Just recently, Gilbert Arenas dropped a hot take about All-Star forward Khris Middleton. This led former Milwaukee Bucks star Brandon Jennings to defend him by dropping a fiery reaction of his own.
Arenas recently stirred up controversy with his comments about Middleton during a podcast discussion. While analyzing Milwaukee’s performance, Arenas sarcastically compared the NBA to two players from the Los Angeles Lakers, Austin Reaves and D’Angelo Russell.
This comparison drew sharp criticism from former NBA star Brandon Jennings, who defended the All-Star’s capabilities and accomplishments. Arenas argued that Jennings was using the NBA star as a disclaimer for Milwaukee’s struggles, suggesting that the team was making excuses due to injuries.
He implied that Middleton, being a third option, shouldn’t be used as a justification for the team’s performance. This dismissive characterization did not sit well with Jennings, who emphasized that he is a far superior player compared to Reaves and Russell.
