Gilbert Arenas and Shannon Sharpe recently got together for a discussion on Kevin Durant. And his merits. During a Nightcap segment, Sharpe gave Gil the task of ranking KD on the top 10 list and Gil said, without any hesitation, that he would put him as the “second-best small forward ever”.
The first position would probably go to Larry Bird. Having heard enough to convince him (almost), Unc brought his next challenge. And that’s where would he place him with respect to Stephen Curry on the All-Time list? This time too, Gilbert said that the 12x All-Star was very well above Curry. “Because KD is a whole another beast, right?”
“He [Steph] had that ankle injury, so he don’t have the stats that Kevin Durant had at the same age,” Gil reasons. He adds that “the players and the ex-NBA players” would no doubt agree with him.
