On today’s episode of #OutofBounds, Chief Correspondent and Senior Columnist with ESPN’s The Undefeated Jemele Hill joins Gilbert Arenas, Pierce Simpson, and Adam Caparell to discuss NBA playoff action and the intersection of sports, politics, and social media.
The Rockets advanced to the Western Conference Finals by beating the Jazz 112-102 in Houston. After Chris Paul took over with 41 points, 7 rebounds, and 10 assists, the panel breaks down how CP3 changed his game to boost the Rockets.
The Warriors also advanced to the WCF, defeating the Pelicans 113-104 with a balanced offensive attack from Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. As good a team as the Rockets are, is there any way they can beat Golden State’s Hamptons 5/Death Lineup and depth?
Looking ahead to tonight’s Game 5, when Boston will look to close out Philly at home, OOB debates whether the young 76ers — who got their swagger back in their first elimination game after seeming overwhelmed in Beantown — will overcome the hostile playoff atmosphere to force a Game 6. Also, Gil questions Philly’s use of Markelle Fultz and Jemele explains why she’s not surprised that the Celtics have performed so well in the playoffs.
In “The Step-Back,” the panel talks about the ugly side of sports social media after comedian Andrew Polk tweeted that he hoped Draymond Green would get shot in the face. Jemele — who’s no stranger to social media controversy — breaks down the line you shouldn’t cross. Gil explains why some athletes should respond to haters online and others should not. Plus, everyone shares the ugliest thing someone has said about them on social media.
After President Donald Trump reportedly gave approval to invite Colin Kaepernick to the White House for a series of conversations on race involving athletes and musicians, Jemele takes issue with the motivations behind the move. The crew asks what Kaepernick would gain or lose by accepting the invitation. Also, Gil identifies the Trump critics whom the Donald doesn’t go after on Twitter and why.
Finally, OOB discusses the NFL denying running back Mike James’s request to use cannabis as a painkiller instead of powerful, addictive opioids. Jemele offers insight into the league’s continuing resistance to the plant, and Gil explains the difference between treating pain with weed and getting high.

She gets that hair straightened though. Doesn't go with the nappy like nature intended. Wonder why?
Pair up a dark skin bw, with gilbert and see how he reacts…
Jemele got demoted because MOST people don't like and agree with her opinion. Stick with sport. ESPN
Trump 2020
Racism is wrong jamelle
Sad that people with little to no talent have to use their skin color as a means to get the attention they so desperately need.
They don't know shit about weed
This hater b*tch is still relevant?
"Colin Kaepernick created the conversation he didn't create the oppression so its not on him to solve it"
Pierce some Colin Kaepernick is shedding light on 'all the injustices in America'…. doesn't he mean 'some of the issues faced by the black community in America'? Sorry my bad, I'm just whitesplaining.
Jemele! The reason for football’s ratings is because they’re racist!
Trump talks to all kinds of people. He favors the "regular" people. Not that Kaepernick is regular, but Trump OBVIOUSLY wants peace and discussions about how to obtain it. So fuck you punks, you don't know what you're talking about.
be more unfiltered
Gil never smoked but knows Satins, Indica, CBD lmao FOH!!!!
Jemele Hill should keep politics out of sports. Colin Kap is out of job because of his protests at work distracting the team chemistry. The NFL and ESPN can "suck it" for their liberal BS.
Donald Trump
Jamele best guest you guys had so far.. Awesome show guys.. Gilbert is def the biggest troll though lol
I know a woman that's looks like Terry Rozier, she has the same hard face and fade. She smokes Newport 100's everyday

Jemele is trash, shes talks without saying anything. All she tries to do is create click bait headlines, I mean look at all the nonsports topics they covered while she was on.
I definitely thought his dad was Donnie Simpson.
