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.
