Evolution of Point Guards and Underdog Recognition

Gil's Arena Reacts To The 1st Round Of The NBA Draft as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew break down the storylines of the opening night of the NBA Draft and tell their stories of how it felt to hear their name called and enter the NBA. They kick things off with the #1 overall pick Cooper Flagg who landed with the Dallas Mavericks and discuss how the NBA's next rookie phenom will impact the team still reeling from the Luka Doncic trade. They also react to LeBron James' high praise for the former Duke Blue Devil and discuss how much the Mavs' strong supporting cast of Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson and Kyrie Irving will impact Flagg in his rookie season. They then react to the San Antonio Spurs adding 2 lottery picks in this year's draft including #2 overall pick Dylan Harper and break down how close this Spurs team is to contending as Victor Wembanyama enters his 3rd season with a roster loaded with young talent. Next, they continue their discussion on Ace Bailey who intentionally plummeted his draft stock only to end up with the Utah Jazz, sparking a debate on if the Rutgers superstar played himself throughout the draft process before giving a breakdown on the current state of the Philadelphia 76ers who passed on Bailey to pair VJ Edgecombe with their impressive core of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Jared McCain. They then welcome comedian, actor and entertainer CP into the Arena to discuss his upcoming special Sunday After Six and virtually sit down with Award Winning Journalist Henry Abbot to discuss his new book "Ballistic" and give his take on the injury issues tearing through the NBA. Finally, Gil takes on more heat for his take on Ring Culture and offers a hostile response to Draymond Green who called out Gil & The Arena for having a take on championship culture despite never sniffing the Larry O'Brien during his playing days.
