Former Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas is back at it with another take that will divide NBA followers.
Appearing at VladTV, the three-time All-Star was asked which player strikes the most fear in their opponents.
Arenas said that person is Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks.
"I'll probably say [Greek Freak], because he is going to do it on both ends," Arenas said.
"There is no reasoning with this motherf when it comes to the court. When he is stepping on the court, you know what's gonna happen."

Before naming the player, Arenas said it is because of what the player can do on both ends of the floor.
Arenas' selection is not pointless, though, as Antetokounmpo has been at the top of the NBA hierarchy in the last five seasons. He collected two MVP season awards, one Defensive Player of the Year plum, and multiple selections in the All-Defense and All-NBA teams.
Nikola Jokic is not scary
In another video post from the YouTube Channel, Arenas also explained how Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic is not scary enough like Giannis or even Philadelphia 76ers' Joel Embiid.
The retired NBA player made the comment when explaining why Lebron James is not feared but can still get the job done anyway.
"Like Jokic - no one is fearing Jokic," Arenas said. "Most of his sh-t is, 'I'm going to rebound, going throw a little assist, and have 20-something points.' No one is afraid of 20-something points... Embiid is more feared than Jokic. But who is more deadlier? [Giannis Antetokounmpo] is more feared than Jokic, but who is gonna kill you the worst?"
Of course, such a question is open to subjective interpretation.
Jokic just won the NBA title this 2023, and he and his team did it with ease by winning the Western Conference Finals in four games and the NBA Finals, 4-1.
