Gilbert Arenas, a former guard with the Memphis Grizzlies, criticized the Boston Celtics.
Although the Boston Celtics are among the most illustrious teams in sports history, they haven’t won a title since 2008. Guard Gilbert Arenas, a former NBA player, criticized the Memphis Grizzlies on a recent edition of Gil’s Arena for the team’s lack of recent success.
According to Arenas, “Laker fans have just caught up to a group whose entire championship legacy was built with eight teams.” “To be honest, and to be spiteful, I’m very convinced that—to start with—95 percent of the championships were established prior to Paul Pierce’s birth. Second, I don’t think anyone is still around to recall their championship victories from the 1950s.
“In the last thirty years, Boston has been irrelevant in the history of basketball,” Arenas continued. Because you guys were well-known, you had all the top players, and as a result, your history was established from the outset. Where has Boston been in the last thirty years of basketball? You’ve only had one chip for the previous 30 years.
Arenas continued his speech by asserting that, over the past 30 years, the Toronto Raptors have more reason to celebrate than the Boston Celtics.
“The only people that remember you is Boston fans now,” Arenas said. “Most of the people who watched Boston’s original dynasty ain’t even alive… Toronto got more bragging rights than you right now in the past 30 years, see you both got one.”
This was quite the statement from Arenas, who had a lot to say about the Celtics and their recent history.
