Former NBA star, NCAA Champion, and Gil's Arena co-host Rashad McCants pulls up to The Underground Lounge for one of his most honest and unfiltered conversations yet.

Rashad opens up about the highs and lows of his basketball journey, dealing with the pressure of expectations, the injuries that changed the trajectory of his NBA career, and the accountability it took to find peace after the game. He also shares what led him into sports media, why former players are changing the basketball conversation, and how Gil's Arena became one of the biggest sports shows in the game.

One of the biggest conversations of the episode centers around the current state of Gil's Arena. Rashad addresses the questions fans have been asking, discusses the show's evolution, working alongside Skip Bayless, Gilbert Arenas' role moving forward, and clears up some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding everything happening behind the scenes.

Lou Williams, Spank Horton, and Rashad also dive into competing against legends like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, life after basketball, navigating politics in the NBA, the importance of controlling your own narrative, sports media, and why independent voices continue to reshape the culture.

As always, the laughs are nonstop, the stories are real, and no topic is off limits in the Lounge.


Step into The Underground Lounge, hosted by Lou Williams and Spank Horton, for a conversation that feels more like a late-night hangout than a produced show. This podcast thrives in the spaces between categories, blending comedy, sports commentary, cultural news, and unfiltered entertainment into one seamless flow. The vibe is authentic and direct, prioritizing genuine dialogue over polished takes. You'll hear discussions that dive deep into hip-hop, dissect the latest games, and unpack current events, all with a perspective that bypasses the usual industry filters and corporate talking points. Each episode brings a raw and thought-provoking energy, whether the hosts are riffing solo or engaging with guests who match their real-talk approach. Tune in for the kind of wide-ranging, entertaining conversations that happen when the mics are on but the formalities are left at the door. The Underground Lounge is where the lines between comedy, sports, news, and entertainment blur into something uniquely compelling, offering listeners a consistent dose of unfiltered opinion and authentic connection. This is a production of THEORY COMMUNICATIONS.
