The WNBA offseason is here, but the drama is far from over. This time, Los Angeles star Lexie Brown has taken center stage, speaking out against a group of hosts from Gilbert Arenas’ show. Brown’s candid remarks have sparked conversations, adding another layer of intrigue to the basketball world during the league’s downtime.

A video clip from Sparks guard Lexie Brown’s appearance on Gil’s Arena podcast, recently surfaced on X. The footage revealed Brown seemingly disconnected from a conversation about the best players in the game, a discussion that took an unexpected turn. During the segment, the hosts appeared to poke fun at Brown’s playing abilities. At one point, Gilbert Arenas even commented, “You’ve been getting a little sassy lately.”

Despite the jab, Brown remained composed, though it was clear she wasn’t pleased with the consistent mockery. However, she didn’t choose to remain silent once stepped out of the show and has expressed her disappointment on social media, calling out NBA legends Arenas and Rashad McCants for being rude.

She retweeted that clip on X and wrote, “kept it cute and kept it moving. y’all can say whatever yall want about how i hoop…i do not care 😂😂😂😂 he was rude the entire time.” It was a response that showed she wasn’t afraid to speak up, even if she remained composed on air. The latest season saw Brown featuring in 16 games, starting 8 of them. She clocked an average of 23.7 minutes and scored 8.1 points per game.

Away from the court, Brown has been one of the frequent hosts on the Gil’s Arena alongside Josiah Johnson, Brandon Jennings, Kenyon Martin, and Rashad McCants for over a year now. They have disagreed on takes multiple times, including the time when Arenas argued Caitlin Clark was being disrespected in the league, been on the same page a lot more, and even showed up to cheer the Sparks #4 when she struggled. So the instance today might come off a bit disappointing.

Gilbert Arena’s and Co. rooted for LA Sparks’ Lexie Brown

Los Angeles Sparks’ star Lexie Brown got a special shoutout during their May game against the Dallas Wings. Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas, along with his crew, showed up to the Crypto.com Arena to cheer on the home team. But Arenas and his friends didn’t just blend into the crowd. They came prepared as all of them sported custom black t-shirts, each with a different letter printed on them.

When they stood together, their shirts transformed into a giant “LEXIE!” message. It was a fun and eye-catching way to show their love for the Sparks player. And Brown did not disappoint! Coming off the bench, she delivered a stellar performance, racking up 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists. Her all-around game was a key factor in securing the Sparks’ victory.

Brown was on the rise in 2023, showcasing her talent as a key player for the Los Angeles Sparks. However, her promising season was cut short due to a Crohn’s disease diagnosis. This debilitating illness significantly impacted her ability to perform at a professional level. Despite her determination, her body struggled to cope with the physical demands of basketball.

Faced with uncertainty about her future, Brown received unwavering support from her team. She underwent multiple surgeries and relied on medication to manage her condition. Through perseverance and dedication, she’s made significant strides in her recovery and is gradually returning to the court. However, it seems she was not ready to take jokes on Gilbert Arenas’ show, as despite remaining calm on show, her social media tweet speaks louder of her sentiments.
