The former basketball point guardGilbert Arenashas taken to social media to deny snitch allegations in the ongoingNBA gambling probe.


On Monday, October 27, he posted a video online, along with the caption: “First off… these snitch allegations y’all throwing on my name gotta STOP. Ever since the internet started calling me ‘Agent 911,’ my 2K numbers been in witness protection.


“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. #DefamationAffectsBuckets #AgentZeroNotAgentInformant.”


In the past week, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, and former NBA star Damon Jones were arrested by the FBI and charged overalleged illegal gambling. The separate allegations have been denied. However, the 43-year-old insists he was talking about his case not this FBI probe.


In July, Arenas was arrested alongside five others on a federal indictment alleging that they were operating anillegal gambling business. He was later seendancing out of jailas he denied any involvement. The former NBA star claims the cases are not linked.
