In a recent episode of No Chill podcast, Arenas spoke of his picks. He said, “I’m gonna have LeBron, CP… Curry, Russ, and Dame.” While he names his roster, Gilbert Arenas left out Kyrie Irving from this list.

With regard to his picks, he added, “See, that’s what I said so like Kyrie is tricky because in this moment in time he is the most skillful offensively. Out of all of them like I mean no matter you know Curry getting his shot off or how Westbrook can just get to the basket at will um gets all the numbers, Dame range, his precision, his deadly you know mindset at the end of the game. Kyrie is just a whole different breed.”

Arenas added, â€œIt’s really hard because it’s you can’t keep him out of the top five at all you I mean it just like when it comes to guards, he is the guard you know I mean he is the guard. The only reason that if you do leave them off, you’re only leaving them off because Chris Paul is still here and LeBron is still here sitting on 16 years and 18 years you know what I mean so you got to give the respect still to those guys who put in that work and they’re still here so they’re still relevant to the game.” Gilbert Arenas made some valid points with respect to LeBron James and his importance as a point guard.
