Gilbert Arenas is no stranger to stirring up controversy.
As he showed earlier this week when he called out Vanessa Bryant, the former Washington Wizards star has never been one to pull punches.
Over the past month, LeBron James has increasingly become linked to steroid use allegations. In response, Arenas spoke out on the topic and suggested that it was Michael Jordan, not James, who may have used PEDs.
“We played three rounds of 18 holes of golf in the day and then Jordan came out and give us 55,” Arenas said recently.
“I’m tired as hell but Jordan wasn’t… There’s six tests now, there was one test back then. So, all the players that was playing 82 games every year, oh, walking through the NBA season all those players… If you just wanna gonna go there, there was a lot of players playing 82 games period.”

Arenas then pointed out that Jordan never took particularly good care of himself in his later professional years.
“What did Michael Jordan play at 40 years old, averaging 20, no sleep, golfing, cigar smoking, drinking, gambling and he played all 82 games,” Arenas added. “… 82 games as a 40-year-old man averaging 20, who gambled, smoked cigars.”
Arenas then cited Jordan’s baldness as proof.
“I can show you some pictures of a full head of hair, 3 months later, hairline gone,” Arenas continued.
“Buffer than a motherf***** out there… All I’m saying is you had waves when the season ended. Decided you needed to get buffed to face them clotheslines. And then your hair gone the next year is all I’m saying.”
Arenas came with some pretty serious claims there.
Will Jordan or a member of his team ultimately opt to address them? Time will tell.
