I like how Paul got offended at the announcer getting the players mixed up in crooked arrows, even though they’re twins😂

I like how Paul said awkward celebration like he didn’t run into a wall when he played for the Zardz

Is Paul really diving deep into societal norms of an American Pie movie lol

finally GQ got lacrosse lets gooooo

People do know in crooked arrows the coach benched Lyle Thompson to put “Toby” in the game. Which is wild since he is easily one of the greatest to ever play.

As a goalie, that teen wolf goalies footwork hurt my to watch

As someone who has only ever come across lacrosse on US tv and film I found this really informative and loved the historical background and context. Excellent video.

Stifler is the iconic lax bro

I played Lax in College and briefly dated (probably too formal for it, hung out, maybe) with a girl who played Women's Lax. I went to a game to root for her once. I caught up with her afterwards and was like "I think you did well, but I have no idea what was happening." I hadn't previously watched Women's lacrosse and didn't realize it's almost a different sport entirely. Fun though. There should be a women's PLL .

most underrated sport of all time.

Fun fact in some Native American nations lacrosse is nicknamed the mini war. Because you could die/settle disputes playing the sport

Professionals who know the sport’s history, the film’s societal and historical context, the filmmaking process, and the technical side is a great selection.

Loved Paul’s comment about playing goalie. When I switched to goalie, I found my place on the field but also got exponentially better at every other position as well.

I was a goalie, so the first thing I noticed with Teen Wolf was how the guy’s form was not good, but then I remembered he had never played before, so it makes sense.

Yes I love the Pll

I play defense I take headshots all the time and never have I once been checked for concussions

Actually he isn’t being racist if you watch the movie they’re actually identical twins

Crooked arrows is an awesome movie and we need more lacrosse movies

love their banter. you can tell they are homies

Paul was trying too hard to give the PLL a good face

We see you Paul ✊🏾 glad he brought up the origins of the game and gave respect to the N.A

Great job guys, anything you post can help grow this amazing sport, don't listen to the haters.

In Crooked Arrows, the celly was a "smoke dance". It is another traditional native thing. Super fun but actually quite difficult to do, especially when competing at powwows!

I was waiting for this vid

Lacrosse looks like a lot of fun and I wish I had kept playing it. I stopped when I was younger cause of a negative season with a coach I was gonna be with for the next two years

I feel like every school has lacrosse but where I live lacrosse is literally not even in existence.

More lacrosse recognition I love it

Both were suprisingly insightful not only about lacrosse I always love watching rabil but whole episode was cool

Why is he trying so hard😂😂 Kyle is chillin but why paul😂

Can we talk about how in crooked arrows they benched lyle Thompson for Tobey?!

Yaaaaas I’ve been waiting for this

i have been waiting for one of these

It's crazy seeing a video like this pop up in my YT recommendations. Like for years now subconsciously whenever I saw lacrosse in TV or film I broke down if it's accurate or not and if they're playing good lacrosse. It's interesting to see how lacrosse scenes play out and to see if they're accurate because of just how niche the sport is. Like, if there's a basketball/football/baseball/hockey scene you can usually assume it's gonna be accurate given how widely known those sports are. Lacrosse is the opposite.

"Him walking out was a powerful moment" *Proceeds to sprint off the field

There was a little bit of old school lacrosse played in The Last of the Mohicans too.

I've been waiting for this one

Remember when Paul was in Crooked Arrows and he had no facial hair and long hair? 😂 😂 😂

Very Entertaining great job fellas!!

Man… I love this… super relatable guys… definitely was not aware of Lax movies existing… Black Lax Bro 👋🏾 ‘99-‘03.

This is awesome, finally

I'm late but I never knew what lacrosse was till my senior year. I thought "that looks fun" and somehow made the team. Kyle Harrison was my idol when he was at Johns Hopkins I used the watch the Paul rabil commercials all the time lol

Anyone else notice the guy with mad tilt on his bucky at 18:45

He is right about the hockey goalie like stance. We have our catcher glove typically our right hand (depending on your strong hand) and our stick and block glove (it’s called that because it is like a giant pad on top of a glove) and we would be in pretty much the same leg position to be ready to do a butterfly to stop incoming pucks on the ice (a butterfly is where we flex our legs into a certain position to use our giant leg pads that go over our knees, chins, and a little bit of the thigh above the knee). I know all this goalie stuff because I am in a hockey (and becoming a lacrosse family because I am right now a defender in Venetia, PA) and I used to be a goalie (at least I tried but didn’t really like it much because I don’t have flexible legs) so yeah.

Good video Good breakdown sports GQ awesome movies

Okay I NEED to see this with basketball and football players

Paul really is in his bag 💀😭💯

Idk about assuming the announcer is racist for not knowing the player little bit woke I respect you Paul because I think you have good intentions but you can’t go around assuming things are because of racism. I didn’t watch the movie so let me know if I’m wrong.

90s man! Some high schools didn’t have team or school names on the front and still don’t 😂

Oz leaving early was weak. If anyone on my team in high school would of bailed on us for a chick he just started dating I would of never thought of them the same. 4+ years of commitment thrown away for some girl you’ve been with for a week is terrible loyalty and dedication.

Paul tried wayyyy too hard

Love the breakdown video for lacrosse! Can we get some actual lacrosse players to act out the action scenes? Some pretty low quality lax here!

“Like hockey” hdhsjsbshsj “like hockey” shhshsh “just like hockey” 😂

No Last of The Mohicans??? Granted that scene was short.... But so classic I feel!

we have to wear goggles

There not allowed to do that anyway that’s assault 29:25

If teen wolf wasn’t on here I would have been very upset😂. Scott McCall is the 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🔥.

How about some comments on hand position when shooting?

nice personalities in these men

Ya Paul

The Grizzlies is the best movie of the bunch, and I hope Paul Rabil watches all of it.

As a defensive player on lacrosse, the moving screen had me *dying*

I just had lacrosse practice at Friends 😁

Paul is a pro athlete and still calls it a “karaoke” drill. Unless Paul is going to serenade us with his best rendition of “Nothing but a good time” by Poison, let’s call it by the right name. It’s “Carioca”.

Aha I started playing goalie similarly... not as abusive but low key forced but luckily I loved it

should have included Kann es Johhanes Lacrosse I was in that.

Breakdown...Lacrosse ... must be new hosts for @colinandsamir!!

I’d argue in my school the girl’s and boy’s lacrosse teams are pretty close. We each get half the field, but at the end of practice we would have everyone, boys and girls around the 8 fan, and play 3v3s within the 8 and we have boys and girls just lined up all over the 8 going in and out watching

lmao at some of these lacrosse players in the comments roasting them a little. and also lmao at that american pie dissertation

Paul really taking one for the team and bending over all the way to his toes to get the left on the PLL’s side

29:24 "Not aloud to do that either, that's assault" - Paul Rabil

Sick video

This video makes me miss college

crooked arrows is goated

There’s a girl on my lacrosse team that’s really good at roll dodges. She usually plays midi and when she gets possession of the ball we all know she’s gonna finesse the other teams defense

Crooked arrows was definitely the best in terms of gameplay by far.

How many times did Paul bring race into this. I heard him say “natives” like 80 times

25:00 my coach makes us do this all the time. whenever somebody gets a highlight on someone else in practice, he gives them a chance to get back. however, never like this, we do it correctly.

This is sick

Paul no goalies get checked for concussions after taking a shot to the face 😂

2:19 my lacrosse team hears that every game paul.

Crooked Arrows is one of my fav sports movies

That Mean Girls scene gave me anxiety

Nice Paul...

I didn't know there were any movies about Lacrosse

The adult looking guy in the huddle looks a little like Edward Norton Jr.

I like GQ lacrosse

Would love to see a video with women's lacrosse players commentating but I get that there are barely any movies or shows with women's lacrosse.

In Women's Lacrosse in New Zealand, we're not allowed to play if we don't have a mouthguard and a mask/goggles.

One thing about the girls scene, no one at a high school level would cradle that low and that loosely. That was just asking to be trailed

This is so sick

Seems like these are all a little old and not very accurate representation of lacrosse would love to see a newer version that greatly depicts lacrosse. Let’s make it happen and it’ll help grow the game!!!

Just a heads up I’ve sent my goalie in the back of the cage once in middle school

You missed one!!!! The lacrosse scenes in Wild Child were good scenes

The grizzlies is based of a true story now there are a bit that is added. And I l ow who made the movie and a bunch of the players that were on the other teams like the guy that did the btb and a bunch of other people. If you look at the cast it will say I think 3 Rai’s 2 Wilson’s and a couple of other people but they weren’t main actors

just a little back round info on the crooked arrows clip being "racist" if I recall correctly there was a pair of twins on the team and that line was meant to showcase tha, and not how native people "look similar because of braids". Also I believe the broadcaster messing that up was to show how bad/unrecognized the team was at that point in the movie. I agree that thist scene did not age well in todays social climate and was a poor choice of lines, but with full context it is apparent that this was not intended to be a racist or culturally assumed remark

I get hit in the face a lot by the ball and the ref never stopped the game😭

When the goalie took a shot to the helmet and fell ,my team’s goalie actually took a shot to the head and it made him fall just like the teen wolf goalie

Yessssd

Yo I’m down to be in a Lacrosse movie or TV show. I’m also down to sit on the PLL bench Paul just hmu 👍🏽

I am literally Toby.
