steph curry and nikola jokic dismissed as generational talents by gilbert arenas

NBA circles were set ablaze by former star Gilbert Arenas' bold claims on his show "Gil's Arena."

Arenas sparked controversy by dismissing Stephen Curry and Nikola Jokic, both multiple-time MVP winners, as generational talents.

His argument hinged on the idea that a generational talent possesses a unique physical skillset that can't be easily replicated.

He pointed to players like Magic Johnson's exceptional passing for a tall point guard or LeBron James' superhuman athleticism as examples.

Curry's revolutionizing long-range shooting and Jokic's unorthodox yet dominant playmaking, according to Arenas, fall short of this definition. This hot take ignited a firestorm of debate.

Fans and analysts alike questioned Arenas' criteria for generational talent, suggesting it downplays the immense impact Curry and Jokic have had on the modern game.
