When the D’Angelo Russell/Nick Young story broke earlier this week, one of my first thoughts was, “OMG, can you imagine what Gilbert Arenas is going to have to say about this on Instagram?!” Some of Arenas’ Instagram posts over the course of the last six months have been awful (see here and here). But he had a pretty funny take on the Matt Barnes/Derek Fisher fight (he claimed he was actually there when the fight went down—and that he was ready to bail Barnes out of jail), and he’s friends with Young. So surely he was going to have something to say about the D’Angelo/Swaggy P situation at some point, right?

It took him a couple days, but last night, he delivered his reaction to it with an Instagram post that takes aim at both Russell and Fisher. In his IG post, he set up a 2-on-2 death match featuring Russell and Fisher versus Young and Barnes and, well, check it out for yourself:

Arenas has gotten into the habit of deleting most of his IG posts in the past, so here’s the caption he included with it just in case he takes this one down:
