Irony is thinking that athleticism makes better defenders.


It does though

You can be the most fundamentally sound there is but if your athleticism doesn’t play you don’t play

It can be and advantage, sure, but without effort and training, you won’t be a good defender no matter how athletic you are.

These players are lazy, and it has shown with the product put on the court. They even get zone now which helps them have to put in less effort, and still whine.

In the end, it is one part of it, but is a typical excuse when these types of players begin to dominate the league.

He didn’t seem to say anything like this when Harden was the MVP candidate and is the epitome of a horrid defender.

Say what you really mean Gilbert. Your dusty arse couldn't play in today's league.


Arenas is an idiot and for sure is a badusty arse biotch, but he’d have been a star in this league. That dude could fill it. Was one of the best high volume shooters of his era.

He was wildly inefficient for his career. This is a joke. His career ts% is like 52%. Even his best years wouldn't touch top 10 numbers in any category this year.

Replace that headline with "Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic says get rid of all the africans to make the NBA better"


It definitely would be a bigger story if current all-stars said it compared to a former player that retired 10 years ago.

I've seen this before.


If you can't beat them,ban them.


Arenas wants affirmative action for the NBA.

"European" is code for generally white players in Gilbert's tiny mind.

euroleague is 100% more physical. it's why americans struggle in international competitions because it takes a bit to get used to not foul baiting.

According Wikipedia the American national team is 346-40 in international competition and 122-26 against European countries.

Where’s the struggle?

Gilbert likes to say edgy shite all the time because he knows his black privilege allows him to get away with it.

He says this because the Euros come in ready to play and have better fundamentals.

AAU has ruined the American game.

Sounds racist to me. Why isn't the media all over it?

Oh wait, it doesn't fit the media's agenda.
