Gilbert Arenas Explains Why Every Roster Needs A Steve Blake

[@Hmmm_B]

Steve Blake was one of my favorite Lakers. Kobe passed it to Steve in the corner in a crucial playoff game against OKC in 2012, and Steve missed it. Had he made it, that series could’ve been different. But to this day I’m living with that pass and shot. Steve was a damn dawg out there. Had all the trust in the world in him on both sides of the ball

I remember that game, poor Steve Blake had death threats on him and his family. As a Laker fan it’s sucked he missed it, but in no way is it ok to threaten him and his family. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sick of hearing Harden in Houston thrown into these great scoring runs. He abused the rules, would throw himself into defenders and hook their arm. By doing this he shot a ridiculous amount of free throws. Once the NBA changed the rules and wouldn't allow Harden to do this crap anymore he fell off big time. He should never be mentioned with Jordan and Kobe. Those guys actually won and sustained their excellence over a decade+ while Harden had 5 seasons of abusing the rules, fell off, and has never made it to the Finals even one time.
