Since moving on to a career as an analyst via his podcast, Gilbert Arenas has been known to let out some outlandish takes. Over the weekend, he didn't hold back his true thoughts regarding recent comments by an NBA journeyman. Most summers, international players depart from their NBA teams to return home and play for their country's national team. Among those who have done so regularly for Germany is veteran point guard Dennis Schroder. As international play ensues right now, he made some choice remarks about playing on the international stage. Reflecting on his expeirence playing for the national team, Schroder noted that he'll never get the same love and admirmation as Hall of Famer Dirk Nowitzki. He believes that the main standing in the way of this is the color of his skin.

He bluntly agreed that skin color could be an issue in this situation. "That's obvious, duh," Arenas said. "You're too dark, I get it. That makes sense." In his time with the German national team, Schroder has helped deliver them a pair of medals. They took home a gold medal in the World Cup in 2023 and won bronze in EuroBasket in 2022. Gilbert Arenas defends Kobe Bryant following Jeff Teague's comments In that same live stream, Gilbert Arenas came to the defense of LA Lakers legend Kobe Bryant. He did so after fellow former player Jeff Teague slighted some of the Hall of Fame guard's accomplishments. While on his Club520 podcast, Teague stated that he doesn't feel Bryant should be named to 12 All-Defensive teams. "If you made it once or twice or three times, they just start putting you on there," Teague said. "I played Kobe bro, he wasn't guarding like that." Vévo @vevosuaveLINKTeague talking about Kobe’s All Defensive SelectionsBased on his experiences playing against Bryant, Gilbert Arenas feels he is more than deserving of such accolades. "From what I seen him do to the two guards on our team," Arenas said. "Yeah, he was like that. He shut a n**** down." joebuddenclips/fanpage @Chatnigga101LINKGilbert Arenas shares his thoughts on Jeff Teague saying Kobe Bryant didn’t deserve the amount of all defensive teams he got while playing for the Lakers.From 1999 to 2012, Bryant found himself on an All-Defense team in every season but one (2005). What makes this feat even more impressive is that in nine of the 12 instances, he was named to the All-Defense First Team. Even though the majority of his career was played in the Eastern Conference, the minimal matchups were more than enough for Arena to give Bryant his credit on that end of the floor.
