By that logic you should only accept advice and intel from currently active players, which a lot of young players do.
He’s right.
But a lot of NBA fans collectively want to live in the 90’s and think by doing so they can force everything & everybody to hop in a Time Machine. I said this last year about Brandon Ingram saying he’s been watching game film trying to copy Jordan’s moves in the mid post. It’s completely pointless in 2023 NBA basketball. Hakeem’s post move package is completely irrelevant for a C to have in 2023 NBA basketball because teams arent going to slow the game down for THAT to consistently be a 1 on 1 possession in their offense. It’s like that silly announcer asking Kareem if he’s going to teach Wemby the “sky hook” for fu#king what? The aesthetic?

n1ggas aint fu#kin wit Gil they know he play wit that fie lol
I disagree. What you’re saying is right in the sense of the game has changed where more bigs play from the outside. But if you’re trying to be a well rounded player you have to be able to play in the post or mid post at some point in the game. What I’m saying is at some point within a game or a season because the nba is a 1v1 iso game, at some point you’re gonna be in the post and have to get a shot from that spot. Game gonna be on the line and you gotta beat your man from the post or mid post. That’s where this training comes into play. To be a traditional back to the basket player we know that’s dead but at some point somebody is gonna be in that situation and throw up some bullsh1t. The response will be why that mfr ain’t learn no post game. I agree nobody is playing that way as a style, but situationally you better be prepared than not. If Ben Simmons worked out wit Dream he wouldn’t have been scared to shoot that sh1t that got him traded
So you wouldn't study Rockafeller or J.P Morgan's business practices in 2023??
Surprised no one kicked Gilbert in his a$s by now, dude always saying some dumb sh1t
His own teammate who knew he played with that fire was about to kill him in the lockerroom and had his dumb a$s looking for help.

So these dudes can spend 100k at the strip club and 500k on jewelry but cant spend 50k to work on their craft lol
What a fu#kin clown. This is why we about to have a 3rd place finish in the Olympics this summerv and why its only 1 American big man in the top 10 smh
Maybe 50 if he came to me but if I have to go to him 50k to much
I agree with the first part but I disagree with the second part and overall sentiment because it never hurts to add to your bag and getting a bucket is still getting bucket because when it's crunch time and they shut down your offense you have to do what you have to do to score
Kobe wasn’t good since 2012 and hadn’t played a game since 2016.
n1gga it’s almost 2024.
Things have drastically changed since then.
And Kawhi & KD are 2 of the 10 greatest SFs ever, we talking Brandon Ingram.
changed to what ? hunting for three pointers
"get with the times"
its going back to being a big mans game
im glad giannis smartened up and decided to work with hakeem
he will be more effective in the post than he would ever be shooting threes
MHP th0tTY
It’s not what you do it’s how you use it. Gil could easily be training some young players instead of saying this or getting Dream on his show to interview him. It’s way too right ways he could’ve done this. Corny sh1t like this makes you shake ya head
your center mitchell robinson is trash he should be trying to get a post game
and if julius spent more time in the post than he did hurling threes yall might get somewhere also
knicks fan
Continuing to be an a$$hole I see.
Being an a$$hole is what ended his career early
Lol @ y’all defending Hakeem for this. That price out of pocket for outdated moves. Any basketball fan knows that trying to score on the block all game in THIS league is inefficient.
