On this episode, it’s a very special edition of the No Chill Podcast. We actually started this one a year ago and tracked DJ McDonald  from one season to the next. DJ’s basketball story is one we can all relate to. Every hooper of every ability goes through the ups and downs that the game throws at you. In DJ’s case, a promising high school career brought him to UC Riverside in California. But not making it in the rotation and being overlooked for one reason or another had DJ ready to give up on the game. He lost the love and the drive to grind and new he wasn’t the player he wanted to be. For Gil, this hit close to home... He’d known DJ and his dad Darryl for years in the Valley AAU scene. He’d watched DJ grow into a score first, aggressive guard with a promising future. Gil worked with DJ over the years and was on top of his progression. So we sat down with DJ in the summer of 2020 when he was at his basketball crossroads. You’ll find out just how down he was and pretty much checked out. Fast forward to this year and made his way to Colorado Christian and has been producing at a high clip. He re-dedicated his craft and rekindled his love to hoop.

On this episode, we’ve got another Valley legend and just a legend period, Paul Rodriguez. Coming up in Socal, PRod, started out with a love for skating and took the sport to another level. As skate culture identifies with creativity, dedication and constantly shifting the paradigm, he’s always been at the forefront of it. We focus so much on developing skill, passion, living and breathing your craft, and that is a major, common thread in the skate game. For Gil, he’s drawn to PRod’s elite level talent, but also his gifts. To try new things and think of the ultimate, ultimate tricks, is something that is close to his heart. PRod’s style and intellect was something that through their Nike connection, was also wisdom shared in with conversations with Kobe. In a sport where falling is given, it’s the character to get back up and keep pushing that’s what we can all draw from.

On this episode we’re going all in on the true love of skill in the game of basketball. Watching the postseason, skill is display at the highest level. We recognize the best players in the world going at each other with it all on the line. The deciding factor? Supreme skill. As Candice Parker pointed out after the Hawks knocked off the Knicks, when unleashed, skill wins every time. For Gil, that’s what it’s all about. As we saw with the Lakers coming up short, it wasn’t just about injury, execution or defense, they didn’t have enough skill to succeed. Over in Portland, it’s one thing to have a dominant, ultra-skilled player, but if not surrounded by a skilled enough roster, you don’t have a chance. We all see different things when we watch and study the game, but an examination of winning basketball points out one common thread, you’re not winning without skill.

On this episode, we have another lab session with Agent Zero. This time with two hoopers you should absolutely have on your radar. Fresh off of a Final Four run with the University of Houston, AAC Conference Player of the Year, Quentin Grimes is heading to the league and rising up draft boards. His training partner, the lefty bucket getter from Mississippi State, DJ Stewart is quickly moving from under the radar to head turner. As part of their draft prep, the two have paired to train together and made their way to LA to get some time with Coach Arenas. For Gil, beyond the evaluation and the skill work, he wanted to see where their heads were at. It’s not a question of how, it’s when. So many prospects go through the process, so Gil’s approach is to have an approach. Don’t be cookie cutter, unless you’re a cookie cutter player. And these two are far too dynamic and gifted to do anything but shine as pros.

On this episode, the postseason is upon us and this year, we’re looking to shuffle up the deck. It started out with a play-in tournament that needs some explaining. Sure, it might be a good idea, but after what we say this year, could definitely use some tweaking. Agent Zero has the answer. As for the playoffs slate, we have a lot of love for the East coming. Brooklyn stacked up and the question is...who can actually give them a run? But while we’re in the city, Mr. Anti-New York himself, Gilbert Arenas, has a take on Knicks fans that we apologize in advance for. But he actually has some surprising praise too. Speaking of praise, the Lakers have all the shine as usual, but it’s Chris Paul and his work in Phoenix the deserves a salute. We have a ways to go, of course this postseason, so we set the table as things ramp up.

On this episode, what do you get when you have college friends, teammates, rivals, NBA stars and lifelong jokesters? You have Richard Jefferson and Gil’s 20+ year friendship. Since meeting as AAU players, to a recruitment trip that almost made the whole thing fall apart, Gil and Richard have been going tit-for-tat for a long time. If one sets the bar, the other not only raises it, but makes it unreachable. For Gil, this comes from a genuine bond with Richard, not just from talent on the basketball court, but connecting as personalities. As Richard’s career showed us, he was a great athlete, a high flyer and an excellent teammate. Just like Gil, he had fun with it, but when it was game time, he was all the way locked in. For the both of them, that was the bond at Arizona, and coming from an ultra talented squad, they were able to stand out at the next level in the NBA.

On this episode, this is something we’ve been building up towards. We’ve talked a lot about the point guard position...how it’s changed, the value of scoring at the position and how to be a great point guard. Now, we’re bringing it all together, by examining how the point guard has evolved to this current era, where the position has never been more loaded with talent, more dynamic, or more skilled. For Gil, someone who -- as he points out to us -- led the progression to empowerment of the position in the current era, we’re witnessing a range of greatness across basketball. Gone is the era of the distributor and we’re living in the time of the shoot first, ultra gifted point guard. And we’re loving every ingle minute of it.

On this episode, we’re circling back a moment in basketball that propelled us to where the game is today. At the time, Brandon Jennings went from Oak Hill Academy to the Euroleauge, it was a move that puzzled and surprised many. Instead of going the college route, one of the top prospects in his class, Brandon knew he had the pro makeup, so he went overseas to make it happen. When he was drafted number ten overall in 2009, he entered the league with a year of pro experience under his belt and some money in his pocket. For Gil, Brandon was always that exceptional player who could score at will, a shoot first point guard and a shot creator, but he also had the vision to go against the grain. At the time the move made headlines, and only a few players followed suit. But as we’re seeing now, a pathway has been made where they don’t need to depend the college system to progress their careers. As for Brandon, enough time as gone by to look back at that chapter in his life with recognition for what he accomplished and where it took him to next.

Throughout sports history, there are distinctive moments and stories that alter the future of the game. Some tragic, some hard to process and some that leave us with the great “what if” dilemma. Len Bias’ death in 1986 was all of these and more.  Adam McKay has launched a new podcast, Death on the Wing which examines sports, history, politics and cultural analysis and is hosted by Academy Award Winner, the man behind Vice, The Big Short, Succession and iconic comedies Anchorman and Step Brothers.  We collaborated to get some perspective from a man that was a key figure in the iconic Lakers and Celtics rivalry of that era, Michael Cooper. We asked Coop about Len Bias and how history could have been different if the tragedy didn’t happen. And just how history could have been different for Boston if he lived to become the generational NBA star was destined to be. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode, we hit rewind and travel back to the Showtime Era. One of the essential members of that iconic squad, 5-time champion and 8-time all defensive teamer, Michael Cooper takes us through exactly what made that team so special. Looking at the impact their style of play had on the game, we can appreciate how so much of the modern era was influenced by Showtime. For Gil, it was the substance and the strategy that Pat Riley unleashed with Magic at the point. Not only did Magic revolutionize the position, his rivalry with Larry Bird and Boston defined the era. As Coop tells us, the Celtics were the ultimate opponent and the dynasty was only successful because everyone on the team bought and supported each other. It truly was a special chapter in NBA history, and as we see where the game has come from Showtime roots, we should appreciate it even more.

On this episode, we’ve got one of the baddest dudes in the fight game, Tyron Woodley. He’s a guy that has evolved from his beginnings as a wrestler coming out of the University of Missouri, to a masterful mixed martial artist. As Tryon sees it, it is an art form and the octagon is his canvas. This is something we can relate to, work on your skills and show the world what you’ve got when it’s time to compete. For Gil, the mindset of a fighter is fascinating. Think about it...what is inside you that makes you welcome punishment, pain and combat? And what does that moment of success feel like when you get the best of your opponent? You don’t have to put on the wraps to be fighter, it’s about that dog mentality. It’s about how you respond when your back is against the wall and all eyes are on you to strike back.

On this episode, we have a question for you...does being the most relevant make you the best? For all of us we become prisoners of the moment from time to time, and we’re quick to crown someone the GOAT or the top dog. Old school dudes will tell us back in their day it was tougher, more competitive...and not like it used to be. But the reality is, the current era is the most evolved, most prepared and most skilled. Mainly, because of those that came before them. For Gil, he points to the next wave as always the most relevant. Things end for every era at some point, so let the next up have their time. The past ones had theirs. It’s an argument that’s never ending, so let’s examine why we have it in the first place. Looking at the cycle of stardom, it all comes down to the window that exists for everyone. So in that time, shine in your window and let your accomplishments live. From there, the next generation will drive things forward.

On this episode, we tackle a big and timely topic in sports. The subject of equality. Throughout the history of sports, questions of fairness, an equal playing field and opportunities for athletes -- regardless of race, gender and age -- have existed. Movements have taken place and change has happened, but we’re still seeing roadblocks in the way of progress. So we’re diving into the heart of the issue and how to bring about change. For Gil, he sees where the future of sports is headed and what stands in the way of fairness. From the rules in place, to those who fear change, we need to examine the collective frame of mind around progress, what’s fair and the best course of action. We have examples throughout sports history...both the good and the bad...to learn from. As for the future, we want the best athletes to compete, succeed and push the game forward.

On this episode, we go big, with none other than Glen “Big Baby” Davis. Coming up as a manchild from Louisiana, Big Baby proved he could hoop with his unique combination of size and mobility. When he got to the pro level, he quickly figured out that to really make it, he’d have to use his unorthodox makeup to find his place in the league. Thankfully, he landed on a Boston team that was in win-now mode, and demanded its role players to get in where they fit in. For Gil, Big Baby was exactly the kind of guy you want on your roster -- does whatever he has to do for the team to win, doesn’t back down and will shine in his role. From there, Baby knew how to have fun and be himself. That Boston team had the big three, but they also had a team of personalities that became a brotherhood. That’s winning culture. There haven’t been too many players like Big Baby, and looking at what he’s done with basketball, he definitely deserves some more shine.

Smith. We all know Stephen A., but you may not have known he came up as a hooper, playing college ball at the HBCU school, Winston-Salem. That connection to the game carried Stephen A. through his entire career. We all know he can get his point across, but the most important thing is, he stands by what he says, and totally understands the athletes’ perspective. For Gil, it’s all about respect, and Stephen A. works to demand it and earn it. Of course he had a few things to say about Gil over the years, but now that Gil’s in another chapter beyond his playing days, it’s an entirely different conversation. On the basis of relationships, athletes and media members can actually coexist. As Gil sees it, it takes accountability and the willingness to look yourself in the mirror when putting the narrative in context. And as Stephen A. tells us, we root for guys to succeed, but it’s how they handle themselves that keeps us talking. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode, it’s All-Star time, and in a year that it almost didn’t happen, it’s better late than never. For those named to the teams each season, it’s a career accomplishment that goes on the resume and something we acknowledge for years to follow. For fans, we want to see the best come together and our favorite players show out on the stage. This season it’s going to be a brief All-Star experience, but let’s appreciate that the tradition continued. For Gil, a three-time All-Star himself, it’s a great accomplishment to earn. Players put in so much work and grind, so of course they’re grateful for the recognition. However, in the case of the guys that don’t make it or feel they should be starters rather than reserves, the All-Star roster can serve as a motivator. We should definitely know that these guys keep track of who’s who, and because the competitive spirit is always burning, they measure against each other. So let's dive into all things All-Star in 2021.

On this episode, back like he never left, the Swag Champ himself, Nick Young. Before he heads over to China to play in the CBA, Gil wanted to get Nick on, and give him a proper send off. Nick’s come a long way through his basketball journey both on and off the court. We dive into those early DC days that shaped his career and, of course recall a few legendary stories from back in the day. In addition to his unmatched fashion sense, Nick’s style of play was ahead of its time too.  For Gil, he recognized it early and figured Nick just needed a little...push. And push he did. But you gotta remember these are two hoopers from the Valley and will be forever linked as friends. So will we see them in arena together again? Time will tell. Until then, stay tuned for a 1-on-1 rivalry (both on and off the court) that has waited over a decade to declare a winner.

On this episode, we coach the man that runs the show at the most followed program in the country, Andre Chevalier, head coach of Sierra Canyon. His alumni includes Kenyon Martin Jr, Scotty Pippen Jr, BJ Boston, Cassius Stanley and Ziaire Williams. Coach Dre has the demands of a high profile team to handle, but it’s on level one hundred when you throw on the celebrity culture that surrounds the school. Their schedule takes them all over the map and they are the marquee name for every team they face. For Gil, it’s a balancing act of getting your players to produce, managing expectations, keeping the parents and outside influences all in the right place. It all comes down to philosophy and challenging your players. For Coach Dre, he has been delivering championships amidst sky high expectations. We see the success of the program and unmatched media attention for a high school team, but make no mistake about it, these boys get down to basketball and take care of business, while they get everyone’s best shot...every single game!

On this episode, we’ve hit a big number so we had to ring in the occasion with the one and only Dwyane Wade. DWade and Gil go way back, but there’s a lot to the friendship and the rivalry that we haven’t heard about....until now. Think back to when a young Dwyane Wade entered the league and how his career tracked from there. He’s a champion, a lock hall of famer, but really one of the players responsible for shifting what the league’s future looked like. For Gil, it is DWade’s talent that needs to be examined and appreciated. His style of play was remarkable and even affected the rules and the way games were played. Beyond that, what DWade did in Miami and the accomplishments of the Heat on the strength of player relationships, chemistry and legacy was game changing. Oh and both had a very special perspective on LeBron’s career, evolution and greatness.

On this episode, what starts out as a conversation about basketball evolves into a conversation full of life lessons. For John Lucas III, basketball has been life. His pops, John Lucas was a player, and has had a long career as a coach spanning multiple eras of the NBA. John grew up in the game, becoming a pro himself. He’s seen it from the perspective of the star, the back up, the journeyman and the rookie. The game took him all over the world, and is, for the most part, his identity. For Gil, John is the type of player who gets it. He knew who he was as a player, understands the business of the game and knows his big picture. That picture comes from a valuable lesson that any and every player will find out at some point...humility. No matter if you’re a GOAT or bench player, you experience L’s, cuts and failures of some kind at some point. As long as you learn from them, you’ll grow and be better off for the experience.

On this episode, we’ve a coach on the show! David Fizdale truly embodies the spirit of the game, with a nod to the old school, and a well adjusted connection to the current era of players. Coach Fiz came up in an era of basketball in LA before players moved around, and one where your community was rooted in the game. As Fiz’s basketball life took him out of his neighborhood and far beyond X’s and O’s, he’s established himself as one of the best minds in the game. For Gil, Coach Fiz has always been one of the good ones, who not only the street cred as hooper, but the pedigree with rings as an assistant in Miami, to the head job in Memphis and New York. We can’t wait to see where Fiz goes next, but we know he brings an enlightened world view to a team, filling in with a dedication to the game and the players committed to getting better. The best thing about Fiz is something we should all strive to mirror, his love of the game, and take part in bringing it to another level.

On this episode, we get a look at Agent Zero at work...this time as a coach. It’s one thing as a player to individually push yourself, work on what you need to make yourself better and understand what works for you. Now, Gil’s applying that to players as pupils, giving them the groundwork to become who they want to be as players. For Gil, it all comes down to competition. Your time in the gym has to be for one thing and one thing, to be the ultimate competitor. To push yourself beyond limits and be comfortable in the toughest conditions. And limits? There is no such thing. Time, reps, made shots...it’s as much as you want and as far as you want to go.

On this episode, we’ve got a Hall of Famer and one of the best receivers ever to throw on a helmet, the one, the only, Terrell Owens. You know him as the all-time great talent and larger than life persona, but there’s so much more to understand in terms of his mindset and approach to the game. Also, it’s about time we stop to recognize just how much of a pioneer he was in his celebrations and the flair he brought to the sport. Oh and he also is a hooper. For Gil, putting high level athletes on the basketball court is a unique challenge. For TO, we find out, he used the basketball court to work on elements of his receiver technique, from footwork to pivots to verticality, he translated it to the gridiron. And for multi-sport athletes, you can use TO’s effectiveness and production as proof that there are definite benefits in finding influences from other sports. That and being a freak athlete helps too...

On this episode, we jump right back into another NBA season. It was a short, short offseason, but looking at the glass half full for 2021, we’re getting a full season and the NBA cycle back on track. As much basketball as possible please! For some players, they didn’t get to the Bubble and have had long layoff, while for others it was a quick turnaround. Either way, hoopers staying hooping.] For Gil, as the season gets back, he wants to see who’s going to step up. From the guys in new places, the rookies ready to shine and the special few who are ready to take their game to another level, we'll get caught up quick. As for who wins it all...here’s a hint...he planning on another championship in LA. The NBA is back like it never left and we’re here for it!

On this episode, we take a trip back to the early 2000’s. In the early days of the internet and online media, a young Agent Zero became a blog sensation. His writer, current NBA beat reporter, New York Times best selling author and NBA on ESPN personality, Dave McMenamin. Back then, a young journalist on the rise, Dave was connected with Gil in DC to submit some entries to NBA.com. What they got was a whole lot more than expected. It was then that Gil discovered the power of the media, how to get his message out there, connect with fans, relay his perspective of the game and the world around it. Really, that takes us to today. With his playing days behind him, Gil has stayed connected with his fans, definitely knows how to deliver in interviews, in appearances, on shows and of course his podcast. But it had to start somewhere. And as we're seeing with the modern athlete, the use of the media and their own platforms to engage and communicate is a powerful thing. It’s something that is a must to first learn how it works, then apply your own voice and style. Once again, Agent Zero is blazing a trail.

On this episode, we run through the deep amount of young talent and future stars that we sat down with this year. When we set out to get familiar with the next wave of players, we wanted to give them an opportunity to pick the brain and learn from the one and only Agent Zero. Meanwhile, Gil wanted to see for himself what exactly this next crop was made of. Bottom line...the game is in good hands! From guys hitting the league, like Onyeka Okongwu or Cassisus Stanley, to the guys ready to make the leap like Josh Christopher and Kyree Walker, we got in deep with top tier talent. And then there are the top prospects like Peyton Watson, Amari Bailey and Jaden Hardy, they’re proving why they are ready to take run with the top spot. As for the up and comers, we found out from Mackenly Randolph, Juju Watkins and Skyy Clark that they’re getting ready early to change the game. Yup the game is in good shape and then some.

On this episode, we catch up with one of the most athletically gifted and psychologically prepared prospects ahead of the 2020 NBA Draft, Cassius Stanley. After one season at Duke and a product of southern California, Cassius is primed to make a splash at the pro level. While his 46-inch vertical catches your eye, it’s his poise and professionalism that will make him a difference maker in the league. Add in that year of polish under Coach K’s tutelage, and he’s set to have a huge payoff with his future team. For Gil, Cassius’ background is literally close to home. He’s watched him progress at Sierra Canyon and in runs against pros. As Gil recognized, it was just a matter of time before Cassius put together the nuances of the game with elite level athleticism. And by the looks of it, that time is now.

On this episode, we head out to Vegas to check out one of the top players in the country. One thing you should know about Vegas (if you didn’t know already) they hoop out there. It’s not just the Summer League or Team USA camps, Jaden Hardy is proof that top talent is out in the desert. His unique makeup puts him in a category that blends the attributes of a playmaker and an assassin. This means he can create for himself, teammates and flat-out takeover when he needs to. He’s also atop the rankings for the class of 2021, and his pedigree is that of success every step of the way. For Gil, what he sees in Jaden is supreme court presence and a cornerstone player. We always are wowed by highlights, but the higher up you go, you want that player that you can build around. And if there’s one thing to know, even if you’re top of the mountain, there’s always someone or something to chase. As Jaden goes, we love to see where that will be in the future.

On this episode, we’ve got two Wizards greats together. John Wall, DC’s franchise player has been working overtime and is set to return on another level. John is one of the most electrifying players in the league when healthy, and as he’s getting back to one hundred percent, it’s what he’s adding that is the most impressive. We catch up with him at the Sports Academy in California where he traveled to put in work and square off against the likes of Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and other top NBA talent in order to prep for next season. For Gil, he’s always got his eye on his little brother, and he wants to see John continue to grow in perspective and continue to refine his skill. With all of John’s ability, he has even more to accomplish. Above all, he’s a hooper and it’s the heart and character that will guide his actions and impact on the game. By all means, John Wall is back and with all that he’s driven by, we’re rooting for a big time return.

On this episode, we catch up with Darren Collison. Since hanging it up, Darren has moved on to a space where he is directly impacting the next wave of players. In 2019 he started Pro’s Vision, a full service training program based in Orange County, where he passes on his NBA experience, on court knowledge and rolls up his sleeves to get down to training top crop players. For Darren, he values the mentor role above all, as he stays connected to the game while watching his players' development. For Gil, this is the ultimate reward. Passing on the wisdom, while staying competitively connected in the game. As Darren explains the vision behind Pro’s Vision, the concept lines up directly with Gil’s focus on explaining the game so the next generation can be even better than the one that came before.

On this episode, we have a player that is in a position to have a next level impact on the game, break molds and shift the culture. Peyton Waston has been developing into a monster...and you will get to know him very soon. The top ranked player in California, he’s headed into his senior year at Long Beach Poly already committed to UCLA for 2021. His 6’9 frame gives him unguardable length that is backed up high level playmaking ability, the versatility you dream about and scary defensive skills. For Gil, beyond Peyton’s accolades, he sees substance. To be a transcendent player you have to be a worker, a thinker and someone who wants the most out of themselves. Peyton is all of that, and while the Team USA, all-state and ranking status is a terrific achievement, he’s working on much more.

On this episode, we've got one we’ve been looking for, knowledge of the game from guys that played it. Earl Watson got into coaching at the pro level after thirteen seasons as a player. By 2015 he was in the head coach seat in Phoenix. The first thing he did was recognize the brilliance in store for Devin Booker and then put him in a position to tap into it. By going through the fires and playing among greatness, Earl’s approach to coaching is with that in mind. For Gil, he recognizes Earl’s philosophy as a players’ coach and the benefit it gives not only stars but your entire roster. Between Earl and Gil they see where it works and where it doesn’t. Also, how to relay that information to the next wave. They see the evolution in talent, and are here to push it forward.

On this episode, we’ve got something for the game changers. Rayah Marshall, a 6’5 sensationally skilled high school senior, brings the kind of length, court vision and play making ability that has her among the top players in the nation. Headed to USC next year, Rayah stands to be a player who is poised to push the women’s game forward...think KD in mismatches, scoring at will against any type of defender. For Gil, he sees her length and creativity mixed with basketball IQ and hunger as the key components to make Rayah an all-time great player. And judging from her progress, it is absolutely in the cards. As her trainer and friend of No Chill, Jmack says, "real is rare" and Rayah is definitely for real.

On this episode, we have the man who got the one and only Gilbert Arenas on track to eventually become a pro. The pride of Grant High School himself, coach Howie Levine. With over 30 years and 500+ wins under his belt, coach Levine’s legacy is as a true teacher of the game. As intense as he was when the game tipped off, coach was equally dedicated to making his players reach their dreams. For Gil, coach Levine recognized just what made him a truly special player. Beyond the physical gifts, which coach was amazed by Gil’s feet...and his fingertips. Coach Levine recognized Gil’s real greatness was his natural ability to break the game down to its angles and how he could solve problems that teams threw at him. The result, an unguardable force and a basketball IQ that is off the charts!

On this episode, we have a player who is not only a freak athlete and is tremendously skilled, he’s also is incredibly thoughtful and an absolute worker. But make no mistake about it...he’s a flat-out stud. Meet Kijani Wright. After two years in high school, Kijani has stacked up Team USA honors, top rankings for his class, all state, all conference and all coast accolades and has made Windward in LA a must see program. For Gil, Kijani isn’t just a talented big, he’s a talented basketball player. In other words, don’t label him, because his approach to the game is to take on every role, every position and simply dominate. As a competitor, it’s not just mastering one thing, it’s becoming exceptional at both ends of the floor and ultimately becoming that complete player that everyone fears. As Kijani continues to build, he’s blending refined skill with updated intel. And for Agent Zero, that brings a definite smile to his face.

On this episode, we’re joined by one of the hardest working guys in the game, Dash Lovell. Born in Trinidad, raised in Brooklyn, Dash headed to California to first gain knowledge and also work with elite level talent. He staked his claim as a ball handling guru and expanded his reach to develop complete players with elite level skill, intelligence and technique. His attention to detail, like seeing angles, tireless preparation and finishing strategy have him among the best minds in his field. Currently a player development coach with the LA Sparks, Dash really is in the middle of maximizing the ability of all players at every level of the game. For Gil, he’s seen Dash’s progression from when he arrived on the west coast and sought out Agent Zero for some insight to where he is today. As Gil will attest, it’s in Dash’s hands now to push the game forward and tap in with the tremendous amount of talent in SoCal.

On this episode, we have one of the most publicized, physically gifted and dynamically skilled players in his class, Amari Bailey. For a kid that started out in Chicago and ended up in California at Sierra Canyon, Amari’s early progression has been unreal. As a sophomore he showed out and showed why he has pro makeup with two years left to go in high school!

On this episode, it’s another first, as we have the first father/son podcast installment. Alijah Arenas is a beast in the making, of course he’s got the DNA but he’s been working on every aspect from foundation to skill building, to strength and straight up competition. All under the watchful eye of his pops. For Alijah, he’s ahead of the curve with all the necessary tools to be a one-of-a-kind player. For Gil, there are no shortcuts and by no means is he sugarcoating it. While Alijah didn’t immediately connect with the game of basketball, he’s arrived and Gil fully committed to making him a force of nature. Yes, Alijah has a very high bar to set for him, but given the path he’s on, he’s up for the challenge.

On this episode, we salute a part of the No Chill family. Travis Nichols, creator of T.N.T. Training and founder of the Southern California Academy, has a vision, is making the sacrifices and working tirelessly to make them happen. His approach to skill development is built around relationships. Trav digs in on the mentorship approach and works from the inside out to make not just better players, but better people. As Gil sees it, that’s no easy feat. What you have to give up and turn down along the way can turn off a lot of people. For Agent Zero, a guy who is used to the self made approach, he acknowledges the support players have on the way up is the ultimate weapon. For Trav, he’s brought that east coast grind to the west coast’s rich talent tree. And it couldn’t come from a better guy.

On this episode, we have a story that you need to hear. It’s the story of tremendous talent, incredible obstacles, tragedy, triumph and human spirit. It’s the story of Jason Mckinney aka “Jmack”, a basketball prodigy who emerged on the scene in LA, rose to fast stardom, but setbacks in the way of injury, guidance, even a shooting, left him with a journey unfulfilled. Still, Jmack persevered and stayed true to the game. He even found a friend with another teenage star, a young Kobe Bryant, that would tie the two for years to come. Gil can be counted among those enthralled by the young phenom. Fast forward some 20+ years later and Gil re-connected with Jmack on the youth circuit. Basketball is their common bond, and Jmack’s “Real Is Rare” approach has enabled him to fulfill his basketball story, showing respect to those that were a part of the path along the way. And his next chapter is just getting started...

On this episode, we get it straight outta the mud! For Dylan Andrews, the sensationally talented guard out of LA, Mud City is a place he’s familiar with and a place we can all associate with. Along with Kijani Wright, Dylan’s counterpart at Windward in LA, they’ve built a basketball powerhouse in a place that’s otherwise overlooked. What you need to know about Dylan is he’s positioning himself as one of the best all-around players off his class and he’s working towards a big time leap onto the basketball radar. Besides sensational athleticism, Gil sees a mainstay for Dylan as a big shot maker. And really that’s just in your DNA. The guys that run towards the pressure and instinctively know how to slow the game down in clutch situations.

On this episode, we take it back with the two guys who started it all for some of the most legendary hoopers. David and Dana Pump, were pioneers of the AAU scene in LA in the late 80’s/early 90’s. With what began as a scouting service, the Pump brothers recognized a need to establish organized basketball and a pipeline to put west coast players on the national stage. With the Pump-N-Run, they did exactly that. From James Harden and Paul George, to Klay Thompson and of course a prodigy from the valley...Gilbert Arenas. Gil gives big props to the Pumps for what they did for him and a long line of LA players. We get into how they built it, where they knew it would go and the system as it is today. The guys also share a great perspective on Gil’s journey from LA to Arizona and his stardom in DC. They want to see him back in the picture with the Wizards -- and so do a lot of people!

On this, we have a guy you may have dropped off your radar, but make no mistake about it, he hasn’t gone anywhere. The last time you saw Kyree Walker he was doing damage on Dream Vision, following a standout junior season at Hillcrest Prep, earning him five-star recruit rankings. Instead of playing as a senior, Kyree opted to save it for the next level, and instead of the unpredictable route for a teenager overseas, he’s going underground before popping up on NBA draft boards. Kyree has crossed paths with Frank Matrisciano aka “Hell’s Trainer”, the same guy who put Gil through black ops training following the 2006 playoffs. Frank’s program at Chameleon BX resolves around putting Kyree through extreme mental and physical punishment to make him both an ultra conditioned athlete and an elite level competitor. Think Christian Bale when he went into the mountains to become Batman. It won’t be an easy road, but we’re all in to see how Kyree comes out on the other side. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode, one of the most dynamically skilled players of her age group...number one ranked to be specific, Juju Watkins comes through. Juju had a sensational freshman season at Windward High School in LA. In addition to her top ranking, Juju was named LA Times Player of the Year -- as a freshman! She was also invited to the Team USA trials for 2020 and was first team All-CIF in California. Decorated to say the least, and building on her resume, along with her skillset...as we speak! For Gil, he sees her as a leader for era, and the up-and-coming dominant female hooper to re-establish LA on the basketball map. Beyond that, he thinks she can change the game by pushing the expectations for a women’s player professionally as well as financiallyl. You can say Juju is built for it!

On this episode, we have a true one-of-a-kind talent. She even coined her own nickname. Destiny Lunan, aka “Ky-She” as the skill and bop as influenced by her NBA namesake, Kyrie Irving himself. Thanks to the influence of current players, blended with golden era 90’s playground creativity and new school skill work, she is way ahead of schedule. To double down, she also subscribes to Gil’s school of thought, playing levels up to make herself even better. If that’s not enough, Gil found her on Instagram and without knowing her background, she passed his eyeball test with flying colors. Now as she’s realizing where her ability can take her, Gil is encouraging her to push limits and lock in on what she wants to accomplish. For everyone out there, it’s a basketball story you want to hear and take away from for yourself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode, we have the very motivational story of Ben Schtolzberg. As Gil would naturally take a shine to, Ben is a valley kid that has worked his way up the ranks with very little hype or attention. A starting point guard as a freshman at Notre Dame High School, he went from running an offense on an upperclassmen heavy team, to taking over the squad the next season. Now, heading into his junior year, he’s putting up numbers that get him visits to UNC, Davidson and programs across the country. Still, what makes Ben interesting is his ability to remain humble, while shouldering a great deal of responsibility, all with big time expectations. He wants to be pushed, is never satisfied and is absolutely locked in on getting to the league. Throw in legit talent and Agent Zero is crafting another SoCal scoring guard that can do it all. Gil has been watching him for a few years now, seen the work Ben puts in with his trainer Dash Lovell, and the proof is in the results on the court year-to-year. Learn more about your ad choices.

For the kid that goes by "Jaygup", he’s not looking to make it, he’s working to be great. As Gil sees it, wanting to be an all-time great, means you’re already on your way there.

Those gritty, grimy, hungry dudes with no back down and no quit. To do that, we have Etiwanda High School standout and incoming UCLA recruit, Jaylen Clark. Jaylen attacks his opponent on the defensive side of the ball and scores it at a high clip. For Gil, he knows all about the dog mentality. What it takes to truly earn the label and what it means when you see one coming at you in a defensive stance. Make no mistake about it, for Agent Zero, it’s no small task, so if you consider yourself a dog, you better be ready to prove it at all times. Learn more about your ad choices.

So now she’s working with Agent Zero himself and Gil wants Mackenly to start thinking bigger. Why not challenge women’s hoops and go straight to the WNBA from high school?

On this episode, we check in from the lockdown of 2020 with the idea that when you take something away, you appreciate it that much more. Taking away the game of basketball -- the competition, the comradery, the fun -- it really hurts. Comparing it to what an athlete goes through with a major injury, you can use the time away from the game to view the things from a different perspective. For Agent Zero, he sees it as an opportunity. A chance to get better. By using the down time to focus on what you should work on, you can discover new ways to be more complete. Instead of putting in hours in the gym, study the game. Watch film for strategy and detail, you’ll come out the other side that much better. Also, there’s now time to work on the things that you may otherwise put off when you’re in go mode to just workout, play and repeat. Now that he’s a coach, Gil is seeing the additional value in that as well. You’re down but you’re not out! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode, we come back after a long lay off with a lot to talk about. Agent Zero makes it official, and talks about his move to get into the coach ranks at the youth level. For Gil, he’s spent plenty of time on the sidelines as a parent of young players, but recent events have pushed him to become more involved. It’s something he’s been contemplating for some time, but he finally settled on his reasons to commit. Meanwhile, the tragic loss of Kobe Bryant has rattled the basketball community and the world. For Gil, he has a special connection to Kobe, and until now, hasn’t fully detailed it. As you’ll hear, they’ve had a lifetime of connection through the game. From Gil’s infatuation with a young Laker star, to the origins of a rivalry and the ultimate compliment only reserved for top tier competitors...it is a truly special relationship. Gil also defines the Mamba Mentality in his words, along with Kobe’s messaging that drove Agent Zero to use his intellect and personality to coach. Learn more about your ad choices.

We break out how individuals from different backgrounds come together to form a team.

Also, there’s the thing about ownership, because we all know money matters. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Fresh off the opening game of two of the best teams in the league, Gil reports back from taking in the Lakers versus Clippers. Aside for Kawhi and LeBron, Agent Zero looks to how the coaches should manage the personnel on these rosters if they want to run the table. As he sees it, while they need to figure out rotations at this point in the season, they better establish their identity before their opponents make them pay. Gil also sets up what the season should bring for emerging stars Donovan Mitchell, Trae Young, Buddy Hield and RJ Barrett.

For Gilbert, he also has seen how highlight culture influence players, because they watch plays just like fans. Beyond that Ballislife has expanded thanks to marketing, putting on events and being in the right place at the right time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode, we check back with Gilbert after his BIG3 debut. Getting that first game behind you is a big step. As we find out, expectations were high, but it comes down to the preparation and the routine. From there it’s building consistency and getting used to the strategy. And with the barrage of free agency, we have to get into who’s up and who’s down after major movement. With the Warriors seeing major changes to the dynasty, the west is absolutely open, and for LeBron’s Lakers, it’s their throne to take. Over in the east, shake ups in Boston and Brooklyn give the Sixers, Bucks and the defending champs some company. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

PRESENTED BY KEEPS On this episode, North Carolina basketball legends, Antwan Jamison and Brendan Haywood, re-unite with their Wizards teammate, Gilbert Arenas. Before Agent Zero returns to the hardwood for the BIG3 in Charlotte, he talks about his journey from Arizona to Golden State and DC, where Antwan and Brendan came into his life.

He and Gilbert go way back to Lou’s rookie year as an nineteen-year old in Philly. Lou recalls that early encounter and how his career has progressed to one of the most unstoppable and dependable scorers in the league. For Lou one thing he’s found, especially in the Clippers organization, is the importance of fit and culture.

Lessons learned for young players looking to set themselves apart from the competition. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode, we salute the champs. Of course Kawhi led the Raptors their first Larry OB, but for Agent Zero, the real hero was Kyle Lowry. Gil breaks down what it was that Lowry accomplished that made the win so sweet, and shares what he and Kyle talked about in a conversation immediately after the Finals win. As well deserved and unbelievable as the Toronto win was, losing Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson to injury was truly tragic for the Golden State Warriors. Gil also talked to KD in the wake of his torn achillies, and as tough as it was to watch, Gil thinks this time can really benefit a star of KD’s status. And before we go, we thank Drake for the show and look ahead to what’s next for these two teams. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode, we look at things from the fan’s perspective. Mainly, because in this year's NBA Finals, the fans have become the side show. Even before a player makes it, they’re a fan first. So sure, they understand what it’s like to spectate, but there are rules to it and lines that cannot be crossed. Agent Zero, however, thinks we’ve all become too sensitive, and speaks to exactly what the price of admission allows a fan to do and say. What happens when they go too far? And watch about fan punishment? In case you’ve been waiting for it, we finally have a voice of reason. At least in his mind anyway. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode, Gilbert takes some time to explain himself on some comments he made about the WNBA a few years back. Yes, they of course got him in some hot water, but as we discuss, he does not deny the talent and skill level of the players, but for the league to crossover to mass appeal, it comes down to marketing. Continuing on the theme of appeal, Gil examines a player who he fully appreciates now, in Kawhi Leonard, mainly in the superior skill set he possesses. And while we’re at it, we get all the way into the skill versus athleticism argument and the MJ or Kobe question. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode, we gear up for the NBA Finals. After an eventful season, it comes down to the Raptors and the Warriors. We know the Dubs are a dynasty, so do Kawhi and the Raptors actually have a chance? If so...how? In the spirit of the Finals, we look at what exactly is that special ingredient Golden State has, that all other teams do not. And for Canada, we’ve got some good news and some bad news. Beyond the Finals, Gilbert gets into how to measure talent, specifically, what really matters versus the analytics. Also, before we go, he’s got a Kobe story that pretty much sums up the Mamba Mentality. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode, we’ve seen a couple seasons come to an unceremonious end for two marquee teams. So as the respective doors have closed for the Rockets and the Celtics, we grade their overall performance, decide if the season was a disappointment or should have been expected, and what’s next. For Houston, what happens when they run it back with the roster they have? For Boston, what do they do different with or without Kyrie? We also get into Tyron Lue’s decision to turn down the Lakers coaching gig, that ultimately went to Frank Vogel. Of course Gilbert has a take on it.

Enemies teammate and co-captain, Lamar Odom, joins the podcast to talk about what matters the most to him from a basketball standpoint, who was the toughest matchup he ever faced in the NBA and the best game he played in, that we never saw.

On this episode, we're joined by 8-time All-Star, 3-time Defensive Player of the Year, Dwight Howard. While Gil and Dwight were teammates in Orlando, their friendship started way before that. Now in DC, Dwight is getting back to 100% and ready to roll next season. In the meantime, we get into the complications of having to grow up fast in the NBA, what you’re not told about money, priorities and how to handle it all.

On this episode, we jump into the Lakers soap opera. After you sort through the drama, there’s a basketball team to structure. We have just the guy who can tell us how to get it right in LA. GM and coach Arenas figures things out from the top down. For Gilbert, it starts in the front office, being able to recognize the right players to keep, move and bring in. Then it’s the coach, one who knows who to connect to their players and a guy who can maximize talent. As for those players, of course it starts with LeBron. When you have an all-time great player, you surround him with the right blend of star power, experience, value signings and complimentary pieces. The bottom line, there is help in the horizon, but there is definitely work to be done to get there. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode we sort out the MVP race. As we witnessed this year, three incredible players had three incredible seasons. Russ averaged a triple double...for the third straight year. Giannis took it up another level, dominating both ends of the floor and leading Milwaukee to the best record in the NBA. And then there’s the dominance of James Harden. He averaged the most points on a season since MJ’s 37 in 1987. He went for 60 twice and 50+ seven times. All three are deserving in their own ways, but there can be only one MVP. For Agent Zero, the choice is the Beard and he tells us why. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode, we get into the rookie of the year race. It’s one of the closest to call in years. Actually, this year’s rookie class has been all around fantastic, but clearly it comes down to Luka Doncic and Trae Young. Luka jumped out of the gates, playing at a high level and showing that his game would absolutely translate from Europe. As for Trae, he answered the doubters with his dynamic playmaking ability, scoring talents and delivering in the clutch for the Hawks, especially on the back half of the season. Thanks to a draft day trade, these two will always be linked together, and after this season both will have their teams hyped to build around their young rising stars. So before the award is handed out, Gil makes his call, and of course has good reasons. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode, we explore a theory of Gilbert’s about point guards. We look back at the championship teams since Michael Jordan’s Bulls won their first in 1991...that’s after Magic and after Isiah. As Gil points out, the point guards on these teams were not the top assist guys. Across the board they were expected to bring the ball up the floor, defend their position and hit spot up shots. Sure, there have been star point guards that won rings, from Jason Kidd and Gary Payton to Chauncey Billups and Tony Parker, but at those points in their respective careers they were not expected to create shots for teammates, they were facilitating. But don't worry, GM Arenas has a solution... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode, we get into the game within the game. When we hear from players, we want to know what makes them tick, what they’re thinking and of course the stories. But what about how they watch the game? We are they seeing? What gets them hyped? And what bugs them? For Agent Zero he of course has one-of-a-kind perspective on the game. When it comes to garbage time, it’s not something we should just disregard until the buzzer sounds. No, for Gil he thinks it’s a time for players to make the most of their opportunity. He sees it as a time to prove yourself, to be aggressive and to hold nothing back. As for the coaches that preach sportsmanship and players who may be padding their stats, he’s got some thoughts on that too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode, get on board to experience the ride that it is to be an NBA player. We’re joined by Michael Carter Williams, whose basketball journey is truly unique one. After being selected 11th overall by the Sixers, Michael had a breakout first season and was named Rookie of the Year. You would think things could only blossom from there. He tells us just how it can change in the blink of an eye. Trusting the process doesn’t work out for every player, and beyond ability, it comes down to fit, timing and opportunity. Rebuilds, salary caps and injuries are all factors that most players don’t have on their radar when they’re going out and competing. Gil also points out that you have to expect those changes at all times, that’s the constant. Also, when you’re in the middle of it, it takes a singular focus. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode we pick things up in the aftermath of the trade deadline. For the players that moved and those that didn’t, there 9is the fallout of finding yourself on a new team or refocusing after being a subject of rumors. For the media and the fans, we love the gossip...who’s offering up who, who wants out and the back stories from behind closed doors.   Once the dust settles, we get to see how things pan out on the court. As Gilbert tells us, players have to be able to deal with the chatter and work it out themselves. We often hear the phrase “it’s a business.” From the side of owners and the front office, this is the time of year when business can overshadow the competition. With that in mind, we figure out who really won, what it all means for the rest of the season and also the monster free agent group this summer. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode, skill development specialist, Olin Simplis comes through to give us a look at what has become a must for players to keep their edge. Having a skills coach in your camp is the way they are able to evaluate their games and build on their arsenals. Working with players such as Spencer Dinwiddie, Shai Gilgeous Alexander and Bismack Biyombo, Olin has made a name for himself, connecting with guys who range in their skill sets, but all who share a rare desire and drive.   Just like a boxer has with their trainer in their corner, guys like Olin wear numerous hats from mentor, psychologist, family member and bad cop. The proof of the progress is what we see in the on-court results. For Olin, it all comes down to connection. Once that’s in place, his message can get through and the real work can take place. As Gilbert agrees, it is so important for a player to always remain confident and know how to get to their comfort zone at all times. You’ll find out from both Agent Zero and Olin, exactly how that happens.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Kevin and Gil go way back to Agent Zero’s days in DC when KD was a young, up-and-coming hooper -- that’s Seat Pleasant and the DMV. We learn Kevin slows the game down, and when he put it all together to be effective at the highest level. He also takes a minute to acknowledge where he’s at in this window of the prime of his career. More importantly, how he’s playing with true happiness. We also find out what it’s like to get every team’s best shot, and also how to keep your focus when you blow them out. And what we’ve always wanted to know, how they decide in the huddle who gets the last shot. For Kevin and the Warriors there is a different level of sacrafice that comes with the territory, which is maybe what we should appreciate most about their dominance. For Gil and Kevin what they have in common is the priority of basketball over everything. With that in mind, how they approach choices players make not only in their careers, but also their lives. Make no mistake about it, the money and the status is major, but the championship is the ultimate dream.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Actually it’s only pushed him to refuse to allow any obstacles to stop him.   Along with Gilbert, we explore what makes truly great athletes want to push the limits and keep raising the bar beyond what others before them have set. It’s something that we can all relate to, where at times we’re going to get knocked down and times when we’re going to fail, but it’s having the character to pick ourselves up from failures and use it as fuel to succeed.

Along with Gilbert, a player who made his name on taking and making big shots, it’s a discussion that examines the elements of what makes shooters great. What we know is this, great shooters are made not born. Of course it starts with mechanics, but mechanics that work for you. Once technique is established, shooting is crafted through work ethic and reps...your time in the gym. Furthering the conversation, we find out that the best we see on the court are supremely confident, while also possessing unbreakable concentration. Above all, going inside the mind of a couple of shooting masters...it comes down to mindset. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode, we take a look at the ways in which a great scorer can be effective. When it comes to offensive skills it is the combination of work ethic and natural ability. Currently in the NBA, individual skill is at an all-time high. We run through scoring talent and the attributes -- off the dribble, pure stroke, off movement and clutch moments -- and who has some of the best of technique we’ve ever seen on the court. Taking it further, Gil concludes that it all comes down to confidence. From one of the coldest bucket getters ever to do it, Agent Zero takes us inside the brain of an offensive mastermind.

From how the Warriors will make it work this season as free agency questions loom, to Melo’s failure to launch in Houston and what Jimmy Butler left behind in Minnesota, there’s been no shortage of drama in the early part of this NBA season.  Agent Zero has some ideas as to why it’s on the star player to take control, but more importantly why there always must be an alpha dog in the locker room to determine who’s running things. In some cases it’s clear cut, but Gil points out how more often than not, isn’t always the superstar that has the most command. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
