Gilbert Arenas accuses Warriors of ruining Steph Curry MVP year
Gilbert Arenas was the point guard once positioned to put the Warriors back on the map. In 2003, he left the Warriors in free agency, and he joined the Washington Wizards. It was that franchise that Arenas put back on the map. However, during his seven years in DC, they only won one playoff series. While the wait was longer for Golden State, Stephen Curry put them back on the map. However, Steph won four championships for the Warriors. Now, Gil is saying they are wasting Curry’s MVP season.
Gilbert Arenas became one of the most prolific scorers of his era. As a result, he was often viewed as one of the league’s best players. However, Steph Curry came and redefined the game. In large part, due to his three point prowess, Steph is the reason why kids practice half court shots. Years prior, kids were trying to dunk and emulate Michael Jordan’s Jumpman silhouette. However, Curry, too has been to six Finals in eight years. Change a few mishaps and Curry’s accolades come close to matching Jordan’s.
Gilbert Arenas has a lot of opinions about the NBA. One unpopular opinion is how close Curry is to being the modern day Michael Jordan. Change the decision of making Andre Iguodala the 2015 Finals MVP, a few calls in the 2016 Finals, and Curry’s decision to dial back in the 2017 and 2018 Finals, along with some 2019 Finals calls, Curry also has six rings, and Finals MVPs. In addition, likely more MVPs. The up and down play of the Warriors has Gilbert saying they’re wasting a potential 2024 Curry MVP.
