Gil on Media Narratives
Gilbert Arenas ERUPTS about his thoughts on how media narratives can control an NBA player’rs life.
After his controversial gun locker room incident with the Wizards he was blacklisted and the media conveyed the story. He never got to get out his own thoughts. But now that podcasting is popular he can tell his story and get the truth out there. It is impossible to hide in the digital age.
Gil’s Arena premieres every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

New media 💙
Gil is a strategist. No wasted moves
Gil im a wiz fan for life, and i asked caron back then if u actually did what the media said you did and he said YES and shook his head in dissapointment😂 you lost millions bc of your actions and the media combined. You committed and felony and had to pay the price
But on most of these player podcasts it’s no pushback to anything that’s said ? Like when KAT went on Pat Bev pod and said he the best shooting big ever it’s a lot of “yes men” energy
Gil bout to make all that money back and then some ong 🔥
Your content vibe is just right, keep it up
Mccants had an excellent perspective mentioning wen you do speak out against a narrative and correct it people perceive it as you not taken accountability so it’s hypocritical to a fault narratives based solely upon other narratives not the actual story but some individuals buy into bc they dislike a certain person.
Zero accountability
Kwame said the same thing lol
When this drop or did it drop already?
So if I have 29 degree in 2nd H Pisces what does that mean for me ?
Like the goat narrative he pushes.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
But Gil did pull a gun on his teammate. Whatever the reason why, he did it. That's not spin or angled
Gil is one of the biggest narrative over facts and tape guys in the media today lol
How about the lesson being: "don't give people a reason to take your success away"
No… Gil a victim now 😂
why pull out the gun tho
Just look at Jimmy Butler once he went to Minnesota. Someone was pushing the narrative because they didn’t want to pay him.
Crazy how things changed once he was under solid management, coaching, and accountability.
if only he didnt have a gun and just played basketball.
…. and yet because of Klutch Sports bias on Gil’s part he argues pro-Lebron narratives against easily verifiable truths on Gil’s Arena.
I need that hat!
Klutch sports 😂
You pulled a gun out on your teammate… how is that “pushing a narrative”… lmaooo that’s what happened bro 🤦🏿♂️ we don’t need player sugar coating stories to make it sound innocent
Kwame Brown is all I hear when Gil talking lol
G.O.A.T Mr. Areans ❤❤❤❤❤
Ko te j..e kad si glup
Now every lame brings up the gun situation when they dont agree with Gils opinion over a topic
Real
Gil couldn't pay for a press release or release some type of statement to set the record straight?
Nobody cares about that gun shit, that’s in the past, it is what it is…you had a great career with the Warriors and Wizards, and you have a successful podcast…
Accountability is a foreign concept to these guys. Its all excuses 😂
Entertainment news, dont gotta even know what happened it just gotta sound interesting
Media could get away with anything back in the day.
But you did pull a gun on your teammate in the locker room.. nobody made that up, nigga you did it
You still the same corny Gil . Bringing a gun and a locker as a corn bowl move
the next day . dad dog " pls bring him back to his mom "
players have a voice now. players didnt have a voice back in the day. take advantage of it now. use the voice to defend yourself against the media's narrative.
How about be a professional and don’t do stupid stuff. Now, some of the narratives are made up and are set up to hurt players earning potential!
Yes it's true you can talk back put a cap on topics, only if you're not employed. NBA wouldn't allow anyone to tarnish the reputation of its superstars or the league. In short shut up or leave. Look at Pat bev he is gone cause he wants to play somewhere. Or did he got suspended by the NBA. MJ retires or got suspended cause his gambling problem. Kobe's rape case gone. No one ever talked to straighten the story. Why? Cause of Money.
