Then again, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/draymond-green-digs-deep-in-the-luka-doncic-lebron-james-comparisons-20220520-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> and Anthony Davis </strong>wanted him, so he got the deal done.</p>
<p>The first<strong> red flags </strong>showed as early as preseason. He was turning the ball over at an absurd rate, yet some thought it was just a matter of time before they figured things out. That never happened.</p>
<p>Westbrook later<strong> became <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-lakers-fired-frank-vogel-because-of-russell-westbrook-20220506-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frank Vogel’s</a> scapegoat.</strong> The fans took offense to his poor defense and erratic shotmaking and it all went south pretty quickly. However, <strong>Gilbert Arenas</strong> believes the ones to blame for that are the coaching staff and not Westbrook.</p>
<h2>NBA News: Lakers Didn’t Put Russell Westbrook In A Position To Succeed, Says Gilbert Arenas</h2>
<p><em>“It’s more of like just any position player right if you become a third option receiver when you’re used to being in the number one position,”</em> Arenas said. <em><strong>“Now you’re a third and now your brain has to try to process how to fit in like I remember you went there you’re still a number one option. </strong>But now your third option on this team getting less catches, running the same routes like you know and everybody’s like yo you ain’t doing what you’ve been doing.”</em></p>
<p><em><strong>“If you’re not a coach that knows how to tweak your playbook for a certain player, you’re trying to make him fit into a role that Caruso fit in, Rondo fit in, KCP fit in. You have to as a coach, put plays in for him,” </strong></em>the former All-Star concluded.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Arenas has a valid point right there. They wanted Westbrook to be Westbrook, yet they didn’t even draw plays for him. So, even if he should’ve known better<strong> and triedto make adjustments</strong>, how is he expected to do what makes him great? And who’s to say that’ll change next season?</p>

And more often than not,<strong> he succeeded.</strong></p>
<p>Those who knew him remember Kobe as the hardest working person they’d ever meet. He was always willing to go the extra mile and as such, he demanded his teammates nothing but <strong>150% effort </strong>every time they set foot on the court.</p>
<p>And, while that <em>Mamba Mentality</em> is now an inspiration, it didn’t seem like it always sit well with his teammates. According to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/gilbert-arenas-explains-why-the-lakers-shouldnt-hire-shaq-as-their-coach-20220523-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Gilbert Arenas</strong>,</a> his teammates <strong>didn’t always embrace that spirit during his playing days.</strong></p>
<h2>Gilbert Arenas Says Kobe’s Teammates Didn’t Like His Mentality</h2>
<p><em><strong>“When we’re in sports and we’re on teams, our natural instinct is to fit in, to be liked,”</strong></em> Arena told LeSean McCoy in the ‘I Am Athlete’ podcast. <em>“<strong>Greatness doesn’t want to be liked. Nobody liked Kobe Bryant. Like it’s funny when everybody had a Mamba Mentality. Everybody hated the Mamba Mentality. Y’all hated that he thought selfish like that. Now it’s okay.”</strong></em></p>
<p><em>“That is true,”</em> McCoy replied.<em><strong>“He started being cool his last year. He started being cool to everybody, smiling. I’ve never seen Kobe smile.”</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>“Yeah because he was winding down,”</strong></em> Arenas explained. <em>“The competitiveness is out. You know, like, slapping players trying to get a reaction to see who’s going to fold, who’s not. Telling everybody ‘Take my shoes off, you ain’t balling like that.<strong> </strong>Take them off.’ <strong>That’s what greatness does. Greatness wants to challenge everybody. So nobody really likes it when it’s in the locker room. That’s that arrogant dude.”</strong></em></p>

<p>At the end of the day, Kobe’s legacy will shine the brightest among most of the athletes of his generation. What he accomplished transcended the hardwood as he set the standard for what it means to work hard to become<strong> the best version of yourself.</strong></p>

<p>The quest to find <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/los-angeles-lakers-have-found-a-new-coaching-candidate-20220512-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>a new coach</strong></a> has been a tricky one for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/kobe-bryants-rookie-lakers-jersey-to-be-auctioned-could-set-a-new-record-in-his-sold-memorabilia-20220522-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong></a>. <strong>Phil Jackson</strong> is reportedly advising the team in the search process, and some of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-lakers-shortlist-3-finalists-for-head-coaching-opening-20220520-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>best candidates </strong></a>have already ruled themselves out ofthe equation.</p>
<p>There aren’t many top-notch options available to try and rescue the purple and gold. Right now, chances are they’ll have to hire an assistant and pray he can turn the team around after F<strong>rank Vogel’s departure.</strong></p>
<p>So, even though <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/shaquille-oneal-sets-his-price-to-be-the-lakers-next-coach-20220422-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Shaquille O’Neal</strong></a> also offered himself as a potential coaching candidate, former All-Star <strong>Gilbert Arenas </strong>strongly advised the Lakers not to hire him, as his work ethic wasn’t exactly his cover letter back in the day.</p>
<h2>Gilbert Arenas Doubts Shaq’s Work Ethic</h2>
<p><em>“This is not a knock against him because he was great, but he was gifted great. He was born big, athletic, and was skilled,”</em> Arenas said.<em><strong>“So, the mentality of what it takes to day-in and day-out be a great player, that was Kobe’s complaint. You know, that I get here at six o’clock in the morning working on my craft and you’re just god’s gift.”</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>“So will he have the brain and capacity to break down for the lames? That’s not him,” </strong></em>Arenas explained. <em>“And that’s where greats usually have a problem with, making it normal. That’s why Kobe was a great coach because Kobe didn’t have the 48-inch vertical and all this.<strong> He had to work on his craft, he had to understand the game, he had to understand angles. That’s why mediocre players make better coaches.”</strong></em></p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Work ethic or not, maybe trusting a former star with no coaching experience isn’t the way to go for the purple and gold. Butthen again, a new coach can only do so much for them, considering<strong> how poorly their roster is built right now.</strong></p>

<p>Durant has faced plenty of backlash since leaving OKC. Some people claim he took the easy way out by joining<strong> Stephen Curry</strong> and the best team in the league, putting an asterisk next to his two rings.</p>
<p>That’s not the case with <strong>Gilbert Arenas.</strong> If anything, the former All-Star believes <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/charles-barkley-rips-bus-rider-kevin-durant-over-winning-easy-rings-with-the-warriors-20220425-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barkley was way out of line</a> </strong>with his comments. He called him out because, unlike KD, <strong>he never even won a championship.</strong></p>
<h2>NBA News: Gilbert Arenas Fires Back At Charles Barkley Over ‘Bus-Riding’ Comments</h2>
<p><strong>(Transcript via Fadeaway World)</strong></p>
<p><em>“I think old school is having a problem with who they were. You gotta remember the new school is watching everything. We’re watching you get teased by Shaquille O’Neal every chance you get that you haven’t won a championship. What do you think? The new school of I don’t want to be that. … You trumped me with the ring every time we get to argue. You see it, Shaq does one of these. Now, as a player, I need that. <strong>You can’t Trump me with rings. Just like with Kevin Durant, Charles Barkley can’t say nothing to him. He pulls the ring like I got the ring. I got two of them. I got the two Finals MVPs.”</strong></em></p>
<p><em>“That’s where, like, you don’t want to be; in that category. So you want to be a bus driver to the point where I want to get to the destination. <strong>So if I need someone to help me drive the bus a little bit better, okay. I’m not gonna wait until I’m on my last leg, which Charles Barkley did. So when all these guys go I didn’t try to win it, yeah you did. You tried to go to Houston. You went to Houston to try to win a championship.”</strong></em></p>

<p><strong>Maybe there’s some middle ground to this.</strong> Saying KD didn’t win a real ring is unfair, inaccurate, and flat-out hating. But Chuck is also right to some extent, and the fact that he was never a champion doesn’t make his comments less true.</p>

<p>Ever since that day, the former first-overall pick has enjoyed his five minutes of fame by sharing some bold remarks about… pretty much everything that goes around in the NBA. From <strong>Russell Westbrook wearing a dress</strong> to the status of the Lakers, he always seems to have something to say.</p>
<p>Recently, Brown made the news again for his hot takes and now-famous videos. This time, the former <strong>Wizards</strong> big man decided <strong>to call out <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-analyst-says-lebron-james-is-the-third-best-center-in-the-league-20220113-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a></strong> for looking at the stat sheet while sitting on the bench.</p>

<p><em>“Kwame Brown, I have 54 minutes of who u were as a wizard. Nothing but truth supported by facts and articles so let’s not do this anymore OKAY?<strong> Bra you were booed by EVERY CITY u played for, how are u gonna win an internet battle with me ?</strong> them fans nicknamed u “boo boo brown” becuz u played like some sh*t and u want SMOKE with me? Not 1 minute of this video is about u off the court. </em></p>
<p><em>Just yo h*e a**tendencies on the court. Gil can u tell them not to use the smoke machine to call our names, it’s messing with my vision and breathing. Telling his followers he’s an alpha male, more like a gremlin. <strong>Ni**a came with so many instructions when it came to hooping </strong>(don’t pass the ball to me first 3 plays, gotta warm up)(can we start the layup line on the left side, becuz the lights on the right, hurts my eyeballs)(can u switch shorts with me, they gave me 52 and u 54, I’m alittle faster in 54’s)(hey Gil coach wants me to play Chris bosh str8 up, can u go tell him we might need to double he will listen to u)(I don’t wanna play home games becuz they booing me). </em></p>
<p><em>Kwame a alpha male is a mindset not physical attributes. A alpha wouldn’t be on the internet complaining how everyone treated him and blaming people for why his career didn’t go the way it should have. A alpha male isn’t a victim they create victims. <strong>Guess yo momma cooking was missing a few male ingredients BOY.</strong> Everybody go to “basketball reference” type in Kwame brown…under his name at the top u will see his nickname (coffee) as in John Coffey, that big soft a*** ni**as from green mile. </em></p>
<p><em>His NBA nickname was basically (BETA). This is a lose lose for u MR brown…I DONT wanna post the video. <strong>So do what u normally do when I give u orders, just walk away ya beta boy</strong>.

<p>Well, that’s classic Arenas right there. He’ll joke around, he’ll play with you, but he’s not going to let you come at him. Needless to say, Brown isn’t going to go down without a fight, and <strong>we’re looking forward to watching his response.</strong></p>

Gilbert Arenas blasts Kwame Brown in a hilarious IG rant

Gilbert Arenas blasts Kwame Brown in a hilarious IG rant - Bolavip US

<p>The start of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> season </strong>has been a bit of a reality check for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/new-york-knicks-t92326" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>New York Knicks</strong></a>. Are they really as good as they were last season? Or are they the same team that couldn’t compete with the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/atlanta%C2%A0hawks-t101420" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atlanta Hawks</a> </strong>in the playoffs?</p>
<p>For now, the latter seems like a more accurate statement. And, even though<strong> Kemba Walker’s addition </strong>seemed great on paper, the former Hornets star was far from his usual self and isn’t even a part of the rotation anymore.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, that shouldn’t have come as a surprise, considering he’s competing with minutes with <strong>Tom Thibodeau’s </strong>favorite guy: <strong>Derrick Rose.</strong> At least, that’s what former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/washington-wizards-t94888" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Wizards</strong></a> star <strong>Gilbert Arenas</strong> thinks.</p>

<h2>Knicks News: Gilbert Arenas Says Kemba Walker Should’ve Seen This Coming</h2>
<p><strong>(Transcript via Fadeaway World)</strong></p>
<p><em>“You look at his stats and it’s not benchworthy. You’re paying him and you’re playing him 22 minutes. <strong>I’m pretty sure he’s frustrated, I’m pretty sure he’s letting you know that he’s frustrated and that’s what you’re benching him for.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>As Kemba, you should have seen it coming. You got Derrick Rose over there, coming off the bench. That’s Thibs guy. </strong>He done proven to Thibs that he’s a warrior. He knows how Thibs wants to play. He’s done shown what he can do that. You can say he’s back.</em></p>
<p><em>You guys are competing on who’s going to finish the game in the 4th quarter. The coach is gonna go with the guy that has proven to him over and over,<strong> he’s gonna play Derrick Rose over you in the last 5 minutes of that game…”</strong></em></p>

<p></p>
<p>Arenas has a valid point right there. But, even though he’s got the worst plus-minus on the rosterright now, he’s on a team-friendly deal and is more than capable of scoring 15+ PPG any given night, <strong>so we expect multiple teams to try and make a run at him.</strong></p>

Gilbert Arenas gets real on Kemba Walker and the Knicks

Gilbert Arenas gets real on Kemba Walker and the Knicks - Bolavip US

<p>Back when the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong></a> appointed <strong>Frank Vogel</strong> as their new coach, some people around the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> thought it was just a trick to eventually fire him and let <strong>Jason Kidd</strong> take the reins. Given his past with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/indiana-pacers-t100210" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indiana Pacers</a>,</strong> there were serious doubts about his ability to lead the team.</p>
<p>Those doubts were silenced when the Lakers<strong> won the NBA championship</strong> in the bubble. Whether you’re a fan of Vogel or not, his job was to win the ring and he did it, so it’s not like the fans could complain.</p>
<p>But now that the Lakers went through a major roster overhaul, Vogel’s old ways are showing up again.<strong> He’s been outcoached and exposed without <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> on the floor</strong>, and he’s struggled to adapt to his new personnel.</p>

<h2>Lakers News: Gilbert Arenas Says Frank Vogel Doesn’t Know How To Coach</h2>
<p>That’s why former Wizards star <strong>Gilbert Arenas </strong>was ruthless in his assessment of the coach, stating that Vogel doesn’t know how to be flexible or understand the talent and the players he’s got on the roster:</p>
<p><em><strong>“You’re looking at this roster now, and you’re like, ‘What are you doing?’… How do you not know how to play a player? Isn’t that your job as a coach to be flexible?… And that’s why some coaches are just not good because they don’t actually understand what talent is, how that talent is played, how to utilize that talent,” </strong></em>the former All-Star said.</p>
<p><em><strong>“The players that are playing are still good players compared to everybody else,” </strong></em>Arenas added.<em><strong>“You still don’t even know how to play Westbrook the correct way. You still ain’t using him the way he needs to be used. What was training camp for then? That’s what a coach is supposed to do.”</strong></em></p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<div id="relatedNews-60">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Arenas has never been the one to mince his words but he’s right on point here. Vogel needs to hit the drawing board and realize that he’s not putting his players in a position to succeed <strong>before it’s too late</strong>.</p>

Gilbert Arenas destroys Lakers coach Frank Vogel

Gilbert Arenas destroys Lakers coach Frank Vogel - Bolavip US

<p>Everybody around the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> is talking about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/this-is-how-the-ben-simmons-trade-drama-could-change-the-nba-forever-20210922-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Ben Simmons</strong></a> right now. The<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/international-nba-players-taken-1st-overall-in-the-draft-20200805-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">former first-overall pick</a> </strong>has made it clear that he has no intention of ever playing again for the <strong>Philadelphia 76ers,</strong> prompting many trade rumors around the league.</p>
<p>And, even though Simmons has plenty of blame for his current situation, he’s still got several valid reasons for wanting to leave. Coach <strong>Doc Rivers and Joel Embiid</strong> seemingly threw him under the bus after their playoff elimination, and he’s not willing to bury the hatchet.</p>
<p>That’s why, given how things went down and how the Sixers used him last season, former All-<strong>Star Gilbert Arenas </strong>actually sided with the Australian guard, claiming that <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/philadelphia-76ers-t102083" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his team failed him</a> all along.</strong></p>

<h2>NBA News: Gilbert Arenas Says The Sixers Failed Ben Simmons</h2>
<p><em><strong>“The bad part about it is, they don’t want to blame themselves for what he became,”</strong></em> Gilbert said on his Podcast. “<em>You’re talking about a guy who is 6’11, can get to the basket anytime he wants. He’s the point guard that is coming downhill, long, can jump. Really, he’s unguardable if his mentality was “I’m gonna go out and score 40.”</em></p>
<p><em>“So when you’re doing post up plays where he’s passing it to Embiid and his man is sagging… My thing was with Doc: what f**king plays are you running when he’s in… The fact that you’re not smart enough to say “Hey, Ben Simmons. F**king just drive. Just go score. 1-4 flat”… The fact that you’re not actually using him.<strong> The fact that you’re not “Greek-the-Freaking” this dude tells me another story too… My thing is he took 5 shots, that’s coaching too. You’re not getting him involved… he’s at the point where it’s more mental than anything</strong>,” </em>he added.</p>
<p>Arenas surely knows his basketball and he makes some pretty strong points right there. Even so, Simmons has earned some of the backlash and criticism from the fans, as he hasn’t shown any<strong> willingness to embrace criticism</strong> and work on the few flaws in his game.</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Rightnow, it doesn’t seem like Simmons and the Sixers can ever make amends, and fans aren’t going to let go of this any time soon. Hopefully,<strong> he’ll fulfill his untapped potential wherever he goes now.</strong></p>

<p>That seems to be the case with <strong>Gilbert Arenas,</strong> who he battled with during his first couple of years in the Eastern Conference before his career came to a sudden end due to multiple off-court incidents.</p>
<p>The Agent Zero has constantly talked about how good LeBron is and this time, he took it up a notch by penning a long message on Instagram explaining <strong>why he believes that The King is one of the greatest players of all time.</strong></p>
