Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas didn't enjoy his recent interaction with some fans during his NBA2K grind. Arenas, who's known as No Chill Gil, usually lives up to his nickname. He trolls, comments and says whatever is on his mind about certain things.

According to Arenas, fans started to call him out on his runs as a "fake snitch." This referred to how he showed up in a recent episode of "Gil's Arena" where he appeared with a brown paper bag that read "Informant Lunch." This referred to what has happened around the association regarding illegal gambling.

Recently, there have been issues about gambling that led to the arrest of Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier. Even Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups was arrested due to alleged rigged poker games by the Mafia.

"I was playing 2K, one of the dudes I'm playing against called me a snitch," Arenas said. "I went 0-for-16 in front of my fanbase. I affected me and some of y'all sanguage defamed me with false information. "I was averaging 18 a game before this nonsense — so just know… if I don’t drop 20 in my next game, I’m suing everybody in real life. Comments included," Arenas wrote on his post.

Arenas' trolling went as far as him being accused of allegedly giving information to the FBI. NBA insider Rachel Nichols reportedly claimed Gilbert Arenas was a snitch, which he denied.

"That's cool, but Rachel Nichols is foul. She used my video and she actually wrote that I possibly snitched... It ain't got s**t to do with me."

Gilbert Arenas claimed that his arrest was different

Gilbert Arenas was arrested in July for being indicted on a federal charge regarding "running an illegal underground high stakes gambling operation." With his arrest during the summer, there were questions about whether it was related to the cases of Rozier and Billups.

However, the three-time All-Star confirmed that his case was different than the ones related to the recent events. Arenas talked about it during his recent guest appearance on a live stream at Playback.

“This is a whole different level,” Arenas said. “My case is different.”

Arenas pleaded not guilty to the charges pressed against him. According to him, the difference between his case and the recent ones is the operation name.

“Mine didn’t have no operation name,” Arenas said. “There’s no operation.”Rozier was arrested under the name Operation Nothing But Net, while Billups was arrested under the name Operation Royal Flush.”
