How Good Was Gilbert Arenas Actually? 

Gilbert is not shy about how good he was... but Richard Jefferson is basically confirming that what Gilbert says is true.

Richard Jefferson is also known as a little bit of a hater. Makes me think that RJ may have been the victim of a few of Gilbert's infamous pranks. But he also clearly respected GA's game.

🤣🤣🤣

@@ignoblesavage5559 y’all need to understand the difference between competitive shit talk and being a hater.

@@ignoblesavage5559 RJ and Gil are close friends. RJ was playing but also serious because Gil will tell you just how good he was and he doesn't even have to exaggerate.

In the locker room too

He was always killed in the first round too

@@LoL-gu4cl I always love how people with no skill of their own bags on people that was one of the best in the world at the time at their craft. Sure he was no Jordan or Kobe, alot of "Greats" u can name over him. He didn't make it out of the 1st round in the "NBA Playoffs" u say, u didn't make it out of your 1st practice in high school. I'll take his career over yours all day & I don't know you at all or what u do but that's the point lmao. Made alot of $$ doin somethin he loved & was really good at it. Guess he should've bagged groceries instead.

@@thetruth8182 ok 👍

@@kvngof0634 Bruh 😭😭

He was never even close to a rival of Kobe, he was a challenge to Kobe but far from a rival.

They couldn't get over the cavs.

@@user-ou5pm6gn9j I’m sure Kobe took it personal for the rest of Gilbert’s career when he dropped 60 on him. I’m sure in Kobe’s eyes he was a rival.

Nah ur a nut hugger. Kobe was great but he was just an allstar with shaq on his team in a great franchise. Quit nut hugging kobe I saw him out played many time by other players let alone his team. Ur probably like 14

​@@user-ou5pm6gn9jnigga torched the lakers for 60 pretty sure kobe took him for a rival.

Same

Me too

My favorite till this day.

I really wanna see them go back to blue and gold

@@eski_truv those were good too

Well, that's life. I mean at least he got paid handsomely. IT never had the chance. He got used by Boston and spitted out when he's no longer of any use to them. But I think even if he wasn't injured he may have been out of the NBA because of his off court antics. I mean he nearly shot someone.

@@romeomonteverde that was one incident. If Jarvis wasn't there then he'd probably still be a wizard. Tho he'd still be a shell of who he was

@@romeomonteverde I'm mean kinda a homer when it comes to DC but Gilbert was just Gilbert. Yes he did bring guns into a locker room but Jarvis is who took it to where it went. Even with that I never saw Gilbert as anything more the a dude who was trying to have fun. There wasn't any real ill when Gilbert brought in guns. Especially when dude said he'd shoot him. That's why gilbert tried to give him one of his own. Yes it was in poor taste but, it's not like john wall who had a "thug" label coming into DC. I dont believe many people saw Gilbert like they did John. Even after the gun incident. Because he never had a history of it. It was all just a bad joke.

His prime was short. He was old by age 28. But he was a beast for a while

He was not lightning quick. Lmao.

😂😂😂

...and, the answer was always "yes", too many times! 😁

yep! And to add to that, the HS coach at his 1st school said he'd never play varsity, which was another reason he started training like crazy.

THE best one. He changed the perception and ushered the new era. Some goofy injury messed up his growth

@@realjcoop182 I love Agent zero one of my favorite players of all time...not better than A.I or a prime penny also Nash could be considered a scoring pg and he's better than Arenas as well.....and Curry is better than all of them.

@@gabrielcurry457 Nash was not a scoring guard lol. He was a pass first point, but your final statement was correct.

At one point he was very briefly

Lol where he at on the list?

Crazy other bull really locked up now

Why don't other races behave like us consistently?

Westbrook?

​@@jordansmith6600 prime arenus > prime westbrook

Olden Polynice.

Robert Parrish of the Boston Celtics back in the Larry Bird days. Parrish was their centre and he was darn good too.

Orlando Woolridge

And he beat Kobe!

He dropped 60 on Kobe

Kobe just had better teammate

@@michaelkkrasting Big Balls

@@user-bm9cv9vn2k nuts 😜

The disrespect 😂 bro made it to the league he had to be tough

Stylistically they were very different. Gil was lightning fast and strong. Gil was more explosive and required less dribbles to get his shot off or to get where he wanted to be on the court. Also Gil could play off the ball you could play him with Antonio Daniels or Steve Blake being the primary ball handler. They were similar in how they drew fouls though.

Everyone already know that, top 20 players of all time

He stated it was during practice. He left due to being late and came back and started playing without warming up well. He stated that's his biggest regret.

I met Elvis when I was 4 that's what my parents say

Sure

🤣🤣🤣

Whatever makes you happy lol

😂😂😂😂😂

I'm sure he doesn't mean it literally, he was probably saying he was Goated in his prime

In then Derrick rose came and it all went down hill for the wizards 😂😂😂.

They didn't play each other in 2007 playoffs bulls played Miami in 1st round 2007 in wizards played cavaliers 1round in 2007 in lost that series u talking about 2005 when bulls vs wizards in 1st round in wizards won that series in 6 games

@Michael McCain Ok my mistake. I knew it was somewhere in there lol. Agent 0 was a bad man!

@@thebigone6071 hell yeah I miss him playing bro he was a walking bucket

Yea right, yaw be exaggerating, Kyrie is one & only with his handles..

They're complete opposites 😁😂🤣🤣😃😄

No

They had Davis then Curry, and both this era has nothing competitive in team. There are no reasons to stay there. But, if he would left to LAC...so i never became Wizards fan. I mean it is what it is:) He needed more descipline and i'm sure he could create his own legacy on the level of Kobe.

Nah bc Balotelli squandered a lot of his prime. Agent Zero was wild and goofy but we got to see him be an absolute stud. I don’t think we ever saw Balotelli’s full potential

Yeah, but before curry, Monte...

trash

Who? Exactly

Fam that’s a name I haven’t heard in the NBA in a long time! 😂 so many fucking guys who were role players or decent that I remember 😂😂😂

I mean no, but ok.

"Curry Time"? Bot Boy

​@@Jb-du5xt yes, actually

I mean I think the leg injury he got in 07 didn't help either

🤣🤣

James Smith nah what he said is accurate.

*how bad was Luis scola*

Luis scola lmao Haven’t seen that name in awhile

Him and Caron Butler

U can’t mean steph cause he was a starter

@@crisclay2678 no tf he wasn’t in 2k10 he was a backup to monte Ellis

@@goldenstandard187 they trippin

man said loling

It was definitely #1 when he played he lived in the gym

You can always watch his podcast to get further insight

If he had Kobe like work ethic then basketball should of been his main thing or did he get hurt or something

@@khaliekmason7006 he did get hurt . And then didn’t take the injury recovery seriously and never came back the same watch his podcast bro

😂😂😂😂😂

Is Tony Allen A HOF candidate?

Is Channing Frye a hall of fame candidate?
