Gilbert Arenas was all smiles as he left jail Wednesday following his arrest for allegedly running high-stakes illegal poker games.
A video posted to X shows the former NBA star dancing and celebrating as he exited what appears to be a Los Angeles detention facility.
Dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, Arenas grinned at the camera and declared, “They can’t hold me,” after posting $50,000 bond.

Federal prosecutors allege that Arenas and five others hosted underground poker games at his Encino mansion from September 2021 to July 2022.
They reportedly turned the home into a full-fledged gambling venue, hiring staff like chefs, security, and waitresses to attract high-end players.
Authorities say the group profited by collecting a “rake” – a fee taken from each pot. Arenas has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
