NBA-ийн од тоглогчид нэг бөмбөгтэй тоглоход асуудал үүснэ гэх таамаглалыг Гилберт Аренас үгүйсгэж, багийн амжилтад хувийн тоо баримтаас илүүтэйгээр хамтын ажиллагаа чухал болохыг онцоллоо.
Филадельфия 76 багт Жоел Эмбийд, Тайриз Макси, Жэйлен Браун, Леброн Жэймс нар нэгдсэнтэй холбоотойгоор бөмбөг эзэмшилт, шидэлтийн хуваарилалт болон довтолгооны шатлалын талаарх асуултууд олны анхаарлыг татаж байна. Гэвч Гилберт Аренас энэ асуудлыг хэт дэвэргэж байна хэмээн үзэж, шийдэл нь ердөө л бөмбөгөө дамжуулах явдал гэж мэдэгджээ.
Тэрээр Бостон Сэлтикс багийн бүрэлдэхүүнд 2024 оны улиралд аварга болсон Жэйлен Брауны туршлагыг жишээ болгон дурдав. Браун нь Жэйсон Тэйтумтай хамт тоглохдоо довтолгооныг өөрөө удирдахын зэрэгцээ бусдын гаргасан боломжийг ашиглаж, үр дүнтэй тоглох чадвараа харуулсан билээ. Тухайн цувралд тэрээр 20.8 оноо, 5.4 самбараас бөмбөг авалт, 5.0 дамжуулалт дунджилж, Дорнод бүсийн финал болон NBA-ийн финалын үнэ цэнтэй тоглогчоор шалгарсан юм.
Филадельфия 76-ийн хувьд Жоел Эмбийд багийн гол супер од хэвээр үлдэх төлөвтэй байгаа бөгөөд довтолгоо түүний эргэн тойронд өрнөх ёстой гэж Аренас үзэж байна. Энэ нь бусад од тоглогчид зөвхөн ажиглагч болно гэсэн үг биш, харин олон тооны ур чадвартай тоглогчдыг нэгэн зорилгын дор нэгтгэж, бөмбөг эзэмшилтийг тэнцүү хуваахаас илүүтэйгээр багийн давуу тал болгон ашиглах нь чухал юм.

Gilbert Arenas is not buying the argument that Philadelphia’s collection of stars will create an offensive problem simply because there is only one basketball.
With the 76ers bringing together Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown and LeBron James, questions about touches, shot distribution and offensive hierarchy have naturally followed. Arenas believes the solution is far less complicated than the discussion surrounding it.
“What the f***ing problem is? Pass the ball,” Arenas said while addressing concerns about whether Philadelphia has enough possessions to satisfy everyone.
Gilbert Arenas on the narrative that there aren’t enough basketballs to go around for the Philadelphia 76ers to become champions:

His larger point was that elite teams have always required accomplished scorers to adjust their responsibilities. Arenas specifically pointed toward Brown’s championship experience in Boston as evidence that an established star can remain highly effective without controlling every possession.
Brown spent years alongside Jayson Tatum and became an increasingly devastating scorer attacking defenses after the initial action had already shifted their positioning. During Boston’s 2024 championship run, he won Eastern Conference Finals MVP and then NBA Finals MVP, averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists in the Finals against Dallas.
Arenas’ description of Brown simply waiting in the corner should not be taken literally as a complete representation of his role on those Celtics teams. Brown handled the ball extensively, initiated offense and attacked in isolation. The broader basketball argument, however, is clear: Brown has already demonstrated that he can thrive alongside another high-usage superstar while exploiting advantages created elsewhere on the floor.
That experience could become particularly valuable in Philadelphia.
Brown was acquired from Boston in July in exchange for Paul George and draft compensation, joining an already talented core featuring Embiid and Maxey. Philadelphia subsequently added James, creating one of the league’s most accomplished collections of offensive talent.
Brown himself has already acknowledged that the arrangement will demand sacrifice, saying after arriving in Philadelphia that winning will require players to prioritize team success over individual numbers.
For Arenas, the hierarchy also begins with Embiid. Despite the former MVP’s injury history, Arenas still views him as Philadelphia’s primary superstar and believes the offense should continue flowing through him when he is available.
That does not mean Maxey, Brown or James suddenly become spectators. It means Philadelphia will have to turn an abundance of creators into an advantage rather than treating touches as something that must be divided equally.
The Sixers’ challenge therefore may not be finding enough basketballs. It will be convincing four elite offensive players that the same basketball does not always have to belong to them.
