Nate Robinson Fires Back at Gilbert Arenas' Sexist WNBA Statement

Nate Robinson reminds us what love and basketball really means.

Earlier this week, human trash compactor and forgotten memory Gilbert Arenas posted a video of models playing basketball in thongs, suggesting that WNBA players should follow suit, instead of "looking like,cast members from#orangeisthenewblack." There are so many places to start with that one, but let's let Nate Robinson take the high road for us.

naterobinsonI usually stay in my own lane but this was so uncalled for in so many ways… One cause I have a daughter who loves hoop, & one day she might want to make it to the WNBA one day, hoop is hoop no matter what a woman looks like …#LORD4giveusall

Today, Robinson took to Instagram to condemn Arenas' gross statement by invoking his daughter's love of hoops. Just a classy move from the 5'9" baller, who clearly loves his sport and cares about the future of women, as he is raising one himself.
