Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas has boldly asserted his opinions about LeBron James' legacy with the Los Angeles Lakers in a recent episode of the Nightcap Show with Shannon Sharpe.
The ex-Washington Wizards guard stated that James' legacy with the purple-and-gold franchise will never be on par with players like Kobe Bryant or Magic Johnson, who won multiple rings and dedicated their entire careers to the organization.
"LeBron was a rental for the Lakers' greatness, and that's just something he's gonna have to accept. His [scoring] milestones came in this uniform... but the legacy wasn't built here," Arenas claimed.

Arenas' latest comments only reiterated his stance about the matter, as he also made similar remarks during a previous episode of the Nightcap Show, also with Shannon Sharpe.
The three-time NBA All-Star was asked if he thinks the NBA's all-time leading scorer deserves a statue outside the Lakers' homecourt Crypto.com Arena, and he delivered a bold opinion.
"If his career stops right now? Hell no. He doesn't have enough accolades in a Laker uniform. The closest statue we have is Shaq. Shaq 8 years with 3 rings. So it's gonna be hard to put him in there with six years, 8,000 points, one championship, six all-stars," Arenas declared.
