Michael Rubin Schools Gil's Arena On Sports Business

2 hours 51 minutes

Gil's Arena Names The X-Factors DECIDING The NBA Finals as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew debate which player outside of Shai Gilgeous Alexander & Tyrese Haliburton is having the biggest impact on the NBA Finals between the OKC Thunder and Indiana Pacers. They highlight how crucial Alex Caruso has been to the Thunder on both sides of the ball this season and break down how Pascal Siakam needs to bring the same energy that won him Eastern Conference Finals MVP if the Pacers want to pull off the upset. Next, they react to Boogie Cousin's HOSTILE Crash out in the Puerto Rican basketball league where the NBA legend went at fans in a courtside melee and give their pick for the perfect choice for the New York Knicks' next head coach as Jason Kidd's name has suddenly entered the fold. They then invite Entrepreneur, Philanthropist and social justice advocate Micahel Rubin into Gil's Arena to break down his rise to the top of the merchandise and memorabilia industry. He breaks down his recent partnership with future number 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg and highlights what makes the future NBA superstar a lock to be the next great American superstar, before giving his take on the future of his beloved Philadelphia 76ers. Finally, Rubin previews the upcoming fanatics fest in New York City and gives his take on who will take home the NBA Championship. Please give us a like and subscribe!!!
