In a video below, while appearing on VladTV, former NBA player Gilbert Arenas weighed in on Vince Carter’s career, suggesting that Carter had the potential to reach the same echelon as sports icons like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, or Kobe Bryant if he had been more committed to honing his skills.
Arenas acknowledged Carter’s innate athletic gifts and believed they could have propelled him to greatness. However, he labeled Carter as ‘lazy,’ clarifying that this referred less to a lack of effort and more to Carter’s demeanor, which didn’t align with the competitive drive of Jordan, LeBron, and Kobe.
Arenas also touched on the perception of athlete work ethic, noting that individual habits and routines play significant roles in player performance.
