Gilbert Arenas on LeBron James: "He's not a No. 1 option"

[JohnnyMax]

KINGJAMES.....this person comes around once in a blue moon...a man whos so physically gifted he could walk into any sport and be a HOF'ER off his natural (God given ability) last person who was this gifted in sports might have been #BOJackson...LET'S take away EVERY STAT and start from scratch..

#NATURAL gifts...6-8..275..44 inch vert...once at top speed can't be stopped...vision like magic johnson..a natural #LEFTY who plays basketball as a righty....him stepping on a nba floor with no effort stats are 25 6 7...

now his WEAKNESSES he had to work on to be the G.O.A.T...James is more like a train then a cheetah in movement.. his first 2 steps aren't very powerful so this hurt him on iso's and the ability to blow pass players from standstill position...hints why he's at the point he needs to be moving at all time so when he decides to attack he's already in full motion...he doesnt change direction well becuz he doesn't bend much he plays str8 up and down like #jkidd did which limits him from cross overs and spinning...

James isn't a #1 option..and yes I (didn't stutter) he lacks #selfishness so he will always need a go to guy like wade was or kyrie.. he lacks what jordan and kobe were..great 1 on 1 players... he needs a pure scorer beside him so he can carry the TEAM load...he gets bashed alot by media becuz he doesn't take over like #MJ or #KB but #LBJ is MAGIC with Jordan like athleticism..so he walks into stats without trying and when forced he will give u 41 12 8...the finals was the first time in his career he was physically pushed to the limit becuz he had no one to defur to...when players like magic,Barkley and analysis bash him I cringe...like u ppl have no idea what he could do if he had (1) season just 1 selfish season like kobe did in 2005-06 he will avg 40+ 11 9 and no one could do shit about it...it's sad the world wont get to see Who I'm talking about becuz his legacy is built on winning...if u doubt what I'm saying..look at every game he was pissed off and was challenged....this man could be the second best 3rd for sure player to ever play when it's all said and done around 2020+and he didn't even tap into his ability to be GREATEST..

LeBron needed Wade more than Wade needed LeBron. Wade was a gritty player who would make miraculous and ridiculous plays and his annoying floaters that were impossible to contest. Wade had championship ZEAL. LeBron James just has the name.

Today, nobody is talking about "How can Wade win another championship". His contribution is overshadowed. Hell, everyone's contribution is overshadowed. Wade was a fierce superstar player. A champions grit and he had already won one 6 years prior to LeBron. Bosh was the one being fed by the combination of Wade and LeBron. He was easily replaceable.


Still to this day, I don't think he'll win another unless he teams up with someone with championship grit and zeal like Curry or and organization like, YOURS TRULY.

LeBron won't dare come out to the rest into a hopeless organization in which he'll have to lead the team. I don't see it. The competition is fierce.

The Thunder, Clippers, Rockets, Spurs, Grizzlies, Warriors....real heavy competition..standing in his way in the east.

The days of Detroit, Indy, Boston, Orlando, Miami, is set in the east. Too much youth in the east waiting to blossom; some may never do so.

Who the F is Gilbert Arenas?

[Mark Celibate]

My nigga Gilbert speaks the hard truth tbh there's a reason people call him Lebeta. The great satan Lebron always needs an alpha covering his ass otherwise he ain't gonna do shit.

[spurraider21]

gilbert was one of my favorite players in the league before he got hurt. wasn't the most efficient player, but he was fun to watch. he had jimmer range

[Mark Celibate]

He's always been one of my favorite players tbh even after he got hurt. Dude had the potential to make the top 10 all time scoring list too bad the horrible injury robbed him of the ticket to HOF.

[Down Under]

It's a compliment

[ribcage6foot6]

I wonder what DeShawn Stevenson has to say about all of this.

[hater]

truth nukes by Agent 0 IMO

[Reck]

Kobe only had 1 selfish season? :lol

[JoeTait75]

It's a compliment

Agreed. I thought it was a fair and mostly complimentary take by Arenas, tbh.

No, unless you think "need" has nothing to do with winning a championship.

LOL @ OP needing to proof read by adding paragraphs

[Raven]

one of the most overrated players in history and truly a shame for the game.

& if not for Amy Duncan would have 1.

[AlexJones]

Gilbert Arenas?

[Spurs9]

:lol at some of his other posts

[tatteredprince]

Lebron James LACKS SOMETHING

call it maturity, or humility, or compassion, or equanimity......or any other better term

but he lacks something.....only the very best observers can detect it

athleticism is not enough to be the greatest

[tatteredprince]

what Lebron James lacks, Bill Russell, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili have in abundance....

to Arenas: read more WISDOM books young boy...and you will learn more

[Fabbs]

:lol Gilbert Arenas playoff record and stats.

[Thread]

Both LeBron & myself are two lucky motherfuckers that Amy got a bee in her bonnet. Otherwise, I'd be up to my ass in alligators and James would have just 1.

[spurraider21]

that he was.

One of the biggest chuckers to ever chuck.

tbh

also, zero humility and dumb as a rock (pulling a gun on your teammate :lol)

[HemisfairArena]

All you can do is laugh when someone says things like this,,,,

Lebron's biggest problem (by far) is that he plays in the most media-driven era in NBA history, tbh..unfortunately, there's still a lot of old heads that are still hanging on to their demographic with their antiquated narratives, mostly the side of the media that downplayed the Warriors all year..

You can recognize them by phrases of this type:

"He has that killer instinct"
"He knows how to win"
"He willed his team to victory"
"Oakley would have knocked him on his ass"
"That team needs an enforcer"
