Pistons Player Calls Out Gilbert Arenas After Criticism

The Detroit Pistons are a team on the rise in the Eastern Conference as they’ve assembled a good collection of young talent that is expected to lead the franchise.

The Pistons have Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey to lead the backcourt, while they also boast Ausar Thompson and Jalen Duren as complementary pieces that can grow into stars in their own right.

Detroit also has a solid big man rotation featuring Marvin Bagley, James Wiseman, and Isaiah Stewart.

Stewart in particular has shown some intriguing upside during his young career with the Pistons as a rebounder and even as a floor spacer.

Stewart is also not afraid to mix it up as he famously charged at LeBron James during a home game a couple of seasons ago.

The incident prompted reactions from people like Gilbert Arenas and Stewart took exception to some of the former NBA All-Star’s comments via his Instagram account.

Arenas has not been afraid to speak his mind on social media and his podcast and it’s clear at this point that Stewart took exception with what he said about him.

Arenas suggested that Stewart was crazy for charging James and that he should prepare to be traded as a result.

It’s hard to blame Stewart for being upset with Arenas and he himself didn’t hold back on his Instagram story.

The feud is one of the odder ones in the NBA right now, and knowing how fans react to this stuff there will likely be more of it in the coming weeks.
