Along with co-host Josiah Johnson, the No Chill Podcast is a healthy dose of all things Gilbert, his stories, his ideas and his unique perspective, while joined by athletes, actors and comedians.

Episode 106 - Pushing Classification, Equality ...
On this episode, we tackle a big and timely topic in sports. The subject of equality. Throughout the history of sports, questions of fairness, an equal playing field and opportunities for athletes -- regardless of race, gender and age -- have existed. Movements have taken place and change has happened, but we’re still seeing roadblocks in the way of progress. So we’re diving into the heart of the issue and how to bring about change. For Gil, he sees where the future of sports is headed and what stands in the way of fairness. From the rules in place, to those who fear change, we need to examine the collective frame of mind around progress, what’s fair and the best course of action. We have examples throughout sports history...both the good and the bad...to learn from. As for the future, we want the best athletes to compete, succeed and push the game forward.

Episode 105 - Finding Your Niche with Glen "Big...
On this episode, we go big, with none other than Glen “Big Baby” Davis. Coming up as a manchild from Louisiana, Big Baby proved he could hoop with his unique combination of size and mobility. When he got to the pro level, he quickly figured out that to really make it, he’d have to use his unorthodox makeup to find his place in the league. Thankfully, he landed on a Boston team that was in win-now mode, and demanded its role players to get in where they fit in. For Gil, Big Baby was exactly the kind of guy you want on your roster -- does whatever he has to do for the team to win, doesn’t back down and will shine in his role. From there, Baby knew how to have fun and be himself. That Boston team had the big three, but they also had a team of personalities that became a brotherhood. That’s winning culture. There haven’t been too many players like Big Baby, and looking at what he’s done with basketball, he definitely deserves some more shine.

Smith. We all know Stephen A., but you may not have known he came up as a hooper, playing college ball at the HBCU school, Winston-Salem. That connection to the game carried Stephen A. through his entire career. We all know he can get his point across, but the most important thing is, he stands by what he says, and totally understands the athletes’ perspective. For Gil, it’s all about respect, and Stephen A. works to demand it and earn it. Of course he had a few things to say about Gil over the years, but now that Gil’s in another chapter beyond his playing days, it’s an entirely different conversation. On the basis of relationships, athletes and media members can actually coexist. As Gil sees it, it takes accountability and the willingness to look yourself in the mirror when putting the narrative in context. And as Stephen A. tells us, we root for guys to succeed, but it’s how they handle themselves that keeps us talking.

Episode 103 - Defining an All-Star
On this episode, it’s All-Star time, and in a year that it almost didn’t happen, it’s better late than never. For those named to the teams each season, it’s a career accomplishment that goes on the resume and something we acknowledge for years to follow. For fans, we want to see the best come together and our favorite players show out on the stage. This season it’s going to be a brief All-Star experience, but let’s appreciate that the tradition continued. For Gil, a three-time All-Star himself, it’s a great accomplishment to earn. Players put in so much work and grind, so of course they’re grateful for the recognition. However, in the case of the guys that don’t make it or feel they should be starters rather than reserves, the All-Star roster can serve as a motivator. We should definitely know that these guys keep track of who’s who, and because the competitive spirit is always burning, they measure against each other. So let's dive into all things All-Star in 2021.

Episode 102 - Return of the Swag Champ with Nic...
On this episode, back like he never left, the Swag Champ himself, Nick Young. Before he heads over to China to play in the CBA, Gil wanted to get Nick on, and give him a proper send off. Nick’s come a long way through his basketball journey both on and off the court. We dive into those early DC days that shaped his career and, of course recall a few legendary stories from back in the day. In addition to his unmatched fashion sense, Nick’s style of play was ahead of its time too.  For Gil, he recognized it early and figured Nick just needed a little...push. And push he did. But you gotta remember these are two hoopers from the Valley and will be forever linked as friends. So will we see them in arena together again? Time will tell. Until then, stay tuned for a 1-on-1 rivalry (both on and off the court) that has waited over a decade to declare a winner.

On this episode, we coach the man that runs the show at the most followed program in the country, Andre Chevalier, head coach of Sierra Canyon. His alumni includes Kenyon Martin Jr, Scotty Pippen Jr, BJ Boston, Cassius Stanley and Ziaire Williams. Coach Dre has the demands of a high profile team to handle, but it’s on level one hundred when you throw on the celebrity culture that surrounds the school. Their schedule takes them all over the map and they are the marquee name for every team they face. For Gil, it’s a balancing act of getting your players to produce, managing expectations, keeping the parents and outside influences all in the right place. It all comes down to philosophy and challenging your players. For Coach Dre, he has been delivering championships amidst sky high expectations. We see the success of the program and unmatched media attention for a high school team, but make no mistake about it, these boys get down to basketball and take care of business, while they get everyone’s best shot...every single game!

Episode 100 - Friends and Rivals with Dwyane Wade
On this episode, we’ve hit a big number so we had to ring in the occasion with the one and only Dwyane Wade. DWade and Gil go way back, but there’s a lot to the friendship and the rivalry that we haven’t heard about....until now. Think back to when a young Dwyane Wade entered the league and how his career tracked from there. He’s a champion, a lock hall of famer, but really one of the players responsible for shifting what the league’s future looked like. For Gil, it is DWade’s talent that needs to be examined and appreciated. His style of play was remarkable and even affected the rules and the way games were played. Beyond that, what DWade did in Miami and the accomplishments of the Heat on the strength of player relationships, chemistry and legacy was game changing. Oh and both had a very special perspective on LeBron’s career, evolution and greatness.

On this episode, what starts out as a conversation about basketball evolves into a conversation full of life lessons. For John Lucas III, basketball has been life. His pops, John Lucas was a player, and has had a long career as a coach spanning multiple eras of the NBA. John grew up in the game, becoming a pro himself. He’s seen it from the perspective of the star, the back up, the journeyman and the rookie. The game took him all over the world, and is, for the most part, his identity. For Gil, John is the type of player who gets it. He knew who he was as a player, understands the business of the game and knows his big picture. That picture comes from a valuable lesson that any and every player will find out at some point...humility. No matter if you’re a GOAT or bench player, you experience L’s, cuts and failures of some kind at some point. As long as you learn from them, you’ll grow and be better off for the experience.

Episode 98 - The Soul of the Game with David Fi...
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.

Episode 96 - Putting on a Show with Terrell Owens
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...

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!

Episode 94 - Dominating the Media with Dave McM...
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.

Episode 89 - The Pro's Vision with Darren Collison
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.

On this episode, we have a player that is in a position to have a next level impact on the game, break molds and shift the culture. Peyton Waston has been developing into a monster...and you will get to know him very soon. The top ranked player in California, he’s headed into his senior year at Long Beach Poly already committed to UCLA for 2021. His 6’9 frame gives him unguardable length that is backed up high level playmaking ability, the versatility you dream about and scary defensive skills. For Gil, beyond Peyton’s accolades, he sees substance. To be a transcendent player you have to be a worker, a thinker and someone who wants the most out of themselves. Peyton is all of that, and while the Team USA, all-state and ranking status is a terrific achievement, he’s working on much more.

Episode 87 - Know It From Playing with Earl Watson
On this episode, we've got one we’ve been looking for, knowledge of the game from guys that played it. Earl Watson got into coaching at the pro level after thirteen seasons as a player. By 2015 he was in the head coach seat in Phoenix. The first thing he did was recognize the brilliance in store for Devin Booker and then put him in a position to tap into it. By going through the fires and playing among greatness, Earl’s approach to coaching is with that in mind. For Gil, he recognizes Earl’s philosophy as a players’ coach and the benefit it gives not only stars but your entire roster. Between Earl and Gil they see where it works and where it doesn’t. Also, how to relay that information to the next wave. They see the evolution in talent, and are here to push it forward.

Rayah Marshall, a 6’5 sensationally skilled high school senior, brings the kind of length, court vision and play making ability that has her among the top players in the nation. Headed to USC next year, Rayah stands to be a player who is poised to push the women’s game forward...think KD in mismatches, scoring at will against any type of defender. For Gil, he sees her length and creativity mixed with basketball IQ and hunger as the key components to make Rayah an all-time great player. And judging from her progress, it is absolutely in the cards. As her trainer and friend of No Chill, Jmack says, "real is rare" and Rayah is definitely for real.

With over 30 years and 500+ wins under his belt, coach Levine’s legacy is as a true teacher of the game. As intense as he was when the game tipped off, coach was equally dedicated to making his players reach their dreams. For Gil, coach Levine recognized just what made him a truly special player. Beyond the physical gifts, which coach was amazed by Gil’s feet...and his fingertips. Coach Levine recognized Gil’s real greatness was his natural ability to break the game down to its angles and how he could solve problems that teams threw at him. The result, an unguardable force and a basketball IQ that is off the charts!

On this episode, we have a player who is not only a freak athlete and is tremendously skilled, he’s also is incredibly thoughtful and an absolute worker. But make no mistake about it...he’s a flat-out stud. Meet Kijani Wright. After two years in high school, Kijani has stacked up Team USA honors, top rankings for his class, all state, all conference and all coast accolades and has made Windward in LA a must see program. For Gil, Kijani isn’t just a talented big, he’s a talented basketball player. In other words, don’t label him, because his approach to the game is to take on every role, every position and simply dominate. As a competitor, it’s not just mastering one thing, it’s becoming exceptional at both ends of the floor and ultimately becoming that complete player that everyone fears. As Kijani continues to build, he’s blending refined skill with updated intel. And for Agent Zero, that brings a definite smile to his face.

On this episode, we’re joined by one of the hardest working guys in the game, Dash Lovell. Born in Trinidad, raised in Brooklyn, Dash headed to California to first gain knowledge and also work with elite level talent. He staked his claim as a ball handling guru and expanded his reach to develop complete players with elite level skill, intelligence and technique. His attention to detail, like seeing angles, tireless preparation and finishing strategy have him among the best minds in his field. Currently a player development coach with the LA Sparks, Dash really is in the middle of maximizing the ability of all players at every level of the game. For Gil, he’s seen Dash’s progression from when he arrived on the west coast and sought out Agent Zero for some insight to where he is today. As Gil will attest, it’s in Dash’s hands now to push the game forward and tap in with the tremendous amount of talent in SoCal.
