D Rose leaves Cavs; Biggest Sports Beefs | Out of Bounds

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas, Adam Caparell, and Pierce Simpson discuss a report that some of the NBA’s biggest stars have a “disdain” for Steph Curry, the Warriors superstar who just broke the record for made three-pointers in an NBA Finals game. There are a variety of reasons why his elite peers may dislike the two-time MVP and two-time champion, and the guys lay out what rubs people the wrong way about him. Plus, they debate whether the LeBron James-Steph rivalry is real or a media-driven narrative to hype up the Finals.


With President Trump disinviting the Super Bowl champion Eagles to the White House because less than 10 players were reportedly going to attend their celebration, OOB discusses the matter in "The Pull-Up." Gil explains why the Eagles organization and players should have known better than to engage Trump and offers a winning strategy for making their point.


Staying in Philly, the panel talks about the Sixers hiring a law firm to investigate the "burner" Twitter accounts allegedly used by 76ers president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo — or his wife? — to share insider information, slander players and execs, and defend Colangelo against criticism. The guys give their thoughts on who's responsible and how the scandal will and should end. Would it be wrong to fire a player or exec for something their relative or friend did?


In other social media news, Thunder big man Steven Adams claims his "fat fingers" accidentally liked an IG comment that clowned his underperforming teammate Carmelo Anthony. The boys give their opinions on Adams' explanation, how Melo will take the jab, and how this is going to affect the relationship between OKC and Melo going forward. Are they headed towards an expensive buyout?


Finally, in "Fair or Foul?" the panel weighs in on the NBA planning to use the Las Vegas Summer League to experiment with a system that will allow coaches to challenge referees’ calls. The guys have many questions about the undetermined particulars, but which is more important: getting calls right or maintaining a smooth game flow? Plus, Gil has a revolutionary solution to the league's refereeing issues.

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, former UFC champion Cody Garbrandt joins Gilbert Arenas, Adam Caparell, and Pierce Simpson to discuss his beloved Cavs losing Game 2 of the NBA Finals to fall into a 2-0 hole heading back to Cleveland. Despite Steph Curry scoring 33 points and making nine threes to set a NBA Finals record, Gil argues that the Warriors superstar is not the front runner to win the series MVP. Plus, Gil and Cody break down the problems with LeBron James' supporting cast.
In "Fire Fit," the panel rates the distinct Finals looks of LeBron and Nick Young. Are King James' suit with shorts ensembles acceptable for basketball royalty? And did Swaggy P wear the wrong Golden State throwback in Oakland on Sunday? 
Next, OOB reacts to Cavs players Rodney Hood and J.R. Smith recently saying that it's difficult playing alongside a megastar like LeBron. Gil has some particularly strong words for both guys about their roles on the roster and their place in the lineup and league going forward. With the conversation turning to the necessity of putting in work and preparing to perform, Cody explains what goes into one of his fights.
Following an enlightening oral history of the Hamptons Five meeting, in which Kevin Durant revealed that he needed peer validation in free agency, the crew discusses what separates alpha males from betas in sports. Gil names the real Warriors alpha, as well as several superstars who were not alphas — including some that may surprise you. 

In closing, Cody talks about what it's like to kick and be kicked in an MMA fight, so you don't have to find out for yourself.

On this episode of #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas, Adam Caparell and Pierce Simpson are joined by CBS Sports analyst, Brian Jones.  The guys get ready for the NBA Finals by putting LeBron's eight straight Finals appearances in perspective as it compares to the accomplishments of Bill Russell, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and other legendary career achievements.  Also, in the spirit of another chapter in the Warriors and Cavs rivalry, the guys rank the best Finals matchups in NBA history. 
No stranger to NBA Finals glory, Kobe Bryant has announced plans to release a book, 'The Mamba Mentality' about his career and craft.  Gil and the crew discuss what they want to learn from Kobe and what they wish he includes about his playing days.  
While Kobe is looking back at his career, another future hall of famer, Adrian Peterson just may be coming to the end of his time on the gridiron, whether he likes it or not.  So the guys figure out why athletes tend to hang on too long, and how they should go about planning their exit strategy from the game.

On this episode of #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas, Adam Caparell and Pierce Simpson are joined by 16-year NBA vet, Al Harrington.  Al details the efforts of his Harrington Wellness company, in his venture from the hardwood to the cannabis industry and how none other than, David Stern supported his endeavor.
The guys also rundown how the Warriors and Cavs measure up in the Finals, from the starting fives to the bench, the coaching staffs to the x-factors.  It's not as lopsided as you'd think!  Also, with Andre Iguodala and Kevin Love potentially out to start the series, the guys decide which team is actually better off if they have to go without their key players.
And in the wake of the reports that Sixers president, Bryan Colangelo was trolling his players and coaches with burner twitter accounts, Gil and Al try to make sense of things in Philly.  Not to mention, as a player, would you want that going down in your organization?

On this episode of #OutofBounds, take a look at what went wrong for the Rockets in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals.  After a first half lead, Houston went on a record-setting cold streak from the three point line, and lost it to the Warriors, 101-92.  So, should the "L" be blamed on bad shooting or their coach?
With the Conference Finals win, we get the fourth edition of the Warriors and Cavs in the NBA Finals.  LeBron has been fantastic in carrying his Cavs through the Eastern Conference, but can he lead this Cleveland squad past Steph, KD, Klay and Dray?  Gil and the guys look for a weakness in Golden State's attack.
Speaking of greatness, none other than Kobe Bryant weighed in on the Michael Jordan and LeBron GOAT debate.  While, the Black Mamba looked to shut it down, should we just leave it to respecting greatness in respective eras?  And great players famously find ways to motivate themselves throughout their careers, what happens when players stop finding fun in the game.  Former Patriot, Cassius Marsh, claims that's exactly what happened to him during his stint in New England.

Rockets Blow Game 7, Warrior and Cavs Set for Finals, Kobe Ends the GOAT Debate | Out of Bounds

On this episode of #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas, Adam Caparell and Pierce Simpson recap LeBron James' playoff brilliance, carrying his Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA Finals in stunning fashion.  The guys put LeBron's greatness into perspective, as King James gets to the Finals for the eighth straight year, but this one is, quite possibly, the most impressive.
Meanwhile, the team that came up just short, the Boston Celtics, has plenty to build off of.  The crew looks to the bright future for the Celtics and considers the changes that could come in Boston.
As for the other Game 7 in the playoffs, has momentum swung to the Warriors?  With Chris Paul out, and ahead with a 17-point lead in the first quarter, did the Rockets blow a golden opportunity in the Bay?  The guys look for someone to step up in Houston, or if we're ready for the fourth installment of the Warriors and Cavs.
And with the postseason coming down to crunch time, we get to see big time players produce in big time spots.  Throughout the season we saw superstars shoulder the load carry their team, deliver game winners and come through when it counted.  This got the guys wonder who in the league is the most clutch, and they narrowed it down to the top five.

LeBron Carries Cavs To Finals; Helping Harden in Houston, Top Five Most Clutch Players | Out of Bounds

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas, Adam Caparell, and Pierce Simpson discuss the Celtics beating the Cavs 96-83 in Boston to take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. An exhausted LeBron James put up 26 points and 10 rebounds but got little help from his teammates. Gil shines a light on Cleveland's glaring weakness and the adjustments that coach Tyronn Lue needs to make if the Cavs are going to have any chance of winning the series on the road in a Game 7.


Looking forward to tonight's pivotal Game 5 between the Rockets and Warriors in Houston, will Golden State bounce back from its horrendous, 12-point fourth quarter in Game 4 to win a second game in Houston and reclaim home-court advantage? Gil breaks down the severity of the Warriors' problems and what they need to do differently.
The NFL announced a controversial new policy that requires players to “show respect for the flag and the anthem” if they are on the field during its performance — fining teams if they do not — but allows them to stay in the locker room if they prefer. Debate gets heated between Gil and the guys as they react to the news from their personal perspectives as well as those of NFL owners and players.
While NFL players continue to protest racial inequality and police violence, Bucks guard Sterling Brown plans to file a civil rights lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police Department after officers tackled, tased, and arrested him without cause after issuing him a parking ticket in January. With police body-camera footage showing he in no way provoked the cops, OOB asks if there will be justice for Sterling and if his case will help bring about much-needed change in policing. Legal expert that he is, Gil explains how officers often escalate situations as well as how he personally approaches police stopping him.
Closing on a lighter note, the crew reacts to the NBA's All-Defensive teams and Jazz center Rudy Gobert being the leading vote-getter. Gil questions how the players are determined — especially when two of them are on the same team. One famous player in particular gets called out for his defensive credentials, plus Agent Zero reveals how he was once third in steals despite playing no defense.

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, 2010 NBA champion Metta World Peace (a.k.a. Ron Artest) joins Gilbert Arenas, Adam Caparell, and Pierce Simpson to discuss the Rockets' surprise 95-92 win over the Warriors to even up the Western Conference Finals and reclaim home-court advantage. Gil and Metta break down what went wrong for Golden State in the game, as well as the problems that dominance has created for them. Plus, Gil points out what Klay Thompson needs to add to his game to help Golden State.


Looking ahead to Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the panel debates whether Boston will continue winning at home or if LeBron James and Cleveland will take command of the series on the road. Metta shares the story of how Phil Jackson got the most out of him before Gil reflects on having been scared to make mistakes when he was in Orlando. Plus, the crew reacts to King James tracking as the slowest player in the series — and his irritated response to that info — clarifying the kind of speed LeBron possesses and the kind that he does not.
Next, OOB discusses the NBA All-Rookie teams and unanimous selection of the 76ers' Ben Simmons and Jazz’s Donovan Mitchell to the first team. Gil and Metta take issue with the Celtics' Jayson Tatum not being a unanimous pick. Metta then shares his experience guarding rookie LeBron and the best game he ever had against him.
With LaVar Ball in the news again — this time because he said his sons will be billionaires before LeBron, and because ticket prices for his JBA league are absurdly high — the panel gives him a reality check. Metta has faith in the Big Baller Brand but Gil is hilariously skeptical.
After Metta's former teammate Kobe Bryant responded to Kanye West’s infamous quote about slavery being a choice, the guys react and voice their own opinions. Was Kanye out of his damn mind or misunderstood? Gil and Metta explain how they avoid saying things they'll regret when microphones and cameras are constantly in their faces. And when discussion turns to mental health in the NBA, they explain why players don't talk openly to the sports psychologists made available to them. 
Finally, Metta talks about his new book — No Malice: My Life in Basketball, or: How a Kid From Queensbridge Survived the Streets, the Brawls, and Himself to Become an NBA Champion — plus the pressure he felt while in the NBA and once his playing days were done, and his Knicks workout fail. Gil chimes in about the difficulty adjusting to life after the NBA and tells the story of the time Metta body-slammed him during a game.

 On today's episode of #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas, Adam Caparell, and Pierce Simpson discuss LeBron James breaking the record for the most playoff field goals made, as the Cavs beat the Celtics 111-102 in Game 4 to even the Eastern Conference Finals. Gil explains why the loss is a bad sign for the Celtics despite Boston still having the home-court advantage, before asking if rising star Brad Stevens is actually overrated as a coach.


Continuing the LeBron talk, in "Fair or Foul?" the crew weighs in on an effort to raise $1 million on GoFundMe to commission a life-size statue of high-school-aged King James in Akron, Ohio. Is it OK to erect a monument to a player while they're still playing? Will doing so affect whether LeBron decides to stay in Cleveland? Also, the guys give their picks for players who deserve statues, and Gil has some slander for Adam's Knicks.
Looking ahead to tonight's Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals in Oakland, OOB asks if Warriors superstar Steph Curry, who exploded for 35 points in a Game 3 blowout win, is officially back. The team also reacts to Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni's eyebrow-raising comments about the pressure being greater on Golden State and Houston bringing its "A game" in Game 4. Plus, Gil explains what bench players are thinking at the end of lopsided games.
Finally, league documents reportedly show that several NFL teams consider Colin Kaepernick — who remains unsigned — a legitimate starting QB. Debate heats up as the squad asks if these documents increase the likelihood of Kaep winning his collusion case against the NFL, as well as what the case has revealed about NFL teams' priorities.

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas, Adam Caparell, and Pierce Simpson discuss Steph Curry finally catching fire, scoring 35 points as the Warriors humiliated the Rockets 126-85 to take a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference Finals. Gil explains why Chef Curry cooked — scoring 26 in the second half — after underwhelming in Houston. Also, he breaks down what James Harden is doing wrong on offense.


Speaking of Game 3 in Oakland, Nick Young showed up to Oracle with an interesting assemblage of statement pieces, including a pair of Gil II Zero Hibachi shoes that he may or may not have stolen from Gil. In "Fire Fit," OOB rates Swaggy's look and whether his on-court performance lived up to the Hibachi name.


Looking ahead to Game 4 between the Cavs and Celtics, the guys ask if Cleveland will display the same intensity they did when blowing Boston out 116-86 in Game 3. Plus, Gil explains why the C's are good at home but suspect on the road, what Marcus Morris is doing while trying to defend LeBron James, and which player is the surprising key to Cleveland's success.
Next, after Johnny Manziel signed a two-year deal with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the Canadian Football League, our panel discusses the move. Is it a good option? The only option? Johnny's goal is to play well in the CFL and get another look from an NFL team, and Gil lays out exactly what he has to do to make that happen. 
Finally, it is reportedly “just a matter of time” until Kansas City and Seattle get NBA teams again in expansion. In "Top 5," the OOB crew makes cases for cities that should get franchises, reasoning ranging from strong regional feuds, to strip club scenes. Do you agree that these spots would be great additions to the Association?

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, sports announcer and commentator Mauro Ranallo joins Gilbert Arenas, Adam Caparell, and Pierce Simpson to discuss the Celtics beating the Cavs despite a monster game from LeBron James to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. With King James clearly giving his all — returning from a scary head shot to post a 42-point triple-double — the panel points fingers at the teammates who need to step their game up.


One player who would be excused if he were underperforming is Celtics guard Marcus Smart, who revealed that his mom is undergoing chemotherapy treatments for bone marrow cancer but wants him to remain focused on basketball. Mauro — who had to do a broadcast after losing a close family member — and Gil talk about trying to perform at your best when you're enduring a personal tragedy.


Looking ahead to tonight's Game 2 between Houston and Golden State, OOB asks if the Rockets can “withstand” Kevin Durant going off, as head coach Mike D'Antoni said they could after he torched them for 37 points in Game 1. Are the Rockets capable of shutting down one or more of the Dubs' other stars? Plus, the panel makes their picks for the game.


Then, with the NBA Draft Lottery over and the Suns now in possession of the first overall pick, the crew debates whom Phoenix should draft at No. 1. Also, Gil explains why the NBA's new draft lottery format designed to eliminate tanking won't actually stop the league's annual race to the bottom.

After ESPN Films and Netflix announced Tuesday that they will be releasing a 10-part documentary series on Michael Jordan in 2019, the guys ask if it will reveal anything we don't know about MJ or just show younger generations why he is the GOAT over LeBron and Kobe. Plus, Gil lets Mauro know why Jordan's return to play for the Wizards wasn't the typical case of an athlete being unwilling to move on from their playing career.
With his own documentary, Bipolar Rock 'N' Roller, premiering next Friday, May 25, on Showtime, Mauro explains the motivation behind the project, which candidly discusses his mental health issues. Plus, Gil opens up about his battle with depression and how he learned to be himself. 
Finally, with philanthropic hedge fund manager and outspoken Trump critic David Tepper expected to buy the Panthers for a record-setting $2.2 billion, OOB asks if he is precisely the kind of owner the NFL needs now. Does politics even matter when it comes to the bottom-line business of NFL ownership?

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, actor Demetrius Shipp, Jr. joins Gilbert Arenas, Adam Caparell, and Pierce Simpson to talk about Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

Also, Gil explains what James Harden did wrong despite dropping a game-high 41 points, before completely slandering one unfortunate Rockets player who may find himself benched soon.


Looking ahead to tonight's Game 2 in the Eastern Conference Finals, the panel asks if LeBron James and the Cavs can rebound after Boston blew them out 108-83 in the series opener, with Marcus Morris holding King James to just 15 points on 5-for-16 shooting. Even if LBJ balls out, will the rest of the Cavs deliver? Plus, whose adjustments will prevail: Celtics coach Brad Stevens' or LeBron's with his photographic memory of games?
On Monday, the Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, allowing states to legalize betting on sports. Resident gambling addict Adam asks if legal sports betting will corrupt sports any more than illegal gambling did, if leagues were ever truly concerned about the “integrity of the game,” and how the ruling will affect players, collective bargaining, and salary caps moving forward.


Finally, after LiAngelo Ball told ESPN it’s a “priority” to be drafted by the Lakers and to play with his older brother Lonzo, Gil and the guys discuss whether Gelo should reevaluate his priorities given his shaky draft stock. Also, how should other teams feel about him being “willing to play” for them. Is there an NBA team he'd fit on? Is he even good enough to play in the summer league? The G League? Plus, Demetrius shares some inside info on Gelo that he got from his UCLA connect.

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas, Pierce Simpson, and Adam Caparell discuss the Celtics' thorough beatdown of LeBron James and the Cavs in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Marcus Morris — and the C's team defense — limited King James to 15 points on 5-for-16 shooting with seven turnovers. Is Morris the real LeBron stopper? Plus, the rest of the Cavs took and missed some terrible shots, so do the Celtics have the defensive game plan to shut Cleveland down, or was the loss just a poor shooting night and LeBron feeling things out? Also, Gil reacts to LeBron's remarkable photographic memory and ability to recall games play by play.


In "Fire Fit," the panel grades LeBron's Game 1 Thom Browne fit to determine if he managed one win for the day or caught two L's. See how many fire emojis the crew awards him.


Warriors superstar Steph Curry recently credited Rockets All-Star Chris Paul for mentoring him the summer before he entered the NBA. Looking ahead to tonight's Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, Gil and the guys discuss what impact CP and Steph's relationship will play in the series, as well as which guard needs to have a greater impact.


In "Fair or Foul?" the team weighs in on the Raptors “Coach of the Year” recipient Dwane Casey after the Cavs swept his team out of the playoffs for the second consecutive year. Did Toronto do him dirty? And is the future brighter for Dwane Casey or the Raptors? Also, with Metta World Peace saying Drake would be a good coach for the Raps, the crew debates that seemingly absurd statement.
Finally, OOB predicts the future of Philly after head coach Brett Brown said the Sixers “need help to win a championship.” Who would be the best pickup for Philly, in terms of both talent and fit: LeBron, Paul George, or Kawhi Leonard? And will they land any of them? Also, with a big-time signing, would the Sixers become a desirable destination for vets on veteran minimum contracts or mid-level deals? See what Gil has to say about that.

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, former NFL running back turned rapper, actor, and podcaster Arian Foster joins Gilbert Arenas, Adam Caparell, and Pierce Simpson to wrap up the Eastern Conference Semifinals and look ahead to the next round of the NBA playoffs.


On Wednesday night, the Celtics beat the Sixers 114-112 to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they'll take on LeBron James and the Cavs. The panel talks about Boston's young stars and what they've shown advancing far in the playoffs without their team's two biggest stars. Knocking off King James is a much bigger challenge, and Gil breaks down what could be a matchup nightmare before everyone makes their series picks. Plus, with Philly starting its summer vacation, Gil and Arian highlight what 76ers star Joel Embiid needs to work on in the offseason to take the next step in his career.
After retiring from football, Arian Foster has devoted himself fully to podcasting and making music. Rapping as Bobby Feeno, he's released his well-received debut album, Flamingo & Koval, as well as Becoming Bobby Feeno, a Tidal/Uninterrupted documentary series about his transition to music. Arian shares the keys to successfully crossing over from sports, the feedback he's gotten from established artists, and the reason he didn't start putting out music while he was still playing in the NFL. Gil reveals how a teammate of his balanced basketball and DJing.
Tiger Woods recently defined greatness as prolonged superiority when asked about LeBron James, who's heading back to the Eastern Conference Finals for the eighth straight season at age 33. Gil and Arian give their views on athletic greatness and whether it requires longevity. They also get into a passionate debate about Steph Curry when Gil refers to him as a "regular guy." Plus, Gil names some great players who didn't achieve as much as they could have because they lacked the will and heart, contrasting that with a fascinating story that illustrates Floyd Mayweather's insane dedication to being the best boxer of all time.
Finally, in "Top 5," after the Mets were penalized for screwing up their lineup cards and accidentally batting out of order, the panel breaks down The Top 5 Worst Blunders in Sports History. Gil's inclusion is a head-scratcher but he makes up for it by sharing the behind-the-scenes story of one of his most painful losses.

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, Chief Correspondent and Senior Columnist with ESPN’s The Undefeated Jemele Hill joins Gilbert Arenas, Pierce Simpson, and Adam Caparell to discuss NBA playoff action and the intersection of sports, politics, and social media.


The Rockets advanced to the Western Conference Finals by beating the Jazz 112-102 in Houston. After Chris Paul took over with 41 points, 7 rebounds, and 10 assists, the panel breaks down how CP3 changed his game to boost the Rockets.

The Warriors also advanced to the WCF, defeating the Pelicans 113-104 with a balanced offensive attack from Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. As good a team as the Rockets are, is there any way they can beat Golden State's Hamptons 5/Death Lineup and depth?
Looking ahead to tonight's Game 5, when Boston will look to close out Philly at home, OOB debates whether the young 76ers — who got their swagger back in their first elimination game after seeming overwhelmed in Beantown — will overcome the hostile playoff atmosphere to force a Game 6. Also, Gil questions Philly's use of Markelle Fultz and Jemele explains why she's not surprised that the Celtics have performed so well in the playoffs.


In "The Step-Back," the panel talks about the ugly side of sports social media after comedian Andrew Polk tweeted that he hoped Draymond Green would get shot in the face. Jemele — who's no stranger to social media controversy — breaks down the line you shouldn't cross. Gil explains why some athletes should respond to haters online and others should not. Plus, everyone shares the ugliest thing someone has said about them on social media.


After President Donald Trump reportedly gave approval to invite Colin Kaepernick to the White House for a series of conversations on race involving athletes and musicians, Jemele takes issue with the motivations behind the move. The crew asks what Kaepernick would gain or lose by accepting the invitation. Also, Gil identifies the Trump critics whom the Donald doesn't go after on Twitter and why.
Finally, OOB discusses the NFL denying running back Mike James’s request to use cannabis as a painkiller instead of powerful, addictive opioids. Jemele offers insight into the league's continuing resistance to the plant, and Gil explains the difference between treating pain with weed and getting high.

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas, Pierce Simpson, and Adam Caparell discuss the 76ers avoiding elimination against the Celtics, with T.J. McConnell having a career night and Joel Embiid getting his trash-talking swagger back. Was the Game 4 win a turning point for the Sixers? 
Also, the LeBron James-led Cavs completed a series sweep of the Raptors with a blowout. Did Toronto stars DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry give up? And do either the Celtics or Sixers stand a chance against Cleveland in the Eastern Conference Finals?
Looking forward to tonight's games, will the Rockets close out the Jazz in Houston? And was Game 4 proof that — unlike in past years — the Rockets can win when James Harden has a subpar performance now that he has CP to help carry the scoring load and Clint Capela holding things down on D?  
Next, will the Warriors close out their series with the Pelicans? What can New Orleans do to win and force a Game 6 back in Louisiana? Plus, with a Rockets-Warriors Western Conference Finals seeming inevitable, Gil questions whether coach Mike D'Antoni can make playoff adjustments to hang with Golden State.

In "Fair or Foul?" the team weighs in on the Pistons firing head coach and president of basketball operations Stan Van Gundy. Gil breaks down what his old coach is like and why there's a limit to how long he can work with a team. Also, the crew debates whether the timing of the firing is foul, and if it was wrong to saddle the next coach and executive with the roster and contracts that SVG was responsible for. Plus, will the Pistons be improved and make the playoffs in the next couple years?
After Kylia Carter, mother of former Duke basketball star Wendell Carter, compared the current system of NCAA basketball to slavery, Gil and the guys respond to the analogy, as well as the idea of free labor and education in college sports. 
Finally, the team reacts to Icelandic powerlifter and "Game of Thrones" actor Hafthor Björnsson, who plays “The Mountain” on the hit HBO series, winning the World’s Strongest Man competition. Hibachi turns the heat way up on powerlifting as a sport before sharing what he would do if he were as big and strong as the athletes who compete by pulling trucks and lifting boulders.

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, streetball legend Bone Collector joins Gilbert Arenas and the crew to discuss the NBA playoffs, with four semifinal series seemingly headed to quick ends. Kevin Durant dropped 38 points on the Pelicans as the Warriors rolled to a 3-1 series lead. With Stephen Curry only recently returned from a knee injury, is Golden State already back to championship form?
The Rockets took a commanding 3-1 lead over the Jazz in their series, thanks in large part to Chris Paul's scoring and Clint Capela's rim protection. James Harden had an underwhelming night, but with ankle-breaker Bone Collector in the house the squad debates whether Houston's herky-jerky superstar is the best one-on-one player in the league right now. 
Looking forward to Game 4 and potential eliminations in the Celtics-Sixers and Cavs-Raptors series, the panel predicts if Philadelphia and Toronto will lose and start their summer vacations. Plus, Gil and Bone break down the problems with Ben Simmons’ and DeMar DeRozan's games, and ask whether Toronto should blow their team up if/when LeBron bounces them for a third straight year.
In "Fire Fit," the guys rate the outfits athletes wore to the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. Which athlete had the best outfit at the Derby: Von Miller, Jason Witten, or Laila Ali? Plus, a curveball contestant you have to see.
The Bucks plan to interview Spurs’ assistant coach Becky Hammon for their head coaching job, making her the first woman ever to interview for such a position. Will she land that gig — or any other NBA head coaching spot — in the near future. In a heated debate, Gil explains what he thinks will be the biggest obstacle for Hammon at that level.
Finally, in "On This Day..." OOB looks back to May 7, 1994, when the Nuggets beat the SuperSonics 98-94 in OT to become the first eighth seed in NBA history to eliminate a one seed in the playoffs. The guys rank the feat among the all-time greatest upsets.

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, NBA front office veteran and ESPN analyst Amin Elhassan joins Gilbert Arenas and the crew to make sense of Utah's surprise 116-108 win in Houston. Gil and Amin break down the defensive accomplishment of the Jazz — yes, even with James Harden posting 32 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists — and debate whether Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni is a good playoff coach or not.
Looking forward to tonight's Cavs-Raptors Game 2, the panel predicts whether LeBron and Cleveland can grab another win in Toronto before wondering what's next for troll Drake after his Game 1 altercations with Kendrick Perkins. Speaking of Perk, Amin gives the man his due for one of the NBA's all-time best trash-talking quotes. Also, in the Celtics-Sixers series, can Philly's young stars overcome the moment and Brad Stevens’ masterful coaching of the injury-depleted Celtics?
While Drake is getting all the attention after his tough talk with Perk, he's not the only celebrity NBA fan who gets on people's nerves. In "Top 5," the panel runs down the Top 5 Most Annoying Celebrity NBA Fans, and even throws in a special honorable mention that's sure to piss a bunch of people off.
In a recent ESPN interview, the Lakers’ Lonzo Ball gave himself a letter grade for his rookie season. Taking it a step further than his on-court performance, OOB grades Zo as a player, brand, and rapper, and measures it all against his immense hype. His report card may shock you.
Finally, with the Knicks reportedly trying to finalize the hiring of a new head coach this week after interviewing many diverse candidates — some extremely head-scratching ones among them — Amin explains how New York's process is atypical for the league. He and Gil clarify what the woeful Knicks need to overcome a history of incompetence before everyone makes their picks for whom the team should hire.

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas and the crew discuss the Cavs' Game 1 overtime win in Toronto and ask if the disappointing Raptors are already done. In another L for the Six, Drake got into two hilarious altercations with Cavs reserve center Kendrick Perkins, who would undoubtedly end him in a fight. Was Drizzy out of line, and does his heckling hurt the Raptors? 
Despite Klay Thompson shooting a miserable 4-for-20, the Warriors beat the Pelicans thanks, in part, to Steph Curry returning from a knee injury and scoring 28 points off the bench. With his stars all back, what does Golden State head coach Steve Kerr need to do moving forward in the series?
Looking ahead to tonight's Game 2 between Houston and Utah, OOB breaks down the only possible way that the Jazz can stop James Harden and the Rockets' potent offense. Actually, there are two methods, but one is illegal.
A recent ESPN article pointed to Kawhi Leonard's new reps — one of whom is his uncle — and the Spurs' control issues as the source of the beef between the franchise and its star. In "The Pull-Up," Gil and the guys ask if the Spurs should still offer Kawhi the $219 million supermax this summer. Also, Gil explains how mixing business and family typically goes wrong.
In "Fair or Foul?" the team weighs in on Jaguars owner Shahid Khan's plan to buy Wembley Stadium and host the Super Bowl in London. Is it a good idea? Also, in discussing the idea of an NFL team in London, Gil explains how a star player's life would change overseas.

On this special 100th episode of #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas and the crew share the table with two-time Pro Bowler, Super Bowl XLV champion, and Fox Sports analyst Greg Jennings to discuss how impressive it was for the injury-depleted Celtics to blow out the Sixers in Game 1 of their semifinal series. What does Philly need to do to turn things around in Game 2?
With the start of a new chapter in the historic rivalry between Boston and Philadelphia, the panel runs down their Top 5 NBA Rivalries of All Time. Lakers-Celtics is obvious, but some of the picks will surprise you. 
Looking ahead to tonight's playoff games, OOB asks if a "burnt" LeBron James will have anything left in his tank when the Raptors host his Cavs. On the flip side, how does Toronto win the series and avoid being knocked out by Cleveland for a third straight year? And, after the Warriors blew the Pelicans out in Game 1, will Steph Curry's return from a knee sprain after 15 games help or hurt the rolling Dubs?
After the Cowboys released him — he he turned down a multi-year deal in search of a one-year deal to prove his worth — wide receiver Dez Bryant remains unsigned. Greg picks the team he thinks Dez should go to, and he and Gil debate the merits of betting on yourself when you risk losing money.
Finally, with several recent sports news stories focusing on athletes' motivation, hustle, and competitiveness, Gil and Greg explain how you can measure those attributes in players, as well as what personally drove them to greatness. Plus, they reveal the most competitive players they played against and how those guys tried to get in their heads.

On this episode of #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas and the crew decide if LeBron can continue to carry Cleveland in the playoffs. While the Cavs survived a seventh game against the Pacers, will King James get enough support from his supporting cast to take out the top seeded Raptors in the next round? 
Meanwhile, James Harden, Chris Paul and the Rockets were firing on all cylinders, and look to be no match for the undermanned Jazz.  So was the series against the Thunder the peak of Utah's season?  As for the Thunder, they went all in to add Paul George and Carmelo Anthony.  The move proved to be a bust as they were bounced in the first round.  The guys figure out what the future holds for Russell Westbrook, Melo and PG in OKC.
Another highlight of the weekend was the NFL Draft in Dallas.  From surprising selections by the Cleveland Browns to a sentimental choice uniting the Griffin brothers in Seattle, the crew picks their big winners, best moments and even a look ahead to the early bets for next season in the NFL.

On today's show, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew begin by discussing Elon Musk's plan to build a cyborg dragon. In related WTF news, Gil is apparently unfamiliar with the billionaire behind Tesla and SpaceX, and his reason why will have you rolling.


Looking back at last night's playoff action, Gil identifies the unexpected Raptors difference-maker who's causing his Wizards to lose. Next, Hibachi breaks down the unstoppable force that is LeBron James, after LBJ did it all in Cleveland, damn near posting a triple-double with 44 points and delivering a clutch block and the game-winning three. And despite the Rockets eliminating the Timberwolves in Houston, Agent Zero is unimpressed with the one-seed and explains why. Then, after the Thunder fought back from down 25 to avoid elimination, Gil makes sense of Russell Westbrook's crazy game (45 points on 39 shots), as well as Carmelo Anthony's irrelevance.


In "Face-to-Face," former NBA forward and Pacers analyst Scot Pollard joins OOB to discuss the Cleveland-Indiana series, including LeBron's dominance, his suspect supporting cast and how it compares to the team they played on together, and Victor Oladipo's struggles.
Looking ahead to tonight's Celtics-Bucks Game 6, the team asks if Giannis will be aggressive and have a superstar game to stave off elimination before picking which teams will advance in the unresolved series.
Then, with LaVar Ball pulling his sons LiAngelo and LaMelo out of Lithuania over a dispute with their coach, OOB discusses what we learned from the Ball Brothers' overseas circus and what's next for Lonzo's siblings.
Finally, with the NFL Draft mercifully upon us, in "Fair or Foul?" the guys weigh in on teams endlessly analyzing and picking apart players in the draft process, and Gil explains what they should really be looking at.

On today's show, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew kick things off by responding to Nick Young's story about Gil breaking his brand new expensive glasses when he was a rookie. Hibachi has no problem admitting he gave Swaggy P hell — and shares details — but sets the record straight on that incident.


Looking back at last night's playoff action, OOB asks if the Celtics and Bucks are simply too mediocre to watch, and Gil explains how Jason Kidd's firing affected Giannis. Plus, what effect did Meek Mill’s release from prison and presence in the arena have in the Sixers' series-clinching win over the Miami? Also, has Heat star Dwyane Wade played his last NBA game? And with the Spurs eliminated, Agent Zero has an interesting take on what to expect from the Warriors-Pelicans semifinal series.
Next, OOB revisits Meek Mill's release and what it says about the sports’ world’s ability to bring attention to issues, create dialogue, and affect change. Gil makes an important distinction about who really has the power to make things happen. Plus, with Meek going straight from prison to the 76ers' playoff game, where does that put him amongst the all-time greatest Philly fans?


Looking forward to tonight's games, the squad asks if the Raptors, who’ve struggled with inconsistency in the playoffs, will be overwhelmed by the pressure to beat the Wizards in Toronto. And is Drake’s trash talk fueling the Wiz? Back home in Cleveland, will LeBron even need help from his teammates to finally take a lead in the Cavs' series with the Pacers? It's likely that the Rockets will close out the Timberwolves in Houston, but will James Harden and company win it all, as Suge Knight predicted while on trial for murder? Gil might need to watch what he says about Suge.... Will the Thunder make the adjustments needed to win and avoid elimination?


Finally, in "The Pull-Up," the team discusses a report that New Orleans may use DeMarcus Cousins's Achilles injury and the Pelicans' success without him to make him a reduced contract offer. Boogie may want to hire Gil as an agent, because Hibachi straight cooks the franchise for even considering lowballing the big man.

On today's show, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew talk about Gil's best NBA prank before discussing the Rockets' eye-popping 50-point third quarter against the Timberwolves, as well as the problematic Thunder, who fell into a 3-1 hole versus the Jazz. Plus, OOB judges Mitt Romney's game apparel in "Fire Fit." Next, the team looks ahead to tonight's slate of Game 5's in the Bucks-Celtics, Heat-76ers, and Spurs-Warriors series. After that, OOB reacts to Kevin Durant advising Giannis Antetokounmpo to "play for himself" and not get caught up in loyalty or love for Milwaukee. Finally, in "Fair or Foul?" Gil and the guys weigh in on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' plan to have a parrot announce one of their picks in this weekend’s NFL draft....

James Harden Cooks T-Wolves; Russell Westbrook Does Not Shut Sh*t Down | Out of Bounds

While Gilbert Arenas is off on an Agent Zero international mission, Pierce and Adam hold things down for #OutofBounds, starting with a quick tutorial on black hair care before getting into last night's NBA playoff games. Those Game 2's raised some interesting questions: What does it mean that the Cavs eked out a three-point win at home despite LeBron going off for 46 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals? How many fire emojis should Russell Westbrook's tux look get in "Fire Fit"? With Karl-Anthony Towns scoring a total of 13 points in two L's to start his playoff career, what the hell is going on with KAT? Looking forward to tonight's playoff Game 3's, OOB has some more questions: Will Kevin Hart's trash talk keep 36-year-old Dwyane Wade cooking in Miami? Is the All-Star Damian Lillard we know and love finally going to show up against New Orleans? After coach Gregg Popovich's wife, Erin, passed away yesterday, can the overmatched Spurs pull out a win for them against the Warriors? Only time will tell. The same can be said of whether Tom Brady will retire or play QB for the Patriots in 2018. In "The Step-Back," OOB discusses whether an ESPN story about Brady having not committed to play yet is a legit story or just click-bait. Finally, following a report that "handlers" for standout Penn State running back Saquon Barkley don't want the Browns to draft him, in "Fair or Foul?" the guys weigh in on players forcing undesirable teams to not draft them.

On today's show, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew get right to the important stuff — Denzel Washington movies. What's to debate? He's a national treasure and can do no wrong. Moving on to sports, with three NBA playoff Game 2's played last night, Gil and the guys get into the biggest stories. Has Raptors ride-or-die Drake — who was popping much sh*t to the Wizards — officially become the NBA's most annoying celebrity fan? Will small-market Milwaukee ever put the pieces around Giannis to become a serious title contender? How are the Pelicans winning without Anthony Davis being the go-to guy? Looking ahead, OOB dives into tonight's slate of Games 2's. How can the Cavs fix their suspect D? What version of "Playoff P" will Paul George bring when the Thunder host the Jazz? How can the Timberwolves stop James Harden? And is his step-back legal? Moving to another star-studded hoops league, OOB caught up with players and coaches at the BIG3 Draft and talked about changes to the league, how players are approaching season two, physical play, trash talking, and more. Plus, Hibachi explains what it will take for him to join the BIG3. Finally, in "Fair or Foul," the team weighs in on president of adidas North America Mark King saying the company would want to sign polarizing QB Colin Kaepernick IF an NFL team signs him. Is it just lip service? Taking advantage of his name? And how would actually signing him affect business? Last but not least, Gil inserts himself into other people's personal lives, talking about Candace Parker's $400K alimony payment.

On today's show, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew get started by talking trolls and how to defeat them. One person who's apparently not bothered by trolls or anyone else's opinion is Warriors guard Klay Thompson, who claims he's completely oblivious to critical comments. The guys question the truthfulness of that statement and debate whether it's better to ignore comments or use them as motivation, and Gil shares his old strategy for blocking out noise during the season. While Klay ignores everyone, Pacers star Victor Oladipo says he's motivated in his playoff series by the shade Cavs owner Dan Gilbert threw him last summer. Were those words worthy of becoming bulletin board material? Also, with Oladipo pointing out the small-market struggle for recognition, Hibachi breaks down how you get attention in the NBA and imagines what would happen if Paul George left OKC for the LA spotlight. Sticking with PG13, in "Fair or Foul?" the squad weighs in on George giving himself the nickname “Playoff P." Is it cool cause he actually backed it up with his performance? Plus, Gil shares the horrendous nickname he once gave himself and why it didn't work out so well for him. Then, with legendary Steeler linebacker James Harrison announcing his retirement, OOB remembers his greatest moments, from his play to his prison workouts, and Agent Zero reveals how a pro sports career affects family life. Finally, in "The Step-Back," the panel presses pause on the "controversy" surrounding injured Pelicans forward DeMarcus Cousins missing his team's playoff game, seemingly to hit Coachella. Gil provides some perspective on that, as well as some strip club knowledge for innocent young Pierce.

On today's show, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew kick things off by weighing in on whether or not they're about that Coachella life. Plus, coming off his kids' AAU tourney in Las Vegas, Gil explains why he's the king of Sin City. Then, after the first weekend of NBA playoff action, OOB discusses the biggest stories, including the Pacers waxing the Cavs in Cleveland despite LeBron's triple-double. Out West, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said star forward Kawhi Leonard continues to be absent because his personal medical team has not yet cleared him to return. The guys ask how this is affecting his relationship with teammates and the franchise, and Kawhi critic Gil has an unexpected take. In epic fashion news, Warriors guard Nick Young showed up to Oracle Arena for Game 1 of Golden State's playoff series against the Spurs wearing a silk robe and boxers. The squad reacts to the stripped-down fashion statement in "Fire Fit," and Gil shares the exchange he had with Swaggy after he saw the look. Moving to the NFL, the panel take sides after the Dallas Cowboys released star receiver Dez Bryant and things got messy between him and America's Team. Can revenge motivate Dez for the entire next season? Finally, in "On This Day..." the crew remembers the 15th anniversary of Michael Jordan's final NBA game — a 107-87 Wizards loss to the 76ers in which 40-year-old Jordan scored 15 points. With everyone slurping LeBron for balling out at 33, Gil makes clear what King James needs to do to be in Jordan's rarefied air.

On today's show, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds boys catch NBA playoff fever! But first, they discuss a curious cosmetic/medical trend that shows just how lost, vain, and celebrity-obsessed humanity is. With the 2017–18 NBA regular season in the books, OOB takes a closer look at the Eastern Conference matchups. Gil is intrigued by one in particular, but also throws water on the idea of another potential "upset" and dissects the sure-to-be-hyped LeBron-Lance Stephenson showdown. Plus, the guys make their picks for which team is coming out of the East. Before discussing the Western Conference playoffs, the team reacts to Russell Westbrook grabbing a career-high 20 rebounds last night to become the first player in NBA history to average a triple-double twice. A hand wave from one host leads to a heated defense of Brodie and his hustle. Plus, Gil explains why the triple-double average was MVP-worthy last season but not this one. Next, OOB breaks down the playoff matchups in the West, and Gil makes a case for the Spurs against the Warriors before throwing water on Pierce’s Rockets-T’wolves intrigue. As with the East, the crew shares their picks for the team that will make it to the Finals, then adds who they think is winning it all. Finally, in "Fair or Foul?" the guys weigh in on the Miami Marlins claiming foreign citizenship in the Caribbean to wiggle out of a lawsuit with local Miami and Miami-Dade governments. Everybody feels strongly about the story, but Gil's take is...something else. Following that up, the squad asks how new Marlins owner Derek Jeter is doing so far. Let's just say life isn't as charmed as it was in Yankees pinstripes.

On today's show, NBA champion and captain of the BIG3's Killer 3’s Stephen Jackson joins Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew to speak unfiltered like never before. To start, they weigh in on Tristan Thompson's Kardashian baby mama drama — true G League levels of cheating. After that, the team reacts to controversial NFL lineman Richie Incognito retiring because his organs are "shutting down" and stress is "killing" him. Stack explains what real stress is, why he had to be forced out of the Association, and the weed-smoking cycle of NBA players. Then, after Jazz phenom Donovan Mitchell wore a hoodie trolling his Rookie of the Year comp Ben Simmons, OOB assesses the troll job as well as the players' respective ROY arguments. The vote is split, and Gil and Stack make an unconventional argument that turns the debate on its head. Next, the panel responds to Pat Riley's comments that LeBron James would have won "five or six" more championships and become “the greatest player in the history of mankind” if he'd stayed in Miami. Is Riley right, or going senile at 73? Plus, Gil and Stack explain how players rank — and differentiate between — all-time greats like LeBron, Jordan, and Kobe. Finally, with the small-market Memphis Grizzlies reportedly valued at a whopping $1.3 billion, the guys see if that adds up and name the team they'd most like to own. While market and personal fandom are factors, for one member of the team the strip club scene is as important as anything else. The things you learn on OOB....

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas kick things off with some words for Ray Lewis, who felt the need to preach about Odell Beckham Jr.'s relationship with God. After that ethering, with coaches and the media making a big deal out of voluntary NFL workouts and players either attending (Odell Beckham Jr.) or not (Khalil Mack), OOB breaks down the actual significance of offseason workouts in "The Step-Back." Gil, who always says what he means, has a problem with the very concept of "voluntary" in the NFL. Sticking with football, the team tackles some Patriots drama following a report that coach Bill Belichick “chastised” star tight end Rob Gronkowski in front of the team last season over his TB12 workouts. Is it the beginning of the end for New England's empire or just a smart coaching tactic? Next, the crew reacts to admitted steroid user Mark McGwire saying he could’ve hit 70 home runs clean. Let's just say the panel is skeptical on several fronts. Plus, Gil and Pierce break down the fascination with hypothetical sports debates and Gil shares his favorite one. Finally, after police at LAX arrested Packers receiver Trevor Davis for making a joke about packing a bomb, OOB runs down the top five stupidest reasons that athletes have been arrested. With so much f*ckery in sports, making this list is harder than winning a championship. And as Gil gives a heartwarming explanation for his Cavs sweatshirt...Adam quickly corrupts the moment in true degenerate gambler fashion.

On today's episode, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds boys kick things off by talking about fights. Next, they react to Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina trying to fight Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo for referring to him as “motherf*cker” while arguing a called third strike with an umpire. Are athletes becoming too sensitive? Gil certainly thinks so, and explains why he was never phased by anything anybody said about him. Then, with Japanese pitcher and slugger Shohei Ohtani starting the season super hot for the Los Angeles Angels, OOB looks at how difficult it is for foreign players to adjust to a new league and culture. Gil, who had international teammates in the NBA and also played abroad in China, breaks down the differences between coming to the U.S. and going overseas. According to Hibachi, one is much more difficult. Following that, the squad looks at how the Celtics used and traded Isaiah Thomas — and the subsequent injuries to Boston's stars — and debates the existence of sports karma. There are strong feelings on both sides of this divide. Plus, Gil gives his prediction for a Celtics team trying to win a playoff series without Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward. In "The Pull-Up," OOB closes the show out by offering career advice to Paul George, who recently said he "can see" himself staying in Oklahoma City and isn't basing his free agency decision on whether or not the Thunder win a championship this year. Gil vehemently objects to reporters even asking about his future, but also has a sober analysis of where PG will take his talents next season.... And finally, Gil manages to disrespect a young fan of the show, so there's that.

On today's show, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds boys kick things off with a little beer bet over Gil's NBA scoring. With a beer chugged, the team talks Julian Edelman, who helped prevent a school shooting by reporting a threatening comment left on his Instagram page. Is he a hero? Gil describes being called one for simply being a basketball player, plus breaks down his IG comments and DMs. In "The Step-Back," Gil and the guys zoom out on Johnny Manziel quotes that seemingly blame the Cleveland Browns for his NFL failure. Opinions vary on how responsible Johnny is versus the organization, but everyone acknowledges that the Browns have been a hot garbage for years. Next, after Penny Hardaway’s son Jayden became the first player to commit to Memphis since he took over as coach, OOB discusses the pros and cons of a dad coaching his own son. Finally, in the wake of Saints QB Drew Brees filing a lawsuit that claims a California jeweler cheated him out of $9 million, Gilbert Arenas has some investment advice for athletes. Agent Zero also shares a jewelry policy that could save pros a lot of headaches, plus a special pitch for Mr. Brees....

Today's show (and desk) are jam-packed, as Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds boys are joined by guest host and 2018 NFL Hall of Fame inductee Terrell Owens as well as Seattle Seahawks offensive lineman Duane Brown. First up, the guys discuss Heisman-winning Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson and why bias against black QBs is still a thing in the NFL. T.O. goes in on former GM Bill Polian for his criticism of Lamar's size and throwing and insistence that the lightning-quick quarterback should move to wide receiver. Duane explains what it was like when he made the transition from tight end to offensive lineman in college. Then, in "The Pull-Up," Gil flames Nerlens Noel for failing a third weed test — earning himself a five-game suspension — and breaks down the sizable loopholes in the NBA's drug testing system. The crew also provides some career advice for the Mavs center, who turned down a four-year, $70 million contract last summer in pursuit of a max contract that was never coming and had to settle for a one-year, $4.2 million deal. Next, after the New York Times revealed archaic, sexist, and demeaning rules for NFL cheerleaders, OOB weighs in on the inequality. T.O. and Duane torch Gil, who focuses primarily on their low pay and doesn't see much wrong with it. Also, they school Gil when he tries to make a case that cheerleading is sexist against men. Finally, after NFL prospect Jerome Baker said that during an interview a coach asked what he'd do if he punched Baker in the face, the squad talks about the ridiculous questions teams ask athletes and what's learned from them. In true Gil form, he has a question he'd love to ask coaches to turn the tables on them....

On today's show, 2018 NFL Hall of Fame inductee Terrell Owens is back to chop it up with Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds boys. With Villanova routing Michigan in the NCAA Final to win the school's second title in three years, the crew asks if Wildcats coach Jay Wright should leverage his success to jump to the NBA in "The Pull-Up." Plus, the crew discusses if one-and-done is still a winning strategy, and Gil talks about not shaking Duke players' hands after losing the 2001 final. Next, OOB takes a close look at the NBA players in the 2018 Basketball Hall of Fame class. Does everybody belong? Gil doesn't think so, but his case for his own induction into the HOF may surprise you. In "Fair or Foul?" the team weighs in on former UCLA football coach Jim Mora taking shots at his old QB Josh Rosen, disparaging millennials and players with outside interests while discussing his draft prospects. Gil and T.O. discuss the different approaches NFL and NBA coaches take to free-thinking players. Finally, the team tackles new Raiders coach Jon Gruden sending a “message” to his team by cutting standout punter Marquette King, another expressive individual known for his entertaining antics. T.O. is perplexed but Gil has a theory about the coaching move. Plus, Gil introduces Pierce to his imaginary wife, fake Rihanna.

On today's episode, 2018 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Terrell Owens fills in as #OutofBounds host and talk immediately gets spicy as Adam and Pierce go in on Loyola-Chicago fan Sister Jean. The conversation stays hot after the intro, when T.O. reveals what he's planning for his HOF speech.... Reining it in a little, the guys discuss the best bets to make on tonight's NCAA final between No. 1 Villanova and No. 3 Michigan. Whether you want a straight winner, spreads, or fun prop bets, gambling man Adam Caparell has you covered. Moving on, OOB discusses Michigan coach John Beilein's belief that Michigan will one day officially honor the incredibly impactful Fab Five, whose sporting achievements were vacated after an investigation into players getting paid. Should they be recognized despite violations? Should Chris Webber, who accepted money and reportedly has a rift with the other four stars, be included? And is there any point in vacating and pretending games didn't happen when violations occur? Next, the team responds to Heat center Hassan Whiteside's rant about his playing time and T.O. explains what happens when players beef with coaches and how that differs from drama between players. Finally, after Sixers star Joel Embiid sent some tremendous tweets about Kansas catching an L, being high on painkillers, and Rihanna while in the hospital recovering from surgery, T.O. and the guys debate The Process's method of hollering at Ri-Ri (Pierce's imaginary boo) and which NBA players would be the most fun to hang out with. Plus, outspoken T.O. describes what it would have been like if Twitter had been a thing during his NFL prime.

Got an NBA foot fetish? Good, 'cause on today's episode of #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas is in some flip-flops and has to explain himself to the rest of the crew. Once that's settled, the team talks the NBA MVP Award and whether LeBron James — who says he'd vote for himself, based on his sensational, age-defying season — should win over James Harden. Gil has some strong feelings about a proposal to break the MVP into two awards, for the Best Player and Best Season. Next, with a new Tiger Woods biography claiming the young golfer was warned to stay away from Michael Jordan, OOB debates whether MJ was actually a bad influence and in any way responsible for Tiger's downfall. Plus, Gil shares what he learned from Jordan back during their playing days and lets everyone know exactly how many points he once dropped on the GOAT. Then, with a new study calling for athletes and leagues to stop endorsing junk food and sugary drinks in an attempt to reduce childhood obesity, Gil and the guys weigh in on athletes' responsibility as role models vs. the responsibility of parents who, y'know, had the damn kids. Gil shares his diet from his playing days, and it is...interesting. Also, there's some controversy over chicken spots that could tear the team apart. Finally, the boys touch on Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer donating extra money he got in arbitration to charities as part of his "69 Days of Giving." Gil sees some secret messaging in the numbers that, frankly, only make the charitable donation cooler.

On today's episode, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds boys get started by analyzing Albert Belle's pee technique, from pulling his pants down halfway, to shielding himself with his car door and potentially splattering both the vehicle and his shoes. Then, with LiAngelo Ball making himself available for the NBA Draft, the team takes a critical look at the middle Ball son's skill set, what he's done in Lithuania, and where he fits in the world of pro ball. Plus, Gil has a conspiracy theory — or maybe just facts — about the 71 points Gelo scored yesterday in Lithuania, timed to his draft announcement.... In "The Pull Up," OOB offers career advice to Johnny Manziel, who says he'll play in the Canadian football League if no NFL teams are interested in him. While much has been made of Manziel's newfound maturity and efforts to deal with his personal demons, Gil has some reservations about "Johnny Football" and the NFL in general. Next, in "Fair or Foul?", the crew weighs in on Vikings coach Mike Zimmer talking publicly about the health of his former QB Teddy Bridgewater, who's now with the Jets and trying to stick with the team. Is he messing with his ex player's money by answering the media's questions? To close things out, Gil and the gang respond to Steelers coach Mike Tomlin saying that TD celebrations are "not a good look." Maybe the bad look is just coaches opening their damn mouths too much....

On today's episode, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds boys begin by discussing reports that the Giants are listening to trade offers for superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. He's got HOF numbers so far, but he's also coming off a broken ankle, makes some unwanted headlines, and is demanding a huge contract extension. So, is OBJ worth hanging onto and paying? Next, OOB breaks down the felony charge that Eagles defensive end Michael Bennett turned himself in for yesterday. There's no evidence despite the alleged incident happening at Super Bowl LI...but is the damage already done by simply accusing the outspoken NFL activist of intentionally injuring a 66-year-old paraplegic woman? Gil has some strong feelings. In other legal news, a former Saints cheerleader has filed a discrimination complaint against the team, claiming there's a sexist double standard for cheerleaders and players when it comes to social media and fraternization. It's not PC, but in talking about cheerleader-player interactions, Gil exposes exactly how things work in pro sports. Finally, with Sixers rookie guard Markelle Fultz returning to action for the first time since a shoulder injury sidelined him last October, the team reacts to his 14-minute performance and his conspicuous silence when asked about his ailment. Additionally, they discuss his short-term and long-term impact, plus how he stacks up against much-hyped Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball.

On today's episode, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew kick things off with a spicy hot take on Loyola-Chicago and Sister Jean...before discussing how injuries to the Warriors' All-Star quartet will affect Golden State's chances of winning another title. Gil has a couple teams the Dubs definitely do not want to see in the first round, when they might still be recovering and without an ailing Steph Curry. With news that 76ers coach Brett Brown thinks Markelle Fultz could come back soon from his shoulder injury but is leaving that decision up to the rookie, OOB breaks down what's really going on and how his return might affect both him and the Sixers. Next, following former NFL coach Jeff Fisher's admission that he never responded to an apology letter from his former Titans QB Vince Young because his name was misspelled, the guys discuss petty and arrogant coaches and Gil breaks down how players respond to such shady coaches. Then, in "Fair or Foul?" the squad reacts to an announcement that the Oakland A's will be charging rival SF Giants fans extra to park at the Coliseum unless they shout "Go A's!" at the gate. In discussing the psychological warfare of sports rivalries, Gil shares the story of some curious chicken nuggets that messed his whole world up. Finally, on "Face to Face," friend of the show and former Sacramento King Matt Barnes joins via FaceTime to talk about the turmoil in Sac-town following the police killing of Stephon Clark, the Kings' response, how he and DeMarcus Cousins got involved paying for the funeral, and what else he's doing to end police and self-inflicted violence in the community.

Gilbert Arenas has stacks now, but early in his playing career the struggle was (relatively) real. To kick off today's show, Hibachi reveals what balling on a budget looked like before he got really paid. Next, Gil and the #OutofBounds crew weigh in on a proposal for an NBA playoff play-in tournament that LeBron James recently described as "wack." Also, Agent Zero shares his plan to fix tanking in the Association. Then, with Deion Sanders either trolling or putting his own NFL analyst work on blast by referring to All-Pro Titans safety Kevin Byard as a "fan," OOB gets real about how much game film former players in the media actually watch. And with Byard catching feelings, Hibachi turns up the heat on haters, sharing his response to anyone who would criticize his game. Returning to the NBA, the guys discuss a lawsuit that claims the Atlanta Hawks discriminate against white people. The show's "black delegation" has some thoughts on that, plus Gil breaks down the divide between front office and locker room culture, and how NBA players joke about race and ethnicity. Finally, with a trademark filed for "Big Dick Nick" — a nickname Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles got when a teammate said he was the most well-endowed player on their team in 2014 — OOB goes below the belt. How often are players looking at each other’s junk? Is knowing who's packing a thing? Looking extremely uncomfortable, Gil breaks down the D. Plus, he tells the story of the time a couple players fought in the showers.

On today's show, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew ease into things by talking about the worst way to break up with someone. On the topic of messy breakups, Blake Griffin threw some shade at the Clippers while praising the team they traded him to, the Pistons. The guys decide if the pettiness is fair or foul. And let's just say that Gil has many colorful analogies for LA's second basketball team. Next, OOB reacts to the announcement of yet another pro football league, the Alliance of American Football. Sure, it's got some funky rule changes and a focus on fantasy, but does anyone really need more pigskin — with lesser talents — after the college and NFL seasons? Gil has a particularly unflattering comparison for the league. Back to breakups, with Iggy Azalea talking publicly about burning former fiancee Nick Young's designer clothes after he cheated on her, Gil breaks down the effect that had on Swaggy P and the boys get down and dirty ranking the top 5 messiest athlete breakups. Gil shares a special story about how he once came to the rescue of notorious cheater Tiger Woods. Finally, the team talks about GGG, who still plans on fighting Canelo Alvarez in their highly anticipated rematch but claims that he is a serial cheater and that his promoter, boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya, is "dirty." Is that crazy? Covering his own ass? A smart marketing ploy? Plus, Gil shares the lengths to which he'd go to get some ripped ads and a modeling career.

After an upset-heavy first weekend of March Madness, brackets everywhere are busted. Gilbert Arenas — whose Arizona Wildcats lost in the first round, falling juuuuuust short of the championship he predicted — and the #OutofBounds crew weigh in on the crazy results and the bets they placed. Plus, Gil explains why higher seeds really lose and shares his personal experience catching an early L at Arizona. Next, the guys respond to the hilarious IG response video that former NBA champion Glen "Big Baby" Davis posted after it came out that police arrested him last month and charged him with seven counts of drug possession and distribution. Nice guy that he is, Gil provides a sound defense for Big Baby's legal team. Then, with sensitive golfer Rory McIlroy complaining about hecklers and calling for a course limit on alcohol, OOB debates whether sporting events should regulate booze more than they do. Gil has a heckler hot take for athletes and a story of how he shut one drunk Celtics fan all the way down. Finally, after Anthony "The Brow" Davis and James "The Beard" Harden played each other over the weekend, the team talks about terrible NBA nicknames, and Gil says which nicknames are always trash and shares the back story to "Agent Zero.

For gambling man Adam Caparell, the start of #MarchMadness is like Christmas — or whatever other day makes you so excited you can't sleep at night. As the NCAA tourney kicks off, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew react to the brackets that former president Barack Obama tweeted out yesterday and compare them to their own. Plus, for all you degenerate gamblers, OOB makes picks for some choice prop bets you can get rich with. Next, Gil and the gang discuss Eagles safety and Super Bowl champion Malcolm Jenkins speaking out on behalf of incarcerated Philly rapper Meek Mill at a panel on criminal justice reform. While the consensus is that athletes using their voices is a good thing, Agent Zero has some thoughts on probation violations and shares his own experience stemming from his gun charge. Speaking of guns, the solution Shaq gave to school shootings on a radio show is not a ban on assault rifles but more cops in schools. The guys have some strong feelings about the Diesel's idea and break it down like prime Shaq used to body other big men in the paint. Finally, with Julius Peppers signing a deal that makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history in his 17th season, the team debates the risk vs. reward of such a long football career. Gil takes us inside the mind of athletes when weighing riches, fame, glory, and passion for the game against potential serious health consequences, plus makes an argument that Peppers won't be the only non-QB to stack so much in the changing NFL.

Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew always keep it 100, but today especially, as they discuss Thunder superstar Russell Westbrook recording his 100th triple-double. Opinions vary on how big a deal it is, but Gil has strong feelings about Russ' playing style and championship chances, and also shares a funny story that explains why he never became a triple-double king. In "Secure the Bag," OOB breaks down QB Kirk Cousins' reported $84M fully guaranteed contract with the Vikings. Is Minnesota bugging? And will this contract lead to more fully guaranteed NFL money? Gil also has a hot take on what's behind all the reported signings ahead of actual signings. Next, LeBron James says he's "got to" stay in the NBA to play with LeBron Jr. if his son, who's only 13, can realistically make the league in five or six years. The guys weigh in on father-son teammates (and opponents) and whether it will actually happen for the James boys. Putting himself in Bron's shoes, Gil talks about the time he surpassed his dad and what the repercussions would be if his son ever flamed him on an NBA court. Finally, in "Fair or Foul?" the gang reacts to a report that Madison Square Garden has been using face-scanning technology on customers. Whether it's for security, marketing, or something else, would you trust your team owner to use it morally? And would it prevent you from attending live games? See what Gil and the guys have to say.

The Hibachi is turned all the way up, so be careful not to burn yourself on his hot takes! Today on #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas and the guys react to the Houston Astros' White House visit, and specifically Jose Altuve's awesomely awkward meeting with President Trump. Will the AL MVP's headline-making, passive-aggressive shade thrown at the Donald start a trend of disapproving champions accepting invites so they can stare daggers at him? Plus, Gil has a suspect theory on what's behind Altuve's range of uncomfortable facial expressions. (Feel free to take your complaints up with him directly.) Next, the team discusses the NCAA excluding ref Ted Valentine from the tournament as punishment for turning his back on UNC's Joel Berry II earlier this season. Surprisingly, "TV Ted" has a defender on set, and the debate gets cooking. Then, with excerpts of Ray Allen's forthcoming book shedding light on Celtics beefs, OOB takes a look at what the future Hall of Famer has to say about Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo. What follows may be Gil's most ludicrous argument ever, but you decide if both he and Rondo are out their damn minds. Finally, after both Evan Turner and Richard Sherman responded to criticism of their contracts, the gang gets into pocket-watching in "Fair or Foul?" And, for all you sneaker heads, Gil breaks down sports contracts and ownership in terms of Yeezys, so you don't get these money moves twisted.

Gilbert Arenas makes a triumphant return to #OutofBounds with absolutely no chill! The team kicks things off with the 2018 NCAA Tournament bracket, discussing which schools were done dirty, which ones are likely to pull of upsets, and which team the guys like to win it all. Gil takes issue with the NCAA letting teams like struggling Oklahoma slide in on the strength of early wins and explains why Sooners star Trae Young is in trouble come pre-draft workouts. Next, OOB tackles vengeful cornerback Richard Sherman, who signed with the rival 49ers shortly after the Seahawks cut him. Gil weighs in on the revenge factor, incentive-based contracts, fans burning jerseys, and how the 49ers view Sherman's outspokenness in the wake of the Colin Kaepernick protest drama. In other NFL news, the crew reacts to the viral video that appears to show superstar Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and an IG model with a blunt and some coke. Opinions vary on what the substances are and what the fallout may be, and Gil shares a weed-tastic story of an old girlfriend to illustrate his point, plus breaks down why you'll never see him in a viral video. Finally, following Grayson Allen’s latest dirty dickhead incident (add a hip-check to his list of trips), bitter Duke hater Gil and the boys list the most annoying Dukies ever. The words are strong and so are the cases they make!

With Gilbert Arenas out for the day, superstar Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell joins #OutofBounds to talk big sports stories — and he is one of them! Just yesterday, Pittsburgh placed a franchise tag on Le'Veon that will pay him $14.5 million in 2018. While not scoffing at the paper, he wants a long-term deal and explains why it's so important, what it's like dealing with contract negotiation drama, and who told him he deserves a blank check in "Secure the Bag." Staying in the NFL, the OOB team tackles owners who've been walking back hard-line stances on anthem protests. Are they actually respectful of their players or just covering their asses? Le'Veon shares the inside story of how the anthem drama played out with the Steelers. Next, the guys respond to Kevin Love's essay, in which he revealed he's been getting therapy after suffering panic attacks in games, and discuss the differences in how mental health is perceived in the NBA and the NFL. Le'Veon opens up to let fans, who often don't see athletes as people, know what it's really like playing pro ball. Finally, after the Clippers signed a jersey patch deal with the female-empowerment dating app Bumble, the crew reacts and decides what company would be the worst sponsor to have on your uniform.

Black Mamba strikes again! Last night, at the 90th annual Academy Awards, Kobe added to his impressive trophy collection when he won the “Best Animated Short” Oscar for “Dear Basketball.” Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew rank the win among his many accomplishments and debate if it changes the GOAT conversation between him and Michael Jordan. Next, Gil and the guys discuss whether the NFL Scouting Combine — where some prospects have performed poorly — is important or total BS, considering teams have actual game footage to help determine if players are any good. Then, following reports that extension talks have broken down between Jordan Brand and Spurs star Kawhi Leonard, Gil keeps it all the way real in "Secure the Bag" and determines Kawhi's market value, whether or not he deserves a signature shoe, and where he's most likely to sign his next shoe deal. Finally, with Floyd Mayweather Jr. telling TMZ he's developing a boxing video game, the OOB boys say what they want to see in his game before getting into heavyweight star Deontay Wilder's latest win. See why Wilder blows Gil's mind, and not in a good way.

Rest in peace to the Clippers' Wesley Johnson, who was the victim of a homicide by James Harden crossover last night (check out the full story on the Complex: http://www.complex.com/sports/2018/03/james-harden-broke-wesley-johnson-ankles-clippers-spirit-with-crossover-of-year). Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds team react to the move...and the long pause...and the look...that have everyone talking, and Gil shares the story of the time Dwyane Wade made a fool of him on the hardwood. Keeping it in the NBA, the guys discuss the anti-tanking memo Commissioner Adam Silver sent owners, and Gil explains how to identify and punish tankers. Moving to the NFL, the gang gets into the reported beef between star tight end Rob Gronkowski and the the Patriots, who tried to prevent him from praising the TB12 Method, Tom Brady's diet and workout plan. Then, with Johnny Manziel telling the story of the time the Browns caught him in Vegas when he was supposed to be in Cleveland treating a concussion, OOB ranks the top 5 ways athletes have tried to hide their f*ckery. Gil shares a couple amazing Danny Fortson stories you do not want to miss. Finally, following a report that Russia will allow fans to bring weed, coke, and heroin to the 2018 World Cup if they have supporting medical documents, the team imagines how that'll play out, wonders how you get a heroin prescription and if there are ulterior motives behind this, and decides if they would risk bringing drugs to Putin's party.

The NFL is getting something right for a change?! Word is the league's competition committee is serious about changing its confusing and controversial catch rule. Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew discuss that, as well as some other potential rule changes that they don't all support (not everybody gives AF about player safety, apparently). Then, following LeBron's comments that the NCAA is "corrupt" and young players need a viable alternative to college and overseas leagues, the team talks about how realistic it is for the G League to become a farm system. In discussing his experience at the University of Arizona, Gil learns that he may have violated a whole gang of rules, before explaining why he hates Duke and Coach K with a passion. Next, the guys look ahead to the weekend's big Celtics-Rockets primetime matchup in "In Play" and wonder if Boston's stout D can stop Houston's roll, and Gil explains his problem with Kyrie Irving. Finally, in the wake of the California State Athletic Commission punishing former UFC champ Jon Jones for his second positive steroid test, OOB checks his excuses and tries to decide if he's the most disappointing athlete to squander their talent.

The number one question is, "Can the Feds get us?" If you're Jay Z, nah, but it appears government agents could take some big college hoops programs down. Following the revelation that an FBI investigation found potential violations in a number of high-profile schools, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew wade into NCAA hypocrisy and Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy's assertion that the NCAA is the worst organization in sports. Plus, Gil shares the advice he'd give his son about playing college ball. Next, in "Fair or Foul?", the OOB team decides if LeBron was wrong for accusing NBA refs of being biased. Since officials call the game differently for Bron because of his exceptional size and strength, it's not an easy answer. The King James talk continues as Gil and the guys reflect on Spurs coach Gregg Popovich comparing him to Black Panther as a role model for kids, and wonder if all Pop's praise for LeBron amounts to tampering. Finally, in the wake of Russell Westbrook saying Zaza Pachulia is dirty and intentionally landed on his leg on Saturday night, Gil defines "dirty" versus "physical," re-enacts what Zaza did, talks payback, and tells a story about the dirtiest player he went up against.

Spurs doctors have reportedly cleared Kawhi Leonard to play but the star guard is holding himself out and Coach Pop doesn't expect him to play again this season. Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew discuss Kawhi's lengthy absence with a quad injury and what it's revealed about him and the Spurs. Next, Gil and the guys react to Anthony Davis' assertion that the Pelicans would have run through the Western Conference playoffs if fellow New Orleans big man Boogie Cousins hadn't injured his Achilles. But seeing as Boogie is in a wheelchair now...are the Pels' wings clipped? Moving to the NCAA, in "The Pull-Up" Gil gives career advice to Trae Young, the Oklahoma guard whose fire freshman season has cooled TF off. Finally, with a report that the Warriors and Kings will play a preseason game in Seattle, the OOB gang wonders if and when the Emerald City will get the Sonics back, before the conversation gets messy determining which cities without an NBA team deserve one and which NBA cities should lose theirs.

Is Black Panther available to save sports from its shadiest characters? We need the King of Wakanda now, because there is much f*ckery in the news today. To start, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew look at the NCAA's forced vacation of Louisville's 2013 national championship, stemming from a prostitution scandal. You know, the one where a Cardinals staffer arranged sex for players and recruits — the scandal BEFORE the FBI named the school in a "pay for play" basketball corruption case. In addition to Gil sharing his own recruitment story, he has an...interesting analogy for vacating wins, and the guys debate if Rick Pitino is the slimiest coach in college hoops. The shadiness doesn't stop there, because the Dallas Mavericks are making headlines for all the wrong reasons. In "Fair or Foul," OOB passes judgment on owner Mark Cuban, who publicly admitted that his team has been tanking for a year and a half. If only that were the worst of it. Next, Gil and the gang wade into a damning exposé on sexual misconduct within the Mavs organization. Will all these scandals — and the end of the Dirk Nowitzki era — bring down Cuban and a franchise once thought to be the model for the NBA? Transitioning to happier, on-court NBA action, OOB previews Saturday's primetime matchup between the Thunder and Warriors for "In Play." Beyond picks, Gil has a unique take on the KD-Russ "beef" and what he expects the Brodie will give the Dubs this weekend. Finally, Wizards guard Bradley Beal joins the show to talk about how he's improved as a player, his working relationship with John Wall, and his fondest memory of Washington legend Gilbert Arenas.

There won't be any NBA games played until Thursday night, but Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds team still have plenty to talk about in the world of basketball. During All-Star Weekend, Commissioner Adam Silver entertained the idea of shaking up the NBA playoffs format, re-seeding the top eight Eastern and Western teams 1–16 to increase the likelihood of the two best teams meeting in the championship round — regardless of conference. Gil and the guys debate the idea's merits and ask, is it all a conspiracy to give LeBron James a better shot at making the Finals? With Houston (44-13) boasting the league's best record at the All-Star break, the team discusses the reasons for the Rockets' success and whether or not they're the best team in the NBA. (Have the Warriors woken up from their regular season nap yet? Does it even matter?) Speaking of the Rockets, MVP front-runner James Harden sits down with OOB to talk about his evolution as a player and fashion icon, Houston hoops culture, and what he didn't know about Chris Paul before they teamed up. Next, CP3 chats with OOB about building a brotherhood in Houston, witnessing greatness in Harden, and his off-court interests. The superstar assist man also dishes some pre-Draft workout and Team USA Gil stories — a bit of flaming that Gil responds to in true Hibachi fashion.

 The buzzer has sounded on NBA All-Star Weekend 2018. There were highs, there were lows, there were parties, and Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds team have thoughts on all of it. The reaction starts at the Celebrity Game, where Migos member Quavo took the MVP trophy — and impressed Gil with a non-basketball move. Next, the gang gets into the Slam Dunk Contest, which Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell won, and the All-Star Game, which Team LeBron won 148-145. Have the dunks become too gimmicky and unoriginal? Did the refs try to steal the show at the ASG? Did the format changes, with captains drafting — and a surprising amount of defense and effort — save the showcase game? Or does the NBA need to shake things up further? Depends whom you ask. Following the debate, OOB shares friend of the show Nate Robinson's star-studded video diary of the festivities, featuring Kevin Hart, Nick Cannon, DJ Khaled, and more. Of course, it wouldn't be All-Star Weekend without tons of big parties, and Kenny "The Jet" Smith tells Adam about the evolution and dangers of ASW turn-ups, before Gil chimes in with the BTS story of his own $2 million birthday bash. Finally, Jimmy Butler sits down with Adam to discuss why he says whatever he feels, how he chooses his court kicks, and what happens when he plays country music in the Timberwolves locker room.

On today's show, NBA bad boy Matt Barnes joins Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew to discuss on- and off-court hoops action. Getting things started, Matt tells the back story of his infamous fake pass at Kobe's face, which revealed Black Mamba to be as cold-blooded as they come. Next, the guys give their two cents on a lawsuit that Blake Griffin's former fiancee filed on Valentine's Day, dragging the five-time All-Star, who's now dating model Kendall Jenner. The suit claims he's a deadbeat dad who prioritizes Hollywood celebrity over family. Matt, who played with Blake, shares some observations and words of wisdom about bitter exes. In less ugly V-Day news, Giannis Antetokounmpo put his girlfriend on blast, showing off the sex toy she got him on IG live. The gang decides whether that was fair or foul, and Gil explains how he would make use of the thoughtful gift. Following the ejection of Isaiah Thomas and Rajon Rondo last night, for a skirmish reportedly fueled by shade Rondo threw at IT, the team says the real problem is the refs, and offers a suggestion for how the NBA should deal with bad, whistle-happy officials. Gil and Matt then put to rest the debate over whether or not Warriors coach Steve Kerr disrespected the Suns Monday by letting his players call their own plays. And finally, in "The Pull-Up," the NBA vets advise the league on how it can fix the All-Star Game and the weekend generally. If the Association doesn't finish with these great assists, it needs to be sent to the G League.

It's Valentine's Day, but not everybody is spreading love. Following an article on the rise of shade in the NBA — and how it differs from traditional trash talk — Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew make cases for players who should be crowned the NBA's Shade King. Gil also remembers his sh*t-popping prime, when he walked into the league like Tupac with his chest out, and the time he wanted to fight Shaq. Next, Gregg Popovich's recent comments on Black History Month and institutional racism get the guys debating who the most woke coach in sports is, and Gil has precise and hilarious criteria for what makes someone woke in his eyes. Moving to the NFL, the team decides whether it's fair or foul for Colin Kaepernick to request a deposition of Commissioner Roger Goodell's wife in his collusion lawsuit against the league. And finally, because it is V-Day, Agent Zero comes through with Valentine's Day advice to save clueless players. It's definitely not PC, but it is all the way real!

Why would a former athlete who made over $40 million risk everything in the drug game? Following the arrest of onetime MLB All-Star pitcher Esteban Loaiza for allegedly trafficking 20 kilos of cocaine, Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew tries to figure that out. Speaking of drugs ruining careers, infamous party boy and NFL bust Johnny Manziel revealed yesterday that he's bipolar and doing much better now that he's sober and on medication. The guys discuss whether the revelation makes it more or less likely that a team will give the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner a second shot. In "Fair or Foul," Gil and the gang address LaVar Ball's reported ultimatum that if the Lakers don't sign his younger sons LiAngelo and LaMelo, that Lonzo will leave them for any team that will sign all three.... Finally, with NBA teams picking up players who've cleared waivers, the team debates whether any of these spare parts will actually help a contender — and if it's just over for Derrick Rose.

After trading six players away and picking up four new ones at the NBA trade deadline, the Cavs look refreshed, focused, and happy for the first time in a long time. Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew discuss why the subtraction of Isaiah Thomas, Derrick Rose, and others has helped Cleveland, how far they'll go, and whether or not LeBron and the Cavs organization shaded the departed players. With Robert Parish calling Paul Pierce the "greatest offensive Celtic ever" before Boston retired his No. 34 jersey on Sunday, the guys debate that controversial claim. Gil being Gil, he's got a hot take that could get him banned from Boston. Next, following Eagles lineman Lane Johnson's assertion that nobody enjoys playing on the Patriots because it's a "fear-based organization," the gang gets into the importance of having fun playing professionally in "The Pull-Up." Finally, DeAndre’ Bembry's recent arrest for driving 128 mph in a 55 mph zone sparks a conversation about why athletes, who have so much to lose, are still racing down the street like some maniacs, and Gil shares a story about the time he and Jason Richardson raced Escalades in LA.

On today's show, special guest Kenyon Martin joins Gil and the #OutofBounds gang to talk the day's biggest sports stories. The convo kicks off with the looming NBA trade deadline and how trades affect team chemistry. Next, the crew discusses the three-year extension Sixth Man of the Year candidate Lou Williams just signed with the Clippers. Did he sell himself short in seeking stability and security? With late breaking news that the Cavs are trading Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye, and their protected first-round pick in 2018 to the Lakers for Larry Nance, Jr. and Jordan Clarkson, our "In Play" look at Cleveland's big nationally-televised Sunday matchup in Boston — when the Celtics will retire Paul Pierce's jersey — is extra spicy. Adam and Pierce break down the impact that the trade will have on both teams, as well as how it will affect the big game. Finally, following a report that Rob Gronkowski could retire from football to become a Hollywood action star, the team weighs in on how good he'd be, and also makes picks for athletes who would be great flexing muscles on the big screen.

Not the Unicorn!!! Knicks fans' worst nightmare came true last night when Kristaps Porzingis tore his ACL — an injury that could keep him out up to a year and change him as a player. Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew discuss the impact of the injury, including whether New York should explore trading KP. Next, they talk tampering, with the Lakers fined $50K for praise Magic Johnson heaped on Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. Gil feels some kinda way about the situation and hilariously compares it to dating as only he can. With the reveal of fallen star Derrick Rose's bulletproof Adidas contract, Gil explains the deal in "Secure the Bag," from Rose's initial leverage, to why Adidas hasn't wiggled out, and how it affects bigger stars on the Adidas roster. One such star, injured All-Star point guard John Wall, recently responded to shade thrown his way by Wiz teammates, and the OOB gang gets into the source of the tension, as well as the effect it might have. Could the Lakers capitalize on unrest in Washington to bring Wall to LA and start building the next super-team? Finally, following an announcement that the San Francisco Giants will retire controversial slugger Barry Bonds' number 25 — despite MLB HOF voters hating on him for his surly attitude and suspected steroids use — the guys discuss whether or not it's time to stop being salty and just embrace the steroid era for what it was.

Even before Nick Foles and the Eagles upset Tom Brady and the Patriots, several Philadelphia players said they would decline an invite to President Donald Trump's White House if they won. Outspoken safety Malcolm Jenkins has now joined teammates Chris Long and Torrey Smith in saying he would not attend. The #OutofBounds crew weighs in on champions refusing to visit Trump's White House, and Gilbert Arenas has an unexpected and thought-provoking take on the highly politicized issue. Next, the guys discuss the Super Bowl's relatively low ratings, and what they indicate about interest in the NFL, before tackling Vegas odds that make the Patriots — with 40-plus-year-old QB Brady — favorites to win next year's Super Bowl. Finally, with LeBron's Cavs struggling mightily and appearing to unravel, Gil gives advice on how to fix things in OOB's newest segment, "The Pull-Up." Gil being Gil, his assessment of Cleveland is far from your standard sports talk show take.

Super Bowl LII is in the books! Friend of the show, Miko Grimes joins Gilbert Arenas and the #OutofBounds crew to discuss Philadelphia's "upset" 41-33 victory over New England, Eagles QB Nick Foles' come-up, the Pats' terrible D and shady exclusion of cornerback Malcolm Butler (contract conspiracy?), and more NFL catch rule controversy. Pierce gets NFL players' thoughts on the impact this L will have on Tom Brady's legacy before Miko and Gil weigh in. Then the OOB gang revisits their Super Bowl prop bets to see who came out on top. Plus, Philly's infamous fans acted the fool after the win, breaking their city, and the team wonders how winning will change them, and if there's a racist double standard in destructive sports celebrations. To close, we congratulate Terrell Owens on finally making the NFL Hall of Fame — along with first-ballot greats like Randy Moss, Brian Dawkins, and Ray Lewis — and Miko goes in on both Lewis and the gatekeeper NFL writers who vote on the HOF.

The Super Bowl is this Sunday, but not even the big game can eclipse the report that LeBron would seriously consider joining the Warriors as a free agent this summer if they clear max contract space for him. The #OutofBounds crew goes in on whether the "sources" are legit or this is just trolling for traffic. After that, the absurdity continues with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather hinting that he'll fight MMA in 2018 to set up another bank-heist bout with Conor McGregor. With the Super Bowl fast approaching, the team tackles Chris Long's hilarious tattoo bet on the game, as well as sure-fire game bets and funny (but completely real) prop bets that you can make on the game. Closing things out, Gil and the gang decide if it's fair or foul that franchise player Blake Griffin found out that the Clippers had traded him to the Pistons on Twitter. Gil shares some memorable trade stories you do not want to miss.

It was a huge day in the NBA yesterday and the #OutofBounds crew is here for all of it. All-Stars Kevin Love and John Wall are going to be out for nearly two months with injuries. Gil and the gang discuss the impact on the players, their teams, the playoff races, and why the system to replace them in the All-Star Game is f*cked up. For this week's In Play segment, OOB takes a closer look at Saturday's Rockets-Cavs primetime matchup, which could get ugly, given Cleveland's league-worst defensive rating and James Harden going off last night for the first 60-point triple-double in NBA history. From there, the team talks loyalty in sports, after LeBron James used the Clippers' Blake Griffin trade to call out a double standard for teams and players. To wrap things up, everyone weighs in on the music Tom Brady says he listens to when trying to center himself and what it says about the five-time Super Bowl champ.

Following yesterday's shocking mega trade, in which the Clippers sent five-time All-Star Blake Griffin to the Pistons to start a rebuild, the #OutofBounds crew weighs in on what it means for both teams and the players involved. One thing's sure: Blake better pack some winter coats, 'cause it's so cold in the D. (And that's before you wonder if his model girlfriend, Kendall Jenner, will stick with him in Michigan.) Next, Gil and the gang react to the Cleveland Indians' announcement that the team will stop using its Chief Wahoo racist caricature logo in 2019. Gil feels some kind of way and has a hot take on where PC cultural policing may go next. With NFL commissioner Roger Goodell stating he wants to change the league's confusing and universally-hated catch rule, the team just hopes he doesn't drop the ball.... Finally, OOB decides whether it's fair or foul for LaVar Ball to call the Warriors' Steve Kerr the “Milli Vanilli of Coaching” when Mr. Big Baller has coached precisely one professional game...in an exhibition tournament...in Lithuania.

With Super Bowl LII looming, legendary NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens joins #OutofBounds to talk the big game, a mayoral bet that could drape Philly's iconic Rocky statue in a Tom Brady jersey, his exclusion from the Hall of Fame, and the return of Vince McMahon's XFL. T.O., Gil, and crew also break down the NBA's plan to ease lingering tensions between players and refs, weigh in on MMA icon Ronda Rousey signing with WWE to fake-wrestle full-time, and decide the fairness/foulness of Joel Embiid posting a funny pic of him dunking on star guard Russell Westbrook after losing to his Thunder for the second time this season.

In anticipation of 2018 NBA All-Star team captains LeBron James and Steph Curry drafting their teams later today via conference call, the #OutofBounds crew conducts its own draft. NBA Commissioner Pierce Simpson starts things off with a coin toss to decide whether Gilbert Arenas or Adam Caparell gets to be LeBron and pick first. With that decided, the guys bring wildly different strategies and a lot of sh*t-talking as they select first from the starter pool and then from the reserves. Who drafted the better team? Check out their squads and reasoning and let us know.

Following the announcement of the NBA All-Star Reserves, the team talks snubs and Gil pulls back the curtain on the coach's voting. In the "In Play" segment, OOB breaks down the upcoming Saturday night matchup between the Celtics and Warriors — the NBA's best defensive and offensive teams. To close, the guys react to the Eagles shaming the greedy NFL into giving "underdog" T-shirt proceeds to charity.

The crew weighs in on who they think would be the best fit and who will actually be the next owner. Paul Pierce dead set against Isaiah Thomas getting a tribute video on the same night as his Boston Celtics jersey-retiring. While Adam and Pierce believe IT can get at least a 30-second video, Gil thinks Pierce should have a full-on Pierce-Land tribute like Kobe. One thing they all agree on is that Kid Rock should not headline the NHL All-Star Game.
