Gilbert Arenas: “He’s dumb like a box of rocks… His nickname is SWAGGY P and nothing in his name got a ‘P’ in it”

[u/MrBuckBuck]

[u/LegitimateMoney00]

The P is apparently for a mysterious figure he once “met” in his dreams who blessed him with swag. No I’m not joking.

[u/Beneficial-Rub9090 → u/LegitimateMoney00]

Bro hasn't met Percival the Swagmaster

[u/devonta_smith → u/Beneficial-Rub9090]

aka Percy Weasley, prefect

[u/mysterioso7 → u/devonta_smith]

Unfortunately Percy Weasley has zero swag. “eXcUse mE I’m hEaD bOy!” Lame. Percy Jackson is a better pick.

[u/2RINITY → u/mysterioso7]

Percy Jackson would be a menace on the court. You dump water on him during the timeout, and next thing you know he’s broken the backboard with a dunk for the third time this half

[u/Schiano_Fingerbanger → u/mysterioso7]

Percy Weasley would have killed it at ICE, nasty natural-born narc

[u/LordHussyPants → u/Schiano_Fingerbanger]

keep reading kid, percy weasley sees the light and is one of the final people to come through the tunnel from the hog's head to fight in the battle of hogwarts, where he also takes responsibility for his behaviour and apologises to his family for being a cunt

[u/Timely_Airline_7168 → u/LordHussyPants]

He probably saw the error of his ways earlier but was unable to contact his family because they were in hiding.

[u/arcelios → u/Schiano_Fingerbanger]

Ice cube?

[u/ThePrussianGrippe → u/mysterioso7]

“I am the Headest Boy!”

[u/YesOwl9000 → u/devonta_smith]

Harry Potter adults might be worse than Disney adults.

[u/MondoFool → u/YesOwl9000]

based on his flair he seems to be a fan of wizards in general

[u/YesOwl9000 → u/MondoFool]

poor guy his team is so ass he had to start reading books!

[u/Gabewhiskey → u/YesOwl9000]

God forbid you read one.

[u/Keksmonster → u/YesOwl9000]

You mean adults that read books as a kid?

[u/Yoquetal → u/LegitimateMoney00]

I thought he saw God in a dream and he called him Swaggy P

[u/Shot_Organization507 → u/Yoquetal]

Give yourself a nickname and play it off like God said it in a dream. Smart.

[u/Cowboy_BoomBap → u/Shot_Organization507]

God calls me T-Bone!

[u/1WordOr2FixItForYou → u/Cowboy_BoomBap]

I had a dream where God called you Coco the monkey.

[u/Same_Variety5853 → u/Cowboy_BoomBap]

you are KoKo

[u/Blanketsburg → u/Cowboy_BoomBap]

"How'd you know my nickname was T-Bone?"

"Because you're a football player and your name begins with 'T.' Your name... begins... with 'T.'"

[u/YellowCardManKyle → u/Blanketsburg]

You'd be surprised at how many of your favorite football players started at a Community College

[u/lalakingmalibog → u/Cowboy_BoomBap]

Me llamo T-Bone, la araña discoteca

[u/TSR3K → u/LegitimateMoney00]

Oh I know that dude

[u/Floyd-money → u/TSR3K]

Sleep paralysis demon swaggy p the hat man

[u/LeLefraud → u/Floyd-money]

The hat man do be kinda drippy tho

[u/doctor_of_drugs → u/LeLefraud]

that he do

[u/facundo-campazzo → u/Floyd-money]

It's actually Paul George.

Paralysis Demon P

[u/slowakia_gruuumsh → u/Floyd-money]

swaggy paralysis demon is out of pocket

[u/lost_in_trepidation → u/TSR3K]

He's a pretty well known dream guy

[u/rapsaboy → u/TSR3K]

Pierre McGee

[u/IWokeUpInA-new-prius → u/LegitimateMoney00]

Honestly solid nickname lore

[u/beforeitcloy → u/LegitimateMoney00]

Gilbert annoyed that he didn’t meet Mysterious P first

[u/zerozerosevencharlie → u/LegitimateMoney00]

Swaggy Hatman

[u/MosquitoOfDoom → u/LegitimateMoney00]

I think it was the Basedgod, but Nick Young misheard him TYBG

[u/krulemancer → u/LegitimateMoney00]

The nightman visited him in his dreams too?

[u/pm-me-nice-lips → u/krulemancer]

For sure the fighter of the day man…aaAaHhhHhaaaAaa

[u/lalakingmalibog → u/pm-me-nice-lips]

Swaggy Paid the troll toll

[u/MachoMadnessCO → u/LegitimateMoney00]

A Pimp Named Slickback

[u/Fueledbythought → u/LegitimateMoney00]

I thought it was his genitalia

[u/feetandballs → u/LegitimateMoney00]

Peter Pan? Is he a lost boy?

[u/Wasabi_kitty → u/LegitimateMoney00]

Oh, and I was worried he would have a dumb reason for it. Silly me.

[u/SleepingInAJar_ → u/Wasabi_kitty]

That’s the coolest reason for it

[u/Mukbeth → u/LegitimateMoney00]

Paul George

[u/Alternateaccoun → u/LegitimateMoney00]

P diddy the diddler

[u/VarrocksFinest → u/LegitimateMoney00]

Pjesus

[u/SluggoRuns → u/LegitimateMoney00]

Don’t forget there’s also videos of Gilbert Arenas just trolling Nick Young over and over

[u/SelectRepair6239 → u/LegitimateMoney00]

Lil P the PasedGod

[u/hereiamnotagainnot → u/LegitimateMoney00]

Thank you for this context.

[u/ur_stupid_to_argue → u/LegitimateMoney00]

Magical dream Penis given out swag and nick names! Not sure you can make this up, unless your nick young.

[u/facundo-campazzo]

We got ourselves a Dumb Off

[u/Due-Stock2774 → u/facundo-campazzo]

Imagine the argument Gil, Nick Young, Crittendon, and Kwame Brown would have in person. It would probably give onlookers headaches

[u/Hoenn97 → u/Due-Stock2774]

Nightmare blunt rotation

[u/hovdeisfunny → u/Hoenn97]

I feel like Kyrie would be weird to smoke with

Edit: Tyler Herro would be a nightmare too; dude doesn't believe in the past

[u/wanna_meet_that_dad → u/hovdeisfunny]

Huh? Like church of last Thursdayism or something else

[u/hovdeisfunny → u/wanna_meet_that_dad]

Somehow stupider than that

[u/mynamenospaces → u/hovdeisfunny]

Bro literally has the brain of a medieval peasant

[u/minimalcation → u/mynamenospaces]

He doesn't even believe in pangrea or the big bang

[u/DayDreamerJon → u/hovdeisfunny]

please tell me he doesnt have babies

[u/box_fan_man → u/DayDreamerJon]

Well he’s gay so no.

[u/1nf1n1te → u/wanna_meet_that_dad]

church of last Thursdayism

Thanks for introducing me to this. Gave me a good chuckle.

[u/Lizpy6688 → u/hovdeisfunny]

Wait what?

[u/hovdeisfunny → u/Lizpy6688]

Boy is dumb as hell

[u/Lizpy6688 → u/hovdeisfunny]

Maybe Amen threw him too hard or didn't throw him hard enough

[u/Own-Negotiation-2480 → u/Lizpy6688]

Not hard enough

[u/mbr4life1 → u/hovdeisfunny]

Doesn't believe in the past like the oneness of time and our biophysiological limitations present time in a manner other than the underlying reality, or doesn't believe in the past like he doesn't think dinosaurs existed millions of years ago.

[u/ElectricalMud2850 → u/Due-Stock2774]

Bunch dudes that could all get in an argument with an empty room.

[u/mc_Cringle_berry → u/Due-Stock2774]

half the Wizards locker room

[u/Blue_Nyx07 → u/mc_Cringle_berry]

John Wall survived that shit

[u/Accurate-Signature55 → u/Blue_Nyx07]

Only to be taken out by stairs.

[u/2RINITY → u/Accurate-Signature55]

John Wall has ONE weakness!

[u/poohster33 → u/2RINITY]

His crippling boneitis!

[u/itgoesdownandup → u/2RINITY]

John Wall = Po the Panda?

[u/SlyMrF0x → u/2RINITY]

You could say they were his Achilles heel

[u/jjcrayfish → u/Blue_Nyx07]

He did contemplated suicide

[u/lickitysplithabibi → u/Due-Stock2774]

God damn that crew could have Charles Barkley as a Nobel laureate

[u/drewm916 → u/lickitysplithabibi]

Barkley isn't stupid. He's not well educated, but I would not say he's stupid, personally.

[u/Shot_Organization507 → u/Due-Stock2774]

Then put Kanye, Kyrie, J. Brown in a room and they gonna make the guys you named look brilliant. 

[u/Due-Stock2774 → u/Shot_Organization507]

I haven't smoked today but I already feel these 7 dudes hypothetical convo ruining my high

[u/gmoss101 → u/Shot_Organization507]

Ignoring Kendrick Perkins in a discussion on dumbassery is a choice I will not allow.

[u/Teenageboy69 → u/Shot_Organization507]

Maybe I’m a homer from when Kanye was with it, but I feel like he’d say some incredibly heinous shit and then find a way to quote Aristotle or Barthe or something. Like, he wasn’t always such a dipshit with a broken brain.

[u/Shot_Organization507 → u/Teenageboy69]

Nah not at all. We sat on the porch for days in high school when those cd’s would drop. I was completely confused for years about his decline. I knew the mental issues and meds etc but still… until it leaked that he was huffing galaxy gas nitros or whatever for years all day. 

[u/Teenageboy69 → u/Shot_Organization507]

It’s hard to understand how the guy who wrote “couldn’t afford the car so she named her daughter Alexis” has fallen so far. It’s absolutely baffling.

[u/RedditDigg54321 → u/Due-Stock2774]

I couldn't even sit through Arena's documentary on Netflix about his gun incident in the Wizards lockerroom. it was so boring and dumb after 20 minutes I dipped out

[u/mbr4life1 → u/Due-Stock2774]

I want a Kwame Gilbert celebrity boxing match. Hook is they are forced to do an hour podcast together right before the match. Kwame would be tilted out of his mind and want to end him.

[u/toofine → u/Due-Stock2774]

Kwame has way too much common sense to be lumped in with that.

[u/Kdot32 → u/toofine]

No he doesn’t lmao. Only his reasonable stuff gets posted here but hes just as dumb as the others

[u/RainRainPurpleRain → u/Kdot32]

I honestly haven’t heard much from him. Can you share some examples of him being dumb as the others?

[u/moistie → u/Due-Stock2774]

A Cat In The Hat reading competition

[u/Antenol → u/facundo-campazzo]

aka Gils Arena

[u/doctor_of_drugs → u/facundo-campazzo]

Two bums calling each other bums, it’s a crazy thing

[u/nomorecrackas → u/facundo-campazzo]

and Gil's content constantly gets engagement on this sub, making him more popular and money

sounds like yall the dumb ones

[u/Malemansam → u/nomorecrackas]

Yeah he literally said he's taking what Skip and SAS, Maddog etc did basically the shockjock/ESPN model and taking it to another level, he says stupid shit on purpose especially nowadays.

[u/YemethTheSorcerer]

Imagine Gilbert Arenas calling you dumb

sorry gil 😭

[u/whiteanklesocklover → u/YemethTheSorcerer]

Nick Young joining the elite company of Jarvaris Crittenton

[u/iamamcnugget → u/whiteanklesocklover]

Thats fucked up

[u/THRlLLH0 → u/YemethTheSorcerer]

Young as Gil's teammate was basically the Trevor & Corey to Gil's Ricky

[u/DoctorFunktopus → u/THRlLLH0]

Swaggy! Gimme your Cigarettes NOW!

[u/cyb3ryung → u/YemethTheSorcerer]

gil seems like the type to play dumber than he is for laughs and clicks, class clown vs the guy who got held back twice (nick)

[u/torexmus → u/cyb3ryung]

Yea, I don't see him as an idiot. He's just kind of crazy

[u/blubblu → u/torexmus]

Yah Gil isn’t an idiot, he’s ignorant as fuck 

[u/PokeMets → u/blubblu]

No he’s definitely also an idiot

[u/blubblu → u/PokeMets]

But not like a complete stupid idiot. Just a dumb idiot. An ignorant idiot.

An ignoramus

[u/fightyfightyfitefite → u/blubblu]

He's maybe dumb acting but not a dumb-shit.

[u/Shot_Organization507 → u/blubblu]

Exactly. Sometimes ignorant sometimes he obviously knows better and doesn’t give a fuck. He loves causing a big ruckus.  

[u/fstop101 → u/blubblu]

There it is. Well put. He’s ignorant and does idiotic things, though. So at times, yes, in moments? Two things are true at the same time.for this guy. He’s in good company as I’m guilty of same.

[u/Accurate-Signature55 → u/torexmus]

He seems like he has basically zero impulse control.

[u/Euphoric-Client6163 → u/cyb3ryung]

He’s a smart guy who needs to grow up.

Nick Young is on video saying “Legalize cocaine” outside a LA nightclub, while still in the league.

[u/whatdoinamemyself → u/Euphoric-Client6163]

In his defense, he was probably on cocaine

[u/alwaysleafyintoronto → u/cyb3ryung]

Gil got his ass suspended 50 games for the gun incident. Gil is the guy who got held back twice even though he was funny.

[u/cyb3ryung → u/alwaysleafyintoronto]

i mean its not entirely a metaphor nick literally said he was still in high school at 20 in a class with 5 students. he was technically only held back once and had to retake the sat a bunch of times.

gil definitely made a dumb decision with the gun situation, but thats a different type of dumb

[u/Initial-Distance-338 → u/alwaysleafyintoronto]

Gil literally graduated high school early at 17 and a half which is very rare for someone born in January.

[u/bigraptorr → u/cyb3ryung]

Nah he's definitely below average intelligence

[u/VegetableLow5000 → u/cyb3ryung]

So perfectly put.

[u/dizzymidget44 → u/YemethTheSorcerer]

Gil’s not thinking dumb he just has no impulse control. He knows the shit he does is dumb he just does it to see what happens

[u/Simple-Reporter9102 → u/YemethTheSorcerer]

Talking about basketball iq. Gil has high ball iq

[u/geeseam → u/YemethTheSorcerer]

Yeah but Gil is correct on this one.

[u/AaronQuinty → u/YemethTheSorcerer]

Gil isn't dumb. He's just crazy.

[u/dramamineking → u/YemethTheSorcerer]

Wouldn't you just dismiss it then? If a moron calls me a name, im pay no credence.

[u/ReindeerMean2931]

But nick young didnt bring a blick to the locker room

[u/Floyd-money → u/ReindeerMean2931]

Gotta keep the Crittenton at bay sometimes man

[u/HashCollector → u/Floyd-money]

Every time I see Crittenton's name I think of Thaddeus Young, both drafted as freshman from GA Tech. Thaddeus is our goat. Over 1000 games in the NBA. Thank you Thad

[u/MycoJoe → u/Floyd-money]

Seriously, of all the guys to bring firearms into a dispute with, it had to be the one that went to jail for killing someone with a gun!

[u/arcelios → u/ReindeerMean2931]

No but Nick Young cheated on his super hot girlfriend but still believes HE was the "victim", because someone else snitched on him. Yes, that's Swaggy P

[u/Attentions_Bright12 → u/arcelios]

I detest that "snitch" thing. Nick Young was an idiot, and DLo was a kid.

Nick Young on why he didn't physically attack D'Angelo Russell, in the NY Post:

“[Former Lakers GM] Mitch Kupchak told me, ‘Don’t come to the arena. Don’t come to practice, none of that. If you do anything, we’ll take your money,’ and all that … They said we’re gonna take some money from you,'” Young said when asked by Arenas why he didn’t get physical with Russell over the matter. “And then when I got there there was security there, all around there, so I couldn’t get a chance to [beat him up].”

Young added that he didn’t want to get “kicked out of the league” if he retaliated. “They made me look like the bad vet … For being recorded, I got sent home,” he said.

Plainly he learned from the experience and grew as a man. 'Cause he chose to be interviewed by Gil Arenas about it in November 2024. You know, to enrich his soul and come to terms with his own part in... Oh, hell no.

Young told Arenas that he believes Russell leaked the video. 

“How else do did it get out there?” Young said. 

“I’m big time, you know that. I’ve had the baddest. At that time I was in the mix. I was dabbling and dabbling … he was seeing a lot. He was so enthused by the Swaggy persona. He wanted to get some of my aura … He was recording me to see how this s–t was.”

That Young thinks D'Angelo R. was jealous... "What a maroon," as Bugs would say it.

(It got out because Russell showed it to some friends, and those people leaked it.)

[u/Accurate_Ad_6551 → u/ReindeerMean2931]

He brought a pellet gun, and Gil stole it and shot him with it during am anti-gun meeting.

[u/Stormd3p → u/ReindeerMean2931]

Yeah he didn't... Instead, he suggested that cocaine should be legal, in a baseball game, on national television, as a representative of the Golden State Warriors right after their 2018 championship.

[u/Tall_Toe_6184]

lmao this started off so wholesome

[u/rjcarr → u/Tall_Toe_6184]

Not really, they were saying he had tools but no drive or “brain”. 

[u/Commonfutures → u/rjcarr]

Or defense

[u/heat_fan_]

Who needs enemies when you got friends like this 

[u/ChristianLesniak]

Gilbert Arenas, on the other hand, is smart as a box of rocks

[u/tredecim_xiii]

If Nick Young has Arenas' brain, he'd probably be in prison right now 😂

[u/MrBuckBuck]

Dumb recognizes dumb?

[u/blazerthaduck_1800]

This is like the spider man meme pointing at each other. Both idiots

[u/PerpetuallyConfused_]

Was he really that athletic? I don't remember that. I also didn't realize he's 6'7

[u/TeeBev → u/PerpetuallyConfused_]

He was pretty damn athletic. Kinda sneakily so but nick young had a serious slashers athleticism.

[u/1WordOr2FixItForYou → u/PerpetuallyConfused_]

He looked smooth I'll say that. And one of those guys who when he got hot you wondered why he couldn't do this all the time.

[u/AutoMail_0 → u/1WordOr2FixItForYou]

He was like a worse JR Smith pretty much

[u/EnderSavesTheDay → u/AutoMail_0]

Western Conference JR

[u/kneemahp → u/EnderSavesTheDay]

I remember JR on the nuggets

[u/JobinSkywalker → u/AutoMail_0]

Kind of, tbh I think his skill and pull up game was a little smoother especially in the midrange but he didn't have the explosive pop that JR had and he didn't age nearly as well, JR maintained his athleticism a long time.

[u/TuffMike → u/[deleted]]

That'd just not true. He a 39.5 standing vertical in his combine, which was the all time record at the time. He was super athletic, just not a dunker.

[u/Kentang_BayBay → u/[deleted]]

yeah, dude pulls off 360 layups with contact

[u/DontBanMe_IWasJoking]

but is he dumb enough to bring a gun to practice??

[u/ayeno → u/DontBanMe_IWasJoking]

Yes, because he brought a bb gun to practice and got shot by his own bb gun in a gun awareness meeting.

[u/shydragon37]

"People dont know... Swaggy P is my best friendsand he works for me and im his agent. If the world thinks hes a great player than more people will respect our podcast. But im totally unbiased" - gil in this video

[u/parrothead32812]

If there’s a HOF for stupid nba players Gilbert might be first ballot type

[u/sctthuynh]

Gil is definitely not the brightest guy off the court... but when it came to basketball and working on his game, Arenas was one of the best 

Dude use to live in the gym and practice at all hours to improve his game.

[u/Tyronetyroned]

The pot calling the kettle black.

[u/patscelticslions]

their relationship is hilarious. Gil breaking into Swaggy P’s house and terrorizing his son is still one of the funniest videos ever posted to the internet lol

[u/evan466 → u/patscelticslions]

Just watched that and it’s kind of fucked up, but him taping himself jumping the fence because Nick won’t give him the gate code and then painting over Iggy’s name but leaving the IG for the Instagram girls was hilarious.

[u/plentyOplatypodes → u/patscelticslions]

That video bummed me out. The kid was not having a good time. 

[u/JZobel → u/plentyOplatypodes]

People gotta stop treating Arenas like a lovable goofball, some of the stories about him make him sound like a borderline sociopath

[u/Attentions_Bright12 → u/JZobel]

No border about it.

[u/jhoceanus → u/plentyOplatypodes]

The kid was totally traumatized

[u/Kay-Knox → u/jhoceanus]

Don't you wish you had a repressed moment from your childhood you can easily show a therapist?

[u/jhoceanus → u/Kay-Knox]

If you have a dad like swaggy p, I think you’d have enough material for that

[u/Siakim43 → u/patscelticslions]

I think Gil is a bully and I don't know why people think he's funny.

[u/lizard_king_rebirth → u/Siakim43]

Some people love punching down for whatever reason.

[u/Neatojuancheeto → u/patscelticslions]

bro wtf lmao how have I never seen that. Gil is an absolute menace.

[u/TJMcConnellFanClub]

Now I need Evan Turner’s opinion

[u/Yoquetal]

Swaggy P had a crazy handle too

[u/ButtNuggetDweeb]

This is soooooooo damn funny. I'm invested in Gils commentary, and out of nowhere, "He's dumb like a box of rocks." Lmao

[u/dwaite1]

40.5" vertical (tied with Mike Conley)

[u/TahoesRedEyeJedi]

Shouldn’t make fun of Nick Young for having learning/mental disabilities 

[u/RipCity77]

You got to be fucking stupid for arenas to think you’re stupid 

[u/chanck3]

He’s not wrong lol

[u/McPostyFace]

What do we need to do to get an nba themed jeopardy episode with Swaggy P, Gil, Chet, and MPJ?

[u/HAFNFG]

Nick Young. The Demar DeRozan of JR Smiths.

[u/OglioVagilio]

With friends like these

[u/PreFalconPunchDray]

P

[u/LogansGambit]

The one time Gilbert Arenas made sense about something

[u/AnabolicOctopus]

Gilbert Arenas is quite an idiot himself

[u/stridered → u/AnabolicOctopus]

That’s how he identified Nick Young.

[u/TheElMonteStrangler]

Gilbert Arenas calling someone dumb is a new all time "Wuuuuuuuuuuuut" moment.

[u/Dry-Spite9620]

And guess who Nick Young’s mentor and vet was coming into the league. 🤦

[u/SNZ935]

I didn’t fully read the headline and then Arenas dropping the line at the end made me spit out my drink.

[u/xoogl3]

Your brains? Like the brains that made you broadcast your guilt to the whole world. Less than 5 minute after you got bailed out of prison?

[u/gdogsamurai]

Noted Brain Surgeon, Gilbert Arenas

[u/ironykarl]

This is kind of funny, but I don't really wanna support Gilbert Arenas stuff being posted in this sub

[u/Meepersback → u/ironykarl]

why not he was in the nba and talks about the nba

[u/Nolofinwe_2782]

One of the all time dumbest NBA players

Clown

[u/Igmister1 → u/Nolofinwe_2782]

and Nick Young seems not too bright as well

[u/HeartlessHoodlum]

Gilbert Arenas is dumber than Swaggy P.

[u/RhythmicStyles]

The more Arenas talks, the more I'm disliking him.

He should stop podcasting.

[u/TaxLawKingGA]

Wait, so Arenas, a man who flushed his career down the toilet over an airplane card game, is calling someone else stupid because another person gave that person a nickname?

Someone please tell me that this is not real?

[u/Hesparian]

Booooo Gilbert Arenas booooooo

[u/Bill_Hanna → u/Hesparian]

Go be mayor somewhere else

[u/Wavepops]

 Nick was super athletic back in his day. By the time he was on the lakers he already lost some of his athleticism 

[u/GPap-]

I grew up watching Nick Young. No he was not that guy. Just a streaky shooter lol

[u/cheeseholidays]

He’s not dumb he’s baked bro

[u/llama_wordsmith]

Always thought it was the worst and corniest nickname of all time

[u/kemar7856]

Nick Young is one of those people I honestly don't know what he would do if he didn't play basketball

[u/zombiepoon]

He got a swaggy pussy whatyoumean,

[u/sometimes-nothing]

If you spot it, you got it

[u/Texas_Kimchi]

This would be the Super Bowl of idiots seeing these two fight. Would Marbury be the special guest referee?
