A veteran demolishes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in a bold take

Gilbert Arenas recently participated in an interview by ‘VladTv’. During the interview, the NBA veteran shared his thoughts on the list of top 5 centers by ESPN. Topping the list is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, followed by Wilt Chamberlain on spot 2. The third spot goes to Bill Russell, Shaquille O’Neal is on spot 4 followed by Hakeem Olajuwon. The list had old-school players on it.  However, Gilbert Arenas wasn’t impressed with the list as he had a straight face on while the list was read out.

Gil wasn’t satisfied with the list and particularly how Shaquille O’Neal was fourth on the list. He then went on to destroy Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in his bold take on the list.

“No one in their right mind to say if these guys all matched up in their prime, not one of them would be Shaq. Not even close. Orlando Shaq, Laker Shaq will blow past all these guys. He had skill, it’s not like he was playing brute basketball. No, right, so he will dominate these guys.”

However, when it came to Kareem, Gil wasn’t too impressed.

“Now we’re talking about Kareem because he has the most points. But outside of his sky hook, what did he actually do? What did he improve in?”

He then went on to state that he’s seen the dunk contest Kareem played in and he called it

“trash.” Gil then compared Kareem to ‘Atari,’ a video game company while referring to Shaq as an ‘Xbox.’ Gil said that he won’t be able to choose Atari over an Xbox if he’s seen how an Xbox performs. Furthermore, he finds it challenging to place Shaq in the fourth spot. He said, “He will brutalize you guys so technically.” Gil even went on to call the now-NBA analyst” the most dominant sinner ever.”
