How Kevin Durant & The Phoenix Suns KILLED The NBA’s Big 3 Era as Gilbert Arenas & the Gil’s Arena Crew break down the disappointing season for Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Devin Booker and debate if this poor showing from one of the NBA’s most hyped squads is enough for NBA teams to move to a team centric approach over simply gathering stars. They also discuss what his roster may need to turn things around before highlighting a potential game changer sitting on their bench in Bol Bol.

Gil’s Arena premieres every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET.

  12. Its wild hearing pro players saying they aint even paying attention to anything when they "know they're not going to play". Whatever happened to "staying ready" in case someone got hurt?

  14. The franchise went downhill when they publicly wantd to trade DA. That 2022 roster was 🔥… Book, CP3, KD, Bridges, and DA. Picking up Beal and Nurjic made no sense; in real and 2K 😂

  15. Why some ex-players and fans can’t talk about basketball without using abstract emotionally-charged words to describe playerS? “He’s dawg”, “he’s a killer”, “assassin”…?

    Can’t K. Martin say “they need a rim protector”? A point of attack defender? A long wing who can switch? K-Mart stayed 4 years in college, he should be better than that.

  16. Need to take into account who was guarding Beal when he started w/ the Suns.

    The other team’s #1 & #2 defender were guarding someone else. Whereas I would say Reeves is being guarded by the number #2 defender nightly & the stats are similar.

  17. BJ is the perfect example of just cuz you hooper don’t mean you know what you talkin bout. He just mad he ain’t get no burn on the Wizards when Brad was here.

  27. Kenyon acts like the bully of the show. Wants everything his way. It's called Gil's Arena not the Kenyon show. Always so disgruntled but like him still because I like his takes

  30. The problem is the Suns tried a "Big 3" with 3 MAX players. When LeBron, D-Wade and Bosh did it, they all took "pay cuts" to build the rest of the team. These Suns were over the cap before they signed anyone else. Bad financial investment. I understand the injuries and the ages, but it was broke before it started.

  33. This big 3 never made sense
    Beal and Booker are practically the same player, the 3 of them don't defend shit
    Bol Bol won't fix a god damn thing
    The rest of the team ain't good enough
    Is a poorly constructed roster that's all + they injure prone.

  35. We saw Bradley Beal as the number one option, he put up great stats on a garbage team in a weak conference. His numbers do not contribute to winning. Austin could not put up the offensive numbers Beal does but the team wouldn't be much or any worse than one led by Beal.

  38. Fans and media keep letting KD overrate-D off too easy.

    Mans had:

    Russ and Harden in OKC, two top 75, MVP'S.

    The fking 73/9, last year NBA champs and two years B2B finals Warriors.

    Kyrie, AND Harden in Brooklyn.

    CP, Book, Beal etc. in Phoenix.

    Apart from his rookie season in Seattle, KD has ALWAYS had a strong team. In the past 15 fking years, KD has always played with at least 2/3 all stars at any one time.

    Since leaving his daddy Steph, the Warriors have at least one a chip – BEFORE and AFTER KD. KD has not seen the finals or NBA 1st Team SINCE.

    LeBron would be crucified for this exact same ish.
