While the Finals are in full swing, a debate stirs some minds in parallel. In this case, a former league star and a famous analyst have expressed their disagreement over a discussion that concerns Victor Wembanyama and Stephen Curry.
Over the last 10 years, the player who has undoubtedly made the most impact is Stephen Curry. Voted MVP twice in 2015 and 2016, the Warriors superstar also added four rings to his record. The list could go on for a very long time, but it all just illustrates the 36-year-old’s dominance during this decade. Much younger, another player aspires to follow in his footsteps.
Expected to become the future face of the league, Victor Wembanyama showed during his first NBA season that he had what it took to become one of the greatest players according to many observers. This great year for the Frenchman ended with a unanimous Rookie of the Year. As for admirers, Gilbert Arenas also praised Frenchy in his podcast, while tackling the star leader.
Big clash in a debate with Wembanyama and Steph Curry
Wemby is a generational athlete with generational talent. Generational means you can’t imitate it. Can we imitate Magic Johnson… the 2m06 point guard with excellent game vision? No. You can’t imitate Shaquille O’Neal’s body. You can’t imitate LeBron James… These physical characteristics are generational.

Nikola Jokic is not a generational talent, he’s just a great basketball player. Curry is a great basketball player. A generational talent is something that happens once every 20 years, and we say to ourselves: “Damn! »
This is a daring opinion that Gilbert Arenas has once again exposed. And it didn’t take long to see Stephen A. Smith respond to this in his podcast:
I think he lost his mind on this one. When have we ever seen a shooter like Steph Curry in our lifetime? I have been on Earth for 56 years…. When have we seen someone like Curry? Able to shoot after a dribble, staying straight 6 yards, 10 yards, 12 yards from the basket… floaters at 10 yards. He is able to shoot left side, right side, top of the racket.
He can also shoot from the left wing, the right wing and also create his own shot. Steph Curry is the best shooter God ever created…. What is Gilbert Arenas talking about?
Everyone has their own perception of the game but regardless, Steph Curry, just like Nikola Jokic and Wembanyama are athletes with immeasurable talent that we will never tire of.
While the majority of people agree that Stephen Curry and Victor Wembanyama are both generational players, Gilbert Arenas does not consider the Warriors superstar as such. After hearing this, Stephen A. Smith was forced to contradict Agent Zero.
