At the helm of his podcast for many months, Gilbert Arenas has made a habit of delivering viral, and sometimes even (very) controversial, remarks. Recently, he focused on the case of LeBron James with a rather singular analysis.

At a time when NBA media and podcasts are multiplying, logic would dictate that the diversity of topics covered should increase.

And yet, one man continues to monopolize the attention of analysts and other consultants, namely LeBron James.

It must be said that the latter has not been idle this summer, having played in the Paris Olympic Games with Team USA and emerged with a gold medal and the title of tournament MVP.

As he approaches his 40th birthday, LeBron can be satisfied with having performed a most remarkable last dance in selection.

Theory: LeBron didn’t dye his beard because he wanted to win gold, be elected MVP and see this moment engraved in history with photos that could show how old he was when he achieved this feat.

True or not, this speech has in any case found an echo in the one delivered in recent hours by Gilbert Arenas in his Gil’s Arena:

Gilbert Arenas: All it takes is one evening a little too drunk during a road trip to Miami for LeBron to become a grandfather.

He goes to bed a little too early and the next day, Bronny shows up and says, “Hey Dad, here’s your grandson!” I’m serious.

That’s what his appearance makes me say right now. He doesn’t look young at all anymore.

While we wait to find out if LBJ will have a full brown beard again by the start of the NBA season, his performance level has remained unchanged this summer.

His relative old age still can’t be seen on the court, which must satisfy the Lakers.

It remains to be seen whether they will be able to take advantage of his extreme longevity one last time by offering him a final championship ring.

For Gilbert Arenas, LeBron James has never seemed so close to retirement… or at least to grandfather status.

That doesn’t stop the King from still representing an immense threat on the court for his opponents.
