Former NBA Player Gilbert Arenas mocks Giannis Antetkounmpo when asked what the latter needs to do in order to win the championship and compared him to James Harden. The biggest question of this off-season was whether or not Giannis will find his way out of Milwaukee Bucks and move onto another championship contending franchise. Gilbert however, has given out a brutal response when asked about his opinion.
The Milwaukee Bucks was the best team in the regular season. But after yet another disappointing playoff run, this season it ended with a 4-1 defeat to Miami Heat. Although Giannis won the MVP, but his ultimate goal was postponed for yet another year.
“Giannis is the James Harden of the East” Gilbert Arenas
“Learn how to play basketball,” asserted Arenas. “To be honest, he is the James Harden of the east coast. You have a guy who is not the point guard, who dominates the ball and he’s playing one style. And that style is ‘I am going to take all of the big men who can’t move off the dribble, year on to the stamp and get some dunks.”
He explained to Shannon Sharpe, “That is amazing during the regular season. When that court gets small, you cannot do that anymore. You can’t play that style.”
The rivalry between James Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo has been seen by all in the NBA. But the question really is aren’t these two really alike? The other teams might have made some cap adjustments in order if Giannis doesn’t sign an extension with the Bucks. However, he has often been vocal and said he wants to be with the Bucks. As everyone waits, it is only up to time to tell whether the ‘Greak Freak’ will be at the Bucks or not. Similarly, for Harden, his stay at Houston Rockets will eb a tough one, that is if he decided to play there for another season. Especially after his partner Westbrook going to the Wizards.
