Gilbert Arenas offered a fiery rebuttal to Cam Newton’s recent claims about strip club competitiveness, asserting that NBA players “blow NFL players out of the water” in these high-stakes spending battles. Speaking on his show Gil’s Arena, Arenas dissected Newton’s remarks, claiming the financial disparity between the two leagues makes such a competition laughable.

“All I was thinking is, he must never went in with an NBA player. You ain’t got what we got. Blow you out of the water. You act like we never been in the club when football n****s came in there.” 

“We doing our little thing, having a good old time, being regular, normal and then football want to come in and take their shirt off, then they want to do the four, five bottles and do all this stuff.”

“‘Give me ten, you want to order some, give me 20 of those, you want to order some, you know what, 50 of those and send one bottle to him so it looks different. I’m sorry it happened plenty of times, you know what I mean.'” 

Arenas’ argument rests heavily on the salary disparity between the leagues. The average NBA salary is approximately $11.9 million, nearly four times higher than the NFL’s $3.2 million average. While the highest-paid NFL player, Dak Prescott, earns $60 million annually, top NBA stars like Stephen Curry ($55.8 million) and soon-to-be $60-million earners like Damian Lillard, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Nikola Jokic further highlight the NBA’s financial supremacy.

This massive income gap allows NBA players to outspend their NFL peers effortlessly in strip clubs and other lavish environments. Arenas highlighted this difference humorously, asserting, “It’s happened plenty of times.”

Newton’s comments, which sparked Arenas’ rebuttal, came during his Funky Friday podcast. Newton described strip clubs as battlegrounds where men compete to flaunt wealth. While Newton’s competitive approach entertained listeners, Arenas turned it into a point of contention, illustrating the NFL’s comparative lack of financial muscle.

Arenas’ comments underscore the differences in financial clout between the two leagues. While Newton framed strip clubs as competitive arenas, Arenas turned the narrative into a reflection of the leagues’ economic hierarchies.

Ultimately, the playful exchange shed light on the larger-than-life personalities and extravagance that make professional sports fascinating to fans. Whether in a game or a club, the NBA vs. NFL debate extends far beyond the court or field—and Arenas was more than happy to keep that competition alive.
