The former Washington Wizards guard
fueled speculation about his relationship with the platformafter Skip Bayless,
fresh off his First Takecomeback, was spotted sitting in his seat during the conference finals while Arenas streamed separately. Bayless was
originally brought in to work on a football show alongside Arenas, not to host the basketball operation that made
Gil’s Arena what it is. But there he was, in Arenas’ seat, during the biggest series of the NBA postseason.
“I’m not sure they like me anymore. I just, I don’t know,” Arenas said at the time. “I’m just going to let you all know. No different than NBA. Just remember this, chat, words are powerful, just like in the NBA. When people start writing the team is better without them, that player reads it, that player believes it, that player starts acting like it.”
Now, Arenas is back on stream from a new personal studio, and the comments that felt emotional last week suddenly carry a lot more weight. His deal with Underdog is almost up, and when it ends, the Gil’s Arena name goes with him.
“I think I said this like a couple of months ago that my contract is up this year, and then after my contract’s up, I will own the name of my show,”
Arenas said on stream. “I thought I said that, and I think they purposely nobody wanted to listen.”
