This lets me know you didnt watch the whole video/segment or wasnt paying attention. He straight up mentions Kobe and said he and Steph are workaholics who perfected a skill and changed the landscape. :mjgrin:

It makes sense by his criteria(generational means physical traits/genetics)
Generational player means once in a generation, there is a lot more to sports than just the physical aspects. The mental fortitude, skill, intelligence, etc make a huge difference

It’s the difference between DK Metcalf and Calvin Johnson

Kobe And Steph are generational, it’s rare to find players who can put everything together like they did and it’s translates to success. Limiting it to just physical is weird. He should find another word for it because generational isn’t it.

idk what point you are trying to make. Im not the one that said it. Gil said it and plainly stated what his criteria was. You and him obviously have different meanings of what generational means :yeshrug:

"move around" has risen in the ranks of disrespectful phrases :wow: shyt is so dismissive


Jennings said Iverson gotta move around for Steph in the top 10 and that shyt sounded so much more vulgar :picard: he shyttin on the entire early 00's era


and nikkas said he was yelling at the Indiana Fever in the tunnel to move around and let Clark and Mitchell shoot all the shots :dead:


McCants got the bodybag on the floor begging for BJ to jump in :laff:

I see myself saying that shyt lmaoo

Man move yo ass around

How you gonna say "by his own criteria" and then ignore the criteria, you're just caught up in the word itself instead of the way they're using it for the convo :dead: how about you ignore the word generational and listen to what they're saying, Kobe and Steph don't fit the criteria for whatever word you replaced it with, that's it.

His point is that it's asinine to say Steph isn't a generational player by any criteria.

Obviously not if his criteria is physical attributes/genetics :mjgrin:
Steph's hand-eye coordination, depth perception, body control, balance, cardio are world class. Those are underrated components of athleticism that are just as important as quick twitch explosiveness.

Plus, the entire premise is off. A generational player is not solely defined by their physical attributes.. Or is Stromile Swift a generational player? :mjlol:

You would have to take that up with gil. Go post in the youtube comments or something. Doubt he would see any of that as generational, since you can work on all that to get it to a world class level :yeshrug:

I completely disagree

There is no amount of practice that will turn Seth Curry into Steph Curry. Humans have ceilings in everything they do. Steph’s ceiling as a basketball player is significantly higher than most other players.

Gil would call that all gifts that he worked on and refined not something generational and born with

Like usual Gil gets caught up in his own definitions or how he sees things and refuses to budge. Using NFL QBs is the easiest way to refute his point. Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes have nothing special physically to them where anybody would call them generational prospects. Yet no one would argue that they both became generational players. I think Gil is hung up on players who we could predict early and expect them to become generational.

Context on what gil said to set her off? Seems like he may have said she washed and trying to use cc/reese to come back as their enforcer?

Gun shot was cheap and really didnt make sense. The gil gun shyt was gambling stuff and he didnt even really get suspended for that iirc.
