How do you pronounce Gist's name?

[phyzik]

I'm having an arguement with a friend. He seems to believe you should pronounce Gist with a hard G, Like the word Going.

I believe it's pronounced "Jist" as in a soft G.

Whats the proper way to pronounce his name?

I think your friend's got it right. Sorry.

[doobs]

I don't see the difference between a hard and a soft G.

[mudyez]

never thought about it, and always did it wrong (also usded the soft "G") too

[phyzik]

I don't see the difference between a hard and a soft G.

Hard G is used in words such as "good" or "go".

a Soft G is used in words such as, similar to James last name, Gist. the Gist of things. The G is used more like a J. Example, and the reason I pronounced it as "Jist"

I think you pronounce it as if it were an "O" as in overhyped, overrated, etc.

James pronounces it at about the 1:15-17 mark of the video above. I always thought it was pronounced with a soft G but it's a hard G.

Yeah we think the same way on occasion. Considering our disagreements, that's kind of shocking. If we're keeping score, I think the above ties us at three apiece.

In Italy, it's pronounced Spaghisti

Apparently we share the same poor taste in humor. That's cool.

I'm not positive, but you might be up 1. That was a while ago. But, it happened like a couple times within a few days or maybe a few weeks or something...

You pronounce it "not NBA worthy"
