Gilbert Arenas: Pat Riley has to fire himself

Gilbert Arenas: There’s only a few people in the GOAT debate. You’ve got to understand what a debate is. If there’s a number one, whoever number two is, unless he’s an active player, he’s not part of the GOAT debate because he has nothing else to gain. So if he didn’t overtake the person then he’s out actually out of the conversation. So there’s only a few people that’s still in the running for a debate: It’ll be LeBron James, it’ll be Stephen Curry, it’ll be Kevin Durant, it’ll be Giannis Antetokounmpo, it’ll be Nikola Jokic, right? They’re active. So because they’re active they’re still chasing something. Once you retire, if you didn’t do what you were supposed to, you can be part of a debate no more. -via YouTube / March 4, 2025
