While many consider Stephen Curry an exceptional talent who has changed the dimension of the game, Gilbert Arenas made it to the headlines with his controversial opinion about the sharpshooter and Nikola Jokic not being the generational talent.
During an episode of the “Gils Arena Show,” the former Magic guard made heads turn by stating, “Steph [Curry] is not a generational talent…Generational infers you can’t mimic it. Can you mimic Magic Johnson, a 6’9″ point guard with vision? You can’t mimic LeBron James – it’s about physical attributes. You can’t mimic Victor Wembanyama… [Nikola] Jokic is not a generational talent.”
According to Agent Zero, the skills of a generational talent cannot be replicated. NBA legend Johnson, 20-time All-Star LeBron, and ROTY Wembanyama are the players whose abilities cannot be mimicked. Still, the Warriors superstar and 3-time MVP do not fall in the same category. With his latest inclusion in the list of odd takes, Arenas sent shock waves on the internet.
