let me move on to Steph Curry because we got to get to this because former NBA Allstar Gilbert Arenas raised some eyebrows this weekend over his comments about the baby face assassin listen to what Gilbert Arena said on his podcast Gils Arena saying that Curry is not a generational Talent here’s what arena had to say specifically look at this quote Steph is not a generational Talent generational infers you can mimic it can you mimic Magic Johnson a 69ine point guard with vision you can’t mimic LeBron James it’s about physical attributes you can’t mimic Victor wiana joic is not a generational Talent Curry is a great basketball player generational is something that that’s once every 20 years when it comes you’re like damn I love gilber Arenas Lov his podcast brother knows basketball I thought he I think he lost his damn mind on this one when have you seen a shooter like Steph Curry In Our Lifetime I’ve been on Earth 56 years give Arenas is in his 30s I think talk to Shooters everywhere when have you seen somebody like Steph Curry off the dribble standing still 20 30 40 50 feet on the Move stationary spot up jump shot floaters in the lane floats from 30 feet left side right side side top of the key rightwing left wing it doesn’t matter and the ability to create his own shadow catch a shoot Steph gy is the greatest shooter God has ever created what do you mean mimic who who is this person Reggie Miller Allen Houston Ricky piss Dale Ellis Dell Curry his daddy Andrew Tony Pete Maravich that’s where we goingon to go Rick Barry what we going to do what you talking about Gil Gil Arenas what are you talking about and by the way I’ve seen plenty of dudes 69ine and built like LeBron they didn’t have his game but they had his body you can’t see the wom yanas of the world Yao Ming was 76 Shan Bradley was 74 they just didn’t have his game what you talking about I ain’t see nobody that can shoot like Steph Curry that is a generational Talent it’s the greatest shooter God ever created Magic Johnson I’ve seen plenty of dudes 69ine built like Magic Johnson they a have his game who’s got Steph Curry’s game who’s this person I want to meet him never seen him I ain’t never seen nobody 63 that can shoot like that that has Brothers depressed when he pulls up and they fail to block his shot from 30 35 ft from the basket they barely look at The Rim they’re like damn he got it off it’s going in he’s the greatest shooter God ever created in warm-ups he runs up the stairs and shoots from the tunnel before R Racing into the locker room that’s how great he is this is Steph Curry we talking about so respectfully I don’t know what the hell Gilbert Arenas is talking about but I’ll listen to other people speak about it go ahead and play it fellas butt crack Sports says Stephen Curry is a top five NBA player of all time no he tripping on that he hasn’t cracked my top 10 yet he just hasn’t I think Steph has had a phenomenal career I mean obviously four championships two leagues MVPs he has a final MVP but if you go back in his career and if you look at when hey Draymond is out of the lineup for the season if you look at Klay Thompson has missed a season or half of that season to me if you’re that great if you’re going to be a top five and one of your guys are missing you can’t make the playoffs I can’t put you in top five or top 10 I I I just can’t and that’s just my opinion greatness to me is when one of your guys are out you still got to elevate your team team at least to the playoffs like they don’t even make the playoffs when clay or Draymond is out of the lineups and they haven’t won a play end game at all so in top five no chance now that makes sense when you think about guys LeBron MJ Kareem Abdul Jabar uh you know the Elijah wans of the world that Shaquille o’neals of the world people like that Kobe of course sure you can make an argument to push Steph Curry out the top five fine I’m not going to knock tmac for that because again when clay was out Golden State didn’t resemble itself when draymond’s been out Golden State didn’t resemble himself I got that part so Steph might need more as a 6-3 shooter extraordinaire but don’t tell me he ain’t a generational Talent that’s going too far I can’t believe that came out of Gilbert aras’s mouth I don’t just I don’t agree with him on that one brother know basketball though ain’t no shade this way got love for Gil I’m just saying that particular take nah I’m not vibing with that bro I gotta disagree with that

  1. Stephen A , I think your not understanding. You say all the time he is the best shooter god ever created , THATS NOT GENERATIONAL, that’s once in a lifetime. People can TRY to be curry and do curry things , but they CANT be curry and it will NEVER be another

  2. He did lost his mind don't like Gilbert he's very ignorant don't really know what he be talking about I agree Stephen A

  3. The objective of basketball is to get the ball into the hoop, not sure who else does it better that’s alive now?

  4. First time I have 100 PERCENT, agreed with Stephen A. Saying Steph ain't an amazing player and a generational talent, that's just asinine. Dude literally single-handedly changed the modern NBA. Insane.

  5. Steph is the best I have seen and he is the best player for me 💙💛💙💛💙

  6. The craziest thing for me about curry is that not only was he ahead of the curve by being an amazing 3pt shooter, but that he makes circus shots that a lot of players wouldnt even DARE to try in PRACTICE.

  7. Gil will speak facts , SOMETIMES , but then when it comes to a player he’s jealous of,oh boy you’ll be able to tell, hell starts saying some dumb remarks and revert into his selfish thug “I’m the best “ persona

  8. Arenas only looking to create buzz with his podcast. His definition of generational is all about physical attributes. He has a very unique definition of generational talent. By his definition, Jordan, Kobe, Curry none of them are generational talent. Who can copy Kobe, Jordan, curry. Cmon man, u don't need to do that, your podcast is good enough, you don't need to do that to generate buzz.

  9. Physical stature and athleticism can actually be mimicked. And you can also become a wicked good shooter. By Gil’s definition technically nobody is. Wemby might be the only exception.

  10. Gil means that Steph is not a born shooter, but rather has worked very hard to be the best.

    Generational talent, no
    Generational skill, yes.
