People who hate on Gil doesn’t realize how good he was. Injuries killed his career

[@DreeZakaJedi]

Agreed. Nobody hated on Gil as a player. But when you're on panels, talking about players who've won what he hadn't during his career, that's where the shade comes in at.

I love how Gil has been an honorary Laker /Laker fan ever since the lakers tried trading for him and the deal got messed up in the last minute … he knew he shoulda been a Laker at atleast some point of his great short career 🤙🏼🔥🔥 it woulda been amazing being able to see Agent 0 , Kobe and Pau on the same team 🏆💜💛

What I can’t understand is why Gil doesn’t have his own show on Fox sports or ESPN? When he speaks about basketball, I believe him, His knowledge and his answers make you feel as though you’re getting a true insiders point of view. Always interesting, sometimes provocative , truly enjoy his podcast also.

[@ideozublake8036]

gil’s good where he’s at where he can be himself. he already got an audience that fucks with him regardless. not like he needs the money anyway from these big networks.

[@Racoons4Change]

No one watches network television and he would have restrictions on what he can say as to he’s free to say anything on Gil’s arena or nightcap. KZbin allows him to make his own platform.

[@rashadvaughn6187]

If people actually give Gil a chance and listen to what he's saying, they would realize that he's good at analyzing the game of basketball. Even though his own career may not have reached its full potential because of injuries and past mistakes, people shouldn't use that against him in the media.

[@phillyblocktalktv]

The Warriors have went deep into the post season for 5 years in a row with an 8 man rotation… They are tired and the development of the bench has been thwarted by Dreymond’s behavior & Steve Kerr’s rotations.

[@williamtunsill]

FINALLY someone gets it!

[@davidcrittendon4657]

Honest question: do you believe that Draymonds actions have directly affected Steve Kerrs rotations? Seems like he can’t use the team how he wants to with Dray missing so much time that isn’t even due to injury. I believe mentally some of the younger players are getting frustrated that Dray is still able to just come back in and assume his starting role over players that actually love the game at this point in their careers
