Got an NBA foot fetish? Good, ’cause on today’s episode of #OutofBounds, Gilbert Arenas is in some flip-flops and has to explain himself to the rest of the crew. Once that’s settled, the team talks the NBA MVP Award and whether LeBron James — who says he’d vote for himself, based on his sensational, age-defying season — should win over James Harden. Gil has some strong feelings about a proposal to break the MVP into two awards, for the Best Player and Best Season. Next, with a new Tiger Woods biography claiming the young golfer was warned to stay away from Michael Jordan, OOB debates whether MJ was actually a bad influence and in any way responsible for Tiger’s downfall. Plus, Gil shares what he learned from Jordan back during their playing days and lets everyone know exactly how many points he once dropped on the GOAT. Then, with a new study calling for athletes and leagues to stop endorsing junk food and sugary drinks in an attempt to reduce childhood obesity, Gil and the guys weigh in on athletes’ responsibility as role models vs. the responsibility of parents who, y’know, had the damn kids. Gil shares his diet from his playing days, and it is…interesting. Also, there’s some controversy over chicken spots that could tear the team apart. Finally, the boys touch on Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer donating extra money he got in arbitration to charities as part of his “69 Days of Giving.” Gil sees some secret messaging in the numbers that, frankly, only make the charitable donation cooler.

#TOESWORKOUT
LBJ MVP over Harden HELLYEAH…O_O
Best show.
Aww man…Why he put Gil on blast like that? Called him out on the Marriott pen. Gil had the work the night before.
Please replace Adam to save this show. He gives off Dexter vibes. Trying to fit and forcing smiles. Fuckin serial killer.
harden is mvp. Easy, no doubt
The Rockets have the best record, Harden didnt play every game. He gets credit for the Rockets record tho?
Definition of most valuable player
: the player who contributes the most to his or her team's success
–
Not the best player in the league, the MOST VALUABLE.

Upfront, I'm not a LeBron, Harden or Westbrook fanboy. To be honest, I felt like Harden was robbed two years ago. Two years ago Harden's team would have performed terribly without him. Instead the MVP went to the man who could have easily been considered the BEST player in the league. Last year was Westbrook's year and I can't deny that his team would have performed terribly without his individual success, averaging a triple-double. He has performed the same feat again over 80 games this year and it should be recognized for the record setting value that it is, a record that could describe him as the BEST player in the league this year. Harden's performance this year, yielding the league's highest points per game in 72 games should be recognized as an achievement by possibly the BEST player in the league this year.
So once again, by definition, this year's MOST VALUABLE player award goes to the man who's team would have performed terribly without him.
I'll give you some hints.
82 games
3026 minutes played
857 Field Goals Made
2251 Points
33 Years old
15th Year
…if you're a numbers guy.
This nigga really said russell was the best player in the league last year. I wonder how he sees basketball. Lebron been the best player for 10 out of the 15 years he's been in the league.
Why is everyone conditioned to hate Harden? It’s such a joke
Lebron is basically deserving of this award almost every season, BUT Harden is having an exceptionally standout season. I agree with Arenas, sometimes he just sucks at getting his point across. In many cases, he's unknowingly arguing for the opposition.
Gilbert is proof of sympathy votes. He said harden beating Lebron in every category lol.
Ppg > harden
Ast > Lebron
Reb> Lebron
Fg > Lebron
Vorp> Lebron
3p%> both (36%)
Ft> harden
And let’s not forget Lebron had two teams this season, the only star on the team for two months with no Kevin Love. Oh and let’s not for get the “bad” month in January where he averaged 23 7 and 7 on 50% shooting lol. All of that and they may end with the same or better record as last year. LeBrons MVP and it shouldn’t even be close tbh
Gilbert making no sense coming to this MVP argument lol
Gilbert had 41 on Tyronne Lue and Larry Hughes.
Harden easily MVP! He lead his team to # 1 in the West. Which is harden than the east
Gil you didnt live in the ghetto but you lived in the valley, so I know you ate Pop eyes.
God GILBERT IS SO STUBBORN
This show is so underrated and arenas is hilarious
My eyes!!! 📿
Its bullshit. Harden is having the better season. Yes Lebron has had a better career and it has been at a high level consistently but Harden has had a better season. It does not make Harden better then Lebron overall but it does this season and I think the should stop fucking my boy and give him what he rightfully deserves.
But lebron is leading the league in scoring and he has more assists and rebounds
In all honesty this should be hardens 3rd straight mvp.
Shhhhht,peeps oughta been telln mj to stay tf away frm tiger's ol nympho-braniac/ambien blakout sex fiend luvn ass!! lmfao
stop referring to LeBron as "James" when you're arguing about him vs James Harden… its damn confusing!
So you are bad with speaking money/math, but are a avid gambler…dangerous combo
Wat happened to mia??
jordan was guarding Antwan jamison and antwan jamison dropped 37 points
This show is WAYYYYYYY better without Mia Khalifa.. She was soooo unnecessary and didn’t bring shit to the show
That Texas Tech jersey going brazy Pierce gahhh damn that shit fuegoooooo
Gilbert be having false information
This is the best show on Complex.
The fact everyday struggle gets more views then this is why the worlds fucked
Harden got snubbed almost every year he deserves this one
Harden MVP. No argument. Lebron Best Player in league. 2 Different things.
You guys should have a segment like everyday struggle where we can tweet questions
the mvp is gil's big toe
Damn a few weeks??? What will I do now!!?
gil basically said lonzo a bust, he need to give half of his contract for that smh
