Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas has found himself at the center of a heated internet debate regarding Rudy Gobert.
On Monday. the Timberwolves announced that Gobert would miss game 2 of the team’s playoff series while his girlfriend, Julia Bonilla, gave birth to their first child.
“It’s a baby bro, it’s gonna be there when you get back, whatever you think you’re going to do with the baby, he’s going to be asleep. I know you want to be with your wife and smile and stuff, your good NBA healthcare insurance is because that you’re playing.”

It didn’t take long for fans to crush Arenas over his comments/
There isn’t a single job I would have been okay with missing the birth of my children for. I applaud Rudy Gobert for truly knowing what is important in life. This is loser energy by Gilbert Arenas, one fan commented.
“Yeah see after watching my wife give birth to our daughter I’d never let her go through all that alone to play a damn game. Yall can judge me how you want but family comes first. I can tell dude doesn’t have his priority’s straight” said NY Giants offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor.
It’s clear that Arenas struck a chord with fans over his Gobert hot take.
