Who could he be talking about?
Gilbert Arenas recently opined as to why NBA players are often linked to strippers, just two days after former adult film star Moriah Mills threatened to release alleged Zion Williamson sex tapes.
“The NBA… you have basically 22 hours every single day trying not to get in trouble,” the former three-time All-Star said during a recent appearance on “The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone,” explaining how NBA players’ schedules hinder their ability to meet women.
“We practice for about and hour, hour and a half, then the next 22 Horus until we see you again, try not to get in trouble with all this god damn money and fame you got.

“… We have all the free time while everybody’s at work. So if you’re not married… think about the other sex that’s free between noon and seven o’clock: Strippers, Instagram models that ain’t got s–t to do in life.
“All the sophisticated women at work. They at work.”
Arenas continued on with his rant while Bulls guard Patrick Beverley and his co-host laughed.
“… Why you think we in the malls? Subconsciously, ‘S–t, strippers gotta get their outfits pretty soon. They just woke up and they gotta get an outfit for the night,’” Arenas said.

“But that’s serious. They be like, ‘How come y’all ain’t meeting a nice lady?’ S–t, they’re at work when we’re out… By the time we meet, we’re meeting at the club. Now we really gotta guess which one is which.
“Other than that, our schedules match up with the worst people, the worst women in life.”

Although there was no mention of Williamson, 22, Arenas’ comments were indicative of the Pelicans star’s situation with Mills which has played out publicly in recent weeks.
Earlier this month, Mills went off in a fiery Twitter rant and claimed she had recent sexual relations with Williamson following the news he’s expecting a baby girl with his apparent girlfriend.
Mills has called for the Pelicans to trade Williamson in her tirades, amid rumors he could be moved before Thursday’s NBA Draft, and recently claimed alleged sex tapes will be “dropping soon.”
That message was Mills’ final tweet before Twitter suspended her account on Tuesday.

Twitter has not disclosed the reason why Mills’ account was suspended other than for an unspecified violation of the platform’s rules.
Mills posted a curious message Wednesday on Instagram that read, “I guess i have to be the villain in this script.”
