Philly legends Gillie and Wallo have advice for Sixers star Paul George
Philly legends Gillie and Wallo have advice for Sixers star Paul George It's no secret that Paul George had a tough first season with the Philadelphia 76ers. After signing a 4-year $212 million deal with the Sixers in the offseason, George only played 41 games due to injury and averaged 16.2 points while shooting only 43% from the floor. Those are not numbers normally associated with George. As George looks to move forward in the 2025 offseason, he knows there's work to be done. He and the Sixers expect more and he has to be able to find a way to bounce back and get back to the production that made him a 9-time All-Star. On the latest episode of "Podcast P with Paul George", George had Philadelphia legends Gillie and Wallo--hosts of the "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" podcast--on and the two of them gave him some advice on how to handle Philadelphia and their expectations for him: I represent the real Philadelphia fan. We (expletive) frustrated, bro. It's not like we don't got the talent. We have the talent. It's like we can't even get everybody on the court together, man. Philadelphia, we like to see effort. Allen Iverson didn't win (expletive). He will always be the GOAT around this (expletive) because he put in 100% effort. He left everything on the floor. Brian Dawkins, never won (expletive) around here. He will always be a GOAT, because our eyes, look at Brian Dawkins and said, he gives a maximum (expletive) effort every single time, every snap, every snap. Jason Kelce, same thing that you be like 'Why are they GOATs?' When we watched them, we watched him give up maximum effort and put their (expletive) life on the line. And we (expletive) respect that. We are a hard working (expletive) city that ain't got (expletive) bro. You gotta understand, when the Eagles lose, it feels like your (expletive) cousin died, bro, like, not like, like first cousin second, like a third cousin died. Like, just seen at the cookouts a couple times. But, you know he your cousin, right? So when he die, you might not be crying, but you like, dang, we a (expletive) poor city, bro. Everybody, (expletive) house touch, man. If we in the crib arguing with his (expletive), you hear everything. The sports for us is everything that's just like an escape. Gillie then threw down his own expectation of George to which George had an answer ready to go: Gillie: To be real. I gave you a pass this year. This year? You gotta go stupid, bro. George: Nah, nah. 100%. The most frustrating thing about the last season was, obviously, I came in I was healthy. I didn't have no hiccups. I spent the whole off season working on my body, getting healthy, and then I get to Philly preseason, I get hurt, and from that point on, like, I didn't give it full time to heal. I got an expectation. I'm not gonna leave them hanging. I wanna go out there and play. I'm out there and it's like, 'Damn' like, I know something ain't right. Obviously, the hyperextension—my knee was still bothering me. I had the brace for a long time from the brace, I started to develop the quad tendon injury. Then I had an injury that I didn't even know, and this was the original of why I was feeling like something's off, come to find out I had a torn adduct, and the whole time, it's just like people, like the Philly fans, can be rough on you. I was cool with it because it again, at the end of the day, it's an expectation that they hold, and I respect that. I'm not one that's gonna shy away from that. I want that heat. You know what I mean? I want that pressure. It just was unfortunate that, like, 'Man, I can't give them everything I got,' and I ain't here for no excuses I didn't hold up to my bargain right but I do know, and I have learned what I need to go and do going forward. George is still one of the better players in this league when he's healthy. He can do a lot of good things out on the floor and the Sixers will need him on the floor going forward. The chemistry will grow between him, Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey as long as they play together and get things done.

Rapper Gillie Da Kid claims 17-Year-Old Noah Scurry killed his son before being shot dead
Philadelphia rapper Gillie Da Kid says police told him that 17-year-old basketball star Noah Scurry was responsible for his son Devin Spady's (YNG Cheese) murder before Scurry was killed in a separate shooting. Scurry was shot 17 times on January 14, 2025, while walking with his mother in Philadelphia. Police linked him to the July 2023 murder of Spady, 25, but he was killed before an arrest could be made. "The only reason I knew is because the police called me and told me once he was murdered," Gillie told Shannon Sharpe. He added that police had planned to charge Scurry, but his death prevented them from moving forward. 'The kid had just got shot 17 times—he was walking with his mom and got murdered. Then the police notified me and let me know that he was one of the kids that was pretty much about to get locked up for the murder, but he got murdered first.' "These kids are influenced by all the wrong things. ... These kids actually think that you can't make it as a rapper unless you k*lled somebody. This is the mindset" - — Club Shay Shay (@ClubShayShay) Gillie described Scurry's killing as "divine justice." "He had to deal with God, that's how I look at it." Authorities have not publicly confirmed Scurry's involvement in Spady's death. Investigations into both murders are ongoing. Gillie, born Nasir Fard, is a rapper and podcast host known for his work in Major Figgas and claims of ghostwriting for Lil Wayne. He co-hosts the popular Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast and has been outspoken about gun violence in Philadelphia following his son's death.

Gillie Da Kid says police told him Noah Scurry killed his son YNG Cheese
The Brief Gillie Da Kid made a connection between his son's murder and a recent Philly teen's murder while on Club Shay Shay Wednesday. In the interview, Gillie says police told him Noah Scurry was Gillie's son's killer. FOX 29 has yet to confirm the alleged connection with the Philadelphia Police Department. PHILADELPHIA - Gillie Da Kid says police informed him of a connection between the murder of his son, Devin Spady, nearly two years ago, and a local high school basketball star, Noah Scurry, who was recently killed. Gillie revealed that though his son was killed in the shooting, the deadly shots were not intended for him. Timeline Devin Spady, who went by YNG Cheese, the son of Philadelphia rapper Gillie Da Kid, was killed in a triple shooting in Olney back in July 2023. The 25-year-old was shot to death and two other men were hurt when investigators say gunshots erupted on the 5800 block of Mascher Street. Police have not reported any arrests in the deadly triple shooting. In mid-January 2025, 17-year-old Noah Scurry was shot to death outside his home, in front of his mother. Philadelphia Police say Scurry was shot and killed in what appeared to be a targeted shooting around 7 a.m. January 14, in an alleyway behind Rohrer Street. Approximately 20 shots were fired. Philadelphia School District spokesperson Monique Braxton described Scurry as a star student-athlete, and said the principal, basketball coach, and school community were devastated. In a letter sent home to the school's families, the principal stated that Scurry recently scored the highest on the SAT College Placement tests in the school community. At the time, police confirmed they believed that a white Jeep Cherokee was used in the shooting. Investigators believed at least two shooters jumped out of the vehicle. A third person might have been driving the car. Sources tell FOX 29 that Scurry was a victim in a previous shooting back in May 2023 on the 4600 block of Mulberry Street. A man in his 60s was killed in that shooting. Philadelphia Police have not publicly stated any details on why they believe Scurry was targeted. They have not released a motive, or description of any suspect(s). They have not commented on Scurry's past or alleged social media presence. What we know In an interview on Shannon Sharpe's talk show, Club Shay Shay Wednesday, Philadelphia native Gillie Da Kid spoke out about his son's murder. What they're saying In the interview, Sharpe asks Gillie, "Have you talked to the kid that took your son's life?" 'Nah I never met him," Gillie replied. "Only reason I knew is because the police called me and told me once he was murdered. Cause the kid had just got shot 17 times he was walking with his mom and he got murdered and then the police notified me and let me know that he was one of the kids that was pretty much about to get locked up for the murder, but he got murdered first." "He had to deal with God, that's how I look at it," Gillie continued. Minutes later, as the two continued their discussion on gun violence and crime in Philadelphia, Sharpe mentioned he heard about 17-year-old Noah Scurry, the star student-athlete who was recently shot to death outside his home, in front of his mother, as she was getting ready to take him to Samuel Fels High School. Gillie then says, 'that's who killed my son.' 'The 17 teen-?" Sharpe asks. Gillie nods and says, "Yeah. The 17-year-old basketball player that just got shot 17 times. That's who killed my son." Gillie continued on to say the fatal gunshots were not meant for his son. "He just happened to be at the wrong place, at the wrong time," Gillie said. What we don't know The Philadelphia Police Department has yet to confirm the connection between Scurry and Spady to FOX 29.
