Gilbert Arenas, Ryan Hollins defend Rockets' Jalen Green after Bill Simmons’ comments

Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas and former NBA veteran – and current Rockets broadcaster – Ryan Hollins defended Rockets rookie Jalen Green a couple weeks after The Ringer’s Bill Simmons said, “F--- Jalen Green” when explaining why he wouldn’t vote for him on the All-Rookie Team.

The subject was broached on “The No Chill with Gilbert Arenas Podcast,” which is co-hosted by Josiah Johnson, who basically is the king of NBA Twitter.

“We had a certain member of the media, who never hooped in his life,” Johnson begins, and later breaks down Simmons’ comments for Arenas, explaining that Simmons is like Harry Potter’s Voldemort, “We do not acknowledge” the name.
