“That’s Like Stephen A. Smith Knowing More About It Than Us”: Former NBA Stars Berate 4X Pro Bowl CB’s Wife for No WNBA Experience

Retired Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas’ media career has skyrocketed in 2023 with his hot takes and honest opinions. His podcast Gil’s Arena has gained huge traction in a very short span, and fans eagerly wait for his takes on all the recent happenings of the NBA world. In the latest episode of Gil’s Arena, things got a little heated between former NBA player Rashad McCants and Arenas’ co-host Miko Grimes, the wife of former NFL cornerback Brent Grimes.

During a discussion about leadership in the NBA, McCants and Grimes’ disagreement led to a fiery debate, and things got a little personal.

Din and Digs in Gilbert Arenas’ Debate

During the episode, the panel brought up a topic about leadership asking, “Is it a star player’s responsibility to be the team leader?” After Arenas gave his thoughts on the question, Miko Grimes chimed in saying, “There are more than one ways you can lead, and you can have more than one leader.”

Things started to get heated when McCants called Russell Westbrook the best player on the Clippers team and was interrupted by Grimes because she disagreed with McCants’ point.

The discussion took an unexpected turn when McCants brought up his NBA experience as a player and discredited Grimes’ opinion because she lacked the experience of playing in the WNBA. McCants told Grimes, “You never played in the pros. You never played in the WNBA.”

It was all downhill from there, as Grimes and McCants started taking shots at each other’s career and professional achievements.

As the argument escalated, Arenas tried to lighten the mood with some jokes and grabbed a packet of Doritos to enjoy during the show.

McCants tried to end the argument by taking a dig at Grimes, “That’s like Stephen A. Smith knowing more about it than us”. This rubbed Grimes the wrong way, and she quickly replied, “I am not Stephen A. Smith, I am Miko Grimes.”

Grimes might not have played in the WNBA, but she has played professional basketball for 6 years in 4 different countries. This, along with her journalism experience, has earned her a spot as the co-host of the show. McCants on the other hand was a player in the NBA from 2005 to 2009 and played three seasons for the Minnesota Timberwolves. So, who are you siding with in this argument?
