Gilbert Arenas gets roasted for his bizarre Jalen Brunson take

Not only was Arenas heckled by the live audience, but many social media users pointed out the ridiculous standards Arenas was setting and dismissed his comments as engagement bait.

Brunson did have the opportunity to get a Nike signature shoe. He declined, however, because he simply prefers to wear Kobes for the rest of his career.

Even if that was not the case, Arenas’ argument is ridiculous. Victor Wembanyama does not yet have his own shoe line, but Austin Reaves does. Nobody would ever argue that Reaves is more of a superstar than Wembanyama is.

Ultimately, Arenas is not the first to doubt Brunson’s star power. Brunson has made it pretty clear that he doesn’t care, and keeps proving those critics wrong.
