Former NBA guard Gilbert Arenas is criticized for a xenophobic rant following Team USA’s narrow exhibition win over South Sudan’s national basketball team.
Arenas took to TikTok, where he criticized Team USA’s performance, saying the “males almost lost to some Africans and ‘The King’ had to save us,” referring to LeBron James’ game-winning layup.
Arenas also disparaged South Sudan, commenting on their quality of life and comparing them to the Jamaican bobsled team from the 1988 Winter Olympics.
“This is crazy, man Embiid over there, throwing the game for his cousins and s–t,” Arenas said at one point.
