Jalen Brunson's Superstar Status SETS OFF Gil's Arena

Jalen Brunson's Superstar Status DETONATES Gil's Arena as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the New York Knicks NBA Playoff Loss to the Indiana Pacers and get into a heated debate over if the NBA's Breakout star of the season should be considered a Superstar. After falling short of the Eastern Conference finals, the crew battles over the notion that Brunson can't be the main option on a championship team and compares his season to superstar point guards of the NBA's past.
Gil’s Arena premieres every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

Jokic has a country behind him... def a superstar

[@filsduzaire]

He is right! If my kids don't know you, you are not a superstar 😂😂They know steph but not clay, they know Brown but no Melo... They know Kobe but no Webber (Chris... Of the fab 5 fame 😂)

[@therealdannyfenton]

@@filsduzaire Kids though... i wouldnt expect a kid to know any players outside of Lebron KD Steph and Giannis, just cause you dont know players dont mean they not superstars... these are players who have thousands of jerseys sales, hundreds of thousands of votes for all star games... in my opinion, if youre known outside of your home country, you're a superstar. If you can go to brazil, france, china, etc and people know you and are huge fans of you, you're a superstar

By 1986 at the absolute latest it was crystal clear that Magic was better than Kareem. He was was hands down the better player when they won their final two championships in '87 & 88. He was absolutely the main guy on those teams.

Exactly. Magic won league MVP and Finals MVP in 87 averaging 26-13-8-2 in the finals. Gil just spews blasphemy with a straight face

Gil seems to be confusing the word superstar with famous. We don't care how many commercials you do this is about basketball. Jokic is the best player in the world. He's a superstar.

[@JuugMorant]

Superstar isn’t about production it’s about popularity……was tim duncan a bigger superstar than allen Iverson because he was the better player?

[@deebrown9263]

He's not a superstar, superstar are players ppl know even if they don't Watch basketball, ppl who watch basketball know he's great but he's not a superstar you can't market him

​@@deebrown9263If a player isn't top 10 level, they can't be in the superstar discussion. Instagram followers don't matter when we discuss which players are stars in the league. Tim Duncan is a all time great, but by your logic, he was just another star in the league.

[@user-nd2uq1xi4y]

I get both sides. Gil's superstar definition is marketability. But his criteria to exclude is accomplishments. That doesn't make sense at all. However, how superstars are created doesn't follow any logic or script. They are chosen and pushed based on the package.

[@philmoe]

I think Gil is having a hard time differentiating superstar and a mega star. You dont have to transcend the sport to be a superstar. Duncan, Dirk, Nash etc are superstars that dont get recognized outside of sports.Just bc you’re not bron, Kd, Steph doesnt mean you’re not one.

[@kidmelo1994]

No he not. He is actually correct

[@philmoe]

@@kidmelo1994 so youre telling me that you can win mvp 3 times,(something only 8 players have ever done)a win chip, finals mvp and destroy all advanced stats but bc you dont sell shoes youre not a superstar? The drugs these says must be potent

[@mitchrapp5214]

​@@philmoeYes by his definition of superstar and prob the NBAs as well. They care about money, views, hype. How much can you sell? Jokic not a superstar and neither was Tim Duncan but they are/were great players.

[@kidmelo1994]

@@philmoe Tim Duncan was never a superstar with all of his accomplishments. Part of that was due to sell another huge part was his personality is very closed off. Superstar kinda have to have the total packages from both off the court and on the court. Ant Edwards is a superstar cause he got a great game, Basketball attitude that the NBA been missing, and a personality that can sell.

[@philmoe]

@@mitchrapp5214 The nba thinks jokic is a superstar cuz his team is on every other night during the season. The league would be stupid not to promote its best player.

Since they oddly avoided that Magic subject lol Magic won in game 6 with 42 15 7. Kareem was out with a bad ankle. Drafted as a rookie that year with the number 1 pick. This was in 1980. He averaged 21 11 8. Magic went on to win 5 rings and played In 9 of the 10 years in the finals during the 80s. The physical era. The drug and alcohol era. The Hiv era. The Ronald Reagan era. The Larry bird,zeke and Michael Jordan era. Magic doesn't get the credit he deserves

Gilbert is just projecting his insecurities on to Jalen. Gil had a hot two- three year run but Gil's career tailed off due to Injuries & Stupidity. The difference between Gilbert and Jalen is that Jalen is unselfish most importantly he's a winner.

Difference is character and maturity too

Insecurities where? Jalen Brunson is a star, he's not a superstar. Not until his face starts trending like Curry, Bron, Tatum, Kobe, Mike. You reachin with the hate, you probably didn't even listen to the point he was trying to make.

Its all of it. There’s not one thing that makes someone a superstar. Rashad brought up Steph winning championships, which was apart of him becoming a superstar. But it was also the MVPs, signature shoes, having the most popular selling jersey. Even being on camera with his daughter. There’s a lot off the court that goes into being a superstar.
