Throughout his whole career, the guy had one and only one goal in mind: to win games and titles. But if there was anything he regretted, it was that others didn&#8217;t put in as much effort as he did. Even though he has received harsh criticism, he has criticized Shaquille O&#8217;Neal for being lethargic. Gilbert Arenas, though, is the only one who has indirectly endorsed him.

Everyone who he clashed with are just lazy people. They were just lazy. Like, how can you really be mad, as a hooper, if a man says, \u2018You supposed to be the best ever! You supposed to be the beer ever? You lazy as hell! Yeah, you averaged 20 or something because you\u2019re god gifted, but you have no work ethic.\u2019 But who\u2019s wrong here? The one who\u2019s saying, you should be the best ever? Or the one who\u2019s sitting there saying, \u2018I\u2019m already averaging 30.
