Chalk one up for the dads ad the netizens rounded up on Gilbert Arenas after he criticized Rudy Gobert for opting to miss Game 2 of the Nuggets vs Timberwolves game.
Gobert was absent as the Timberwolves beat the Buggeys to go 2-0 up in their conference semifinals due to the birth of his first child, back in Minneapolis.
Arenas misread the moment when he said, “It’s a baby bro, it’s gonna be there when you get back … I’m just saying,” Arenas said. “Whatever you think you about to do with the baby, he’s gonna be asleep.”
Talking on Gils Arena Show co-host Brandon Jennings continued the diatribe.
“Right on the —–,” he said
“Right on the —– the whole time. Milk.”
“I get it, I hear you want to be with your wife and smile and stuff, but your good NBA health care, insurance is because of you playing,” Arenas said.
Comments on socials were fast and loose.
Bro, this man @GilsArenaShow continues to sound like the biggest idiot I’ve ever seen. Basketball is short lived, a child is for life. There’s more to life than a stupid game. Stupid clown.”
And that is one of the sweet, polite responses.
Another read, “Expected him to miss the birth of your FIRST child?? I’d lose respect for a man if he told me he’d rather work than see his child being born.”
Arenas is no stranger to controversy and his latest take will have new age parents fuming at his old school thinking. But then again, who needs boring talking heads?
