UPDATE 3:

NBA spokesperson Mike Bass released a statement about Gilbert Arenas’ Instagram posts on behalf of both the NBA and WNBA:

"Gilbert Arenas's comments are repugnant, utterly disrespectful and flat-out wrong.  WNBA players are strong, talented and determined individuals who give it their all on the court and serve as inspiring role models to millions around the world.  They should be celebrated for their accomplishments, not disparaged with ignorant insults."

UPDATE 2:

WNBA player Swin Cash responded to Gilbert Arenas' comments with these tweets:

UPDATE:

Gilbert Arenas just apologi...oh, wait, no he didn't. He just went and made things worse for himself with another IG post that features him trying to explain his original comments:

Gilbert Arenas routinely posts ratchet videos on his Instagram page, but he took things to an uncomfortable new level with a clip that he put up late last night.

The former NBA star posted a video of two women playing basketball in thongs along with a caption that indicated that he believes the video is what the WNBA should look like. He went as far as to say that he would buy season tickets to WNBA games if star Skylar Diggins played in her underwear—“I dont care if she missed every layup,” he wrote, “imma buy season tickets and I dont even know where the fuck #tulsa is”—and compared the current crop of WNBA players to the characters on Orange Is the New Black.

You can check out his entire caption here:

We’re fairly certain Arenas will delete his IG post soon, just like he tends to do with most of his IG posts. But if you want to check it out—WARNING: OBVIOUSLY NSFW!—we’ve included it below...
