6:23 Gil, HAS stated IN JEST (joking) that he was more concerned with scoring than anything else, he won't concerned with defense, he was a self-proclaimed ballhog, that 1-4 flat joke, etc.,. But stats don't lie, especially those of the players he played with and against. HERE is where when you play the jokester so often people (Brandon in this conversation) truly can't tell the difference and take you literal or don't take you (your perspective, your true intelligence) at all (seriously) - I think that's a shame and he's selling himself short, so in affect, a lot of other people do as well. All the very good points and arguments he makes sometimes get lost within the jokes and trolling.

@@n.Lenice there’s no such things as a ball hog in the NBA They pay the top guy to take all the shots that’s their job second there are plenty of episodes where Gil also explains he didn’t have to play defense because Point Guards wasn’t Score first Guards, BJ and Rashad know that Stack was Directly speaking about Gil and they tried to be shady about the shit BJ knows for a fact this Information and he knows Gil’s understand defense

But Gil didn't play defense 😂😂😂. If you watched him play....you would know that as clear as day. And whenever Gil talks about defense he tries to undermine its importance. And tbh, Gil didn't regularly compete on the defensive end (something Stak said in his video). There's a reason Gil was so tight in the video 😂

One can say that the term hooper is simply slang for basketball player. The difference is basketball player A may only be good at playing ball in an unstructured setting while player B is better at playing ball in an organized setting. Both are basketball players just on different levels I guess

This one of the dumbest fucking conversations I ever heard in my life bro

[@steevebecco5539]

A "hooper" is slang for someone who plays basketball, typically with notable skill, dedication, or passion for the game. It's often used to describe a player who spends a lot of time on the court, whether professionally, in pickup games, or at a high level of competition. A hooper is known for their ability to score, handle the ball, and contribute to the team on both ends of the court. The term can apply to players of all levels, but it's commonly reserved for those who display a high level of talent and love for basketball.

Being a good defender is solely based on your willingness to take on the task of guarding the scorers. If you are willing to take on the assignment of guarding a scorer. Then go on the other end and be the one your team relied on to get buckets, then you are a hooper.

Growing up I thought a hooper was a person that love to play basketball ANYWHERE (outside or gym) and was good at it. Most hoopers were born learning how to play outside
