Gilbert Arenas defended Kevin Durant against criticism of his perceived lack of leadership. Arenas dismissed the concept, labeling it "not a real thing." He argued that Durant is fulfilling his responsibilities by delivering consistent performances and stated that the struggles of Durant’s current team, which includes stars Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, should not be solely attributed to Durant. He highlighted that injuries and team dynamics are the real culprits, not individual leadership. Arenas also debated the traditional views of leadership in sports, questioning the criteria used to classify players like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson as leaders. He pointed out that leadership perceptions are often subjective and perpetuated by "old media." Throughout the discussion, Arenas stressed that Durant's challenges stem from external factors beyond his control, as evidenced by his tumultuous stints with teams like the Brooklyn Nets and now the Phoenix Suns.
