The likes of Stephen Curry and LeBron James, who are deemed this generation’s icons, are a pure blessing to have in the basketball world. And even in their late 30s, the pair alongside a few others continue to dominate with their presence on the court. It’s astonishing how these athletes in their fatherhood time, continue to do their work on the court. And maybe. Just maybe, Gilbert Arenas may have the answers as to why their careers continue to extend.

Gilbert Arena, a 3x All-Star himself, knows the NBA himself inside and out and had a rather peculiar argument in his latest Gils Arenas Show. The subject of age and how older players continue to dominate the league has been pondered over for a while. And finally, Arenas may finally have some compelling answers.

When you ask why LeBron James and Steph Curry and these older guys are still DOMINATING, the answer without offending anybody is because everybody is just stupid.

LeBron James, who turns 40 this year is showing no signs of slowing down – especially after the inaugural In-Season Tournament win. While injuries have been an issue at times, there is much more left in the King’s tank. As for Stephen Curry, who is slightly younger at the age of 35, is finding his best rhythm after a devastating series of injuries.

The question of the new generation NBA players’ IQ has raised quite a few eyebrows, but few believe Gil’s words hold truth. Of course, something similar was recently claimed by none other than Draymond Green.
