Recently, Anthony Edwards claimed that Michael Jordan was the only player in his era with skill. Though for the claim he received a pile of backlashes from the former players, Arenas came forward in support of the Minnesota Timberwolves star. On a recent episode of the “Gil’s Arena” podcast, Arenas shared his thoughts on the discussion, agreeing with Edwards’ assessment of Jordan’s era.
“Basically, all Jordan’s competition in that era did not even have the physical tools to keep up with him. So he was basically a Bugatti, and everybody else was a Honda Civic. All the shooting guards were 6’4 and under. They didn’t have no jumping ability, right?” Arenas said.
“So who he went against, he’s saying they weren’t talented, meaning they weren’t athletic to keep up with them today,” Arenas added.
Fans Slammed Gilbert Arenas For Bold Claim on Michael Jordan
Gilbert Arenas is no longer in the NBA, but his take on current and former players often brings his name back into the discussion.
Similar to Edwards, Arenas also faced criticism from fans. They argued that several other notable stars deserve to be included in the conversation alongside Jordan. Fans disagreed with the former NBA star’s perspective and voiced their opposition to Arenas’ views in the comments.

Arenas recently stirred controversy by claiming Devin Booker and Trae Young’s legacy over Stephen Curry. Before that, Arenas credited Kevin Durant with Curry’s legacy with the Golden State Warriors.
Hence, for his back-to-back controversial takes, fans believe Arenas used to share his viewpoint without considering much.
Seemingly, the dispute over Jordan’s legacy will never end. Let’s see who comes next, either in support of Arenas or in opposition to him.

Jaylen Brown, the Boston Celtics shooting guard, has been a dominating force behind the Celtics’ success in the last season. Alongside star player Jayson Tatum, the 27-year-old star gave several dominating performances that led the Celtics to clinch their franchise’s 18th title in the 2023-24 NBA season.
However, Brown’s luck in the offseason didn’t suit him well, as he was not selected for the Team USA roster in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Despite this, the 2024 NBA champion, who was recently praised by Grant Hill, is enjoying his free time in the offseason. He was recently spotted with a Miami Heat star player at a party.
Bam Adebayo, the center for the Miami Heat, was recently spotted on the street outside a Club with Brown. Both stars were surrounded by several photographers and reporters. Brown and Adebayo greeted each other and took photos, as seen in a video uploaded by the NBA Central on X (formerly known as Twitter).
However, Brown and Adebayo’s meeting sparked excitement among the fans, who continue to speculate that both stars will play together on the same team in the future.
One fan said, “It’s time for Jaylen Brown to come home to Miami.”

Meanwhile, another fan reacted, “Me when NBA players on rival teams don’t actually hate each other.”
Another fan said, “We all know that Jaylen and Jayson will break up, and if that happens, Brown will be headed to Miami. You heard it first here.”
Another fan said, “The forbidden duo that would dominate the league.”
Another fan mentioned, “Both of these collabs go hard.”
Another fan said, “Trying to find a new team cause he hates the Celtics?”
Jaylen Brown’s Dominance in the 2023-24 Season
Brown played an essential role in the Celtics’ playoffs last season. He consistently demonstrated outstanding court skills. According to StatMuse, Brown averaged 23.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 70 games in the 2023-24 season. He was selected to play in his third All-Star game.
During the 2024 playoffs, he averaged 23.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 19 games. Due to his exceptional performance for the Celtics, he was named the Eastern Conference Finals MVP after averaging 29.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. Additionally, Brown was named NBA Finals MVP after averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game.
