Recently, Gilbert Arenas shared his warm opinion about All-Star forward Khris Middleton. This prompted former Milwaukee Bucks star Brandon Jennings to defend him, dropping his own fiery response.
Arenas recently sparked controversy with his comments about Middleton during a podcast discussion. Analyzing Milwaukee’s performance, Arenas sarcastically compared the NBA to two Los Angeles Lakers players, Austin Reaves and D’Angelo Russell.
The comparison was met with edged criticism from former NBA star Brandon Jennings, who defended the All-Star’s capabilities and achievements. Arenas argued that Jennings used the NBA star as a denial of Milwaukee’s struggles, suggesting the team was making excuses due to injury.
He suggested that Middleton being the third option should not be used as an excuse for the team’s performance. This dismissive characterization did not sit well with Jennings, who emphasized that he was a much better player compared to Reaves and Russell.

In his heated response, Jennings stated: “You’re comparing Austin Reaves and D’Angelo Russell to Khris Middleton? Get the fuck out of here.” He passionately defended the Milwaukee star, saying he has proven he will play a key role, especially during Milwaukee’s 2021 championship run. Jennings highlighted the striker’s achievements, confirming that he has consistently performed in high-pressure situations.
