Gilbert Arenas and Kwame Brown have engaged in a back and forth in recent weeks, exchanging jabs on social media, letting everybody know how they feel about one another. Whenever Brown says something, Arenas is ready to reply, even when he's not directly mentioned. 

In recent days, the former No. 1 overall pick went off on LeBron James after the Los Angeles Lakers superstar checked a stat sheet in the middle of a game. That image went viral and everybody had something to say about it, including Kwame. 

The now 39-year-old went off on Bron, criticizing his behavior during a recent Lakers game. 

"So for LeBron to be looking at the stat sheet on the bench, that was the wrong message to send. That was horrible and none of you players should ever emulate that... Kobe Bryant would have never done that."

Arenas fired back at those comments on Instagram, sharing a lengthy post addressing Brown's comments, blasting him for using Kobe's name. Gil said that Kobe never needed to look for Kwame's stats since he always had zero points. 

Kwame Brown ur right Kobe would have NEVER looked at the stat sheet becuz he KNEW yo ass had 0. The whole arena knew u had a Krispy Kreme (DONUT)extra glaze with the hot light on clown. You were a professional exerciser, a big buff BUST out there doing cardio. YOU should have never been put back into the game"Bambi hands" yo hands were like white girls legs in scary movies (extra wiggly). You have a lot to say about basketball players for someone who hates to talk about basketball. This ain't white boy tactics. The only thing that was white boy was YO FCKING stats. Had stats like a white nba player named (mark madden or Todd fuller). Fun fact (in history there's been a few hundred thousand athletes in American sports SO there's been (a few hundred thousand diff names on those jerseys). Kwame "bustlife doo doo "brown jersey ranks No. 2 in (do NOT get caught wearing this jersey). NO CAP I'm dead ass serious GOOGLE it. The nba put Kwame jersey on sale (June 28 2001) they took it out the nba store (December 24th 2001)... The world must never forget How sorry u were #mikeeppsvoice on ur jersey numbers

These two don't have any love for each other and it shows. The past two months or so, they have traded shots online and that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon. 

Meanwhile, LeBron and the Lakers keep struggling, even after Russell Westbrook recorded a very good game against the Utah Jazz on Monday night. That hasn't changed anything for the Purple and Gold, who once again lost on Wednesday, showing a poor image against the Indiana Pacers.
