How Team France EXPOSED The Truth On Rudy Gobert's Bad Defense as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to Rudy Gobert being benched by Team France in 2 straight games of the 2024 Paris Olympics and debate why the NBA's most decorated defensive player continues to lose minutes when the moment gets too big, explaining that his defense really isn't that good when the game is on the line. Do you think Gobert will get any meaningful run when France takes on Team USA in the Gold Medal Match?

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

  • Idk why this seems news now when it’s been a thing that Gobert always was unplayable. It’s no way a 4 time DPOY should be unplayable
  • @slimfo378
    JT brought his son to paris to help him hand out waters to the boys 😂😂
  • @Fallbaby87
    Mccants energy was different for Tatum 😂😂😂
  • @swervo4464
    Rudy ain’t no good defender 😂😂but idk how he wins the award
  • @KreyzAim
    Germany doesn’t have enough bigs so they’ll go small ball. Rudy is not getting minutes in that aspect. It’s more of a matchup situation rather than ‘he’s trash’ situation. Agenda is clear on the podcast tho 😂
  • Time Out! If she don’t hawk tuah I don’t want to Tawk Tua! 🤣
  • @Konahagure
    I like how Kenyon Martin just listens for a while then chooses moments to make points or provide perspective.
  • Saying rudy has the sane defensively to mutumbo is diabolical
  • Ok cool, now I wonder if they’re gonna talk about Tatum not playing and say it exposed him somehow? 🤔
  • @Dombuddy5
    Rashad got da ultimate old dude shirt on😂
  • @TREVEL216
    Kenyon at 7ft is tough..he already was a 6'9" pogo stick. Dunks, put backs, oops, jumphooks, blocks, contests.. he used to get off the floor so quickly even after the microfracture surgery on both knees.
  • An immobile center should never be considered for a defensive player of the year just because you block shots at the rim. It’s always laughable to see these stiffs get the award. Wings who take on the best offensive players should be considered more. Marcus Smart, Tony Allen, etc
  • @rjb1987xx
    Do rashad be high when they film im dead ass serious too 😂😂😂😂
  • @HanleiHess
    Appreciate your authenticity, keep being real
  • Pretty easy to understand why Rudy is not playing. The coach tried Rudy as 5 and Wemby as 4 during all the preparation and pool matches and it was pretty terrible (If the Spurs have shown something this season it's that Wemby is way better as a 5) so he had to make a choice. The choice is obvious you start Wemby (better defensively and offensively than Rudy). Could he try Rudy as 4? No, cause Wemby needs a 4 that is physical and play bully ball to protect him and help him keep up to the physicality of FIBA rules. That why Yabusele is starting and Rudy is benched. Then when Victor goes out he plays Lessort (that's when Rudy could get angry cause he is not 2nd behind Wemby but third) so why? Again easy to understand if you watched France's matches: Lessort is doing great even if Americans don't know him he is a Euroleague champ this year and one of the best number 5 in Europe he is "small" but he is a physical beast and he can play 4 with Wemby on some rotation doing the same thing that Yabusele do (meaning being physical in the paint to protect Wemby). Rudy wont ever be a starter for France (except if Wemby gets hurt) is time is over
  • Y'all have to realize that one person is always gonna have to disagree on a topic so there's actually something to talk about in a way that these guys are good at. Don't take it so serious
  • @Hector34562
    The fact Gobert won 4dpoy is insane🤦🏽‍♂️
  • @aeropistale
    These guys are walking contradictions. This is just like the Jayson Tatum situation. You think Tatum would have been a part of that come back against Serbia? No.. he is better when it’s guaranteed.
