Arenas began his message by urging Stewart to pack his belongings and prepare for a potential trade, complete with a touch of humor. He emphasized the audacity of charging at a basketball legend like LeBron James on national television. 

Gilbert humorously suggested that Stewart might be subject to a drug test to ensure his actions weren’t drug-induced, alluding to the fact that such behavior is uncommon in the NBA.

Arenas went on to list some unwritten rules of NBA confrontations, highlighting the importance of not squaring up with players like LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

He also mentioned that players like Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson should not be provoked, and only a select few, like Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul, can engage in fistfights without severe penalties.

Throughout his post, Gilbert Arenas mixed humor with a serious message, advising Stewart to act tough in front of the crowd and sell it like a WWE performance when teammates join the fray. 

He concluded by comparing the situation to past incidents involving players who got too close to LeBron James and the potential consequences they faced.

While Arenas’ message carried a comedic tone, it also underscored the gravity of the situation for Isaiah Stewart. Going after a basketball icon like LeBron James carries implications that extend beyond the court.
