Gilbert Arenas Says He Ruined Irv Gotti, Ja Rule’s $175K Basketball Bet

Retired NBA star Gilbert Arenas says he enjoys to still be breathing after he cost Irv Gotti and Ja Rule $175k … declaring he deliberately busted up a bet they had on a video game he was playing in — and they raged over it!!

Arenas — who was on the Warriors at the time — stated he was playing a roadway video game versus the Firecrackers when he overheard Gotti and Ja discussing they had actually banked on the Dubs to cover the spread that night.

Representative No says he had no concept what the spread was, however made it his objective to ruin their night … understanding he needed to score some more indicate eliminate the bet.

Arenas stated his Warriors were losing to the Firecrackers, led by Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley, and with the video game out of reach, he boiled down the court and tossed up a half-court three-pointer.

Naturally, the wild shot entered … sinking any hopes Gotti and Ja had of squandering that night.

“[I] came down and shot it,” Arenas stated. “And I could see the disappointment in their face. I won. I won the game. We’re going back to the locker room, and I’m sitting there like, ‘Yeah, I hurt somebody’s feelings today.'”

“I didn’t know how much money they had on the game. I didn’t really know it was about betting, but I knew I hurt [Gotti’s] feelings. I knew I hurt his feelings. He was disappointed even though they won. He was disappointed, so that means I won.”

Thanks to a current interview on the “Drink Champs” podcast, we now understand that Gotti and Ja bet $175K on the Firecrackers to cover the spread versus Gilbert’s Warriors.

“We wanted to kill Gilbert Arenas after that,” Gotti stated on the podcast. “The whole arena knew we had 175 [thousand dollars] on this. The refs knew. Everyone knew.”
