Gilbert Arenas calls out Jaylen Brown “He was the 3rd pick in the NBA Draft. The first 3 games, just like Bronny. Bronny was 6-26, and Jaylen Brown was 5-26 in his first 3 games in summer league.”

  1. not saying gil is right or wrong but its funny how we base everything off raw fga/fgm

  2. toadtruck

    Arenas using a stats based argument? Somebody check those numbers lol

  3. GayForJamie

    Jaylen was also 5 inches taller, and didn’t suck in college.

  4. Gilbert trained Bronny when he was a kid. He don’t wanna his most famous student to make him look bad 😂.

  5. Relevant_Gold4912

    This shit is so dumb. Brown was just talking hoops in an honest conversation with his girl he wasn’t trying to make headlines or publicly say it.

  6. mmaguy123

    The difference is Jaylen had a track record and body of work outside the summer league (hence why he was the #3 pick) lol. Bronny doesn’t have significant prospect level accomplishments in basketball outside junior year of high school.

  7. I_Set_3_Alarms

    Jaylen Brown truly has improved after every offseason

  8. SchlangLankis

    Bold move cotton. Let’s see if it pans out for him.

  9. GalactusAteMyPlanet

    Is Bronny also going to awaken his 3rd eye and gain access to a higher plane of reality?

  10. RickySuela

    This shit is all so dumb. Bronny has three years to prove he’s worth another contract, if he doesn’t, then that’s it for him. But it’s not like if he doesn’t play great this week then his career is over. It’s stupid how much everyone cares about a teenager who was picked at the end of the draft. Odds are overwhelming that he’ll never be any kind of factor at all, so why get so worked up about some dude who’s probably just gonna be in the G-League for the next few years?

  11. That-Log8135

    Gilbert Arenas style is basically just to zag on everything

  12. LongjumpingAd6193

    Jaylen also averaged 9 free throws a game in his first summer league. He was raw for sure but celtics fans were pretty encouraged

  13. Frequent-Mix-1432

    Jaylen is 6’6” and a much better athlete.

  14. I think we’re forgetting that Jaylen Brown dad isn’t playing with him as one of the best ever players, no shit bronny is going to get hate when he sucks.

    If your problem with how bronny James plays basketball has anything to do counting stats, you don’t know a damn thing about basketball. If homie was hustling like a second round pick should and even looked like he had a clue on how to play organized basketball I would care if he missed every shot. 

    The real issue with James is he looks like a high school freshman playing organized basketball for the first time and even worse he is showing very little hustle for second round pick who should be desperate to make the team. 

    Brown was a third pick in the draft and played his summer league games like a guy who was undated trying to make the team. He also understood basic basketball movements and never once looked like a guy who was entitled to spot on the roster. 

    Comparing Bronny to brown in anyway is ridiculous.

    Jaylen Brown is 6’6” and was an obvious plus athlete in addition to actually having a good college career. Jaylen wasn’t talking about summer league stats he was talking about the fact Bronny doesn’t measure up to his eye test. Also, it was just a conversation with his girlfriend, who also plays basketball, not a public callout.

  17. Diligent-Plant1976

    Attacking Jaylen back doesn’t deny Bronny is playing like shit. Gimme a reason why he deserves that contract rather than attacking the people criticizing him.

  18. simonffplayer

    JB averaged 15 for a cal team that went 23-11. he also has obvious athletic traits

  19. Fabtacular1

    You can tell Gil’s not watching. It’s not even the stats. It’s the eye test. He’s just straight up passive and doesn’t even play intelligently.

    If he was 6’6” everyone could get behind him as a development prospect. Like maybe he could become a strong Lance Stephenson type guard.

    But at 6’2” you can’t be like “with development, patience and a bit of luck he may just become a a backup-level PG.”

  20. So what Arenas is saying is he expects Bronny to continue on the path Jaylen Brown was on and become a fmvp? Is this what he is saying?

  21. Shingorillaz

    Gil is like if it wasn’t Bronny y’all wouldn’t hate on the 55th pick but if it wasn’t Bronny Gil wouldn’t be defending the 55th pick either.

  22. MrWhiteKnight777

    Alex Sarr is playing worse than Bronny I think too

  23. hereforthesportsball

    This isn’t calling him out? Why lie

  24. InsaneEcho

    I’m not even gonna lie I just want Bronny to be an average NBA player so I don’t have to hear the pendulum of him being overhyped and overhated constantly 

  25. SwansongKerr

    WHY ARE WE EVEN LISTENING TO HOT TAKE GIL??? THIS DUDE IS WORSE THAN STEPHEN A

  26. BuddhistInTheory

    Jaylen Brown never said Bronny wasn’t a pro because of his lack of production in the summer league.

  27. Is Gil part of Klutch or something? He always quick to defend Lebron and have been defending Bronny nonstop

  28. Lumpy_Emergency_3339

    But brown made it to the league because he was good not because he had a famous father

  29. What did Bronny do in college vs Brown again?…..

  30. Yoon_Sanha

    gil has never had a good take and fga/fgm is not an indicator of success or failure in summer league

  31. Eisenhorn76

    The real question is why so much airtime is being spent talking about the performance of a 2nd round pick when the consensus is that he got into the NBA because of his dad. Bronny is a 2nd round pick who maybe shouldn’t even have been one.

    This kind of performance is not unexpected — but it’s magnified 10-fold when ESPN makes your games an event. They were literally giving his airballs multiple slow motion replays.

    Even worse, hot take NBA trolls like Arenas are dining out on the poor kid’s struggles. It’s ugly.

  32. justarando0000

    I wonder how he can talk with Lebron’s dick in his mouth

  33. DrunkMeditator

    I can’t imagine being so famous that an inaudible lip-read discussion with your girl turns into national discourse. Smh

  34. YallRedditForThis

    You have some lemilky residue on your lip Gilbert
