Gilbert Arenas: 'If you stopped me at 25, Stephen Curry would have had nothing on me'
Gilbert Arenas made a bold claim that he was better than 25-year-old Stephen Curry when the former was of the same age. “I got hurt at 25,” Arenas said on the I Am Athlete podcast. “So if you stop me at 25, Steph [Curry] would have had nothing on me.” It was a bold claim at best, but Arenas had his reasons, as he believed he had a lot more credentials and accolades than the Golden Warriors sharpshooter at 25.

De’Aaron Fox did Matthew Dellavedova proud in Game 1, surviving Steph Curry on one end and dominating on the other. And he didn’t even need any IVs.
“That s*** is real,” he said of the Curry challenge.

De’Aaron Fox just scored the most points in a Game 1 win ever against the Curry Warriors.

Jacque Vaughn’s first sub: Royce O’Neale in for Dorian Finney-Smith. Seth Curry just did some sprints up and down the baseline. He is checking in now — along with Day’Ron Sharpe. #Nets – 1:30 PM

Doc Rivers talked to his daughter, Callie, this morning. Thought she was a little “cold” to him. She’s married to Seth Curry, of course. – 11:30 AM

NBACentral: Gilbert Arenas says 25 year old Gilbert Arenas was better than 25 year old Steph Curry (Via @IAMATHLETEpod ) -via Twitter @TheNBACentral / April 17, 2023
In his playing days, MJ was known to rack up points with reckless abandon, crushing the spirit of his opponents with every made basket. Jordan, as well as Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant, said Arenas, didn’t simply beat down opponents with an avalanche of points, but also with the way in which they scored. “The fear comes from what that person’s capability is as an offensive player. So, Michael Jordan was feared. Allen Iverson was feared. Kobe (Bryant) was feared. Guys who have the ability to score 30 to damn 70 points, they’re feared,” said Arenas, while his co-hosts also added the names of Steph Curry and Damian Lillard to the list. -via Sports Illustrated / March 25, 2023
“LeBron James was an all-around player. Even though he gave you 40, it wasn’t the same 40,” remarked Arenas. “I’m not afraid of a guy who’s gonna give me 29/9/9, I’m afraid of a man who’s gonna go for 60 if I’m not careful.” -via Sports Illustrated / March 25, 2023
Kendra Andrews: The Warriors are blasting E-40 post shootaround. Klay Thompson yelled “turn that E-40 up!” while Steph Curry was dancing on the other end of the court. -via Twitter @kendra__andrews / April 17, 2023
Jason Dumas: Really enjoyed the Steph documentary. It’ll be a hit when it’s released worldwide in July. I got to catch up with the producer, Ryan Coogler. Steph’s close friend and college teammate, Jason Richards, and Steph’s college coach, Bob McKillop, at the premiere on Thurs. Fun stuff! pic.twitter.com/wHp4CjH4In -via Twitter @JDumasReports / April 17, 2023
