Explain Joe in NBA terms..
I tried to look this up and found a couple people say it on twitter but didn’t see anyone really break this down. We all know about the Shawn Bradley joke comparison but hear me out..
- Joe started dropping mixtapes in Jersey in ‘01 with Dub B
Gil got drafted in ‘01
Joe released his debut album in ‘03
Gil signed with the wizards in ‘03
Joe went on a run with mixtapes and dropped arguably his best project MM2 in ‘06
Gil had career high stats in ‘06 averaging 29 points, 2 steals, 6 assists
From ‘06 up until ‘09 Joe was considered up to a top 5 rapper LYRICALLY, among rappers like wayne, lupe, hov, ti, etc
Gil was considered an elite player by most for those same 3 years, top 15 at the least, and even considered the best SCORER
Both hosted shows on complex in 2017
Both now have their own podcast joined by friends to talk about their respective crafts + other pop culture topics
.. i say all that to say ..
congratulations joe you are NOT Shawn Bradley..
you are Gilbert Arenas.
