More on this storyline
Gilbert Arenas on Luka Doncic: He is going to be the third person in NBA history to average a triple-double for a season. Just think about the upside of the player, we're talking about a guy who's still in amateur mode, he's in amateur mode at 25. He's not in his prime, he's not even in the second phase of being good, he's still in trying to figure this sh*t out, this is just all just actual reaction, this is not studying the game this is not dictating the game. He's not in that mode yet, this is just him, just his natural ability. -via YouTube / March 6, 2025
Gilbert Arenas: There's only a few people in the GOAT debate. You’ve got to understand what a debate is. If there's a number one, whoever number two is, unless he's an active player, he's not part of the GOAT debate because he has nothing else to gain. So if he didn't overtake the person then he's out actually out of the conversation. So there's only a few people that's still in the running for a debate: It'll be LeBron James, it'll be Stephen Curry, it'll be Kevin Durant, it'll be Giannis Antetokounmpo, it'll be Nikola Jokic, right? They're active. So because they're active they're still chasing something. Once you retire, if you didn't do what you were supposed to, you can be part of a debate no more. -via YouTube / March 4, 2025
