Ever since retiring from the NBA, Gilbert Arenas has carved out an interesting lane for himself in the sports media world. He has his show Gil's Arena, which has become a go-to destination for NBA commentary. Meanwhile, he has a show with Nick Young called We Said What We Said, which appears to be their own take on Cam'ron & Mase's It Is What It Is.
On the latest episode of this show, Arenas and Young were asked about Ayesha Curry's new Roku movie, Second Chance Holiday. This movie has been making the rounds on social media, as Curry kisses her co-star in the film. Curry has received criticism in the past for her comments about not getting approached by other men as a married woman. Consequently, NBA fans were quick to make snide comments about her foray into acting.
Arenas was part of this, as he aimed at Curry on his show. As you will hear in the clip below, the former NBA star compared Curry to other NBA wives, and said she does not fit the mould.
What Did Gilbert Arenas Say About Ayesha Curry?
Arenas went so far as to call Ayesha Curry a "blemish" for Steph. Arenas claims Steph Curry does everything the right way. He gets sneaker deals, he's good with his kids, he averages 30, and he wins championships. However, in Arenas' estimation, his wife is the one who is bringing everything down.
Moreover, Arenas stated that LeBron James would never tolerate this kind of thing from Savannah James. It's the kind of comment that has been made over and over again in regard to Ayesha, and Arenas is joining the discourse machine.
Ayesha Curry received intense scrutiny in 2016. This was the first time she appeared on people's radars. During the NBA Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers mounted an impressive comeback. In the midst of this, she had some harsh words for the officiating. Stephen A. Smith was one of the people who criticized her at the time. Furthermore, the commentary was much the same. People said Savannah would never do something similar. It was misogynistic commentary, and apparently, some things never change.
