Gilbert Arenas just came through with a hot take about how the media treats Jayson Tatum and Luka Doncic in wildly different ways.

On Arenas' podcast Gil's Arena, the former NBA star was very critical of Luka Doncic, and how he gets a pass from the critics compared to Jayson Tatum. In his mind, there seems to be this notion that Tatum is somehow a failure, while Doncic is compared to Michael Jordan. He sees this as completely unfair, given the fact that neither have won any titles. In fact, he sees Tatum's accomplishments as more significant.

Throughout the podcast episode, Arenas even compared Luka Doncic to someone like James Harden. Of course, Harden was an incredible scorer but was never known to be particularly useful in the playoffs.

"Jayson Tatum damn near can't be a superstar because a 25 year old can't win a championship. He's a young kid still, he went to the championship at the age of damn near 22, 23, 24. And then you have Luka over here, who's compared to Michael Jordan, and he's James Harden. He's literally James Harden, right, a dude who scored a lot of points, don't play no defense right. But we see what they did to James Harden who didn't play defense, they let the world know he didn't play no defense. They let the world know he was a one-sided player that this is all he does, he's just a stat.»
