On December 19, Beijing time, Arenas had a brief peak period in his career, which made him one of the legends on the basketball court. However, his peak period was too short to be regrettable. If his career had been longer, he might have been able to do more.
Arenas reached his peak when he played for the Washington Wizards in 2003-04. He averaged 29 points per game7 points and a shooting percentage of 454%, and the three-point shooting percentage is also 369%。His performance reminded people of Michael Jordan because of his scoring ability and offensive prowess.
However, Arenas' peak was too short-lived. In the 2004-05 season, he played only 55 games due to injury, and his points per game average dropped to 255 points. Although he was still averaging 20+ points per game after returning from the 2005-06 season, his performance was no longer comparable to his peak.
Arenas has faced Bryant several times in his career, and in one of those games he scored 60 points. The game was on December 19, 2004, when Arenas' Washington Wizards hosted Kobe's Los Angeles Lakers. In this game, Arenas played well, finishing with 60 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Bryant also had 41 points, eight rebounds and 11 assists. In the end, the Washington Wizards, played by Arenas, defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, played by Kobe Bryant, 147-141.
While the Washington Wizards, for whom Arenas plays, emerged victorious in this game, the Los Angeles Lakers, for whom Kobe Bryant played, emerged victorious in the following games. Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers had a 56-26 record that season, while Arenas' Washington Wizards had a 37-45 record.
Arenas had a short period of prime, but he had a number of great performances in his career. The Washington Wizards he played for became a very competitive team under his leadership. However, his injury problems have prevented him from continuing to be at his peak, which is also regrettable.
If Arenas had had a longer career, he might have been able to do more. However, the game of basketball is a team sport, and the strength of one person cannot change the outcome of the entire game. Although Arenas' Washington Wizards had some victories under his leadership, in the end they couldn't compete with a strong team like the Los Angeles Lakers, where Kobe Bryant played.
Although Arenas' prime was short, his career was full of excitement and legend. The Washington Wizards he played for became a very competitive team under his leadership. His scoring ability and offensive prowess are excellent, which makes him one of the legends on the basketball court. Although his career was full of regrets and disappointments, his wonderful performances remain in people's memory.
