On this episode, we’ve a coach on the show! David Fizdale truly embodies the spirit of the game, with a nod to the old school, and a well adjusted connection to the current era of players. Coach Fiz came up in an era of basketball in LA before players moved around, and one where your community was rooted in the game. As Fiz’s basketball life took him out of his neighborhood and far beyond X’s and O’s, he’s established himself as one of the best minds in the game.

For Gil, Coach Fiz has always been one of the good ones, who not only the street cred as hooper, but the pedigree with rings as an assistant in Miami, to the head job in Memphis and New York. We can’t wait to see where Fiz goes next, but we know he brings an enlightened world view to a team, filling in with a dedication to the game and the players committed to getting better. The best thing about Fiz is something we should all strive to mirror, his love of the game, and take part in bringing it to another level.

On this episode, we get a look at Agent Zero at work...this time as a coach. It’s one thing as a player to individually push yourself, work on what you need to make yourself better and understand what works for you. Now, Gil’s applying that to players as pupils, giving them the groundwork to become who they want to be as players.

For Gil, it all comes down to competition. Your time in the gym has to be for one thing and one thing, to be the ultimate competitor. To push yourself beyond limits and be comfortable in the toughest conditions. And limits? There is no such thing. Time, reps, made shots...it’s as much as you want and as far as you want to go.

On this episode, we’ve got a Hall of Famer and one of the best receivers ever to throw on a helmet, the one, the only, Terrell Owens. You know him as the all-time great talent and larger than life persona, but there’s so much more to understand in terms of his mindset and approach to the game. Also, it’s about time we stop to recognize just how much of a pioneer he was in his celebrations and the flair he brought to the sport.

Oh and he also is a hooper. For Gil, putting high level athletes on the basketball court is a unique challenge. For TO, we find out, he used the basketball court to work on elements of his receiver technique, from footwork to pivots to verticality, he translated it to the gridiron. And for multi-sport athletes, you can use TO’s effectiveness and production as proof that there are definite benefits in finding influences from other sports. That and being a freak athlete helps too...

On this episode, we jump right back into another NBA season. It was a short, short offseason, but looking at the glass half full for 2021, we’re getting a full season and the NBA cycle back on track. As much basketball as possible please!

For some players, they didn’t get to the Bubble and have had long layoff, while for others it was a quick turnaround. Either way, hoopers staying hooping.]

For Gil, as the season gets back, he wants to see who’s going to step up. From the guys in new places, the rookies ready to shine and the special few who are ready to take their game to another level, we'll get caught up quick. As for who wins it all...here’s a hint...he planning on another championship in LA. The NBA is back like it never left and we’re here for it!

On this episode, we take a trip back to the early 2000’s. In the early days of the internet and online media, a young Agent Zero became a blog sensation. His writer, current NBA beat reporter, New York Times best selling author and NBA on ESPN personality, Dave McMenamin. Back then, a young journalist on the rise, Dave was connected with Gil in DC to submit some entries to NBA.com. What they got was a whole lot more than expected.

It was then that Gil discovered the power of the media, how to get his message out there, connect with fans, relay his perspective of the game and the world around it. Really, that takes us to today. With his playing days behind him, Gil has stayed connected with his fans, definitely knows how to deliver in interviews, in appearances, on shows and of course his podcast. But it had to start somewhere.

And as we're seeing with the modern athlete, the use of the media and their own platforms to engage and communicate is a powerful thing. It’s something that is a must to first learn how it works, then apply your own voice and style. Once again, Agent Zero is blazing a trail.

On this episode, we run through the deep amount of young talent and future stars that we sat down with this year. When we set out to get familiar with the next wave of players, we wanted to give them an opportunity to pick the brain and learn from the one and only Agent Zero. Meanwhile, Gil wanted to see for himself what exactly this next crop was made of. Bottom line...the game is in good hands!

From guys hitting the league, like Onyeka Okongwu or Cassisus Stanley, to the guys ready to make the leap like Josh Christopher and Kyree Walker, we got in deep with top tier talent. And then there are the top prospects like Peyton Watson, Amari Bailey and Jaden Hardy, they’re proving why they are ready to take run with the top spot. As for the up and comers, we found out from Mackenly Randolph, Juju Watkins and Skyy Clark that they’re getting ready early to change the game. Yup the game is in good shape and then some.

On this episode, we catch up with one of the most athletically gifted and psychologically prepared prospects ahead of the 2020 NBA Draft, Cassius Stanley. After one season at Duke and a product of southern California, Cassius is primed to make a splash at the pro level. While his 46-inch vertical catches your eye, it’s his poise and professionalism that will make him a difference maker in the league. Add in that year of polish under Coach K’s tutelage, and he’s set to have a huge payoff with his future team.

For Gil, Cassius’ background is literally close to home. He’s watched him progress at Sierra Canyon and in runs against pros. As Gil recognized, it was just a matter of time before Cassius put together the nuances of the game with elite level athleticism. And by the looks of it, that time is now.

On this episode, we head out to Vegas to check out one of the top players in the country. One thing you should know about Vegas (if you didn’t know already) they hoop out there. It’s not just the Summer League or Team USA camps, Jaden Hardy is proof that top talent is out in the desert. His unique makeup puts him in a category that blends the attributes of a playmaker and an assassin. This means he can create for himself, teammates and flat-out takeover when he needs to. He’s also atop the rankings for the class of 2021, and his pedigree is that of success every step of the way.

For Gil, what he sees in Jaden is supreme court presence and a cornerstone player. We always are wowed by highlights, but the higher up you go, you want that player that you can build around. And if there’s one thing to know, even if you’re top of the mountain, there’s always someone or something to chase. As Jaden goes, we love to see where that will be in the future.

On this episode, we’ve got two Wizards greats together. John Wall, DC’s franchise player has been working overtime and is set to return on another level. John is one of the most electrifying players in the league when healthy, and as he’s getting back to one hundred percent, it’s what he’s adding that is the most impressive. We catch up with him at the Sports Academy in California where he traveled to put in work and square off against the likes of Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and other top NBA talent in order to prep for next season.

For Gil, he’s always got his eye on his little brother, and he wants to see John continue to grow in perspective and continue to refine his skill. With all of John’s ability, he has even more to accomplish. Above all, he’s a hooper and it’s the heart and character that will guide his actions and impact on the game. By all means, John Wall is back and with all that he’s driven by, we’re rooting for a big time return.

On this episode, we catch up with Darren Collison. Since hanging it up, Darren has moved on to a space where he is directly impacting the next wave of players. In 2019 he started Pro’s Vision, a full service training program based in Orange County, where he passes on his NBA experience, on court knowledge and rolls up his sleeves to get down to training top crop players. For Darren, he values the mentor role above all, as he stays connected to the game while watching his players' development.

For Gil, this is the ultimate reward. Passing on the wisdom, while staying competitively connected in the game. As Darren explains the vision behind Pro’s Vision, the concept lines up directly with Gil’s focus on explaining the game so the next generation can be even better than the one that came before.
