Gil's Arena Battles Over Basketball's BIGGEST Rookie as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew debate who will have the bigger impact between Victor Wembanyama & Caitlin Clark when the dust settles on their rookie seasons. While many think the Iowa phenom is already changing the WNBA thanks to her Nike deal & popularity, Gil argues that the 2 superstars are NOWHERE CLOSE when it comes to roles in changing the game.

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

    Gil keeps calling the Washington Mystics the Washington Wizards. 😂
  • @stuartmccleary
    Anytime Lexi face is on the thumbnail I know she on some shit 😂
  • @og_mante5138
    You can see the anger in Lexie’s eyes when she hears Caitlyn Clark’s name😂
  • @moemoore4896
    Lexie been emotional since Gil said she was shaking elbows and knees 😂😂😂
  • @cocovi
    If women themselves watched the WNBA, the media rights would bring in a boatload of money. Women need to support women's sports if they want female athletes to be better valued
  • @roctwofizzle7266
    Caitlin Clark has 2.1 million Instagram followers..A'ja Wilson has less than 900K..of course Caitlin is gonna have a signature shoe.
  • @jordahnsummers
    Lexie can never actually hear what is being said. Nobody was downing the business of the WNBA (which doesn’t even make money) Gil was just saying look at the business Spurs value increased and Nike should have had an innovative roll out
  • @GODisallloving
    Gill face at the end was like ya fuck this conversation 😂
  • @desmondmack7807
    Lexie kept thinkin Gil was bashin Clarke and women when he said they "dropped the ball" by not always having her shoe ready but he wasn't. He was sayin NIKE dropped the ball... And he's saying they been dropping it by not learning yet.
  • @Ohhellnahhh-x9d
    She complaining about comparing the NBA to WNBA but don’t mind comparing salaries
  • @hyaashiredd
    Gil is speaking from being a parent of teenagers. He’s telling the podcast that youth can garner more eyes in the product due to the overwhelming number that a kid fanbase will bring. Lexi is speaking very protectively of the WNBA due to the lack of respect that has been delivered to them up until recently.
  • @DJ-fw8xl
    The MYSTICS!!! 😂😂 that came from the depths of her soul lol
  • @magicinkster7220
    Like Norm Macdonald said. The next wnba game I watch will be the first wnba game I watch.
  • @Mandozen
    Wemby’s Nike contract is rumoured to be 100M and if it’s true, its the biggest rookie shoe deal ever, and he got that contract even before he was drafted.
  • @stayfly68
    Lol we need to give arenas credit for his patience 😂😂
  • @randomdude12370
    Why is lexie like that? Gil is talking about marketing and she thinks its him hating on women. Really?
  • Gil is right about Nike’s marketing team dropping the ball on not launching Kaitlin’s signature shoe on the day of the draft…It would have definitely sold out a few minutes into the draft
  • @aspyn17
    They making gil sound smart as hell. The nba is not a finished product or you would start it in your prime. What was gainnis, jokic, embiid etc when they first got drafted. Not half the players they are now. Your prime comes a few years after being drafted that’s why they want them as young as possible
  • @Mandozen
    Forbes reported that Wemby added 500M to the franchise he will be drafted in. Just now, NBA posted the top-selling jerseys this season and Wemby is top 4 overall. He is top 2 in jersey sales in Europe. And the Spurs are even in the top 10 franchise’ merch sales this season. I’m guessing Caitlyn Clark will do the same if not better for her team, but there’s levels to this. It’s easier to make an impact in a small pond, compared to the ocean.

    Bro Caitlyn got the wnba tickets to NBA prices 😂😂😂😂😂
