic build, I should have been going to every All-Star game.

[@ksmoothe]

Josiah, I'm much older than you, and remember those Bucks teams. your father, was NICE.

[@sontewong9935]

Doing the show with your dad is dope! Mr. Johnson when I want money. 🤑

[@ckaiborbor]

Gil funny AF bringing up G-Unit when he just said rapper don’t have influence on ball players

[@spencerwhitsett9350]

Right

[@thakiid8568]

You know he'll say anything to win a arguement

[@67DREADS]

And they didn’t call him out like wtf 😂

[@jamiefox9245]

That All Star Weekend in DC was bananas.R Kelly was in Republic Gardens singing acapella. A regular weekend in the early 2000’s was crazy with H20,Dream,Ritz etc.My homie was 6’6” so we would finesse our way in the ViP room inside the VIP room in H20,lol.

[@stickem2444]

11:00 Gil talking about g unit but a few weeks ago he told mccants nba players don’t feed off of rappers! CRAZY

[@thestylemind4922]

13:40 Gil ain’t lying. Works out here in AZ for Spring Training and you don’t need to be 6’7” for it to work. These 304s will believe anything you tell ‘em as long as you look the part.

Gil said he never cared abt rappers now he talkin bout g unit 😂😂😂

[@IconSince87]

We all knew Gil was in denial when he was trying to say rappers didn’t influence NBA players.

[@deshawncurry2029]

Funny Gil shouting out 50 and Gunit and how they was imitating them but when McCants spoke about this and music's influence on athletes he tried to downplay it.

[@SouthsideHardhead601]

Didn't even down play it .. He straight up said IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

[@jeffreylanier222]

Marques Johnson was a real baller & scorer. Him and Terry Cummings

[@andrebrown2695]

He could have scored 100,000 points in the league, He is still Raymond from White Men Cant't Jump

[@67DREADS]

Gil over there talking about how everybody was wearing the tank top and whatever because of G-Unit, but just the other day was arguing saying rappers never affected what basketball player did or bought 😂

[@williesmith9638]

Yep. It’s criminal he’s not in

[@Dmac87]

Great story telling

[@notoriousd.a.d]

I remember the ‘01. Women were lining up the block around the old convention center

[@timothymiller5389]

Gil was just arguing that hip hop didn’t influence the NBA and now he’s saying that 50cent had everybody wearing them g unit tank tops on sound like influencing to me

[@terrellsmith785]

He said for him and that it was hard to believe they were influence because so many in the league were doing stuff which cause their teammates to want it a well

[@dayizzokid]

2002 was philly and AI rented out an entire mall downtown for the afterparty n yes it was a ton of minks out there

[@skillz78]

The Gallery. My hometown was turnt when All Star came. So much fun.

[@damianbaileyfitness9348]

They need THIS. Have an OLD OG on here

[@sportsactuary8574]

Mr. Johnson was one of my favorite players. In college he played with my high school classmate, Andre' McCarter. If Mr. Johnson had not held out in a salary dispute he would have made both the 50 and 75 year teams. He wasn't the same player after missing a year of competition.

[@khiefer]

Getting better

[@certifiedchaos4643]

Kenyon was snubbed a few years in New Jersey and he probably could have got a few more of he stays on the east

[@Winnerzcircle1]

I respectfully disagree. Kenyon Martin was never snubbed, he was An average role player at best.

[@certifiedchaos4643]

@@Winnerzcircle1 he put the same number two year’s consecutive prior to making the all star. In his prime he average 23 in the finals vs the lakers (role players don’t do that )he was 17 and 8 am also he was premier defender. His first 6 seasons he was really good was he a super star no but he was all star all nba caliber player He might have been a role player later on his career after multiple knee injuries

[@lieutenantyale]

You know damn well he was doing more than getting a contact high.
