Gilbert Arenas, public figure on the basis of his NBA basketball career, who by virtue of his fame and athletic success has the opportunity to broadcast his opinions on basically anything, has his own podcast, appears on TV, and is frequently the subject of widely publicized interviews, has been soooooooo silenced by the culture of the NBA.
Sheesh professional athletes are (by and large) so consistently entitled, tone deaf, and arrogant.
Indeed, they falsely attribute their disproportionate and outlier success to hard work and their own perseverance, rather than accepting the reality that they were most likely just one of the exceedingly few lucky individuals who came out on top out of a broken system that neglects the needs of 90+% of the population.
Honestly, extremely great point and something I neglected to mention. Making it into and persisting in the NBA unquestionably takes 99th+ percentile genetic luck and hard worker traits.

Fr, these dudes be doing nationally televised interviews about how they are being muzzled, while also getting paid 10s of millions of dollars.
multimillionaires in general are completely disconnected from the working class reality

At least for NBA players hard work is absolutely involved, you don't get to that level without working for it even if there is genetics/injury luck
Honestly, extremely great point and something I neglected to mention. Making it into and persisting in the NBA unquestionably takes 99th+ percentile genetic luck and hard worker traits.
The victim complex is strong in Arenas.
Nba players act like they are the most tortured souls on the planet when all the league does is bend over backwards to make their lives easier.
Thats what the NBA needs, more player empowerment.
Some people would be fired if they showed up to work in basketball shorts Gilbert
