Gilbert Arenas and his crew are back with another statement. This time, the crew of Gil’s Arena talked about the Chris Paul incident. The Golden State Warriors star was issued a technical foul for his behavior during the team’s loss at home to the Indiana Pacers.
Chris Paul faced ejection in the closing seconds of the game. This came after he received his second technical foul. He spoke to the media about the reason for the ejection. It was a weird reason to eject someone as well. Gilbert Arenas didn’t have any of it. Further, he used his platform to question what the NBA Commissioner would do about it. He said:
You on TikTok, TikTokin’, then you get mad I call you a TikToker? And Adam Silver is not gonna do nothing about none of this. Gilbert Arenas via Gil’s Arena
Arenas did make a fair statement. An ejection of this kind has no place in basketball. After speaking to the media, Chris Paul went ahead and posted a TikTok video of Tony Brothers on his Instagram social media page.
Apparently, by the look of things, the official got worried about his TikTok popularity and then saw it as warranting a technical foul for CP3. However, Arenas, known for his candid comments, could not resist the urge to make a mockery out of the situation.
Chris Paul says ‘TikTok’ referee has too much powers
Chris Paul had revealed the reason why he got ejected following his team’s 123-111 loss at the hands of the Indiana Pacers. It was a moment that even stunned Coach Steve Kerr. Chris Paul further shed more light on his thoughts about the famous match official.
Paul explained what transpired during the press conference. This is what he shared:
I called him a TikToker and I got a tech. That was the first one. I just said 'TikToker,' and he gave me a tech. Second one I just said he has too much power, you know what I mean. He gave me another tech. He the judge, the jury and all that. Chris Paul via post-game interview
The officials in any sports have caused uproar amongst the fans. However, some NBA officials have repeatedly done worse things imaginable. CP3 has a history of clashing with the referees. Nevertheless, the Warriors were on their way to a home loss before the ejection. Hence, it did not affect the game all that much. Paul ended the game with 12 points, six rebounds, and four assists in the loss against the Pacers.
