Gilbert Arenas adds yet another controversy to his extensive collection

Gilbert Arenas

Gilbert Arenas is a bottomless pit when it comes to stepping in puddles. He was when his career was going through the NBA with more background noise than usual, and that’s how it has continued once he retired and dedicated to podcasts and feeding content to his YouTube channels.

There is no appearance of the former NBA three-time All-Star in which he does not get into trouble.

In fact, recently, he criticized Manu Ginobili (“don’t compare me to fucking Ginobili, he was a bench player”, he even said) and ended up crossing statements on social networks with Chapu Nocioni, who was the one who answered him most vehemently. He also had the solution for the NBA to defend more: “Get rid of European players”.

But the latest from the cool and mischievous NBA point guard has been his advice for Instagram models and people dedicated to adult entertainment to earn up to $60,000 a month for having sex with some NBA players. The idea would be to leverage relationships with the league’s players for financial gain.

BEATRIZ GUZMÁN.

Arenas‘ talk took place on his show ‘No Chill Gil’, and the advice was aimed at women aged 18 to 35 suggesting a strategy to have a relationship with an NBA player for lucrative financial gain: “Let’s say, four, if you f**k four guys a year or three guys a year. I’m telling you between 18 and 35, treat it like a business. Get yourself some NBA players, get yourself three players.”

Arenas continued with his surreal explanation: “Think about it. The NBA player at the very least will pay you about five thousand dollars a month just to f***. Five thousand dollars a month. So if you have three of them, that’s $15,000 a month, that’s at a minimum.”

Then ‘Agent Zero’ gives some names as examples and gives more details about the business, “If we’re talking about people like James Harden…. Paul George or something like that. You’re talking 10, 20 grand a month just for sex and you might have to sleep with a friend maybe twice a month, three times a month, right?”. The end is delusional: “With those guys, three times a month, depending, you make 60 grand a month. What job, what education are you going to get between the ages of 20 and 35 that’s going to pay you 60 grand a month?”

In reality these tips Arenas gives are a business strategy that the former player is probably exploring. He has contacts with players in the League and could take it upon himself, as he has said, to propel relationships with women for financial gain. All this in an NBA that has in its rookie program precisely a section to inform rookies of the dangers they will encounter in terms of women looking for easy money.

Arenas has deservedly earned himself a reputation for controversy. His career was punctuated by injury and non-sports problems, but it was his possession of guns and keeping them in his locker while playing for the Wizards that nearly ended his NBA career.

By having them there and displaying them, he violated team and even District of Columbia laws and came close to ending up behind bars.

Later, a large part of his $111 million contract signed by Washington was cashed in when he was no longer in the NBA, in one of the worst team trades in the league in recent memory.
