Fourteen year NBA veteran Kendall Gill will announce his intentions to make his professional boxing debut this summer during a press conference and workout this Friday morning at 11AM at JABB Boxing Gym located at 410 N. Oakley, near the intersection of Grand and Western on Chicago's near northwest side.

Prior to speaking to the press and answering questions, the Chicago native and University of Illinois grad will show off his solid boxing skills by shadowboxing, working the mitts and hitting the speedbag.

Gill has been training at JABB for the last 18 months and says he is in the best shape of his life. "I'm taking this very seriously just like the professional approach I brought to my career in the NBA."

Said Dominic Pesoli, owner of JABB Boxing Gym, "He's been very serious about this. He wants to make his pro debut this summer and the press conference and workout is a great way to show off his skills."
------------
I've seen Gill play basketball, and he's good. Him being 37 years old isn't a good thing for his debut.

Gill as a journeyman ball player and he's going to be a journeyman fighter.

I remember when he was on an episode of the Nickelodeon show My Brother and Me....his acting wasn't that great, but what sports players acting is?

he is gona get KO'd against a live opponent

i remember gill was a monster in nba2k2

I hope he does good, I've always like Gill, He will be HW right?

Kendell Gill was good in the NBA and in college Baksetball he played for the Illini on teh Illini Final Four Team in 1988. The guy must be pretty old.

He's one of the better defenders of the last 15 years to come through the NBA. He was sick in college...

Kendall is about what, 6'5? Which means he'll be a HW or extremely tall cruiser. He'll be KTFO against anyone who can punch.

Good point. Roy Jones was abysmal on Married...With Children.

Gill's gotta be about 36-37 already. A little late for boxing. He was a decent player in his prime.

i thought i was the only one on the planet who remembered that

thats actually how i heard of him, but the reality is, when he was with the sonics, he was a decent player, not exactly journeyman early in his career

...Yeah a gay version of Sanders maybe. Didn't Gil have some mental issues? If he did then boxing is definitely no place for the mentaly weak and he is gonna be in big trouble.

here he is at the jabb boxing site.

Yup, he will have to learn the hard way that boxing ain't no game. :cool:

Wtf? When was he on that show?

Gill's gonna get murdered.. Hey, maybe he can jump over the guy, or something?

An enormous Deion. Speaking of Deion, I think he might have made a decent boxer. He would've had no power, but he could have moved faster than 90% of the guys in the ring. He had a glass jaw, too.

Wtf? When was he on that show?




It was during the ninth season, ill see if i can upload it. he flubs a line on the show too. you think they'd redo the take, but whatever.

Did you know that James Toney knocked Deion out in highschool?

Funny argument over "who got top bunk went bad"

Oh yes Kendal Gil had mental problems, he was diagnosed with clinical depression.

I am from Seattle and got a chance to see Gil up close...he played for the 93-94 team that won 63 regualr season games and lost in the fisrt round to the Nuggets...it still hurts to this day...

Anyway, Gil was always complaining...he was a pretty selfish player with Seattle but I will say the guy had all of the ability in the world...he was as good at creating his own shot as anyone around the problem with Kendal was his finishing skills.


Should be fun to watch his 6'6" frame fall to the canvas.

IF THATS TRUE THEN THATS F'N FUNNY

IF THATS TRUE THEN THATS F'N FUNNY


ya James Toney was trying to make the college football and so they both went out to a recruitment camp, when they got to the dorm and had to decide the beds that when it went down

Toney got kicked out, couldn't get a college scholorship for football, turned to boxing pro.

Good for us, bad for Deion.

MY BOY DEION GOT DROPPED BY TONEY , NO SHAME IN THAT. BUT UR TELLING ME WITH DEIONS 4.2 SPEED HE COULDNT RUN AWAY :boxing:

Indeed. Imagine if he HAD gotten the scholarship, and was playing football instead. Man, we would have missed on one of the best boxers ever.

How injury prone he is, it's better that he went to boxing instead of football.

It was in the tenth season.

Deion was afriad to tackle, what makes anyone think he would have the balls to even consider stepping into a ring? My fave Deion memory was when he went left SF and was talking all that **** about how he was going to brun Rice when they met up, then got burnt on every single play. He as much faster than Jerry, but Jerry was much quicker.

...Yeah, being a Cowboy fan I don't remember any time that Rice burnt Deion maybe more than once in the same game. There was never a better cover corner in the history of the NFL than Deion. BTW, Rice was the best receiver ever. As if I needed to say that.

how do you kno he aint good, people need to reserve judgment, just cuz he played ball dont mean he cant fight, its just ignorant to say he will get KTFO and youve never seen him box.

he's too old.

If he attempts to work his way to a title he won't get there before he is 40,

and that's George Foreman territory.

Okay well maybe he'll do fine is that alright with you mommy? I can say whatever I want...

Did you know that one of the most overused words that people use when trying to sound intelligent is "ignorant".

Umm...I want Shaq to try boxing...

Imagine Shaq vs. Tyson, the ratings for that. I'd love to see Shaq get knocked out by Mike.

Go Heat. Cause I like Miami b/c of Miami Vice.

man if any nba player should be boxing it should be JERRY STACKHOUSE read up on him..hes like 3-0 in the nba

beat up (jazz) hornacek

deion got ko'd by toney

you should really read the threads, instead of just post on them.

u can say whatever you want, im just sayin u dont kno if he has skills or not, it like sayin i would KNock u the F out, i dont even kno you.

Every time I see this thread I can't help but think about Ed "Too Tall" Jones and his abortive attempt at a boxing career. 6-0 5KOs, but he never fought anyone. He was a MONSTER at the time, though. 6' 9"ish, 260ish.

u can say whatever you want, im just sayin u dont kno if he has skills or not, it like sayin i would KNock u the F out, i dont even kno you.


if you guys are still talking about Kendall Gill, he is 37, will likely be a heavyweight, and will get his jaw smashed if he fights any guy with a decent punch.
