--------
Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas discussed who he believes are the best players at each position in the NBA today, offering unique insights into his choices. When asked about current top performers, Arenas recognized the complexity due to versatile 'unicorn' players who can fit multiple positions. For point guard, Arenas selected Steph Curry for his consistent excellence. At shooting guard, he favored Devin Booker. For the forward positions, he placed Kevin Durant at the three and LeBron James. To round out his top five, he named Joel Embiid as the best center. However, Arenas admitted that Nikola Jokić’s playmaking abilities could make him preferable if drafting a team from scratch.
Devin Booker aint signed to Adidas lol he mustve meant to say Antman
1000% meant georgiaboy
Both of them niggas cold don’t forget that boi dbook dropped 71
I thought I was the only one that picked that up
Book with Nike. Ant with Adidas.
Arenas is consistent. Consistently makes no sense. Thanks Gil.
😂😂😂😂😂
forreal lmaooo
I came here specifically to look for this comment, I’m glad something ain’t wrong with me. Gilbert is a ‘try hard’. He tries too much to come across as intellectual but most of the time makes little sense.
consistency is key 😂
Nun ah yal play 2K .Hes speakin about team chemistry and how who and when u draft someone would determine a teams efficiency and overall potential.
Gil picked his players and argued against them at the same time lol
😂
😅😅😅lol
Yeah he is using critical thinking skills and being objective. Only stupid people don't weigh the options.
@PotatoGunCamper Gil is anything but objective lol watch his pod sometimes see how much critical thinking you come away with
🤣
Thank you for asking my question Vlad! One of the coolest things ever having Agent 0 get told my name and answer my question.
Booker over ant man is crazy
Book went to the finals and had way bigger and better games don’t let the hype fool you

@@trentmula5200Inserts broom
@@trentmula5200 Ant can do everything that book can do but has way more athleticism and defense. I honestly think gil meant to say ant cause he said hes going with his "adidas brethren" which would be ant cause book is a nike athlete
Yet book starts every game in the Olympics and ant is his backup. Book all around better . Any more explosive. Nothing else .
I don’t think ant is better than SGA personally at Least not right now
Sga is a point
@@trentmula5200 to me he’s a 2 at the 1. He’s not the traditional point
1. Luka, 2. Ant, 3. Lebron, 4. Giannis, 5. Jokic
Your line up is a lot better then his
I had your list except Tatum over Lebron because I’m thinking draft. Tatum has AT LEAST 5-6 years of prime left
@@bryandjuan That's fine but at this moment lebron is better.
SGA > Booker > Ant
@@sykomichael83 SGA is a point, and he's not better than luka
Gil been smoking
Luka, Jalen Brown, Bron, Giannas, Jokic…That’s my 5
Steph, Booker, Tatum, AD, Jokic
PG: Curry
SG: Booker
SF: KD
PF: Giannis
C: Embiid
@yourenotthatguy6295That was Gil’s lineup bro😂
@yourenotthatguy6295 lebron 60 years old stop it
No curry not on there. Curry couldn't even make the playoffs
C - Jokic
F - Giannis
F - LeBron
G - Luka
G - SGA
Jaylen brown is in that sg conversation as well
If you played and have been dominant you’re gonna pick Joel because he’s a defender WHICH MOST PEOPLE CANT OR WONT DO so it’s looked over AND he’s giving you 30 & 10
1. Kyrie
2. KD
3. Antman
4. KAT
5. Wemby
1. Shai 2. Ja 3. KD 4. Giannis 5. Jokic
Bro I was about to go crazy if he didn’t say Giannis
Jokic or Embiid isn’t a bad choice
D Book With Converse/Nike not Adidas what Gil talking bout 😂😂😂
Devin Booker is with Nike. 🤷🏻♂️
he asked vlad the 3 or the 4?? like vlad even knows what that means😂 gilbert said giannis at the 4 and vlads response was "no jokic?"
Rings and MVPs make Jokic the more favorable but it’s crazy how people act like the Embiid and Jokic debate is one sided. The only two things that Jokic does better than Embiid are passing and rebounding…he doesn’t score better nor defend better and every time they match up Embiid makes Jokic look silly.
Then why has Embiid not played in Denver going on 5 years? Why can't he stay healthy? Why did he cry like a bitch to win mvp? Why does he disappear when needed most in the playoffs?
It's not a one sided debate but Embiid don't score that much better than Jokic to make up for the gap in passing.
@@frankmathews the real question is what makes yall think he’s afraid to play in Denver out of all places lmao He already has to play in two of the most raucous and chaotic environments in the NBA consistently each year in the regular season and playoffs (NY and Boston) in which Denver doesn’t even come close to being as harsh. Plus Embiid is always resting because the Sixers take precaution with him. He deals with nagging leg injuries that linger from the original leg injuries that sidelined him for his first two years in the NBA. On top of that the Sixers play Denver the least so it isn’t surprising he hasn’t been in Denver for that long…one of those years we only played y’all once out the entire season 😂😂😂
@@frankmathews and if you think he cried for an MVP you’re delusional af. After they burnt him for the MVP where Jokic won as 6th seed h went on record and said he doesn’t care for the award anymore
@@jonnykilroy9762 nah bro the gap is larger than you think. Embiid is a 2x scoring champion… plus this year alone he scored 50+ on the DPOY then 70 on Wemby who’s
supposedly going to be the best defensive center ever. Jokic scored 50 once and that was his career high…Embiid scored 50+ 8 times. The issue with Embiid is that the Sixers fail to build a championship team around him plus his health issue doesn’t help the situation either. Jokic style of play is more team friendly plus he’s more reliable health wise
Best at each position

You know something.
@@bodilly6221Curry man hell no
Steph. Ant Man. Lebron . Giannis. Joker . The only one arguable on the list is curry because of overall team success from last year but other then that maybe switching Luka for Bron but this the list I’m rocking with
He was picking his team and arguing against it at the same time🤣
My team would be PG: SGA SG: Anthony Edwards SF: LeBron James PF: Victor Wembyanama C: Nikola Jokic My squad would go undefeated
Your team would be slow AF.
Bron is a fucking small forward stop the nonsense
He plays 3/4 and is often the primary ballhandler. Very hard to decide what exactly is he as in ROLE. He doesn't have a pure position based on the role(s) he plays. Shoot we could make an argument for him being a top 4 point guard of all-time!
U clearly dont watch basketball😂
@@quaquq96 no u don’t understand basketball
@@PotatoGunCamper stop bro he ain’t no point guard and he ain’t no top 4 point guard all time y’all think this man can do anything. Where is all that point guard shit when the game is on the line
I hate when they do that bra. The silliest narrative in basketball to me.
I actually think this is a good list for the best at all positions.: he’s almost spot on

Gil is really smart.
Agent 0 definitely has that basket ball mind! Skills were the truth as well!💪🏾💯💯
He knows how to drag it out
picking booker over antman is crazy; and embid is even crazier LOL
Booker over Ant is definitely crazy, but Embiid, when healthy, is the best center in the league.
He meant to say antman devin is signed to nike not adidas he had a brain malfunction
It's not that crazy. Booker is a solid pick. Anyone else besides Booker would've been crazy.
Booker is better than Ant though lol
Booker over Antman is not crazy this may be the first year when u can make a case for Ant recency bias is crazy
Ant man is adidas Booker is Nike
My Five: Ja | Steph | Bron | KD | Wemby
He makes everything soooo complicated 😂
Essentially the USA Olympic Basketball Team 😂🤣🤣😅
Great...
Let the comment section begin like they were asked the question 😅

@@Teebagzzz why not? Small forwards are supposed to run around the baseline and catch and shoot. He could run all day.
Curry, Ant, Durant, Giannis, Embiid for sure
Kd got swept and bullied by ant he can't have that 3 spot over Lebron, and Embiid isn't better than Jokic
That’s about right!
@@hueyfreeman5509and lebron isn’t better than a healthy kawhi or Tatum. Tatum may have not performed great in the big stage scoring wise, but he has a complete game bron doesn’t . Stop living in the past.
@@metalcoremania1 Bron doesn't have a complete game? Did you just start watching basketball 😂 foh
@@hueyfreeman5509 he’s not a defender anymore and if needed he can’t high pick and shoot all game efficiently. Bron is a downhill player he gets WIDE OPEN shots bc of his size and power. So yeah I’m gonna take the versatility of Tatum being a really good defender and PNR capabilities and tatum’s ability to guard another teams best player.
Luka literally is the PERFECT Superstar. He’s an alltimer with no ceiling but also Super marketable, Super Popular, relatable personality, shines in big moments, aura, killer mentality, trash talking you name it. he is the Face of the League going into next Season💯💯
Luka was ROBBED OF MVP this season: • 34/9/10 • 1st in points • 2nd in assists • 73 point game (4th highest ever) • First 33/9/9 season in NBA history • Most 30-PT TD’s since MVP Russ • 1st in 25-point games • 1st in 35-point games • 1st in 40-point games • 1st in 45-point games • 2nd in 3’s made • Top 10 in steals • 61.7% TS • Highest scoring season in Mavs history • Most PPG + RPG + APG since the merger. • Most consecutive 25 point triple-doubles ever • Most consecutive 30 point triple-doubles ever • Lifted Mavs from 11 seed to 5 seed • Most games missed by teammates among all playoff teams • Mavs 50+ wins • Mavs 1st in clutch win% • 6th best record in entire NBA
If you still believe the BS narrative that Luka has no defense, you’re completely wrong! Luka’s injuries got too much so he had to rely on team defense instead of 1v1 for two reasons: a. to conserve energy for facilitating offense and scoring b. that was their gameplan the whole playoffs is to lure the attacker to the help defender so naturally he’ll let em blowby and switch to the other player. I suggest you watch a yt channel called "Awful Coaching” where he had a couple videos praising and analyzing Lukas defense during the OKC/Clippers series and Mavs strategy into winning games. Luka is actually "GOOD” at defense now this season before the injuries piled up and got too much. If you watch Mavs Ball yk He was playing the best defense of his life this season and in the playoffs, specifically Clippers/OKC series that guys were shooting 2/17 fg when guarded by Luka. He had a great all around defensive year before he got injured right before the playoffs and you can tell it just got too much in the Finals that he had to take painkiller injections before each game. He needed to conserve energy more than ever to make the injury bearable, also to facilitate and score cuz all of a sudden no one can. He had to rely on team defense but Boston was just too good and they lost. If Dallas had faced a team like the 2023 heat and not a superteam they would’ve won! But they lost so the narrative shifted again and just blame it all on Lukas defense cause thats easy right, when his literal teammates couldn’t make shots to save their lives and most of em choked! All I can say to all Ignorants out there is to expect a more focused and determined Healthy Luka at both defense & offense next season💯
Cade ANT Brown Tatum Wemby best in next 4 years
Ja, Luka, Bron, KD, Giannis I beat everyone. 😂
He should be a gm real talk
Curry, Ant, LeBron, KD, Joker
Wait so who did he take off, LeBron or KD?

Chill too far wit fox bro
@AliasMaxx Fox goes head to head with point guards unlike curry. I don't respect players who don't atleast try to guard their position
