Or what about the idiotic post he made saying women should wear thong bikinis to get more people to watch them play basketball. I used to love the way that Tony Kornheiser would destroy him when possible when he played for the Wizards. He thinks Arenas is a clown and is glad to go in on him.

Again, Arenas says things to get clicks, how do people not see that.

Defend Lebron. Not defend in the league.

Saying something controversial gets more likes and views. Honestly I'm starting to believe that this is the NBA's new angle on things with this being the summer of cap. Now let's all tune into TNT this fall for more drama.
My opinion may not be your opinion or their opinion but I have it.

Oh, I remember that. So, he is basically a bad guy from Shehulk? To be fair, havent even watched the show, but I have seen the clips. From those stories, Arenas looks like misogynistic piece of crap really, no way of spinning this differently. I don't know what goes in these dudes mind, when they suggest women should play in thongs and stuff, don't they realize it is such offensive objectifying? Not even pretending to think women are people too.

I used to think that everything associated with the World Wide Web was good and it was great that everybody had access to a platform where they could easily he heard by millions of people rather than hoping the main media outlets gave it to you. Now I can't believe I actually miss when not every Tom, Dick and Harry with a podcast or YT channel was able to get coverage and attention. It's too many voices now.

Arenas is just like SAS or Skip, he's just a jester clowning around for attention.

Arenas would be a no-name by now if it wasn't for the Crittenton incident. What a clown.

I wish you hadn’t made this thread because it isn’t worth discussing at all.

Arenas is hilarious. I love seeing dudes getting their panties in a twist because of him. All of you guys posting on message boards haven’t achieved an ounce of what he’s done in life and it kills you.

You are all missing the point. The gist of it is, whoever he is talking about, he isn't on Lebron's level. Simple facts.

He could also be talking about Steph Curry regarding the 32-34 minute per game statement. Would be dumb if he is though. Cause Curry is one of the GOATs.

The true greats like Shaq, Kobe, Magic, Zeke, and Chuck recognise how great Giannis is.

The bitter guys who never reached greatness like Arenas, McGrady, Stak, and Oakley shhit on him.

Giannis could play 60 minutes per night if it was just playing one side of the ball like Lebron been doing lately.

Arenas always says stupid things. Dude is a misogynistic sad troll boy.

Anytime who puts RESPEK on his name doesn't keep it 100.

There is nothing wrong with being stupid or an idiot. We can't help which IQ or parents we're born with.

The irony here is Gil himself only played 3 seasons above 38mpg. After his last season, at age 25, he spent the rest of his career either injured or (IIRC) suspended.

So I dunno, maybe there's something to not grinding your body into dust if you don't have to?

The embarrassing part is anyone who took the time to listen to Gilbert Arenas.
